    Chapter 80


    “I…”


    “Get out!”


    Jamie howled at Loue, and his eyes were bloodshot. Loue shivered and ran out, feeling wronged.


    Tears streamed down her cheeks… Loue’s family was in the construction business. In recent years,


    L won Granny Atherton’s heart, so her father was quite favored too and was doing well in the industry.


    Loue got together with Jamie, and her father was now connected with the extended family of the


    Mason. He pulled in more investments and was nning to build a new factory.


    However, that morning, Mr. Atherton received a call from the counterparty, saying that they were pulling


    out of the deal.


    Mr. Atherton panicked and said, “Mr. Lewis, we came to a verbal agreement before this. How could you


    back out at thest minute even though we had not written it down?”


    Mr. Lewis’ tone was different from his usual friendly one, and he snickered. “Mr. Atherton, even if we had


    signed the agreement, I will still back out from this deal! I will not support you even if it would breach the


    agreement!” “What… What do you mean?”


    “Mr. Atherton, your daughter is a blessing and a curse. She had offended someone. Did you not know?”


    Mr. Lewis hung up. Mr. Atherton was astounded. L was always sweet and smart and was resourceful


    in managing business matters. She was always his favorite. Even the most respected Granny Atherton


    loved her as though she was her immediate granddaughter.


    How could she have offended anyone?


    Mr. Atherton wanted to call Mr. Lewis for an exnation, but only to realize he was blocked! Mr. Atherton


    was so infuriated.


    In the meantime, Loue came running across the hall while crying. Even though she was not as spoiled


    by her father as L was, she was still loved by her father. She did not notice her father’s expression


    and was crying to him. “Daddy, what have I done wrongly? Why did Jamie treat me that way? I was only


    doing it for our own good…”


    “All you do is cry!” Mr. Atherton did not console her like he usually did but mmed his palni against the


    table and said, “Ask your sister toe back right now. I need to ask her something!”


    Loue was stunned and felt even more wronged. However, she would not defy what her father wanted.

    L was quickly called back. She had no idea what happened and had gone out shopping with her


    friends earlier, only to return home with numerous bags of items she had bought.


    Mr. Atherton was already furious and got even angrier seeing howvishly she was spending. He picked


    up the ashtray and threw it in her direction.


    Smack! Even though the ashtray did not hit L, she was petrified. Her shopping bags dropped all over


    the floor, and her clothes and jewelry fell out of the bags.


    “Dad, are you crazy?” L was still in shock and looked at her father in disbelief. “Are you trying to hit


    me with the ashtray? What if my face gets scarred?”


    “Let me ask you, who did you offend out there?”


    “Who could I have offended? You could ask my sister. Granny wanted to organize apetition. I was


    especially well behaved recently and had been helping Granny,” L said. Mr. Atherton mmed the


    table again, his veins on his forehead bulged. “My investment deal got blown off. The counterparty said it


    was because you offended someone! Don’t you dare lie to me!”


    “I did not…” L stopped herself. Did she offend anyone? The only person that she deliberately


    ‘handled’ recently was Catelyn rk Could it be Catelyn rk? No way!
