I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 37

Honestly, Catherine was moved by his question.

She wished to sicken Anderson more than anyone else.

Ethan narrowed his eyes with a smile as if he could see through her mind. He reached out his cell phone to Catherine. “Leave me your contact information. I’ll ask the people from the website to contact you.”

Catherine added his phone number.

Then Ethan lay back on the sofa leisurely, picking up a girls' comic book to read.

Catherine and Aurora left his office together.

“Will the master of the Elliott family hold a birthday banquet tomorrow evening?”

Ethan’s voice suddenly sounded from behind while Catherine and Aurora reached the door and were about to walk out.

Aurora nodded. She looked at him in confusion. “Yes, he is. But don’t you always refuse to go to such kind of event?”

Ethan put on an evil smile. His gaze fell on Catherine. “I want you to go with me.”

Catherine knew that he would go there because he wanted to sicken Anderson, but now he was his boss, so she wouldn’t refuse him. She hoped that she could meet Sophia and Lincoln at the banquet.

Aurora was a bit worried. “I start to doubt if this is a good thing for you.”

“It’s alright. Nothing would be worse than my current situation.” She had been living in hell. How bad could it be?

Aurora didn’t continue to convince her.

…

Ethan acted pretty quickly. In the early morning the next day, the person in charge of the website called Catherine, giving her a brief introduction of the company and asking her to have a face-to-face discussion in the company if she had time.

Catherine also got to know that Ethan’s platform was hiring full-time painters as well as remote ones who could work from home.

Although she wanted to go out and socialize with others, she was afraid that Anderson would threaten her with those people, so she finally chose to work from home.

Since she was woken up by the call, she didn’t have the plan to go back to sleep. After taking a shower, she went to the study and started thinking about the new script.

She had been idle for a long time. Now she restarted to work, she still felt something awkward. Trying to control her mind, she tried her best not to think about things that she couldn’t resolve right now.

After thinking of the conception for a few hours, she felt starved and her tummy groaned. Then she ordered takeout on the phone. While eating, she took a look at her phone.

A message about Sienna going to engage with Anderson popped out.

Her finger paused.

She wondered if they would be engaged for real.

Recalling the rumors that she heard in the private room the other day, Catherine started worrying about Sophia and Lincoln.

On the other hand, Arthur also reported the news online to Anderson.

Anderson stared at the news, frowning deeply.

Arthur asked tentatively, “You’ve been quite close to Miss White recently. A lot of reports are keeping an eye on you. Miss White’s men gave such news to the media and obscurely misled them that you’re going to engage. Shall I do something?”

Anderson kept silent for a long while. Then he asked, “Do you think she would read such news?”

“Who?” Arthur didn’t get who he was referring to. Subconsciously, he answered, “Miss White has spread a large amount of this press release, and it could be seen on almost every platform. As long as a person has a smartphone, he or she could read it.”

Upon hearing that, Anderson’s face became more darkened. He remembered that Catherine was quite easy to be jealous in the past. As soon as there was a woman beside him, she would always question him with tactics. Now the rumor about Sienna and him was wildly spread, but she had no response at all.

Seeing Anderson’s expression, Arthur finally realized that “she” mentioned by Anderson must be Miss Johnson. He panicked.

Anderson asked again, “What’s she been up to recently? Did she request to see Sophia and Lincoln?”

Arthur said with hesitation, “Miss Johnson was quite close to Miss Aurora Adams recently. They stayed in Sky Club most of the time. Today it seems she’s resting at home. We didn’t receive any request from her to see Miss Sophia and Mr. Lincoln. Perhaps Miss Johnson is quite busy.”

Quite busy?

Anderson sneered.

Perhaps she was quite busy ordering the money boys.

“You can leave now. Buy an evening dress and inform Catherine Johnson to attend a banquet with me tonight.”

Upon hearing it, Arthur hurriedly left Anderson’s office. He wanted to inform Catherine, but he couldn’t reach her after making several calls to her in a row.

Catherine didn’t notice the calls from Arthur at all. Right after finish her meal, she received a call from Ethan, who was waiting downstairs of her apartment. The man leaned against a camouflage jeep, wearing a pair of sunglasses.

He was standing in front of the community entrance, attracting a lot of passers-by. When Catherine went downstairs, she saw a lot of young women asking him for his contact information.

Seeing Catherine, Ethan squinted. “Get in the car.”

His tone was firm.

Catherine knew that in Ethan’s eyes, she was just a tool to sicken Anderson. Hence, she sat in the car obediently.

When she pulled the rear door open, she was stopped by the man behind her.

Ethan raised his chin, hinting her to sit on the passenger’s seat.

As soon as Catherine sat still, she noticed that there was a call coming from Arthur. Before she could answer it, the man who was driving beside her snatched the phone from her hands, muted it, and tossed it onto the backseat.

Catherine frowned. “I’m afraid that he calls me for my children’s matters.”

Ethan cast a glance at the woman. “Did you give birth to the children staying with Anderson now?”

Catherine nodded.

“The Clark family bought an amusement park for them to enjoy. You don’t need to worry.” Ethan chuckled. “They are leading a happier life than staying with you.”

Catherine kept silent. The Clark family was quite wealthy. In terms of materials, they could treat the children much better than she could, who was a person without any power or money.

Ethan drove her directly to a club for helping the celebrities do makeup. He sat on the sofa with crossed legs and ordered, “I want her to be the most beautiful woman in the banquet tonight.”

After finishing his words, he pulled out a comic book from nowhere, on which it was wrapped with a bloody dark comic cover.

However, Catherine believed it would be a girls' comic book instead.

The stylist had been busy for two to three hours before Catherine’s makeup was completely done.

Looking at the woman in the mirror with a delicate makeup and gorgeous outfit, Catherine curled up her lips slightly. Although she looked as if she was smiling, the irony in her eyes exposed what was going on in her mind.

This was the first time that she wore such an expensive dress and such delicate makeup in the recent six years.

Seemingly she had seen herself six years ago when she still was the lady from the Johnson family. However, the vicissitudes in her eyes told her that she could never go back.

Shaking off her thoughts, she walked downstairs to find Ethan.

The red tube top dress set off her slender figure. Her long black hair was slightly curled, pinned behind the ear, revealing the small and exquisite earlobes on which the earrings with bits of diamonds around the ruby were hung. On her fair slender neck, there was a necklace of the same style. Her eyes were shining, which were even more dazzling than the ruby on her neck.

It took her too much time for the makeup. When Catherine walked down, she yawned. A hint of impatience appeared among her eyebrows and eyes.

Ethan saw her coming down and his eyes lit up. “You look gorgeous in this way.”

“Thank you.”

Catherine’s mouth corner slightly curled up, making her look enchanting. If looking at her closer, however, it would be discovered that her beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

Ethan looked at her and became more interested in her.

The birthday banquet of Robert Elliot was held in the Elliot family’s old house. Robert used to study abroad when he was young, so he liked the European styled building very much. Hence, the old house of the Elliot family looked like a castle.

When Catherine and Ethan arrived, it was a bit late. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, countless gazes fell on her instantly.

With a single glimpse among the crowd, Catherine saw Anderson.
