Chapter 503
Amy’s behavior flabbergasted Ivan. He thought that Amy despised Catelyn more than anything!
He refused to give it up, however. “Did Catelyn threaten you? Just tell the truth. Mister William and I are here, and we’ll help you!”
“No one’s threatening me, Uncle Ivan. Just give it up. I’ve warned you before the first time you stole Catelyn’s model, but not only did you not change, but you became worse! I can’t believe you’d stood as low as stealing Mister Smith’s posthumous work.
“I’m so disappointed in you!”
Amy’s eyes reddened as tears brimmed in her eyes.
Ivan was consumed by rage and raised his leg to kick Amy. “You b*tch! How dare you slander me this way?!”
“Ngh!” Amy crouched down and moaned in pain.
Madam Smith’s face turned green at that point as she growled, “Enough, Ivan! I take back everything good I’ve ever said about you in the past. From now on, whoever in Franche hires you as an architect will be my enemy! Mister William, I’m requesting to have a new Project Director installed for this project!”
William smiled and nodded nervously as beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead. “Yes, Ma’am.”
Madam Smith looked over at Catelyn as her face crumpled. “You mentioned earlier that you found my late husband’s work in the library?”
“That’s right, Madam Smith,” Catelyn answered politely upon being questioned by Madam Smith. “I’ve always admired Mister Smith’s view and theory in design, and I hold his design style and composition in high regard. I’ve had the honor of reading some of his dissertations in the past, and it left a huge impact on me.”
Madam Smith’s eyes softened upon hearing her late husband’s name being mentioned in such a good
light.
“I’ve heard rumors about you being accused of bribery and that you wanted to bribe Ivan in exchange for fame and benefits. Those weren’t real, were they?”
Catelyn chuckled lightly and said, “I guess I’m just not as lucky as you, having been able to have such great guidance and a talented teacher in your life.”
“My late husband did indeed guide me through my life in many ways…”
Madam Smith was touched.
She then shot a cold gaze at William.
William wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to investigate further. If it’s true that Ivan stole Catelyn’s model, we promise to bring justice to her.”
