A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 109

At seven o'clock the next morning, Catherine and Rome came downstairs, and the moment, they walked into the dining room, Madam Rosey rushed over to her granddaughter and hugged her affectionately.

After letting Catherine go, she smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, dear."

Feeling shocked, Catherine stared at her grandfather, and when he smiled at her, she felt even more confused.

"No news about the event that took place at yesterday's conference has been published. It's like nothing happened." Mr. Barlow said as he stood from his seat.

Then he approached Catherine, showed her his phone screen, and said, "But apparently, a reporter spotted you, Rome, and Mr. Ford leaving Skyhigh restaurant together. A photo of you guys was taken, and now, it's all every media is reporting on."

"The amazing last granddaughter of the Barlow family is spreading her wings in the business world, and she was spotted along with her husband, leaving Skyhigh restaurant with Mr. Ford, the big gun in the business circle." Catherine read as she stared at the first paragraph of the article.

At first, Rome was confused since he didn't know Mr. Ford had a plan of his own. Then he faintly smiled and thought, 'Thank you, Father.'

The grinned on Mr. Barlow's face slowly faded, and he sighed with remorse in his eyes.

"I can't believe it has been you all along," Mr. Barlow said, smiling at Catherine.

But out of confusion, she mumbled, "Uh?"

"What do you say about taking your uncle's place at the company and becoming second to me?"

"What?"

"I want you to take Elijah's seat on the board."

At that moment, Anthony and William walked into the room along with Jeff, Richard, and Charles.

"At last, it all worked in favor for you just as I suspected!" Jeff coldly said as he rested his back against the wall and crossed his right leg over the other.

Then when everyone gazed at him, he sighed and said, "Don't you see that she has been playing all of us all along, and we all willingly participated in her game!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mr. Barlow lashed out.

"Your granddaughter is the devil that has been raining down hell on all of us!"

"Catherine has done nothing wrong!"

"Tell me, who is still standing after we all have fallen?"

Even though he was considering Jeff's words, Mr. Barlow shouted, "Catherine is succeeding because her hands are not dirty like you all!"

"Right, our hands have been dirty from the very start, but we didn't fall like ants as we are doing now! Doesn't no one find it strange that she's the only one gaining from our failure!" Jeff said, withdrawing from the wall.

Pulling his brows together into a frown, Edward narrowed his eyes at Jeff.

But ignoring the look his uncle give him, he walked further into the living room and boldly intoned, "First, she ascends to Charles position, and…"

"Charles tried to sabotage my hard work and frame me! I didn't get to that position on my own. Grandfather was the one who put me there! I did nothing wrong!" Catherine straightforwardly uttered.

If it was in the past, she would have felt hesitant to defend herself, but after her little talk with Rome the morning before, she realized that she deserved to be where she was at in life.

"And why I got promoted to your position, that's because your ill action scared your clients away from you, and they wanted to sign with me!" Catherine continued with a straight face.
