When Polly lived with her husband's family, Elaine had often taken advantage of her mother-in-law's favor towards her to bully Polly. Later, Elaine became a heavy gambler. Her addiction to gambling made her mother-in-law dislike her. Since then, she never had the courage to return to the family home.
Polly felt that she was no longer disadvantaged by Elaine, though her husband did not live up to her expectations.
In addition to that, it was said that Elaine was proud of having been distraught by numerous scandals. Polly was no longer sad when she thought about how much Elaine had suffered.
Emma didn't have much to be ashamed of, and Catherine's bruises and scars were not visible. She had nothing to fear.
Determinedly, Polly got Catherine out of the room, and into her second-hand BMW, and drove towards Ditter Hotel.
They arrived shortly after.
Polly was watching celebrities walk in and out of the hotel. She had her biggest grin plastered on her attractive face. She felt the urge to be on the same social level as them.
Catherine had tried hard to get out of her mother's grip, but Polly held her hand tightly, reluctant to release her until they arrived at the entrance of Ditter Hotel.
Catherine realised there was no turning back.
The hotel had been refurnished with dozens of tables. Lola had hired a lot of professional waitresses to serve the tea, because it was indeed a tea party.
Standing by the doorway, mother and daughter could hear people talking, and smell the strong aroma of the various tea being served.
"Mom, if something goes wrong today, it's all your fault. said Catherine apprehensively. She then stared coldly at Polly who was busy tasting the fine green tea served to her.
How could Lola and the other women be so easy on her?
Polly, gently waved her hand to calm her daughter, and said, "Rest assured. You'll be fine." To her delight, the green tea tasted so good that it almost felt like heaven. She hadn't had such good tea for a long time.
With Polly's reassurance, Catherine calmed down. 'As reckless as Lola was,
“Do you still want to run away after what happened last night?”
Their relationship changes overnight. She tries to keep her distance from him, while he comes closer and closer.
Spoiling her, he gives her everything she desires. His only wish is to keep her around. The whole world is envious of what she has.
“Never rush in a relationship,” she says calmly.
take long for a young girl to exclaim, "It reads home wrecker."
The rumour that Catherine was a mistress was now confirmed.
"Of course, she is a home wrecker. Ella has already spilled the secret."
"I have told you not to judge a woman by her looks."
……
The conversation turned ugly. Catherine's true colours were revealed as she listened in horror.
She forcibly broke free from Ella's grip and glared at her. "Ella, you are such a jealous woman. Samuel and I were in love. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended our engagement, " said Catherine fiercely, snapping her fingers.
She regretted thst she hadn't hired a hit-man to have Ella assassinated.
"Is it?" Ella intervened in a sarcastic voice. She was a bit jealous even though she knew Catherine was lying.
Nevertheless, Catherine nodded to the affirmative, after some hesitation.
Ella asked Lola to bring her phone.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she dialled Samuel's number.
The phone was quickly connected. Ella put the phone on loudspeaker. "Ella...", Samuel's voice boomed through the phone.
"Dear, Ms. Gu told me that you and her were in love. I called to verify, " Ella said in a calm voice, stolidly.
Samuel was apprehensive, fearing that she may have misunderstood him.
"Dear, isn't it clear to you already?" Samuel didn't know what was going on, so he told her the truth.
