“Shut up.” Anderson’s face was full of fury. He gripped Catherine’s neck and squeezed.
“Anderson Clark, you’ll never be able to learn how to love! Your children will hate you as you’ve hated your father... ahem... ahem...”
The strength on her throat increased. Catherine’s eyes became tearful. However, there was no trace of sadness on her face or eyes, but instead, they were full of the wile smile.
She knew that she had poked at Anderson’s sore spot.
He used to verbally abused her so many times. It was not because that she couldn’t fight back, but that she still loved him back then. Now she didn’t love him anymore and she wouldn’t love him again, so she could poke his sore spot without any sense of guilt. Instead, she felt a sickly sense of revenge.
In the end, Anderson strode out, smashing the door close behind him.
Seeing his receding back, Catherine knew what she had won this round.
As soon as he left, the woman who was obviously joyful suddenly felt emptiness and boring in her heart.
Catherine got out of the bed. She walked into the bathroom and watched the woman in the mirror. There were black and blue bruises on her fair neck -- it was the trace left by him.
Her lips curled up into a sneer.
After Anderson walked out of the room, Catherine didn’t want to stay long in Ziting Villa. She was afraid that if that man went nuts again and forced her to stay. After straightening herself up, she was about to go home.
When she went downstairs, she found that Anderson didn’t go out. Instead, he was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Without greeting him, Catherine walked straight to the door. At the door, she was stopped by his bodyguards.
With a cold face, one of them said to her like a robot, “Miss Johnson, you can’t leave now.”
Catherine turned around and looked at the man on the sofa. “Anderson Clark, what are you...”
“Andy, here I am!”
Before Catherine could finish her question, a coquettish and enchanting voice rang out from the door. Without turning around, she knew it was Sienna.
When passing by Catherine, Sienna smiled at her provokingly.
With a cold look, Catherine ignored her completely.
Ignored, Sienna felt quite uncomfortable. She couldn’t understand why Catherine could be still so arrogant after she was put in jail and her family was doomed.
However, she didn’t show anything on her face. Instead, she smiled at Catherine and greeted her, “Hi Catherine, you are here, too. Are you here to visit Sophie and Lincoln?”
Knowing that Catherine would ignore her, Sienna added, “Please don’t worry about the children. Andy and I will take good care of them.”
She sounded as if she had become the hostess of Ziting Villa.
Catherine looked at her expression change so hypocritically and felt stomach-turning. She glanced at Sienna with disdain and said calmly, “You should save such words until you’ve married to him. Now you are talking like the hostess. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll get a slap in your face?”
As soon as Catherine finished her words, the tenderness on Sienna’s face faded totally. With a twisted look, she said, “Catherine Johnson, you...”
Before she could finish her words, Anderson’s voice rang out. “Sienna, come over.”
Sienna’s twisted face changed to have a gentle and complacent smile in an instant. She hurried trotted to Anderson and called him in a sweet tone, “Andy!”
Then she rested her head on Anderson’s shoulder like an obedient woman, looking quite happy and gentle.
Catherine’s hands clenched into fists. She knew that the man was revenging her, but she couldn’t help feeling a pain in her heart.
When Sienna put her hand on him, Anderson wanted to wave it away subconsciously. Seeing Catherine standing not far away, he forced him to tolerate it.
“Andy, did you miss me?” Sienna’s coquettish voice echoed in the whole living room and everyone in the living room had heard it.
