Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 11 

At three in the afternoon, the internet became abuzz when Natalie posted a statement on her social media.

It contained a thousand words but only wanted to highlight two main points.

Firstly, to clear out the rumor regarding Natalie and Zack's relationship.

They were only good friends, and Natalie had never come between Zack and Katherine during their marriage.

And finally, to inquire about Katherine attending her art exhibit when clearly the latter had already divorced Zack.

An astute person would discern right away what she really wanted to say.

Natalie pretended to clear out the information between her and Zack.

Only to subtly mock Katherine for not getting over her divorce with Zack.

Katherine even brought a friend with her when she attended Natalie's art exhibit.

Alice had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and this statement made her anxious.

She instantly posted new information on social media courtesy of Katherine, of course.

So in less than half an hour, the public's opinion reverted to the other side.

When he learned about this from his assistant, Aidan quickly instructed several of his people to give him all the information regarding the matter before he went to Zack's office.

"What is it?" Zack didn't need to look up to know who came in.

"Mr.Zack.Colburn, will you be releasing a statement to clarify the rumors between you and Natalie?"

"What rumors?" Zack frowned with impatience.

Aidan was not sure whether it was a truth or a rumor.

He did not have enough courage to tell Zack that someone had posted online some intimate photos of him and Natalie together in a room.

Aidan placed the tablet computer in his hand directly in front of Zack.

"This morning, Natalie's art exhibition was broadcasted all over the city.Unfortunately, because Miss Katherine also attended the art exhibit, suffice to say, the matter had become public and there bad rumors circulating.”

Zack wasn't very fond of things posted on the internet, but the photos on the tablet Aidan showed were hard to miss.

He had only glanced at them and understood what it could mean to other people.

It was a photo of him with only his bathrobe on.

Natalie was holding his phone in front of him.

Zack remembered that day.

Natalie had come into his room to thank him.

Although they were only talking, the way the photos were taken showed an intimacy between them.

That day, Zack went on a business trip outside the city.

During the dinner party, he happened to meet Natalie, who was already deep in her cups.

Zack had asked Aidan’'s help to settle Natalie in his room to keep the matter from public knowledge and safeguard the Cooper family.

Along the way, Natalie vomited her gut out that it even splashed Zack.

He grimly asked Aidan to take Natalie instead, and he proceeded to his room to wash up.

Zack had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a bathrobe when Natalie entered his room with only a bathrobe on.

Natalie said she was there to apologize, but Zack didn't want to listen and sent her away.

"Where did this photo come from?" Zack flipped through the posts.

His face gradually turned grim while he read the comments.

Aidan felt a chill run down his spine.

"I'm looking into it."

"Why are there so many posts mentioning me all of a sudden?"

It wasn't just his name mentioned, but the posts also included some nasty comments about him.

Aidan wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"We found clues of Silverlight Entertainment's involvement in the matter.They were allegedly the ones who sent the information to the media"

"Bang!"

Zack suddenly slammed the tablet on the table.His dark eyes were glaring.

"Get in touch with Silverlight Entertainment and tell the person in charge to withdraw whatever the hell this is!"

"Yes...Understood, Sir.I'll contact them immediately!"

Aidan hurriedly went out and moved to contact the person in charge from Silverlight Entertainment.

He did not know what Zack saw that made him burst out in anger.

But Aidan couldn't forget Zack's expression at the time.

He looked like a man who could swallow a person whole! Just thinking about it made Aidan tremble in fear.

Back in the office, Zack's face turned strangely calm.

He seemed to have thought of something and reached out to the phone and dialed Aidan's direct line, "You don't need to get in touch with Silverlight Entertainment!"

With that, Zack hung up the phone.

He took out his phone and walked towards the French window as he dialed a number that he had not called even once in the last three years.

Katherine knew Zack's number by heart.

Even without the caller's name, Katherine could tell at a glance that the person calling her was Zack.

Katherine only watched as the phone rang on its own.

She had no intention of answering the call.

Alice, who sat opposite her, felt that something was wrong.

She watched as Katherine leisurely ate grapes while the latter's phone was ringing non-stop.

She asked cautiously, "A call from Zack?"

"Yes." Katherine spat out the seed of the grape.

"You're not going to answer?"

Zack was still patiently waiting for Katherine to answer the call.

Katherine gave Alice a searching look.

"Are you scared?"

How could Alice admit it?

"No way! I just thought that he actually has the guts to call you.It's a good opportunity! I can give him a piece of my mind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Katherine pressed the answer button and handed her the phone.

"Here, tell him then’ Alice looked at Katherine imploringly.

All her false bravado gone, "Katherine, don't be like this."

Katherine only smiled.

She stopped teasing Katherine and raised the phone to her ear.

She asked, "Is there something wrong, Mr.Colburn?"

Zack couldn't immediately answer the question.It had been a while since he had heard Katherine's voice.

Soft, gentle, and melodic.It made him feel nostalgic.

"You sent the photo?"

Zack asked after clearing his throat.

"I guess so.’ Katherine did not deny it.

"You hired someone to follow me?" Katherine felt aghast.

She couldn't believe how easy Zack would accuse her.

Katherine sneered, "You think too highly of yourself, Zack."

Katherine didn't wait for Zack's response and hung up the phone.Alice was watching the whole time and applauded, "Bravo!"

"Alright, go back and find Luke.And Alice, don't do this kind of thing in the future.It's not worth it."

Katherine said with a severe tone.

Whenever Katherine thought it through, although she would hurt Zack, she would also hurt herself.

It would all be meaningless in the end.Alice saw the change in Katherine's expression and felt a little guilty.

"What did Zack say?"

"He asked me if I hired someone to follow him"

"How dare he say that!"

"It's partly my fault why he became suspicious of me- In the past, Katherine had done everything she could for him.Now that they were divorced, he thought that she was as easy to bully as before.But Katherine had proved him wrong.Alice panicked a little when she saw tears in Katherine's eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry.Come here, and I'll hug you!" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Katherine was both sad and angry but laughed at Alice's antics.

"Hurry up and get lost.If there are no delays, I'm sure Zack's secretary has probably set down people to terrorize Silverlight Entertainment- Alice was just about to say something when the phone rang.She glanced at the caller ID and saw her agent's name.

She had to answer the phone.

"Helen, what's wrong?"

"Zack's secretary came looking for you.He demanded to see you.Hurry up and come back to the company.Otherwise, he threatens to see us in court.’ I'll be there as fast as I can!"

Alice glanced at Katherine, who predicted it.

"I'm afraid you're right, Katherine! Your ex-husband's henchman brought people to the company.I have to go back."

Katherine waved her hand to say goodbye, then thought about it.

She was still worried about Alice.

"If Aidan threatens you, tell him that Natalie sent the photos to me.” Alice couldn't quite understand but listened anyway.

"Oh...okay.Oh, I know! I'll go back first and deal with Zack's lackeys.Don't you go crying while I'm away!"

Since Katherine didn't bother to pay her any attention, Alice left.
