Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 736

Chapter 736

“You can grab a cab,” Owen replied casually.

As a member of the State Security Bureau, Cathy was highly capable, so Owen was not worried about her safety at all.

Cathy turned to Aria and said, “Aria, mind if I stay at your place tonight?”

“Go ahead. I live alone.”

After Pearl moved upstairs, Ella followed and began teaching there.

With Lily living at school, Aria lived alone now.

Cathy didn’t expect Aria to let her stay. “Thanks, Aria. You’re so nice.”

Cathy was two years older than Aria, but she was younger than Owen, so she looked up to Aria.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Aria gave Cathy some new toiletries and pajamas. “Get some rest. Owen’s making dinner.”

Cathy said in surprise, “Owen can cook?”

Aria replied, “And he’s pretty good at it.”

Owen prepared six dishes, and Margery and Pearl joined them for the meal.

Seeing Margery, Cathy took the initiative to say, “I’m Cathy, Owen’s cousin.”

“Margery. Nice to meet you,” Margery replied.

“Nice to meet you, too,” Cathy said warmly.

Cathy took out her phone and snapped a few pictures before dinner. “I’ll send these to Luther. He’ll be so jealous,” she said. with a grin.

She never thought she had the opportunity to try Owen’s cooking.

At 2 a.m., Cathy was jolted awake by faint noises from the living room.

Instantly alert, she sprang out of bed and soundlessly positioned herself behind the door.

In the living room, two shadowy figures whispered in hushed tones.

One of them said, “Keep it quiet. Don’t alert Owen and Aria next door. Cassian said we couldn’t underestimate Owen.”

The other whispered, “Understood. Is Margery really here?”

“I trust Cassian’s intel.”

“Split up. See which room Margery’s in.”

“This door’s locked from the inside,” someone said.

Cathy held her breath, waiting. Moments later, the door was pried open.

A shadowy figure crept in. Cathy reacted instantly, striking at the figure’s neck.

1/2

The figure dodged with lightning speed, twisting aside and punching back.

In the darkness, the two exchanged blows in rapid succession, their strikes landing with heavy thuds.

Seeing this, the other man immediately joined the fray, launching a sneak attack on Cathy from behind.

One of them shouted, “Aria, all we want is Margery. Hand her over and we’re out of here.”

Cathy sneered, slamming the attacker with a flying spin kick.

The man dodged. When he was about to retaliate, Cathy demanded sharply, “Who sent you here?”

He suddenly grabbed his companion, peering warily into the darkness. “Wait! Are you Ms. Shaw?”

Cathy hummed in affirmation and reached for the light switch.

Under the harsh glare, the two men looked surprised. “Ms. Shaw? Why are you here?” asked one of the men.

They had both attended Cathy’s classes at Arressto’s training camp and recognized her instantly.

Cathy crossed her arms and said coldly, “Breaking into someone’s home? Arressto will fire you.”
