I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 48

Looking at the distress on Anderson’s face, a gush of complicated feelings crept up onto Joshua’s heart. When he heard about those last, he felt like he had a mental breakdown when put himself in Catherine’s place.

Not to mention Catherine was just a woman.

The one she loved the best ruined her family and caused the suicides of her parents. She suffered a lot in the prison and almost barely escaped her life for several times; moreover, she even became addicted to drugs.

He didn’t dare to imagine how Catherine managed to come through that period of time.

No wonder that Catherine became so indifferent to her former lover. If he was she, he would even have the impulse to kill Anderson.

But it was only Joshua’s thought and he didn’t dare to utter a word. Anderson, whose face was ghastly, said to Hudson in a dismal voice, “Go and investigate this matter by yourself.” Looking into Anderson’s red eyes, Hudson nodded immediately, “Roger.”

Joshua sighed lightly and patted Anderson on his shoulder, “I’ll come back now. I’ve been busy the whole night and haven’t slept.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Anderson clenched his fists, reminiscing what had happened recently. He had been opening her wounds, cracked her down and threatened her…

He even forced her to kneel in the cemetery for the whole night last evening.

He had done many evildoings on her.

A burst of sharp pain came from his heart and a rush of blood upwelled to his throat.

“Pft…”

Paul was stunned when seeing Anderson spitting out a mouthful of blood, “Mr. Clark, let me send you to the hospital.” Anderson rinsed his mouth, his face still pale, “No need. Come back to the company.”

Having no choice, Paul could only console Anderson who had ghastly face, “You’re also kept in the dark about what had happened to Miss Johnson. When we find out who are the ones behind all these, we’ll definitely let them pay the price.” Anderson smiled bitterly. Those behind all these…

Having engaging in the business world for several years, he naturally knew that those people framed Catherine because he had ruined the Johnson family and they wanted to bully her when she was down.

He was blinded by anger back then and didn’t think into these matters, or precisely, he had always been avoiding thinking of these matters.

Who was the one behind all these matters? It was himself.

The sharp pain spread to his whole body from his heart. Nevertheless, Anderson felt much better as if his guilt would be relieved in this way.

Every time when Anderson closed his eyes, that woman’s resentful eyes or a vast track of blood would appear in his mind, and he had no way to get rid of it…

Catherine knew nothing about what was happening in Ziting Villa. She insulated the wounds on her knees with plastic wrap and took a long bath. Only then did she feel less cold. She then got out of the bathtub and cleaned her wounds and applied medicine to them.

She had done this for numerous times in the past and therefore she was very experienced in this.

Lying on the bed and recalling what had happened last night, Catherine checked the news and found no news about the Clark Group’s targeting at Torres Bio-pharmaceuticals Corp. But she still couldn’t rest

assured and contacted Antonio to make sure that Anderson hadn’t done anything to Bio-pharmaceuticals Corp.

Only then did Catherine close her eyes at ease.

But she hadn’t expected that Sienna put Owen’s photo that she secretly took on the Internet attached with Catherine and Ethan’s photo, titling, “The promiscuous cartoonist hooked up with various rich men at the same time and two-timed them.

When Catherine woke up in the afternoon, she saw the push notification of this piece of news. The netizens commented that those rich men were not picky that they even hooked up with a woman at the same time. Many of them asked why Catherine could still appear in the public and questioned why she was not into prison after taking drugs.

One netizens commented: Among these young rich men, only Mr. Clark turned his nose up at her. You’re no wonder the one I follow!

Some of them even published some dirty comments. And Catherine felt headache when glancing through these comments. She didn’t contact Owen. But seeing that Ethan was also mentioned in the news, she made a phone call to him.

Ethan was reading a comic book at a corner of Sky Club. He was reading the plot that the female leader smacked in the face of the female supporting role when receiving the call and was interrupted.

He furrowed his brows, “What’s the matter?”

Noticing that Ethan was in a bad mood, Catherine thought it was because of the news and hurriedly apologized to him, “Sorry, as for the photos posted on the Internet, I have no idea about who had taken down. Sorry for bringing troubles to you.”

She guessed that Sienna was the one behind this, but she had no evidence to approve her assumption so far.

As Ethan was indulged in the comic book, he hadn’t read the news yet. When hearing Catherine’s words, he immediately checked the news on his phone. The photographer did have found a good angle and Ethan and Catherine looked like a couple who were having a pleasant conversation and looked quite intimate.

He glanced through the comments and then said, “Nice photo.”

What?

Catherine couldn’t see through Ethan’s mind and asked in a hesitant tone, “Aren’t you angry?” Ethan asked, “Why should I be angry?”

Anderson should be the one who was angry the most.

Well.

Catherine realized that she could not apply the mentality of normal people on Ethan.

Ethan narrowed his unfathomable eyes, curled his lips into a light smile, and said lazily, “Come to me in the evening. We’ll take some more photos and I will send them to Anderson.”

Knowing that Ethan was up to some mischief, Catherine refused it without a second thought. Being refused, Ethan downloaded the photo and posted it with two words, “Nice photo.”

His reply was regarded as an acknowledgement of his relationship with Catherine by those Internet onlookers. Some of them mentioned about the message that Owen posted last time. When many of the netizens were scolding Catherine for being promiscuous, few people asked Catherine to write a book to teach them how to win the favors of those handsome rich men.

Catherine was stunned for a while when seeing these comments. In the president’s office in Clark Tower, Anderson stared at the photos coldly.

He had suspected why they two were being together when seeing that woman showing up with Ethan, but he hadn’t expected that there would be a follow-up story.

Arthur said gingerly, “Mr. Ethan James’ interpersonal relationships are quite sophisticated. Should we remind Miss Johnson not to being too close with him?”

Anderson looked up at Arthur, “Do you think that that woman will listen to my advice now?” Arthur was lost for words and said inwardly, “Mr. Clark knows very well in his heart.”

With a gloomy face, Anderson pondered for a while, “Send someone to investigate how she built connections with Ethan and check what Ethan’s intention is.”

Arthur obeyed the order and asked his men to investigate it.

As Catherine had talked with Ethan about the matter after waking up and made sure that Ethan was not angry, she decided not to be bothered by this matter any longer and went back to the study to draw pictures.

The editorial completed the poster quickly and sent it to Catherine to check whether they should amend any details. Catherine checked the drawing and told the editor which details should be amended.

Emilia, who hadn’t contacted her for a long time, also sent her a message, saying that the project was progressing smoothly and the filming had started.

Catherine was quite delighted when seeing the message. Everything was progressing towards a favorable direction and she felt that her life would be perfect if she could take the children back.

Catherine felt a bit depressed when thinking of the children.

She shook her head and tried not to think about the children. The afternoon quickly passed by as Catherine was immersed in drawing.

As she did not have many unpublished chapters, in the following days, Catherine simply drew comics in the study room and only went out for taking the delivery food. After a week, she lost many weights.

On the other side, Anderson shivered in anger when reading the documents of Hudson’s investigation.
