After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms novel Chapter 239

The weekend was finally here, and Catherine was ready to make the most of it.

“Dad, I’ve got plans with Lawrence today, so I won’t be coming home this weekend,” she announced, flashing Nestor a playful smile as he enjoyed his tea.

Nestor waved her off, clearly in a good mood. “Go on, have fun.”

She was just about to step out when he called her back. “Wait, come upstairs with me for a minute.”

Catherine hesitated, a little surprised. Why did her dad want her upstairs? Was he planning some kind of surprise for her?

As Nestor headed into the study, Alice slipped out of another room. She spotted Catherine and quietly moved to the window by the study, curiosity and suspicion all over her face.

Inside, Nestor crouched in front of the safe, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and pulled out a folder and a bank card.

Catherine recognized it right away. That was the card with the hundred million she’d given her dad as a wedding present.

Nestor handed it to her. “This is the wedding gift you gave me. I haven’t touched a cent of it. Take it back.”

Catherine’s eyes stung with emotion and she looked up at him, her throat tight. “Dad, just keep it. I really don’t need the money.”

“Use it to find a nice place with Lawrence downtown. Get yourselves a new place to live. And if it’s not enough, just let me know,” Nestor said, firmly placing the card back in her hand.

“Dad…” She could barely find the words. She hadn’t expected him to return such a big gift.

Then, Nestor picked up a contract from the desk. It was the same one he’d made her sign before, the one about giving up her mother’s twenty percent share in the company.

“This contract is void now. I’ll transfer your mom’s shares to your name,” he said, tearing the document in half on the spot.
