Chapter 118


    The police tly refused Catherine and locked her up once again.


    The small room was filled with seven to eight people. Each of them was assigned a wide wooden bed.


    As soon as she sat down, a tall woman walked toward her and sshed a pail of water on her bed.


    “What are you doing?” Catherine blurted out. A bunch of evil-looking women mobbed her right away.


    “How dare you shout at me?!” The tall woman rolled up her sleeves, then said fiercely, “You know, I


    killed the woman who shouted at me before this.”


    “Sorry… You may ssh as you wish.” Catherine was not a fool. She knew full well that it was not easy


    to deal with the bunch of people who were locked up here, so she tried her best to tolerate them.


    Nevertheless, they did not seem to n on letting her go.


    “Oh well, this won’t work on me. I hate beautiful women like you the most because my husband was


    snatched by a woman just like you.”


    The woman ran toward her and subsequently gave her a kick.


    As much as Catherine wanted to shout for help, someone covered her mouth.


    Shortly afterward, she felt dizzy upon being beaten. In a daze, she seemed to hear someone say, “Go


    ahead and kill her. Nobody’s going to me us for killing her anyway.”


    “She deserves it since she offended someone she shouldn’t have.”


    “…”


    Who had she offended this time?


    Reba? Jeffery?


    Hah. She would have felt heartbroken if this had happened back then. However, she was already used


    to it now.


    Who could rescue her this time? Her rtionship with Shaun was over, whereas Freya… Freya was


    not a worthy opponent for the rk family either.


    …


    As soon as Freya learned from the news that the police had arrested Catherine, she hurried to the


    police station.


    Just as she arrived at the entrance, she bumped into Ethan who was walking out with awyer.


    “Why are you here?” Freya began simmering with rage at the sight of the scumbag. “You came at the


    right time. Go and exin to the police that Catherine’s not that sort of person. Considering that she’s


    strappedtely, she couldn’t have taken bribes. Clearly, Summit’s trying to frame her.”


    “I tried, but I don’t work under Summit. In this case, my ims are of no use. What’s more, the police


    have obtained evidence from Summit… The evidence all leads to Cathy.” Ethan showed a grim


    expression while clenching his fists.


    The outsiders might not understand what was going on, but Ethan was under no illusions about it.


    Before this, Catherine left Summit all because James handled the project unreasonably. In this sense,


    how could she possibly have received bribes?


    “Oh no!” Freya felt a sense of incredulity. “Cathy is his biological daughter, and he’s hoping for her to


    end up in jail?”


    Ethan was indignant as well. Little did he expect that Jeffery would agree with Summit’s decision to


    shift the me to Catherine.


    Those who were unaware of the truth would assume that Jeffery acted righteously. When in fact, he


    sacrificed Catherine for the sake of protecting James.


    Of course, Reba had probably interfered in the matter as well.


    At that moment, Ethan deeply regretted his decisions.


    If he had not been deceived by Reba before this, he would have been able to keep an eye on her.


    That way, Catherine would not have ended up in this state.


    “I’m going to call my brother right now. I’ll ask him to get the bestwyer out there.”


    “Don’t bother calling. I brought awyer here just now, and there’s nothing he could do.” Ethan stopped


    her. “This matter has to do with the rk family, so no one can do anything about it.”Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
