The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 559

She hated Gordon with a passion.

She had wanted Rebecca to experience the same pain she had endured, but instead, Rebecca had simply had his hands chopped off.

She was far more ruthless than Katherine had ever been.

And as for Gordon…

“You’re completely useless! Weren’t you so tough before? And yet you couldn’t even handle one simple task!” Katherine screamed into the phone at him.

Gordon was still crying on the other end. “Kathy, you’re all I have now. Please help me. I don’t want to die…”

Katherine ground her teeth. “In that case, you should just go die!”

With that, Katherine angrily hung up.

Gordon was nothing but a waste of space. Since he was no longer a threat to Rebecca, he had no reason to live.

He had tormented her throughout her childhood, and no one wanted him dead more than she did.

On another front, Hogan was growing increasingly anxious, having not yet received a reply from the Thomson family.

Jane was constantly nagging him. “Honey, what’s happening? Why haven’t the Thomsons gotten back to you yet?”

Hogan shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Jane pressed, “Should we go to the Thomson estate and ask them again?”

Hogan refused. “No. If we keep showing up, we’ll look too desperate. It might even annoy them.”

Katherine’s brow furrowed. She suddenly recalled what Rebecca had said to her—that only someone who had never seen the world would treat Alan like a prize.

Thinking of this, Katherine clenched her fists. “Fine. I’ll find a better, more successful man…”

She was going to show Rebecca up.

…

On the day of the conference, Hogan managed to secure invitations, and he attended with Jane and Katherine.

Katherine had spared no expense for the occasion. She had her hair styled, visited a beauty salon, and even indulged in a full-body spa treatment. She had dressed herself to the nines, spending a small fortune.

She was hoping to make a stunning debut tonight and have all the men fall at her feet.
