Catherine's POV
I returned to the company in a daze. Everyone in the company saw me differently, because yesterday's
launch was very successful. So, almost everyone was discussing me.
I forced a smile and greeted my colleagues walking over to me.
Melinda called me into the office. She looked at me with a face full of joy and said, "Cathy, what's
wrong? What's bothering you?"
I showed the address to Melinda and said, "I just found out where my parents used to live.
Unfortunately, it's been demolished and turned into a man-made lake."
Hearing that, she comforted me and said, "Cathy, don't worry. I'm sure you will find your parents!"
"Maybe. It's just that I have to wait. It's excruciating," I smiled bitterly.
"Cathy, yesterday's launch was a huge success. You have no idea how many people in the company
are envious of you," Melinda said with a smile.
I pulled a wry face. However, I figured that being envied by others was a good thing. At the very least, it
was better than being envious of others.
I was working in the afternoon, when the door was suddenly opened by Melinda. She said anxiously,
"Cathy, check out what's trending on Twitter now. Something is wrong!"
Seeing she panicked, I thought something went off about the launch yesterday. I hurriedly checked
Twitter and saw photos of myself and Harley hugging.
"What?" My mind went blank, and I froze.
Melinda looked at me anxiously and asked, "Cathy, what is going on? Why are you and Harley..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI continued to look at the photos with my eyes wide open. There were four photos uploaded, two of
which showed me being held head-on by Harley while he kissed my neck, and in the other two photos,
I was being pressed up against Harley at the door while he kissed my long hair.
As the person involved, I knew that it was just a hug, and it was in a situation where Harley was out of
control. However, in the eyes of others, there was a lot more going on, since the two of us were
hugging.
"Damn Gina! She is behind this." I punched the desk. I knew Gina wouldn't be so kind as to let me off
the hook. Yet I didn't expect that she would find someone to take photos of me and Harley.
"Cathy, did anything happen between you and Harley?" Melinda asked worriedly.
I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No. I went to meet Gina this morning, and she set me up. I didn't
know that Harley was in the room. Also, Gina had drugged him. He did these to me, because he was
muddleheaded. I was very afraid at that time. There must be someone else in the room. Gina must
have had these pictures taken to frame me. She's so insidious."
"Cathy, it would be bad if King Blake knew about this."
As soon as Melinda finished, my phone rang. The two of us looked at each other, and Melinda pulled a
long face.
"Sure enough. It's him!" I smiled bitterly and picked up the phone.
As expected, I heard anger in Blake's voice. "Catherine, what's with the photos online? When did you
get so intimate with Harley?"
He sounded so furious. For a moment, I didn't know how to explain.
"It was a misunderstanding. It was not what it looked like in the photos." I explained weakly.
"I'm coming to you now. You'd better explain it to me!" After saying that, Blake hung up.
I held my phone in shock. I was stunned for a few seconds before I weakly lowered my arm. "He is
coming for me."
"Then just explain it to him. Don't let him get the wrong idea about you." Melinda said with concern.
"I will explain, but I'm afraid he won't believe me." I was worried. After all, no matter how I explained it,
the photos were real.
After more than ten minutes, I received another call from Blake, who was already at the gate.
I left Melinda's office. As soon as I walked out, I saw others' astonished gazes immediately.
When I entered the office, I was greeted by all kinds of people. Now, everyone looked at me with
disbelief, as if I were a monster.
Indeed, I gave birth to kids for Blake and was his announced girlfriend. I should be satisfied. Why were
there photos of me being intimate with another man?
Life did have its ups and downs. But anyway, there were some things that I must face.
I went downstairs and saw Blake's black car parked quietly in the center of the gate at the entrance of
the hall.
I quickly walked over and opened the car door. I saw Blake's gloomy and dissatisfied expression.
He exuded a strong aura, which made both my wolf and I feel very uneasy and nervous.
I bit my lip and sat inside.
"What happened?" Blake instantly looked at me.
There was a hint of helplessness in my voice. I said, "Gina set me up."
When Blake heard me, he froze. He immediately ordered the driver, "Drive."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBlake didn't say another word in the car. He didn't ask me anything.
I was very uneasy. Blake's silence made my heart beat faster.
I didn't know where Blake was taking me. I just knew that I had a lot of mixed feelings right now.
After the car stopped, I realized that we were in a wealthy resort in Sayreville.
Blake got out of the car and walked forward heavily.
I had to follow him quickly. Blake walked into the living room of a leisure villa, and I followed him.
As soon as I entered, Blake immediately pulled me into his arms. The next second, he kissed my lips
fiercely.
Before I could explain anything, I felt that he was sucking my lips like crazy.
I was very scared and powerless. Right now, I could feel that Blake's rage was creeping up on his
sanity.
However, in the next second, Blake pushed me away. His eyes were scarlet. "I don't care who set you
up. You hugged Harley. Where did he kiss you? Here?"
As he spoke, he fiercely kissed me on the neck. I pushed him away.
Blake took a step back. He was like an angry beast right now.
Blake was losing his mind in anger, and he even disrespected me.
I calmed down immediately and said, "Are you really not going to give me a chance to explain? I can
assure you that none of the things that you're picturing in your mind happened."
"Really? He touched you. Where did he touch you? Shouldn't you tell me?" There was jealousy in
Blake's eyes.
His words upset me. Tears filled my eyes, but I held them back. "Blake, it seems that you don't care
about what I have suffered. What you care about is whether I slept with other men. So, when you say
you love me, you mean you love my innocence, not my feelings."
