The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 675

"It's not too late to admit your mistake."

Adela immediately chimed in to pressure her. "If you really end up in prison, facing hundreds of millions in debt, who's going to help you? Lance? He might have a soft spot for you and helped you out once, but he absolutely won't foot a bill that massive for you!"

Catherine remained silent, watching the flames devour the paper.

"I bet Lance is already regretting getting involved in our family drama. Why else do you think he hasn't made a move against the Lee family? Are you really so delusional that you think you can still fight us?!"

Adela continued turning the screws.

Lately, they had only dared to pull petty tricks in the shadows, terrified of a direct confrontation with Lance.

But over all this time, aside from moving Catherine and her son into his place, Lance hadn't actually done anything to the Lee family.

They figured Catherine jumping ship to Golden Horizon Enterprises and tangling with Gavin must have pissed Lance off.

That assumption had finally given Geoffrey the courage to make a bolder move and partner directly with Golden Horizon Enterprises.

"I heard Adelina and her mother are staying at the Lee family estate."

Catherine finally spoke, her voice remarkably calm. "Did they pull some strings to connect you with Hammer?"

Adela's face darkened slightly as she glanced at Geoffrey.

"Now that you mention it, I almost forgot you're still a massive thorn in their side," Geoffrey sneered.

Geoffrey tilted the burning envelope to slow the flames. "Enough talk. Call Lance right now. Tell him you're bringing the boy back to the Lee family."

Catching the flicker of displeasure on Adela's face, Catherine smirked.

"Let it burn. I'd rather rot in prison than return to your family."

She grabbed her purse and strode toward the door.

The second her back was turned, Geoffrey frantically snuffed out the fire.

Adela scrambled out of her chair and chased after her.
