Chapter 6

Catherine nodded wearily and dialed Mr. Dawson's phone number.

"Hello, this is Catherine Daphne, the CEO of Time Advertising. Is that Mr. Dawson?" she asked.

"Yes, hello, Ms. Daphne," came the voice of a man on the other end.

"Why are you suddenly holding us accountable for the so-called mistakes in previous collaborations and canceling the future contracts? Did we do something wrong?"

After a brief silence, the man's voice came through.

"Ms, you have indeed done something very outrageous and crossed the line! I can only tell you that you have offended a bigwig in our group, and she personally ordered the blacklisting of your company."

"How is that possible? How could I have the audacity to provoke someone high up in the World Tree Group? It must be a misunderstanding!"

Catherine couldn't believe that she had done something like that and furrowed her brow.

"Mr. Dawson, can we meet in person today to clear up the misunderstanding..."

She spoke, but before she could finish her words, the call was disconnected.

Catherine trembled with anger, her face turning red, and her hand holding the phone clenched involuntarily.

"It is just ridiculous! To arbitrarily decide the fate of my company! They are a group of demons."

She shouted, angrily sweeping the documents off the table and slumping into her office chair, her head bowed in thought.

She couldn't understand who she had offended. Who was targeting her?

With Time A.D faced with such a crisis, if she couldn't resolve the contract issues quickly, the company would go bankrupt and she wouldn't be able to face her families.

"Catherine, think carefully about who you have offended recently, especially those related to the World Tree."

Johnson said, seeing her distressed state.

"It's impossible, I wouldn't have... Could it be Annie Stacy? I had a conflict with her this morning."

Catherine said it uncertainly, but she didn't believe Annie could go this far.

"But how could it be her? How could she instruct Mr. Dawson to terminate the contract with us? She's just a singer under the World Tree Group!"

Catherine couldn't fathom it.

However, she couldn't rule out the possibility that Annie had some connection to the powerful figures in the World Tree Group.

"Perhaps, beauty and figure are her advantages. Maybe she has gotten involved with someone important in the company, finding ways to take revenge for her lover, Arthur Rockefeller!"

Johnson speculated, seizing any opportunity to disparage Arthur, even if he had no evidence.

"Arthur..."

Catherine seemed to believe his speculation and thought it must be Arthur seeking revenge.

Otherwise, what a coincidence!

As soon as they divorced, the cooperation of her company with the World Tree fell apart.

However, she could never have thought that it was her marriage to Arthur that had prompted Mr. Dawson to seek cooperation with Time Advertising.

"Don't worry, the World Tree Group is hosting a business banquet tonight at the Forest Hotel. The Iron Lady, Robin Thatcher, will be there too. My father and I will introduce you to her. I believe that with the presence of the World Tree Group's CEO, Annie, the bitch and her lover won't dare to hinder you,"

Johnson said after a moment of contemplation.

" The CEO of the World Tree will be there!?"

Catherine was amazed very much.

During these three years, the World Tree Group had risen like a comet.

The mysterious chairman rarely made appearances, relying on remote control and strategies to make the World Tree Group become the largest company in Georgia and gain nationwide fame.

Meanwhile, the Iron Lady played an equally important role.

It was rumored that she was once the financial queen of Wall Street, stirring up storms. Some even said she was a representative of the capital's prominent family...

Such a legendary person was about to make an appearance!

Hope rose in Catherine's heart.

If the termination of cooperation between the World Tree and Time was due to personal revenge or unauthorized action, then with her ironclad determination, Annie would definitely get into trouble, and her company would regain its vitality.

"Annie Stacy, you can just wait for your own downfall! And you, Arthur, I'll deal with you after I'm done with that wretched bitch Annie!"

Catherine's face twisted into a sinister smile as if victory was within her grasp.

However, she didn't anticipate that the series of the actions targeting her company were orchestrated by the lady, Robin Thatcher.

Nor did she know that the mysterious chairman of the World Tree Group was her worthless ex-husband.
