Chapter 122: Beat Up Lila
Lila was completely stunned by the scolding!
In all her years, when had anyone ever spoken to her like this!
Was Catherine looking for death!
"You talk to me like this, and when Alexander sees your true colors, will he still want you?"
Catherine raised an eyebrow and smiled, speaking unhurriedly: "What, you want him to have this old bitch instead? I know what I look like - I have a mirror. But you, have you never looked in a mirror? Has no one told you that your mouth is crooked? With your eyes and mouth all twisted, don't you drool at night?"
Lila was about to faint from anger!
Alexander's eyes were full of subtle amusement!
Of course he knew Catherine never held back with her words. Before, when they met by chance at the border, even without seeing her face clearly, she had silenced an entire group of people!
Her previous politeness to Lila was probably just out of respect for Marcus.
His fiancée was the most understanding girl in the world!
"I love Catherine no matter what, she's the only one I'll ever love in this lifetime."
His voice was tender and gentle, with an elegance that even time couldn't match, making Catherine's ears turn red.
She didn't know how he could say such things.
Hearing this, Lila's face turned red with anger, nearly fainting on the spot!
"I'm telling you, if you don't leave the Windsor family, I won't give you this divorce report!"
Catherine smiled faintly.
She'd stopped playing these childish games when she was three.
Lila really had a childlike heart, playing such immature little games.
"Right now, you're the one who needs to leave the Windsor family, not me."
Lila didn't expect Catherine to be so difficult!
"You're just a trashy bitch who can't be seen in public. What right do you have to stay in the Windsor family? People like you should leave to give the Windsor family some peace. I'm doing this for the Windsor family's good. One day Marcus will understand my good intentions. I'm the one who truly cares about the Windsor family!"
Catherine slowly curved her lips, propping her head up as she looked at Lila.
"Bullying my mom and trying to get your niece in position - is that also for the Windsor family's good? Are you that stupid, not knowing about laws against marrying close relatives? Or are you saying your niece and my dad aren't close relatives?"
Lila answered instinctively: "Of course they're not close relatives!"
"But I heard you introduced her as your own niece."
Catherine's face wore a light smile, as if appreciating Lila's final desperate struggle!
Lila panicked: "What do you mean? What are you trying to say!"
"I'm not trying to say anything. Weren't you the one who insisted I come? Since you don't want me to leave, let's chat about who my dad's biological mother really is?"
Lila's expression visibly became flustered!
Her eyes darted around, and her hands unconsciously started scratching at her hair, quickly making it messy like a bird's nest!
"It's me, I'm Bethany's mother, I'm his only mother. Once he was born, Marcus had to marry me!"
Lila's mental state actually collapsed right there!
Catherine had only mentioned Bethany's birth mother, and she reacted like this?
The caregiver nearby said anxiously, "Ms. Windsor, please don't upset her. She's your grandmother after all. If something happens to her, can your conscience handle it?"
Catherine walked forward, pulled open Lila's eyelids, and held her chin to examine her tongue.
"Can't even fake being sick properly. So that means my dad really isn't your biological child. I only had some doubts before, but now I'm certain."
Lila's pupils and tongue coating proved she was healthy right now. Although she would definitely develop dementia eventually, now wasn't the time.
She was just pretending to be sick to get by and stay a few more days at the Windsor family.
Lila's gaze suddenly returned to normal, and she reached out to grab Catherine's neck. If she died, at least it would pave the way for Esme! If this troublesome Catherine died, Esme would have a chance to marry into the Howard family.
A flash of coldness crossed Catherine's eyes as she saw pure murderous intent on Lila's face!
Before her hand could touch Catherine, Catherine slapped it away. The forceful slap landed on Lila's face, knocking out several teeth!
"You dare hit me! Do you want to die? I'm your grandmother! If Bethany knew you dared hit me, he'd definitely beat you to death!"
Catherine rubbed her wrist and punched the caregiver who rushed up to help right in the face!
Her voice was gentle but carried a chill.
"Sorry, but I'm hitting you on purpose! In all my years, there's really no one I wouldn't dare hit. I happen to be out of practice lately, so using you for practice seems appropriate."
Lila covered her face and collapsed helplessly on the hospital bed, feeling both scared and angry.
"Have you been wanting to hit me all along?"
Catherine slightly curved her lips, revealing a beautiful and cute smile. The two dimples at the corners of her mouth were identical to Aurora's, yet ten thousand times more terrifying!
"Correct! As a reward, I've decided to give you another beating."
Lila was truly scared now!
This Catherine was a lunatic!
"Alexander, you saw everything. Catherine is completely wrong for you! Don't let her fool you! She's a complete psycho! She can't marry into the Howard family, and the Windsor family doesn't want a daughter like this either! She even dares to hit me - what wouldn't she dare to do?"
Alexander looked at Catherine and chuckled: "Would you ever want to hit me?"
Catherine frowned and thought about it, answering honestly: "Sometimes I do. Depends on how you behave."
Alexander visibly relaxed, his face showing an extremely graceful smile, as if he'd heard some comforting good news.
"That's great. I'll definitely behave well. I'll handle the people outside - it's my honor to guard the door for you."
His words were proper and his manner composed. He didn't spare Lila even one extra glance, straightened his suit, and left.
Only Catherine, Lila, and a few burly caregivers remained in the room.
Lila's face showed vicious intent as she said viciously: "I couldn't make a move with Alexander here, but now that he's gone, do you think you'll have it easy? I'm definitely going to teach you a lesson today!"
The caregivers around her were carefully selected, all strong and sturdy, and some even knew combat techniques!
Catherine tilted her head and smiled at her.
"Come at me together. I'm in a hurry - Marcus wants me home for dinner."
More importantly, she'd already gotten the information she wanted. She had no time to waste here with Lila!
Several caregivers surrounded Catherine.
Ten minutes later, Catherine rubbed her slightly sore wrist, her foot stepping on a caregiver's face as she looked at Lila cowering and trembling on the bed.
"Give me the thing, or do you want a beating too?"
Lila couldn't say a word!
Did this Catherine grow up doing farm work? How could she be so strong!
Catherine pulled the divorce report from her hand, examined it carefully to confirm there were no problems, then turned to leave.
"No! You can't leave! Someone else wants to see you!"
Catherine turned back, looking at her like a stranger with cold eyes.
"You mean Oliver? No rush - beatings don't have to be in order. I definitely won't miss anyone!"
