The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 681

A flash of heartache crossed Adela's impeccably made-up face. "Come back to the Lee family with me. I won't let him bully you, and I definitely won't let your child be adopted under Lemuel's name. I'll help you secure the Lee family's fortune. How could that possibly be considered a bother?"

"If you really want to help me," Catherine said, "then expose Geoffrey's crimes so I'm not fighting an uphill battle at every turn!"

"So, you still don't believe me?" Adela clutched her chest. "We are talking about billions of dollars! Do you truly have no interest, or do you just not trust your own mother?"

Her so-called guilt was nothing more than a ploy to win Catherine's trust, treating her as a mere tool in the battle for the family estate.

Every word out of her mouth revolved around money.

Meanwhile, Catherine's every thought was anchored in the pathetic hope for genuine familial love.

They were on completely different wavelengths. Communication was impossible.

Catherine opened the door and strode out. No matter how desperately Adela pleaded behind her, she remained entirely unmoved.

The autumn rain fell suddenly. Catherine hurried out of the club, using her jacket to shield her head as she sprinted to her car and drove away.

Behind her, a black Porsche Cayenne slowly tailed her.

"Boss, Catherine is out," Aaron reported.

Aaron kept his eyes on the road as he spoke to Lance.

Sitting in the back seat, Lance finally tore his gaze away from his laptop screen and glanced out the window.

"What's the situation with the Green family?"

"I followed your instructions and notified Daniel. Sarah and Adelina are currently with the Lee family, and Daniel is already on a flight to Eldervale."

Aaron paused for a moment before adding, "However, I doubt Daniel has what it takes to actually drag his wife and daughter back home."

"Then force his hand," Lance said coldly.

"Understood." Aaron immediately caught his drift.

The two cars drove in tandem all the way back to the bay.

Lance stepped out of the vehicle and walked briskly into the villa without bothering to grab an umbrella.
