Chapter 37

Jasmine’s face immediately turned red from the slap, her cheek now sporting, clear red handprints as the covered her face and angrily shouted, “Caitlin, how dare you hit met”
Caitlin casually flicked her hand and responded nonchalantly, “Sorry, my hand was a bit itchy just now. Whenever I hear someone being obnoxious, I can’t help myself. Maybe I’ve slapped enough idiots to be addicted to it.”
“You”
Jasmine was about to explode when she saw Scott’s car pull up outside. She immediately rushed to meet him, her voice trembling, “Scott! Scott… Waaaah…
Scott saw Jasmine crying and immediately asked, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying? What happened to your face?”
“Someone hit me!” Jasmine sobbed dramatically.
“Who dared hit you? They must have a death wish!”
“It was her! She hit me!”
Jasmine pointed at Caitlin, but Scott only saw her back and didn’t recognize her. He stepped forward to approach Caitlin, shouting, “Who do you think you are, bullying my girlfriend? You want to die, huh?”
When Caitlin turned around, Scott froze for a moment.
“Caitlin, is that you?”
Seeing Caitlin made Scott furious. He had heard from Jasmine how she had been the one behind all the trouble during the birthday party. And he, of course, had been the most embarrassed that day, almost sent to the hospital.
Now, seeing the person responsible for it all, it was no surprise that he was furious.
“Caitlin! Why did you do that? Why did you set me up?”
Hearing Scott shout, Caitlin curled her lips into a cold smile, “Scott, which day are you talking about? What did I set you up for?”
–
“Don’t pretend! You know what I’m talking about — the Royal International Hotel…” He didn’t even want to recall how bad the situation had been.
“Oh, you mean the incident on the news? How Scott spent twelve hours battling with a burst pipe in the Royal International Hotel’s bathroom and ended up in the hospital?”
Caitlin continued, her hand covering her nose and mouth in mock distaste, “What a lovely smell you must have had.”
Scott was disgusted by Caitlin’s words, already feeling like he still smelled bad.
“Alright, stop! Let’s not talk about that. Tell me why you bullied Jasmine. Why did you hit her?”
“I wanted to join LIG, and she wouldn’t let me in!” Caitlin calmly explained.
Scott snorted in response, “You think you can just waltz into LIG? Do you think you can just hide here after all the mess you’ve caused? Jonathan already said it: you made the mess, you clean it up. Don’t think LIG or The Lewis Family is going to fix it for you!”
“I don’t need The Lewis Family’s help, but I don’t want to hear you barking here either! LIG used to be TGV. If I want to enter, I’ll enter. No one’s stopping me!”

Caitlin’s hatred for Scott ran deep. If it hadn’t been for his sweet–talking all those years ago, she wouldn’t have been tricked into giving up her TGV shares.
And when her mother needed money for treatment, he kicked her aside. Later, this man and his accomplice tried to have her killed.
She still hadn’t settled those scores.
“Move aside!”
Caitlin’s anger flared. Quincy stepped forward to push Scott and the others aside, clearing a path for her.
To be precise, it was his assistant who had been kicked through the door and landed heavily on the floor with a loud thud.
Jonathan froze, staring at the scene in disbelief. His phone fell to the desk.
“Isn’t my welcome ceremony special enough? You’ve sent the entire company’s security to stop me from coming in. I just want to ask, isn’t this place TGV? Is it not allowed for me to come back to my grandfather’s company?”
