Chapter 708
Quinn was clearly implying that if she was to come clean about their relationship, Stella would risk losing everything while Quinn would lose her job at Mason Group!
Stella looked at Quinn and turned to Catelyn again. Her silence was taken as an agreement to Quinn's statement.
Catelyn's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"Fine. Since I'm clearly the bad person here, I'll stop interfering. Go ahead and do as you please, but don't come crying to me if anything ever happens in the future!" Catelyn growled and left the scene, enraged.
She had been staying at Ocean Path Residence for years and had grown fond of it. On top of that, Joanne had just bought a room there as well, and she was hoping to come visit once in a while.
Alas, it seemed to her that she would not be coming back anytime soon.
They were right. Quinn was indeed Stella's biological daughter, and Catelyn was just her stepdaughter. It only made sense that Stella would have more trust in Quinn.
Even if it was to reserve her title and wealth, she would never tell her the truth.
Lola had managed to track down Eugene, the second Young Master of the Athertons.
Eugene was Granny Atherton's second son, which made him
Edwin's second uncle. However, Eugene had not always been the most capable man, and Granny Atherton never truly placed much thought or effort on him. His role in the company was insignificant, too.
Eugene had always looked down on Lola, especially since she was just a nobody in the entertainment circle.
The entertainment industry was complicated and full of drama and hierarchy, which was why Eugene had declined Lola's request to see her.
Lola had to go through different gateways to time a 'coincidental' meet-up with Eugene at an antique auction.
Eugene was passionate about antiques, so he frequented auctions during his free time.
When Lola showed up at the auction and sat next to Eugene, he did not even bother to acknowledge her.
"Uncle Eugene, I know you're a busy man and had no time to see me, but what if I tell you that I have a good business opportunity to share with you?" Lola said to Eugene.
Compared to Harry, Eugene was lacking in terms of appearance.
"I've heard that you've been going around asking for sponsors for a movie that you're filming. Are you trying to get me in as well?" asked Eugene, seemingly uninterested.
"I'd never trouble you with such matters," said Lola as she retrieved a sheet of paper from her golden purse.
Eugene had no interest in the sheet of paper as his eyes were still glued onto the antiques.
"Uncle Eugene, you'd regret it if you don't take a look at this," said Lola with a smile.
Eugene scoffed, refusing to believe her.
"I thought I could help make Granny think more highly of you with this, but since you don't need it, I'll go look for someone else, " said Lola as she got up to leave.
Eugene's interest was reeled back the moment he heard Lola mentioning Granny Atherton. The fact that Eugene lacked power within the Athertons' was known by most.
"Wait."
