Ivan handed in his pockets and pursed his lips. With cold eyes, he quickly walked into the office.
"Let me explain! It's not what it looked like!" Catherine quickly followed. "I'm not sure how this happened!"
However she tried to explain, this would stick with her forever, being a stigma of her life.
As Finnley passed by the stairwell, he heard the sound of children laughing and giggling from inside the door.
He stopped and pressed his ear to the door.
"Good job. She deserved it. How dare she speak ill of Mommy!"
"She looked like a clown today, and she was too foolish to marry Dad. It's so funny!"
"Alfie, you're great!"
"I must teach her a lesson for Mommy! If she really becomes our stepmother, we'll definitely be in trouble."
As the door was pushed open, the children were startled.
"Finnley?" The children stood up, calmed down, and blinked their starry eyes at Finnley.
"What did you do?" Finnley heard what they said.
Alfie put the tablet behind him, and Diana did the same with the phone.
Finnley understood that they must have done something.
"By the way, Finnley, you are going to talk to the Mayon about collaboration at ten o'clock, right?" Alfie asked for confirmation.
Finnley was puzzled. "How did you know this?"
Seeing the tablet behind Alfie, Finnley put on a solemn face. "You hacked your dad's system again, right?"
"No." Alfie denied it, "Is it tricky? I can help you! Just take us there!"
Finnley did not dare to risk it. "It's none of your business. I will deal with it myself."
