Chapter <b>149 </b>All of a sudden
“What? What are you saying?“Catherine’s disbelief was palpable, Her fabricated tears still lingering.
“I’m saying, we’re done, “Andrew dered, taking a final drag of his cigarette before extinguishing it in the ashtray. His entire
manner radiated frustration.
“Why? Why all of a sudden?“She was utterly confused, clutching his hand. “No, I can’t ept this.”
“You don’t have a say in this!” Andrew pulled his hand away with patience.“Catherine, you’ve been expelled from Bellbanks University. You’re just a high school graduate now. My family, the Kings, can’t ept someone like that as a daughter–inw. What do you have thatpares to Rence? Your actions have further embarrassed me in front of Marcelo and Renee!”
Andrew looked at Catherine as though he had been misled into choosing a wed product.
Renee, a distinguished alumna of Bellbanks University, had been atop student with an array of honors. Just her intelligence and beauty alone made her far superior to Catherine.
How had he allowed someone like Marcelo, who has a disability, to win over her?
Gary and Felicia had also insisted he end things with Catherine as soon as her problems began. They would never ept her as a daughter–inw.
“Andrew, you can’t be this cruel. You were the one who left Renee for me!“Catherine was struggling to ept the situation. Andrew had the audacity topare her unfavorably to Renee?
She huffed, “Yes! I might have been expelled, but what about you? You purchased your degree. You’ve been involved in all sorts of fraud. You are also nothingpared to…”
Triggered, Andrew didn’t let her finish. He grabbed her hair and mmed her head against the car window. “Say that again, bitch?”
Only when Catherine met Andrew’s angry eyes did shee back to her senses, realizing that she had talked too freely.She should be begging him.
She had endured so much to keep him. Even endured him calling her Renee a lot of times.
She couldn’t lose him now.
“S–sorry, I didn’t mean it,Drew!” Scared and anxious,Catherine tried to salvage the situation by leaning forward and pressing her lips against his.
She hoped that doing so would disarm him.
“Get the fuck out of my car!” But to her dismay, Andrew shoved her off of him and roared, “You and I are done, you hear me? Done!”
Just looking at this stupid woman pissed him off.
Catherine got out of the car and stood by the road in a daze. Andrew had mmed her head into the window earlier, and she only started to feel the stinging pain now.
She shakily touched her forehead and winced, finding that there was a big bump.
That was thest straw. Angry and humiliated, Catherine burst into sobs.
nic prowess to her
She managed to get epted into the country’s top university, but before she could even showcase her a fans as a straight–A student, she was expelled from the school. To add insult to injury, Andrew broke up with her in the worst
way.
In the span of one day, she had lost everything!

Sobbing uncontrobly, she dialed Grace’s number and cried, “Mon, the school <b>still </b>wants <b>to </b>expel me, and Andrew just broke up with me…Mom, I don’t want to leave him! What should I do? I feel so alone…”
The reason why she didn’t want to let go of Andrew was that he was her best option right now.
“Baby, don’t <b>cry</b>. Mommy’s here. I’ll help you!”
Renee had specifically bought an Audi because it was low–key, also because it was a cheap car, it couldn’t withstand the collision with the Maybach.
If she had known this would happen, she would’ve bought a heavy duty vehicle instead.
If she had gotten a Jeep or a Hummer, then she would’ve liked to see whose car would be totaled in the collision!
Thest thing Renee wanted was to get into the Maybach with Marcelo, but her car waspletely out ofmission now. Besides, there was no telling what Marcelo would do next if she dared to disobey him again.
Students had been eyeing the luxurious car ever since it was parked, so naturally<b>, </b>they had witnessed the collision.
Not wanting to argue with him in front of all these people, Renee gritted her teeth and yanked the door to the driver’s seat open, got in the car, and mmed the door shut.
She started the engine and sped off like a bolt of lightning, exceeding the speed limit.
Fortunately, it wasn’t rush hour, so there were very few cars on the road. Renee pushed the car to its limit and raced down the highway, as though to vent her anger.
The screech of the wheels scratching against the pavement sounded particrly harsh whenever Renee swerved the car, though it had to be said that she was quite good at driving. Her skills matched that of even a professional race car driver!
She treated the Maybach like it was a sports car.
Marcelo was stunned for a moment.
He had no idea that she knew how to drive like this.
But he soon calmed down, because on second thought, it wasn’t surprising that the seemingly obedient and lovely Renee could maneuver a car like this.
Renee tried to make Marcelo carsick with her wild driving, but when she nced at him<b>, </b>she saw that he lookedpletely calm and unaffected.
This man!
Feeling bored, she parked the car by the river.
She opened the door and was about to get out for some fresh air.
After all, she was extremely pissed at the man sitting beside her.
But just as the door was opened a crack, a shadow shed in front of her eyes.
The man had reached out in front of her and closed her door in the blink of an eye.
“What the hell?!” Renee couldn’t stand it anymore and nearly roared in his ear. “It’s just a damn offer. Why won’t you let me go? And who said I had toe see you whenever I visit yourpany? When the contract expires, I’ll be free to do whatever I want. Do you really think I’d willingly sell myself to you after cooperating with the KM Group?”
With the doors locked and the windows rolled up, only the sound of Renee’s voice could be heard inside the <b>car</b>.
Marcelo had almost forgotten that she had refused his offer.
Al of a sudden
The reason why he was so worked up wasn’t just because she didn even bother to look for him at thepany, but that she looked for Howard!
Frowning, he said, “Renee<b>, </b>Harvillston is your best option.”
Harvillston was a world–ss brand, and other brands of the same level wouldn’t hire Renee to be their chief designer.
All of a sudden, Renee cracked a smile at him. “You’re not wrong; Harvillston is indeed excellent. But if Vivian wanted to join Harvillston, would you let her?”
