Chapter 79 The Higher You Climb, the Harder the Fall
After resolving the issues at Cirrus Mall, Kate originally planned to have dinner with Hendrick. However, since Hendrick had to return to the office for a meeting, she dropped the idea.
The incident had spoiled her mood for shopping. She decided to head home instead. Her initial plan was to buy a suit for Eric, but now she had returned home, disappointed.
Sitting on the couch, Kate propped her chin on her hand and let out a soft sigh.
Today wasn’t a complete waste, though. At least she managed to solve the problem at Cirrus Mall, which unexpectedly advanced her plans.
Now, Simon must be thrilled. Someone suddenly put him in charge of a major project, overseeing a new subsidiary. This meant more opportunities for him to profit.
Humph! She would let him enjoy it for now.
Kate’s eyes grew cold as she checked her phone. Sure enough, there were messages from Simon.
“Kate, your brother called and told me I’d be the lead on the Lowe Group and Miles Corporation project! He said you recommended me. Thank you so much! You’re so nice to me.
“Kate, wait for me. I will work hard to be on equal footing with Eric and bring you back from his side!
“I may not have the ability now, but someday I will.
“Kate, I will not let you down!”
Simon sent these messages a while ago, However, Kate had set Simon’s messages to ‘Do Not Disturb, so she only saw them now.
When she saw Simon’s words, Kate let out a derisive laugh.
Simon was still the same–all talk and no action. He was always making grand promises.
As long as she gave him a little benefit, he would come crawling back, eager to please her for more rewards.
Why not let him be happy for now?
But be careful.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
Kate’s eyes were icy as she replied briefly and then returned to her drawing. She needed to get back to her peak condition as quickly as possible.
Eric watched through the surveillance cameras. He saw Kate engrossed in her artwork.

His gaze was sharp, as if he were trying to see through her entirely.

Her conversation with Hendrick, her arrangements for Simon–George had reported everything to him.
He found Kate increasingly unpredictable. Her every move seemed to be something not within his plans. Her erratic treatment of Simon added to his frustration.
Eric clutched his chest. He took a deep breath. The look in his eyes was dark and brooding as he struggled to suppress the turbulent emotions within him.
“Mr. Eric.”
Lucas suddenly knocked and entered the office. His expression was unusually serious as he reported, “Our men just reported something. The individuals we’ve been tracking for years… there’s news.”
A cold light flashed in Eric’s eyes.
His aura turned chilling instantly, as did the intense killing intent emanating from his eyes. He asked, “Where?”
Lucas quickly handed him a laptop and revealed, “Three hours ago, a prisoner transport vehicle overturned on a mountain road outside Capital City. It was definitely not an accident, but someone was behind it.”
He showed Eric a blurry surveillance video as he spoke.
The transport vehicle sped along a mountain road in the suburbs, followed at a distance by a van. The focus was on that van.
Lucas enlarged the image and revealed an arm extended from the van’s passenger window.
There was a clear wolfhead tattoo on the arm.
