Chapter 304: A-list Celebrity Is Her Friend

Compared to Kate, Eddie felt even more embarrassed and didn't know where to look.

For the first time, his calm face had a tinge of red, and even his neck blushed slightly, while his ears perked up.

He had never bought such a thing before.

While working at the hospital during the day, he somehow thought of Kate and went to the pharmacy, asking his colleague to get him a box of emergency contraceptive pills.

Eddie had never been in a relationship, so when he bought emergency contraception at the pharmacy, some of the young nurses felt rather disappointed.

They wondered what woman had such charm to hook up with Eddie, who appeared gentle and easygoing but was actually extremely guarded and aloof.

As fate would have it, Mr. Owen happened to come out of theoperating room on the left side of the first-floor lobby. He glanced at what Eddie was holding and smiled brightly, much like a sunflower in the sun. He patted Eddie's shoulder and advised him with a profound tone, "Eddie, you're a man."

"Yes."

"You're twenty-seven years old."

"Well, that's my nominal age... I'm actually twenty-five."

Mr. Owen's gaze fell on what Eddie was holding, and Eddie was left speechless, gaping and attempting to explain. "Mr. Owen, let me explain. This isn't for me; it's..."

He stopped mid-sentence, his flustered expression leading Mr. Owen to wear a "I understand" expression. "I know it's not for you. This is for women. But let me give you a piece of advice. You're not young anymore. If you meet someone right and sleep with her, remember to take responsibility."

"No, I didn't do anything..."

"No need to explain. Morning-after-pill has side effects. If you don't want children, remember to take precautions. I speak from experience."

With that, Mr. Owen had other matters to attend to. He smiled meaningfully at Eddie before turning away and leaving with a group of other doctors.

Eddie was left speechless. That phrase, "I speak from experience," sounded strangely familiar.

Two days later, the weather was bright and sunny. Kate's mood had improved after resting at home for two days. When Cheyenne came to visit, Kate was wearing a retro-style, bright red, floor-length dress. The dress had a tight, cinched waist that accentuated her perfect figure, and a high slit that revealed a white lace underskirt, which swayed like water ripples as she walked.

Naturally, Kate had a doll-like face, and this outfit made her look even more beautiful than Nora, the school belle.

Graeme messaged her on Line, telling her that the court hearing was today. The lawyer they had hired was Zechariah, who had been deeply involved in criminal cases in the country for over a decade. After a brief discussion, the attorney confidently assured them of winning the case.

Kate and Cheyenne finally arrived at the scene. A sleek black Lamborghini adorned with gold trimmings, even the wheels had intricate gold carvings; it exuded opulence from head to toe.

Reece was the first to exit the car. He wore a flashy metallic pink suit that remarkably suited him. His charm was undeniable, and the bold color of the suit, paired with his recently dyed silver hair, immediately made him the center of attention.

On the other side of the car, a young man in a white suit alighted. His suit, a Giorgio Armani handmade custom, was worth well into the six digits. Not to mention the blue gemstone embedded in the bowtie, which was worth a considerable amount.

The man, with seductive and dashing lips, closed the car door and, along with Reece, walked toward the front of the vehicle.

As they approached, the car's gull-wing doors opened. On the left, Kate was dressed in a red, knee-length dress with a frilly hem that revealed her incredibly long, creamy legs. As she walked, the lace on the back of her dress swayed with the wind.

She had a cute and animated face like a doll, and her short, curly hair framed her features beautifully, accentuating her tall and well-proportioned figure.

On the right, Cheyenne, though slightly shorter, exuded a model-like aura as she emerged, despite her apathetic expression. Her poise, in stark contrast to her strikingly pretty face, was akin to that of a highland flower, making it impossible to disrespect her.

Graeme and Peyton had been waiting at the entrance for a while. Peyton, especially, couldn't help but glance at the entrance every thirty seconds. She was eager to witness Kate and Cheyenne being humiliated, to exact revenge for the slap she received in public that day.

On the other hand, she also wished they wouldn't show up. If they didn't, it would indicate that they felt guilty, and the case would be won without needing the services of Attorney Zechariah, thereby avoiding paying him.

When Graeme saw Kate, there was a clear flicker of amazement in his eyes. He had never seen her in such a flattering light. She usually wore loose school uniforms, and he had no idea that Kate had a body to rival that of a model.

However, it was unfortunate that she was accompanied by another man. The young man in the pink suit seemed oddly familiar to Peyton. She racked her brain and finally remembered where she had seen him.

Yes, it was on the bus stop signs and various skincare product advertisements.

Wait... wasn't this man the popular top idol, Reece?

Many of Peyton's friends adored his music and followed the TV shows he starred in. Peyton primarily liked Graeme, but that didn't mean she didn't know who Reece was. After all, he was a high-profile A-list celebrity.

So, did Kate and Reece know each other?

Seeing the two holding hands intimately, could it be that he was her new boyfriend?

No, that couldn't be. The Gray family was so wealthy; how could they possibly consider a girl who had lost both parents as a suitable match for Reece?

"Kate, you certainly have some talent. It's only been a few days, and you've found a new love?" Peyton's sarcastic voice rang out, causing Graeme's face to darken.

Peyton locked eyes with Reece, who, at the moment, was looking at her.

"New love? Are you suggesting that your cousin is Kate's ex? Tsk tsk, it looks like I need to buy some fish roe to help Kate see better. She's really scraping the bottom of the barrel."

Graeme furrowed his brows and stared back. Silent tension filled the air between the two men.
