Victoria’s kick was brutal. That kick with her pointed heel shoe was enough to send Simba flying and lose one of its teeth. On top of that, its mouth was injured, and it suffered from a mild concussion.
Had it been an average cat, its organs might have gotten hurt as well. It was a good thing that Simba was plump and rounded. Its fat provided the protection it needed to absorb the impact and shielded its vital organs. Despite that, the veterinarian insisted that it remain at the facility for an additional two days of monitoring.
What a scare… Sophia found herself drenched in sweat from the frightening experience. It was the offspring of Cooper’s cat, and Old Master Fletcher personally entrusted it to her. If it was harmed in any way, she would have failed both Cooper and Old Master Fletcher.
“Simba, you stay here. I’ll come to see you tomorrow,” said Sophia, to which Simba knowingly replied with a ‘meow’. Due to its missing front tooth, it did not look as charming as before. In fact, a cat with a missing front tooth was a comical sight.
Upon returning home from the veterinary, Sophia took a look at Maria’s cat bag. An unfamiliar Persian cat stuck its little head out. The cat bag belonged to Garfield, but the collar and the cat did not match.
Maria knew how much this cat meant to Sophia, so the former was exasperated. “I personally made sure all seven cat bags were packed before coming home. But I was careless, and someone swapped Garfield away when I wasn’t looking.”
Sophia brought all her cats to the pet shop today. She brought four ginger cats, Garfield, Sunset, and her two kittens, which was eight cats in total. Simba was at the veterinary, so seven cat bags were brought home.
Sophia gazed at the stranger Persian cat and felt she had seen it somewhere. Upon further study, she confirmed it belonged to Judy; she remembered it clearly because of the black mark on its bottom.
Maria bit her lower lip. “I’m not sure if I should bring this up to Ms. Sarah…”
Sophia was close with Sarah. Given the incident that happened at the event earlier on, Maria felt it was not her place to ask Sarah about it, so it would be best for Sophia to ask instead. Sophia gave the cat a rub in the head and commented, “It’s quite good looking too. We’ll keep it.” She then turned around and went out the door with her phone on the dial before driving off in the middle of the night. When Sarah found out about this, she was vexed. They’ve gone too far. Stealing someone’s cat? Have they no shame at all? I don’t care if they’d lose face or if they’d pull the family card on me. To hell with that!
Before long, Sarah joined Sophia. Stanley, who got the news, came to help as well. Together, they headed off to the Edwards Residence.
Sophia’s luxury design workshop was located in an office building opposite Sarah’s cat cafe. Ivan, who was living in the cafe’s hostel, arrived at the cafe after work and noticed Sophia’s group coming and leaving in a haste. Upon asking what they were up to, Sophia told him what happened to her cat and that she was going to get it back.
Ivan was stunned, for he was reminded of his dog. Back then when his dog ran out and got taken away by someone else, he attempted to get his dog back. The other party asked for money, which he offered, but they turned back on their words and humiliated him. When the negotiation went south, they threw his dog off the building from the tenth floor, right in front of him… Hence, Ivan decided to follow Sophia, offering any help he could.
At the West Residence.
Faye scrutinized the Persian cat in Judy’s arms, noticing the extravagant apparel it was wearing. She mocked under her breath, What a pretentious woman who married an upstart.
