The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 65

“You’ve got the wrong person.” Catherine slid her credit card toward the sales associate.

The woman smiled, then pulled out a photo from her bag. “Catherine, everyone who works here has a copy of your picture.”

Catherine knew her face was hard to miss. She looked almost exactly like the woman in the photo. Someone must have recognized her the second she walked in and posted her photo in the staff group chat.

“Sorry, I don’t want the shoes anymore,” Catherine said, setting the box down and turning to leave.

The sales associate scrambled to grab the shoes and hurried after her, holding out the bag. “Please, Catherine, don’t make this harder for us. If you leave now, Gavin will take it out on us.”

“She’s right. Catherine, please just help us out,” another worker pleaded, stepping in front of her.

Catherine could tell they were genuinely worried. With Gavin’s temper, she didn’t blame them. She sighed, resigned. “Fine. I’ll pay Gavin back later.”

She took the shoes and finally managed to get out. She headed straight to SilverLeaf Industries, barely slowing down on her way through the city.

When she reached the office, she grabbed her briefcase and went directly to the conference room. The project manager was already deep into a presentation about the upcoming partnership with the Green family.

The meeting had already stretched to an hour and a half. Lance was slouched back in his chair, legs crossed, looking completely at ease.

Catherine’s entrance drew a few looks. She just nodded, then quietly took the seat next to Lance.

“Lance,” she said softly.

He barely looked up, eyelids flicking open. That was as much of a greeting as she was going to get.

The project manager, sensing Lance’s scrutiny, grew even more tense. “SilverLeaf has done plenty of projects like this, but don’t worry, Lance. We’ll stay sharp. We’ll make sure everything goes smoothly.”

For the Green family, this deal was huge. It could decide their entire future. For SilverLeaf, it was just another project, but because Lance was here in person, everyone was on edge.

Catherine had come in late, but she caught up quickly, jotting down the key points and organizing them before turning her laptop toward Lance.
