Chapter 140 Realizing that Catelyn had heard them bad-mouthing her the whole while, Louella pulled the
hem of Queenie’s dress as they hurriedly left the washroom.
However, Lori remained.
In the silent washroom, she looked at Catelyn arrogantly, her face full of disgust. “So you’ve heard what
we’ve said. It’s true. We were talking bad about you. What are you going to do about it?”
Catelyn felt angry at first, but she had the urge to laugh as she heard Lori’s words.
She was suddenly feeling so glad that she did not marry Jamie and that Miles would not have to live a
life with such a terrible grandma. In this case, indifference and ignorance were the most effective

Catelyn went to the sink to wash her hands, minding her own business as if Lori was not even there.
Lori yelled even more angrily when she saw Catelyn ignoring her. “Edwin would never set his eyes on
you! He has so many women around, and I bet he will forget about you very soon.” Catelyn washed her
hands slowly. “I’m sure you remembered that there is a certain someone that Edwin would not even look
in the eye?”
Lori suddenly thought of Queenie. Queenie really liked Edwin. However, not even the most delicate
makeup could hide her wrinkled, twisted-looking face. “Catelyn, stop it with your nonsense! I’ll tell Edwin
later about your true colors, and we’ll see if he would still even care about you!”
Catelyn’s eyes turned cold. She did not care about all the humiliation and name-calling. However, she
would not allow Miles to be treated so unfairly.
Catelyn walked out of the washroom quickly and happened to see a mop in the corner. Her lips curled up
slyly. She quickly locked the door from outside and placed the mop at the door handle. Then, she took a
maintenance sign and put it a few meters away from the door.
Catelyn clapped her hands gracefully. ‘Try getting out now,’ she thought. Unexpectedly, as soon as
Catelyn turned around, she saw a tall man leaning lazily on the wall a meter away.
Cedrick was holding a cigarette in his hand, and his dark eyes fixed their gaze on her…
“Are you obsessed with Edwin?” Cedrick’s words were cold and impactful, and they struck like a heavy

everything! Did he witness what she had just done as well?
Thinking of Lori in the washroom, Catelyn quickly pointed to the balcony not far away.” Cedrick, let’s talk
over there,” she said, trying to get him away from their current spot.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the insides, the balcony was extremely quiet. The fountain pool
downstairs was shimmering, reflecting on the curtains of the balcony dreamily.
Catelyn was walking very fast. She did not notice the water stains and slipped. Catelyn, wearing heals,
lost her balance and staggered to the side. She subconsciously wanted to grab the curtain as she fell…
Cedrick frowned and immediately stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. As he grabbed her mid-fall,
Catelyn landed on one leg and could barely stand for the moment.
