The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 705

"Just let Dane know to find some time to head over there," Catherine summarized, getting back to her tasks.

"Got it, Director White! Don't worry, I might be a little slow, but I'll think about what you said until I understand!" Celine scratched her head, visibly frustrated with her own lack of comprehension.

Catherine simply smiled and waved her off to work.

Barely five minutes after Celine left, Dane walked in.

"Director White, I am not going to The Lee Group."

Catherine stopped typing and looked up, silently demanding an explanation.

"That woman doesn't understand a single thing about this industry. Zane Halloway and I already hammered out every last detail of the project. There is absolutely nothing left to discuss."

Dane clearly had zero respect for Adelina.

"Do you two have some sort of personal beef? Can you sort it out yourselves?"

Word of the drama at yesterday's banquet had spread like wildfire, and Dane had definitely heard about it.

Catherine steepled her fingers, pausing for a moment before replying. "She and I don't have a feud, but she certainly holds some misconceptions about me. However, you are the lead on the Southeast Expansion Project. Even if I went over to brief her, I would have to drag you along because you know the technicals far better than I do. More importantly—you should temporarily cut contact with Zane. I'm willing to bet he's a lot more anxious about this stall than you are."

Catherine had done her research. Zane Halloway was notoriously diligent and fiercely ambitious.

They were primed to move to the next phase, only to be stone-walled by Adelina's sheer incompetence. Zane would inevitably take matters into his own hands.

"What is The Lee Group thinking, hiring a drama queen like her? They should handle their own internal mess before dragging us into it," Dane grumbled. Pulling out his phone, he carefully drafted a text to Zane.

After hitting send, he pocketed his phone and looked at Catherine somewhat guiltily.
