Even now, with Lucca ruined—career gone, reputation destroyed, love lost—it still could not extinguish the hatred in Bert's heart. Every time he thought of all the suffering Catherine had endured because of that mother and daughter, it felt as if a fire were burning in his chest.
Of course, since Bert had decided to hand Channing Group to Catherine, he was fully prepared to help her run it.
If in the end she still wasn't suited for management, it would only mean a little more work for him—and he could handle that. But he believed Catherine was the kind of person who took everything seriously. If Channing Group were entrusted to her, she would do her very best.
And she was intelligent—running it should not be a problem.
When Catherine heard Bert say that he had taken Channing Group to make Lucca and Tracy suffer, she sighed softly. Stepping forward, she wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned into his embrace.
"I'll accept Channing Group, and I promise I'll run it well."
