I’m Sorry But I Love You

Chapter 26

There was nobody around.

She seemed to have heard Anderson’s voice yesterday; it was probably a dream again. She had a headache from the hangover and tried hard to recall what happened yesterday. She kept thinking about it, but she could only remember Aurora taking her for a drink.

Sky tasted quite good to her. She vaguely remembered Aurora didn’t want to let her put all her eggs in one basket and wasted her efforts on Anderson, so Aurora called many male escorts for her. She was really drunk after that and she seemed to remember a male escort that looked like Anderson…

She didn’t know whether it was a hallucination or a dream. It was almost time for Sophia to go to school, so Catherine didn’t have much time to think about it. She quickly washed her face and rinsed her mouth.

When she wanted to prepare breakfast, she realized Sophia was already sitting by the dining table, “Mommy, let’s eat.” Catherine was confused, “Did Nova came to make this?” She didn’t remember asking Nova to prepare breakfast for them.

‘It’s daddy. He asked someone to send it here.” Sophia stretched out her hand to pull Catherine’s shirt, “Mommy, this porridge is really delicious.”

Catherine was surprised, “Anderson was here?”

Sophia took a bite of salted egg yolk custard bun and looked skeptically at Catherine, “Mommy, have you forgotten? Daddy brought you home when you were drunk yesterday.”

All the vague memories were suddenly connected together and these scenes flashed through her mind. She seemed to have thought that Anderson was a male escort. She scolded Anderson and vomited on him. It seemed like he had changed by her clothes too…

Catherine’s face turned red as she recalled everything that had happened. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide herself in a hole, but she couldn’t.

“Mommy, why aren’t you eating? This salted egg yolk custard bun tastes good too.” Catherine knew in a glance that this porridge was from a high-end restaurant, where she used to be a regular customer there.

She took a bite of the salted egg yolk custard bun and the taste was familiar to her. It was the first time she had tasted the food from this restaurant after six years. Things remained the same, but the people had changed now.

Catherine returned to the company after sending Sophia to school. As soon as she stepped into the company, everyone looked at her with countless expectations.

Catherine’s heart throbbed.

“October, have you seen the news online again?” Emilia asked cautiously. Catherine shook her head. After her cell phone was stuck yesterday, she directly uninstalled the app.

“I think you should check it again. It has caused a big scandal on the Internet now.” Emilia handed her phone to Catherine, “Someone exposed to the media that the project had been stopped. There are many people on the Internet who say that you’ve offended someone, that’s why the project have been stopped.”

“I see many people have gone to the Torres family’s official page to cause scandal, and many people are joking about letting Mr. Torres to help you.” Emilia didn’t actually say that there were many people in the company who looked forward for Mr. Torres’s help too.

Catherine looked at the comments on the Internet. Indeed, many netizens had gone to the Torres family’s official page commenting stuffs like asking Owen to help his wife, and many of them were just joking around.

However, it had caused a great impact on Catherine. She gave the phone back to Emilia, “I’ll contact Owen. If 1 couldn’t reach him, I would issue a statement saying that I have nothing to do with the Torres family.”

Emilia didn’t expect that she would make such a decision and said surprisingly, “But it won’t do you any good.” She just didn’t want the Torres family to get involved in this.

Catherine called Owen again, but it still couldn’t get through. At that moment, a post by the Torres family became a trending topic on the Internet.

There were only three simple words.

“Mr. Torres is unmarried.”

“Oh my god, what a joke. The Torres family’s official page just gave her a slap in the face.” ‘This artist is using Mr. Torres to gain popularity.”

“Even a comic artist wants to have a wealthy woman persona now?”

Emilia had been focusing on the Internet. When she saw this news, she quickly informed Catherine about it.

“Alright.” Catherine’s voice sounded a little exhausted. She knocked on the door and entered Simon’s office.

When Simon saw her coming, he smiled bitterly, “I actually wanted to gain a little trendiness for the project, but I didn’t expect that it to bring you so much trouble.”

“It’s me who caused trouble for the project.” If it weren’t because of her, Anderson wouldn’t pay attention to such a small matter at all, “I’ll continue looking for Anderson. Besides, I’ll issue a statement that I’m just friends with Owen, not his wife.”

Simon nodded and reminded, “This matter is getting trendier now. You must be more careful, I’m afraid someone will dig into your past.”

Simon stayed in the company longer than she did, so he had more experience than her in this aspect. She nodded her head.

After returning to her work position, Catherine reinstalled the app and closed the notifications bar of the app. Then, she wrote a statement and posted it.

As soon as she posted it, many comments were made.

‘It’s such a pity; your beauty really matches Mr. Torres.”

“To be friends with Mr. Torres, October must be an excellent woman.”

“I think she’s just using the tabloid media coverage on purpose. Does she want to be in the entertainment industry?”

“I think there’s a comment that the child looks like Mr. Clark. This artist knows Mr. Torres and Mr. Elliot. She should know Mr. Clark too. I’m taking a wild guess, the child is Mr. Clark’s!” Emilia read this comment beside Catherine. Catherine was stunned for a moment as she held the phone in her hand.

Emilia laughed, “This netizen is really unbelievable, but they look quite similar though. It’s true that good- looking people all look similar to each other, while ugly ones are totally different.”

Catherine was startled upon hearing this. Emilia also murmured, “Mr. Clark is too famous, this comment has been highest liked comments on your post. Catherine refreshed her page and as expected, it had been the top comment on her post.

She wanted to deny it, but she was afraid of causing more scandal. She didn’t reply it and the comment section became even livelier. Most netizens said it was impossible, Mr. Clark would never have his eyes on her.

One of the long comments attracted Catherine’s attention.

“There’s a post that says this artist has pursued Mr. Clark before and even honey-trapped him. She used to be from a wealthy family. Mr. Clark got married with her due to pressure, but he hated her the most. They have been divorced for many years now. The person who posted it didn’t dare to say much and was afraid to get caught. She did mention that there were many reporters who took pictures of this artist baiting Mr. Clark, but they were threatened by the blogger’s family to not post it out.”

‘This artist had a bad character, she didn’t have many female friends. She’s really a slut. Even when she played with Mr. Torres and Mr. Elliot, she still secretly harassed Mr. Clark.”

An anonymous long picture was attached at the end of the comment. The more Catherine looked at it, the more dejected she became. This matter was definitely exposed by someone she knew. Some of the contents were true while some were fake, but there were still many netizens who believed it.

She had a hunch that this matter would be difficult to deal with.

She had never encountered such a thing, so she didn’t know how to react for a moment. Then, the phone that she held in her phone suddenly vibrated. Catherine came back to her senses and saw the person who called was Owen.

She answered the call and walked out of the office. “Owen, have you seen the scandal on the Internet?” Owen pressed against his forehead and replied, “Yes, I have.”

‘I didn’t expect to cause you so much trouble.” What Catherine didn’t wish to happen most was to get Owen involved in this matter.

“I’m the one who wanted to take Sophia out. It has nothing to do with you.” Owen muttered, “I’ll settle the rest of the problem.”

Catherine took a deep breath and said firmly, “Owen, you’re the heir of the Torres family. No matter what happened, you must consider your family first. Don’t worry about me anymore.”

The solution to this issue was Anderson.
