"Then do you plan to hang around in the office forever?" Cedrick’s tone was stern.
Catelyn explained, "I had ordered food delivery, plus, the office is quite cozy. I have a big couch
here. There's no problem for Jolene and me to stay here for a night! You better go home soon,
don't let Ollie and Miles know about this..."
"Too late. Your son just called me and asked if something happened to you," Cedrick said
straightforwardly.
Catelyn's eyes widened. "Are children so up to date with web dramas?"
"Don’t you compare them to normal children. That's it. I will think of ways to distract the
reporters, I will arrive in twenty minutes," Cedrick replied briskly.
To cover up the news, the best way would be to create some other news that was even more
shocking.
The entertainment paparazzi were focusing much on VSA Group because of Louis. Cedrick
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtintended to expose some other celebrities' private lives or some shocking news about them to
distract them.
As for the finance or social topics columnists, Cedrick got his people to pretend to be VSA
Group's senior management and distracted them.
There was one reporter who was doubtful of the situation and did not leave.
However, this was enough for Catelyn to leave quietly.
Jolene did not want to leave so soon. Maribel sensed something fishy and immediately disguised herself and
followed Catelyn downstairs.
At the construction site, Catelyn was almost putting Maribel on the spot.
Maribel's unpleasant photos were widely spread among the construction workers.
However, Maribel herself was now very flustered with the situation too. She entered the elevator and said to
Catelyn, "Miss Clark, it was my fault before this. Since you have the guts to allow this incident to escalate, you must
have some backup plan, don't you?"
"Miss Kingsley did not withdraw from the collaboration. You guys must have a good relationship."
"Can you ask Miss Kingsley for help? To shut people up about this!"
"As for the injured construction workers, I will be paying them compensations..."
Maribel was finally panicking and was blabbering away. Catelyn was a little annoyed and looked at her unhappily.
Her cold gaze was a sword made of ice that pierced through Maribel’s heart.
"One of the contractors for this project is your cousin, isn't it?"
Maribel's face turned slightly green as she pretended to be innocent. "Miss Clark, what are you talking about? I
don't know any contractors..."
"Your annual salary is only six hundred thousand dollars, but you are using the latest season designer bag, which
costs over four hundred thousand dollars. You drive a Mesarati, paid by cash, costing two to three million dollars.
You also happen to have a suite in the middle of the city that costs more than ten million. May I know how you can
afford all these without stealing from the project funds?"
Maribel was stunned.
How did Catelyn know about all these?
She was always jealous of Catelyn for taking her Director position away, other than being
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlowered in the office hierarchy, it was also because she did not have as much power anymore,
making it difficult for her to allow her cousin to slack and deliver less than they were supposed
to.
"This was indeed gifted by my cousin, but I am not aware that he is involved in any corruption!
You have to believe me, that I will never betray the company..."
The elevator reached the ground floor. Catelyn took one look around and was surprised to see
no reporters around.
She was delighted and did not want to continue the conversation with Maribel anymore.
"You know very well whether or not you are involved in this. I have nothing more to say,
goodbye."
Before Maribel could reply, Catelyn ran out of the tower and straight into Cedrick's car. Cedrick
quickly drove away. Maribel wanted to pursue her but could not.
She was worried and immediately called her cousin. He said he would only take a little back
then. Who knew it would end up so badly?
However, she could not get through to her cousin!
