Chapter 79 The Daring Wife

• Dr. West's stern expression was the final image etched into Cathleen's mind as he exited the room. She sighed heavily and turned her weary gaze toward the laptop sitting on the desk in front of her. As if on cue, a new email notification popped up, jolting her back to reality. The weight of her pain seemed to intensify as she realized that life went on, no matter how much she wished for it to pause for just a moment longer.
• Cathleen's fingers trembled slightly as she clicked open the message. Glow Girl's logo—a radiant face encircled by stars—filled the screen, and with it, an offer that made her heart skip a beat. The photoshoot offer landed in Cathleen's inbox like a golden ticket. The brand, known for celebrating flawless skin, coveted her natural beauty that needed no enhancement. The payment promised was extravagant, a sum that couldn't be dismissed lightly.
• This was a great escape from her marriage and from her husband, who thinks he can boss her around. When Cathleen was abroad, she used to do photoshoots and part-time jobs to pay her tuition fees. She never thought she would go back to doing that type of work again now that she was a lawyer. But with the peace this offer was offering her, she couldn’t resist. This, for her, was enough of an excuse to stay out of Xavier’s sight.
