Chapter 81
Chapter 81 Mr. Atherton saw the expression on his two daughters’ faces and knew they must have
screwed something up. He was even more displeased. However, he spoiled his girls as they grew up. He
could not beat them but could only punish them in some other ways.
“From now on, your allowances will be cut by half until you both behave yourselves!” he said before
leaving exasperated with his investment proposal, thinking of seeking another way to fund his project.
L watched as her father disappeared into the hallway, and anger shed through her gaze. Catelyn!
“L, Jamie… told me about something at the hospital…”
Loue quickly informed L about Jamie’s reaction and had stopped crying over him. She was
concerned and asked, “Could Catelyn really have hooked up with someone that we should not have
offended?” L was irritated. She said sarcastically, “No way, she barely has any opportunity to hook up
with someone from the upper ss!”
“However, our father really lost the deal…” Loue was concerned and looked at L. “Maybe we should
plead with Catelyn to resolve this peacefully and ask her to convince the man behind her…”
“Asking me to forgo my ego and plead for peace? You might as well walk over my dead body,” L
rejected the idea without hesitation. “This may be a coincidence, it could also be my previous admirers
who did not win my heart and became vengeful!”
In the meantime, Catelyn was discharged from the hospital and was still feeling drowsy. Her face was still
pale, and she could only ask Anne for another three days off to rest. Anne told her that Miles knew she
was taken to the police station. Catelyn was worried. Miles could never stand seeing her being bullied.
She took a cab to Miles’ kindergarten, intending to see if Miles was throwing a tantrum. To her surprise,
as soon as she arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher came out smiling. “Ms. Catelyn, Miles’ writing is
really good. We are nominating him to join a writingpetition. Would you be okay with it?”
Miss Jane was also a young woman. She wore a ponytail, a long white dress, and a pair of sses with
a ck frame. Catelyn was stunned. She thought Miles ran into a fight. “Apetition?”
“Yes, I have rrever expected a child to be so good at writing!” Ms. Jane took out a paper and
passed it to Catelyn. Catelyn looked at the paper and was astonished. It was a simple, short passage,
but the story was given life and soul through the way he wrote it. This… This was written by Miles?
Did he not hate writing the most?
Catelyn was so doubtful about it. She could not help but go outside of the ssroom and peeked through
the window panes at Miles. Twenty-plus children were sitting prim and proper in the ss. The teacher
was scribbling on the ckboard, while a few kids were dozing off, their heads on their hands, some
were zoning out, except Miles, who sat up straight, and was paying full attention to the lesson. He looked
at ease. There was no sign of being worried or frustrated.
Her baby had grown so much.

Catelyn waited at Ms. Jane’s office for Miles. Not too long after, she dozed off.
While unconscious, she somehow felt a pair of eyes watching her. She opened her eyelidszily, and
what came into sight was a small but excited and thrilled face. “Mummy, you are awake!” Ollie was
extremely excited and satisfied at the same time. He was so up close to Aunt Catelyn. Plus, he could
have her read bedtime stories tonight.
He sprinted to the pantry and got a ss of water for Catelyn, passing it politely to her. “Ms. Jane said
you are unwell and asked me not to disturb you. Are you better now? Do you want some warm water?”
Ollie was still caring as he usually was. Catelyn received a ss of water and took a small sip, and
asked, “Miles, did you give mummy’s supervisor a callst night?” Ollie nodded his head and answered,
“Yes.” “So you knew I was at the police stationst night?”
