The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 678

"He went to find me?" Catherine had assumed Lance showing up there was just a coincidence.

"Oh, didn't he come back with you? Why didn't he come in at the same time?"

Seeing Lance stepping out of Catherine's car, Susan headed back into the kitchen to scoop a bowl of rice for him, too.

Catherine clutched her fork, mindlessly pushing the food around her plate. A million thoughts were swirling through her head, yet her mind simultaneously felt completely blank.

"You're going to scrape a hole through the plate at this rate."

Lance pulled out the chair next to hers and sat down, tapping his knuckles lightly against the table.

Snapping back to reality, she quickly shoveled some food into her mouth, completely avoiding his gaze.

"The contract between the Lee Group and Golden Horizon Enterprises has been signed."

Lance's tone had returned to normal, smoothly shifting to business. "You came over from SilverLeaf Industries. You used to be the person closest to me, and you're still with me now. Hammer isn't going to let you stay at Golden Horizon for long; he'll do everything in his power to drive you out."

The word 'drive' was putting it far too kindly when it came to a man like Hammer.

He didn't just want to kick her out; he wanted to frame her, forcing her to pay an astronomical penalty fee.

And behind this malicious plot was the full backing of the Lee family.

She had no idea what kind of under-the-table deal they had struck.

But right now, Catherine was caught between a rock and a hard place.

"I know." She set her fork down and looked at him. "It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a stab in the dark. Something's bound to happen sooner or later, so I'm planning to bide my time and strike first."

Lance lazily lifted his gaze to meet hers.

"And how exactly are you going to do that?"

She thought about it for a second. "I haven't figured it all out yet. But don't worry, all those years working alongside you weren't for nothing. I won't embarrass you."
