    Catherine''s POV


    ke was sitting and chatting with his friends. I walked over to greet Benjamin and Howard.


    Then I shook hands with Eda with a smile.


    Just then, I noticed that Cedrick''s gaze had been drifting in another direction, so I followed his gaze.

    Then I smiled and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, do you know Jessica?"


    Cedrick nodded. "She worked with mypany before. I''ll go and say hello to her."


    When I heard that he was going to take the initiative to go over, I was instantly overjoyed. "I see!"


    Cedrick brought a ss of wine and walked over to Jessica.


    Cedrick said something to Jessica, and she stood up excitedly. Then Cedrick returned to us.


    Although I was curious, I held back my curiosity and did not ask.


    Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Cedrick''s assistant talking to Jessica, and then Jessica picked


    up her purse and left the venue.


    Cedrick suddenly stood up and said, "I have something to deal with, so I have to leave now."


    "I''d like to stay a little longer. You can go ahead," said Benjamin.


    "Suit yourself." Cedrick snorted and turned to leave.


    Shortly after Cedrick left, Eda suddenly turned to look at Benjamin. "Did Mr. Lawrence drive here by


    himself?"


    Benjamin nodded quickly. "Yes."


    "Then can you take me to thepany? I just told my driver to leave," said Eda.


    Benjamin immediately nodded and said, "Of course. Do you want to go now?"


    "Yes. I''ve had enough fun. It''s time to get back to work. King ke, Ms. Wyatt, thank you for inviting


    me," Eda smiled and stood up.


    After the crowd left, keyzily on the sofa, and Melinda walked over with wine.


    "King ke, thank you for your strong support. Today''sunch was very sessful. The new products


    will be a hit. I hope I live up to your promotion." Melinda was very polite and respectful.


    "Melinda, so far, it turns out that I''ve got good taste for the right people. Of course, all of this is thanks


    to Catherine. She rmended you to me," ke smiled and praised.


    The smile on Melinda''s face grew bigger. "Yes, I am very grateful to Catherine."


    "Don''t say that, Melinda." I smiled and looked at Melinda.


    Hedwig grinned and grabbed Melinda''s hand. "Melinda, nice to see you again."


    Melinda immediately smiled. She squatted down and stroked Hedwig''s hand. "Hedwig, do you want me


    to take you out again?"


    "Yes, Melinda. The quiet one over here is my brother, Noah!" Hedwig quickly pulled Noah''s clothes and


    introduced him with a smile.


    Noah immediately said, "I''m not quiet! I knew who she was."


    I chuckled.


    Melinda immediately felt a little sheepish. "Catherine, take care of the kids. I''ll go and entertain the


    others!"


    "Go ahead, Melinda. The kids are a bit tired. We may have to take them away now. I''ll leave the rest to


    you!" I knew my kids were used to taking naps, and now they were drowsy.


    "It''s OK. You guys can go. I will take care of the rest."


    When ke, I, and the kids left the venue, we attracted everyone''s attention.


    Theunch today would be a st.


    The kids were sent back to take a nap by ke. I wanted to go back to thepany for some warp-


    ups.


    However, I was stopped by ke in the car.


    "Come with me to my office," ke said domineeringly.


    I looked at him strangely. "Why should I go to your office? I still have work to do."


    "I''ll call Emily overter. I want to confront her face-to-face," said ke immediately.


    When I heard that he wanted to call Emily over, my expression stiffened. However, I decided not to get


    out of the car.


    "Alright. I would like to hear how you are going to confront her," I said lightly.


    He held me in his arms and said, "Hideter and let me ask her."


    "Why should I hide?" I was dissatisfied, because I disdained to do anything sneaky.


    ke chuckled. "If you want to know the truth, be good and do as I say."


    "Fine. I''ll do as you say." I could only make some sacrifice in exchange for the truth.


    When the car that we were in headed toward the headquarters building of the group, ke''s phone


    rang.


    "It''s Patricia, my grandmother." ke looked at me with a smile in his eyes. "She probably already


    knows about the kids."


    I pushed him away and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Answer it!"


    ke immediately pressed his phone to his ear. "Patricia."


    "Are you hiding something big from me?" Patricia''s furious tone on the other end of the line made me


    tremble.


    "Patricia, let me exin..." ke wanted to exin.


    "I don''t want to listen. I''m at the airport right now with your grandfather. Come and pick us upter."


    After saying this, Patricia hung up.


    ke was slightly stiff. I had been observing his expression the entire time. Seeing how shocked he


    was, I couldn''t help but ask nervously, "What is it?"


    ke put down his phone and turned to look at me seriously. "Patricia is very straightforward. If she


    says something that makes you feel unhappy, you canin to me."


    "You can just tell me that your grandmother might dislike me. It might be easier for me to ept." I


    crossed my arms in front of my chest, looking calm andposed.


    "Rx. No matter how much Patricia dislikes you, she won''t do anything to you. After all, you have two


    lovely kids," ke smiled andforted me.


    "What if your grandmother is the same as you were before? What if she wants the kids only?" It was a


    serious matter.


    "Then scold me." His big hand reached over. He wanted to pull my hand, but I dodged it.


    "What''s the point of scolding you? Though I didn''te from aplete family, I don''t want to be


    aggrieved!" I felt kind of helpless because of his words.


    "I know. I won''t let you feel aggrieved. I will take your side and fight Patricia to the end." ke held my


    hand tightly.


    In my eyes, the conflict between the elder and the younger generation was likely to end in tragedy, and


    it would note to an end until one sidepromised.


    ke looked into my eyes and sighed. "I''ve never won a fight with Patricia."


    I withdrew my hand from hisrge palm. I said coldly, "It''ll end up the same this time, right?"


    "Cathy..."


    "Let me get out!" I said coldly.


    "It hasn''t happened yet. Why should we be so pessimistic? Maybe Patricia will like you very much."


    ke grabbed my wrist again. Then he said, "I don''t think we need to quarrel about it."
