Chapter 26
There was nobody around.
She seemed to have heard Anderson’s voice yesterday; it was probably a dream again. She had a
headache from the hangover and tried hard to recall what happened yesterday. She kept thinking about
it, but she could only remember Aurora taking her for a drink.
Sky tasted quite good to her. She vaguely remembered Aurora didn’t want to let her put all her eggs in
one basket and wasted her efforts on Anderson, so Aurora called many male escorts for her. She was
really drunk after that and she seemed to remember a male escort that looked like Anderson…
She didn’t know whether it was a hallucination or a dream. It was almost time for Sophia to go to school,
so Catherine didn’t have much time to think about it. She quickly washed her face and rinsed her mouth.
When she wanted to prepare breakfast, she realized Sophia was already sitting by the dining table,
“Mommy, let’s eat.” Catherine was confused, “Did Nova came to make this?” She didn’t remember asking
Nova to prepare breakfast for them.
‘It’s daddy. He asked someone to send it here.” Sophia stretched out her hand to pull Catherine’s shirt,
“Mommy, this porridge is really delicious.”
Catherine was surprised, “Anderson was here?”
Sophia took a bite of salted egg yolk custard bun and looked skeptically at Catherine, “Mommy, have you
forgotten? Daddy brought you home when you were drunk yesterday.”
All the vague memories were suddenly connected together and these scenes shed through her mind.
She seemed to have thought that Anderson was a male escort. She scolded Anderson and vomited on
him. It seemed like he had changed by her clothes too…
Catherine’s face turned red as she recalled everything that had happened. She was so embarrassed that
she wanted to hide herself in a hole, but she couldn’t.
“Mommy, why aren’t you eating? This salted egg yolk custard bun tastes good too.” Catherine knew in a
nce that this porridge was from a high-end restaurant, where she used to be a regr customer there.
She took a bite of the salted egg yolk custard bun and the taste was familiar to her.
It was the first time she had tasted the food from this restaurant after six years.
Things remained the same, but the people had changed now.
Catherine returned to thepany after sending Sophia to school. As soon as she stepped into the
company, everyone looked at her with countless expectations.
Catherine’s heart throbbed.
“October, have you seen the news online again?” Emilia asked cautiously. Catherine shook her head.
After her cell phone was stuck yesterday, she directly uninstalled the app.
“I think you should check it again. It has caused a big scandal on the Inte now.” Emilia handed her
phone to Catherine, “Someone exposed to the media that the project had been stopped. There are many
people on the Inte who say that you’ve offended someone, that’s why the project have been
stopped.”
“I see many people have gone to the Torres family’s official page to cause scandal, and many people are
joking about letting Mr. Torres to help you.” Emilia didn’t actually say that there were many people in the
company who looked forward for Mr. Torres’s help too.
Catherine looked at thements on the Inte. Indeed, manyizens had gone to the Torres
family’s official pagementing stuffs like asking Owen to help his wife, and many of them were just
joking around.
However, it had caused a great impact on Catherine. She gave the phone back to Emilia, “I’ll contact
Owen. If 1 couldn’t reach him, I would issue a statement saying that I have nothing to do with the Torres
family.”
Emilia didn’t expect that she would make such a decision and said surprisingly, “But it won’t do you any
good.” She just didn’t want the Torres family to get involved in this.
Catherine called Owen again, but it still couldn’t get through. At that moment, a post by the Torres family
became a trending topic on the Inte.
There were only three simple words.

“Mr. Torres is unmarried.”
“Oh my god, what a joke. The Torres family’s official page just gave her a p in the face.” ‘This artist is
using Mr. Torres to gain poprity.”
“Even aic artist wants to have a wealthy woman persona now?”
Emilia had been focusing on the Inte. When she saw this news, she quickly informed Catherine
about it.
“Alright.” Catherine’s voice sounded a little exhausted. She knocked on the door and entered Simon’s
office.
When Simon saw hering, he smiled bitterly, “I actually wanted to gain a little trendiness for the
project, but I didn’t expect that it to bring you so much trouble.”
“It’s me who caused trouble for the project.” If it weren’t because of her, Anderson wouldn’t pay attention
to such a small matter at all, “I’ll continue looking for Anderson. Besides, I’ll issue a statement that I’m
just friends with Owen, not his wife.”
Simon nodded and reminded, “This matter is getting trendier now. You must be more careful, I’m afraid
someone will dig into your past.”
Simon stayed in thepany longer than she did, so he had more experience than her in this aspect.
She nodded her head.
After returning to her work position, Catherine reinstalled the app and closed the notifications bar of the
app. Then, she wrote a statement and posted it.
As soon as she posted it, manyments were made.
‘It’s such a pity; your beauty really matches Mr. Torres.”
“To be friends with Mr. Torres, October must be an excellent woman.”
“I think she’s just using the tabloid media coverage on purpose. Does she want to be in the
entertainment industry?”
“I think there’s ament that the child looks like Mr. rk. This artist knows Mr. Torres and Mr. Elliot.
She should know Mr.
rk too. I’m taking a wild guess, the child is Mr. rk’s!” Emilia read thisment beside Catherine.
Catherine was stunned for a moment as she held the phone in her hand.
Emiliaughed, “Thisizen is really unbelievable, but they look quite simr though. It’s true that good-
looking people all look simr to each other, while ugly ones are totally different.”
Catherine was startled upon hearing this.
Emilia also murmured, “Mr. rk is too famous, thisment has been highest likedments on your
post.
Catherine refreshed her page and as expected, it had been the topment on her post.
She wanted to deny it, but she was afraid of causing more scandal. She didn’t reply it and thement
section became even livelier. Mostizens said it was impossible, Mr. rk would never have his eyes
on her.
One of the longments attracted Catherine’s attention.
“There’s a post that says this artist has pursued Mr. rk before and even honey-trapped him. She used
to be from a wealthy family. Mr. rk got married with her due to pressure, but he hated her the most.
They have been divorced for many years now.
The person who posted it didn’t dare to say much and was afraid to get caught. She did mention that
there were many reporters who took pictures of this artist baiting Mr. rk, but they were threatened by
the blogger’s family to not post it out.”
‘This artist had a bad character, she didn’t have many female friends. She’s really a slut. Even when she
yed with Mr. Torres and Mr. Elliot, she still secretly harassed Mr. rk.”
An anonymous long picture was attached at the end of thement. The more Catherine looked at it,
the more dejected she became. This matter was definitely exposed by someone she knew. Some of the
contents were true while some were fake, but there were still manyizens who believed it.
She had a hunch that this matter would be difficult to deal with.
She had never encountered such a thing, so she didn’t know how to react for a moment. Then, the
phone that she held in her phone suddenly vibrated. Catherine came back to her senses and saw the
person who called was Owen.
She answered the call and walked out of the office.
“Owen, have you seen the scandal on the Inte?” Owen pressed against his forehead and replied,
“Yes, I have.”
‘I didn’t expect to cause you so much trouble.” What Catherine didn’t wish to happen most was to get
Owen involved in this matter.
“I’m the one who wanted to take Sophia out. It has nothing to do with you.” Owen muttered, “I’ll settle the
rest of the problem.”
Catherine took a deep breath and said firmly, “Owen, you’re the heir of the Torres family. No matter what
happened, you must consider your family first. Don’t worry about me anymore.”
The solution to this issue was Anderson.
