Secret Wife Real Billionaire (by Ela) novel Chapter 242

"What? What are you saying?"Catherine’s disbelief was palpable, her fabricated tears still lingering.

"I'm saying we're done,"Andrew declared, taking a final drag of his cigarette before extinguishing it in the ashtray. His entire manner radiated frustration.

"Why? Why all of a sudden?”She was utterly confused, clutching at his hand. "No, I can't accept this."

"You don't have a say in this!"Andrew pulled his hand away with impatience.”Catherine, you've been expelled from Bellbanks University. You're just a high school graduate now. My family, the Kings, can't accept someone like that as a daughter-in-law. What do you have that compares to Renee? Your actions have further embarrassed me in front of Marcelo and Renee!"

Andrew looked at Catherine as though he had been misled into choosing a flawed product.

Renee, a distinguished alumna of Bellbanks University, had been a top student with an array of honors. Just her intelligence and beauty alone made her far superior to Catherine.

How had he allowed someone like Marcelo, who has a disability, to win over her?

Gary and Felicia had also insisted he end things with Catherine as soon as her problems began. They would never accept her as a daughter-in-law.

"Andrew, you can't be this cruel. You were the one who left Renee for me!"Catherine was struggling to accept the situation.

Andrew had the audacity to compare her unfavorably to Renee?

She huffed, "Yes! I might have been expelled, but what about you? You purchased your degree. You've been involved in all sorts of fraud.You are also nothing compared to…”

Triggered,Andrew didn't let her finish. He grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the car window. "Say that again, bitch?"

Only when Catherine met Andrew’s angry eyes did she come back to her senses, realizing that she had talked too freely.She should be begging him.

She had endured so much to keep him.Even endured him calling her Renee a lot of times.

She couldn’t lose him now.

"S-sorry, I didn't mean it,Drew!" Scared and anxious,Catherine tried to salvage the situation by leaning forward and pressing her lips against his.

She hoped that doing so would disarm him.

"Get the fuck out of my car!" But to her dismay, Andrew shoved her off of him and roared, "You and I are done, you hear me? Done!"

Just looking at this stupid woman pissed him off.

Catherine got out of the car and stood by the road in a daze. Andrew had slammed her head into the window earlier, and she only started to feel the stinging pain now.

She shakily touched her forehead and winced, finding that there was a big bump.

That was the last straw. Angry and humiliated,Catherine burst into sobs.

She managed to get accepted into the country's top university, but before she could even showcase her academic prowess to her fans as a straight-A student, she was expelled from the school. To add insult to injury, Andrew broke up with her in the worst way.

In the span of one day, she had lost everything!

Sobbing uncontrollably, she dialed Grace’s number and cried, "Mom, the school still wants to expel me, and Andrew just broke up with me...Mom, I don't want to leave him! What should I do? I feel so alone..."

The reason why she didn't want to let go of Andrew was that he was her best option right now.

"Baby, don't cry. Mommy's here. I'll help you!"

***********

This man!

Feeling bored, she parked the car by the river.

She opened the door and was about to get out for some fresh air.

After all, she was extremely pissed at the man sitting beside her.

But just as the door was opened a crack, a shadow flashed in front of her eyes.

The man had reached out in front of her and closed her door in the blink of an eye.

"What the hell?!”Renee couldn't stand it anymore and nearly roared in his ear. "It's just a damn offer. Why won't you let me go? And who said I had to come see you whenever I visit your company? When the contract expires, I'll be free to do whatever I want. Do you really think I'd willingly sell myself to you after cooperating with the KM Group?"

With the doors locked and the windows rolled up, only the sound of Renee’s voice could be heard inside the car.

Marcelo had almost forgotten that she had refused his offer.

The reason why he was so worked up wasn't just because she didn't even bother to look for him at the company, but that she looked for Howard!

Frowning, he said, "Renee, Harvillston is your best option."

Harvillston was a world-class brand, and other brands of the same level wouldn't hire Renee to be their chief designer.

All of a sudden, Renee cracked a smile at him. "You're not wrong;Harvillston is indeed excellent. But if Vivian wanted to join Harvillston, would you let her?"
