Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 532

After having three cigarettes, Catherine made up her mind.

It was the first time that she had smoked, yet she had not the slightest uncomfortable feelings. She felt addicted, like an old smoker. It seemed to be the only way to get paralyzed.

After finishing a bottle of wine, Catherine leaned back on the sofa a little wearily.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, and the warm pictures she saw through the live broadcast tonight flashed in her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Catherine felt abandoned, fooled, and betrayed.

After a while, Linda's image came to her mind again.

Linda cleaned up her room and the wine cabinet without being asked to and filled her refrigerator with drinks. What a loyal girl!

Catherine helped Linda, and Linda tried her best to pay back Catherine’s kindness.

Sighing, Catherine picked up her phone and called Linda.

Linda was crying in her small apartment. She needed money, but she had no idea where to get it.

She sat behind the door with her hands around her knees, helpless.

Her phone rang. She didn’t know who would call.

Wiping her tears, she took out her phone, thinking it was Jennifer calling to ask about work. But it was an unfamiliar number.

The ringing continued...

She was in a bad mood, but she still answered, "Hello?" She tried to control her emotions.

"Linda, have you gone to the bed?" A familiar voice came over.

"Catherine?" Linda asked in disbelief, "Is it you?"

"It's me," Catherine said. "Let's meet at the Cafe at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Catherine, where are you?" Linda was worried about her. "Has Leslie's people found you? Are you safe now? I’ve told Mr. Marsh what happened to you!"

Catherine’s heart tightened. She asked curiously, "What did you tell Ivan?"

"Yes. No, I mean…" Linda explained quickly, "I said that they threatened you with a knife on your neck and forced you to sign your name. And I also said..."

"What else?" Catherine went on asking, curious about Ivan's reaction.
