270: Chapter 270

Chapter 270

Kate smirked when she saw Matt's dazed expression, "Do you suddenly remember about Erin? You must've been wondering where it is now, right?"1

Matt said nothing, but his eyes told Kate everything. 

It was true. He was worried about Erin, but not because he cared about her. 

He was worried because Erin was his only ticket to get free money. She told Matt she would be on a business trip to Canada but never returned. 

Kate smiled. She took a step forward so she could whisper in Matt's ear, "Well, she has been such a problematic sister to me, so I realize that I have to get rid of her to be happy."

Matt's eyes widened. 

He guessed that Kate must've killed her, that's why Erin suddenly vanished into thin air without any news. 

Matt shuddered, thinking that Kate must've targeted him next. 

He could've died anytime soon. Who knew what kind of crafty trap Kate had set for his demise? 

Kate sensed Matt's fear and chuckled lightly, "Oh, don't worry, I didn't kill her. I just make sure that she spends the rest of her life in a living hell, thinking she has a chance to escape someday, only for her hope to be crushed."

"I also have a plan for you, Matthew Woods," Kate said. 

Matt's face paled once more. He didn't know how to react, knowing that Kate had also planned a terrible demise for him. 

"But… I will give you a chance," Kate said. She finally leaned back to separate herself from Matt. She took five 100 dollar bills from her wallet and put them inside Matt's suit pocket. "Here is five hundred dollars. If you want to escape your death, you must go back to our hometown and start living with your Mom. Find a job there, and never return to Los Angeles. Got it?"

Matt wanted to refuse because Los Angeles was his home, and he wanted to spend the rest of his life here. But before he could say anything, Kate already interrupted him. 

"And don't think about staying because I will send an eviction notice to you as soon as possible. You will be forced to leave anyway."

Matt realized he had no way out.

He hated to admit it, but Kate was right.

He should've returned to his hometown and lived with his mother because he didn't have enough money to rent in Los Angeles. 

He stared at Kate with pain in his eyes, "Just wait and see, Kate. You're not the only woman in this world. I will find another woman and have her pregnant with MY child!"

"Oh, good luck with that. I doubt you will ever have your child," Kate chuckled. She unbuttoned her blazer and showed her baby bump in front of Matt.

She took another step back until her back bumped against Henry's warm and strong chest, and Henry naturally wrapped his arms around her belly. 

Matt was astonished.

He shook his head and muttered, "No… there is no way."

"Yep, bummer, right? Turns out I'm not barren at all," Kate said lightly. She raised one hand and caressed Henry's jaw behind her. "I did it once with him, and he got me pregnant instantly."

"B—But you have always been—"

"That's because you refused to go to a fertility check, you idiot," Kate's voice turned cold instantly. "If we go at least once to have our fertility checked, we would've known that I am not the barren one, you are."

Matt felt his already crumbling world finally came crashing down. He stared at Kate's obvious baby bump and realized she wasn't lying.

She was pregnant.

And it wasn't his.

Matt felt that he had been attacked by one bad news after another. He had lost his ten million dollars, apartment, and Erin as his only way to squeeze his cash cow dry.

On top of that, he also got the news that he had a weak swimmer.

It was too much for him to handle that he didn't even want to listen to anything else, knowing that Kate must've had another ammo just to hurt him.

Kate was satisfied with Matt's expression. It was a mix of shock and grief. 

"Well, we don't have anything else to do here. She looked up and caressed Henry's defined jawline again, "Honey, why don't we go and celebrate my newly found freedom somewhere else? I'm sure I'd be better if I didn't have to see this loser's face anymore."

"Sure thing, Love. I've booked fine dining for us. Let's celebrate this with an exquisite wine toast, shall we?"

Kate giggled.

She looked at Graham, who had been standing in silence the whole time, observing everything with a frown. Obviously, he disliked Kate and Henry's interaction and how harmonious they were.

But Kate didn't mind about it.

This might be the last time he would ever meet with Graham anyway, so she smiled at him, "Thank you so much, Graham. I couldn't get the prenup annulled without your help. You can call me if you need my help."

"That last line is unnecessary," Henry interrupted. He glared at Graham, but the lawyer didn't even budge.

He ignored Henry completely and smiled back at Kate, "My pleasure. I will call you in case I have a client in Los Angeles. I'm sure a brunch wouldn't hurt, right?"

"Mhm, I wouldn't mind grabbing brunch with you," Kate said. "With Henry, of course."

Henry scoffed before he grabbed and walked out of the courtroom with Kate. They looked so good together, and it was a thorn in both Graham's and Matt's eyes. 

Matt lowered his head and clenched his fists as he suppressed this overwhelming grief and rage that mixed into one in his heart.

His heart was burning, yet he had no way to avenge this anger, knowing that Kate was invincible as long as she was with Henry.

Graham watched this loser who made a fool of himself during the trial. 

Honestly, he didn't believe Henry had to call him to deal with this idiot.

But that didn't mean this idiot had no use.

"Do you hate to see them together?" Graham asked.
