Chapter 50 

I got out of bed and peeked out the window towards the front gate 

To my surprise, standing there was Catherine, a delightful sight. It seemed like she had returned from Silverdale City. 

I saw bra stopping her at the gate, so I quickly opened the window and shouted, “Let her in!”  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Then, I hurried downstairs 

Upon hearing the commotion, Jaylan also followed suit 

As my eyes locked with Catherines we both broke into smiles and started our performances 

Alle I’ve missed you so much! Had I not returned to Silverdale City. I wouldn’t have known you were back” Catherine put a large bag and a box of toys on the coffee table rushed over and gave me a tight hug. “Why didn’t you call me when you got back?” 

She pinched me hard, and I knew she had something to say 

“Catherine, it’s been a while!” I responded accordingly. You were in Silverdale City?” 

I led her towards the sofa, deliberately asking the question 

Indeed, it’s been a while since I’ve been back. There was some business in Silverdale City, so I took the opportunity to visit home, and also visit your parents “Catherine answered 

Jaylan greeted Catherine enthusiastically with a smile, “Catherine, it’s great to see you!” 

“Is it? I’ve been here a few times but couldn’t even get past the gate Catherine shot back, “Your maid is too devoted to her job, she’s completely impartial but heartless” 

I nearly laughed at her comment, it was exactly what Clara had said about Zora earlier 

Zora looked embarrassed, so I signaled her. “You can go about your business!” 

Hearing this, those two women headed towards the quest room 

I warmly invited Catherine to sit down. She scrutinized me up and down, exclaiming, “Allie, you’ve lost weight! And your hair… why did you cut it?” 

Ifeigned helplessness and sighed. “I had to cut it after I fell sick and started losing a lot of hair 

Catherine glared at Jaylan reproachfully. “Mr Dawson, you haven’t been taking good care of our Aaliyah 

Jaylan, with a forced smile, sat down next to me. “Catherine, you are right I failed to take good care of Allie and let her suffer” 

“A man can’t always be busy with work Your wife is your real treasure, especially Aaliyah, she’s a lucky charm, indispensable!” Catherine was fearless in her critique, her words packed with double meanings 

Jaylan, clever as he was, understood the implication behind Catherine’s words, and humbly nodded in agreement 

Catherine, pleased with Jaylan’s response pointed to the large bag she’d brought, ‘Allie, your father Galen sent you some family food from home. He told me to bring it to you!” 

I was moved to tears at the sight of the bag. Jaylan quickly brought it over, commenting. You parents are thoughtful. Allie has been quite picky with hes food lately Now we have something appetizing” 

I looked through the bag, indeed, it was filled with my favorite dishes and snacks from home. 

Catherine picked up the big box and shook it at Carl, who was engrossed in play, This is a toy for our little Carl!” 

Carl became excited and started clamoring fat his dad to open it 

I turned to Jaylan, “Why don’t you play with Carl for a bit? I’ll take Catherine for a chat in the room.” 

Jaylan quickly agreed and courteously said to Catherine, Then you two go ahead! It’s been a while since you saw each other, have a good chat Catherine, dont rush off, stay for lunch!” 

“Great! I’d love that!” Catherine readily agreed, and I warmly led her upstairs. 

Once in my room, I gestured for Catherine to keep quiet, opened my phone and checked the live feed of the surveillance cameras Jaylan was distractedly unwrapping Carl’s toy 

With the surveillance video running on my phone, I urged Catherine, “Quick, speak up. He’ll be here soon.” 

Catherine hurriedly took out the medicine she had brought and handed it to me, whispering, “It seems Jaylan is indeed after your father’s shares in VitalAs Pharmaceuticals During his recent visit, he deliberately inquired about your father” 

I pondered for a moment before replying. “That makes sense! He’s already got a grasp on the situation at VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals.” 

Also, I got some news. Our old community there might be turned into a tourist town by the government. The compensation is said to be substantial. He couldn’t have missed that news” 

Compensation?” I echoed

Catherine nodded, and we both understood what this meant. 

I sighed in resignation, That seems to be the crux of the matter!”
