Chapter 169 Catelyn stared blankly at the phone screen, and the light of the desk lamp reflected her
eyebrows on the dark screen.
She knew very well that a design draft was of the utmost importance to its creator, so she had kept hers
well-protected at all times, not to mention the draft for the competition in which she had completed the
entire process at home.
There was no outsider in the house, so it could not have been stolen.
Could Stella have done it? Impossible.
It had to be someone else…
It was Queenie! She had intruded on her mobile phone that day, taking pictures around with it!
At that moment, Catelyn’s design draft was placed above the desk Queenie must have discovered it and
then used her design on it, which caused the original to be slandered as

At night.
The headquarters of Chandier Jewelry was located in one of the most prosperous business districts in
Sapphire City.
The female person in charge hung up the phone and respectfully looked at the woman sitting at the desk
“Catelyn has been disqualified from the competition according to your instructions, Miss Lola.
Kelly Preston was a woman in her forties. She was a close associate of Granny Atherton and
also one of the executives who assisted Lola in completing her jewelry design-for the competition.
Lola showed a sweet smile. “Thank you, Aunt Kelly.”
“Think nothing of it. It’s my pleasure,” said Kelly, neither humble nor arrogant. She then asked hesitantly,
“Are you not going to tell the old lady about this? This competition is very important to her.”
Lola poured a cup of hot water for Kelly and winked playfully. “Exactly, and that’s why I don’t want a

“Granny Atherton has been in a very bad mood recently. She’d listen to you and all your arrangements,
Miss Lola,” said Kelly with a smile as she took the glass of water. “She must be so happy to know that
you care so much about her.”
“I just feel so bad that she has to worry about all these things at such elderly age,” replied
Atherton as soon as possible.”
“I’ll wait for your good news on the old lady’s behalf, then,” said Kelly. “It’s getting late. Shall I ask the
driver to send you home?” Lola pointed to the time on her watch; it was almost nine o’clock Kelly asked,
“Miss Lola, aren’t you off work yet?” og “There are too many drafts for the competition. I should stay and
screen them all with a few judges,” replied Lola. Kelly felt even more satisfied after hearing Lola’s words,

The moment Kelly left, Lola took out Catelyn’s design from the stack of sifted drafts. She had designed a
ring that was fashionable, fresh, multi-purpose, and especially eye catching in material selection and
color matching. Lola sneered and threw Catelyn’s draft into the shredder. As the machine ran, a perfect
design was immediately reduced into long strips of confetti and was rendered to mere trash.
Catelyn saw the scandalous video of Queenie and the three men early in the morning, and it was filmed
in high-definition settings, no less. The key parts were coded, but Queenie’s face was featured in a
close-up. The video had also gone viral over the Internet, and the comments below it were pretty filthy.
[How much would Queenie charge per night?] (How many people can she take in together?] (How long
do you think she can last?] Many people even asked disgusting questions about Queenie publicly.
“We’ve arrived at Stadler Hill, Miss,” reminded the driver. Catelyn settled the bill and got out of the car.
Jamie’s house was located in Stadler Hill. It was a small villa with a luxurious decoration style, made of
white walls and black tiles. The housekeeper of the Mason family knew Catelyn well and respectfully
invited her into their residence.
