Chapter 225
Chapter 225: She bit her lip and asked, “Joyce has been gone for four years. Why bring her up now?”’ “Do you still remember Joyce mentioning she wanted to start a jewelry company with you?”’ After a moment’s hesitation, a flicker of panic crossed Cathy’s eyes. “Really?”’ No wonder Belinda found herself working in the jewelry design studio after her divorce. It turned out she and Joyce had made plans to launch a jewelry business. “Yes.”’ Massaging his aching temples, Kristopher spoke in a low, hoarse voice. “Perhaps you don’t recall Joyce discussing this with me.”’ Back then, Kristopher had suffered an eye injury, and Cathy had come to his rescue. Simultaneously, Cathy had hurt her throat, which reduced her speech to mere whispers. He found it painful to hear her strain her voice, so he often discouraged her from speaking.

She believed Cathy would eventually study jewelry design and join her in running a company. At that time, Kristopher had promised to establish the company alongside them.

It’s surprising she remembered everything and mentioned it to you.”’ With an awkward smile, Cathy continued, “I nearly forgot about my ambition to establish a jewelry business.”’ Kristopher exhaled deeply. “I saw someone in the jewelry design field named Joyce.”’ He fixed his gaze on Cathy and inquired, “Did Joyce have any friends who were into jewelry design while she was alive? Besides you, did anyone else know about her desire to start a jewelry business?”’ Caught off guard, Cathy struggled to respond. Truth be told, her relationship with Joyce was far from cordial. That woman had no right to converse with her as if they were sisters. How could Cathy possibly know Joyce’s friends or who was privy to her dreams?…
