By the time Catherine concluded her meeting with Torrey, she was seething with sheer annoyance. Despite his success in provoking her, she had managed to keep her composure in front of him as expressing her anger was not an option she dared to consider.

Torrey's harsh words had left her stunned into silence, her heart racing in disbelief. She had stared at him for a moment, grappling with the weight of his statements, before finally excusing herself under the pretense of needing to visit Jordan. Torrey had permitted her to leave, but the damage was already done.

Now, she stood outside his office, fury coursed through her veins. Her resentment for the older man had only intensified after their conversation. She just couldn't believe him. How could he say such cruel things about his own grandson, her only son?

    Though his heart twisted with heartbreak, nonetheless, he grabbed a seat as she had ordered earlier. His ego was hurt but he tried to maintain his composure and managed the warm smile etched on his face. He was disappointed still. That wasn't the way he had expected her to act upon seeing him. How could she not flinch at seeing this handsome and charming man like him? The Alexa he used to know would've instantly complimented him whenever she noticed anything new about him. But this one, she acted so indifferently and it really plagued Jordan. He couldn't help but wonder if he'd ever be able to achieve his plans with this attitude of hers.
