Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 444

Brenda watched as Catrin left.

Margaret walked to her; her brows furrowed with slight concern. "Madam, Ms. Catrin seems to have mistaken me as the new President of the company."

Although Catrin hadn't voiced it out clearly, her gaze and her concealed words were still very clear. Margaret has understood it just by her mere glance.

Brenda smiled when she heard her. "I know," she said, and Margaret was puzzled.

With furrow of confusion, she looked at the old lady and asked, "You know?"

Brenda glanced at her and nodded again. "I might have aged, but my age hasn't yet affected my eyes. I could still read what you are thinking."

Of course, she had seen through Catrin's accusations as well. But she intentionally didn't explain.

"Madam, I didn't mean that," Margaret was flustered. Actually, she didn't doubt Brenda; she was just curious as of why even knowing it Brenda didn't clarify.

How could Brenda didn't know what she was thinking?

"Catrin had always been after the control, power and authority," Brenda slowly began. "Even though she never explicitly said, over the years, she has been trying to prove her worth to take over Davies Internationals. But now, that she has come to realize that it's not her that's been chosen, she is on the verge of losing her calm, her sanity."

She glanced up to meet Margaret's gaze. "In a situation like this if she comes to know that it's not you but Arwen who is going to take the position that she had been working for, then what do you think she will do?"

If it had been any other mother, they would have celebrated …

But Catrin?

She would not think twice before wreaking havoc around.

Understanding dawned upon Margaret and she stared at Brenda, understanding why she hadn't explained it out.

"It's better that she thinks it's you," Brenda spoke again, "this way her focus will remain on you until the day I announce it to the world."

Margaret nodded.

"By the way," Brenda remembered something and glanced up at Margaret once again, arching her brow at her. "I didn't get to appreciate you."

"Appreciate me?" Margaret felt confused.

However, Brenda smiled. "Yes, appreciate you," she said, "for finally stepping out from your zone of politeness. Seeing you finally lose your calm was satisfying. Otherwise, over the years, I have just seen you tolerating her."

Margaret immediately realized what she was referring to. Her face flushed as she quickly said, "That … that Madam, I didn't mean to offend, Ms. Catrin. It was just I couldn't bear to hear her cursing you like that."
