Chapter 811
Quinn and a few bodyguards following behind Old Madam Atherton did not dare to approach hastily.
Kelly was so frightened that her face turned pale. She secretly took her phone out and called Edwin.
"Kitty, what are you looking at? The car is parked over there..." asked Joanne.
Catelyn stared in the direction where Old Madam Atherton was being held hostage. "There seems to be something
wrong going on over there."
Feeling confused, Joanne simply went over toward the crowd.
From her line of sight, there was someone blocking her view. Joanne quickly took two steps sideways, and then she
saw Old Madam Atherton being held at knifepoint.
Fresh, red blood was seen oozing out of the slash wound on her neck.
Joanne immediately covered her mouth in shock.
This old lady... Wasn't she the one Joanne met that day at Worldwide Entertainment Co. when she was looking for

Catelyn and Joanne ran over and squeezed into the crowd. At that moment, the burly man was negotiating with
Kelly. "Get back now! One step closer, and I'll kill her right away!" he yelled.
"Please don't..." begged Kelly as she sobbed chokingly, trying her best to comfort the man.
"Sir, Old Madam Atherton has not been involved in the company for many years. Your family's bankruptcy may be
caused by some other member of the Atherton Family. Please let her go. We promise to compensate you and bring
justice back to you!"
"Fair enough, I want the Atherton Family to suffer as much as me now! Prepare a live broadcast and announce all
the scandalous things the Athertons had done over the years, or I will kill this old woman!" yelled the man.
Old Madam Atherton's neck was held tightly by the man, and she struggled to breathe.
Earlier, she happened to be visiting an exposition nearby. In the midst of it, she received a call from Quinn, and
stopped by to pick her up.
However, old Madam Atherton would never imagine this crazy man rushing over to her frantically the moment she
got out of the car.
Everything happened so fast that even her bodyguards did not have time to react and stop him.
Kelly continued speaking. Although her voice was trembling, she was not panicking. "The Atherton Family has a
deep foundation. Even if you want to broadcast the scandal, it won't collapse. In the end, your company will go
bankrupt. I can offer you a comeback. I can make you even more successful than before."
Hearing this, the man grabbed his dagger even more tightly. His heart started beating a little faster.
Quinn was also trying her best to remain calm, she shouted at the man, "Don't you want money? The Athertons will
give you all the money you want! So let my grandma go! If anything happens to her, don't you think you can get
away with it!"
"You dare to threaten me?" The man's eyes instantly flared up, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged. "Let me
tell you, I am bankrupt! My wife ran away with my son! I'm all alone now, get it? You have nothing to threaten me
with here, and I have nothing to lose!"
Quinn was frightened by the terrifying statement of the man. she yelled back at him, "But you still have parents and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfriends, right?"
"Just shut up already!" Kelly shouted at Quinn as she rolled her eyes.
Neither she nor the old lady dared to provoke the man, so they could only try to negotiate peacefully. However,
Quinn's words were full of threats and provocations, which would only make the situation even worse!
If anything happened to old Madam Atherton because of this, Quinn would be at fault indirectly...
Old Madam Atherton's icy gaze swept over Quinn, and Quinn instantly realized that she seemed to have said the
wrong thing and quickly took a step back in panic.
The man was so full of adrenaline in the current situation that his whole body trembled. Slowly, he started poking
the old lady's neck with the tip of his knife.
It was not a lethal cut, but he did this to cause the old lady some pain, deliberating torturing her.
Old Madam Atherton clenched her teeth as she felt the sting from the knife. Her whole body trembled, and her
neck was sweating profusely.
Catelyn looked at Quinn and thought, 'what an id*ot!'
She quickly walked in front of the crowd and said, "Sir, do you want to take revenge on the Athertons? I have a
better way!"
