The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 694

Their polite exchange immediately irritated Adelina.

She didn't know the first thing about actual work.

She had zero experience with standard corporate pleasantries.

In her world, whenever she made an appearance, people practically fell over themselves to flatter her.

Being deliberately iced out like this was entirely new.

"Catherine—"

"If anyone has questions, feel free to ask. This is Dane, our manager heading up the Southeast Expansion Project on our end. He'll be happy to clear up any confusion."

Catherine took her seat. She hadn't intentionally talked over Adelina.

It just happened that they both spoke at the exact same time. When Catherine glanced over, she saw Adelina's face twisted into an expression that screamed she was looking for a fight.

So, Catherine simply kept talking, bulldozing right past her.

The moment she finished, questions started flying.

Since the Lee Group had jumped into the project mid-stream, Zane and his team were lacking crucial context.

Now that they had the plan in front of them, they fired off question after question.

Dane immediately dove into a high-level discussion with them.

Catherine sat back, listening intently and occasionally offering a strategic point.

The meeting ran for a solid two hours.

"There’s an industry networking event focusing on similar projects tonight. If anyone is interested, we'd love for you to join us."

Dane announced as he wrapped up the meeting, extending an invitation to the Lee Group team.

Zane agreed without hesitation. "Excellent, we'll take you up on that."

"I should mention, though, we only have two guest passes."

Dane added apologetically.

Zane immediately turned to his most capable assistant.

But before he could designate who was coming, Adelina interjected, "Then Zane and I will go."
