Chapter 49
He asked with a cold face, “Are these true?”
Hudson also went bananas when seeing the investigation result because he had a good impression on Catherine. He hadn’t expected that what she had suffered was more than what Joshua had told them. Every of their charge made him pissed off.
“They’re true. I investigated into the doctor that resected Miss Johnson’s womb, but I found that he and his families all died three years ago in a car accident. When I tried to probe into it, I found there was no clue. I guess someone has deliberately erased the clues. Moreover…” Hudson paused hesitantly.
Anderson clenched his fists tightly that even his knuckles became pale, “What else?”
Hudson took out an USB flash drive and said with a distressed look, “Mr. Clark, prepare yourself mentally when glancing through these information.”
Anderson inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and heard the teasing and taunts of some women the moment he opened a video. They were beating up, teased and taunted a woman together. The woman who was wearing a prison uniform lay on her stomach on the ground and covered her belly with her hands, desperately trying to protect the child in her belly. Her arms that were exposed were as lean as a rake, her hair was withered and yellow and her cheeks were sunken. No one would associate her with the daughter of the Johnson family when seeing her appearance.
The women surrounding her said others would not be able to notice it if they pricked her with needle. Therefore, there were rows of dense needle holes on her skin that was exposed in the air.
Anderson felt like he was about to be suffocated. This was what she had suffered during that period of time?
Hudson had been working for Anderson for so many years. When seeing his pale face, he said with a distressed look, “Mr. Clark, please close the video. You just need to know that Miss Johnson had a
miserable life during those years.”
Anderson ignored him and watched the video from the beginning to the end like he was torturing himself. There was fierceness that couldn’t be suppressed in his eyes, “Go and find out all the women who were involved in the video.”
Getting the order from Anderson, Hudson went out. Before his leaving, he told him that much information was lost and what he found out was just a drop in the bucket. As for the details of what had actually happened to Miss Johnson, only she herself was clear of it.
No wonder Miss Johnson said that human beings were more scaring than ghosts in the cemetery.
Anderson banged on the table and her hand was bleeding instantly. Nevertheless, he seemed to have not sensed it and simply buried his head in his hands.
Having finished the drawing of the chapters that should be published later, Catherine decided to give herself a holiday and contacted Arthur after hesitating for a while.
When receiving the phone call from Catherine, Arthur hastily handed his phone to Anderson.
Anderson said in a low voice, “Answer the call and see what the matter is.” Arthur then turned on the speaker.
“Arthur, can you tell me which school Sophia and Lincoln are in?” Catherine was flustered as she was worrying that Arthur would refuse to tell her.
Arthur took a glance at Anderson and replied, “In Jiaye International Elementary School.” Catherine was stunned when hearing the words ‘Jiaye International School’ because she first met Anderson in this school. “Miss Johnson, do you want to see Sophia and Lincoln?”
Catherine came to her own sense, “I just want to have a look at them. I won’t take them away. Can you please not tell Anderson about this? Arthur, please.”
When hearing her humble begging, Anderson felt a sharp pain from his heart again that he even became breathless. Arthur stole a glance at Anderson who was standing not far away and lied to her, “Okay.” Catherine thanked Arthur happily. She then carefully dressed up herself and hailed a taxi to Jiaye International School.
Students in this school were either from rich or powerful families, and only few of them who were children from ordinary families were specially recruited due to their outstanding performance in study. The school had three sub-schools, namely elementary school, junior school and senior high school. After arriving at the school, she stood at the entrance and looked at the large school with complicated feelings.
She bumped into Anderson’s arms at the gate of the school back then and fell in love with him at first sight. She kept pestering him and became acquainted with him… RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
This was the start of their entangled relationship.
When Catherine was lost in her thoughts, a middle-aged man took a turn around her and then asked with uncertainty, “Are you Catherine Johnson?”
“Mr. Trump?” Catherine also asked with uncertainty.
She had not been to Jiaye International School for more than ten years. As time flied, she grew up and her teacher grew older, and she wasn’t sure whether he was her teacher or not when seeing his appearance.
“I thought I mistook you for someone else.” Thomas Trump smiled, “What are you here for?”
Catherine hesitated for a while and decided not to tell him that she was Sophia and Lincoln’s mother and just told him she came to see her child.
Thomas didn’t probe into it, “Would you like to come to my office?”
Catherine had a complicated feeling towards Jiaye School. On the one hand, it was a place that bore her beautiful memories and her youth; however, on the other hand, it was the place where her entangled relationship with Anderson started.
Catherine followed Thomas to his office.
Gazing at Catherine, Thomas sighed, “Time flies and many years have passed by. Among my students, I’m proud of you and Anderson the most. When you wooed him back then, you caused many commotions and everyone in the school knew about that. How’s your progress now? Are you a couple now?’
Catherine shook her head.
Thomas scratched his hair, “Oh, that doesn’t make sense. I think Anderson also have feelings for you. It’s just that he looks a bit cold.”
Catherine smiled bitterly. She also thought it was just because Anderson looked cold before Isabella’s appearance. Nevertheless, after Isabella’s appearance, she finally got to know that Anderson could pamper a woman to such a degree.
Noticing, Catherine’s expressions, Thomas decided not to continue this topic, “I heard about the things happened to your family. You’re my most outstanding student, so remember not to give up yourself.”
Catherine nodded, “I won’t.”
Thomas seemed to have seen through everything, “You look even older than me. But I’m almost fifty years old. You look totally different from your energetic and lively self.”
“I grew up and became mature.”
Catherine didn’t stay for too long in Thomas’ office as he had to give a glass to his students.
Catherine then wandered around the campus. When she came to the entrance of the library, Catherine stared at the words that were carved on the wall.
Catherine, Anderson. The two names were carved in the same line and were connected by a heart-shaped sign.
She was full of romantic thoughts back then and specially pulled Anderson over to have a look. She could still remember Anderson just uttered the word ‘boring’ coldly when seeing them and left with her.
He didn’t like her. She had learned about this in the past, nevertheless, she, such a silly woman, didn’t want to give up and came to such a miserable end.
Catherine picked up a stone from the ground and scratched the two names.
When the school bell rang, Catherine threw away the stone and went to the elementary school. She checked every classroom on the floor of the second grade, yet still failed to find out Sophia and Lincoln.
When Catherine who was standing in the corridor was about to call Arthur to ask him about which class Sophia and Lincoln were in, she saw Anderson walking towards him from the gate from afar.
What was him doing here?
Could it be that he knew that she came to see Sophia and Lincoln?
Catherine was flustered.
Arthur called her right at this moment and Catherine hastily answered the call, “Why Anderson is suddenly here?”
“Miss Johnson, are you in the school? Lincoln beat his classmate in the school and the teacher called Mr. Clark and asked him to come to the school.”
Hearing that Lincoln was involved in the fighting, Catherine asked anxiously, “Is Lincoln all right?” ‘lm also not clear about the details. What about this? You can come with Mr. Clark to have a look.”
Having no mood to care about whether Anderson would find her or not, she ended the call, ran downstairs and rushed towards Anderson.
She was weak and was soaked in sweats when she stopped in front of Anderson.
Anderson frowned and stared at her face meaningfully.
