Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 57

"Ms. Gage, why do you call me here?" Kaliyah asked in a gentle voice, behaving gently and appropriately.

"I just want to have a drink with you." Serina approached Kaliyah with the red wine glass in her hand. Serina slightly turned her foot, and the whole glass of red wine fell on Kaliyah, ruining Kaliyah's expensive dress.

Kaliyah suppressed the anger in her heart, but her face was still livid.

Serina immediately exclaimed, "Ms. Packer, you are really careless. You know I want to have a drink with you, yet you stay so close to me. People would think I was doing that deliberately."

"It's alright, Ms. Gage. I failed to dodge." Kaliyah looked embarrassed

There were already many people looking over, just like when Serina's dress was dirtied just now.

Serina pretended to be understanding and said, "Ms. Packer, you really are as unlucky as me. My dress was also dirtied by the wine just now. Fortunately, I kept a few dresses here. How about I bring you to change?"

Before Kaliyah could reply, Kaitlin had already stood up and answered for her, "Alright. Kaliyah, just go change with Ms. Gage."

In Kaitlin's opinion, as long as she could associate with one member of the Gage family, she would be one step closer to Manuel.

Kaliyah naturally did not know what Katlin was planning. Her dress was dyed into a strange color by the wine. Indeed, she couldn't wear it any longer. She nodded slightly toward Serina. "Ms. Gage, thank you then."

With that, Kaliyah followed Serina upstairs.

As soon as they entered the room, Serina spread out all the dresses she had brought on the bed. "Choose any one of them."

Kaliyah was a little jealous as she looked at all the dresses on the bed. She knew that it wasn't easy to get the high-end custom-made dresses of every famous brand. Money alone wasn't enough.

Those high-end series of famous brands were picky about customers. They wouldn't easily sell the clothes in case the reputation of

their brands would be ruined.

Kaliyah had long wanted dresses of some brands, yet she was not qualified to buy them.

She randomly picked up a dress and entered the fitting room.

As soon as she entered, Serina immediately went downstairs.

Kaitlin felt bored since Kaliyah and Serina went upstairs, so she went to Lindsay. Lindsay was complaining to other ladies.

"She is shameless. How dare she come to the banquet held by the Gage family? Isn't she afraid of meeting us?"

The other ladies asked, "Ainsley looks quite decent. She doesn't look like the kind of person you're talking about.”

Lindsay immediately said excitedly, "She's pretending. It is fake!"

Lindsay turned around and saw Kaitlin standing behind her. "Katlin, where is Kaliyah?"

"Kaliyah went to the bathroom," Kaitlin said in a gentle voice.

In front of so many people in the upper-class society, she couldn't say that Serina accidentally wet Kaliyah's dress. Instead, Katlin had to cover up for them.

Kaitlin was just about to say something to discredit Ainsley when Serina appeared again.

Kaitlin looked behind her and asked in confusion, "Where is Kaliyah?"

Serina said grumpily, "Kaliyah is still changing clothes. I'm here to tell you that my brother wants to see you. He is in the room on the far left of the second floor. You should go quickly."

"Mr. Gage wants to see me?" Kaitlin's face lit up. She suddenly recalled that she set Ainsley up just now. She looked at Serina warily,

"Why does Mr. Gage want to see me?"

"How would I know why? In any case, I only saw him holding a necklace. He spent several dozen million dollars on that necklace. I asked him for it many times, yet he always refused me. He asked me not to tell others. Or why should I waste so much time letting Kaliyah leave?

"If you don't want to go, that's good! The necklace is mine!" Serina glared at Kaitlin.

Kaitlin was excited and immediately stopped Serina, "Serina, since Mr. Gage asked you to call me over, I have to go over."

As Katlin spoke, she walked toward the stairs. Her mind was filled with the necklace that Serina had mentioned. Could it be that Manuel was going to give this necklace to her?

When she heard Serina say that the necklace was worth several dozen million dollars, she got excited. Manuel must finally replace out

that she was better than Ainsley.

Her heart pounded. When she thought that Manuel wanted to see her alone, she was extremely excited. She walked to the leftmost room. When she knocked on the door, her face was flushed. The door opened right after she knocked on it. Katlin walked in. The room was dark and there was no light on.

"Mr. Gage?" She called out tentatively.

There was no response. The darkness made her a little afraid.

"Bang!" After the violent sound of the door closing, she fell into the real darkness.

"Mr. Gage! Are you not here?" Her voice was trembling. Her hands leaned against the wall, groping for the switch of the light, but she

only touched the cold and hard wall.

At this moment, the light lit up.

It was only then that she discovered that apart from her, there was another man in the room. And she knew the man. Kaitlin's expression changed and she suddenly ran toward the door.

"Kaitlin, stop right there!" The man's voice was filled with anger. He stopped Kaitlin from going out and said, "Don't run. You lied to me! You told me that Ainsley is a ***and asked me to keep her as my mistress. Now, because of you, I lost the opportunity to

cooperate with the Gage family. And Manuel said I would no longer be welcome in Seattle. It's all your fault."

"I didn't lie!" Kaitlin's face was pale, and she screamed, "She is a divorced woman. I just don't know why Mr. Gage is always protecting her. Moreover, you want to do that yourself! What does it have to do with me?"

The man crazily roared, "If not for you, would I have noticed her? If not for you saying that the Baldry family would cooperate with me, would I have gone to stop her? Moreover, all of this was planned by you!"

"You! Don't spout nonsense! I don't know what you are saying!" Kaitlin's expression was gloomy. She pushed the man away, but she was once again caught by the man.

She looked at the man who had gone crazy in fear, "Let go of me! I am a member of the Baldry family! This is the Gage family's banquet. Don't act recklessly! I warn you!"

"It was your fault! If not for you, I would not have lost everything!" The man's eyes were scarlet and scary.

Kaitlin was so frightened that her entire body trembled. She used all her strength to smash her bag over. "Get lost! Get lost! What if I asked you to harass her? You have offended the Gage family. Do you still want to offend the Baldry family?"

She threw her bag out, and the man did not react in time. Taking advantage of this moment, Kaitlin rushed toward the door handle.

"Why are you running?" Roman's sharp voice sounded from Kaitlin's side, blocking her path.

Kaitlin's body was trembling. Her hand, which was on the door handle, was shaking. "Who are you?"

Two people walked over from the other side of the room and took the man away.

Kaitlin's pupils contracted when she saw Ainsley and Manuel walking over to her.

"Ainsley! Mr. Gage!" She cried out in alarm, "Mr. Gage, it's not like this. I can explain.*

Seeing the cold expression on Manuel's face, Kaitlin immediately understood everything. Pointing at Ainsley, she cursed, "It was you!

***! How dare you set me up? You are so vicious!"

Ainsley's eyes were cold and piercing as she stared at Kaitlin. Her tone was also cold.
