Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 670

When Polly lived with her husband's family, Elaine had often taken advantage of her mother-in-law's favor towards her to bully Polly. Later, Elaine became a heavy gambler. Her addiction to gambling made her mother-in-law dislike her. Since then, she never had the courage to return to the family home.

Polly felt that she was no longer disadvantaged by Elaine, though her husband did not live up to her expectations.

In addition to that, it was said that Elaine was proud of having been distraught by numerous scandals. Polly was no longer sad when she thought about how much Elaine had suffered.

Emma didn't have much to be ashamed of, and Catherine's bruises and scars were not visible. She had nothing to fear.

Determinedly, Polly got Catherine out of the room, and into her second-hand BMW, and drove towards Ditter Hotel.

They arrived shortly after.

Polly was watching celebrities walk in and out of the hotel. She had her biggest grin plastered on her attractive face. She felt the urge to be on the same social level as them.

Catherine had tried hard to get out of her mother's grip, but Polly held her hand tightly, reluctant to release her until they arrived at the entrance of Ditter Hotel.

Catherine realised there was no turning back.

The hotel had been refurnished with dozens of tables. Lola had hired a lot of professional waitresses to serve the tea, because it was indeed a tea party.

Standing by the doorway, mother and daughter could hear people talking, and smell the strong aroma of the various tea being served.

"Mom, if something goes wrong today, it's all your fault. said Catherine apprehensively. She then stared coldly at Polly who was busy tasting the fine green tea served to her.

How could Lola and the other women be so easy on her?

Polly, gently waved her hand to calm her daughter, and said, "Rest assured. You'll be fine." To her delight, the green tea tasted so good that it almost felt like heaven. She hadn't had such good tea for a long time.

With Polly's reassurance, Catherine calmed down. 'As reckless as Lola was, she would not do something so disgraceful in front of such a large crowd,' Catherine thought.

It was past eight o'clock. Lola sat down with her daughters, their arms crossed. Lola stepped on stage, dressed in a beige cheongsam with a snow white suede shawl.

After presenting a speech, she asked the waitress to serve a tea that was made specially for the party.

Catherine inadvertently sat down with Lola on the same table. She glanced at every person in the room, including Ella, Daisy, Lillian and Emma.

In less than five minutes, a woman dressed in a creamy white cheongsam with a shawl that looked identical to Lola's, moved towards Catherine, who was deep in thought.

"Ms. Gu, does the tea taste good?" Ella's voice seemed to have startled Catherine.

She turned around.

Ella, Lola, Daisy and Lillian were the main focus of tonight's gathering. Their clothes were the same but differed in colour. Plus, they wore different shades of lipstick.

At that very moment, Ella with a smile, was holding a cup of green tea, as she waited for Catherine to respond. Catherine, however, stared at Ella with an indiscernible expression trying to conceal the fear that was creeping up on her.

She could not panic, no matter how much she wanted to. She just sat there and waited to see what Ella would do.

Since the two had already been in conflict out in the open, it wasn't necessary to greet each other courteously.

"What's up?" Catherine was disappointed that her tea had already cooled down.

Despite the temperature drop, she didn't like the taste of the tea very much, or any others that she had been served already.

Catherine looked calm and serene, causing Ella to sneer. She had essentially confirmed that the woman in front of her was the mastermind behind her attempted assassination.

"What happened to your face?"
