Chapter 228 Shameless People Have Nothing to Lose At 12 o’clock, Gerald, Ingrid, and Daphne walked out of the studio together with Eddie.

Since receiving the news, Eddie followed Ingrid closely.

They did not find any high–level restaurants. Ingrid brought them to a restaurant that was not too big, but the taste was quite good.

After sitting down, Ingrid said, “Do you still remember this place? At that time, you brought me here to eat.”

She said to Daphne.

Daphne nodded and said, “There are still a lot of memories about Washington. I attended high school here. Unfortunately, my father and my mother...”

“You really can’t blame your mother for this. Your father had a problem in the first place. At that time, your grandfather thought that your mother was a gold digger. Your mother ran to Sacramento. Although Goldsun Group was invested and managed by your father, your mother also paid a lot of effort,” Ingrid said. “Later, your father cheated, and they divorced. Then in order to let you have a good education environment, she compromised with your father to remarry. Then your father was caught again...

Your father is such a dissolute man.”

Daphne sighed and said, “I don’t care about it at all now. My father is such a person, and he can’t change it. The key thing is that the people in my father’s family still think that there is no problem.

They think that this is not my father’s problem. Rich people don’t care about these things. Plus, I am a girl. I am not so important at home.”

In aristocratic families, the inheritance of men was quite important.

“Anyway, I just need to mind my own business.” She shook her head and said, “I can’t be bothered with the matters of the previous generation. In the future, I won’t think about looking for a wealthy family or anything like that. It’ll be fine as long as I can paint and live the life I want to live.”

The two college students began to talk about life here.

Gerald listened from the side and did not say anything.

During the nine years in Night Watch, when he was on a mission, he had indeed seen too many questions like this.

It was not easy for him to intervene in matters like family affairs, except for those that were too excessive, such as Catherine’s or Trevon’s.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this,” Ingrid said. “Let’s talk about something happy.”

Daphne nodded and said, “By the way, Riley has also returned to Washington. I guess he will come to find you again.”

Ingrid curled her lips and said, “In fact, Riley and I are friends. If he had not shown his love to me, it would not have been so awkward.”

Riley was a member of the Tucker family. Irvin and Eddie did not care much about Ingrid seeing him and even encouraged it!

After dinner, Daphne got a call from her mother. She greeted Gerald and then left.

After Ingrid and Gerald had finished eating, they also returned to Ingrid’s studio.

In the afternoon, Catherine came to the company. Everything was fine. Gerald also stayed in Ingrid’s studio. From time to time, he would have a meeting with some other investors of Ingrid’s studio.

For him, it was just a formality. The work was mainly in the charge of Catherine!

Catherine was well–adjusted. After she came to the studio, she completely entered a working state.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Ingrid left the studio on time. Gerald and Catherine drove back to the company to clock in!

When they returned to the Sales Department, Gerald found that Nick and others looked a little unnatural.

They looked at Catherine’s expression and felt a little strange.

“What’s wrong?” Catherine asked.

“You know what,” at the side, a girl ran out and said, “Half an hour ago, your father came to the company. Mr. Thomas came out in person to appease him. He is now in the conference room of the Sales Department.”

“What!” Catherine’s expression changed slightly. “He came here?”

Nick nodded. He looked at Catherine strangely and said, “And he rushed in with a knife...”

While they were talking, Gerald noticed that the others were also looking at them, whispering something.

Some people even showed a look of disdain on their faces. Because Catherine got the project with the Maddox family, many people in the sales department were also jealous of her.

“I didn’t expect Catherine to be such a person.”

“She took 100 thousand dollars. Her father and brother can’t even afford to lead a life. She actually doesn’t care!”

Two girls from Sales Team One whispered.

Gerald suddenly stared at them and said lightly, “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t know anything. If don’t know what to say, shut your mouth. No one thinks you are mute!”

you “Gerald, you are wrong.” At this time, Nick stood out and said, “I know that you are interested in Catherine. This business of the Maddox family was also brought here by you, but what we said is also the truth. Catherine’s father just said it!”

Catherine looked pale and asked, “What did he say?”

“It was what they said just now. He brought you up, but after you got a rich man, you ignored him and disliked him for being poor...”

“Hey, beauty indeed has an advantage!”

Another wave of discussion resounded in their ears.

Catherine felt extremely wronged. She bit her lips and was extremely worried.

If her reputation was really bad and her relationship with her colleagues became worse, the company might consider a lot of factors and expel her!

Gerald was also dumbfounded. He did not expect Catherine’s father to be such a person. It was true that shameless people had nothing to lose.

“It’s meeting time!” At this time, a new female manager came out of the office and clapped her hands. “Catherine, you go to the office first. Everyone else, come here!”

Catherine gritted her teeth and looked at Gerald.

Gerald said softly, “Go ahead. Mr. Thomas is here, and your father won’t dare to do anything. Just leave the report task to me today.”

Yes, they were communicating with Ingrid and had to report the progress of the company every day. Catherine had done it before, and Gerald barely even came to the company!

He didn’t expect to encounter such a thing once he came back.

When Catherine left, Nick suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Ms. White.”

The new manager was called Jenny White.

Jenny looked at him and asked, “Do you have anything to report? If not, listen to Gerald’s project report first!”

Cooperating with the Maddox family was the most important thing in the Wisdom Group.

She had to tidy up after listening to it, and she would show it to the higher–ups after that.

“I think we still have to consider a person’s character in terms of the company’s personnel,” Nick said. “Catherine is not very filial.

If her father makes trouble through the media and the matter blows up, it will disgrace the company!”

Gerald frowned and looked at Nick!.

At this time, the group leader of Sales Team One said, “I think Nick is right.”

Then, the group leaders of the sales group seemed to have agreed with Nick!

“Make it clear,” Jenny said.

“I mean I don’t really want to work with a colleague like Catherine. I suggest that the company get rid of her.” Nick let out a sigh of relief. He looked at Gerald with a guilty conscience.
