Catherine drove to Michelle's residence with mixed emotions. The place looked warm and inviting. Clearly, a lot of thought was put into it. The yard was filled with roses, and a white cat was lying on a swing in the garden.
This had once been her dream home, but Harry had given the house to Michelle. She suppressed the emotions rising in her heart and rang the doorbell.
Michelle appeared on the second-floor balcony. She looked down at Catherine with a smile. "Ms. Quinn, you're here."
Catherine naturally lifted the gifts in her hand. "I'm here on behalf of the company."
"How thoughtful of you, Ms. Quinn." Michelle came downstairs to open the door and invited Catherine inside. She casually ran her fingers through her hair, revealing red marks on her neck.
"The house is a bit messy. I haven't had time to call housekeeping yet."
Catherine didn't miss the love bites on Michelle's neck, or the rumpled nightgown and used condoms scattered on the floor. Michelle wanted her to see all this.
Catherine pulled herself together and placed the gifts on the coffee table, saying softly, "Ms. Stone, I'd like to discuss the partnership."
Michelle sat on the couch, looking at Catherine. Since no one else was around, she didn't bother pretending anymore and spoke carelessly, "I'll be direct then. If you want me to give you this project, you need to divorce Harry and leave Neovara."
Just as she had expected, Michelle would definitely use this project to force her to leave Harry. What she hadn't anticipated was that Harry apparently hadn't told her they were already getting a divorce.
Now, all they needed was the divorce certificate. Still, she could divorce Harry, but she would never agree to leave Neovara.
"I refuse to meet your demands." Catherine looked at Michelle calmly. "I won't leave Neovara."
Michelle crossed her arms and smiled. "Then, we have nothing to discuss. You can watch your company go bankrupt."
Catherine stared at her steadily. "Michelle, just what are you afraid of?"
