Chapter 391
Ann shoved the woman away, who bumped into Grayson''s arms without hesitation. Only then did she
realize she seemed to have misunderstood. Madeline was not the kind of woman who deliberately
came to ces like clubhouses to manufacture a ''fateful encounter'' with rich people.
Ann initially thought the woman was Madeline because the men who came out chasing those women
looked very wealthy, and they were obviously the sons of affluent families. Madeline led the life she
could only dream of—a life surrounded by tall, handsome men who cared and loved her.
Since that woman''s goal was not Grayson, and naturally, what happened just now was a
misunderstanding, she could just let it go. Still, even though Ann wanted to, Madeline''s brat refused
and even asked her to apologize to that woman!
She might have apologized if she felt like it. Yet, the brat not only asked her to apologize but also
pretended to be innocent when he questioned Ann! Ann could not resist the urge to kick that brat to
death, but she dared not, as she still wanted to marry Grayson. No matter how much she hated that
brat, she could not afford to show it on her face.
Hence, Ann squeezed out a smile. "It was just a misunderstanding, my love. I thought it was a gold
digger who wanted to seduce Grayson."
"Oh—" Joel flickered his eyes. "Since it was a misunderstanding, you should say sorry to Katy! Mom
said that a good kid must say sorry, so you must say sorry too!"
Ann almost fainted from rage when she heard that. What was this brat trying to say? That if she did not
apologize, she was a bad person? The worse thing was she had to pretend that she was not infuriated.
"Although I misunderstood her, she bumped into Grayson first. So, we are both at fault."
Caitlin gave Ann a stern look and turned to Grayson. "I''m sorry. I ran too fast and identally bumped
into you."
Grayson hurriedly said, "It''s nothing. It was just an ident."
"There is a blood stain on your coat. Let me buy you a new one." Caitlin looked at his left shoulder.
"No need. It''s just a trivial matter. Since you''re Joel''s aunt, you''re not an outsider. So you don''t need to
be so polite." As he spoke, he lowered his head and nced at his shoulder. He did not notice that a
small portion of the coat was stained with blood. It must have been stained when she bumped into him
and left some of the blood from her forehead on the coat.
Most doctors were a bit of a neat freak, and so was Grayson. But even if he felt a little nervous about
strangers'' blood on his clothes, his excellent upbringing and demeanor kept him from showing it.
Fortunately, it was just a coat, so he could take it off upstairs. Heforted himself in his heart, trying
to ignore the blood on his shoulders.
Caitlin smiled at him and turned to look at Ann. "Well? I identally bumped into Joel''s uncle, and I
have apologized. It''s your turn." She ran too fast as she felt anxious and dizzy, so it was her fault that
she identally bumped into Grayson. But Ann just called her ''slut'' without reason, and that angered
her.
For the past 20 years, she has been the little princess favored by her parents and admired by many.
Although the Owen Family was bankrupt and her parents passed away, her temperament as the
pampered princess could not be changed overnight. She would own up to whatever she did wrong, and
so must the other party.
"Yes, Katy is right!" Joel looked at Ann with a serious face and said, "It''s wrong to scold people! Say
sorry to Katy!"
It was easy to say ''I''m sorry'' most of the time, but sometimes, it was the most challenging thing to say.
It was evident that Ann was experiencing thetter situation. In the meantime, many people watched on
the sideline as the drama unfolded. Not everyone could hold a membership at the Club Tempest, and
only those with wealth or power could enter. Because these people had high social status, they could
not put aside their pride to pry at the drama, but this did not stop them from watching in the distance.
Ann was reluctant to apologize to Caitlin as she was being watched closely. It was as if she had done
something wrong but did not. How could she have misunderstood if it were not for Caitlin suddenly
bumping into Grayson''s arms? Besides, Caitlin must have done it on purpose since there were so
many people in the clubhouse, and yet, she chose Grayson. Was she in the wrong to think that Caitlin
was deliberately trying to seduce Grayson? It was all Caitlin''s fault, so why should she apologize? In
particr, Caitlin was Madeline''s friend, and the two little brats Madeline bred were standing beside
Caitlin pressuring her to apologize!
The more she thought about it, the more the rage in her grew. So, she raised her chin arrogantly and
sneered. "If you hadn''t bumped into Grayson, I would not have mistakenly thought you wanted his
attention, and I would not have scolded you. You were in the wrong first, and you must bear the
consequences. I don''t f*cking need to apologize to you!"
Just as Caitlin was about to rebuke Ann, Caitlin heard a sweet and pleasant voice from behind. "Katy?"
In the distance, Madeline could be seen walking over hurriedly, and her gazended on Caitlin''s
forehead first. "What happened? How did you hurt yourself so badly?"
Caitlin tried reassuring Madeline by saying, "Nothing serious. It''s just that I identally rubbed the skin
against something."
Madeline then turned to Grayson. "Grayson, what''s the matter? Did you two fight?"
Without waiting for Grayson''s response, Ann interrupted the conversation impatiently, "The injury on
her forehead has nothing to do with Grayson. What''s wrong with you?"
Madeline was stunned at Ann''s rude response. She merely heard from Quinton that Grayson had a
fight with someone, and as she reached the scene, she saw Caitlin and Grayson standing opposite
each other, looking as if they were in a confrontation. She was afraid that both of them had some
misunderstanding, that was why she asked the question. When did she ever use Grayson?
This time, Joel genuinely felt angry as he saw how his mother was being rudely treated. He stood with
arms akimbo and yelled, "Why are you using Mom? Mom didn''t even say that Grayson caused the
wound on Katy''s forehead! She only asked if Grayson fought with Katy! You scolded Katy, and you
wronged my Mom. I hate you!"
"Yeah!" Quincy nodded with a sullen face. "You''re mean to Mom! You deliberately wronged Mom!" Even
though he was still young, he was already a sensitive kid. He could feel Ann''s malice toward his
mother, even if Ann tried her best not to show it.
Caitlin nced at Ann before turning to look at Madeline. "Do you have beef with her?" Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
