"Your mother is a nightmare when she's angry," Joanne mumbled, then leaned back against the couch. "Tell me," she spoke as she smiled at Miles, "what did you do to make your mother this angry?"Miles immediately tried to appear as pathetic as possible. "Mommy brought Big Demon into the room to make babies with him. No one will love me from now on...""Goodness, what are you even talking about? I'll always love and care for you, Miles!""Really?" Miles stopped fake-sobbing and stared at Joanne unblinkingly with his innocent, large eyes. He did not play the victim card all that often, but when he did, the way he looked at people with doe-like eyes could melt hearts.Joanne's heart softened at the sight and nodded. "Of course. No one can bully Miles! Still, you have to tell me what you did."Miles hesitated for a moment before, finally, he came clean.Joanne gulped audibly at his explanation with resignation. "You're too much! It's no wonder your mother got so angry. That guy is goi

It was the day for the Chandier Jewelry contest's final round.Catelyn had heard that the initial rule of the contest dictated that the higher management, including Lola, was to collect the drafts before submitting them to Granny Atherton to ensure fairness when the winner was chosen. However, she had a change of heart and amended the rules as she wanted to appear in the contest herself.All the contestants were divided into three groups to go up to the stage to explain the concept behind their designs. Granny Atherton and the other judges were to mark the design on the spot until they eventually settled on a winner.The fact that Lola was no longer involved in the process was good news to Catelyn as she would not have to worry about Lola trying to screw her chances.Catelyn happened to be in the group that was scheduled in the morning. She had to head out earlier and had skipped breakfast, deciding that she would simply pick up food from stalls by the road.She went downstairs an

Catelyn leaned back against her seat innocently and batted her eyes at Cedrick. "Taste good?"Cedrick's eyes gleamed as though he tried to refrain from certain urges. After a while, he gritted out, "I'll make you pay tonight!""..." Catelyn sensed that she had provoked something other than anger within him. All things aside, she realized that she had finally appeased his anger.She had to put out the fire that her son had lit. The life of a mother was hard....There was already a crowd in the meeting hall owned by Chandier Jewelry by the time Catelyn arrived.Every contestant was assigned a number, and Catelyn was assigned number 17.She waited patiently below the stage and occasionally chatted with the other contestants sitting next to her.Because the waiting time was longer than expected, Chandier Jewelry had prepared bottles of water for all the contestants.A young woman with long hair walked around, handing bottles of water to everyone. When it was Catelyn's turn, she t

As for the draft that Catelyn had submitted, it was cast aside before Granny Atherton could even see it—not that she had the mood to view it, regardless.Lola sneered smugly. 'You dare stand against me, Catelyn? Try again in your next life!'Lola had put in a lot of effort and purposefully arranged the contestants with poorer designs ahead of Catelyn so their presentation time on stage would be minimized, making sure that Catelyn would not make it back in time....Catelyn was stuck in the bathroom.She had thought that she simply had food poisoning and would soon recover after taking some rest, but the reality had proved her wrong.She had stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour, and she had asked for the staff's help to purchase extremely strong antidiarrheal. Eventually, her diarrhea finally subsided.By the time she came out of the bathroom, she was as pale as a ghost. Her lips were numb, and she felt like she would lose consciousness at any moment.Keeping her hand on th

Catelyn noticed that the car Granny Atherton was in slowed down. Assuming that the driver had stopped, she moved to run toward the car.Much to her bewilderment, the engine roared again as the car seemingly drove toward her.There was a layer of tinted frame on the window of the Bently, so she could not see into the car, but she could sense an icy, viscous stare directed at her, almost like the way a hunter would stare at his dying prey.It had to be Lola.The driver had not expected Catelyn to stand her ground in the middle of the road, even when he sped up. His hands started shaking, and a thin layer of sweat gathered on his forehead as the car got closer to Catelyn.Catelyn froze in place, unable to move as her feet felt extremely heavy.'Lola had the gall to run over me with Old Madam Atherton by her side? Or is this Old Madam Atherton's command?' she thought as her heart sank into her stomach.Screech!The driver steered the steering wheel.Just as the car was about to ra
