Catherine got up to her feet. She returned to the house to pack up her belongings and left. 2:00 a.m.She did not want to disrupt her friend’s sleep, so she drove to the nearest five-star hotel right away.In the lobby, she retrieved her credit card and handed it to the receptionist. It was returned into her hands a few seconds later. “I’m sorry to inform you that this card can’t be used.”Startled, she received it and gave the person another card.However, she failed to make the payment even after several tries with her other cards.It finally dawned upon her that the Joneses had suspended all of her credit cards.Although she had earned a few million dollars in the past couple of years from working on several projects, she had handed over the money to Sally without keeping any for herself.She normally used the credit cards given to her by Jeffery for her daily expenses, but those cards were all currently suspended. All she had left was a pay card that only had a little over

Cindy took off her sunglasses to throw a sarcastic glance at Catherine. “It’s not a bad thing that you bumped into me today as I’m tired of turning you down with excuses as well. Honestly, it’s your fault that you don’t know where you stand. Must you make me spell things out for you before you finally get it?”Catherine felt like a failure as she studied this beautifully made-up face in front of her face.Both Ethan and Cindy only chose to be nice to her before this because she was next in line as the heir of the Jones family.“Cindy, are you being serious?” Freya shouted, “Did you forget how you were bullied by Janet in the past? Or how Cathy helped you with the songs…”“Stop trying to restrain me using the past. She and I aren’t from the same world,” Cindy cut her off nervously. “Freya, take my advice. Some people will only bring you down. It’s best to stay away from them.”“Shut up! Friends are supposed to support each other without hoping to get something in return. Don’t you

Shaun suddenly curled a smile and raised his eyebrows. “You can leave, but you have to leave in the same way as they were dragged out just now.”Catherine was stunned as her eyes settled on Shaun. She was caught in a moment of conflicting emotions. She did not expect him to stand up for her. Somehow, she could not help but find him rather attractive. At that moment, Rebecca and the other two women could no longer keep their cool.Janet roared, “Who do you think you are? Do you know who we are?”Shaun kept still, throwing a glance at Chase.Chase looked sideways at the group of servers with a smile. “Should I personally give your boss a call? The person who’s the harshest in dragging them out will be rewarded.”Everyone in the restaurant was aware of Chase’s identity. Even the servers’ boss would treat him courteously.The group of servers immediately rushed to brutally drag Rebecca and the two women out.All of the three women had come well-dressed. However, their hair soon

Ethan’s thin lips opened and closed elegantly.Catherine had heard him saying sweet words countless times. This time, however, she was heartbroken.“Yeah, I’m awful. So are you here to take revenge against me on behalf of your fiancée?”“You still haven’t realized your mistake at this point,” Ethan furiously added, “Mr. and Mrs. Jones are already discontented with you. Why can’t you behave yourself? People out there are calling you small-minded.” “Yeah, I’m small-minded,” Catherine admitted it openly. “I’m not a saint either.”“Catherine!”Ethan could not help but knock on the car with his fist.“You’ve really let me down. I’ve been trying hard to endure for the sake of our future, hoping that I’ll be able to take over Lowe Corporation soon. What about you? Look at what you’ve done. Not only did you leave Summit and end up being jobless, but your reputation has also been ruined. Can’t you push yourself a little harder?”“I’m working hard.” ‘I’m working hard to consolidate my

A shiver ran through Catherine’s body. She seemed to have forgotten that she made the cat pudding earlier based on the recipe in the book.“Uh… That was actually…”“You can make anything for me as long as I find it tasty.”Shaun reminded her with a grim expression. At that moment, he began to feel nauseous upon realizing that he had consumed cat food. Catherine felt helpless. “Actually, I made it for Fudge, but you ate it and even commented that it was tasty. At that moment… I was too afraid to tell you the truth.”“Catherine.”Shaun gnashed his teeth. Having lived through 28 years of life, this was the first time he had ever wanted to kill a woman so badly.She shrunk her neck upon being shouted at. “In fact, the ingredients... are quite nutritious.”“Since the food’s nutritious, why don’t you eat it yourself?”“Uh, I don’t find it tasty.”“Well done.”While pointing at her, Shaun recalled praising the taste of the food. He became so furious that his face darkened.Cather
