Was it because he was feeling guilty and did not dare to pick up her phone call?When she was panicking, her phone rang.She thought it was from her cousin and pressed the answer button happily. She then realized it was not her cousin but was a completely strange number…However, the voice of the person was not unfamiliar! She had been to Ocean Path Residence to look for Catelyn and the voice who told her the address was this exact one! …In the car, Catelyn took out a bottle of water from the car compartment and gulped it empty. She then flipped open the documents that she did not finish going through. She was very focused. Even if the light was not bright enough, her eyes were still glittering. Cedrick forced himself to look away so as not to disturb her. When she finished organizing her train of thoughts and placed the documents back into her bag, he only said, "Do you know why Pentaland picked on you?"Catelyn shook her head, "Perhaps we were too high profile about t
"I was always skeptical toward Granny Atherton. Now that I think about it, she is pretty pitiful too. She is already so old, but someone is still trying to use the person she cares about most to lie to her…"Catelyn herself also felt that things did not add up at first, but now that she connected the dots with Quinn, everything made sense. She also felt overwhelmed by it. Other than that, she was concerned about Stella. Stella thought Quinn was sincere toward her and was delightfully planning to make amends for her. However, Quinn ditched Stella right away and went to be Miss Atherton instead. There was also something else that Catelyn could not understand. Quinn did not have any foundation, but how did she make it to become Miss Atherton?Even if someone within the Atherton family intended to get a fake girl to fool Granny Atherton, why would they choose Quinn?Cedrick did not expect Quinn to turn over a new leaf overnight and decided to get someone to do a thorough inves
After handling the more trivial tasks, Catelyn sent the only supplier an email to clarify the issue. Hunter had abandoned all responsibility and steered clear of the incident, and she could not pretend like she was unaware of the situation.This was the worst crisis to the reputation of her company since the formaldehyde incident.Before she could settle the issue with the press, she had to make sure that she did not lose the trust of her only supplier. She promised that if the situation was not resolved within two weeks, she was willing to pay an extra 10 percent of the liquidated damages.After sending the email, Catelyn randomly scrolled through the comments on social media and saw countless negative posts about VSA Group.The press had recorded the video of when the firemen came to the rescue and edited the video before uploading it online. They pointed a blaming finger at Catelyn, claiming that she was the architect of the company and yet hid when something happened, leaving h
Catelyn set up the alarm and glanced at Cedrick, only to notice that he was blushing. Shocked, she asked, "Cedrick, are you running a fever? Why do you look so flushed?"She kicked her shoes off and crawled onto the bed, placing her warm palm on his forehead. As she did, the faint scent of gardenias she emitted instantly assaulted his senses."I think you might have a fever. Hang on, I'll grab the thermometer," she mumbled and reached into the drawer under the nightstand.In the end, she frantically put on her sweater and jacket before fleeing from the bedroom. She reached up to touch her face and was relieved that she herself was not red in the face....Completely losing the urge to go back to sleep, Cedrick went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. By the time he went downstairs, Catelyn had just finished her sandwich and was changing her shoes by the porch with traces of milk on the corner of her mouth.Cedrick picked up the car keys. "I'll give you a lift.""It's fine," C
Just when Catelyn was about to step through the building entrance, a woman in ragged clothing darted out from an alley."You heartless enterprises! My daughter died from cancer because she lived in one of your formaldehyde-packed apartments, and you're now selling houses again with no guarantee that they're safe! Profiteers! I'll kill you..." She cursed while taking rotten eggs from her bag to throw at Catelyn.The reporters instantly scattered to snap photos of Catelyn and the woman.The scene of the victim throwing rotten eggs at a director of VSA Group would surely make the headlines!The eggs were tossed into the air and darted toward Catelyn, so she instinctively covered her face with her arms.Thunk!The appalling scent of rotten eggs filled the air, but Catelyn did not feel anything on her arm. She opened her eyes slightly, only to find a towering figure standing before her.Cedrick had run out and shielded Catelyn with both his arms open protectively, so the rotten eggs
"She lost her daughter. How are you going to compensate for her loss? Is the life of a living human being something that can be replaced by money to you profiteers? That's someone's life!"I'm going to write about every detail once I get back so that everyone knows what VSA Group is truly like!"You should all be in jail, so no one would fall victim to your wrongdoings!"Someone in the crowd shouted and provoked the rest of the reporters in an instant. They all glared at Catelyn in disgust as though she was the one who built the apartments and killed someone.Catelyn ignored them and continued to stare at the woman. "If I'm not mistaken, I remember that the person who got cancer from staying in one of the apartments was a man. Madam, are you mistaken, perhaps? Could your daughter be living in another residential building?""I... I remember nothing wrong! It's your building!""In that case, we've made a mistake and failed to compensate you. Please tell me the apartment type and nu
If she told Catelyn the name, they would investigate the cause of death.Catelyn studied the woman's expression and noticed that she was out of words. Thus, she proceeded to assure the press, "The safety issues that had happened during the construction were indeed the responsibility of VSA Group, and we hereby extend our deepest regret and apologies, but we've already come to a decision: If the project doesn't meet its safety requirement, we'll tear it all down and build it all over again."We apologize for the inconvenience we've caused the public and are willing to compensate for the loss tenfold. VSA Group has a history of over a hundred years since it started in Franche, and the Sapphire City branch has faced a crisis with its reputation before due to the failings in management. We've reflected upon our failures, are dedicated to maintaining our moral commitment, and are determined to not repeat our mistakes."To make up for our mistakes, we promise that when the new units are r
Pentaland Group announced that Louis and Lola were their new ambassadors and reposted the announcement on various social media platforms.Lola requested them to do so and even purposely spread rumors that she was dating Louis when the poster was released to increase her popularity.To her bewilderment, Louis's female admirers were not happy with it. They all started leaving comments that said Lola was not a match for Louis because she was too ugly; some even went as far as to dig into her background and said that Lola had been abandoned by the Atherton Family.Lola did not care about other comments, but the one that said she was abandoned by the Atherton Family had offended her deeply. Anger had taken hold of her senses, and she immediately replied to the comment viciously.However, she had forgotten to switch to her anonymous account before doing so, and her post had been screenshotted even though she deleted it right away.Swarmed by negative comments, Lola simply handed her soc
