Chapter 623

A pin-drop silence fell upon the meeting room. From Shaun’s tone, it sounded like he was giving
Catherine special treatment. Was it because she was his ex-wife?

Besides, the way she spoke to him made it seem like there was still something between them.

Within a few minutes, the shareholders became flustered and regretted having stood up for Sarah.

Oh no, it would be horrible if they were brought over to Shaun for a ‘little chat’.

Director Irvine coughed dryly. “Um… We’ll respect President Hill’s decision.”

“That’s right, we’ll go along with anything that President Hill says,” the rest of them echoed and nodded
immediately.



Sarah turned pale instantly. She had been waiting in front of the door to see Catherine get humiliated,
but now it seemed she was the one feeling embarrassed instead.

“Why are you still here?” Catherine suddenly turned around and waved her phone at the woman. “Didn’t
you hear what Shaun said? Hurry up to hand over your things. I really don’t want to see you in my
company.”

“…”

Sarah was utterly infuriated. Her eyes welled up with tears but she lowered her head and immediately
left.

The shareholders were all at a loss of what to do. It was all President Hill’s fault for putting his ex-wife
and current girlfriend in the same place.



“Right, back to business.” A stern expression came over Catherine’s face. “What was that about? ‘We’ll
respect President Hill’s decision?’ What has he got to do with this company? If you all love kissing ass so
much, then quit right now and go work for him.”



She slammed her palm on the table, her eyes overflowing with indifference. “Remember that this
corporation was built by my mother and she was a Jones. If you can’t accept that, then just leave and
enjoy the yearly bonus at home. Your sons, daughters, and relatives who work here will pack up and go
with you.”

…

The meeting finally came to an end.

Harvey looked at Catherine with respect. “Chairwoman Jones, you were really impressive just now.
When you were in charge in the past, you still showed much respect to those shareholders. But earlier,
your dominating presence really told them who’s boss. You’re awesome.”



She was speechless at his words and coughed dryly. “People change. I used to respect them and
treated them as elders and as comrades who would fight in battle alongside myself. But I realize that the
feeling isn’t mutual. Those people only care about personal profits and benefits.”



“Many people are like that.”

Harvey suddenly looked to the front.



Catherine followed his gaze, only to see Sarah walking toward her while carrying a box full of belongings.
She was accompanied by Yael, who was looking at Catherine with disgust.

“Catherine, don’t look so smug.” Yael glared at her. “You’re threatening President Hill with the marriage
certificate. We all know that he doesn’t care about you.”

“You’re only a bodyguard. Don’t act as if I’ve stolen your man.”

Catherine pouted. “There’s so much you could learn from Elle’s grace.”

“You…”

“Alright,” Sarah said to Yael. “Well, why won’t you just let go and have a new beginning with another
man? They hate to be threatened the most. You might be left with nothing if you provoke him further.”

Catherine smiled before whispering next to Sarah’s ear, “Stop pretending. Remember how you destroyed
everything I had? I’ll slowly pay you back for that.”

Sarah narrowed her eyes and chuckled. “Do you think you can compete with me? Dream on. I can easily
crush you to death, like an ant.”

“Is that so? We shall see, then.” Catherine straightened up and walked past the woman.

“Catherine, you’re too naive,” Sarah said to her receding silhouette, “Many partners who are working with
Hudson now are only doing so out of respect for me and Shaun. They’ll stop the collaborations once I
leave. Soon, Hudson will lose the ability to keep going. I’ll be waiting to see what you can do then.”

“Don’t worry about that. Hurry up and get lost,” Catherine replied impolitely.

Rage was written all over Sarah’s face.



After leaving the building, she made a phone call. “Manager Howard, get the word out that Catherine has
offended both Shaun and me. He’s not bothered about the Hudson Corporation anymore.”
