Chapter 507
When it was time to get off work, Catelyn packed up
William had already fired Ivan and Amy and changed the way he treated Catelyn since then.
He came to offer her a ride back home. Still, Catelyn entered a lift with a perfunctory smile.
All of a sudden, her phone rang. The screen displayed a series of numbers she did not recognize.
“Hello, is this Miss Clark?” rang an old lady’s voice that carried vicissitude.
“Yes, and you are?” Catelyn held the phone in one hand and clocked out with another to get off work.
“I’m George’s mother. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“George’s mother?’
Catelyn had not seen George for a long time. The last time they met was at the resort, but she deliberately avoided him at that time.
“Please carry on, Missus Graham.”
“George has been a good boy since he was a child.
“His father and I had run a timber factory before this. Although we’re not wealthy, we’re not below average at all. However, not long ago, someone reported our factory, and that caused the suspension of production and compensation. George also lost his job because of that. He has been drinking heavily for quite a while. One day, he spilled the beans after drinking, and now we know it was all because of you!”
Catelyn’s grip on the phone suddenly tightened as she stiffly stood in the hall.
“I’ve never been a snob. I know you were once George’s boss’s wife and you have two kids, so that’s why I’m calling you today, begging you to stop troubling George!
“Miss Clark, are you still listening?” George’s mother asked eagerly.
“I’m still here,” Catelyn hurriedly responded.
Catelyn finally figured out why Cedrick was so inattentive when she told him that her engagement to George was canceled.
