Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 226 An Uneasy Feeling 

“Hey, what’s going on here?” 

A sharp, cold voice suddenly cut through the air. 

Eric quickly moved in, wrapping Kate in his arms and putting some space between her and Abigail. He shot a frosty look at Abigail, his eyes broadcasting a clear message of hostility. 

Abigail just flashed a small smile. “No worries, Mr. Erie. Just chatting with Ms. Lowe here.” 

Even under Eric’s intense gaze, Abigail stayed calm, seemingly untouched by the chill in his starc. 

Eric scanned her closely, his voice carrying a hint of caution. “You’d better be careful.” 

He then led Kate to a seat, blatantly ignoring Abigail. 

Abigail just casually smiled, turned around, and walked away, a momentary chill flashing in her eyes as she left. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

There’s something odd about Abigail.” 

Kate’s brow wrinkled as she watched Abigail disappear into the crowd, the interaction leaving her feeling a bit off. 

Eric’s eyes fixed on the person who had now merged with the crowd, casually chatting with people around him. He knitted his brows, took out his phone, and sent a quick message. ‘Investigate Abigail, the CEO at Alpha Corporation. 

He had a nagging suspicion about Abigail. Something didn’t sit right. 

And underlying it all was an uneasy feeling he couldn’t quite name. 

Before long, details on Abigail’s background and achievements came through. 

Kate leaned over to look at the information with Eric. 

Everything seemed standard. Abigail said she was the daughter of Alpha Corporation’s previous CEO and had undergone major plastic surgery, which changed her look entirely from when she was 

younger. 

After her dad died, she took over the company. She had some wins in the International Design Competition and was known to be pretty skilled. 

However, a car accident had left her with a hand injury, making it impossible to do precision designs. 

Because of this, Alpha Corporation has dropped off the radar in the last few years, making its recent comeback a surprise. 

After sifting through Abigail’s details, Kate rubbed her temples, feeling a headache, and whispered. “Abigail reached out about working together.” 

She shared Abigail’s pitch with Eric, every word bringing a more serious look to his face. 

“Ric, what do you think we should do?” 

Kate naturally looked to Eric to see what to do next. 

Eric looked back at her, his voice gentler. “Kate, whatever you decide, I’m here for you.” 

Kate felt moved by Eric’s words, tears welling in her eyes. 

She leaned into Eric, murmuring. “Thanks, Ric.” 

Eric gently stroked her hair, about to respond, when a sharp scream cut through the banquet hall. “Ah!” 

The scream caught the attention of several guests, and in a corner, a young man with a stoic look was holding onto a woman’s wrist tightly. His icy blue eyes and blond hair gave off a chilling vibe. 

The woman tried to pull away, yelling, “Let go of me! What do you think you’re doing!” 

Katé glanced over and immediately realised who the woman being seized was–it was her old friend, Lana! 

The young man holding her wrist looked foreign, with blonde hair and blue eyes. His handsome face. remained calm as he listened to Lana’s loud cries. With a quick flick, he unbalanced her, sending her sprawling onto the floor. 

Her wrist was bruised, and she looked up at him fearfully, her voice shaking. “Haven’t you heard of the Emperor Hotel’s rules? Making a scene here will have you thrown out!”
