Chapter 80
“I…”
“Get out!”
Jamie howled at Louella, and his eyes were bloodshot. Louella shivered and ran out, feeling wronged.
Tears streamed down her cheeks… Louella’s family was in the construction business. In recent years,
Lola won Granny Atherton’s heart, so her father was quite favored too and was doing well in the industry.
Louella got together with Jamie, and her father was now connected with the extended family of the
Mason. He pulled in more investments and was planning to build a new factory.
However, that morning, Mr. Atherton received a call from the counterparty, saying that they were pulling
out of the deal.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Atherton panicked and said, “Mr. Lewis, we came to a verbal agreement before this. How could you
back out at the last minute even though we had not written it down?”
Mr. Lewis’ tone was different from his usual friendly one, and he snickered. “Mr. Atherton, even if we had
signed the agreement, I will still back out from this deal! I will not support you even if it would breach the
agreement!” “What… What do you mean?”
“Mr. Atherton, your daughter is a blessing and a curse. She had offended someone. Did you not know?”
Mr. Lewis hung up. Mr. Atherton was astounded. Lola was always sweet and smart and was resourceful
in managing business matters. She was always his favorite. Even the most respected Granny Atherton
loved her as though she was her immediate granddaughter.
How could she have offended anyone?
Mr. Atherton wanted to call Mr. Lewis for an explanation, but only to realize he was blocked! Mr. Atherton
was so infuriated.
In the meantime, Louella came running across the hall while crying. Even though she was not as spoiled
by her father as Lola was, she was still loved by her father. She did not notice her father’s expression
and was crying to him. “Daddy, what have I done wrongly? Why did Jamie treat me that way? I was only
doing it for our own good…”
“All you do is cry!” Mr. Atherton did not console her like he usually did but slammed his palni against the
table and said, “Ask your sister to come back right now. I need to ask her something!”
Louella was stunned and felt even more wronged. However, she would not defy what her father wanted.
Lola was quickly called back. She had no idea what happened and had gone out shopping with her
friends earlier, only to return home with numerous bags of items she had bought.
Mr. Atherton was already furious and got even angrier seeing how lavishly she was spending. He picked

Smack! Even though the ashtray did not hit Lola, she was petrified. Her shopping bags dropped all over
the floor, and her clothes and jewelry fell out of the bags.
“Dad, are you crazy?” Lola was still in shock and looked at her father in disbelief. “Are you trying to hit
me with the ashtray? What if my face gets scarred?”
“Let me ask you, who did you offend out there?”
“Who could I have offended? You could ask my sister. Granny wanted to organize a competition. I was
especially well behaved recently and had been helping Granny,” Lola said. Mr. Atherton slammed the
table again, his veins on his forehead bulged. “My investment deal got blown off. The counterparty said it
was because you offended someone! Don’t you dare lie to me!”
“I did not…” Lola stopped herself. Did she offend anyone? The only person that she deliberately
‘handled’ recently was Catelyn Clark Could it be Catelyn Clark? No way!
