Chapter 267
Katherine’s idea was very simple. Julian was going to get a divorce. In order to get rid of that woman as soon as possible, he was in a hurry to sell his place. He definitely needed money urgently now.
She knew that Julian would definitely not accept her help directly. Hence, she turned on her phone and searched for Aiden Fruit Shop before placing a lot of orders.
In the end, after buying almost every kind of fruit in the shop, she ended up with an order of about one thousand dollars. She felt that such support should not be of much help to Julian.
Just as she was hesitating if she should buy more, not long after, a few large baskets. of fruits were sent in from the Santos residence. Katherine looked at the fruits that she could not finish for a month and fell silent for a moment.
It seemed like she couldn’t buy any more. Otherwise, it would be too wasteful. Besides, the Santos family only had a few people in total. They wouldn’t be able to finish the fruits before they rotted.
In the end, it was the Santos family’s butler who was curious. “These fruits look pretty good. Miss Katherin, are you buying so many as a gift?”
Katherine’s eyes lit up. “Jamie, you’re so smart!”
She knew what to do. She could give all the fruits away.
However, Katherine had been studying overseas for the past several years. She did not have many friends in Kranson City. Her best friend was Valerie. If she gave the fruits to Valerie, this matter would have been exposed sooner or later. She wondered who else to give the fruits to.
Katherine quickly thought of someone. Coincidentally, there was still time. She drove straight to the Santos Group with two baskets of fruits. When she arrived at the company, Louis was in a meeting. “Profits of the winter have fallen. You told me that you would catch up in the future, but now, you failed! Why do these projects still have deviations? You made the most basic mistakes. What are you doing…”
Through the glass, Katherine saw her brother’s dark expression. The employees below all lowered their heads and were scolded badly.

When Louis was done scolding, Katherine knocked on the glass door lightly. Louis was displeased. When he saw her, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. “Katherine, why are you here?”
Then, he glanced at everyone. “This is the conference room. If there’s anything, wait for me in my office.”
However, Katherine did not leave. “Louis, of course, I am here to give you fruits!”
After saying that, she clapped her hands. The receptionist and the others, who had long been bribed by her, entered one after another. All of them were holding fruits in their hands. In an instant, the cold conference room was filled with all kinds of
fruits.
Katherine smiled and said, “Guys, my brother specially asked me to buy these for everyone. I hope that everyone will not be discouraged. Let’s continue to work hard in the coming days. The Santos Group will definitely thrive.”
She brought out the name of Louis, and the people who were scolded were all shocked. Then, they became excited. “Mr. Santos, don’t worry. We’ll fix the mistake in time!”
A person said, “Thank you, Mr. Santos, for your concern!”
They didn’t expect Louis to buy them gifts after scolding them for their mistakes. They felt that Louis was the best boss ever
The atmosphere in the meeting room was no longer as stuffy as before. Everyone’s fighting spirit was ignited.
Louis was at a loss for words. In the end, he waved his hand and said, “Alright, the meeting is adjourned!”
Then, he looked at Katherine angrily. “You, follow me.”
Katherine followed him to the CEO’s office on the top floor. Katherine was extremely attentive and placed the fruits in front of Louis. “Louis, don’t be angry. It’s a hot day. Eat some fruit. Don’t be angry and smile more. That’s better.”
It was rare for Katherine to look like this. Louis was both angry and amused. “What are you up to today?”
He had known this girl for 22 years. Ever since this girl was born, he knew her like the back of his hand. He knew that she was definitely up to something.
“Louis!” Katherine stomped her feet. “How can you look at me like that? Of course, I’m here to see you. Besides, you’ve already given me pocket money last time. I have enough. I really just missed you today
After saying that, she took a piece of cantaloupe and stuffed it into Louis’s mouth. “Louis, try it. You don’t like to drink water. It’s good to eat more fruits.”
For a moment, Louis even wondered if the cantaloupe slices were poisonous. After all, Katherine was too abnormal today. Only when the taste in his mouth was normal did he feel relieved. Then, he commented lightly, “It’s quite sweet and full of water. You have grown up. You actually know how to pick the good fruits.”
Katherine fell silent. She felt that this was cursing instead of a compliment.
Katherine had a motive for coming today. She did not want to be angry with him. She suppressed her emotions, picked a grape, and handed it over. “Lous, try this again. There are all kinds of things.”
Louis could not help but ask, “Katherine, what’s going on? Stop pretending. Lindsey called me just now and told me that the house was full of fruits. You even- changed her algae pearl mask to strawberry mask. What are you planning?”
Unexpectedly, Lindsey had already revealed her secret. Katherine had no other choice but to answer obediently. “Lous, these fruits are delicious, right? Guess which shop this is from?”
Louis said, “Katherine, let me remind you one last time. Your brother has an international meeting later. You only have three minutes.”
Katherine said, “Alright. This is a fruit shop opened by Julian. The quality is guaranteed, and the price is fair. I tried it a few times and felt that it was not bad, so I brought over for you.”

Louis frowned. He was so busy that he could not remember such a person at once. It was only when Katherine said that he was Valerie’s big brother that he realized.
“It’s him.” Louis finally matched this name with the person in his mind. His impression of Julian also became clearer. He remembered that Julian saved Katherine last time. If he had not risked his life, something might have really happened to Katherine. After that, Julian did not ask for anything in return. He did good deeds without wanting for something in return. Louis felt that Valerie and Julian were bound to be siblings.

However, they did not look alike. Valerie was pretty and slender, and Louis had met countless female celebrities in the entertainment industry. The entertainment company under him had also signed many big internet celebrities. Valerie’s looks were not inferior to theirs. Her temperament was even more unique than theirs.
Even though she had only used a silhouette that could not be seen clearly in the
previous promo video, it had actually received a lot of likes. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
In comparison, although Julian could not be considered ugly, he was just an ordinary–looking man with a medium build. He looked honest and friendly.
“Don’t tell me… you can’t!” Louis’s face immediately darkened. “That man is already 30 years old. Moreover, he’s married and has a child. Even if he saves your life. I’m telling you, you can’t have
any thoughts about him. You have to keep a distance from him!”
