Chapter 109
Catherine’s POV
Hearing the figure from Melinda, Vanessa was desperate. Her face turned deadly pale.
For an ordinary werewolf, it was simply a whopping price.
Sure enough, Vanessa said with a trembling voice, “Melinda, it’s indeed my fault. I can go and
apologize to Lorelei. But I can’t afford the penalty. I don’t have that much money.”
Melinda sneered, “Then I guess you should pay the police station a visit and reflect on your mistakes
there.”
“No! No… Don’t take me to the police. I made a mistake because I was jealous. Melinda, Catherine,
please don’t tell on me. I will find a way to give you the money.” When Vanessa heard that Melinda was
going to call the police, she hurriedly begged.
“OK. Pay the penalty, admit your mistake publicly, and apologize to Catherine. Things will be settled
then,” Melinda said coldly and ruthlessly.
Vanessa was reluctant. “Melinda, I have already agreed to pay the money. I can’t stay here if everyone
knows what I did. Please! I can give you the money. But can you keep this a secret for me?”
I was surprised. Vanessa was such a coward. Who gave her the courage to steal my design and frame
me?
“No. I don’t agree,” I rejected Vanessa.
Melinda thought the same. She said with a cold face, “If you don’t come clean, Catherine will be the
one who takes the blame.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtVanessa instantly raised her voice and said, “Are you saying that it’s all my fault? Catherine was the
one who stole my client the minute she was here and humiliated me. Melinda, don’t you think you are
being unfair? You always look out for her, and now you are taking her side and blaming me. You just
want to protect Catherine. Who knows what you’re
up to?”
I was angry when I heard that she had dragged Melinda into this. “Vanessa, you just wanted to make
me look like a fool back then when you asked me to greet Lorelei. You were upset because my design
was better, and Lorelei chose mine instead of yours. So, you stole my design to frame me.”
Vanessa was so angry that her face turned red. “Melinda told me to take care of you, so I let you have
my client. How could you think of me like this? Who is the vicious one here?”
Melody stared at Vanessa and said, “Enough. The proof is right here. Either apologize or go to the
police.”
“Melinda, you can’t take me to the police! I’m going to Guy!” After saying that, Vanessa turned around
and left.
“Melinda, is she close with Guy?” I asked curiously.
Melinda sneered, “Guy won’t let her make a scene no matter what. Don’t worry.”
Melinda and I sat in the office for a while. Sure enough, Guy called soon.
Yet Guy only wanted to see me in his office.
Melinda patted my shoulder and said, “Go. I’m sure Guy wouldn’t dare give you a hard time.”
I nodded and went to see Guy.
As soon as Guy saw me come in, he immediately smiled warmly. “Catherine, I heard about the fuss
from Vanessa. She is a stupid gal. Did she give you a hard time? I have talked to her already.”

He seemed to be telling me that Vanessa and he shared a unique relationship.
I asked, “Mr. Tenny, I don’t know what you’ve said to her. Is she going to apologize to me publicly? If
so, I would be very grateful. You are the head of our company, and all of us should learn from your
impartiality.”
Guy pulled a long face when he heard my subtle sarcasm.
“Catherine, I will deal with this properly on behalf of the company. I will get you a satisfactory answer.
And I will take care of your loss caused by Lorelei. Can you drop this?” Guy said.
After hearing what he said, I said lightly, “Mr. Tenny, I can forget about the fact that Venessa stole my
design, but she ruined my reputation and made everyone in the company think that I was a person
without talent or moral standard. I won’t let this go. I’m sorry.”
Guy gave me a disapproving look. He said, “Catherine, I read about you and Leo online. Leo is King
Blake’s younger brother. If you are Leo’s mate, I don’t even dare to offend you. And there’s no need for
you to take this job seriously. But Vanessa is different. If she loses her job, she will have nothing.”
I sneered, “Mr. Tenny, she broke the law. Why should I sympathize with a criminal? Besides, I’m not
Leo’s mate. We are not even friends. So, this job is very important to me as well.”
Guy looked at me in disbelief. “You said you have nothing to do with Leo?”
“Exactly.”
Guy’s face immediately became a little stern. He said, “Catherine, I hope that you can change your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmind for our company’s sake. It’s normal for colleagues to learn from each other. Vanessa has already
apologized to you. Why can’t you cut her some slack?”
I gawked at Leo, who suddenly changed his attitude, in surprise.
I said, “Mr. Tanny, from what I’ve heard, you still think that Vanessa could run away from her
responsibility?”
“Catherine, stop pushing your luck. If you still want your job, drop it right now,” said Guy coldly.
I thought it was ridiculous. I turned around and left.
“Catherine, what the fuck do you want?”
Guy caught up with me and blocked my way. His face turned ferocious. “You know you won’t end up
well.”
I sneered coldly, “I’ll lose my job at most. But I will not let anyone ruin my reputation whatsoever.”
“Fine! I will ask her to apologize to you. But if you still want to stay here, get ready for what’s coming to
you,” said Guy.
Not long after I returned to the office, I received a public apology letter in the company’s mailbox. It was
sent by Vanessa.
I sat in my seat and stared at the apology letter. I could feel sympathy and complicated gazes from all
around.
Just yesterday, I was still a shameless plagiarizer, and now, Vanessa took all the blame.
Vanessa had already left the company to avoid being accused.
“Catherine, don’t take what I said to you yesterday seriously. I didn’t know that Vanessa was the one
who stole the
