The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 721

The news detailed Lemuel's true relationship with the Lees, even digging up Amanda's involvement. It also exposed Geoffrey's past decision to abandon his daughter and his casting away of Lorinda. Though there was no hard evidence, the narrative was airtight, perfectly aligning with the Lee family's bizarre behavior from years ago.

In an instant, Geoffrey and his wife were caught in a media firestorm, and the Lee Group's stock plummeted to rock bottom.

Catherine scrolled through the articles but couldn't find a single mention of her name.

She immediately understood—this was Lance's doing.

He had finally made his move against the Lee family.

But what had the Lees done to trigger this?

Catherine's gaze was conflicted as she looked up from her screen, her eyes shifting from Lanny to Alexa. "You should call him and ask."

"I'm not calling him. You do it," Alexa replied, shrinking back slightly at the mere thought of Lance.

"I'll text him," Catherine decided.

Lance replied almost instantly with a video call. Catherine answered.

The man's strikingly handsome, sharply contoured face filled the screen.

"Where's Lanny?" Lance asked.

Catherine furrowed her brows. "I wanted to know if you're coming home for dinner."

Lance studied her delicate features, completely ignoring her question. "You saw the news."

"I did." Catherine pressed her lips together, hesitating for a few seconds before asking, "Did something happen?"

Lance took a quiet breath, his expression unreadable. "Are you going to blame me for moving against the Lee family so recklessly?"

Catherine shook her head. "No."

After being entangled with them for so long, she had clearly seen Geoffrey and his wife's true colors.

They were heartless, and only absolute ruthlessness could solve the root of the problem.

However, she didn't have the power to be ruthless, which was why she had been planning to take Lanny and flee.

Lance had the power, and he had done exactly what she wished she could do.
