"Shut up. Neeson Corporation would be destroyed under your leadership." Charity grabbed Thomas's shoulder and flipped him over hers. The man was mercilessly flung to the ground under the public gaze.
Both Catherine and Freya were stunned. However, the latter was first to break the silence by applauding loudly. "You’re so awesome and cool!"
Thomas was furious at being criticized and ridiculed b y the crowd. "Charity, I will not let this go unsettled.”
Then, he climbed up to his feet and stumbled out of the pub.
“Thank you." Catherine poured two glasses of red wine and handed one over to Charity.
She had a good first impression of this woman, but tonight, she was really impressed.
"Don't worry. I was just passing by. The pub owner told me he was harassing women again, so I came to have a look."
Charity took a sip of the wine.
"Nice one, sister!" Freya gave her a thumbs up. "I'll surely go after you if you were a man." "It's not good for women to be too awesome," Charity
teased herself. "I should be the one apologizing..."
"He's not your blood brother, so don't sweat it." Catherine dragged a chair from the next table. "Want t o join us?"
Charity frowned as she hesitated for a moment. "It’s alright. We don't belong to the same world. If Shaun finds out about this..."
"I've separated from him,” she interrupted. "I've moved out from his villa. I don't want to be a fool anymore."
The woman's decisiveness took Charity by surprise." Can you really let him go?"
"A little loss is better than a long sorrow." Catherine smiled bitterly. "Actually, I've known about Sarah's existence a long time ago. I thought it'll be fine even if I can't be compared to the memory of a ghost. After all, she's dead. But I don’t see the point of competing with her substitute."
