I'm Sorry, But I Love You novel Chapter 45

Sure enough. Not long after Catherine had arrived home, she received a call from Arthur.

Arthur said politely, “Miss Johnson, Mr. Clark wants to see you in the Clark Group.”

“I won’t go. If he has something to tell me, ask him to come over.” She could figure out it was because of those photos without a second thought. Catherine was lying on the bed. She didn’t want to move at all. She felt quite exhausted to deal with such things.

Feeling her denial, Arthur said with a smile, “Miss Johnson, Miss Sophia misses you very much. Are you sure you don’t want to come over to see Miss Sophia and Mr. Lincoln?”

Upon hearing Arthur’s words, Catherine smiled ironically. Sophia and Lincoln were just like baits in Anderson’s hands, and she was the fish. Although she knew she would be killed as soon as taking the bait, she still chose to take the bait.

After taking medicine, Catherine straightened herself up and hailed a taxi to the Clark Group.

Anderson didn’t lie to her. Both Sophia and Lincoln were at the Clark Group. When seeing Catherine coming over, they trotted to her.

“Mommy, you finally came to see Sophia!” Sophia sounded aggrieved.

Catherine did quick math -- she hadn’t seen Sophia for almost half a month. The little girl grew so fast. Obviously, Sophie became taller.

Catherine squatted down and comforted her, “I’m sorry, but I’ve been quite busy.”

Sophie complained unhappily, “But, Mommy, if you don’t come to see me, I’m afraid I would forget what you look like.”

Catherine felt sore in her heart, her eyes reddened slightly. “I’ll try to see you both often in the future.”

Sophia finally became satisfied. She pulled Catherine’s hand and pressed her down on the sofa. Then she trotted to Anderson and grabbed his hand.

“Daddy, come over.” Although Sophia was afraid of Anderson, she was bold enough. Every time she stopped crying, she would call Anderson boldly.

Anderson frowned. He glanced at Catherine, stood up, and sat down on the sofa opposite Catherine.

Sophia’s face crumpled up. “No, not like this. Daddy, you should sit next to Mommy.”

The two adults were arranged to sit on the same sofa side-by-side.

Catherine felt quite uneasy. She tried her best to suppress the uneasiness and asked, “Sophia, what are you doing?”

“My teacher has taught us a dance and asked us to show our parents, but you’ve never been together, so my homework hasn’t been finished,” Sophia complained, “In the whole class, only my brother and I didn’t finish the homework.”

Catherine felt sore in her heart.

Sophia asked Lincoln to play the music. She waved her arms childishly, beginning to dance a child’s dance.

If the stiff shoulders of the two adults could be ignored, the scene was a happy and sweet one.

However, the happiness was soon broken. Before Sophia could finish dancing, the door of Anderson’s office was pushed open. Together with the noise of the door opening, there came a coquettish voice. “Andy!”

Hearing the voice, Catherine couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over her body.

When Sienna pushed the door open and saw Catherine sitting next to Anderson while watching a little girl dancing, her expression changed instantly.

Anderson stood up and looked at Sienna. ‘Why are you here?”

Hearing Anderson’s voice, Sienna looked aggrieved. “I happened to see Catherine and Auntie Aubrey in Cloud Club, so I reminded her not to get too close with the Torres family, but Catherine slapped me...”

Anderson looked indifferent.

Seeing him like this, Sienna added while gritting her teeth, “It’s OK if she hit me, but I can’t stand that she has also humiliated Miss Isabella who has passed away.”

Hearing Isabella’s name, Anderson’s expression changed. “What did she say?”

Anderson didn’t react at all when hearing Sienna was hit, but when she just mentioned Isabella’s name, his expression changed.

Sienna’s heart was full of hatred at this moment.

She inwardly comforted herself that Isabella had already passed away so that she could calm down. “You can listen yourself. I don’t want her to say that I wronged her.”

Sienna tabbed on her phone and started to play the recorded audio, passing it to Anderson.

“Isabella, who played dirty tricks in front of me, has already been lying in the graveyard. And you are far less capable comparing with her.”

A clear voice rang out from the speaker. Anderson’s face became darkened instantly. He stared daggers at Catherine with his cold eyes.

Sienna felt so happy inwardly. At this moment, she said gently, “Andy, why don’t you ask Arthur to take the kids out? You’re angry now, which is not good to the kids.”

With the kids’ presence, how could Anderson teach Catherine a good lesson?

“Arthur, take Sophia and Lincoln out,” said Anderson in a cold tone.

Lincoln stood in front of Catherine. Sophie also sensed something wrong. She rushed to Sienna and hit her with her little hands. “You bad woman! Stop bullying Mommy!”

Sienna subconsciously pushed away Sophia.

Sophia was only five. Pushed by her and falling on the ground, she cried in a grievance, “Stop bullying Mommy!”

Seeing that, Catherine felt a sharp pang. She pulled Lincoln, walked to Sophia, and held her in her arms. “Sophia, my good girl, don’t cry. Go out to play with your brother. They won’t bully Mommy.”

Sophia wrapped her arms around Catherine’s neck, feeling a sense of insecurity. “No! I want to stay with Mommy!”

“Arthur, take her out!” Anderson ordered again.

Arthur walked up and forcibly held Sophia out of Catherine’s arms.

“Lincoln, go out with Uncle Arthur. I’ll be all right.”

Lincoln looked at Catherine with reddened eyes.

Catherine deliberately fell her face. “Hurry up. You should cheer up your sister.”

Lincoln reluctantly released his hand that grabbed Catherine’s. Before leaving the office, he glanced at Anderson with his black eyes.

The three adults were left in the office. With a cold face, Anderson approached Catherine. “You’ve finally admitted, haven’t you? It’s you who killed Isabella.”

Catherine smiled sadly and bitterly. “I haven’t. She edited the record.”

Anderson felt so angry that he laughed out. “Catherine Johnson, do you always think that everyone else a fool?”

Catherine smiled at the furious Anderson. “Nah. You are the only fool always.”

Her words were full of disdain. When was Anderson referred to as a fool before? He grabbed Catherine’s collar. “What did you just say?”

Catherine raised her voice. “I said, you, Anderson Clark, are a fool. Hear it?”

The disdain in her eyes had become a sharp weapon. Catherine couldn’t care about anything. After all, Anderson would never believe her.

She had explained to him so many times, but he never believed.

Now with an edited audio clip in her hands, Sienna made him believe.

Anderson was enraged. “Do you have a death wish?”

“Anderson Clark, I’ve never feared the death.” Catherine’s voice was peaceful and calm.

Anderson was taken aback for a moment, recalling how she looked when she was soaked in the blood.

Seeing his expression, Catherine laughed more widely, “My parents are all gone. The Johnson family is also gone. I’m not afraid of death at all. Besides my children, Anderson Clark, what else do you want to threaten me with?”

When she smiled, she looked like a glamorous flower blooming in hell.

Seeing that Anderson couldn’t do anything to Catherine for a moment, Sienna felt such a deep hatred that her nails cut into the flesh of her palms. Suddenly, she was enlightened and said, “Mr. Clark, and the Torres family. She killed Isabella. For sure the Torres family has helped her.”

Upon hearing Sienna’s words that added fuel to the fire, Catherine broke free from Anderson’s grip. She walked to Sienna with cold eyes.

Sienna was frightened and she took a step back.

Catherine gazed at Sienna’s face and her red lips parted, “Didn’t you feel enough pain in Cloud Club just now?”

Sienna shouted at Anderson in fear, “Andy, please help me!”
