Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 392 âItâs not that big of a deal, really. I donât manage the company with my looks but with my capability,â
Catherine replied half-jokingly. âAlright, letâs move on to discuss the progress of the ongoing projects in various placesâ¦â
The meeting ended an hour later.
Catherine returned to her office to find an invitation card from Melanie and Charlie on the desk. They were throwing an engagement ceremony in the Pavilion Intercontinental Hotel tomorrow.
What was Melanie trying to say with the invitation?
Just as she was thinking about this, she received a call from an unfamiliar number. âElder Sister, have you seen my invitation card?â
âDonât call me that. I donât have a younger sister who tried to steal my husband.â Catherine could be confident with the marriage certificate on her side.
âYou really have the cheek. Whoâs the third party here?â
Melanie almost screamed out of anger but took a deep inhale instead. âFine. Iâve finally found my happiness. Youâre Dadâs daughter no matter what and nothing can change the fact that we share the same blood. Iâm sure youâre not going to miss your younger sisterâs engagement ceremony right?â
âIâll definitely be there since youâve kindly invited me.â
Melanie was startled by the unexpected positive reply. âYouâre most welcome. Oh, by the way, I heard about your facial disfigurement. Donât forget to wear a veil tomorrow. I donât want you scaring off my guests. I look forward to seeing you.â
She hung up the call after a chuckle.
Catherine finally understood the intention. They were hoping for a chance to ridicule her.
However, she was not too bothered about what these insignificant people thought about her appearance.
Perhaps they would not be the ones feeling disgusted tomorrow.
â¦
Elle came to pick her up after work.
âEldest Young Master is working overtime tonight, so he couldnât pick you up.â
She explained after Catherine positioned herself in the backseat.
This caught the latter by surprise. She knew Shaun must have other investments even after being dismissed as the president of Hill Corporation. However, she seemed to know nothing at all about his current work affairs.
âWhich company is he working in at the moment?â
Elleâs eyes flickered upon hearing the question and she fell into silence.
âItâs fine if youâre unwilling to answer.â Catherine twitched the corners of her lips. âIâm just casually asking.â
She sounded nonchalant but in actuality, there was an unpleasant taste in her mouth.
Perhaps Shaunâs touching confession from when she was hospitalized before had broken the defensive wall built around her fragile heart. Upon learning the two of them were still married, she could not help having expectations of him.
Women could really disappoint themselves sometimes.
A few loving and touching words could make them feel more special than anyone else.
Elle frowned, slightly frustrated. âEldest Young Master isnât deliberately hiding things from you. Iâm just afraid that you might overthink after hearing the companyâs name.â
Catherine looked up as if she had suddenly remembered something. âIs it possible⦠that the name is related to that woman named Sarah?â
âYoung Madam, Iâm not sure how to handle your intelligence.â
That was it.
Did that woman really mean so much to him?
Was she so important that her name was his companyâs name?
Although the woman in question had already passed away, Catherine still felt a strange feeling in her heart at the thought of this.
âItâs called Shaunarah,â Elle explained, âBut the company was established five years ago, before Eldest Young Master met you. Iâm sure he wouldnât use this name if he had started a new company today.â
âAlright.â Catherine turned sideways to look out the window.
Shaunarahâ¦
Evidently, it was a wordplay of their names, Shaun and Sarah. What a lovely name.
Catherine thought that he probably would not love her this much if that woman named Sarah was still alive.
