Chapter 119
She was also the one who hung up the call in a hurry!
Bet repeatedly told himself that woman had long been unrted to him.
Catalina had such a humble background. She was licentious. Even on her wedding night, she slept in
another man''s bed. She was the perpetrator who caused his brother to lie in bed for four years!
How could he continue to be infatuated with her?
How could he continue to be entangled with that woman?
Moreover, Warren would wake up soon.
And she originally belonged to Warren.
It all depended on Warren whether she had to leave or stay.
Bet had no say on those.
At best, he was a thief who took advantage of the opportunity halfway through.
He never had any ownership of that woman!
So, let it be like that...
Catalina took a taxi to Shaffer Mountain.
Shaffer Mountain never allowed foreign vehicles to enter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Catalina got out of the car, she saw Kyler.
She had been waiting at the security booth at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing Catalina, she respectfully bowed and said, "Mrs. Shaffer, please get into the car."
The way Kyler addressed Catalina as Mrs. Shaffer made her face instantly pale.
She clenched her fist in anger.
She had no choice but to silently get into the car with much reluctance and unwillingness.
The car was heading to Sandal Vi.
Along the way, she didn''t say a word.
She tightly bit her lower lip until it bled, but she refused to let go.
She would probably face another silent storm in a short while.
Mrs. Carolyn of Sandal Vi seemed harmless on the surface, but in reality, every move she made was
deadly, leaving no chance for her to catch her breath.
After about half an hour, Kyler led Catalina into the Buddhist hall again.
"Give me the medicine!"
Now, Catalina was no longer as polite and respectful as earlier.
She looked at the back of the woman who was in front of her, and her heart was filled with anger.
However, that womanpletely ignored her and continued to strike the temple block in front of her,
softly reciting scriptures.
Catalina felt somewhat frustrated.
She would rather be scolded by Mrs. Carolyn than face a situation where not a word was spoken.
For her, it was pure torture.
Catalina waited for another five minutes.
Carolyn, who was in front of the Buddha statue remained silent.
She seemed to be very patient,pletely different from the irritable Bet.
Finally, Catalina couldn''t hold back her frustration any longer. She clenched her fists, her eyes turned
red, and asked, "What do you want to spare my family?"
Carolyn stopped striking the temple block.
The recitation finally came to a halt.
She calmly ced the temple block down and bowed to the Buddha in front of her. Without turning
back, she told Catalina, "Marry Warren, be Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer family, and I will ensure the
safety of your entire family."
Catalina''s face turned pale. She shook her head and said, "Why do you insist on forcing me to marry
Warren? There are so many well-matched youngdies in this world. They all dream of marrying into
the Shaffer family and bing Mrs. Shaffer. Why don''t you let them marry him instead of me?"
"Then why are you so unwilling to marry him?"
Carolyn turned around and asked Catalina.
Her gaze was sharp as if she could see through her heart with just one nce.
"I..."
Catalina felt her heart racing under her gaze.
She bit her lips and answered nervously, "I don''t like Warren, so I don''t want to marry him."
"Huh?"
Carolyn sneered, "You like Ben. Don''t you?"
Catalina didn''t know how to answer.
Being hit right at the core of her feelings, Catalina''s expression lookedplicated.
In the face of Mrs. Carolyn''s certainty, she couldn''t even deny it.
Carolyn turned around, looked at the Buddha in front of her, and coldly reprimanded, "You''re
daydreaming! That''s too over!"
Catalina felt a tightness in her chest.
Her eyes became moist.
Her face was as pale as paper.
In that one-sided and unequal love, she was already humble enough.
She didn''t even dare to show her true feelings in front of others for fear of beingughed at.
And now, Mrs. Carolyn just spoke it out like that made her feel sad and shame at the same time. She
wished that she could find a hole to hide in it.
At that moment, she felt like a clown, with nowhere to hide.
"Catalina, bing Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer family, that isn''t a choice for you. You have to do it
regardless of what! Yesterday, when I asked you here, it wasn''t for a discussion."
"Do I not have the right to choose?"
Catalina was very angry.
"What makes you think that you can talk about choices with me? You are just a nobody."
Catalina was speechless.
She clenched her fists tightly, trembling uncontrobly.
Her nails were almost digging into her flesh, but she didn''t feel any pain.
Yes, in front of the Shaffer family, when did Catalina ever have the right to choose?
Four years ago, she was forced to marry Warren.
No one ever asked if she was willing to do so.
Four yearster, she was forced to sleep with Bet.
And Bet never asked if she was willing to do that either!

Until now, Mrs. Carolyn was once again pressuring her to marry Warren, and yet, no one cared
whether she was willing to do it or not.
"I don''t understand..."
Catalina''s teardrops rolled down with grievances. She said, "Why does it have to be me? Four years
ago, I caused Warren to be a vegetative state. Why are you still forcing me to marry him four
yearster? Why not choose a better wife for Warren, who is more suitable for him? Isn''t that better?
Now, you still want Warren to marry me, don''t you think he can''t keep his dignity? Doesn''t the Shaffer
family care about their reputation?"
Carolyn remained indifferent.
She walked slowly in the Buddhist hall and continued, "Catalina four years ago, I personally chose you
to be Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer family. At that wedding four years ago, everyone used you of being
licentious and promiscuous, but I knew that the man who forced you that night was Bet."
Catalina looked at the woman in front of her in shock.
Although she rarely left her home, she was actually more perceptive than most people.
"I had the surveince erased, so for so many years, Bet has never obtained any evidence.
Catalina, I chose you to be Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer family for two reasons. First, I didn''t want you to
covet Ben. He is the only heir of the Shaffer family and you don''t match him! Secondly..."
Carolyn paused at that point.
She didn''t continue, only smirked with a cold smile, "The less you know, the better. After all, the more
one knows, the more tragic the oue will be! Look at Warren who is lying in bed now."
Hearing Carolyn''s words, Catalina''s spine shuddered.
She felt as if a vast and sinister conspiracy was slowly spreading its ws toward her.
Just as Catalina had thought, that matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"I won''t agree!"
Catalina was horrified and her palms were covered in cold sweat. She added, "I don''t care what you''re
plotting, but it has nothing to do with me. I am also a victim, and I don''t want to be involved in your
conspiracy. I won''t marry Warren. I won''t be Mrs. Shaffer! I won''t marry! I won''tply!"
Catalina''s stance was resolute.
Her fists hanging by her sides kept trembling.
"Fine, if you don''t want to marry him, you just have to wait to witness the Duffy family''s only son dying
miserably in prison. After two days, you will have to mourn for your grandmother''s passing. Don''t worry,
only you and I know about these matters. No one will me you for being so clue, nor will they say you
are unfilial..."
Catalina gritted her teeth hard till she was about to grind them into pieces.
Her mouth was filled with blood.
She was trembling all over.
