Chapter 798
Quinn subconsciously glanced at the maids behind her.
Seeing their expressions were calm as usual, she continued, "I admit that you helped me when I was living in Sapphire City, but it doesn't mean that I can’t live my life. Are you jealous that I've finally met my grandmother and become the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton? If you don't want to come, you can just be honest."
Catelyn did not care whether or not she was truly grateful to her.
Just as Quinn was about to place the invitation back into her purse, Catelyn quickly snatched it. She started to read the words written on the card.
[With the joy we share in finding my granddaughter, the Atherton family has specially organized a dinner party and sincerely requests the pleasure of your company.]
The signee was Granny Atherton.
"Yes, why would I not want it?" Catelyn closed the invitation slowly and looked at Quinn with cold eyes. " You said that you're sincerely inviting me, so how rude would I be to reject it? You may want to be careful though, Miss Weir. The same knife cuts bread and
fingers."
Quinn felt a chill on her back when she heard that.
She immediately responded with a smile and straightened her back, caressing her belly gently as she did.
"Ah, one more thing. Grandpa Mason has just invited me to be a guest. He said that you'll soon divorce Master Cedrick and make room for me and the baby in my belly. Oh, so sorry that I took your man from you.”
When Joanne heard that, she almost burst with anger. " Are you pregnant?"
"Yeah, did I stutter?" Quinn covered her mouth exaggeratedly with an expression of being wronged, and she rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry. The baby isn't Cedrick's; I've never been to a hotel with Cedrick either.
"I guess I'll go first. Remember to come to the family reunion banquet next week."
Quinn walked away triumphantly.
Joanne stared at her back fiercely, not wanting that dog to walk away unscathed.
She was about to catch her up when Catelyn grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Why are you stopping me?" hissed Joanne. "Quinn said she has Master Cedrick's child! I’ll beat her so badly
that she'll miscarry. Let's see how proud she'll be by then!
"When did Master Cedrick hook up with her, anyway? A pregnancy test will take at least half a month-"
Joanne quickly stopped in fear of upsetting Catelyn.
Catelyn bit her lower lip and restrainedly said, "She's the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton now. It'll only cause US more trouble if we do something to her. It’s best to play her game on the same level.”
"Do you have a plan?" Joanne hurriedly asked.
Through the glass window, Catelyn glanced at Stella, who was lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Since Quinn wanted to get rid of Stella so much, she decided to surprise her with a 'gift'.
Back in Ocean Path Residence.
Since no one had lived in for a few days, dust had accumulated.
