Geoffrey's gaze suddenly turned predatory. "Go!"
The driver slammed the gas pedal, and the car shot forward like a bullet.
Refusing to let go of the window, Lorinda was dragged several feet by the momentum before crashing hard onto the pavement.
"Lorinda!"
Catherine stared in horror at the rearview mirror.
Davis and Latonia rushed over, helping Lorinda up. Ignoring her scraped and bleeding skin, Lorinda stumbled to her feet and tried to chase after them.
"Stop, you'll never catch them."
Latonia went pale looking at Lorinda's bleeding arm. "We'll figure out a way to save her, okay? Let's go back and treat your injuries first!"
The car rounded the corner at the end of the road, and the figures disappeared from the mirror.
Catherine's chest tightened with anxiety. She clamped her jaw shut, forcing herself to stay calm. She absolutely refused to show even a sliver of emotion in front of Geoffrey.
Geoffrey took several calls, all regarding the arrangements to transfer the Lee Group's shares into Catherine's name.
He ordered his people to execute the transfer immediately, preferably by that afternoon.
But it was already noon; there was no way it would happen that fast.
Upon arriving back at the villa, Geoffrey had Adela take Catherine upstairs and lock her away before he headed straight to the office.
Scandals had been erupting left and right lately. He had avoided the office to stay out of the spotlight, leaving a mountain of paperwork behind.
"I'll be at the office for the next couple of days. Keep a close eye on her."
He instructed Adela.
Adela nodded. "Got it. Go handle your business."
With that, Adela signaled the servant to lock Catherine in her room.
The sound of an engine echoed from downstairs as Geoffrey's car pulled away.
The second-floor windows had security bars, making escape impossible. The door was locked from the outside, and her phone was gone.
Lance's words from the previous night involuntarily echoed in her mind.
