Chapter 750
Chapter 750
Kareem Mcguire smiled, "Katie, you know we all rely on our sister-in-law. Uncle Raiden also said not to
make her angry. Hurry up and listen."
Katie bit her lip and swallowed all the embarrassment and shame in her heart. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I
shouldn't have said those things earlier."
Upon hearing her apology, Carolyn's stern expression softened slightly. "You shouldn't apologize to me; Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
you should apologize to Jasper."
Katie felt a little overwhelmed - the lady of the mighty Mcguire Group was apologizing again and again
to the Howlett siblings?
They were really trying to make her look bad!
But given the current situation, she had no choice but to apologize again, "I'm sorry."
Jasper snorted; he could tell that Carolyn held a high position in the Mcguire family from their usual
interactions with each other. He felt relieved.
"Sis, you guys go ahead and eat; see you tomorrow," Jasper said as he glanced at the young man who
must be Kareem - Katie's cousin from another branch of the Mcguire family.
After Lukas left Mcguire Group, Kareem became Carolyn's right-hand man at a young age because of
his smoothness and high-handedness.
For some reason, Jasper didn't think he was as gentle as he appeared on surface.
Jasper returned to his seat where all dishes were served; it seemed like everyone had been waiting for
him before they started eating.
As soon as he sat down without picking up his fork yet though Sylvia spoke coldly, "Some people are
just born brainless."
Jasper was wondering if Miss Andrews was talking about Katie.
Before Jasper could say anything, Franklin asked Sylvia, "I heard she specifically requested working
with Simeon? Do you agree with that, honey?"
Sylvia chuckled in response, "Simeon has good reputation, popularity and signature work. She has
Mcguire Group behind her but Simeon has me!"
Jasper wondered if Sylvia wanted to give a slap in Katie's face. After all, if Katie wanted to work with
Simeon, it would definitely need approval from Sylvia first.
Recently there were news everywhere online about how the heiress of the Mcguire Group was going to
work with Simeon.
Simeon had not responded, and neither had Katie. It was unclear whether she was just trying to ride on
Simeon's popularity or what, but it was rumored that Katie had been a fan of Simeon's even before she
became famous.
It was late at night on the day when Simeon suddenly posted a tweet, "Joining 'The Beggarly Girl Is A
Noble Lady', guest-starring for five minutes!"
After he posted it, there were soon a ton of comments from fans below.
"What? Simeon, are you going to act with Eden? The two top stars in one frame?"
"Ah! Sylvia's drama, you're going to make a guest appearance?"
"For my Simeon, I must buy tickets! Watch it twice or three times! Is it really only five minutes?"
"I thought... you were supposed to work with Katie? How do you have time to make a guest
appearance?"
As soon as this comment was posted...
Unexpectedly, within minutes, Simeon replied to it: "Nope. I'm joining Mr. Davila's drama crew!"
This was an outright denial from Simeon!
With his popularity and influence, he immediately became trending topic within minutes.
#Simeon denies working with Katie
When Katie saw this hashtag, she was angry.
The rumor about her wanting to work with Simeon had been spread by her own team in order to
generate buzz; they really were discussing working together!
Simeon had agreed; they just hadn't signed any contracts yet.
But then today Simeon's agent suddenly called and said that there wouldn't be any collaboration.
And then Simeon remarked on it and even made it a trending topic on Twitter!
Katie seethed with anger. 'Who does he think he is - some kind of big shot celebrity? what right does
he have refusing her like that?'
She couldn't sleep at all due to how angry she felt, so she went downstairs where Kareem happened
upon her as soon as he returned home reeking of alcohol.
"Kareem... have you been drinking? You smell terrible."
She covered her nose in disgust.
He chuckled softly and glanced over at her unpleasant expression. "Katie, don't you look too happy
huh?"
"How could I be happy?! Just go take a look at what's trending."
Kareem already knew about it and a hint of malice flashed in his eyes. "Why have you been having
such a rough time lately? First, your sister-in-law scolded you, and now the partnership fell through.
Come on, let's go to my room. I will help cheer you up."
He reached out and put his arm around Katie's shoulder as they went upstairs to his room. "Katie, do
you think maybe your sister-in-law is just really hard on you all the time? Maybe she doesn't like you?"
