My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Cathy was still pensive when thinking about everything Charlie said. No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't understand her uncle's way of thinking.

First, her uncle didn't invite Paxton, his family, while he invited almost the entire Regnz family, who wasn't blood-related to Ben.

Her uncle invited people in various circles, both super and middle class. But Regnz was the only one who was thoroughly invited. Is there a special relationship between his uncle and the Regnz?

The Bernz family, who was officially invited, did not attend tonight. Even though Cathy was very sure Felicia Bernz would not miss a party with her idol man.

But none of this compared to what Clarissa Paxton had to do. What made her the most curious was the reason why uncle Ben forgave the woman?

The fact that uncle Ben didn't invite the Paxton family, his own family made Cathy think that her uncle didn't like the other Paxton members. Then why did her uncle forgive that woman so easily? This is entirely incomprehensible.

Cathy couldn't find the answer at all until her steps took her to a garden full of flowers, and she saw someone there. The person was dressed in dark attire, sitting on a wooden bench, casually looking up at the sky.

Cathy sighed in surprise. When she was looking for that man, she couldn't find him. While she wasn't looking for that man, that person appeared in front of her.

Because she felt dizzy thinking about the past two days' mysterious events, she decided to forget it.

Cathy walked over to the pensive man, clearing her throat to attract the man's attention. As expected, the man was still wearing his mask.

"Aren't you stifling to wear a mask all day?"

Vincent instantly took off his mask and tapped the empty bench next to him. The man's actions seemed to persuade Cathy to sit there... next to him.

Well, it doesn't matter if that guy wants her to sit next to him. It's just that...

Why is that guy smiling at her so sweetly? Why did her heart flutter at that smile?

Finally, Cathy decided to sit there without glancing at the man. She promptly looked straight ahead at the thousands of gray plants in her eyes, ignoring the charming smile adorning the man's face.

"I heard you're not from the V collection." came the sudden question from Cathy. She was already curious when Vincent came here as a photographer. She was sure V collection turned down her request, but his appearance left her wondering.

'He's not from V collection. He is an acquaintance of mine whose abilities are not inferior to V. He is my backup plan.' that's the answer Ben gave when she asked her uncle.

"That's right. I didn't come because V collection sent me. Besides, since the beginning, I didn't work there as a permanent employee. I just visited there to meet my best friend. As additional information, Frank is my best friend." he said.

"Ah, I see. So you don't know V at all?"

"Do you still want to meet V?"

Ugh... She just wanted to test whether the guy was lying or not. That night the man made her feel sure that Vincent knew V. Then Vincent said that he didn't work at V Collection and was just visiting his best friend, Frank.

Looking back, Vincent never said he knew V personally. He only defended Frank or V collection from her, who wants to meet V in an unacceptable way.

Therefore she was very curious, whether Vincent knew V or not. Or was it possible... Is Vincent V?

Cathy sighed as she pushed aside the last thought. How could Vincent be V? It just so happens that they have the same first letter name.

Vincent just smiled at the expression of disappointment at the girl next to him. Now Vincent somewhat could understand the way of thinking of a Catherine. He knew this girl just wanted to test him with trick questions. Of course, he would not allow himself to fall into that trap.

"That night, you said it confidently that V collection would not accept my request. Why do you say that if you don't work there?"

Vincent smiled resignedly. It looks like Cathy isn't the type to give up easily.

"I just said it in emotion. I'm not too fond of the attitude of people who pretend to be sneaky to my best friend. In this case, you are using Frank, and I can't accept it. I'm sorry if my words offended you at that time."

Exactly what he expected. Vincent said a series of sentences insulted her to defend his best friend. But something was strange...

Cathy looked at the young man next to her in confusion. How strange. Why did the man's attitude change?

That night, Cathy vividly remembered the man looking at her with displeasure. She was sure that the man hated her and was cold to her on purpose. Yesterday morning when they met in the hotel lobby, the man said sorry and wanted to work professionally. But his attitude has not changed. His attitude was just direct... not cold nor friendly.

Then now... ever since Cathy came a minute ago until now, that man's tone of voice and attitude was very different from what he had shown before. The man's voice sounded gentle, and the man's gaze was very unusual.

Vincent didn't look at her with hate or malice, but he looked at her as if Cathy were one of his close friends. Or maybe this is just her imagination?

Cathy put her right hand on her left chest as she calmed her pounding heart.

What's wrong with her? Why is her heart beating like this?

"Are you cold?" asked Vincent, who had misunderstood her actions.

"No. I'm not cold. Besides, this island is in the tropics, so the temperature here isn't too cold." somehow, Cathy regretted what she said.

Why in the world did she explain the temperature?
