    Chapter 170


    The initially strange act of kissing had now be familiar to Catherine.


    Even her body seemed to have adapted to the kiss.


    However, she felt her heart race even more madly than before. The kiss came with a hint of sweetness


    as well.


    Back then, she was often annoyed at how harshly Shaun spoke. Even so, he had actually helped her a


    lot.


    The kiss ended with the growling of her stomach.

    After running out of his arms, Catherine embarrassedly headed to the kitchen to get some food.


    Looking at her back, Shaun gave a smile.


    …


    After breakfast, Catherine contacted Mr. Frank to inform him that she was done with the sketches.


    Mr. Frank replied that he had gone out for work during the day and asked her toe to Linden


    Clubhouse. His leader happened to be there, so they could discuss the designs together.


    Catherine used to attend these kinds of social activities quite often when she met her clients.


    Although she did not feel like going, she eventually agreed to do it.


    At 8:00 p.m., she knocked on the door of the private room before she pushed it open. The room was


    luxurious and spacious, featuring Western decor.


    What astonished Catherine was Reba. She was dressed in a sable coat and seated in the middle of


    the couch. Mr. Frank stood beside Reba and carefully poured some wine for her.


    At that instant, Catherine felt that something was not right. She turned around, trying to leave.


    Nevertheless, two burly men dashed in and clutched her straight away. The sketches she was holding


    subsequently fell onto the ground.


    “Mr. Frank, you’ve actually been lying to me all this while.”


    Catherine seemed to have figured out everything at that moment. She red at them in fury. “I


    understand now. The incident at the construction site was both of your doings, right?”


    Mr. Frank nced at Reba in fear. He only found out about the incidentter on. He was merely an


    employee, and securing his current position in Hudson had been an uphill struggle. As such, he would


    not want to offend Reba for the sake of Talton Design, which could possibly threaten his future.


    “You have quick reactions, but unfortunately…” Reba walked toward her gracefully while holding a


    coffee cup. She was no longer delicate and pretentious as she used to be. Instead, she had be


    high-profile and evil.


    Catherine knew that this was Reba’s true nature. However, Summit had been sold, and the Jones


    family’s reputation had been tarnished. The Jones family was not even considered to be a wealthy


    family in Melbourne anymore. Why would Reba still becent?


    “Are you wondering why Mr. Frank would listen to me?” Reba pinched Catherine’s chin with a smile.


    “Were you under the impression that thewsuit would destroy the Jones family’s status in Melbourne?


    Well, you’re wrong. I can achieve much better things without Summit.”


    “What on earth do you mean?” Catherine was totally perplexed.


    Mr. Frank said courteously, “Miss Reba is now the new property general manager in Hudson.


    President Jones is thergest shareholder in Hudson, and he’ll probably be the new chairman at


    the end of the year. Hudson might belong to Miss Reba in the future.”


    “This is impossible.”


    Catherine was shocked to the core. “I’ve never heard from Dad and Mom that we own so many shares


    in Hudson.”


    “Why would Dad and Mom tell you this? They don’t even like you. You’re just a stranger.”


    With a deep voice, Catherine added sarcastically, “Have you never suspected the reason why Dad and


    Mom dislike you? They even hope for you to die.”


    Catherine’s eyes narrowed. She lifted her head and fixed her eyes on Reba.


    With a sympathetic expression, Reba clicked her tongue. “It’s because you’re not Dad and Mom’s


    biological daughter. When I was identally taken away back then, Dad realized that Mom was in low


    spirits, so he adopted you from an orphanage. Basically, you’re someone who your biological parents


    dumped at birth!


    “You wouldn’t have achieved what you have today without the Jones family. However, it’s very


    ungrateful of you to have the intention to take revenge on us. You even caused James to end up in jail.


    Dad and Mom always say that if they had known this earlier, they wouldn’t have adopted a b*stard like


    you back then!”
