Chapter 175 Seaview Dinner for Two

When they left, Katherine pointed her finger to Roy and threatened to fire him when Charles returned. With a smile on his face, Roy listened to her words.

“I’m going to tell Charles that you’re all a bunch of bullies. Wait and see!” she screamed. Her fists fell on him like rain but he kept on smiling at her.

“I'm not going to forget what happened today. I’ll make you regret for not doing anything while that woman harassed me.”

Having unleashed her anger, Katherine was drained of all energy. She sat on a chair and wiped her forehead with a napkin.  

Roy looked at her with a smile and gave a slight bow, “Ms. Katherine. Your dinner will be here soon.”

“When the food is ready, bring it to my room,” she said with a distorted voice before storming out of the hall.

Roy went outside to find out where Bella and the child had gone. He didn’t expect the Lady to act in such a manner. Splashing a bowl of soup over Miss Katherine was quite a bold move. Now he wanted to find her before she did something more reckless.

The guards at the gate informed him that Bella and the boy had left with the chauffeur while Ziv would be keeping an eye over them. Roy wanted to make sure that the Lord would return to the Sea Kingdom before nightfall, therefore asked them to remain in touch with Ziv.

When he returned to the dining hall, the servants were gossiping about the episode between Miss Katherine and the Lady. The could not believe that a well-educated lady like Miss Katherine could have such a dirty mouth. They attributed her bad temper to her being a rich spoiled girl, and for this reason, she did not deserve to be the Lord’s wife.

Roy reprimanded them for talking about the Lord’s personal affairs and threaten to send them back to the sea as punishment. Even though all the members of the Williams family knew that Charles was going to marry Katherine, the servants were not supposed to know this.

Meanwhile, Katherine rushed to her room, slammed the door shut and made a phone call to her dad. She had a favor to ask but before doing that, she told him everything that had happened with Bella.

“Dad, you must help me kill her as soon as possible,” she asked at the end.

“With pleasure. I have received information that she is most likely the carrier of the mermaid gene. Which means, the girl must go.”

“Dad, do you really believe in mermaids?”

“Of course I do. Once we possess the gene, we can control the entire ocean. All the wealth of the sea floor will be ours.”

“Daddy, we're rich enough. Why do we need so much wealth?”

“The richer, the better. Don’t forget that wealth means power and if it’s not in our hands it will be in someone else’s.”

“All right, Papa. As long as you make Bella disappear from his world.”

“I'm going to have a meeting now. Talk to you later.”

“Bye, father.”

“Good-bye, my girl.”

Now Katherine’s mood was much better than before. A knock on the door reminded her that it was time for dinner. She could now eat her tender steak and fantasize about Bella’s upcoming demise.

At the same time, Bella and the child decided to have dinner on the terrace of a French restaurant next to the beach. After going through the menu for a few minutes, Bella ordered lobster, shrimps, and oysters.

“Do you like seafood so much?” asked Brandon.

“Doesn’t everybody like seafood?” asked Bella in return.

The boy shook his head up and down and made a mental note to ask the chef at the Mansion to start making seafood dishes for Bella. He personally didn't love seafood, so the cook actually seldom cooked it. From now on, this was going to change.

When the food arrived, Bella put shrimps and oysters on Brandon’s plate before she began to eat. While she removed the shell of the lobster, some sauce ran down her slender long fingers.

The boy noticed that and grabbed her hand so that he could suck the sauce off her fingertips. The only thing Bella could do was stare at him with amazement.

“I just wanted to clean your fingers,” said the boy.

“What will happen if I get mud on my feet?” Bella asked herself. She put her hand in front of her mouth to prevent her from laughing at the thought.

“Well, thank you. However, what you did wasn’t necessary. Wiping my hand with a napkin would be sufficient.”

“You got to be more careful,” said the boy, “or else the juice will stain your clothes.”

“Do you want to try the lobster?” she asked. “It’s magnificent.”

At that moment, a little girl holding a flower basket walked up to the table.

“Would you like to buy a rose, Madam?” asked the girl in a polite voice.

“No Thanks. I’m allergic to flowers,” said Bella.

“Are you really allergic to pollen?” asked the boy after the flower girl had walked away.

“I am not allergic, but the Lord is. He is the fiancé of the woman I quarreled with in the dining hall.”

“Do you like that man? I mean, why would you care whether he’s allergic or not?”

She shrugged and forced a smile while she kept on eating the lobster. “I’m not entirely sure about that. Now eat quickly your food.”

“All right,” said the boy.

“Why do you keep on asking whether I like that man?”

“Because we’re friends and friends take care of each other,” said the boy with a smile.
