Chapter 43 Imprison Catherine
Harry thought Rachel must be out of her mind.
But when he remembered that Rachel wasn’t in good health, he held himself back and turned a
deaf ear to her words.
After sending Rachel home, Harry instructed Adrian to investigate what had happened to Catherine that day. Yet the four kidnappers had vanished without a trace. All he knew was that Catherine was abducted, but as for who was behind it, there was no way to find out.
Harry then went to the hospital.
Seeing Michelle’s pale face, he softened his tone. “I had your lawsuit against Catherine
withdrawn.”
“Why would you do that? She wanted to kill me!” Michelle sat up in agitation, pulling at her wound and crying out in pain.
Harry hurried over and steadied her. “If you want compensation, you can name it. Forget about filing a lawsuit against her.”
Michelle looked at him with grief in her eyes. “I don’t want anything. I only want Catherine to face the consequences. Is that too much to ask?”
“The Quinn and Zimmerman families have been close for generations. Even if I do nothing, my family won’t leave her to fend for herself. You should understand the bind I’m in,” Harry explained patiently.
Tears rolled down Michelle’s cheeks as she grumbled, “So am I supposed to just let things
slide?”
Harry let out a sigh. “You know my parents favor Catherine. If you insist on sending her to prison, it’ll never happen.”
Michelle clenched her fists and recalled what Catherine had said.
Even without Harry, Catherine had the entire Zimmerman family backing her.
If she kept going after Catherine, they would only despise her more.
Since Michelle wanted to marry into the Zimmerman family, she had no choice but to swallow her anger.
Her chest felt heavy as she gripped the blanket tighter. If Catherine gave birth to Harry’s child,

there would be no place for Michelle in the Zimmerman family.

Given how much they valued Catherine, the heir to the family fortune could only be that child.
At that moment, Michelle decided she had to find a way to get rid of that child.
She forced herself to calm down. Since she couldn’t deal with Catherine yet, she might as well take advantage of Harry’s guilt and claim some benefits.
Harry tried to comfort her. “How about this? I’ll give you two properties in Neovara. Let this
matter rest.”
Michelle sniffled and leaned into his arms. “Harry, you know I don’t care about such things…”
“I know. I won’t let Catherine hurt you again,” he promised in a gentle tone.
Logically, he should’ve felt bad for Michelle. Yet for some reason, all he could see in his mind were Catherine’s cool, distant eyes.
Meanwhile, Catherine returned to the company.
Many had seen the police take her away, and when she came back, she met curious and suspicious stares.
She ignored them and went straight to Caleb’s office.
Seeing her return so soon, Caleb stood up at once and asked, “Why are you back so quickly?”
Catherine countered, “What’s the matter, Mr. Warren? Would you rather I didn’t come back?”
“Of course not. I was hoping you’d return quickly. It’s good that you’re fine.” He smiled.
Catherine couldn’t be bothered with small talk. “Mr. Warren, I came to tell you that I’m resigning.”
Caleb froze, then grew anxious. “Why so suddenly? You’re doing well here. Besides, you’re handling several major projects. If you leave, what will happen to them?”
She smiled faintly and replied, “The contracts are already signed. Unless something goes terribly wrong, everything will proceed smoothly. As for the project with Bluebay Group, it’s better if I’m not involved. Otherwise, Michelle might make things difficult for you.”
Caleb tried to persuade her. “Won’t you reconsider?”
“No. I’ve made up my mind.” Catherine still had money on hand. If possible, she wanted to revive the bankrupt Quinn Group.
Caleb gave in. “In that case, make sure to hand over all your work before you leave.”
