At that moment, her phone vibrated. She took a look at the caller ID, and her eyes instantly lit up.
She speedily answered the call. “Hello, Earl.”
“Catherine, you have ten minutes to see me in Winters Corporation!”
The phone was then hung up.
Catherine‘s face turned pale because of his profound and cold voice.
But she dared not disobey him.
She quickly went downstairs and took a taxi to Winters Corporation.
As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she felt strange gazes from all directions, as if countless
people were criticizing her.
“Look, there‘s the mistress.”
“The mistress who interfered between Mr. Winters and Mdm. Winters.”
“How can she still shamelessly come to Winters Corporation ?”
“If she was not shameless, she wouldn‘t have ended up as the mistress.”
Amid all the discussions, Catherine quickly walked into the elevator.
She gritted her teeth tightly so that she did not mentally collapse.
She gained fame when she was a teenager, as a world renowned psychiatrist. She used to go in and
out of the palace to treat the princess, and her reputation was greatly boosted.
She was always a respected person, but because Adina, that bitch, had put on an act in front of the
media, her reputation was completely discredited, and she became a street rat.
Catherine took a deep breath and walked out of the elevator.
As soon as she got to the door of the CEO‘s office, she was dragged inside by an arm, and her neck
was strangled.
“Help… help…”
Catherine widened her eyes while staring at the man in disbelief.
She strongly struggled, but she was slowly losing oxygen. Suffocation came over her like a tidal wave,
and her body slowly grew– limp.
She experienced the taste of death for the first time.
Earl coldly let go of her.
Then, she fell to the carpet and breathed heavily.
“Say, what did Adina talk to you about yesterday?”
Catherine covered her neck, and she slowly said, “She asked me not to see you again… Cough! She
didn‘t allow me to find trouble with her kids… That‘s all.”
Earl violently raised his leg and gave her a kick.
Catherine flew out like a yellow leaf in the autumn, and she was slammed against the wall.
She used to see Earl hurting other people, but she was just a bystander at that time, so she did not
think much of it.
But she was the miserable victim now.
She always thought that Earl would treat her slightly differently, no matter how cold and heartless he
was.
But she had been absolutely wrong. In fact, she was not different from those people who stood up
against him in his eyes.
If this was not Winters Corporation but a dark place without any law, Earl would have killed her just
now.
She thought of Adina‘s warning yesterday. Adina had asked her to leave Sea City as soon as possible,
but she had not bothered with the suggestion.
She finally understood why Adina would say that.
“Catherine , you have only one last chance. If you don‘t say it, you‘ll not exist in the world from now on.”
Earl sat on the chair while looking down at her, as if he was watching a dead dog.
“Earl, I was also forced by Adina to a dead end. She purposely tricked me into talking…” Catherine
cried and said, “I‘m sorry. I shouldn‘t have told her that you sent Duke to Hestia Border. She doesn‘t
believe that Duke is dead. She should‘ve gone over there to look for Duke…”
“Get lost!”
Earl instantly kicked Catherine away.
His eyes became extremely cold. “Arden, come in!”
Arden did not know what was going on, so he hurriedly pushed the door and went in.
