Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565: Wait to lose it all.

Arwen’s lips curled up in a knowing smirk, which only further infuriated Catrin.

"I asked you something, Arwen. Don’t give me that smile. I haven’t studied to decode it."

’Of course,’ Arwen said in her heart. ’How could she study to decode her expressions? She never had time to be the mother to her.’

She once craved it, but now the thought only disappointed her.

"There is no need for you to decode my smirk, Mrs. Quinn," she said, shaking her head at her. "For you should have already known who was actually responsible for it. As far as I heard, the management of the mall had sent you a detailed email, explaining it all."

"Really? You want me to believe that?" she asked, her voice rising, carrying the hint of irritation.

But it had zero effect on Arwen. She simply sat unfazed, looking at her with her eye. "I don’t want anything with you. It no longer matters to me what you think or believe."

"Arwen, I know Emily might have provoked you, but you should have known to deal with it in a better way."

Arwen listened to her, and the corners of her lips lifted up. "I must have dealt with it properly, or you might not have appeared here. But anyway, that’s something already done, and I don’t owe you any explanation for my action or decision. If there is anything else, please continue with that. Or else," Her hand already reached for the switch on the side of her desk. "I will call someone to escort you out."

"Are you going to simply turn a blind eye?" Catrin almost slapped her hand on the desk in anger. "Is it not yet clear to you that from the very start you have been plotted around?"

Arwen’s gaze turned still. Her expression became unreadable.

"What?" Catrin mistook it for confusion. "You think how I came to know about it?" she scoffed lightly before saying. "The Sky Luxe Mall was transferred to your name the day you were supposed to get the certificate with Ryan, and the notary was the magistrate of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It is not hard to tell that the property was nothing but a wedding gift to you."

"But the question is," she paused, only to give a disdainful look at Arwen, "why would he give something so valuable to you? It’s no simple mall but Sky Luxe Mall —one of the topmost malls in the country that shelters almost every luxury international brand that has got business here."

"Don’t tell me you did think it was weird."

Arwen didn’t respond. She just kept watching her, listening to her. And silence was something Catrin believed in her favour. She thought finally she was making Arwen see through every trick, making her realize the mistake she had committed.

"Arwen, it was a trap, he led you —it’s so obvious. But being a fool, you have easily walked into it, you easily walk into it as if it were a valley of flowers." She shook her head as if she still couldn’t believe it. "All he ever wanted was to make you leave us. And you actually did it on his cue. You left your parents for him. How could you, Arwen?"

Arwen still didn’t respond. On the surface, she seemed to be listening, but under the table, her fingers were clenched into a fist. Her patience wasn’t thinning, but she was feeling her control slipping.

Not because she was realizing the mistake Catrin was talking about, but because she realized how impossible it was what she had kept on craving for years.

She was hoping for her mother to see her, only to realize now that Catrin Quinn was morally blind.
