Chapter 515 He Doesn't Like Her at All!
Kathy couldn't focus on her work the entire morning.
She didn't want to be like this, but she couldn't stop thinking about what Elara had said.
Actually, Kathy had initially considered the disparity between her and Gerald's families.
To ordinary people, her conditions might seem pretty good.
Her previous family was considered wealthy, though not comparable to the likes of the Stuarts, but they had millions to hundreds of millions of dollars in annual turnover.
Later, the factory had issues, her father fell ill, and although the matters were resolved, the business couldn't continue.
Kathy didn't have the ability to manage it, and her father didn't expect her to take over the family business. In the end, he converted everything into real estate, and after compensating the workers, there was still a considerable amount left.
Several houses, two of which were in prime locations, meant Kathy didn't have to do anything and could live a worry-free life.
But compared to the Clarence Family, her background was definitely at a disadvantage.
It was said that Ulysses' maternal side also had a large business, and Ulysses' mother and Gerald were truly well-matched.
When Kathy was considering these things, it was Josephine who kept persuading her, helping her let go of these psychological burdens and bravely pursue Gerald.
But who knew, Elara would suddenly appear?
Elara's words were very insulting, and Kathy couldn't ignore her.
Moreover, she said she liked Gerald, but what about Gerald?
Although Gerald's previous attitude had indicated some things, they were still well-matched.
Kathy couldn't help but overthink.
Around eleven o'clock, her office phone rang.
Actually, Kathy had been working on a project, but she was mentally exhausted today and afraid of making mistakes, so she took a leave to organize some materials in her office.
She picked up the phone, and it was the project leader, the initiator of the entire project, and also Kathy's mentor from university.
But the investment matters were all handled by this leader.
"Kathy," The other party began, "Can you come to my office?"
Kathy was very talented and highly valued by her mentor, and this project was mainly led by her.
This leader had always respected her.
Kathy agreed, grabbed some documents that needed the leader's signature, and went to his office.
"Kathy, have a seat."
The leader, in his forties, had the typical successful person's belly.
Kathy thanked him and handed over the documents, "Please sign these."
The leader signed them all, then looked at Kathy hesitantly.
Kathy was puzzled. "Is there a problem with the project?"
The leader sighed, "Kathy, did you offend someone outside?"
Kathy was even more puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"I just received a call, the other party was very rude, threatening us to fire you, or they would stop our investment."
Kathy immediately thought of Elara, realizing it must be her.
The leader continued, "I'm not afraid of such threats, but I'm worried they might target you, so I'm giving you a heads-up."
Kathy stood up, "Thank you, this is my personal matter, I didn't expect to cause trouble for the company. If... if there's really a problem with the investment, please let me know, I'll find a way."
The leader smiled, "Our project has a great future, many people are eager to invest, don't worry, that's not a problem."
Kathy felt somewhat relieved, "That's good, thank you, I'll be careful."
After leaving the leader's office, Kathy called Josephine, asking if she had time for lunch and wanted to meet her.
She said, "You're pregnant now, let's meet at a café in your neighborhood, I'll come to you."
Josephine said, "Sure, I'll send you the location."
Half an hour later, Kathy arrived at the agreed location.
Josephine's villa community had many supermarkets and shops, and the café wasn't far from her home, so she arrived ten minutes early to wait.
"Kathy!" Seeing her, Josephine stood up and greeted her softly.
There were other people in the café, so Josephine kept her voice low.
Kathy walked over and first looked at her belly. "How have you been these past few days? Any discomfort?"
Josephine smiled, "I'm fine. How about you and Gerald?"
Although they had been in touch via phone, Josephine still wanted to hear Kathy say it herself.
"Not bad." Kathy smiled, "I came to ask you about someone."
"Who?"
"Do you know Elara?"
Josephine was stunned, "Elara? Why does that name sound familiar?"
Actually, Josephine had met this person at a gathering with Nicole before, but Nicole had introduced so many people that she couldn't remember them all.
Seeing that Josephine had no impression, Kathy felt a bit better.
This meant Gerald had no real connection with Elara.
If he did, the Clarences would definitely know.
"What's wrong? Why are you asking about her? Do you need me to find her for you?"
"No..." Kathy organized her thoughts and decided to tell Josephine about it.
Elara was clearly not someone who would give up easily.
Kathy didn't want to tell Gerald, not because she didn't trust him, but because she didn't want to trouble him with these matters.
He was already busy enough.
After hearing Kathy out, Josephine was furious, "How could she do that! Gerald doesn't like her at all! If he did, he would have been with her long ago, how could he be single for so many years!"
Kathy quickly said, "Don't get so emotional, be careful of the baby. I'm telling you this not because I'm affected by it, but because I think she might be a spoiled rich girl, sometimes acting willfully, so I want you to think of a way to talk to her."
Seeing Kathy wasn't affected, Josephine said, "Don't believe her words, don't be misled by her. Gerald is very decisive, no one can force him. Being with you is neither my doing nor because of family pressure, it's definitely because you're excellent and he has feelings for you."
Kathy felt a bit shy and lowered her head, "I know."
"So you must trust Gerald!" Josephine said, "As for Elara, don't worry, leave it to me, I'll handle it."
Kathy felt truly relieved, "Don't tell Gerald, he's already busy."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it, no need to involve Gerald!"
Seeing Josephine's confidence, Kathy smiled, "Alright, I'll wait for your good news."
"It's lunchtime, let's eat together."
"What do you want to eat?"
Josephine leaned in and whispered, "I want barbecue."
Kathy was shocked. "Can you eat that now?"
