CEO’s Romantic Affair

And in the end, both of them were exhausted, and Keith started having an illusion. Finally, he looked at Ada and saw that little girl who saved his life that year.

The little girl saved his life, and now he was returning that favor.

He did not do anything, Jeremy, Janice, and the police were soon enough to find them. They were quickly rescued and sent to the hospital.

That was the story Cathryn had read, and there was another one from Ada. She looked at Ada, and her eyes were a little shattered.

Seeing that Cathryn couldn’t answer, Ada was relieved in her heart and said in a proud tone, “Miss Riley, I don’t think you would know about these…”

“Enough.”

Before Ada could finish, Keith interrupted her. His brows were locked, and he grabbed Cathryn’s hand.

“Ada, you know better than I do about the thing you said years ago. I didn’t poke it purely out of our friendship. But if you are proud of it and use it against Cathryn, I don’t think I still have that friendship to keep your name anymore. Was it an accident or one of your plans? I think you know the answer yourself. And the fact that I would cut my wrist to let you live,” He quickly looked at Cathryn, “was just because of the illusion that I thought you were Cathryn Riley.”

Cathryn was shocked again and turned to look at Keith, suddenly remembering a confusing sentence in the diary, way before the hiking.

That girl saved my life, and I’m going to give her mine.

Holding by Keith, his palm was dry and warm, and her small hand curled up in his. She reached another hand to put the cold, trembling fingers on his left wrist. The scar in that place was not obvious, but still, there was a bulge.

She felt as if her heart was hanging by an invisible string, all the way up to her throat, so much that she couldn’t breathe.

Keith’s remarks made Ada’s eyes wide open, and his face, after a flash of confusion, and she calmed down again. Ada clenched her fists, her teeth trembled, and her mouth was stiff.

“Keith, I don’t accept this explanation. It’s too far-fetched. I know you! And I can give you my words here, I didn’t plan anything. It was impossible to risk my own life…”

“Do they even worth anything, your words?”

Both Ada and Cathryn turned their heads. Janice strode repulsively over with an Apple Clarksoni in her delicately manicured fingers.

Janice carries a cocktail, her tone is ridiculous, her eyes are contemptuous, and she looks at Ada, she can’t tell the disgust.

“Even if we didn’t go to look at you, you wouldn’t die. There were a sufficient number of energy bars in your bag, enough for a week. I kept your bags, remember, when you were sent to the hospital! You wanted to force Keith to admit the relationship with you, but everything you did just proved yourself less for him.”

Janice and Kevin didn’t leave early for that hike. In fact, Ada informed them of the wrong time, and they showed up an hour late. In this way, they could contact her when they couldn’t see her there and decide to go on the trip themselves. They actually went faster than at the end of the first day, they saw Ada and Keith’s tents at the base. Ada was so anxious and valued her life too much, so her plan was full of flaws.

Tonight, Ada decided to come to Keith to make her last try but didn’t expect her last trump card, the one she was so proud of for so many years, to now become a death blow. Ada looked pale, staring at Janice and her brain was a mess.

Sighed, Cathryn, who had been standing without talking, suddenly opened her mouth.

She let go of Keith’s hand and walked in front of Ada. She was a little taller than Ada, and now she was wearing her heels, she looked down at Ada, who looked up at her full of resentment.

“You intended to have yourself and Keith fall into that cave, and you left him to starve and to hurt himself with a bag full of food. We have witnessed here that it’s at least a second-degree murder you committed, Miss Clinton.” Cathryn spoke like a female attorney she once played, “If you don’t want to lick the soup behind the iron bars for the next ten years, please leave here right now and don’t ever show up in front of us.”

Cathryn was determined, and Ada’s legs were soft, she suddenly sat on the ground and shivered.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Carefully squatting down, Cathryn put her face in front of the bloodless Ada. It was two similar faces with very different looks.

Letting out a sharp sighed into her ear, Cathryn whispered smilingly, like she was comforting a child.

“Keith was only fifteen when he met me. Tell yourself, did you know him first, or did I? Is it that I look like you, or you look like me? Am I your substitute, or you have been mine, all the time?”

A few people were coming, following Sophia. It was the maid Anne, Elaine, and Helen. They saw Ada sitting on the grass with her face full of tears, her makeup messed up, and she wasn’t looking at anyone. They looked at each other, and no one offered a hand. In the end, Helen asked the maid to send her back to the house and call a taxi.

The evening was generally pleasant apart from this. No one really gave attention to the unwelcome guest, but all of them were looking forward to the stars today. It seems that the night was just in the right mood. At the beginning of the dinner, grandpa Allan gave a few words, welcoming all the guests and introducing his new granddaughter and the newborn. Little Briston was held in Cathryn’s arms, a pink ball of tenderness with his dark eyes shining in the light like obsidian, looking at everyone around and winning love already.
