Chapter 196
Catalina’s eyes widened in surprise, but she just shook her head, feeling nervous inside.
“I don’t know, ten percent of the shares… is that what you promised to give Jennifer after the divorce?”
“Uh–huh.”
“I really don’t know. This is the first time I’ve heard about it…”
“Jennifer said that you instructed Devan to threaten her with her friend’s job to give up her shares.”
Catalina’s eyes widened in an instant.
Her heart was in her mouth, but she couldn’t panic.
“Brayan, what do you mean?”
Tears of grievance welled up in an instant, Catalina cried her heart out.
“Are you saying I was buying off Devan behind your back, and then had Devan use Jennifer’s friend to threaten Jennifer into giving up her shares?”
Catalina asked Brayan with a hoarse voice, but Brayan remained silent.
Equals default.
Catalina clenched both fists tightly, sharp nails digging into the flesh of her palms.
Brayan suspected her…
Chapte 196
Brayan actually doubted her?!
If it was high school Brayan back then, hearing someone badmouthing her behind her back, she wouldn’t just go confront them, she would make that gossip disappear from school.
Brayan loved her so much.
Because she was his first love.
He swore to protect his true love for a lifetime.
Catalina never doubted Brayan’s feelings for her, at least not until they graduated from high school.
So she had the confidence to dump Brayan and go abroad.
She believed Brayan wouldn’t bear to leave her, he would give up everything to fly overseas to find her.
However…
Tears as big as beans rolled down Catalina’s eyes, plopping down like beads with broken strings.
Who changed Brayan?
Is that Jennifer?
Catalina didn’t believe it.
But at this moment, Brayan was actually questioning her here just because of a sentence from Jennifer.
“Brayan, am I really such a cunning, selfish, and despicable woman in your eyes?”
Catalina couldn’t stop crying, her voice trembling.

Chapter196
“What are we? We went through that dark period at the Juvenile Detention Center together when we were teenagers, you protected me, I protected you, we went from first love to life and death… Even though fate separated us, we reunited because of the piano… Even after we broke up, I came back, back to you… Brayan, I never changed, you promised you wouldn’t either… But now? Have you really not changed? You’d rather believe a stranger’s instigation than believe in all these years of understanding you have of me, my character… You, this way, really breaks my heart.”
After Catalina passionately finished saying all that, she covered her face and burst into tears.
She really cried her heart out, feeling extremely sad and devastated.
Not pretending.
Brayan couldn’t help but think about what Catalina had said.
Catalina said Jennifer was an outsider.
Jennifer was his wife, actually his better half.
But Jennifer is getting divorced from him again, or you can say it’s none of our business.
Brayan sighed heavily.
“Sorry Catalina, it was my fault.”
Brayan had known Catalina for so many years, but it was the first time he had seen her cry so hard.
Catalina had known Brayan for so many years, and this was the first time she had seen Brayan apologize so sincerely.
Catalina wiped her tears with the back of her hand, sobbing as she

said, “Well, as long as you believe me, that’s all that matters. ”
“I definitely believe you.”
Brayan handed Catalina a tissue and wiped away her tears, finally making her smile through her tears.
“After work tonight, wait for me to pick you up. Just order whatever you want to cat.”
“Is this considered compensation?” Catalina pouted, “You’re being too cheap, aren’t you?”
Brayan smiled and said, “After dinner, tell me what you want and I’ll buy it for you.”
“This is almost there.” Catalina said, her tear–streaked face finally returning to its usual sweet smile.
She didn’t stay in Brayan’s office for too long, just packed up her things quickly and left.
I heard Brayan’s gentle voice behind me.
“Good luck at Jewelry Fashion Week.”
“Mmm.” Catalina smiled and left Brayan’s office.
Brayan’s soft lines on his face gradually turned cold.
He picked up the phone lying on the desk and answered the call.
The first record was Jennifer’s phone call.
But he doesn’t remember talking to Jennifer.
He called back and soon heard Jennifer’s voice on the other end of the line.

“Brayan?”
“It’s me. What’s up with the call you made carlier?”
Jennifer on the other end of the phone was surprised.
Did Catalina tell Brayan about her phone call?
Jennifer was feeling a bit skeptical.
“I’m at Spring Nursing Home now, my mom… she said she wants to see you, can you come over?”
Jennifer was a bit nervous.
She wasn’t sure if Brayan would agree to her request.
