I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 27

Anderson was purposely causing her trouble. If Owen wanted to protect her, he would be in an endless trouble too.

He replied faintly, “Alright, I’m hanging up.”

The servant beside him carefully reminded him, “Young master, Ma’am asked you to hand over your cell phone to me.” Owen looked at her coldly and posted on his social media, “If she’s willing to, I’ll ask for her hand in marriage now.”

He attached a photo of him and Catherine along with the post. The two young people in the photo were smiling happily.

The servant who guarded Owen was shocked upon seeing his post. Not only that, he also tagged the official page of the Torres family.

The servant’s face turned pale. This scandal had become worse now. “Young master, Ma’am will blame you for this.” Owen stood up and his expression was cold, “Il don’t care.”

When Catherine saw Owen’s post, she was completely startled. Owen had always been a staid man. If it wasn’t because of the verification above, she wouldn’t have thought that he was impersonated.

He still got himself involved in this matter. Emilia’s face turned red in excitement when she saw Owen’s post, “October, Mr. Torres likes you, right?”

Catherine shook her head because she didn’t know. Owen was emotionally reserved, but he was really good to her. She had also suspected that Owen liked her, but he denied everything when she asked him about it.

Later, she experienced too much crappy things in life that she thought she didn’t deserve a man like Owen. She also didn’t think that the young master of the Torres family would take a liking to her, so she never asked about it anymore.

“Why do I feel like Mr. Torres likes you?” Emilia didn’t want to think about work anymore and concentrated to hear her spilling the tea.

Catherine poked her head, “You are thinking too much. I’m already the mother of two kids.”

“What they say about you and Mr. Clark on the Internet, is it real?”

‘It’s both real and sham.”

Emilia said angrily, “That’s why so many people believe the scandal on the Internet. Have you offended this person?” ‘I’ve offended a lot of people.” The Johnson family used to be a noble and wealthy family. She was also a daughter of the wealthy family and lastly, she even married Anderson.

Anderson was a decent man that every woman wanted at that time. When she married Anderson, there were many of them who hated her. There weren’t much people like Aurora who was a philocalist.

Emilia speechlessly raised her thumb at Catherine, “Wow! But I could’ve guess it though. You’re such a beautiful woman. The people who stand beside you will immediately turn invincible with you around. There much be many people who didn’t like you.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After finishing her words, Emilia laid on the table dispiritedly, “The project is put on hold. If it goes on like this, I think I’ll be laid off soon.”

When she mentioned this matter, the office suddenly turned quiet and the atmosphere in the office became solemn. Catherine felt guilty. If it weren’t for her, there wouldn’t be such a big trouble.

At the Clark Tower not far away, Arthur stood outside Anderson’s office and hesitated to go in.

“What’s wrong, Arthur?” The staff who happened to pass by asked him.

“Nothing.”

“But you’ve been wandering at the door since just now. Mr. Clark could see it through the surveillance camera.”

Arthur stiffened his body and entered his office after knocking the door.

Anderson was looking at a document when he heard Arthur’s footsteps. He didn’t raise his head and asked, “What is it?”

Arthur gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Torres posted on his social media just now. If Miss Johnson is willing to, he will marry her instantly.”

With that, Arthur placed his phone in front of Anderson and retreated immediately.

Anderson’s gaze fell on those short and simple words. Then, he indifferently looked at the comments below. “Mr. Torres is such a gentleman!”

“Protecting his wife with all his strengths!”

“Look at the photo! A couple who were friends since childhood, I’m shipping them hard!”

Anderson was very pissed.

Arthur looked at his boss who was raging in flames and he dared not move forward. “Go and remind her company boss again.”

Arthur secretly felt pity for Catherine. He left the office after answering Anderson.

The video that she had recorded explaining that the comic would not be mended, was just like a Pandora box. Once it was opened, it couldn’t be closed anymore.

“October, come here for a moment.” Simon came over and shouted. Catherine got up immediately and followed him to the office, “What’s the matter?” Simon didn’t know what to do.

Catherine knew that calling her to the office, he wouldn’t be bringing a piece of good news. She took a deep breath and looked at Simon, “You can say what you want to. I’ll be able to bear with it.”

“You’ve been working hard these days. The company decides to let you go home and take a rest for a while.” Simon’s words were euphemistic.

Even though she had seen this coming, she still felt a little sad. ‘ll quit the project.” Catherine spitted out these words in difficulty.

Although she hadn’t join the company for a long time, the company still chose to buy the copyright of her comic even when she disagreed to add any romantic scenes. The company trusted her a lot and allowed her to be the screenwriter. Catherine was really touched. However, the company was in trouble because of her now, so she felt really guilty.

Simon smiled bitterly.

“Did Mr. Clark come to the company again?” Her voice slightly trembled.

“Yes.” Simon sighed, “Could you help to persuade Mr. Clark? Our company isn’t a big corporation. If this project continues to be put on hold, more than half of the employees here will lose their jobs.”

Catherine nodded. She returned to her seat to pack her things. Then, she took a glance at the office again and left this place.

When she reached the ground-floor of the Clark Tower, she looked up at the sunshine. Now, she realized that Anderson wanted to destroy her life and ruined her reputation.

Her phone suddenly rang. When she took out her phone from her bag and saw it was Nova’s number, she immediately answered it.

“Hello, Nova?”

Nova sounded anxious, “Catherine, I’ve just brought Sophia home and there were a group of reporters outside your doorstep. I didn’t dare to bring her in.”

“Don’t bring her in, I’ll return home immediately. Could you take Sophia back to your home first? I’ll go pick her up.”

“You don’t need to say that, I’ve taken Sophia home already. You can go straight to my house. The situation outside your house is too scary.” Nova still felt scared when she reminded Catherine about it.

Catherine quickly took a cab and rushed there. She was afraid of bumping into a reporter on the way there, so she covered her face with her clothes all the way to Nova’s house.

Nova was worried when she saw Catherine, “I’ve check about it when I went home just now. Who have you offended to make a scene like this?”

‘It’s okay, Nova. Thank you for bringing Sophia back.” Catherine didn’t stay at Nova’s house for too long and left with Sophia. Sophia was confused, “Mommy, aren’t we going home?”

“We’re not going back yet. Mommy is taking you for a great meal.” Catherine took Sophia to a hidden restaurant and found a private room.

After dinner, they sat in the restaurant until it was almost nine o’clock. Sophia was sleepy after finishing her homework, so she asked with a yawn, “Mommy, aren’t we going home yet?”

“Let’s go.” It was almost nine o’clock; the reporters should have left already.

She carefully took a cab to her residential district. She realized she had completely underestimated the perseverance of these reporters. As soon as the elevator was opened, the reporters simultaneously turned around.

Catherine was so frightened that she quickly closed the door of the elevator and escaped with Sophia all the way.

After they had ran far away, Catherine stood by the road and looked at the traffic in confusion. She didn’t know where to go. Her identity card was left at home, so she couldn’t even bring Sophia to a hotel.

At that moment, a black Maybach stopped in front of them.
