Chapter 107
Third person’s POV
After Lorelei taught Catherine a lesson, she returned to the company. Then she packed up her things and headed home. She drove a red sports car and lived in an upscale community. She only occasionally returned to her parent’s place in Sunset Pack
Today’s performance should have been a success. However Lorelei’s reputation was badly damaged because of the dress she wore.
There were a lot of negative comments online, criticizing her bad taste, which made Lorelei hate Catherine’s guts. Lorelei slapped Catherine today, yet she still felt that it was not enough.
Later, Lorelei’s agent told her that her popularity seemed to have risen a lot, since her dress had become a trending
topic.
Therefore, she felt a little better. Whether people were criticizing her or not, as long as her popularity rose, it was a good thing for her, a star.
Lorelei had been on her phone after she entered the elevator. When she reached the door, she took out the key and was ready to open the door.
But her door opened the moment she pushed it.
Lorelei was terrified, and her hands shook. She subconsciously thought there was a burglar in her home.
She instantly pushed open the door and rushed in. Unexpectedly, she saw a row of men in black. A young man took the lead. When she saw so many people in her home, her face turned pale with fright.
She pointed to them and said, “Who are you? How can you break into my home? Do you know what you are doing? This is illegal! I will call the police now.”
“Lorelei, did you slap a woman called Catherine today?” the young man in the lead asked her coldly.
“Catherine?” When Lorelei heard the name, she sneered coldly, “She is a liar. So what if I slap her? She deserves it. If you know what she did to me…”
*Do it!” the young man immediately gave the order. Two men went toward Lorelei in an instant. Lorelei was caught off guard when they slapped her face hard.
They slapped Lorelei ten times in a row. Lorelei’s face was swollen, and her nose and mouth were bleeding. She couldn’t even speak
“You…. Why did you slap me?” Lorelei’s arrogance was completely gone. She looked at the tall and strong men in front of her with fear and uneasiness. She felt that her two cheeks were burning, and her nose was bleeding. She felt that she was going to die.
“Remember, no matter what Catherine did to you, if you dare to pick on her again, you won’t get away.” Seeing that Lorelei had been slapped, the man stared at her coldly. “If you dare to call the police, people will find your body in the Pacific Ocean tomorrow. Do I make myself clear?”
Lorelei was just a paper tiger who bluffed in front of people around her. Now, since she was slapped and warned, she no longer dared to be arrogant. She immediately nodded and said, “No, I… I won’t call the police. Please.. Please spare me. I promise I won’t show up in front of Catherine again. Don’t kill me. I don’t want to die.”
The young man sneered and left with his men.
Lorelei hurriedly closed the door and fell to the floor in desperation.

“How could this be?” she muttered. She immediately ran into the bedroom. Looking at her ugly face in the makeup mirror, she burst into tears at once.
Were those men here to avenge Catherine? who the hell was Catherine? How could she have such a terrifying power behind her?
Lorelei suddenly regretted that she shouldn’t have been so arrogant and bullied Catherine. In fact, Lorelei could have gone through the legal process to get justice for herself regarding today’s matter. But she picked on Catherine because she was too resentful.
If it weren’t for the group of men, Lorelei would have slapped Catherine a few more times tomorrow to vent her dissatisfaction.
However, that was not going to happen, since it would be the same as digging her own grave.
Catherine’s POV
The next morning, I received a message while I was having breakfast.
I hurriedly checked the message. It was Leo. He told me that he had found the person. It was Vanessa.
I paused my breath for a second. Sure enough, it was her. It was outrageous.
Leo was so reliable. He managed to dig everything up in such a short time.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After the meal, I went upstairs to change my clothes. I said to Dowen apologetically, “Dowen, I have to go to the company early today, so could you please ask Blake to dress Hedwig later?”
I said and ran out.
I rushed to the company early in the morning and saw a folder on my desk. It should be the evidence that Leo had sent earlier this morning.
I opened it at once and saw several contracts with Vanessa’s signatures. There was also a recording pen.
I turned back to look at Vanessa’s seat and sneered. She was so shameless. She stole my design draft and sold it. The contract stated that she sold it for two thousand dollars to a clothing factory’s owner who specialized in online business.
I was about to snap. It was my draft. Who gave Vanessa the right to benefit from my work? And I was slapped by Lorelei. My reputation was ruined.
There were more and more colleagues arriving at the office including Melinda. She came over and asked, “Catherine, how is it going?”
At the sight of Melinda, I quickly took the folder and followed her into the office.
“I asked a friend to do some digging. I know for sure now that it was Vanessa. She stole my draft and sold it to the owner of a clothing factory. This is the recording and the copy of the contract the owner provides. See? Vanessa signed it.”
When Melinda heard my words, she was shocked. She also became furious after she flipped through the contract. “It’s a crime, Catherine. Since you have enough proof, I think you should go to the police.”
“I think so as well.” Vanessa did such a terrible thing to me. I wouldn’t let her get away.
I talked to Melinda, and we agreed that she should inform Guy about this before I called the police. So, I left her office.
