The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 69

Belinda barged in, board members trailing behind her, radiating tension.

She strode up to Catherine, lifted her arm, and slapped her hard across the face.

“Do you even realize how much trouble you’ve caused SilverLeaf Industries?”

Her accusations came rapid-fire, her tone so certain that there was no room for doubt—Catherine was already guilty in everyone’s eyes.

Catherine barely had time to react. She pressed her burning cheek, ears ringing, head spinning.

“You’ve cost The Green Family a fortune too. You’re unbelievable.”

One slap wasn’t enough for Belinda. She raised her hand again, aiming for Catherine’s other cheek.

Catherine squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for the impact, but nothing happened.

She cracked her eyes open.

Lance was standing in front of her, his back broad, his arm outstretched, stopping Belinda’s hand mid-air.

His face was tight with anger, his eyes cold and furious.

“This is a workplace.”

Belinda yanked her hand back and stared at him. “She made a huge mistake, and you’re seriously going to protect her?”

“We don’t even know what happened yet. Even if it was her, I’ll handle it myself.” Lance’s words rang with authority. He didn’t care who was watching, not even the board.

Belinda’s expression twisted. “This is ridiculous. The board is here, and you still want to sweep this under the rug? I have proof!”

She pulled a few photos from her bag and slapped them down on the table.

Every photo showed Catherine with Gavin.

Catherine looked at them over and over before she realized what they showed: her visiting Gavin at the hospital, bumping into him at her prenatal checkup, and last night, Gavin waiting for her outside the SilverLeaf building.

There was one shot—her handing a sealed envelope to Gavin, him taking it—the moment blown up and impossible to miss.
