Chapter 924
Before Catelyn could finish her sentence, someone behind her bumped her arm that was holding a
wine glass. Everyone watched as the red wine in the glass spilled onto the oil painting.
The audience was silent for two seconds.
Tracy gasped, pulled the oil painting back swiftly, and hurriedly took a tissue paper to wipe the red
wine stain. Unfortunately, it was too late.
The red wine seeped into the canvas, and the paint got wet, lost its original artistic conception, and
became a waste product.
Seeing that the painting could not be repaired, Tracy bit her lip in grief, looked at Catelyn, and said,
"Miss Atherton, I know my father has offended you, but this painting had cost me tens of millions. I bid
for it at the Swiss auction house for Grandma! I know you hate me, but you can't just ruin my gift like

Sammy pulled off the hem of Tracy's clothes fearfully. "Tracy, how can you talk to Miss Atherton like
that?! Hurry up and apologize!"
Ì didn’t do anything wrong. I won't apologize!" Tracy wiped away her tears stubbornly, looking pitiful.
With the honorific title of 'Miss Atherton', Sammy and Tracy successfully put Catelyn in a position of a bully as if she
had been treating Tracy badly.
Whispers and accusations immediately came from the crowd.
"How rude is she?"
"I know she's the most respectful granddaughter of Old Lady Atherton, but Tracy is Old Madam Atherton's
granddaughter, too. Being the descendant of her son, Tracy's bloodline is purer than Catelyn who was just the
descendant of the daughter."
"I saw her dignified manner and thought she was a civilized lady, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious!"
"It's probably because her birthday present isn't as valuable as the painting, so she wants to destroy that painting to
embarrass Tracy."
When Cedrick heard those slanders, his expression contorted with fury, which terrified all the guests in the hall and
silenced them.
No one in the hall knew Catelyn better than him, and he was clear that she would not destroy the painting on
purpose, not to mention that it was a gift to her grandmother.
Even if she did that intentionally, these outsiders had no right to comment on that.
Catelyn was very moved that Cedrick always stood up for her, and she was not frightened by everyone's aggressive
attitude.
Her eyes slowly fell on Tracy.
Before this, she always felt that Tracy seemed to have a bit of hostility toward her. It seemed that her
intuition was right after all.

Not knowing what Catelyn was thinking, Tracy nodded. "Yes, and I keep the receipt with me. If you
don't believe me, I can show it to you."
"Then, you should thank me for destroying this oil painting."
Catelyn's words surprised Tracy, causing her to gasp and hardly breathe. She laughed out of extreme
anger as if she was wronged. "Thank you for destroying the gift that I spent a lot of money and time
on! I've learned a lesson, Miss Atherton!"
The guests present were even more pissed off by Catelyn's utterance. She was simply too aggressive!
A lady daughter who was close to Tracy sneered, ’ Miss Atherton, I heard that your father used to be a
murderer, and you used to be homeless before your sudden level-up and became a lady of the
Atherton family. Did the excitement impaired your brain? You asked Tracy to thank you for destroying
such a precious oil painting, so does that mean the family of the victim killed by your father should
worship your father?"
A small group of guests snickered suddenly, and they looked at Catelyn disdainfully.
