Hazel was dumbfounded.
She could no longer be arrogant towards Nellie when she knew exactly when her mother was with her father.
Catherine was no better now and gave Nellie a fierce glare, "Don't you go too far."
Nellie sneered.
"You didn't think you were going too far after all you did before? And this is too much?"
A flash of unease passed through Catherine's heart as she met the cold, sarcastic gaze of Nellie.
She won't let them leave Shirling now, is she trying to clean them up?
Soon, Catherine and Hazel saw how ruthless Nellie was, only to hear her say to Marco on one side.
"Marco."
"Yes, Lady Nellie."
"Pack up all their things, I don't want to see them."
At these words, both Catherine and Hazel looked at Nellie in unison. What did she mean by this? Was she trying to throw them all out?
"You can't do this to me." Hazel stood up and looked at Nellie with a gloomy gaze.
She has grown up here since she was a child, it is like home to her, and all the properties in her name are now frozen.
Yes.
In a short time, she received news one after another that the property was boarded up, naturally it was because of the dispute over the will. Usually such a lawsuit can take a very long time.
What none of them expected, however, was that Nellie had gotten the best international barrister to come over and get all this done in a short time.
She was going for the quick fix.
But as quick as she could be, if she was thrown out of here now, she would be living on the streets for a long time.
"I haven't even had anyone to open the door for me when I come back for New Year's Eve since your mother came in, so why can't I do that to you?"
Nellie looked at Hazel's miserable pale face, and then look to the secluded Catherine on one side.
She was shaking with anger and her face was gloomy. Looking at the two of them, Nellie finally had a glimpse of happiness in her heart.
Catherine pretended to be virtuous in front of her father, but when no one was around, Nellie could not even enter this house.
"Mom." Hazel saw that Catherine didn't say anything and pulled her, her face all anxious.
She had no money if she was thrown out now.
Nellie was very quick to strike this time, and those assets they had transferred earlier could not be used at all now.
Because all their accounts have been frozen, it will be very difficult for them to just get out of Shirling and get kicked out of here again now.
Catherine was well aware of this.
She looked at Nellie with a white face, "Now that the verdict hasn't decided, I have the right to stay here."
"Didn't you get that? The house is all still in my mother's name at the moment."
When Catherine and Hazel heard that, they both paled.
At the moment, Catherine's heart was heaving badly.
Nellie watched her reaction, smiling, "This is something that you can't possibly not know after so many years with him, right?"
Catherine blushed whiter.
She, naturally, knew about it.
George could give her anything, except this place, which he never gave.
The air, for a long time, was quiet.
The two parties were facing each other in a silent confrontation, only the sound of clashing cutlery was left, now only Nellie could still eat.
Both Catherine and Hazel had no appetite through the days.
Catherine spoke up in the end, "Hazel, let's go."
