Chapter 316
Before Granny Atherton spoke about this, Catelyn did have some expectations for the Chandier Jewelry
Competition. At this point, however, she felt somewhat disgusted about it.
“Granny Atherton, do I have to accept the championship?” spoke Catelyn in a tone implying that she
wanted to reject her victory, much to Granny Atherton’s shock. She did not expect Catelyn to say such a
thing. Kelly quickly interjected, “Miss Clark, Granny Atherton had personally investigated Miss Lola and
apologized to you. Don’t be so full of yourself.”
Full of herself?
Catelyn looked Granny Atherton in the eye with no signs of cowardice. “I’m here to win with what I got,
not by some sort of compensation. Now that you’ve made me the champion, what about the other
contestants? Was the so-called fairness of your competition just a gimmick from the beginning?” Catelyn
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtknew that the old lady was trying to show her goodwill, and she should stop being difficult. However, for
some reason, she just could not help but feel angry.
Kelly was even more furious seeing Catelyn being rude to Granny Atherton. “Miss Clark, watch your
tone!” she scolded.
Granny Atherton reached her hand out and stopped Kelly as she slowly spoke, “No one has dared to talk
to me like this for a long time.” Catelyn continued, “If you’re not happy with this, the door is right over
there.” Initially, Granny Atherton had a good impression of Catelyn because of her face, but at this point,
she liked her even more.
“No one can say no to me. You can reject your win or expose the shady stuff in my Chandier Jewelry
Competition, as long as you’re willing to let the efforts of all the contestants go to waste.”
With that, Granny Atherton turned and left, leaving a discombobulated Catelyn.
She did not want this, but Granny Atherton was not making this any easier for her.
Joanne hid in the corner silently, panicking when she saw Edwin. How she wished she was invisible!
Of course, Edwin had also noticed Joanne, huddled behind Catelyn like a little mole as if no one could
see her.
However, his face sank the moment he thought of the time when Joanne wielded the fruit knife angrily at
Lola, and thus walked away with Granny Atherton.
Only four people were left in the ward: Cedrick, Catelyn, Joanne, and Eason.
Joanne did not wish to stay here any longer. She ran to the bathroom and washed her face, planning to
leave in a while.
Cedrick, on the other hand, took a thermal food box and took out the breakfast from it, revealing chicken
soup. Catelyn’s stomach was not in its best condition, so he prepared something light for her.
Catelyn had been looking forward to the breakfast Cedrick had brought her. However, she quickly lost
her appetite the moment she saw the chicken soup. “I don’t think I have diarrhea anymore. Can I have
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething tastier, please?” pleaded Catelyn as she stared at Cedrick in a doe-like manner.
Cedrick did not even bother with her request as he scooped a spoonful of soup and brought it to his lips
to test the temperature.
Lukewarm, just right.
He then brought the spoon to the corner of Catelyn’s mouth. “Open your mouth.”
From the corner of Catelyn’s eyes, she glanced at Eason, and then at Joanne in the bathroom in a
flustered manner.
She was not that weak, so she could still eat.
“I’ll do this myself,” said Catelyn, attempting to take the spoon and bowl from Cedrick. However, Cedrick
did not budge. His eyes narrowed as he asked solemnly, “You don’t like me feeding you with a spoon.
How about I use my mouth instead?” Catelyn was speechless.
