Catherine finally figured out why everyone had looked at her in a strange manner just now.
A momentter, she walked out sulkily with the water she used to wash up. "It''s all your fault. Look at how m y lips are after you kissed me. How am I going to live this down?"
After ncing at her, Shaun was inwardly satisfied with what he had done. With a pale face, he moaned weakly. "Sorry. That was very careless of me. My body hurt too badlyst night, and it was my fault. Tonight, I''ll try to endure the pain and not trouble you."
Considering how feeble the handsome man looked, Catherine could not bring herself to criticize him at that moment.
Fine. She had no choice since it was painful for him.
When Hadley and Chase came at 9:00 a.m., they were shocked to see Catherine wearing a mask. "Cathy, why are you wearing a mask?"
"The hospital is crowded, so I think it''s safer to wear a mask," Catherine replied with a stern look. "I heard quite a lot of people have been infected with the flu recently." "Oh. Give me a mask then, Sister-inw. I want to
wear it to avoid being infected too." Chase immediately put on a mask as well.
Shaun, who was lying on the bed, was speechless, i
Hudson Corporation''s office.
When Jeffery received the attorney''s letter, he asked Reba toe over and subsequently gave her a piece of his mind.
"What on earth have you done? I struggled so hard to obtain the new property development project from them so that we could rake in the money yet you caused such a terrible mess shortly after you were elected. I''m vying for the chairman''s position at the end of the year. Can you not disrupt my ns?" 1
"Sorry, Dad. The sight of Catherine just made my blood boil, and I wanted to teach her a lesson."
Feeling aggrieved, Reba pouted. "But I didn''t expect that Shaun would make it in time to save her."
"Shaun again!" Jeffery gritted his teeth. "How did Catherine get to know this kind of person?"
"She must have slept with him."
Reba sighed. "I''ve investigated Shaun and realized that even those who are willing to spend a few hundreds of millions of dors might not get to hire him, much less Catherine who''s powerless."
Upon hearing that, Jeffery showed a look of disgust."
How despicable of her."
"Dad, Shaun keeps ruining our ns and is now even asking for a sky-highpensation fee from us. Let''s teach him a lesson." Reba gnashed her teeth." Anyway, he''s just awyer. What''s more, he''s a foreigner too."
"Don''t act rashly." Jeffery stared at her. "Shaun is too mysterious."
Reba responded with dissatisfaction, "Mysterious, so what? As awyer, he must have offended quite a lot of people over the years. It wouldn''t be a surprise if there are people who want to seek revenge on him..."
Jeffery was convinced by the idea. After a while, he shot aplicated gaze at his daughter. "Go and investigate all the cases he previously dealt with. By the way, have you settled the issue with the property management project?"
"Don''t worry. I''ve bribed the salesperson and worker with money. What happened at the construction site was merely an ident, but thepensation...”
"Just pay. We have to pay. We must not let Shaun make a big deal out of it."
Jeffery added discontentedly, "You should stop dwelling on the issue with Catherine. Now that you''ve broken up with Ethan, you should keep an eye out for other wealthy and reputable families."
"Okay." Reba dropped her gaze shyly, then said,"
Recently, I''ve been mingling with J at night, and her brother, Stephen, alwayses over. He seems to be interested in me."
Jeffery''s eyes lit up. Stephen Cambell was the Campbell family''s heir, which was an undisputed fact. Even Ethan was iparable to him.
In addition, the Campbell family had been riding high over the past few years. It would be great if the Jones family could be connected with them by marriage.
"Alright. You''re still a virgin in our family. You must capture Stephen''s heart." Jefferey burst outughing.
The next day.
In the ward.
The deputy general manager of Hudson came over in person with two checks.
