Chapter 10 My Prince Charming

“Kathleen, what were you thinking? Why did you bring that escort here?” After steadying herself, Vanessa gripped Kathleen’s arm, questioning her through gritted teeth.

“Let go.” Kathleen rolled her eyes and shook Vanessa’s hand off. “Come on, Vanny. Think about it. Evercrest Vi is packed with guards, and the Powell family is the wealthiest in Brookford. None of my friends dared to help at all. But you couldn’t wait to get out, right? I thought of him and asked him whether he’d help. Who knew? He actually said yes and even promised to get you out. So, I figured, why not? And see? Here you are, safe with me, huh?”

Vanessa shook her head in frustration.

After all, she had reached out to Kathleen for help in the first ce. She shouldn’tin.

But a wave of uneasiness washed over her as memories of that night shed unbidden through her mind.

“Chill, Vanny. Everything’s fine. Let’s have some coffee to calm down.” With a smile, Kathleen pulled her to sit at a table and ordered two coffees. Then she leaned closer and said, lowering her voice mysteriously, “Vanny, I’ve got

great news.”

“What is it?” Vanessa was curious.

Kathleen’s eyes were lit up by excitement. “My friends in Haverfield told me Evander-my Prince Charming-is here in Brookford!”

Sheughed unscrupulously while pping her thighs, almost drooling.

Vanessa felt momentarily speechless.

Deted, she slumped.

Evander again?

What kind of good news was that? She wasn’t the slightest interested in him.

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Kathleen.

“So?” she asked, totally indifferent.

“So, I now have a chance to hit on him!” Kathleen grinned, revealing all her white teeth.

Exhaling, Vanessa rolled her eyes again. “Have you even met him?”

“Nope.”

“Do you have his number? Or is there someone who could introduce you?”

“Nope, and nope.”

“Then… how are you gonna hit on him? In your dreams?” Vanessa had to try her best not to strangle Kathleen.

“Calm down, Vanny. I’ve got his photos and know where he lives. I can see him whenever I want. With my charm, he’ll fall for me right away. Besides, he’s so mysterious-none of Haverfield’s socialites have ever seen him. That gives me the upper hand. By the time they react, he’ll be mine already. They won’t even stand a chance! Yay!” Kath- leen shed a victory sign, her face radiant with triumph.

Vanessa shook her head.

Kathleen was quite confident-a bit too confident, actually.

From the conversation between Nathan and yton tonight, Evander was a formidable figure. Even if Kathleen man- aged to hit on him, did she really have what it took to keep him?

“Well? Isn’t that great news or what?” Kathleen leaned closer to her with a mischievous grin.

Without even ncing at Kathleen, she yawned and saidzily, “Just finish your coffee. I gotta go home and get some sleep. I’ve got several surgeries tomorrow.”

Kathleen snorted, pouting, “You’re no fun.”

Just then, her phone in the bag rang.

At the sight of the caller ID, she frowned. It was actually the hospital director, Marcus Barron.

At this time of night, it must be something urgent.

She answered immediately.
