Chapter 5 Inexplicably Became a Rival in Love

"Claire, she is just a maid. You are a lady. Why are you angry with her?" Shelly tried to persuade Claire. It was hard to hide the quality of a rich lady in her words, because in her eyes, such a small role as Kathryn didn't deserve Claire's anger at all.

"Shelly, mind your own business!" Claire didn't care about that. She crossed her arms over her chest and raised her eyebrows. "Kathryn. Change the ice coffee for me. Hurry up!"

Kathryn frowned. She didn't like this proud lady, but she was at a disadvantage. So she changed ice coffee for Claire.

Aaron took the opportunity to get close to Kathryn and looked at her with a charming smile. "My sister has a bad temper. Don't mind."

Kathryn glanced at Aaron and didn't respond. The strong coffee was mixed with small ice blocks, added with small nails, cream and sugar, and a cup of ice coffee with cool summer flavor of Phuket Island and illusory fragrance was finished.

Kathryn put the cup of coffee in front of Claire and said, "Your ice coffee." Then she turned around and left.

"Why is it so cold?" Claire pushed the tray and said, "I want to drink. Pour me some wine."

Kathryn had been extremely patient. She looked at Patrick beside her.

"Claire, don't argue with such a person. Let's play darts." Holding Claire's hand, Shelly pulled her aside and said to the other three, "Aaron, Nathan and Patrick, let's play together."

"Enjoy yourselves. I'm not interested in it." The man who looked like Sitri finally spoke.

Patrick waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to play either.

"Look at you, Nathan, young man. Why do you always look so old? You took your cousin with you. " Shelly said angrily, pinching her slim waist with both hands.

Kathryn looked at Nathan and knew that he was the cousin of Patrick.

Nathan was twenty-seven years old this year. He was the eldest son of Gerry, Patrick's second uncle, He was also the executive vice president of the Ye Group. Usually, when Patrick was not in the company, he could exercise Patrick's power and responsibility on behalf of him.

"Forget it. Let's play if they don't play!" Shelly took out the darts from a drawer. It seemed that she had played here before.

"I bet five thousand on five bodyguards. I bet that Claire won't win today!" Shelly grinned at Claire.

Although it was a joke, Claire still looked a little angry. "Don't think that I always lose to you. I have been practicing with my brother recently!"

"Okay, I'll wait and see!" Shelly said with a bright smile. Obviously, she was teasing Claire on purpose.

Claire picked up five darts, holding the blade with her slender and fair fingers. The crystal lamp shone on the body of the dart, shining with beautiful radiance. But even so, it was difficult to cover the chilly air emitted by the darts which were ten centimeters long.

The dart flew out and accurately inserted into the red heart of the target.

"Wow! Claire, you've really made rapid progress! " Shelly clapped her hands and cheered. Claire picked up her hair and smiled. At the same time, she looked at Kathryn's face.

Kathryn was stunned for a while. She sighed that Claire was skilled, but somehow she felt that her smile was a little insidious?

Before Kathryn could think more, a dart seemed to fly past her ear with the wind and inserted into another target behind her.

What happened just now was too sudden, and cold sweat began to seep from Kathryn's back. If the dart thrown by Claire was a little more wrong, it would definitely stab into Kathryn's throat.

Was this a threat? Was it a threat?

Kathryn kept asking herself in her heart. Claire was full of jealousy at the first sight of her.

"Claire, it's too dangerous for you to play like this. What if you accidentally hit the wrong target and hurt someone?" Shelly was also frightened by what had just happened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Claire looked at Shelly unhappily. "It was you who suggested to play darts. What's wrong with me?" As Claire said so, she threw the dart casually towards Kathryn.

Seeing the darts flying over, Kathryn was so frightened that her legs were so weak that she couldn't move. She covered her eyes with both hands and squatted on the ground. The sound of metal collision came to her ears, and the darts fell one meter away in front of her.

Everything happened too fast. Kathryn slowly moved her hands away and opened her eyes. What collided with the darts were two small metal ornaments.

"Claire, don't go too far." Aaron stopped joking and his tone was full of blame.

"It's just a maid. Why do you care so much?" Claire was so angry that she threw away the rest darts and walked out of the door in high heels. The arrogant posture of a rich lady could be seen clearly.

Kathryn looked at the two little metal ornaments on the ground. She could tell from their positions that they were shot by Patrick and Aaron to hit the darts at the same time. Anyway, today's party ended with Claire leaving unhappily.

After all the guests left, Patrick picked up Kathryn from the ground and walked steadily.

"Let me go! You don't have to pretend to be kind! " Kathryn came to her senses and stubbornly pushed Patrick away. "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Congratulations! You have achieved your goal! Let go of me! "

As soon as Patrick loosened his grip, Kathryn fell to the ground heavily. Enduring the pain, she propped up her body and looked up at Patrick. His eyes were as cold as the pool of cold night, without any warmth.

"You can think whatever you want." Patrick walked out of the reception room and left her alone.

Kathryn knew that no matter what Patrick did to her, he did it to avenge Molly.

"Molly Li... Shelly Li? " Kathryn's heart skipped a beat. "They have the same last name, and Shelly is so close to Patrick... Does she have anything to do with Molly? "

A few days later, in the evening, a crescent moon hung in the air, and the ethereal clouds slowly floated past the faint yellow moonlight.

Dressed in a dazzling evening dress, Kathryn was extremely uncomfortable and followed Patrick nervously. She didn't know what was wrong with Patrick. Why did he take her to this upscale club tonight?

The landmark building was one hundred and fifty meters high, and the buildings below eight floors were divided into medium and small restaurants with different styles, as well as commercial meeting rooms, including leisure, entertainment, bath and other projects.

Noticing that there were reporters here, which might be the kind of paparazzi who liked to gossip about famous stars, Kathryn couldn't help asking Patrick, "Aren't you afraid of being exposed by the news when you take me here? Then I'll be famous with you."

With a faint smile on his face, Patrick looked at Kathryn and said, "Do you think I still care about being exposed since I've brought you here?"

"No wonder Molly quarreled with you." Kathryn looked away. From what she had known these days, she had known that Molly had rushed to the intersection on impulse because she had a quarrel with Patrick.

Kathryn's words made Patrick frown slightly, but he said nothing and walked into the elevator with his hand holding hers.

Looking at the number of all the way, Kathryn's heart began to beat wildly. She asked in a trembling voice, "Where are you taking me to?"

"The biggest game area in the city." As soon as Patrick finished speaking, the elevator stopped at the underground six floor.

They walked out of the elevator, turned around the screen, and Kathryn seemed to enter another world - the heaven of gamblers.

The women in the gambling area are enchanting, and their seductive attitude arouses the difference in men's hearts. People who are big spenders spend a lot of money, and as a result, some are happy and some are sad.

Walking among this group of people, Kathryn felt that she was a different person in their eyes. Those burning eyes made her feel as if she was stabbed in the back.

"Beauty, I'm so happy to see you!" The evil voice came into Kathryn's ears, and she was held into a man's arms.

Kathryn's heart tightened. She would never forget this voice, "Aaron, let go of me!"

Aaron was pushed away by Kathryn. With a smile on his handsome face, he took the opportunity to touch Kathryn's face.

"You..." When Kathryn was about to lose her temper, she heard someone call Patrick from the other side.

"Patrick, this way!" The man who greeted Patrick was short and fat, surrounded by several coquettish women.

As soon as Patrick and Kathryn walked over there, Aaron also followed them. Kathryn turned around and glared at him. "Why are you following me?"

"Let's watch the show for free." Aaron said with an evil smile.

The fat man came over with a smile. "Patrick, I thought you would break the appointment today." As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at Kathryn. His eyes, which were like hunting food, made Kathryn's heart tremble. She could not help but hide behind Patrick.

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Patrick said, "Mr. Andy, you want to gamble with me. How can I refuse you?"

The fat man's name was Andy. He had business dealings with Patrick, but sometimes he would become his opponent.

Andy touched his head and laughed, "If you were not interested in the project, you wouldn't have come here for my sake, would you?"

"Mr. Andy, you are wrong. We need to talk about business. We can continue the game." After saying that, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepened.

Mr. Andy pulled an exceedingly fascinating woman beside him and pushed her in front of Patrick. "How about the old rules?"

"As long as you have a good time, I will accompany you to the end." Patrick pulled out Kathryn behind him and pushed her to the high platform beside the table. "Go upstairs."

At this moment, Kathryn finally understood what the "old rules" meant. It turned out that they were betting on her and that woman.

"Mr. Patrick..." Kathryn couldn't stand what Patrick did to her, but she had no way back.

"Patrick, there is no lack of women. Do you have to use her?" Aaron didn't know if he was kind enough and began to speak for Kathryn.
