Chapter 312 “Oh, dear–I did step on you! So sorry about that. “Still, my dear cousin, didn’t I tell you
before to not touch Catelyn?”
Edwin’s tone shifted at that point. His usual nonchalant self had vanished, and his eyes were sharp as
blades. “Have you forgotten about that?” Lola lost her composure, and her expression shifted as tears
welled up in her eyes. “I…I’m sorry, Edwin. Please, just let go of my hand!”
Edwin’s expression was unforgiving. Not only did he not remove his feet, but he even pressed down on
her hand even more harshly. “You’re hurt, huh?”
Lola sobbed as she nodded aggressively, her eyes red with tears.
“Now, you’ll remember that no matter how lowly someone is to you, you can’t just do whatever you want
with them,” enunciated Edwin as he eventually removed his feet from her hand.
With a face scrunched in agony, Lola pulled her hand back without even picking her phone up. The back
of her hand was imprinted with Edwin’s shoe print, creased with deep and shallow lines. There were

Lola was enraged. She hated how everyone was on Catelyn’s side!
At that moment, Joanne picked up Lola’s phone on the floor and gave it to Catelyn, who played the
recorded audio with the click of a button.
It was a conversation between all three women.
From the audio alone, it sounded like Catelyn and Joanne were the villains, while Lola was the one
spouting apologies. Moreover, Joanne’s last sentence about slicing her face up truly made Lola look like
the victim in their argument.
It was obvious that Lola came prepared.
Catelyn eventually concluded that Lola did this so she could have Granny Atherton listen, all so that Lola
would appear to be a saint among them.
Lola listened to the audio, and her face was pale as a sheet of paper.
She saw how kindly Granny Atherton was to Catelyn the day before, and even though she had no idea
why she did that, she was not going to risk letting Catelyn have the upper hand again.
This was why she wanted to show how arrogant Catelyn could be so that Granny Atherton would dislike
her!
“I’m such a klutz… I didn’t even know when it started recording!” Lola tried her best to hide the guilt in
her eyes and pretended to be innocent. “I’ll switch it off right now. I really have no bad intentions.”
The veins on Cedrick’s forehead had become visible with his evident disgust toward Lola.
Did she think everyone here was stupid?

gave you wasn’t enough, thus enabling you to make more mistakes!”
Lola was stunned by his cold rage.
At that moment, someone else pushed the door open from outside.
It was none other than Granny Atherton herself. Granny Atherton walked in with the help of Kelly, and
following closely behind were two tall, strong bodyguards.
Lola felt relieved as if she had just found her savior. She ran over to her and sobbed,” Grandma, thank
god you’re here! “Catelyn insisted that I harmed her, but I’m innocent!”
Lola’s eyes brimmed with tears. Her hair was messy, and the back of her hand was covered in fresh
wounds. She was, to put it simply, in shambles.
Catelyn was stunned for a brief moment as she stared at Granny Atherton. ‘Isn’t she the old lady from
Chandier Jewelry shop the other day?’
