Tangled By Fate

Chapter 574 MEETING CATHERINE

Ovior couldn't understand why Dorothy would suffer for two years. Zinnia noticed how worried he was and mentioned, "It can be just nightmares." She shrugged. "You have never slept with her before. Now you do, you are going to see more of her. I don't know if it has anything to do with her family. She had a fiancé. If it's related to that guy… he's already dead. You made sure of it."

"If it's him, I'll destroy all his family members and relatives," Ovior's eyes burned in anger. "She can't even tell me properly if it was just a nightmare or reality. If I ask her, she shivers in fear.' He clenched his fist as he realized how helpless he was in that situation. He didn't know how to get rid of her pain. Their wedding was approaching and they were barely sleeping. He just hoped that Dorothy wouldn't pass out on their wedding day. While he was worried about his future bride, the future bride was enjoying her time walking around the hilly areas with Catherine.

"It must be nice to be able to live here," Dorothy stated. She couldn't help but compliment the area. "My house is being constructed. It's not far from here. It won't take much time to go there. I'll show it to you. Come with me." Catherine took her to the construction site. Catherine resided in the hilly terrain. Her home was perched above a hill. Her lovely stone cottage stood on stilts. The outer layer of the cottage was done. The interior design was still ongoing. In front of her home was a path leading to the road through a flower garden. Therefore, anyone visiting her home would first travel along the flowerbed route before arriving at her residence. The path was lined with vibrant blooms of all colors, creating a picturesque entrance to Catherine's abode. The scent of the flowers wafted through the air, adding to the charm of her hilltop retreat. It was a breathtaking sight. The entire area was surrounded by trees, which obscured the couple's home and private lives. "This place is gorgeous!" Dorothy was mesmerized by how the beauty of nature surrounded the area. She couldn't help but think about her and Ovior's house. "I'm amazed how you managed to do everything with the money you earned," she said. "I've never met a lady who saved money while working and built her own house. You have earned my respect, Lady Catherine." She didn't lie. She truly admired Catherine's planning and management skills.

"Oh my, thank you, lady Dorothy. It's my honor to be respected by you," Catherine politely stated. From the moment she saw the young noble lady, she liked her. She was at first surprised by knowing that the girl was soon-to-be Ovior's bride. After all, she looked too young for a man around his thirties. However, it was Ovior and Dorothy's choice. She was merely an outsider in their relationship. She had no right to be nosing around people's private life. "I knew I could trust you. After all, you worked with Ovior. He highly recommended you," Dorothy voiced out.

"Did he?" Catherine couldn't help asking, "Did he say I was a gold digger?"

Dorothy paused. She didn't know how to reply. Although Ovior directly didn't call her a gold digger, he mentioned how much she loved money.

To save the skin of her future husband, she replied with a dry smile, "…No… there is no such thing. How could he say something like that."

Catherine smiled at her response. "Is that so? I'm glad that he changed his personality so quickly. It must be because of you, Lady Dorothy."

"No such thing…" Dorothy was embarrassed. She started seeing Ovior in a new light. She realized no matter how nice he was to her, he was rather mean toward someone who worked for him for a long time.

Later on, they went back to the hotel where Catherine and Sebastian were staying. Catherine taught her about money management –spending, savings, budgeting, investing and planning for the future. She also taught Dorothy how much financial independence and security were important.

Sebastian heard her speaking from time to time. He was proud of the woman he loved. Any man would want a wife who was good at saving and planning for the future. When he heard about financial independence, he told her, "Ovior is the richest of all rich people who live in Tybu. Even Arthur isn't as rich as him. I don't think they (Ovior and Dorothy) need to worry about financial independence. Even if Ovior stops working, he can feed his entire future generation with his wealth."

Dorothy shyly refuted, "It's not like that. Whatever we have, we need to manage it."

Sebastian told her, "Lady Dorothy must have seen Ovior's wealth when you visited the mansion. I know what you saw. I used to manage his place for him before I was transferred to a different place. Catherine is the one who has managed his wealth until now. That's why Ovior recommended her to you. No one is more suitable than her."

"Honestly, you don't have to say more." This time, Catherine was embarrassed. "Lord Sebastian is a lucky man to have a talented person like Lady Catherine by his side," Dorothy was full of praise.

"No… it's not like that…" Catherine tried to speak but Sebastian said, 'You are absolutely correct, Lady Dorothy. I'm very lucky to have her." He touched Catherine's shoulder and smiled lovingly at her. Catherine looked at him and smile came to her lips automatically when she saw his smile.

Dorothy stared at them with a smile on her face as well. She prayed for their happiness for the bottom of her heart. In her eyes, the world suddenly became very beautiful. She thought, if people could love each other like that all the time, how wonderful the world would turn out to be.

By the time she reached the Magic Tower, it was eight in the evening. She was warmly embraced by Ovior. "You came late," he commented. "I was getti

ng worried over here. What did you do there for so long?"
