Those words seemed like a bomb that sounded beside Catherine''s ears.


    Even so, Catherine found herself unexpectedly calm.


    The truth finally hit her. It was no wonder Sally treated her more icily and strictly since she was young. Catherine had always assumed that Sally was a n inherently unfriendly mother, but when Reba returned, she saw the other side of Sally.


    She had long since suspected that she was an orphan without parents, yet she refused to believe it.


    The truth turned out to be nastier than she had imagined.


    Her family actually hated her and had the thought of abandoning her.


    Hah.


    "Do you know that you''ve always disgusted me?"


    Reba tapped her pretty little face. "I suffered so much during the abduction, but what about you? You took my ce and lived in luxury. Even handsome men like Ethan chased after you...


    "But now, I''m left with nothing, and I won''t snatch things that belong to you."


    It dawned on Catherine that Reba was not just a hypocrite and an angelic b*tch. In fact, she had distorted thinking.


    "But you humiliated me again and again. I lost my fiance, and what''s more, Summit has been sold off. Do you think I''ll let you off the hook?"


    Reba scoffed. She took out a bottle of medicine. "Do you think Shaun will still help you even after watching you get ruined by another man? Do you think Wesley and Ethan will still go after you?"


    "You''re nuts, Reba. You''ll get karma for this."


    Catherine began to scream harsh words at Reba and struggled violently. Nevertheless, the two men behind her seized her so tightly that she could not move at all.


    "Karma?" Reba said indifferently, "I''m Hudson''s First Young Lady. Who has the audacity to provoke m e? Even if it''s Shaun, I''m going to make him pay bit by bit."


    As soon as she finished speaking, she winked at the men behind her. At that moment, Catherine felt her mouth being forced open. Some liquid was subsequently poured into her mouth. 1


    She choked so badly that her face reddened. She felt like vomiting, but she failed to do so.


    Reba picked up the sketches one by one from the ground. After looking at them, she giggled. "These


    designs are great. Thank you. I''m going to ept them."


    "You''re such a despicable person. What else can you do apart from snatching someone else''s things?"


    Dissatisfied, Catherine began to criticize her.


    "Yeah. I enjoy snatching things. What can you do about it?" Reba gave the two men a wink. "Have a good time with her. You guys must satisfy her, alright?"


    With that, Reba left with Mr. Frank.


    After watching the door close, Catherine felt that her body was burning all of a sudden.


    Previously, she had let Shaun consume such a drug. However, she could not fully understand his pain at that time. Now, shepletely understood it.


    The men walked toward her while rubbing their hands.


    The men used to serve as bodyguards to some rich people. They had heard of Catherine''s name and even met her before. Since they were just bodyguards though, they could not covet Catherine, the most beautifuldy from a wealthy family in Melbourne. Little did they expect that they would be offered the chance today. How wonderful!


    "Don''te near me."


    Catherine staggered backward in fear. She took out her phone to call Shaun. However, the moment she took it out, someone snatched her phone and tossed it aside.


    "Gosh, don''t you see what''s going on? Nobody will be able to save you."


    One of the men threw himself into her arms first.


    Wesley was going to attend a social activity along with his assistant. At the staircase, he happened to catch sight of Reba and a middle-aged man walking out of a private room and heading toward the elevator.


    The middle-aged man pressed the elevator button for Reba in a polite manner. He even let her enter the elevator first, acting just like a servant.


    Wesley''s assistant asked curiously, "Hey, isn''t he Mr. Frank, the manager of the nning department? It''s surprising to see him behaving courteously toward that woman." 1


    Wesley narrowed his eyes. He could recognize Reba at first nce. Considering that Summit had fallen from power, why would someone from Hudson treat her so courteously?


    It then struck him that Joseph had told him Catherine was busy dealing with someone from Hudsontely. Apparently, she was trying to take on the project regarding the design of the houses. As he thought over it, he felt that there was something fishy going on.
