Capítulo 23: Stephen’s Company Is In Trouble
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Such a Sue had the warmth of a little woman, and less of the decisiveness of a businesswoman. Perhaps she didn't even realize it herself.
Outside the door, Sallie heard Sue's words. She held the test report tightly in her hands.
She didn't expect Catherine to be so vicious!
But Sue was right. If Catherine was sent to prison, then her mother...
Forget it, it was better to respect Sue's wishes and give Catherine one last chance.
The kind Sallie thought so.
On the other side, Catherine had just run out of the hospital. As soon as she got into the car, she immediately opened the makeup mirror. When she saw the two obvious handprints on her face, she was flustered and exasperated:
"Morty and Sue, I swear that I will definitely subjugate you and make both of you submit to me!"
...
In order to take revenge against Sue, Catherine thought of someone. It was Andrew Smith, who left his name card after taking the initiative to invite her to a dance at the charity banquet.
Catherine would always pay more attention to a man who had taken the initiative to approach her.
She remembered that Andrew's real estate group was Stephen's biggest competitor. Perhaps...
Thinking of this, Catherine's lips curled into a devilish smile. She took out Andrew's business card from her card folder and dialed his number.
"Andrew..." When the call was answered, Catherine immediately said coquettishly.
Then, under Catherine's extremely seductive and suggestive words, Andrew's heart wavered.
But when Andrew brought up the idea of meeting, Catherine said regretfully, "Andrew, it just so happens that I'm not in Francisco this week. I'll take the initiative to ask you out when I'm back!"
As she said that, Catherine hung up the phone and immediately contacted the plastic surgery hospital to perform a hymen repair surgery on herself.
What she was about to do next was a huge battle. Every detail had to be flawless!
"Sue, just you wait! Watch how I destroy Stephen and even the entire Cantwell Family. I want to see how Morty won't even look at you when you lose the backing of the Cantwell Family!"
Catherine muttered to herself as she looked at the beautiful face in the mirror with full confidence.
...
When Sue was discharged from the hospital, her parents, Richard and Lisa, her eldest brother, Mike, her third sister, Sallie and Morty had all arrived. Only Stephen...
After repeatedly confirming that she had not seen Stephen, Sallie asked Mike in a low voice, "Where's Stephen? He's someone who can't wait to pamper Sue to the heavens. Why hasn't he seen anyone recently?"
"Him! The company has been in big trouble recently. He has been too arrogant, and there's someone powerful waiting to teach him a lesson!" Mike replied in a slightly annoyed manner.
"Oh!" Sallie nodded. She never made any comments on the dispute and argument between the two brothers.
Sue, on the other hand, took Mike's words to heart.
After returning home, in order to give Sue and Morty some private time, Richard specifically asked Morty to send Sue back to her room.
"Dad, what you're doing is very dangerous for Sue. This is undoubtedly sending Sue straight to the tiger's mouth!" Mike ridiculed.
Although he had heard Morty's heartfelt words before, he was not happy when he saw that his good sister was about to be taken advantage of by Morty.
"Brat, other than Morty, do you have anyone better for your sister?" Richard retorted with some annoyance.
Seeing that Mike shook his head, Richard continued, "We are the ones who watched Morty grow up. In terms of character, family background or relationships, he is clean! He is not like you who keeps changing girlfriends, you're not reliable at all! You have to know that Morty's parents' characters are also excellent. Sue will be doted on when she marries him."
Hearing his father's words, Mike couldn't help but feel that he was heartless!
As expected, it was like that old saying: the more a father-in-law sees his son-in-law, the more he likes him!
Sallie reached out and patted Mike's shoulder to comfort him.
In Sue's room on the second floor.
The door had just closed when Sue immediately asked, "Morty, do you know the recent situation of Stephen's company?"
