His words were disgusting. Usually whatever he said about her she could persuade herself to ignore it.
Anderson was astounded by Catherine.
He looked into her icy eyes but he found no emotions.
Anderson was furious but didn’t know what to say seeing her eyes.
At a moment, he was afraid to say anything that would annoy her.
“Anderson, he is just a child.” Catherine said in a cold voice, “I don’t care if you insult me, but please don’t get innocent people involved in it.” She was protecting the boy.
Anderson suddenly felt bitter in his mouth. He turned his icy gaze to Boyce, “How old are you?” Boyce frowned, “Twenty.” “You take a 20 years old man as a child?” Anderson mocked, “Don’t you know how old are you?” Five years between them.
As long as you were rich, five years was no big deal in this circle.
Catherine knew what he meant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was disgusted, “You don’t mind the age gap between you and Johanna so you think everyone else could do the sas you. Dirty people see dirty things.” If it had not been his indulgence, how dared she do that! Anderson frowned. What's wrong with the relation between Johanna and him? He just tried to be nice to Johanna for the sake of Isabella. He owed Isabella a lot before she passed way, so he wanted to make up for it.
There was no romantic relationship between Johanna and him.
“Johanna and | ...” Anderson defended himself unconsciously.
Before he finished, he saw Catherine was pulled into Ethan's arms.
Anderson swallowed his words. Why should he explain it to Catherine? Owen was lying in the bed, but she still got Ethan and Antoand she could get herself male prostitutes and young boys.
Anderson reached out to take Catherine from Ethan but she avoided his hand instinctively.
She was held in Ethan’s embrace but her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred when she looked at Anderson, as if she was going to destroy him with her hatred.
Ethan laughed, “Anderson, don’t see that she hates you?” Anderson was enraged and punched heavily on Ethan's jaw. Ethan let go Catherine and then rolled his wrists to fight back. “You may forget that Sky Club is my place.” The two men started a fight.
A fierce fight.
The annual party was completely ruined.
Catherine withdrew herself from them and walked directly to the second floor.
Anderson watched Catherine left indifferently and right at the moment he got a punch in the face by Ethan.
Catherine leaned over the window watching the traffic outside with an absent look on her face.
She grew up in this city, but now she desired to escape from here.
She wanted to go back to city A and go back to Owen and her children.
Only when she was with them could she feel peaceful temporarily.
“Here you are.” Gianna said behind her. Catherine pulled herself back to turn around and nodded, “The party ended?” “Yes, the remained guests are playing in the box but | don’t like the noise in it.” Gianna leaned over the window beside Catherine, “Mr. Clark left soon after you cupstairs. He looked poor and his face was injured severely.” “You had been a hot topic online for a while. An anonymous user revealed that there was something between you and Mr. Clark, but I didn’t believe it.” Gianna smiled with embarrassment, “But itis true. You are so cool.” “The news on the inteare not all true. Don’t believe everything on it. The relationship between Anderson andis not what you imagined. | got acquaintance with him because we studied at the sschool.” Seeing Catherine’s cold face, Gianna’s eyes showed a look of disdain, but no one noticed it as she lowered her head. “I go to my room.” The company booked standard rooms. Gianna held Catherine’s arm intimately, “I asked the editor to letshare a room with you.” Catherine didn’t care with whom was she going to share the room. After all she only knew few people here.
Gianna was the only one except for her editor.
Catherine browsed the intewith her phone for a while in her room. Her affair was a sensation online. A lot of people commented on her social media platform and swanted her to finish the Misty.
Of course, there also were comments saying that she was hyping herself up or lying. Catherine posted a message, “A clean hand wants no washing.” Joshua was drinking with Anderson. When he read Catherine's post, he immediately handed his phone to Anderson, “Catherine posted a message.” Anderson stared at the message.

Is she implying that she has nothing to do with Isabella's death?” Joshua scratched his head, “She should be explaining the matter about the picture. Don’t overthink it.” Anderson laughed wryly, “She is too proud to give explanations. | asked Hudson to investigate Isabella’s case, but he got nothing so far.” “According to the exist evidence, she is probably the murder. | had all the people on the cruise questioned before I decided that she was the murder.” “But now her message makes it seem that | am the one who did wrong.” He drank up one glass after another.
“Now she think Johanna is the one who caused Owen's car accident. Johanna just graduated and | had Arthur investigated her. | know everything about her. She is pure and kind.” “She doesn’t even dare to kill a chicken but now she is accused of murder.” Joshua lift his glass to Anderson’s and then after hesitating for few seconds, he asked in confusion, “You have Johanna and she has Ethan. Why don’t you move on?” “Move on?” Anderson's face darkened.
“No matter whether Catherine harmed Isabella or not, she paid for it in the prison.” “Now Owen is lying in the bed with his life hanging in the balance. After all, Owen gave up learning the piano and cback to do business because you put Catherine into the jail.” ‘Isabella could never cback to life. There is no winner.” “Why don’t you let it go and move on?” Joshua asked sincerely.
Anderson kept drinking and didn’t respond.
In a sudden, Joshua remembered that Anderson once called him asking how could he keep Catherine with him.
He asked cautiously, “Are you falling in love with Catherine?” “No.” Anderson denied without hesitation.
Joshua had been his friends for about 20 years and he knew well about what Anderson’s reaction implied.
He didn’t dare to admit his affection for Catherine! “Well, | call Catherine and you two have a talk in peace.” Joshua took out his phone.
Anderson attempted to stop him but finally gave up after a hesitation.
He kept drinking while paid attention to Joshua’s phone secretly.
Catherine saw Joshua's call thinking he was calling to ask about Aurora so she answered the phone immediately, “Hello.” Joshua put his phone on speaker, “Catherine, can you cto OX now?” “Catherine, hurry up. | can’t wait any more.” Before Catherine spoke, a man’s voice cfrom the other end of the phone. Joshua rushed to put the speaker off, but it was too late.
