Chapter 298

In the corridor outside the Chandier Jewelry’s meeting hall, Catelyn sat on a bench with her back

pressed against the wall. Her consciousness was drifting, while her entire body felt like it was swaying.

Her head dropped slightly from time to time, only for her to be woken by the motion.

The process repeated multiple times, and just when she thought she was reaching her limit, she heard

the door to the meeting hall opening, followed by sounds of people talking. She stood abruptly, before

falling back onto the bench helplessly.

By the time she managed to stand upright again, Lola had led Granny Atherton outside.

Catelyn ran after them.

Lola spotted Catelyn from the corner of her eye and felt pleased by how miserable she visibly looked.

‘This is what you get for crossing me!

She carefully supported Granny Atherton as she ordered the bodyguards, “There are too many people

here. Stop any unidentified persons from coming to us; don’t let them get in Old Madam’s way.”

“Understood!” The bodyguards sharpened at her command. Granny Atherton was the person with the

highest status in the Atherton Family, so they could not afford anything to happen to her. Catelyn was

powerless and could not be swift to begin with; very soon, she was left behind. With the bodyguards

there to stop her, she could not get close enough to Granny Atherton to plead for another chance.

She scanned the crowd and the environment around her before hurrying toward the parking lot

determinedly.

Granny Atherton probably would leave by car.

From a distance, Catelyn spotted Granny Atherton stepping into a Bently with a car plate number ending

with 86.

She summoned the courage and darted to the center of the road just when the car was about to drive

right by the green belt she was standing on. She opened her arms and waved frantically for them to stop

the car.

“Old Madam Atherton, I’m Catelyn Clark! I’m sorry that I didn’t show up on time, but it was caused by

special circumstances. Can you please give me another chance?” she shouted, mustering every last

ounce of her strength as she did.

Lola would no doubt try to toy with her if Catelyn went to her, which was why she had to go to Granny

Atherton directly, her frail frame swaying in the wind.

At that moment, the driver of the Bently spotted a girl suddenly appearing in the middle of the road and

hastily stepped on the brake. The car instantly slowed, and both Granny Atherton and Lola jerked

forward from the sudden shift of gravity.

Lola instinctively reached over to cover Granny Atherton’s forehead with one hand and wrapped her

other arm around the old woman’s body to steady her. Still, Granny Atherton saw

stars from the sudden halt. She rubbed her head and sat back, unable to recover from the shock

“Why did you drive like that? Don’t you know that Grandma has a weak spine?!” snarled Lola at the

driver.

Terrified, the driver explained with trembling lips, “I… I’m sorry, Miss Atherton! Something came before

the car, so I…”

Lola looked outside through the windshield and recognized Catelyn right away, despite the distance.

Catelyn was dressed in a professional office outfit with her hair tied up. At the moment, strands of her

hair loosely hung by the sides of her ears with no trace of her previous elegance.

Lola sneered internally yet outwardly spoke, “Whoever that crazy woman is, she must really want to

meet Grandma, but she doesn’t have time for people who aren’t determined enough to do what’s

needed. Run over her!”

The driver was stunned at her command and turned to stare at Lola in disbelief, wondering if he had

heard her wrong.

Lola just ordered him to ‘run over her’! Did she seriously just ask him that? “Are you deaf?” Lola barked

in frustration, appearing as though she made the command for Granny Atherton’s sake. “I’ve seen this

kind of woman around. She just wants to stop the car. If you start driving, she’ll move away. “Or are you

asking Grandma to lower herself to meet with that woman? She isn’t worthy of Grandma’s time!” Her

tone was filled with frustration toward Catelyn yet somehow sounded as though she was caring for

Granny Atherton altogether.

Granny Atherton, too, saw someone standing before the car, but before she could see the woman’s face,

the car came to a sudden halt.

She had always had a weak spine, and the impact had made her dizzy. She dropped her head into her

hands dazedly, and when the driver noticed that she was not saying a word, he took it as a silent

approval of Lola’s command.

The driver gulped at this, his grip on the steering wheel tightening before he slowly stepped on the

accelerator once more.
