Chapter 346 When Catelyn returned home that night, Joanne comforted her while munching on potato
chips. “Don’t overthink this; it’s not like everyone would return your kindness. Besides, you’re both in the
same position of the same firm, so there’s bound to be a sense of competition!”
Catelyn watched as her mouth opened and closed. She reached out to grab the bag of chips before
securing it within her arms and starting munching on the chips as well.
“I knew there would be competition, but we’ve just entered the company, right? I didn’t think I’d come
across as a threat to her at present.”
The two watched television in the living room for a while when Miles suddenly trotted over with Catelyn’s
phone in his hand to show her something. “Mommy, there is a three-million transaction to your bank.”
“Three million?” Catelyn studied her son in confusion.
Where did that money come from? Granny Atherton had offered her one million as the price of winning
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe competition organized by Chandier Jewelry, but she had refused it and returned every single penny
to Edwin. Knowing how stubborn she could be, Edwin simply donated the money to charity.
Even so, the amount did not match what Miles had said. Amid her confusion, she received another text
message from the mysterious person from before.
(Have you received the money?]
Catelyn’s blood ran cold, and she immediately turned to the balcony to call the person, who was
apparently waiting for her to respond as well. “Why did you transfer me three million dollars to my bank?”
“Congratulations on getting into Mason Group. Next, I’m going to need you to steal the details regarding
the city center project for me,” the person commanded firmly.
Catelyn had heard about the city center project and knew that it was the most important project for
Mason Group in the next half of the year. If the core details of the project leaked, leading to a failure in
the bidding…
Catelyn could not bring herself to imagine the consequence.
“I’m just an ordinary employee of the company at the moment who hasn’t even passed probation. What
makes you think that I can get my hands on the information? I’m sorry, but I don’t think I would be
capable of this even if I try!” “So you prefer that I hand the photos to Cedrick Mason?” “Don’t you dare!”
Catelyn gritted out. Not daring to risk en raging him, she could only resort to stalling. “Fine, I’ll accept
your terms for my son, but I really have no means to get to the data right now. Just give me some time.”
The only response she received was the person hanging up.
Catelyn sank deep into deep thoughts.
The mysterious person wanted her to be a spy, as she had expected.
Was she really going to betray Cedrick?
The three million she received out of the blue had brought her a nightmare that night as she drifted off to
sleep. She dreamed of the mysterious person telling Cedrick about Miles. In that very dream, Cedrick,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmupon realizing that Miles was also his son, took Miles away in a moment of rage and threw Catelyn into
prison for kidnapping.
Waking from the dream, Catelyn’s shoulders slumped in despair. When she returned to Mason Group,
she was struck with another shocking news…
George had been assigned to cooperate with a company in a certain Europaen country to build a
landmark that would take up a year and a half.
Someone said that it was a promotion since his salary would double from his long business trip.
However, some said that he was being banished due to his argument with Jennifer. Even though Cedrick
had not punished him at the time, this was his way of showing that he was not pleased with George’s
action.
Catelyn could not help but be reminded of the looks Cedrick shot her and George that day. George sent
her a message through social media. (Catelyn, I’ll be leaving next week. Can we go out for dinner
tomorrow?]
