Hello, dear Friends,
Voici notre dernier extrait concernant la réussite de Cal.
Attention, ce passage n'est pas facile. Il y a un peu de vocabulaire (à chercher, c'est normal...)
et certaines phrases méritent réflexion. Accrochez-vous au texte, lisez le, relisez le... Peu à peu
il se livrera à vous ! Courage...
Translate into French:
At thirty, shortly after his move to Greenwich, he wrenched control of the company from the
bewildered owner. It was his first opportunity to play cat and mouse, to toy with his prey while
knowing all the time that it was a game he would win. The satisfaction of the kill appeased in him
the lingering anger at his father’s bullying, the subsequent necessity of toadying to a variety of
employers.
A few years later he sold the company for a fortune, and now he spent his time handling his myriad
business enterprises.
His marriage had not produced children, and he was grateful that instead of becoming obsessed over
that lack, as Molly Lasch had done, Jenna devoted her energies instead to her Manhattan law practice.
She, too, had been part of his plan. The move to Greenwich. The choice of Jenna -a stunningly attractive,
smart young woman from a good family of limited means. He knew very well that the life he could give
Jenna was a big attraction to her. Like him, she enjoyed power. He enjoyed toying with her too. Now,
he smiled down on her benignly and ran his hand over her hair. «I’m sorry,» he said contritely.
«It’s just that I think Molly would have welcomed a visit from you even if she didn’t call. It’s a
big change to come home to that empty house and it's got to be pretty damn lonely for her there. She
had plenty of company in prison, even if it was company she didn’t appreciate.»
