Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 629 That afternoon, Catherine was having lunch in the canteen when Shaun called. The manâs tone reeked of arrogance. âBeg me. Iâll sort out the matter with the construction companies for you if you agree to divorce me.â
âDonât worry. Iâll sort it out myself.â
She flatly rejected him.
A cold smile spread across his face. âYouâll sort it out by calling the presidents of those companies and using dishonorable means?â
The woman laughed. âYouâre really going all out just to divorce me. You mustâve been busy changing their minds.â
âYou brought this upon yourself.â His tone was unfriendly. âI wouldnât have gone this far if you hadnât 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 wonât mind taking my time to keep playing this game with you.â
âIt seems like your pretentious girlfriend has been busy complaining,â she replied nonchalantly. âYou can keep playing all you want.â
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.
â¦
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, âCatherine, donât misunderstand. Manager Howard and I are only discussing work.â
Manager Howard raised her eyebrows. âMiss Neeson, you donât have to explain yourself. Besides, today might be Chairwoman Jonesâ last day at this corporation.â
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.
âCatherine, theyâre just chatting with me. You shouldnât make things difficult for them just because you hold a grudge against me.â 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.
âWhat are you still doing here?â Catherine replied flatly, âYou canât live a day without coming to put on a show in front of me, huh?â
âI⦠I wasnât.â Sarah suddenly appeared aggrieved as if she was about to cry. âI forgot to pass some documents to Manager Howard when I left yesterday. Thatâs why Iâm here today.â
âManager Howard, go back to work after getting the documents. Itâs still working hours. I donât care if you want to chat after hours.â
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.
âSarah.â
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.
âShaunic, I didnât know youâre here,â Sarah said immediately, âDonât misunderstand. Catherine didnât do this on purpose.â
âStop standing up for her. I saw with my own eyes that she deliberately bumped into you.â He glared murderously at Catherine. âYou havenât changed a bit after three years. Youâre still as cruel as before.
Hurry up and apologize.â
ââ¦â
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.
