Chapter 51
Chapter 51
Eileen Reynold knew clearly that her husband was blackmailing. Although she seemed to make a lot of money, she also spent much. Hence, when her husband was blackmailing, she didn’t stop him.
It was just because she thought this woman had no money or power, who was absolutely a pushover.
However, Mr. Clark showed up here, and Eileen became panicked. However, she still wished that Anderson wasn’t here for this matter.
With a trembling voice, she asked, “Mr. Clark, why are you here?” Anderson answered expressionlessly, “My children were involved in a fight. I came to check on them.”
Upon hearing his words, Eileen felt as if a basin of cold water was pouring above her head. Her heart sank and she knew that she was doomed.
With a flattering smile, she said, “It’s just a trifle among the kids. Nothing serious.” Anderson cast a cold glance at the mid-aged man.
The man also realized that this man must be quite superior since his wife was flattering him. Instantly, the man’s expression changed and echoed with a smile, “Yeah. Just a trifle.”
“It’s alright. We’ll compensate you according to your requirements, MR. Elliot. I’ll ask my attorney and personal financial advisor to inform you about my annual income.”
Anderson’s tone was indifferent. Eileen’s face turned as pale as a paper. “It’s OK. We don’t need the compensation.”
Anderson chuckled. “No, it’s not gonna work. Otherwise, the rumors would say that I bullied my employee by my power. As for you, if I’m not mistaken, you are a manager of the market department, aren’t you? So far, I don’t think you have the same concept as Clark Group. I’ll ask my subordinate to
investigate if you have done something outline. If you have, I hope you can quit peacefully. Wish you find a new company and a bright future.”
He couldn’t demand absolute purity for his employees. According to his years managing Clark Group, he knew it clearly. If he deliberately looked into her, she must have done something.
Blood drained from Eileen’s face. She did do quite a lot of awful things. If she left Clark Group, how could she have a bright future?
Noticing that his parents kept silent, Robinson tugged the hemline of Eileen’s blouse and accused, “Mom, avenge me! This brat beat me while pressing me on the ground.” Eileen suddenly hit her son. “Shut up.”
Seeing the chaotic scene, Catherine looked over at the teacher and said, “Although this kid made trouble first, he was injured more seriously. Besides the ninety yuan disinfection fee, I’ll also compensate the kid another one thousand for his nutrition fee. Besides, both Sophia and Lincoln have parents. Miss Martinez, I hope you can pay more attention to them and never let other kids bully them on this excuse.”
Hannah took over the money and looked at Catherine, her eyes full of admiration. “Please rest assured. I’ll pay more attention in the future.”
When Catherine took the children out of the office, the Elliott family was still making a farce. Looking at the scratch on Lincoln’s hand, Catherine asked gently, “Does it hurt?” Lincoln, who kept silent all the time, shook his head. “No, it doesn’t.”
‘I’ll take you to disinfect although it doesn’t hurt.” After finishing her words, Catherine looked over at Anderson, her eyes cold. “May I take them both to the hospital for a checkup please?”
When she was talking to the children, she looked so tender. However, when she talked to him, she looked quite resistant. A trace of discomfort flashed through Anderson’s heart.
“Daddy, I want to go to the hospital with Mommy.” Sophie raised her little head and looked at Anderson expectantly as if she would burst into tears if he said no.
‘lll ask Paul to sent you there.” After uttering a sentence, Anderson walked towards the school gate.
Cather hadn’t expected that she would encounter her teacher, Adonis Brandon, who just knocked off. Adonis looked at Catherine in confusion, and then looked over at Anderson.
Then his gaze fell on Catherine. “Didn’t you say that you guys weren’t married?”
Anderson cast a deep glance at Catherine.
Catherine answered awkwardly, “We divorced.”
Adonis was quite familiar the both. He said jokingly, “You still come to pick up your children after divorce. I can see you are still in a harmonious relationship.”
‘The kids were involved in a fight at school. We came to resolve the problem.” Catherine looked quite awkward. Anderson was not a good-tempered man. She was afraid if Adonis had said something that offended him, he would do something bad to Adonis.
Catherine said solemnly, “Mr. Brandon, please don’t joke about this matter. We’ve been divorced for six years, and we have our own lives. If his fiancee heard about your words, she would be upset.”
Adonis also realized that he had said something inappropriate. He shook his head and said, “It’s my fault. Just you liked him that much, and I have such a deep impression.”
‘I don’t like him now.” Seeing that Catherine was so eager to distance herself from him, Anderson was pissed. He said coldly, “I’ve never liked her.”
Although she had known this fact for a long time, when she heard his words again, Catherine still felt a sharp pang in her heart as if something was biting her bones, and it hurt continuously…
She smiled helplessly at Adonis.
Adonis didn’t get angry. Waving his hand, he said with a smile, “Forget it. I’ll leave you youngsters to take care of your own businesses.”
When he was leaving, he looked at Anderson and said, “Time waits for no man. You should know yourself as soon as possible.” When Anderson was sitting in the car, his face was still darkened.
Catherine took Sophia and Lincoln to the hospital for checkups. Except that Lincoln had a scratch on his hand, they were both alright. The doctor simply disinfected the wound and let them leave.
Walking out of the hospital, Anderson wanted to take away the children. Catherine couldn’t do anything. She trotted to a shopping mall nearby to buy some food and toys for the children. Under Anderson’s disgusted gaze, she pressed them into the hands of Sophia’s and Lincoln’s.
“If you miss me, just talk to the toys. I’m missing you guys, too.” After finishing her words, Catherine held Sophia and Lincoln and kissed them both.
Standing at the spot, she watched Anderson’s car leave, feeling quite lonely.
The car had gone for a long distance, Sophia was still looking back reluctantly while clinging to the car window. Until she couldn’t see Catherine anymore, tears dropped from her eyes. She looked at Anderson in a grievance.
“Daddy, I want Mommy to be with me. Can you remarry Mommy, please? The TV said you can live together after you two remarry.”
The child didn’t understand the complicated matters between her parents. All she wished was that her parents could be together.
Anderson’s eyes darkened. He just kept silent. Sophia cried more loudly. “Bad Daddy! Bad Daddy!”
Lincoln was afraid that Sophia would pissed Anderson. Covering his sister’s mouth, he said, “Come on, Sophia. Let’s play the toys bought by Mommy.”
Sophia sniffed, holding the toys that Catherine had just bought. Shortly, she was amused by Lincoln.
Anderson saw her holding that cheap toy as if she was holding a priceless treasure. She had never been so happy even when she was in the amusement park bought by the Clark family. Suddenly, he asked, “Don’t you blame your mommy on giving birth to you in such an environment? Don’t you blame your mommy for having so many men?”
Sophia didn’t understand Anderson’s meaning, looking at Lincoln in confusion.
Lincoln looked into Anderson’s eyes and answered seriously, “If I didn’t get it wrong, it was you who sent Mommy to that kind of place. Speaking of that, you should be the one to be blamed.”
When he was speaking to Anderson, there was hatred in his eyes. It seemed that his hatred would become reality, which made Anderson’s heart skip a beat.
Lincoln didn’t care about Anderson’s expression. He added, “As for the latter, I don’t think we should blame Mommy.”
