Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 843: Chapter 843 You’re Actually Defending a Woman

How could this be!

Catherine Ford’s hair was in disarray, her face pale and trembling slightly. She had been with the company for five years, and everyone knew she was married with children, but nobody knew about her divorce. Catherine Ford always preferred keeping her personal matters private, especially from her co-workers.

Suddenly being exposed by Anna Ford and involving Benjamin Jones made her entire body tense up. She abruptly shook off the hand of the colleague who was supporting her and walked towards Anna Ford step by step under the shocked gazes of everyone.

Anna Ford looked at Catherine’s pale face with satisfaction, thinking to herself, let’s see how you deal with this, undisturbed by Catherine’s approach. What could a powerless, insignificant village girl do to her?

Slap!

Right when Anna Ford gave a careless grunt, “What I’m saying is uh…”,

Catherine’s slap was fast and abrupt; everyone was taken aback. The sound of the slap stunned everyone, and the struck Anna Ford’s mind buzzed, stars appearing before her eyes. It took her a moment to realize what happened, and she stared at Catherine, forgetting to be angry.

“We have no grievances nor grudges, you keep making things difficult for me, looking down on me. I thought it’s better to avoid trouble, and let it pass, but this is no reason for you to overstep your bounds, nor to slander me. This isn’t your home, you’re not a princess everyone has to accommodate. Please keep your annoying sense of superiority to yourself,” Catherine said, gazing at the similarly aged girl in designer clothes, fiery with emotion in her eyes.

The people from the logistics department were all stunned, and some even swallowed hard. Director Hopkin raised his eyebrows—as they say, even a cornered rabbit will bite.

“You… you…” Anna finally regained her senses from the dizziness of the slap, pointing tremulously at Catherine.

“Anna, it’s getting late. It’s not good for all of us to gather here, it also affects work. Right now is everyone’s busiest period. Catherine was a bit excessive just now. On her behalf, I apologize to you, but you were at fault first. Perhaps it’s better if you go back?” Before Anna could speak, Director Hopkin suddenly approached warmly, yet clearly taking Catherine’s side.

Anna was furious, but when she looked up and saw those from the logistics department, their gazes clearly hostile, especially Director Hopkin who seemed amiable but was actually a smiling tiger, and had a stronger background than Catherine. Anna, having been overwhelmed by Catherine’s attitude, was slapped into clarity. She knew continuing the conflict wouldn’t be good for her, but was also unwilling to take the slap quietly, glaring resentfully at Catherine, “You wait for me!”

After saying that, she limped away, her male colleague supporting her gave Director Hopkin a sheepish smile and followed her, deeply regretting ever provoking such a spoiled rich lady, now feeling embarrassed by association.

Once Anna left, Grace Clarke rushed to Catherine Ford, “Catherine, you were so awesome today, how could you be so cool, I might switch sides, you know? I’ve found her annoying for a while, always acting so high and mighty.”

“Right, Catherine, you were amazing!” Lewis also raised his thumb towards Catherine.
