The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 724

"Lemuel might be intelligent, but he shares Geoffrey's fatal flaw—he doesn't value family ties. He's not someone you want to get close to."

Lance turned his head, locking eyes with Catherine. "He'll probably come looking for you."

After all, Catherine was the only blood relative Lemuel had left in the world, and they were the only two who truly understood what the other had been through.

Catherine shook her head. "I already blocked his number."

Since she refused to acknowledge Geoffrey, she wasn't going to acknowledge Lemuel, either.

Lemuel wasn't as simple as he seemed, and she had no energy left to waste on anyone else.

All she wanted was a peaceful life with Lanny.

"Golden Horizon Enterprises has already transferred the Southeast Expansion Project to me."

Lance paused thoughtfully. "With just one word from me, Hammer will hand over your contract with Golden Horizon. So, Catherine... what are your plans?"

Catherine's pupils dilated slightly as she instinctively looked at him. "My contract?"

"If you want to terminate it, you won't have to pay a single cent in penalties."

Lance clarified.

In other words, if she wanted to, she could tear up her contract right now and disappear with Lanny.

It was everything she had been dreaming of.

But now that the opportunity was finally handed to her on a silver platter, she stared at Lance's striking, aristocratic face and found herself entirely unable to make a decision.

"Lance, why are you helping me?"

Lance countered, "Why do you think?"

Catherine shook her head. There were too many reasons, too many possibilities.

"I don't know."

Lance's gaze darkened. "Catherine, in your plans... in your future... am I in it?"

A jolt ran through Catherine, her heart hammering wildly against her ribs.

She bit her lower lip, deliberately avoiding his intense stare.

"Once you've figured out what you want your future to look like, I'll decide whether to pull your contract from Golden Horizon."
