That afternoon, Catherine was having lunch in the canteen when Shaun called. The man’s tone reeked
of arrogance. “Beg me. I’ll sort out the matter with the construction companies for you if you agree to
divorce me.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll sort it out myself.”
She flatly rejected him.
A cold smile spread across his face. “You’ll sort it out by calling the presidents of those companies and
using dishonorable means?”
The woman laughed. “You’re really going all out just to divorce me. You must’ve been busy changing
their minds.”
“You brought this upon yourself.” His tone was unfriendly. “I wouldn’t have gone this far if you hadn’t
been so rude to Sarah and kept entertaining those fond dreams of yours. I suggest you sign the papers
soon for peace of mind or I won’t mind taking my time to keep playing this game with you.”
“It seems like your pretentious girlfriend has been busy complaining,” she replied nonchalantly. “You can
keep playing all you want.”
Her nonchalant tone made him so furious that he almost threw his phone across the room.
Sure, she could be stubborn and smug all she wanted now. He could not wait to see the remorse on her
face in three days.
…
4:30 p.m.
Catherine noticed Manager Howard from the Marketing Department currying favors with Sarah when she
stepped out of the elevator.
Sarah quickly said when she approached, “Catherine, don’t misunderstand. Manager Howard and I are
only discussing work.”
Manager Howard raised her eyebrows. “Miss Neeson, you don’t have to explain yourself. Besides, today
might be Chairwoman Jones’ last day at this corporation.”
Catherine threw an indifferent glance at the manager.
Her confidence and domineering presence filled the room. The manager felt anxious for a quick second
before appearing nonchalant. Anyone could fake it until they made it.
“Catherine, they’re just chatting with me. You shouldn’t make things difficult for them just because you
hold a grudge against me.” Sarah positioned herself in front of the manager. She was implying that
Catherine would be correcting private wrongs at work if she fired Manager Howard.
“What are you still doing here?” Catherine replied flatly, “You can’t live a day without coming to put on a
show in front of me, huh?”
“I… I wasn’t.” Sarah suddenly appeared aggrieved as if she was about to cry. “I forgot to pass some
documents to Manager Howard when I left yesterday. That’s why I’m here today.”
“Manager Howard, go back to work after getting the documents. It’s still working hours. I don’t care if you
want to chat after hours.”
She could not be bothered to deal with these people and turned around with the intention to leave.
Unexpectedly, Sarah suddenly leaned forward to bump into her shoulders.
Immediately, Sarah staggered a few steps backward and fell to the ground.
“Sarah.”
A tall shadow rushed over to help the woman back on her feet.
Catherine understood everything within seconds.
She was grossed out by this overly fake performance.
“Shaunic, I didn’t know you’re here,” Sarah said immediately, “Don’t misunderstand. Catherine didn’t do
this on purpose.”
“Stop standing up for her. I saw with my own eyes that she deliberately bumped into you.” He glared
murderously at Catherine. “You haven’t changed a bit after three years. You’re still as cruel as before.
Hurry up and apologize.”
“…”
Catherine was speechless.
Hang on, was she not the one who had gotten bullied three years ago? How did she become the cruel
one now?
There was nothing else she could say.
However, she had experienced incidents like this far too many times for her to be furious over it again.
