Chapter 56 What Is Catherine up To

Catherine called Adam. She decided to use her former marital home in Cedarfall Hills as collateral for a bank loan, hoping to secure 300 million dollars.

All that remained was for the bank to approve the application and release the funds. If everything went according to plan, the money would be in her account by next Tuesday.

What Catherine hadn’t anticipated was the bank’s immediate reaction. Upon receiving her loan request, they called Harry.

Harry was in a meeting when Adrian suddenly appeared and interrupted. “Mr. Zimmerman, there’s a phone call for you.”

Harry excused himself, took the phone from Adrian, and walked down the hall.

“Who’s on the line?” he asked casually.

“The bank,” Adrian replied concisely. “They said Mrs. Zimmerman has put the Cedarfall Hills villa up as collateral.”

Harry’s hand froze. That was the marital home he shared with Catherine.

After their divorce, he had already signed the property over to her. Logically, it wasn’t his concern if she mortgaged it or sold it.

Yet a lump rose in his throat. The memory of seeing Catherine with Jeremy yesterday reignited a surge of malicious intent.

He picked up the phone. “Do not approve her loan.”

A fawning voice responded immediately. “Of course, Mr. Zimmerman. We’ll do exactly as you say.”

Harry hung up, gripping the phone tightly, though his voice sounded casual. “What’s Catherine been up to lately?”

Adrian started to leave. “I’ll look into it right away.”

Harry waved him off. “It’s fine. I don’t care what she’s doing. It’s none of my business.”

Adrian nodded. “Alright, I’ll get back to work then.”

As he worked, he made a point of quietly checking on Catherine’s recent activities, just in case Harry asked again.

Chapter 56 What is Catherine up To

2/2

Harry stared out the window, a cigarette unconsciously pressed to his lips. He bit the filter a few times before tossing it into the trash.

He wasn’t much of a smoker. He only lit one when he was annoyed.

When had he started getting so easily irritated over things concerning Catherine? Was it because she was with Jeremy that she seemed so eager to sell their villa?

Harry definitely didn’t want Catherine to get what she wanted.

When Catherine heard the news, she stood abruptly. “Why won’t you approve it? You

personally appraised the property, and the title is in my name. What reason could you possibly have to reject it?”

The bank manager replied, “I’m sorry. I genuinely wanted to approve your loan. But after an internal review, we decided the amount was too large and too risky, so we had to deny it.”

Catherine stared at him intently. “I’m guessing the high risk isn’t the only reason.”

The manager remained calm. “You’re overthinking it, Ms. Quinn. This was a unanimous decision by our team.”

Catherine didn’t say another word. She gathered her documents and turned to leave the bank. After waiting an entire week, this outcome was more than a little frustrating.

With a loan out of the question, selling the villa became her only option.

Other matters could wait, but funding couldn’t. In just a single week, the lab had already burned through a million. The pace at which they were spending left her scrambling for a way to raise money quickly.

Catherine tossed her bag onto the passenger seat and called Adam, instructing him to sell the villa on Cedarfall Hills.

She had once considered the place her home. She cherished every corner of it, only to realize later that her attachment had been nothing more than self-deception and wishful thinking.

Adam hesitated. “Ms. Quinn, are you sure? That was your marital home…”

“It’s not anymore,” Catherine replied calmly. “Mr. Mayo, just do as I say.”

Adam let out a sigh but nodded in agreement.
