A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 93

The corner of Calvin’s mouth twitched slightly as he turned around.

“I never thought you’d be begging me for help one day,” he said.

Samuel’s tone remained icy-cold. “Are you going to spit it out or not? Otherwise, let’s talk about how
Mr. Heathrow sent his secretary to—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Calvin shot him a glare and cut him off, chastising, “Do you wish to
cause chaos within the family?”

Samuel merely looked at him indifferently.

“Let me tell you this. Kate has been requesting us, time after time, not to treat you differently for her
sake. Do you know what that means?” Calvin cast a glance at his son.

The calm and composed Samuel probed, “What does it mean?”

“You idiot!” Calvin slammed the table passionately. “It indicates that she still cares about you deep
down inside! Hence, she couldn’t bear to see us give you the cold shoulder. If she genuinely hates you,
why would she try to reconcile with you?”

Hearing that, Samuel furrowed his brows.

“The fact that she pitied you means that she’s not as cold as ice toward you. However, it doesn’t
necessarily mean there’s still space for you in her heart. If you’re smart enough, you’d know how to
make use of this situation,” explained Calvin before adding in a stern tone, “If I have to be honest, I
didn’t want to tell you this. If you won over Kathleen for real, I’d feel like I may have laid out a trap for
her. Nevertheless, you are my son, and I have to help my son. Do not tell your mom or grandma about
this. Otherwise, I’d be in hot water!”



Samuel was rendered speechless.

If I were to tell someone my dad’s behaving in this manner, I doubt they’d believe me. Then again, what
he said does make sense. Kathleen does still harbor some feelings toward me.

Alas, his delusions would soon be shattered by Kathleen herself.

A few days later, Kathleen went to the studio for the recording of The Fantastic Restaurant.

There were a total of five participating celebrities in the show, including Katherine.

The other participants, apart from Katherine, were two male and two female celebrities, all of whom
were extremely popular figures in the entertainment industry.

After all, the show was to be broadcasted on Young TV, and the main purpose was to spread positivity.

The other four celebrities were Steve, Kylie, Nancy, and John.

Steve Xander was a trending star in the entertainment industry. He had starred in several romance
dramas, all of which gained significant popularity, thus solidifying his position in the entertainment
industry.

Kylie Jakeson, on the other hand, was a beautiful and skillful actress. She recently collaborated with
Steve on a drama that was well-received by the audience.

Many fans of the drama began shipping the two together, and that was why the production team
decided to invite them both onto the show.

Nancy Walker was the eldest among the five celebrities, but she was only thirty-two years old. She was
both elegant and sophisticated. Her recent show, The Ambitious Stars, had pushed her popularity to
the peak.



The last participating celebrity was John Davidson, who debuted on a talent show. Apparently, he was
recommended to the production team by an investor.

At first, Kathleen was not on the guest list of the show.

However, the celebrity who was in discussion with the production team to confirm their participation did
not seem too enthusiastic and never gave a direct answer.

Much to everyone’s surprise, Kathleen won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Thus, the production
team immediately contacted her and invited her onto the show.

Because of that, the celebrity who was replaced by Kathleen had been holding a grudge against her.

Kathleen was the first to arrive on set, followed by Steve.

When he first saw Kathleen, his eyes sparkled with excitement and admiration.

She’s so beautiful!

Her beauty was so eye-catching that Steve found himself unable to look away from her. “Hello,” he
greeted.

Kathleen felt slightly awkward and merely gave a short response. “Hi.”

Just then, Kylie had arrived as well.

She was extremely enthusiastic and friendly toward Steve as she patted the latter’s shoulder and
greeted, “Hey, man. We meet again!”

Although many people loved Kylie and Steve as a couple, the former was afraid of negative press and
dared not be too close to the male celebrity. Instead, she treated him as if he was a brother of hers.



Nevertheless, there was still a tinge of intimacy in their interactions.

Steve nodded. “You’re here.”

Kylie’s gaze shifted toward Kathleen.

As soon as she laid eyes on Kathleen, Kylie’s eyes were filled with hostility.

The reason was none other than Kathleen’s gorgeous appearance and the fact that she won the
Academy Award for Best Actress.

Moreover, she also had Christopher backing her up.

Kylie greeted nonchalantly, “Hey. Nice to meet you.”

Kathleen hummed in response before saying, “Nice to meet you too.”

Neither of them held out their hands for a handshake.

After that, Kylie let out a faint snort.

Just then, Nancy and John arrived on set together.

The latter helped Nancy carry her suitcase as if he was her subordinate.

Though Nancy greeted everyone, she paid extra attention to Kathleen.

Even if these celebrities were powerful figures in the entertainment industry, their statuses were still
incomparable to Kathleen’s as Kathleen was about to marry into a wealthy family.

Similar to Steve, John also could not take his eyes off of Kathleen. His eyes were almost popping out of
his sockets as he stared at her.



How can there be someone so beautiful?

Nancy and John greeted Kathleen, who responded with courtesy.

Cain Dodson, the director of the show, asserted, “Since everyone’s here now, I have an announcement
to make. This season of The Fantastic Restaurant is unlike the previous seasons as we’ll be shooting
locally this time. Hence, we’ll be under stringent conditions, which means the start-up capital is limited.”

The participating celebrities were well aware of that, so Cain was merely explaining to the audience.

Then, he turned toward the group of celebrities, asking, “Who do you think should be the restaurant
manager?”

“I recommend my good friend, Steve,” Kylie suggested while patting Steve’s shoulder. “I’ll be more than
happy to assist him.”

Cain went on, “What about the accountant?”

As a matter of fact, an accountant needed to be responsible for the money, and there would be a lot of
issues to deal with when money was involved.

One could say it was a thankless role, so no one desired the position.

Kylie swiveled her eyes around as an idea came to her. “How about we let Kate be in charge of that?”
she proposed with a smile.

In actuality, Kylie was two years older than Kate, but she acted as if she was younger than the latter.

“Kate, since no one expressed any objections, why don’t you become the accountant?” said Kylie with
a wide grin plastered on her face.



Everyone remained silent because they didn’t have an opinion on the matter.

However, Kylie’s words made it sound as if they all agreed with her suggestion.

Kathleen was calm as a millpond as she said frankly, “I don’t think I can manage it very well by myself.
Why don’t we take turns?”

Her response rendered Kylie speechless.

“Seeing as no one’s objecting, we’ll decide on that arrangement then.” Kathleen’s lips curled into a
smile as she continued, “To be honest, I have no experience with managing finances. Why don’t Kylie
have the first go? I’ll be able to watch and learn from her that way.”

Once again, Kylie could not find the right words to refute Kathleen.

Nancy was secretly laughing inside. How true! As the saying goes, there’s no best, only better.

“Me?” Kylie bit her lip. “I can’t do it.”

A faint smile appeared on Kathleen’s face as she queried, “Don’t you know how to do basic
mathematics?”

Kylie dared not respond to Kathleen’s question.

If I say no, that’s basically admitting I don’t know basic mathematics! Geez, Kathleen sure is one tough
nut to crack.

“Fine, then why don’t you be in charge of doing the dishes, Kate?” suggested Kylie.

“I’m fine with it as long as the manager agrees.” There was a composed smile on Kathleen’s face.



Feeling awkward, Steve piped up, “There are so many dishes. I’m not sure one person will be able to
handle it all.”

Kylie wore an innocent expression on her face as she said, “How many dishes can we possibly use? I
doubt we’d use that many, right?”

No one responded to her question.

Just then, John volunteered himself, “I’ll do the dishes with Kate.”

Steve nodded in agreement before shifting his gaze toward Nancy and asking, “In that case, are you
okay with being the waitress, Nancy?”

Nancy’s lips curved upward. “Sure.”

Just as Steve was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Nancy added, “Anyway, whenever we need help,
anyone who’s free can give a helping hand. After all, we can’t just stand there and watch the others get
busy with work, can we? I’m sure we’re not such inconsiderate people, don’t you all agree?”

Steve nodded in response. “That’s right. We’re a team.”

Hearing that, Kylie bit her lip in annoyance, thinking Nancy was deliberately targeting her.

“All right, then! Let’s get ready. We have a couple of reservations tonight,” said Steve.

At that moment, the director reminded him, “Mr. Xander, you haven’t decided who’s going to be the
head chef yet.”
