“What are you doing, Terry? Stop this at once!” snapped Lola. The woman seemed full of herself as a cold aura seeped out of her in her intimidating presence, leaving the people around her shivering in fear.
Terry quickly stopped circling. He felt so dizzy that he lay on the floor with his feet up in the air. Everyone else in the office struggled to hold in their laughter at the sight, but they managed nonetheless. Lola looked at Catelyn, then at the boy in her arms. “I don’t care who you are, little boy. This is my family’s company. Leave now, or you’ll be sorry,” she warned. Lola paused for a moment before turning to Catelyn, rebuking her, “The nerve you have. Hand in your resignation yourself; BrightGene Group doesn’t need an employee like you!” Catelyn had long expected that Lola would not just sit around and do nothing. After stirring up such a commotion on this day, Catelyn knew she would not last any longer in the company. Thus, she took off the employee card and threw it on the desk before turning to pack up her belongings. “Wait!” shouted Lola, stopping Catelyn. “You’ve disrupted the order of the company and hurt so many people with this so-called young master of the Mason family. Are you not going to do anything about it?”
Catelyn took a deep breath before she turned to look at Lola. “What do you want, then?”
“You should pay fifteen thousand dollars toward five people for their medical expenses. Besides, Terry is also your immediate boss. Now that you’ve made fun of him, shouldn’t you kneel and apologize to him?” said Lola, her expression hardening ruthlessly.
Lola did not believe Catelyn held any power. Even if the police could not handle her, she would not let her live in peace.
Meanwhile, Miles was starting to hate the old woman in front of him. His eyes gleamed with malice as he glared at her. “I’m the one who beat them up, and I kicked the old pervert, too. How does this have anything to do with Aunty Catelyn?”
“What can a child like you understand? Catelyn must’ve instigated this.” Lola’s eyes swept toward Catelyn like a sharp blade. “Catelyn, aren’t you going to kneel?” she demanded in a threatening tone.
Catelyn sneered. “Kneel for Terry? I might as well do it in front of his grave.”
Everyone was stunned at Catelyn’s bold response.
“So I’ll take that as a no?” asked Lola.
“Who are you asking to kneel to whom?” At this moment, a low, stern male voice came out of nowhere, immediately overshadowing Lola’s question. The atmosphere quickly changed in an
instant, and the surrounding air turned cold. Cedrick Mason strode forward with steady and unbridled steps, exuding a menacing aura as he casually walked toward Catelyn and Miles. He then stretched his hands out in a protective stance before them.
With his arrival, the office hall fell into a dead silence, followed by a frantic discussion. Who was this dashingly handsome man? He had a demanding presence!
The moment Lola saw Cedrick, she raised her head high with a surprised look in her eyes. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
It was him.
She had fallen for him since the last time they met in the hospital. “You?” Lola showed a smile that she thought was noble and stretched out her hand to the man. “Hello, I’m Lola from the Atherton family, and my father is Henry Atherton. It’s nice to see you again.” “Henry? Never heard of him.” Cedrick did not even bat an eye at Lola, causing her hands to ball tightly into fists and her pretty face to turn red. She was practically ignored! Cedrick retracted his gaze. He then glanced at Catelyn, and then at Miles in her arms, frowning. “You’re getting more and more courageous now. Who made you come here?” Miles,
whom Cedrick thought was Ollie all along, was not afraid of Cedrick at all as he pouted at him. “Well, you’re here too, aren’t you?”
