Chapter 10
The driver brought the car to an abrupt stop at the entrance of Elite Street.
Alfred hit the window button, his cold, steely gaze locking onto a figure disappearing into a store, with Chris trailing behind.
“I’m going shopping,” he muttered, his voice low and firm.
Immediately, his security team sprang into action. Some quickly exited the vehicle, their eyes scanning the area for any threats, while others efficiently retrieved Alfred’s wheelchair from the trunk and carefully helped him out,
In no time, Alfred was being pushed down Elite Street by one of his bodyguards, their movements synchronized and swift.
The shopkeepers on Elite Siret were quick to recognize him. Even if they hadn’t met Alfred in person, they knew his face from the newspapers. Besides, no one else in the city had an entourage hike hu They all politely greeted him.
“Good day, Mr. Davidson.”
“Welcome, Mr. Davidson.”
Every shop owner who got word of his arrival rushed out with smiles to greet him, even if Alfred didn’t know them personally. It didn’t matter- what mattered was that Alfred knew they respected him
Kate, oblivious to Alfred’s presence on Elite Street, had already entered a store and was busy picking out clothes for him.
Chris stayed close, making small talk with her. When Alfred entered the store, he saw Kate holding up a shin, seemingly considering it for someone to try on. Chris immediately stepped forward.
Alfred’s expression darkened. In his mind, their marriage might have been rushed and devoid of real emotion, but now that they were officially married, she ought to be faithful and certainly shouldn’t be buying clothes for other men.
“Hello, Mr. Davidson, everyone in the store greeted him respectfully
Chris and Kate were the last to notice him.
“Oh. Mr. Davidson, Chris stammered, clearly not expecting to run into Alfred there
Despite Alfred’s disability, he was still a giant in Sherpsel’s business world, someone who could sh
I shake the city with just a word.
Like everyone else. Chris both respected and feared Alfred. However, he also saw this unexpected encounter as a golden opportunity to get on Alfred’s good side. He pulled Kate over, who was still holding the shirt she had chosen.
Kate, now standing right in front of Alfred, felt a twinge of guilt under his intense gaze Wait, why should I feel guilty! I haven’t done anything wrong, she told herself.
Straightening her posture, she smiled sweetly. “Mr. Davidson, what a coincidence
Her smile caused a flicker in Alfred’s eyes, and even Chris couldn’t help but glance at her a couple of times. He hadn’t expected Kate to have the nerve to smile at Alfred, let alone greet him. After everything that had happened, he thought she would be terrified of Alfred,
Alfred scoffed coldly. “A coincidence, indeed” But inside, he thought, ‘So, she thinks she can sneak around with her lover and buy him clothes behind my back? Does she think I’m blind?:
Alfred reached out his hand. Let me see that shirt.”
Kate handed it to him without besitation.
Alfred pretended to examine the shirt before casually tossing it back into Kate’s arms. “This shirt is crap, the fabric’s cheap. But..” He glanced at Chris and added icily. “It looks just about right for Mr. Cohen,”
After all, Alferd would never wear such clothes, his entire wardrobe was custom–made by top designers using only the finest materials.
The store manager went pale and quickly chimed in. “Mr. Davidson, our brand is renowned workbeide, and we guarantee the highest quality
Alfred a influence in Sherpsel was enormous, and his criticism could severely impact their business and even the brand’s reputation across the
Contry
“If I say its cheap, then its cheap. I don’t wear this brand anyway, Alfred shot back colilly.

The manager’s face turned even whiter, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
“Mr. Davidson, this shirt wasn’t for Mr. Cohen Kate finally spoke up. “Mr. Cohen and I aren’t close–why would I buy anything for him! I was planning to get it for you. But if you don’t like the brand, forget it, I actually thought it was pretty nice.”
Everyone in the store stared at Kate in shock. Even Alfred was momentarily taken aback. He hadn’t expected that Kate had chosen the clothes for
hirn
However, his surprise quickly faded. He reached out again, took the shirt from her, pretended to examine it once more, and then acted as if he’d reluctantly accept it. “It’s… wearable, I guess,” he said.
“So, should I buy it!” Kare asked.
Alfred tossed the shirt back to her, wheeling himself away as he coldly mattered, “Do whatever you want.
His bodyguards quickly followed, pushing his wheelchair out of the store.
The store manager and the rest of the staff hurried after him, respectfully saying, “Take care, Mr. Davidson.”
Kate pursed her lips, wondering. He sure knows how to make an entrance, acting like royalty in a store. Does he actually like the shirt? His last comment about it being wearable–does that mean he’s okay with it?”
Kate decided to buy the shirt anyway. If he doesn’t like it, I’ll just give in to my brother,” she thought, referring to the eldest son of her foster
parents
After Alfred left, Chris gave Kate a complicated look. Uninterested in engaging, Kate paid for the shirt and walked out
“Kate.” Chris called after her.”
“Why are you buying clothes for Mr. Davidson?”
Without even looking at him, Kate replied coolly, “And why the hell does that matter to you?”
Chris was left speechless.
Just then, Vita called Kate, asking which store she was in After telling noticed Chris still tailing her.
Vita to wait for her at the entrance of Aura Supreme, Kate hung up and
She stopped, turned around, and asked coldly, “Why the hell are you still following me, Mr. Cohen?”
Chris sighed. “You’re acting weird today. Are you still pissed I didn’t visit you?”
D
Kate sneered internally. The fact that I didn’t strangle you on the spot shows how much self–control I have. Do you seriously expect me to treat you the same way I did in my past life! Keep dreaming
Our loud, she said, “What’s so weird! I’m always like this. Stop following me, or call the cops and report you for stalking and harassment”
Chris just stared at her in silence. He couldn’t help but think how much Kate had changed. Kyla had mentioned that Kate was different after returning from the Davidson family.
She really has changed. What the hell happened to her there? he wondered.
““Kate, my family is already picking a date. Oner we’ve set it, I’ll come to your house with my parents to finalize our engagement. You don’t have to worry about a thing–just get ready to be my beautiful bride, Chris said, trying to gauge her reaction.
Kate smiled, but her smile was full of sarcasm. “I don’t remember you ever proposing to me. And hasn’t Kyla told you? I don’t want to marry you anymore!
Kyla is crazy about him. Now that she knows I don’t want to marry him, she must’ve told him, Kate thought.
“Kate,” Chris called softly. “What exactly happened when you were at the Davidson family?”
“How do you know I went to the Davidson family! Kyla must’ve spilled everything, and here you are, playing dumb. Isn’t it exhausting. Mr. Cohen! Well, I’m done. Im tired of this game,” Kate said, turning to leave. She paused and added, “Stop following me, or you’ll regret it.”
