Chapter 95 The Last Spot
"Today was the day when , Michelle's mother, Katharine, went was going to the West District Ron Real Estate company to sign the contract. She had woken up early and dressed carefully, paying attention even to the smallest details of her outfit.
After all, today was the mostit was an exciting day for her.
""YMom, you look really beautiful in that outfit, Mom,"" Michelle said, nodding in satisfaction as she saw observing Katharine dressed in a red suit, nodding in satisfaction.
""Of course. I had many suitors when I was young. If it wasn't for your father hadn’t deceiviedng me in the end, I wouldn't have married him!"" Katharine turned a few times in front of the mirror and was pleased with her appearance.
SThen she felt like something was missing. After thinking for a moment, she casually grabbed a bottle of perfume from Michelle's dressing table and sprayed some on herself, filling the air with its fragrance.
""Mom, that's my perfume!"" Michelle quickly snatched the bottle of perfume and held it tightly, appearing nervous and protective.
""What's wrong with me using a little bit of your perfume? You're so stingy,"" Katharine scolded her impatiently.
""This perfume is different. If you want to use perfume, use another bottle. This one was a gift from William."" Michelle clutched the perfume bottle tightly, afraid that her mother would take it away again.
""Now I need to get William's permission to use a bit of your perfume? It reallyHow upsettings me,"" Katharine said unhappily.
She felt like someone was snatching away a flower that she had nurtured for more than twenty years, watering and caring for it, just to have it taken away.
""Here, you can use this bottle of perfume."" Michelle handed over another bottle of perfume from the dressing table to Katharine.
""I won't use it anymore. It's reallyHow annoying."" Katharine pretended to be angry and walked away, waving her hand.
Michelle quickly went over and coaxed tried to make it up to her for a while before Katharine finally smiled.
""Alright, alright, I have to go now. Otherwise, I won't have enough time otherwise. I also need to visit your grandfather's company first. Some official seals are still with them,"" Katharine said as she walked toward the door.
Watching As Michelle watched Katharine drive away and gradually disappear from her sight, Michelle she felt a suffocating sensation in her chest, as if something was going to happen today.
""It seems likeI guess I didn't sleep well last night. I feel a bit overwhelmed."" After shaking her head, Michelle turned around and went to rest.
At the same time, James had beenwas waiting for Katharine to's arriveal at the company. On the desk beside him T, the official seals and documents needed for the contract were alreadyhad been prepared on the desk beside him.
""Katharine still hasn't arrived."" James glanced at the time. It was almost 10 o'clock, leaving which left only two hours to sign the contract at noon. It would take an hour to rush from here to Ron Real Estate Company in the West district. If she didn't come here soon, there wouldn't be enough time to sign the contract.
"D"Dad, please don't worry, Dad. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe Katharine’ is stuck in traffic."" Hannah, who was accompanying with James,him, tried to comfort Jameshim.
""Give her a call, quickly. If she doesn't come soon, we won't make it in time.!"" James was somewhat annoyed. How could such an important day be delayed like this? He couldn't trust her to take over the company.
""DadC, calm down, Dad. I'll call her right away.!"" Hannah saw James getting angry but felt a sense of satisfaction. This was exactly what she wanted to see.
She immediately took out her phone and dialed, but the call showed that the other party'sKatharine’s phone was turned off. Hannah put it on speakerphone tTo make sure James could hear it clearly, Hannah intentionally put it on speakerphone.
""Dad, Katharine’ is really out of line, Dad. W Today is the day we need to sign the contract today, but , and she’s turned off her phone. What if we miss the contract signing timedeadline?"" Hannah whispered sweet words into James's ears.
""This is unacceptable!"" James slammed the table heavily. This deal was worth ten billion dollars. James had been in the construction materials business his whole life and had never received such a large order before.
If they completed this order successfully, James's company would become one of the top players in the New York construction materials industry. His last wish before retirement was to bring his company to the forefront of the industry.
""DadP, please calm down, Dad. I don’t think Katharine’s that shouldn't be so careless. Let's wait a little longer.!"" Hannah comforted him while feeling secretly pleased.
‘""KatharineD, don't blame me for targeting you, Katharine! Everything I do is for the development of Dad's company. If an inexperienced person like you becomes the chairman, won't you’ll push the company to the brink?",’" Hannah thought to herself.
""Wait for one more hour. If she still doesn't isn’t here come, you can go with someone to sign the contract with Ron Real Estate,"" James said after considering the situation. He had no other choice. He couldn't give up this deal because of Katharine.
Hannah felt secretly delighted but said, ""Isn't thatis inappropriate? Katharine brought in the deal, but you want me to sign the contract. Isn't Won’t that takeing credit away from her?""
""It's her own fault for delaying things. She can't blame anyone else! Besides, if she’s late for can delay such an important day, how can I trust her to take on the position of chairman?"" Anger burned in James's heart.
"L"So let's wait a bit little longer!"" Hannah was happy. It seemed thatWith James 's words, he wcould make her the new chairman in no time!
As time ticked away, Katharine seemed to have disappeared into thin air. She neither appeared nor answered the phone.
James became restless. He took out his phone and dialed her number several times, but it showed that it was still turned off. He thought aboutof asking his granddaughter Michelle and son-in-law Noad where Katharine was.
James called Michelle first, and the call connected quickly. ""MichelleW, when is your mother coming, Michelle? Did she go to see anyone else on her way here?""
""Mom left early in the morning. Hasn’t she not arrived yet?"" Michelle, who had been lying on the couch, immediately sat up and started to look tense upon when she hearding the news.
""She left early in the morning?"" James furrowed his browfrowned, sensing something ominous.
After hanging up the phone, James paced back and forth in the chairman's office several times. Eventually, he decided to sign the contract first.
""I won't wait any longer, Hannah. YoTu take someone and go sign the contract at Ron Real Estate. I'll go find look for Katharine."" James had no choice but to make this arrangementdo that.
""Okay, Dad. I'll go sign the contract."" Upon hearing this,When Hannah heard that, her Hannah's face filled with joy. She had been waiting for this moment. Naturally, she knew why Katharine had disappeared. It was Edward's doing. He had temporarily cut off Katharine's communication.
But once she finished signing the contract, Katharine would be released. SBy then, she would have signed the documents by then, and she could take Katharine's place as the chairman. After this incident, James was not going to entrust the chairman position to Katharine anymore. Perfect.
After taking the company seal and the necessary documents, Hannah brought two assistants with her and headed to the real estate company in the West District. It was now 12 o'clock, and there was still an hour left until the contract would be signeding. They could make it in time if they hurried.
At this moment, Hannah felt like she had everything under control.
Meanwhile, Michelle, who was already anxious, became even more tense after receiving her grandfather's call. S The crucial part was that she couldn't reach her mother’s on the phone; it kept showing that it was turned off.
""What should I do? What should I do?"" Michelle was in a panic, and in the end, she could only think of one person. ""I have to rely on William to figure something out.""
In this critical moment, William was the first person Michelle thought of.
William happened to be producing a program for High Culture at that moment. After receiving Michelle's call, he quickly found a quiet place.
""What's going on? Don't worry. Tell me the situation. first."" Michelle's voice sounded urgent over the phone.
William had to understand the situation first before making any judgments. Michelle recounted all the events to William over the phone.
""Your mother is missing?"" William was taken aback. If he remembered correctly, Katharine was supposed to sign a contract with Ron Real Estate today. How could she possibly miss such an important day?
""It seems like something’s really happened to her."" William furrowed his browfrowned, carefully considering the situation. Why did had she gone missing on the day of the contract signing?
""Could it be her two sisters?"" William couldn't help but think of Michelle's two cousins, Emma and Charlotte.
But that was just speculation, and William couldn't confirm anythingit yet. He immediately called James, wanting to know who was going signed the contract on Katharine's behalf.
"M"It was my eldest daughter who’s going to signed the contract. We ran out of time, so she had to go sign it instead,"" James truthfully replied.
After hanging up the phone, William still couldn't bewasn’t sure if it was them. However, he quickly thought of a plan that might help him test their intentions.
He immediately made a call tocalled Ruby, the beautiful president of RQQ Group, and asked her to tellinstruct her subordinates not to not let anyone other than Katharine sign the contract."
