Chapter Sixteen
The smile on Catherine's face kept widening as she and Mr. Ford engaged in further discussions while Rome stood by, maintaining his silence.
“What is going on here?” Mr. Barlow calmly asked with a hint of anger in his tone when he met up with Catherine and Rome.
The instant her gaze met with her grandfather's angry eyes, Catherine's self-confidence dropped back to zero and panic was the only thing she felt.
Inside, Rome was enrage, seeing traces of fear in his wife's expression, yet he kept a calm face.
The rest of the Barlow family met up with Mr. Barlow, and when Chloe's and Catherine's eyes met, she threw her cousin a hard look then slyly smiled.
None of them said a word as they waited eagerly for Madam Rosey and Mr. Barlow to lash out and humiliate the couple.
But as Mr. Barlow moved his lips to utter a word, his eyes rested on Mr. Ford cold stare, and his entire expression softened. Then he focused his attention

Let's go.” Mr. Barlow said, sitting his wine glass on the table.Excitement was the only emotion Catherine felt as she gazed at the chairmen's lively faces, knowing that her potential was getting the spotlight it's deserved.Over the past years, she had struggled so many times to showcase her talent, yet she kept messing up for unknown reasons.However, now that she stood in the midst of the top-notches in the business world, she was sure that her past mistakes weren't due to her fault.“Bill, Elon, Francis, Benjamin, what could my gran

“What happened at that party last night!” Madam Rosey shouted, glaring at her grandchildren.The living room was awfully quiet as they all hung their head low, avoiding their grandmother's icy gaze.“Someone better start talking?” Rosey said, slamming her hand against the chair arm.There was a long pause, then Charles gazed at Catherine and smirked.“All this is Catherine's fault.” He mumbled, pitifully staring at his grandmother.A look of disbelief settled on Jeff's face as he threw his cousin a hard look and thought, ‘What are you even talking about now?’Then he gazed at Richard and Chloe, and from their expression, Jeff could tell that they were thinking the same thing.“How is Catherine to blame here?

“Good morning. What are you working on?” Rome mumbled as he stared at Catherine, concentrating on her laptop.For a moment, she focused on the screen. Then she gazed at him and said, “It took three weeks, but I'm finally finished with my final soft copy for the plans for the ‘Fine wine’ project, and I just send it to the team members.”A smile crept on Rome’s lips as he got out of bed and approached Catherine. Then he squatted in front of her and softly intoned, “You have been working so hard. I'm proud of you, wife.”“Really?” Catherine whispered, gazing into his eyes.For the past week, she had been doubting herself every step of the way, knowing how many people are expecting her to fail, and Rome knew it, even though he didn't talk about it with her.As he slowly ran his fingers through her hair, he nodded and said, “Yes. How about you take a day off, and we can go out for d

Then he walked over to the closet, took out his clothes, and got dressed.As he was about to wear his shoes, his phone buzzed on the nightstand. So he grabbed it, sat on the edge of the bed, and answered the call.“Good morning, boss. What is it?” Rome asked, eyeing Catherine for a moment.“Good morning, young master. We have been watching the team members for weeks, and we have discovered three traitors, and they are responsible for purchasing the raw material for the winery.” Mr. Orlando's voice flowed into his ear.“Really? Go on.”“We discovered that they have been pre-ordering cheaper materials with third-rate quality from the Whitewater Construction store, instead, of the first class materials your wife requested.”“I'm on my way.”

I'm an agent from CMTA, and our agency was informed that the products you are purchasing for the Winery are not quality construction materials.”“What! Every pre-ordered material that my team has made is for first-class products.” Catherine said with a frown.“That's not what the report said. Just to be on the safe side, we are sending some construction Supervisors over to your company. Please cooperate with them.”“Of course.”“Oh, and Miss Catherine, if the materials are truly not up to the national standards for building a winery, we are shutting down the project.”After the call had ended, Catherine tossed her phone on a file and r

We were told that this is Miss Catherine’s office.” One of the supervisors said.“Yes, I'm she,” Catherine mumbled, panicking a bit.“We were sent by CMTA concerning the report file to our head office.”“I know.”Suddenly the door opened again, and the chairman of ‘Fine Wine’ walked into the room.When Benjamin saw Rome, the anger in his eyes faded quickly, and he was left with a humble expression.“Good day, Mr. Barlow, Charles, Catherine…” Benjamin said, pausing when he noticed Rome slightly shook his head.“Benjamin, a pleasant day to you.” Mr. Barlow intoned with a straight face.Then he frowned as he gazed at Catherine and said,
