Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 392
“It’s not that big of a deal, really. I don’t manage the company with my looks but with my capability,” Catherine replied half-jokingly. “Alright, let’s move on to discuss the progress of the ongoing projects in various places…”
The meeting ended an hour later.
Catherine returned to her office to find an invitation card from Melanie and Charlie on the desk. They were throwing an engagement ceremony in the Pavilion Intercontinental Hotel tomorrow.
What was Melanie trying to say with the invitation?
Just as she was thinking about this, she received a call from an unfamiliar number. “Elder Sister, have you seen my invitation card?”
“Don’t call me that. I don’t have a younger sister who tried to steal my husband.” Catherine could be confident with the marriage certificate on her side.
“You really have the cheek. Who’s the third party here?”
Melanie almost screamed out of anger but took a deep inhale instead. “Fine. I’ve finally found my happiness. You’re Dad’s daughter no matter what and nothing can change the fact that we share the same blood. I’m sure you’re not going to miss your younger sister’s engagement ceremony right?”
“I’ll definitely be there since you’ve kindly invited me.”
Melanie was startled by the unexpected positive reply. “You’re most welcome. Oh, by the way, I heard about your facial disfigurement. Don’t forget to wear a veil tomorrow. I don’t want you scaring off my guests. I look forward to seeing you.”
She hung up the call after a chuckle.
Catherine finally understood the intention. They were hoping for a chance to ridicule her.
However, she was not too bothered about what these insignificant people thought about her appearance.
Perhaps they would not be the ones feeling disgusted tomorrow.
…
Elle came to pick her up after work.
“Eldest Young Master is working overtime tonight, so he couldn’t pick you up.”
She explained after Catherine positioned herself in the backseat.
This caught the latter by surprise. She knew Shaun must have other investments even after being dismissed as the president of Hill Corporation. However, she seemed to know nothing at all about his current work affairs.
