Chapter 6 The Marriage Contract
Catalina was stunned.
She didn't expect it.
It was Ralph again?
She was just thinking about him and he was here?
With the doll in her arms, she went over and approached the window, "Ralph?"
The dark window slowly slid down, revealing a cold and gloomy face.
For a moment, Catalina was shocked and her pupils expanded.
To her surprise, it was...
Bennett?!
Catalina was so frightened that she stepped back several steps, as if the one in the car was a monster.
No, he was more terrible than a monster!
On the other side, Ralph opened the door and got off the car.
"Ms. Grant."
Ralph walked towards her and handed her a file respectfully, "I believe that you must have thought
about it through a day."
It was the marriage contract with Bennett's signature.
Catalina frowned.
She looked at Bennett with puzzled and sullen eyes, "Didn't I already give the answer this morning?"
"Sign it."
In the car, Bennett said coldly and overbearingly.
The only two words were oppressive and overwhelming.
He looked straight ahead, and did not look at Catalina. "Now you have no other choice."
"..."
Catalina bit her lip.
"Ms. Grant, your grandmother needs money for her treatment!" Ralph kindly reminded Catalina.
Catalina felt sorry for her.
Was her self-esteem more important than Grandma's life?
Thinking of her grandma who was waiting for money to save her life on the hospital bed and the only 5
dollars left in her pocket, Catalina bit her teeth.
As Bennett said, she had no other choice.
"OK."
It seemed she had made a very difficult decision. She took a deep breath and took the file in Ralph's
hand.
Even if there was an abyss ahead, she must go on for her grandma.
She made up her mind and signed her name on two marriage applications quickly.
She signed so fast as if she was afraid that she would change her mind the next second.
She had no ability to feed herself as well as protect her family. How could she care about self-esteem?
Self-esteem was a luxury for her now.
Seeing she signed, Bennett looked a little better.
"Go."
He gave the order in a calm voice.
The window was closed, and the black car flied away like a strong wind and hid in the darkness soon.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Mrs. Shaffer."
Ralph put the file back and changed the address to Catalina immediately.
The sudden change made Catalina embarrassed. "Ralph, just call me Lina."
"Ding."
Just then, Catalina's mobile phone rang and a short message appeared.
Catalina took out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked at it.
She was quite shocked the moment she saw the message.
It was a bank remittance reminder.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
It was 200 thousand dollars in total.
He was so generous.
Catalina blinked and looked at Ralph in disbelieve.
Until now, did Catalina feel that she had fallen a vast abyss.
Why did Bennett suddenly marry her and give her so much money?
Shouldn't he hate her very much?
He must want to kill her and cut her body into pieces. Why didn't he kill her but married her?
The more Catalina thought about it, the more scared she felt.
She thought that she might be dismembered by him at home one day.
But anyway, she had signed the contract and received the money. It was too late to regret it.
Unexpectedly, she finally did as Jenny's nonsense before. She sold herself!
...
"Mrs. Shaffer, it's cold outside, please get on the car!" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Ralph smiled and made a respectful 'please' gesture to Catalina, inviting her to get on the bus.
Catalina froze, "Why?"
"Go home."
"...which home? I have no home."
"From now on, Mr. Shaffer's home is your home."
"..."
Catalina was in a trance. She mocked herself in the heart.
Bennett's home would never be her home.
She was clear about this.
Catalina got on the luxury car nervously.
In fact, where could she go if she didn't get on the car? With 5 dollars, she could only sleep in the
street.
It was Catalina's first time to sit in such a luxury car. It was too comfortable, but it made her feel very
uncomfortable.
She sat upright, bowed her head and stayed quiet.
The car drove to somewhere quietly.
Catalina didn't realize it until the car drove into a winding mountain road.
"Are we going to the Shaffer family?"
She suddenly froze and sat up straight. It was her first-level alert state.
Her pretty face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with nervousness and fear.
The Shaffer family was no better than a tiger's den. Once she entered it, she might have a terrible end.
"Take it easy, Mrs. Shaffer. We're going to Sophora Villa."
Catalina knew Sophora Villa.
It was Bennett's private villa. There were two century-old locust trees planted in the courtyard. In every
May, the smell of locust trees was fresh and fragrant. That was why its name was Sophora Villa.
When she was ten years old, she first saw Bennett under the locust tree in Sophora Villa.
Sophora Villa was located on the hillside of Shaffer Mountain. It was a remote and quiet place.
At the top of Shaffer Mountain, there was a luxurious villa, with bridges, flowing water, singing birds,
and flowers in its courtyard. There were also gardens, bushes and winding paths.
There, of course, lived the most prestigious family member of the Shaffer family, Drake Shaffer, who
was Bennett Shaffer's grandfather and the founder of Shaffer Group.
From the top down, there were several small villas side by side.
Although they were not as magnificent as the main villa, they also had their own special atmosphere.
They were the private residence of the other family members of the Shaffer family.
As for Bennett's Sophora Villa, it was an exception in the Shaffer family.
It was a special birthday gift from his grandfather when he was five years old, which also showed his
status in Drake's heart.
Hearing that they were not going to the main villa, Catalina signed with relief. But when thinking of the
meet with that devil, Catalina clenched her fist.
After the ambiguous and romantic night, plus the marriage contract, she now didn't know how to face
him.
Ralph seemed to know what Catalina was thinking about. He smiled, "Don't worry, Mrs. Shaffer. Mr.
Shaffer had went to Gilburgh, and he will stay there for several months."
"Huh?"
Catalina was surprised, "He had left?"
"Yes."
"..."
That was so great!
Catalina breathed a sigh of relief. She was ecstatic in fact, but she dared not show it.
