Chapter 20: A Terrifying Kota

If Catherine found Coster’s plan horrible, then she would find Kota’s ability of knowing everything even more terrifying.

“You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that I have a way to get this information.”

Of course, Kota couldn’t tell Catherine the reason he knew this.

In order to make Catherine believe in him even more, Kota continued.

“Did you think I went to your cocktail party and got your attention for no reason?”

After saying this, Catherine was already 80% convinced by this time.

She had always thought that Kota was just a playboy with a good image, but she did not expect that he had come specifically for her.

“Then why are you telling me all this? What’s your reason for doing this?” Catherine still did not give up.

“There are two reasons.” Kota mimed with his fingers.

Since he wanted to pretend, he had to pretend to the end.

“First, you won’t guess my identity. You can’t imagine it either.”

Catherine definitely thought that Kota’s background wasn’t simple. So he continued to pretend to be mysterious.

“Second, you only need to know that we have a common enemy.”

After speaking, he let things sink in.

He knew he had already said what he needed to say. It was up to Catherine now.

After a long while, Catherine looked at Kota. She now believed Kota that Coster was a traitor.

Because Kota had no reason to lie to her.

Without her saying anything, Kota already knew that Catherine had changed her mind.

Because her desire list had changed.

Name: Catherine

Desire list:

[1. Save the financial crisis of Ying Corporation.]

[2. Immediately return to Ying and expose Coster.]

[If I want to understand the man in front of me, I will have to control myself and must not fall in love with him—although I feel like I am about to lose control.]

[Don’t marry the heir of the Heavenly Punishment. I have to control your own destiny.]

That was all about it. These four items were simple.

Suddenly, Kota thought he had seen wrongly.

What about the pregnant one before this?

Where did it go?

And what about her wish to not fall in love with me?

Catherine did not know that Kota had read her mind.

Although Kota did not allow her to know his identity, a woman’s curiosity was unstoppable.

‘He dared to openly go against Heaven’s Punishment. And he has such a shocking intelligence network. He could even find the traitor, Coster, whose plot even Ying could not discover. This proves that he must have some behemoth background that is much more massive than Heaven’s Punishment. I might not have to marry that man with his help.’

The more Catherine thought about it, the more she felt that this should be the case. When she looked up again, Kota found another quality in her.

If there were a chance to choose, who would choose to perish together?

Right now, apart from her icy beauty persona, there was one additional quality in her.

Kota could not describe that in words for now.

Yes, to live is to die.

If one wanted to live, that person should first be prepared to die.

Kota was not in a hurry to collect his reward for helping her.

Other than Catherine, there were many other people who could let him quickly accumulate points.

No matter what, Kota had nothing to lose.

After a moment, Catherine suddenly thought of something. “Then… do you still want to have me now?”

Kota was speechless.

He did not expect that he had actually changed this woman’s desire list.

But compared to now, it was much easier to have a child with her?

He had the time on his side.

“Sure.” Although Kota did not think so, his body was honest.

Catherine did not expect Kota to say this so honestly.

“Then…”

Catherine bit her lip, her heart pounding.

She kneeled on the bed, and her fair cheeks blushed.

This expression on the icy beauty was alluring indeed.

“Come here.”

She was almost whispering.

Kota walked to the bedside.

After all, she had been long prepared to reward Kota; he could do whatever he wanted.

Now, both of their plans had changed.

He was also curious how Catherine would reward him.

He was standing by the bedside, while she kneeled on the bed.

Catherine’s head was at Kota’s chest level.

“You’re a little too tall.” Catherine looked up at Kota and realized that she didn’t like this angle.

She had never looked at others from this angle since she was young.

“You can also lower your head.” Kota stood by the bed and looked down at the unattainable goddess in other people’s hearts.

Catherine lowered her head and saw Kota’s reaction.

She was embarrassed and angry, looking up and gritting her teeth before she snapped, “You jerk!”

The next moment, Kota grabbed her chin and kissed her on the lips.

“Mmm…”

Catherine resisted. At first, she hit him with her hands. But she slowly lost her strength. After all, that toothbrush’s efficacy had not expired yet. Kota was now the best kisser in the world.

“Mmm…”

After an unknown amount of time, Kota let go of his hands holding Catherine’s cheeks.

Looking at her panting and blushing face, he suddenly had a different feeling about her.

What men liked the most was an icy beauty in the eyes of others but a gentle woman in front of himself.

“You jerk!” Catherine wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

But she could not deny that she felt what might feel like an electrical shock running through her when Kota kissed her.

Her body softened and trembled as if she had been electrocuted.

Kota had only seen such a woman with such a physiological response on the internet and movies.

The body of a person like her must not be touched by a man whom she had a feeling for.

Because once she was touched, she would feel weak at the knees and her body would tremble.

She had a hypertensive body.

Kota tried hard to fight back his urge.

He knew that no matter how much he wanted to, it must not happen in this place.

Just then, the door outside the courtyard creaked.

“Kota, you rascal hasn’t come to Grandma’s place for almost half a month.”

The old lady nagged as she walked into the kitchen. “Grandma will cook for you. Eat some breakfast before you go.”

Grandma Churchill’s return had given Catherine a breathing space to calm herself down.

Kota had stolen her first kiss, but it was also out of Catherine’s free will.

Now, she had no chance to fulfill her promise, but let him get a taste of it first. She would treat it as the interest.

After breakfast, Kota and Grandma Churchill chatted for a while, then pulled Catherine out into the courtyard.
