The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 666

"I know."

Catherine had thought it through carefully. If she didn't sign this contract, Hammer would use her lack of progress as an excuse to fire her without severance.

The most pressing issue right now wasn't the Lee family making things difficult, but preventing Hammer from terminating her contract.

"Then... I'll head to the airport and grab the seal for you," Gavin offered, quickly changing his tune. "If you make the round trip, it'll be pitch black by the time you get home. Lanny is still waiting for you."

It was currently two-thirty in the afternoon. A round trip to the airport would take Catherine at least two hours.

If she was lucky, she'd find it right away. If not, it would waste even more time.

"Alright, call me when you find it. I'll pick it up from your place tomorrow."

Ending the call, Catherine drove toward home.

Halfway there, her phone rang. It was a FaceTime request from Alexa.

She was driving and couldn't answer. Plus, she was almost home anyway, so she simply declined the call.

Back at the house.

Alexa stared at the rejected call screen and looked at Lance. "Lance, Catherine didn't answer. I don't know if she's just on her way back or too busy to pick up."

"Call her again—"

Belinda and Sophia hadn't left yet. Lance didn't want to take any chances; it was best to figure out exactly when Catherine would be home.

Before he could finish his sentence, Belinda interrupted him.

"Why keep calling? She's obviously busy. If she were on her way home, wouldn't she just answer the video call?"

She didn't want to leave, and Sophia quickly backed her up. "Exactly! Things are super busy at Golden Horizon Enterprises. She already said she wouldn't be back this afternoon. It's not like we can force her to come home early."

Lance shot them a dark look, silently taking his phone and stepping out into the sunroom.
