I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 44

The woman was Owen’s mother, Aubrey Hunter.

She was a bestie of Catherine’s mother and she watched Catherine grow up. Catherine treated her as a respectful and loving elderly. Her glamorous and aloof face became softened. “Hi, Auntie.”

“It’s such a difficult time for you these years, Catherine.” Aubrey grabbed her hand and said, “Come on. Let’s have facial care upstairs. Your delicate face needs good care.”

Although she treated Aubrey as a respectful and loving elderly, Catherine knew what she was doing. “No, thanks, Auntie. I have to return to my work later. Please go ahead and tell me what I can do for you.”

She knew the service provided in Cloud Club — as long as the customer informed the staff, the outsider would be led by the staff upstairs naturally. However, she was stopped downstairs, which meant someone deliberately made it difficult for her.

Usually, such a trick was used when women from the upper-class wanted to avoid the poor girls who wanted to hit on their husbands.

Catherine knew such kinds of tricks very well. Much to her surprise, someone would play such a trick on her someday and the person who played it was Aubrey, who had watched her grow up.

It would be untrue if she admitted that she didn’t feel uncomfortable. However, Catherine could understand, because things were totally different now.

Aubrey kept smiling warmly. “It’s quite difficult for you to make living now. I won’t disturb you with your work. Let’s go to the tea house of Cloud Club and have a talk.”

In the tea house of Cloud Club.

As soon as they took the seat, Aubrey pulled out an envelope from her bag and handed it to Catherine. “Catherine, take a look at them.”

Catherine opened the envelope and saw photos, on which Owen pulled her into his arms and hugged her in Antonio’s hospital. The photographer took the photos from a good angle. From the photos, they looked like lovers who encountered each other after

being parted for a long time.

Aubrey took a sip of the tea, purled her lips, and said, “You grew up with Owen since childhood. You are childhood sweethearts. I didn’t mean to separate you two. When you were sent to jail by Anderson Clark, Owen was participating in a piano contest abroad. He had already entered into the final competition, but he gave up and flew back as soon as he got the news.”

Speaking about Owen, Aubrey’s couldn’t help smiling. “He was young and impulsive. But you know, he has learned to play the piano for so many years. He didn’t know anything about business and socialization. Anderson Clark sent you in personally, so how could Owen be able to save you out easily. All he could do was to socialize with all his networks to take care of you. Since the day when you were sent in, he has never touched the piano. He spent all days in the company, learning everything about business from his father.”

“Nothing is easy in the business battlefield. In the beginning, after drinking with the big clients, he had to study overnight. Once he heard any news about you, he would go to find you and comfort you. He did that every day. Finally, he had some power in the year before the last.”

“After you came out, he left City W and went to City A to accompany you.” Aubrey heaved a sigh. “I know my son very well. He has certain craziness.”

When Catherine heard her words, her eyes became reddened. “Auntie, I’m sorry.”

“You don’t need to be sorry for me. Your uncle and I thought originally that as long as he was willing to, we wouldn’t be against you if you are together. Who knows you are tangled with Anderson Clark. Catherine, you know Anderson Clark well, don’t you? He’s merciless and unscrupulous as long as he can achieve his goals. Your Johnson family used to be his in-laws, but it turned out to end in such a way, let alone our Torres family. We’re neither his family nor his friend.”

“Please understand us as parents. Could you cut off the tie with Owen, please? I’ll give you some money, which should be enough for you to have a good life for the rest of your lifetime. Please take it as the care of our Torres family for you.” As she spoke, Aubrey took out a check from her bag and put it in front of Catherine.

Catherine didn’t take it. She stood up and bowed at her for appreciation, “Auntie, I could never pay back the kindness that the Torres family gave to me. I won’t keep in touch with Owen. As for the matter between Anderson Clark and me, if he wants to revenge, I’ll ask him to aim at me only. I would never bring the trouble to the Torres family.”

Aubrey didn’t insist. “I’m leaving those photos to you. I don’t know who has taken them and sent them to our house. You should watch out.”

When Catherine went downstairs from the tea house of Cloud Club, on the first floor, she bumped into a few women who were chatting and laughing.

“Oops, isn’t this Miss Johnson?” one of them exclaimed in a sharp voice. Then she circled Catherine around like watching a rare animal.

Catherine frowned, casting a cold glance at her.

Caroline Condor was frightened by her sharp eyes and took a few steps back. When she came back to her senses, she felt embarrassed for herself.

Caroline said angrily, “You are not the lady from the Johnson family any longer. Why are you so proud of?”

“Don’t you forget that she has hooked up with Ethan James not long ago,” Sienna said with a slight smile, standing out from behind. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Mr. James is just an illegitimate child. So what if she has hooked up with him? But Sienna, you are different. You’ll be engaged to Mr. Clark,” Caroline approached Sienna and said with a smile when seeing she coming over.

Other women next to them also echoed.

Catherine felt it was so boring. “Excuse me, please let me pass. If you don’t think Ethan’s identity is good enough, you should tell him face-to-face.”

Caroline shut her mouth immediately.

Before Ethan went back to the James family, he was in the underworld and he was a ruthless man. Certainly, they didn’t have the guts to speak that to his face.

Seeing that the woman was so lame, Sienna rolled her eyes at her. Then she approached Catherine. “I guess Aubrey has already had a talk to you. Do you like the gift fram me to you?”

Catherine stared at Sienna and asked in a cold tone, “Did you take the photos?” She emanated a strong imposing manner. Under her aura, Sienna started to sweat on her back. She forced herself to calm down and said, “So what if I did take the

photos? Do you think that only Aubrey has them? I also asked someone to send them to Anderson. Guess would Anderson aim at the Torres family and do something?”

Sienna’s tone was gloomy as if she was a snake. “Pak!” Catherine raised her arm and slapped Sienna across her face.

Then she grabbed Sienna’s collar. Although Sienna was wearing high-heels, she was still shorter than Catherine. Look down at her, Catherine said, “I don’t know if Anderson Clark would aim at the Torres family and do something, but I know it hurts when I slap you.”

Sienna was frightened by Catherine’s imposing manner. Her face paled but she couldn’t utter a beep.

Catherine smiled disdainfully. Pushing away Sienna, she said, “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.”

Sienna fell to the ground. Other women who came here with Sienna had no guts to stop Catherine at all while witnessing such a scene.

Sienna could only watch Catherine disappear from Cloud Club. She was so angry that she glared at her besties around her. “Are you all blind? Didn’t you know to help me?”

Caroline whispered in a trembling voice. “Just now, Catherine Johnson was so frightening. I dared not, but I recorded her voice. You can tell Mr. Clark. He loves you so much, and certainly, he would help you.”

Loving her so much?

Caroline’s careless words poked Sienna at her sore spot.

She knew clearly that if he wanted to use her to stimulate Catherine, Anderson would never let her wander around him. However, Anderson didn’t love her but he loved Isabella.

Sienna rolled her eyes and looked at Caroline. “Give me the record.”
