CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

To Catherine, it wasn't such a bad idea to divorce Sam and then leave with her dowry, living a free life on her own.

“There's something else I want to ask you. Do you know why my mother handed Wells Properties over to Sean?” asked Shane.

In fact, he was counting on her not knowing a thing about it since she was not close with Sean.

Despite that, he still thought he would try asking anyway.

“Wells Properties?” Catherine looked visibly shocked. “Did your mother really give it to Sean?”

Seeing her reaction, Shane instantly clenched his fists, and his voice sounded strained as he went on, “You knew about it, didn't you?”

“N-Not really, but years ago, your mother did mention once that she intended to do that. I'd always assumed she wasn't serious about it, as Wells Properties was her dowry. I can't believe she actually did it.” A look of jealousy washed over Catherine's face as she spoke.

Shane's fists tightened. “And what was her reason for doing so?”

“I don't know for sure, but my guess is that Sean held a special place in her heart.” Catherine looked straight at Shane as she went on, “You grew up with your grandfather, and then you went overseas and received exclusive education there. In other words, you barely spent time with the other Thompsons and weren't around for over ten years. During those times, it was Sean who had stayed by your mother's side. She treated him like her own, and he was very close with her...”

Catherine trailed off, thinking about how Sean used to see Lindsay Loehr as his mother, even though it was Catherine herself who had given birth to him.
