Chapter: 206

Dressed like royalty, her dress was quite exquisite.

“Wait a minute, Kathy. Why are you here?" Madeline asked, her face filled with surprise.

"Well, as I desired to come to the auction and have a look around, I asked someone to bring me along," Kathy replied.

Derek raised an eyebrow and scoffed. "Then who on earth will bring you along? Behave yourself and go back home now. Or else, you might end up humiliating yourself!"

Hearing this, Kathy felt hurt and disappointed. Her brother didn't dare to ask her who agreed to bring her to the auction and just scolded her.

“There's no need for you to stress yourself, Derek. I've made my own arrangement," Kathy retorted.

Kathy then turned her head to face Norah, who was now standing on the red carpet. Dressed in a bright red dress, Norah was, without even attempting to, dazzling the crowd. Just a few days back, however, Norah was seriously injured. Kathy wondered how on earth had Norah recovered so soon.

"You are still staying with the Scott family at their place, right, Norah? If then, why don't you have an invitation when today's auction is being held by the Scott family? Besides, I thought Mr. Scott was the one you were chasing after. When did you start to chase after Mr. Andrews?" Kathy mocked as she widened her eyes, pretending to be surprised.

"Oh my God! were you kicked out of the Dreamview Villas by Mr. Scott? Mr. Hayes hasn't kicked you out, right? Or, have you forgotten what we discussed about him the last time we met in the Splendor Building?"

As Kathy concluded her words, she covered her mouth and giggled insolently.

Just as Norah was about to give Kathy a reply, Bryson cleared his throat and said softly, “Excuse me. I believe that you are Mr. Carter's sister, right? I never thought that a daughter of a famous family would spew nonsensical words like that. Mr. Carter, do you just let this undisciplined girl run around? You should be able to bring her to order. Or, should I do that for you?"

Kathy couldn't believe her ears. Looking at Bryson, she blinked rapidly as she studied him. As she met his cold eyes, she couldn't help but swallow hard.

Derek, recognizing Bryson and having been trying to cooperate with his company for quite a long time, nodded and frowned at Kathy.

Outside of the business world, this was the first time he and Bryson had met. The relationship between Bryson and Norah wasn't his concern and all he wanted at that moment was to impress Bryson.

"I told you to behave yourself, Kathy. What part of my instruction don't you understand? I can't believe you just spewed all that rubbish in front of Mr. Andrews and Mr. Hayes. Well, I'll order a taxi for you now to take you home. Here is not a place for gossipers like you!" Derek rebuked Kathy, his voice filled with anger and disappointment.

"Derek! I'm not going back home! Someone has agreed to take me into the auction!" Kathy yelled, without regard that she was in public.

Even though the people around frowned and pointed at her, she didn't care.

Seeing this, Norah slightly shook her head. She knew just how short- tempered Kathy was. Derek and Madeline must have refused to bring Kathy to the auction due to a quarrel. But, being stubborn, Kathy must have decided to come anyway.

By then, the show was almost over. Norah turned to face Bryson and Kason who had offered to take her in and said, “Actually, I came here with Mr. Scott. Besides, I have an invitation card with me."

Just as Bryson wanted to say anything, Derek hurriedly said to Bryson, “I apologize for my sister's arrogance, Mr. Andrews. She will return home now. That aside, I was wondering if you could spare some of your time so that we could talk about our cooperation?"

Bryson shook his head impatiently and replied, “I am busy right now. If you want to have an audience with me, contact my assistant and see if a meeting can be scheduled.”

Just as Bryson concluded his words, his assistant came forward, faced Derek, and said, "You should step back, Mr. Carter. Mr. Andrews loves to have some space around him. He doesn't Like it when people get too close, okay?"

Embarrassed, Derek turned to face Kathy, who hadn't moved from where she stood, and yelled at her, “Kathy! I told you to go home! Have you gone deaf?"

Madeline swiftly grabbed Derek's hand and tried to calm him down, whispering his name, "Derek." The place was filled with many influential people. If Derek lost his cool in front of them, he would regret it forever.
