“Don’t speak nonsense.”Jeffery jumped up like his tail had been stepped on. “Your grandmother died of illness.”“Yes, it’s a pity that Grandma was cremated. Otherwise, checking her corpse would be enough for us to discover her cause of death,” Catherine sneered, saying, “But I won’t let you off. I’ll definitely pay you back little by little all the pain I suffered, including Grandma’s share.”Then, she left the meeting room without looking back.When she went out, her body trembled with excitement.All along, she had been suppressed and bullied by the Jones family. She even almost lost her life several times. Starting today, she would become stronger to protect herself and the people around her....After returning to the chairwoman’s office.She immediately asked Kacey to go and bring over the relevant information about the company’s top management.“Chairwoman Jones, you don’t need to be in such a hurry. Eat something first. I’ll have the kitchen downstairs cook up a table
“Tell me about General Manager Chaplin.”Kacey nodded. “General Manager Chaplin has held an important position in the company for ten years. During his tenure, he increased the company’s profits by 10%, and the shareholders are very satisfied with him. If… If Chairman Jones wants to fire him, I’m afraid it’ll cause strong dissatisfaction among the shareholders.”“Alright, I understand. You can go out first.”Catherine fell silent.Next, she went to inspect the major departments of the company.Even until late evening, none of the senior management had come over.When it was dark, Catherine said to Elle, “Do me a favor and hire a private detective. I want to find out about something.”...7:00 p.m.Catherine went back to the villa with a pile of documents in her hands.Shaun sat in the living room wearing casual clothes with his arms crossed. He looked like a big shot, listening to Hadley as he reported something to him respectfully from the side.Catherine changed her shoes
Shaun walked into the kitchen with his hands in his pockets.Catherine was wearing a professional suit and exuded a clear, sharp aura, but at that moment, she was cooking dumplings for him in an apron. The warm kitchen lamp shone on her head, giving him an urge to conquer her.He walked over and hugged her gently from behind, resting his chin on her head. “Cook more. Those dumplings won’t be enough to satisfy me.”“It’s good enough that I’m cooking for you.” Catherine elbowed his chest mercilessly. “If you want to eat, then go cut the ingredients yourself.”Shaun seemed to have heard something unbelievable. “You dare to order me around?”Catherine thought about it before taking a card from her pocket and handing it over.“What’s this?”“There’s 500 million in it. It’s the fee for the lawsuit you took up for me before…”Catherine had not finished speaking when she felt a cold and suffocating aura. Shaun’s eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, causing frostbite.“What d
“No, answer me.” Catherine saw his expression and felt sour. She turned off the stove and pouted angrily. “If you don’t answer me, I won’t cook dumplings for you.”“I’ve only dated once.” Shaun did not expect her to be so jealous and was speechless.“Do you still have some feelings for her? Your face when you mention her is strange.”Catherine chatted on. Her happy mood dissipated immediately.“She’s dead.” Shaun frowned. Catherine froze, suddenly not knowing what to say. “I’m sorry.”“Stop bringing up the past. Didn’t you also date Ethan Lowe before?” Shaun reminded gloomily.Catherine could not say anything and simply turned on the stove again obediently.Shaun stuffed the card back into her pocket and went out.Only in hindsight did Catherine remember that she had asked him to cut the ingredients but he simply left. Scoundrel! Slacker!After dinner, Catherine pestered him to take out the agreement. Shaun could not win against her and could only take it out.“You can tear
“Catherine Jones, you’re insane!” Rebecca screamed and subconsciously rushed to counterattack.Elle then gave another slap to the other side of her face, causing Rebecca to be unable to say anything from the pain.She glared viciously at Catherine but did not dare to step forward again.Catherine grinned. “I can even hit Jeffery, much less you. If you don’t watch your words next time, I’ll beat you until you learn your lesson.”Then, she pushed Rebecca to the side and walked away while smiling.Rebecca held her cheeks, hatred burning in her eyes.‘Catherine Jones, just wait and see. I’ll kill you personally one day.’...3:00 p.m.On the 17th floor of the building, a meeting was being held.The general manager, Larry Chaplin, sat at the head of the table, followed by the senior management of Hudson.Deputy Manager Wolfe said, “General Manager Chaplin, Chairwoman Jones just took over the position. Is it really okay not to call her over for the first weekly meeting?”“Who doe
“Let’s continue the meeting. What were you guys talking about?” Catherine interrupted him and looked at the crowd expressionlessly.“We were talking about the design for the developmental project. Manager Jones came up with some designs. General Manager Chaplin and the rest of us feel that they’re quite good.” Deputy Manager Wolfe handed over the designs awkwardly.Rebecca’s heart thumped. She never thought that Catherine would appear. Catherine would definitely recognize the designs.However, it did not matter. Even if Catherine said that Rebecca stole the designs, no one would believe her. Instead, it would only provoke the executives into ridiculing her.Catherine took the designs and then whispered a few words to Elle.After Elle nodded and walked out, Catherine continued, “The designs are good. They were even printed at 1:00 a.m. this morning. Manager Jones, you must’ve stayed up late designing these.”“Yes, Manager Jones said she hadn’t slept in several days.”“Manager Jon
Larry’s expression was nasty. “If Chairman Jones doubts my ability, then remove me if you can.”He looked straight at Catherine when he finished speaking. He did not believe that she had the courage to do so. The board of directors would not spare her.“How could that be? General Manager Chaplin has boosted the company’s performance by quite a lot. Naturally, I believe in you.” Catherine suddenly smiled. “This meeting will be handed to you to wrap up.”Then, she finished speaking and left.Larry looked at her back in disdain. Who did she think she was? He was much more experienced than her.However, just after Catherine left, his wife suddenly burst in and slapped him in the face.“Larry Chaplin, you son of a b*tch! How dare you have a mistress outside?“If I hadn’t married you back then, would you have been able to enter Hudson?“Now that you’re putting on airs, do you think that I’m too old and unattractive to you? I’ll fight it out with you.”“...”...News of the commoti
“It doesn’t matter as long as she likes it. By the way, Rebecca Jones is in prison. Make sure to treat her well.”Shaun’s eyes flashed with cold intent.All the suffering Rebecca had caused Catherine would be returned to her in prison....The next day, word of Hudson’s general manager’s affair spread throughout the whole network.Larry Chaplin was furious. His reputation was completely destroyed.The photos of him making out with his mistress in public were all over the place, and even the video of him beating his wife was circulated.Tens of thousands of comments on the internet were criticizing him every day.In the chairwoman’s office, General Manager Chaplin barged in angrily and pointed at Catherine’s nose. “Did you do this? You spread the video in the meeting room, didn’t you?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Catherine sat in her chair with a regretful expression. “General Manager Chaplin, I never expected you to be such a man. You’ve disappointed us too much.
