The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 745

"Geoffrey, this tea is excellent, isn't it?"

"Indeed."

"It's Lance's favorite. If you like it, I can pack some for you to take back later."

The sound of Susan and Geoffrey chatting drifted over.

Catherine suppressed the confusion over Lance's bizarre behavior, took the pen Alexa handed her, and quickly signed her name.

Alexa then took the agreement over to Geoffrey.

"She signed it?" Geoffrey sounded surprised, followed by the rustling of pages being flipped.

"Since you have what you came for, Geoffrey, you should head back early. Mr. James and Catherine have matters to attend to shortly."

Susan issued the order to leave, her tone completely different from the polite chatter she had just offered.

Geoffrey double-checked that Catherine had indeed signed.

He glanced toward the dining room but his view was blocked by a crimson folding screen.

Suspicion and a sense of foreboding rose in his chest. "I-I need a quick word with Mr. James—"

"Mr. James doesn't like to be disturbed while eating."

Susan cut him off. "Please see yourself out."

Over by the entrance, Alexa had already opened the door.

Geoffrey reviewed the agreement one more time, confirming it was the same contract and that Catherine's signature was on it.

"Then I will take my leave." He finally walked out.

The sound of a car starting echoed from the driveway.

Susan closed the front door and returned to the dining room.

"Sir, he's gone."

Catherine finally put down her fork and looked at Lance. "What exactly did you do?"

"Catherine!"

The moment her voice faded, Lorinda's shout came from behind.

Catherine whirled around. Her bright eyes widened in surprise as she watched Lorinda run in through the back door.

"Baby, quick, call her Godmother!"
