Chapter 602

Cathy stared , utterly dazed , at the entire family gathered there . ‘ Why is everyone here ? ‘ she thought .
Hayden was the first to speak . “ You two ! What brings you here ? ”
Werner hurriedly said , “ Dad , wasn’t it you who called us here ? ”
Jonathan narrowed his eyes , fixing his gaze on Werner , who was lying with a straight face .
Hayden , refusing to play along with Werner’s charade , stated flatly , “ I came here with Jonathan . I certainly didn’t call you two here ”
Comered , Werner could only cast a slightly awkward glance in Jonathan’s direction .
Desperate to save face , Werner spun around to confront Cathy , snapping , “ Why have you been following me ? ”
Cathy snapped , “ Fine , I admit it . I’ve been following you . If you’ve got nothing to hide , then why do you keep coming back to Shaville again and again ? ”
Werner scoffed , “ Can’t I just visit my old classmate ? I’m looking after Yorick’s son , the one who can’t be officially recognized . ”
Cathy said , “ Enough with Yorick ! Stop using him as an excuse every damn day . Now that Dad’s right here , I’m just going to lay it all out . ”
Cathy’s words came pouring out uncontrollably . “ He’s having an affair ! He gave all our money to that woman . ”
“ What the hell ? ” Hayden bellowed . He was livid .
Werner hurriedly explained to Hayden , “ Dad , it’s not true . Don’t listen to Cathy . She’s talking nonsense . ”
Werner tried to clamp a hand over Cathy’s mouth , desperate to shut her up , but she shoved him away in utter annoyance .
Cathy fumed , “ Stop pretending . You withdrew all our retirement savings , plus the money for Cheryl’s car , a total of $ 150,000 . Who exactly did you give it to ? You’d better come clean in front of the whole family right now . ”
Jonathan approached the emotionally distraught Cathy . “ Cathy , please try to calm down . ”
Cathy stared at Jonathan , bursting into tears . “ I’m sorry , Jonathan . Ijust can’t hold it in anymore . Werner is such a jerk . ”
Werner was angry . “ Who the hell are you calling a jerk ? ” At that moment , he hoped he could send Cathy flying straight back to Nareigh .
Werner said , “ Let’s take this home and talk it out there . Don’t make a scene here in front of everyone . ”
However , Cathy was past caring about anything else at this point .
Cathy yelled , “ It’s a simple matter for you to explain . Why won’t you just say it ? Just tell me straight up where the money went . You keep telling me to trust you , but what have you actually done ?
“ If you had nothing to hide , would I have to follow you around every day ? Do you really think I want to live like this , swallowing my humiliation ? Ever since you went whoring , I’ve wanted a divorce . ”
Hayden’s face darkened visibly . Furiously , he demanded of Werner , “ What on earth does Cathy mean by what she said ? ”
Werner said , “ Dad , I swear I didn’t do it ! Cathy’s gone hysterical . Let me take her away right now . ”
Cathy screamed , “ Werner , you’ve driven me mad ! After decades together , this is how you treat me ? If you want me to leave with nothing , just say so . Why did you have to take my retirement savings too ? You’re a total bastard . ”
Before anyone could react , a sharp crack yang out . Werner slapped Cathy across the face with brutal force . The spacious hospital ward instantly fell
silent .
