Finding a wife meant finding someone you truly cherished.
Marrying some suitable woman for business advantages? That’d be lifelong misery!
In the car, Geoffrey replayed Sean’s words while staring at Maureen’s text message.
After long hesitation, he typed his reply:
“Yeah.”
Maureen arrived early at Katherine’s home.
The two had breakfast together, waiting for Andrea to come and apologize.
“Reenie, why is Andrea suddenly willing to apologize?”
Katherine was puzzled.
A few days ago, Andrea was still spending money to suppress trending topics. Now she suddenly wants to apologize. It’s really confusing.
Maureen didn’t know either.
Normally, if Andrea got in trouble, Geoffrey and Sean wouldn’t just stand by.
Those trending topics? They could suppress them anytime they wanted.
The only explanation now might be that for some reason, those two didn’t want to help her.
“Don’t overthink it. Just focus on getting justice for what you went through.”
Maureen said.
“Mhm.”
“I’ll hide first later. You take your time and handle this.”
“Okay.”
At ten o’clock, Andrea showed up as expected. Maureen went to the bedroom first.

A lawyer came with Andrea.
Wearing a mask and sunglasses, Andrea entered the villa and looked at Katherine sitting on the sofa.
Katherine had some baby fat, making her look especially young.
“Miss Katherine, hello.”
Andrea kept her sunglasses on.
Hearing this, Katherine didn’t invite her to sit either. She cut straight to the chase: “Big star Andrea, let’s skip the formalities. Apologize now.”
Andrea choked up.
Thinking of the online news, she had to apologize: “I’m sorry.”
“I don’t think you’re sincere at all. Let’s just stop talking.”
Katherine was deliberately making things difficult for her.
Andrea grew impatient but was stopped by the lawyer beside her.
She could only remove her sunglasses and mask, bowing again: “I apologize.”
“I hope your company will let this go. I’ll accept any compensation you demand.”
Seeing the always arrogant Andrea apologize gave Katherine unprecedented satisfaction.
“I recall my client said you must apologize to me first, then publicly admit plagiarism to the media. You’ll agree?”
Katherine had already heard the demands from Maureen.
They’d never go easy on a plagiarist like Andrea.
Andrea didn’t answer, instead glancing at her lawyer.
The lawyer stepped forward: “Miss Katherine, could you help Andie by convincing your client to avoid admitting plagiarism?”
“If you agree, my connections at Capital City law firms can get you the status and reputation you crave overnight.”
Katherine froze in disbelief.

So this creep was trying to bribe her.
She knew Andrea would never truly apologize!
Katherine smiled: “You’ve miscalculated. I’m not like the famous Miss Rowe who cares about status and reputation.”
After speaking, she approached Andrea, staring directly at her with scorn.
“Miss Rowe, a woman addicted to plagiarism, ‘wild and unrestrained‘ abroad, then stealing husbands af- ter returning–don’t pretend to care about reputation now. Just wait for the lawsuit and lose everything!”
“Let me make this clear: I never intended to accept your apology today.”
Andrea stared at her in disbelief: “What did you say?”
What shocked her more was the bedroom door opening–Maureen walked out.
So… she’d witnessed her crawling on her knees?
Rage instantly consumed her.
“Reenie, just because you couldn’t win Geoffrey’s heart, now you’re having your friend take revenge?”
Maureen was stunned.
Every word this woman spoke grated on her nerves.
“Did I arrange your plagiarism too?”
Maureen countered.
Provoked like this, Andrea abandoned all pretense of apology.
Hatress burned in her eyes as she glared at Maureen: “I offered you a chance to back down. Since you refuse, don’t blame me for playing dirty later.”
Ignoring her lawyer, she stormed out.
Andrea got back into the luxury van. After dismissing her companion, she grabbed her phone and called Frank: “You promised to protect me?
I want Maureen dead!
As long as she dies, I’ll go back with you immediately.”

Andrea finished speaking, then picked up her phone and sent the address to Frank.
Inside the villa.
Katherine retrieved a hidden camera from nearby.

“Reenie, you’re the one with the plan. You knew she wouldn’t apologize publicly, so you had me record her apology.”
After saying that, she opened the video saved on her phone.
It showed exactly how Andrea apologized and admitted to plagiarism, and how she tried to bribe her.
“Because I know her too well. She acts flexible on the surface, but it’s all for profit. She won’t apologize publicly unless forced.”
“I’ll post this video online right now.”
Katherine was thrilled.
Maureen stopped her: “Don’t rush to post it. I don’t think it’s the right time yet.”
Andrea’s popularity is soaring right now. Even if we post this, the worst she’ll face is a damaged reputa-
tion.
If things go wrong, Katherine might get targeted for revenge.
“I’ll listen to you.”
