Chapter 299 Chapter 299

Catelyn noticed that the car Granny Atherton was in slowed down. Assuming that the driver had stopped, she moved to run toward the car.

Much to her bewilderment, the engine roared again as the car seemingly drove toward her. There was a layer of tinted frame on the window of the Bently, so she could not see into the car, but she could sense an icy, viscous stare directed at her, almost like the way a hunter would stare at his dying prey.

It had to be Lola. The driver had not expected Catelyn to stand her ground in the middle of the road, even when he sped up. His hands started shaking, and a thin layer of sweat gathered on his forehead as the car got closer to Catelyn.

Catelyn froze in place, unable to move as her feet felt extremely heavy. 'Lola had the gall to run over me with Old Madam Atherton by her side? Or is this Old Madam Atherton's command?' she thought as her heart sank into her stomach.

Screech!

The driver steered the steering wheel. - Just as the car was about to race past Catelyn's body, she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist from behind. Following the deafening sound of wind blowing by her ears, she fell to the ground, rolling. The rocks on the road scraped her arms, and blood started gushing out of the wounds. Catelyn's rescuer held her up and nervously scanned her injuries.

Catelyn narrowed her eyes, and the sight of the man's seductive features came into sight. With a lump forming in her throat, she sighed quietly, not knowing if she felt disappointed or glad. "It's you..." With that she closed her eyes and fell into darkness.

Edwin's face tightened as he moved swiftly to lift her. The car nearly ran into Catelyn but had not caused much damage. Although the driver did not hit her, his eyes widened in fear as he spun his head to speak to Granny Atherton. "That... That man who just ran over seems to be Master Edwin."

Edwin?

Granny Atherton slowly recovered from the car's sudden halt and hastily glanced outside the window. Edwin was walking toward the car with the unconscious woman in his arms. Seeing that he was not injured, the old lady sighed in relief.

Lola knew that Edwin hated her and would surely snap at her for Catelyn's sake, so she looked to Granny Atherton timidly and said, "Grandma, it looks like cousin Edwin really cares about Catelyn. I told the driver to run her over... Am I getting into trouble?"

Although she had a tendency to spoil Edwin, the old lady did not approve of his lifestyle. "Don't panic. I'm right here."

Lola forced a smile at Granny Atherton's reassurance.

Moments later, Edwin arrived by the car, carrying Catelyn. As expected, he spotted Lola in the backseat of the car.

He had already guessed that Lola was behind everything, thus he shot her a cold stare and commanded, "Get out."

"1-I'm sorry, Cousin. I really didn't think that she'd just stand there..." Lola bit her lower lip with tears in her eyes as she was about to open the door and get out.

Granny Atherton, however, grabbed her arm and stopped Lola from getting off.

It was unpleasant enough that Edwin had not greeted her immediately, but he had confronted Lola right before her face! Her expression darkened.
