Chapter 127 - Wonderland Park

Anna and the twins chatted casually when Steve introduced them to two of his friends. One was Kinsey Alvianc, and the latter was Parker Gardner. Kinsey Alvianc was the person who helped Cathy by lying two days ago, and Parker was Steve's best friend.

By chance, the three men had an appointment with their female friends to meet in Wonderland. But the ladies had not arrived, and while waiting, Steve noticed Cathy and her siblings queuing on a Peter Pan ride.

Now they walked towards a Thunder-Coast ride and stood in line together. Anna and the twins lined up in the front row, followed by Steve alongside Cathy behind them, then Kinsey and Parker stood in the last row.

"Are you not angry with me anymore?" Cathy asked, glancing at Steve doubtfully.

"Why should I be angry?"

"Then why didn't you pick up my phone or reply to my chats. You even didn't read my chats."

"Ah, about that." Steve scratched his head, which didn't itch. "My cellphone is gone. I haven't had time to buy a new one. I bought a new one just two days ago, but I forgot your number, so... you too. Why don't you come to PYH again? It makes me harder to call you."

Cathy blinked in disbelief that her 'brother' shifted the blame on her. "Didn't you say I had to wait for your calls? You don't like my surprise visit, after all."

"But you always disobeyed and did come unnoticed."

"How can I come when you are angry with me?"

"How many times I have to tell you that I'm not mad at you."

"Cough... Cough..." someone from behind deliberately raised his cough to attract the attention of both of them.

Cathy immediately felt embarrassed when she realized the tone of her voice began to rise. Steve also felt ashamed because his tone was almost yelling at the girl. Plus, he scolded Cathy in front of her overly protective twin brother!

When Kinsey found out that Cathy was given the RM formula and Steve didn't stop them, Kinsey knocked and punched him several times, rendering him unable to work the next day. His face still had bruises, which have now been hidden with make-up.

The real reason why Steve didn't respond to calls or reply to the girl's chats was not because his cellphone disappeared. But because he felt guilty for failing to protect her from Lest's underhanded plan.

They know that LS wanted Cathy to remember and give them the Stealth activation key immediately. LS did not care about Cathy's life was in danger because the heir to Paxton's legacy was actually Kinsey. LS only cared about Kinsey's safety and protected Cathy only because the girl was their only hope to activate Stealth. Once Stealth was active, they would no longer care about Cathy.

When rumors that Chloe gave birth to a daughter spread, Kinsey got furious, he wondered why the words only mention a baby girl, while in fact, Chloe gave birth to twins. What absurd rumors.

Kinsey was eager to confirm the rumors that Chloe gave birth to baby twins so that Martin would target him instead of Cathy. But Lest managed to persuade him with reasonable excuses.

If Martin found out that Kinsey was Paxton's heir, they would take Cathy hostage to threaten him. And nothing could guarantee Martin wouldn't kill Cathy once he found out that his twin sister knew nothing about Stealth.

Among the LS members, only Kinsey and Steve were sincerely concerned about Cathy's safety. To Kinsey and Steve, Cathy was their precious little sister. That's why Kinsey was furious because Steve failed to prevent Lest's order from giving RM to Cathy.

"What's wrong with you? Are you fighting?" asked Lizzy, who also felt the dark atmosphere behind her.

"It is okay," replied Cathy, hooking her hand to Anna's arm.

Anna felt that her eldest sister was not in a good mood. Then Anna asked Cathy to separate from them by reason of going to the toilet.

As soon as they left the line, Anna opened her voice.

"Why did you fight with brother Steve?"

"We didn't fight."

"The atmosphere here is bustling, but we can hear your last words. Why is brother Steve mad at you?"

Cathy sighed softly and then briefly told Anna about the events of last Sunday.

"Then, after coming home from the hospital, I tried to call him, but he did not pick up. So I thought he was angry with me. How can I know if his phone disappeared? Why did he blame me? His attitude was like a child." scolded Cathy.

Anna almost gawked at her sister's complaints. This was the first time that her eldest sister had let her heart out like this. Usually, Cathy just kept it to herself and didn't worry her siblings. Anna felt that the last few days, her sister had changed a lot. Of course, it's a change for the good, and Anna loved the current Cathy.

Could it be because of Vincent? If so, Anna would be very grateful to that young man.

However, Anna felt something was wrong with her sister's story. Why did Steve forbid her sister to go to Green Park? It was as if Steve knew something unfortunate was going to happen.

Well, her sister was indeed suddenly collapsed and nearly had heart failure in the hospital. Could it be...

"Do you think that brother Steve knows that you will pass out there?"

"How could he? Is he a psychic who can see the future? Never mind, forget it. I don't want our family event to be ruined because of this misunderstanding."

Not wanting to think further, Anna agreed. The two of them returned to the queue earlier, and now they met three women who had just arrived.

"Looks like we interrupted your date. Should we go?" Cathy's sarcasm to Steve made one of the women who heard her laugh.

"There's no need to go. We came here to claim our prize." said one of the ladies named Giselle.

"That's right. Steve lost the bet, and he had to treat us to here for fun." continued Claire, her friend.

"Who would have thought that he brought his troops. Two male friends and four younger adorable sisters." continued the last woman named Aileen. "How about you join us and leave them? They are not fun companions after all," whispered Giselle at Cathy while winking her one eye.

"I agree with you," answered Cathy, barely hide her amused smile.

"Cathy, I don't know what she said, but I can assure you she's not telling the truth," Steve explained hurriedly.

"Hmph!" snorted Cathy, then joined her sisters, ignoring the men.

Steve felt gloomy seeing Cathy now even angrier at him. He was even more depressing when he felt a pat on his shoulder, and a cold voice whispered to him.

"Nice work to make her hate us."

Ugh! Steve lamented himself. Moreover, during that day, Cathy did not respond and became closer to the three female friends.

That night they still didn't want to go home and saw a parade as the last event show. The longer they stayed, the more visitors arrived. Because it was too crowded, Cathy's large group scattered to take a closer look at the show.

Cathy basically hated crowds, so she tried to walk away to get out of the stuffy sea of humans.

Unfortunately, her body was not as tall as Anna's or Steve's. Her petite figure was often bumped here and there, making her almost unable to move. But she didn't give up and tried to force her way through the crowd until she felt someone or something pushing her back hard.

Thump!

Cathy fell and winced in pain when someone accidentally stepped on her hand. Not only that, she found it difficult to stand up because every time she tried to stand up, someone knocked her and hit her head.

Little did she know that someone targeted her and indeed push her and hired some people to injure her.

It didn't take long before someone tripped over her leg and cursed her. Some even stepped on her feet, making her bite her lip in pain. Cathy was totally helpless and didn't know how to get out of her situation.

All of a sudden, her body lifted, and her eyes were shocked when she saw the face that was carrying her in bridal style.

"What are you doing? Put me down!"

Cathy tried to wriggle her way down, but this person didn't even comply and took her away from the crowd. Her heart trembled with fear when she saw them walking towards a more secluded place... further away from the parade that was taking place.

"Put me down... I'll scream if you don't drop me!" demanded Cathy, swinging her hovering legs hoping this person's balance was off guard.

Unfortunately, this person's two hands were still firm and didn't budge from its position. Cathy's heart screamed silently when she saw several people in black standing there as if waiting for them.

What.... what is this guy trying to do?
