Chapter 145 “Since the Clarks went bankrupt, Jamie broke it off with Catelyn, so it’s no wonder that she hates Missus Mason.”
“What exactly is going on?” Everyone lowered their voices and discussed as they scanned Catelyn and Lori. Lori’s chest heaved and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Come see this, everyone. Catelyn is a sl*t by nature and got pregnant with my son’s child when she was just a teenager!
“Mister Atherton, you don’t know this, but Catelyn has always been great at putting men under her spell. Don’t get fooled by how fragile she appears on the outside!” Furious to find out that Catelyn had locked her mother inside the bathroom, Queenie chimed in, “No matter what my mother did, Catelyn, she’s old and is your senior. How could you lock her in the bathroom?”.
Lori and Queenie’s words had caught the attention of everyone around them.
When Jamie heard the commotion, he glanced over, only to realize that his sister and mother were causing a scene and was instantly embarrassed. “Mom, Queenie, what are you two talking about?!” Jamie went up and grabbed Lori by the hem of her clothes. “Stop it!
“I’m sorry, everyone. My mother has had too much to drink. Please pay us no mind!” He only managed to be invited to the ball thanks to Louella. Every single guest in the hall was someone of high status, and Lori had practically announced to them that he had an unreasonable shrew for a mother.
However, Lori was further provoked when she saw her son siding with Catelyn. “i’m saying whatever I want, even if you try to stop me! You’re dating Louella now, Jamie, so you’re not to be fooled by this little b*tch again. She had the guts to lock me inside the bathroom!”
Catelyn did not say a word at the accusation but clenched her fists in silence.
Cedrick glanced at her swollen cheek, and the look of his eyes darkened.
The next moment, Catelyn spoke out in a casual tone, “Missus Mason, you said that I locked you inside the bathroom, but do you have any proof? Besides, why would I lock you in there?”
Lori choked on her words. She could not possibly mention that she spoke ill of Catelyn and was caught, since that would only embarrass herself.
