Chapter 4 It Was You Who Did It

There were 92 days left… Catherine decided to take the rest of the contract period to regain her confidence. Once she graduated, she would work hard until she was capable enough to leave Ryan confidently. She would become strong and brave. If her family got into trouble again, she would be competent enough to protect it, instead of selling herself in exchange for a man’s financial support. Since Ryan got married today, she assumed that he wasn’t going to bother her for the rest of the day, so she visited the bookstore in the afternoon and bought some books.
