Chapter 192 Overwhelming Enthusiasm
Mrs. Hilton?
“She misses you a lot, so if you aren’t going to meet her, she might call Angela about this.”
Kathy stopped short and asked him, “Are you threatening me?”
“Not at all, I just think that you know how enthusiastic my mother is. Knowing that you will be coming here, she has instructed me to take care of you.”
“I’m here for work, so I won’t have any leisurely time.” Kathy’s expression darkened.
“I remember that you don’t have any plans today.” Billy lifted the corners of his mouth coldly.
“I need to rest, so I hope you won’t disturb me anymore.” Seeing that her taxi had arrived, Kathy headed towards it.
Billy just stared at her with a calm expression.
As expected, Kathy emerged from the taxi again after boarding it for only a short while. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The driver had refused to take her in as a passenger.
Kathy looked at Billy who was standing nearby and understood what was going on.
“Billy, that’s enough!” Kathy stomped towards him angrily.
Billy continued to gesture her to board his car and his smile was still there on his face.
“You have to know that there is nothing that I can’t do in all of City B.” Billy’s tone was very arrogant.
Kathy bit her lips while shoving herself into his car angrily.
“I just need to have a meal with Mrs. Hilton, right?” Kathy tried to persuade herself to calm down. She needed to attend this meet up because of her mother’s relationship with Mrs. Hilton. It was all for her mother’s sake.
“Of course, but if you wanted to stay overnight with us, my mother won’t dislike your presence.” Billy continued to flash a smile.
Kathy glared at him furiously, “In your dreams!”
She was really fed up with Billy at the moment.
“Why isn’t Herbert together with you?” Kathy asked coldly.
“I haven’t married to her yet, so we don’t spend a lot of time with each other.” Billy replied faintly.
“Did she know that Mrs. Hilton is inviting me over?” Kathy continued to ask him.
“So what if she knows about that?” Billy was confused.
“She is still your fiancée in the end, she might misunderstand me again if she sees me coming to your house.” Kathy replied without any emotion.
“If she is going to kick up a fuss because of you, the Hilton family won’t prefer such a petty daughter-in- law anyway.” Billy replied coldly as if this didn’t bother him one bit.
Kathy frowned as she could sense that Billy and Herbert’s relationship wasn’t as good as before.
Anyway, their marriage was just an arranged marriage for business purposes. All they were seeking were to maximize each other’s profits and interests.
The car drove into an extravagant villa after half an hour, the villa was masked by the greeneries, it was as if one had walked into a forest.
Kathy could never feel calm when Billy was around.
He was cunning by nature, his thoughts are deep and everything he did, made people think that he was up to something.
“Does Mrs. Hilton normally stay at City B ?” Kathy got out of the car and looked at the magnificent building in front of her, this was Qi’s old mansion.
“Yeah, my mother only goes to City N when she has something to do there, she stays here normally.”
A butler swiftly came out to greet Kathy and she was brought into the living room, Billy didn’t come along.
Jennifer was already there waiting for Kathy, she smiled brightly upon seeing her, “I didn’t have the chance to entertain you last time at Billy’s engagement party. I always felt bad about it, I’m happy that you can come here today, Kathy.”
Kathy smiled awkwardly, she wouldn’t have come over if Billy didn’t force her to like that.
But Kathy calmed down after seeing Jennifer, she was friendly and nice.
“Mr. Hilton was waiting for me at the airport, it was hard to refuse such kindness,” said Kathy plainly.
Jennifer smiled even brighter, “I was afraid that Billy would frighten you. Make yourself at home Kathy, it’s not the time for dinner yet, I can show you around if you want to.”
Kathy looked around, the mansion was huge. Apart from the main building, there were other buildings scattered around the garden behind the main building.
One of the buildings was probably Billy’s.
“Mrs. Hilton, it’s fine, you should rest more. I’ll just stay here and accompany you.” She didn’t really want to go outside and accidentally ran into Billy.
Being around Mrs. Hilton made her feel much more comfortable than Billy.
Jennifer paused for a moment and she smacked her forehead vexedly, “I must be getting old, you must be tired from the trip. Let’s just sit down and talk then.”
She ordered the servant to make some rose tea after finishing her sentence.
The smell made Kathy frowned, it was a familiar smell and it made her feel nostalgic.
“This tea has a unique note to it,” said Kathy as she was sipping the tea.
It didn’t taste like normal flower tea.
“Right, every year I will go to the Western Hill and pick the roses myself. The weather there is different, the roses grown there are often sweeter and more fragrant.”
“I see.”
Kathy had been to the Western Hill when she was still a child, no wonder it made her feel nostalgic.
Her father used to make this tea too when he was still alive, the taste was almost the same.
Billy finally came over around diner time, Jennifer scolded him, “What were you doing in your room? Kathy came over and you didn’t even bother to accompany us.”
“I don’t think Ms. Kathy like to see me.” Billy squinted, his eyes were expressive.
“Did you frighten Kathy?” Jennifer’s face darkened.
“Did I, Ms. Kathy?” Billy looked at Kathy instead of answering.
Kathy said sarcastically, “I must say that I was frightened when I suddenly saw Mr. Hilton waiting for me at the airport today.”
Billy laughed softly, “Well, you are my mother’s important guest.”
Jennifer could tell the sarcasm in their conversation, she grimaced and tried to ease the tension between them, “Let’s eat. Billy, you are to take Kathy to the hotel later, okay?”
“My pleasure.” Billy raised his brows at Kathy.
Kathy acted like she didn’t hear anything.
Jennifer made the cooks prepared Kathy’s favourite dishes, the dishes on the table were on the sweet side, it suited Kathy’s taste. Most dishes that were prepared today were southern dishes.
Billy wasn’t happy about it, “Mom, you are biased.”
“What, do you not like to eat them?” Jennifer looked at her son.
“I will eat them.” Billy glanced at Kathy with droopy eyes.
Kathy frowned, she was puzzled at why Jennifer knew what she liked to eat so well, was it just a coincidence?
“Kathy, I heard that you are preparing for the postgraduate qualification exam?” asked Billy.
Kathy looked up, how did he know about it?
“I saw your exam handbook.” Billy explained as if he saw through her thoughts.
“Yeah.” Kathy nodded.
“The postgraduate qualification exam? Where are you planning to go? I can ask Billy to get you a referrer,” said Jennifer.
Kathy smiled, “I don’t want to bother you with this Mrs. Hilton, thank you for your offer.”
“Don’t be such a stranger, remember to follow up, Billy,” said Jennifer to her son.
Billy smirked, “I will do my utmost to help Kathy.”
Kathy glared at him, she didn’t want his help.
Suddenly, the housekeeper who was at the entrance walked in hurriedly, “Young master, Ms. Herbert is here.”
“Herbert is here? Was she in town recently?” Jennifer asked Billy.
Billy squinted his eyes and rubbed his chin, the expression in his eyes frigid.
“Mrs. Hilton.” Herbert already walked in, she halted in her tracks when she saw Kathy, it was obvious on her face that she was displeased about it.
Why was Kathy here?
