Chapter 173
When Wesley went out and picked up the phone from the carpet, the notification showed an incoming call from Shaun.

Shaun?

Why was he calling Catherine?

At that moment, a lot of thoughts and doubts flashed past Wesley’s head. At last, he picked up the phone and passed it to her while suppressing his distress.

Catherine pressed the answer button and placed the phone by her ear. Shaun’s voice that carried a trace of annoyance immediately sounded. “I’ve called you three times, Catherine. If you didn’t answer my call this time, I was already planning to call the police.”

Soaked in the water, Catherine pinched her thigh forcefully to keep herself clear-headed. “That’s going a bit too far.”

“I know full well how vulnerable you are,” Shaun said in a huff, “You can be easily trapped once you let your guard down.”

Tears welled up in Catherine’s eyes. Indeed, she had been caught in a trap and was nearly ruined, but she did not want to let him know this. Firstly, it was because she did not want him to rush all the way back from Brisbane. Another reason was that she did not want him to be associated with Hudson. Regardless of his brilliance, Hudson was among the top global enterprises. He could not afford to provoke the company.
