Chapter 158

"Me?" Xavier pointed to himself in bewilderment as he blinked at Katherine innocently. "I don't recall having any stuff to do."

She shoved a set of keys into his hand and urged, "I'm sure you have. Now, hurry up and go back home, as in your apartment upstairs. Come back down for dinner later. Bye!"

Just like that, Xavier was practically frog-marched out of the door, and he was still in a daze as he stood out in the hallway. He glanced at the keys in his hand, and it took him a while to register what had just happened. Did Katherine just give me an apartment? One that's worth a dozen million?

Meanwhile, there was an amused smirk playing on Joaquin's lips as he gave Katherine a knowing look.

She cleared her throat and turned to address him primly, "Don't you have work to do or something?"

"The only work I have today is to stay here and keep Grandma company," Joaquin answered matter-of-factly.

"Where are you going?" Joaquin asked curiously.

"The research institute," Kathereie replied frankly.

"Be safe," he said.
