Chapter 122 Beat Up Lila
Lila was totally floored by Catherine's outburst! 'I've been around for years and never been talked to like this! Is Catherine asking for trouble?'
"If you keep talking to me like that, do you think Alexander will still want you after seeing your true colors?" Lila shot back.
Catherine raised an eyebrow and smirked, speaking slowly, "Or would he prefer an old hag like you? I know what I look like when I check the mirror. But you, have you ever looked in one? Has no one told you your mouth is crooked? With those crooked eyes and mouth, don't you drool at night?"
Lila was about to pass out from anger!
Alexander's eyes had a hint of amusement as he thought, 'I know Catherine never holds back with her words. When we bumped into each other at the border, even without seeing her face clearly, she managed to shut down an entire organization! She was polite to Lila before, probably out of respect for Marcus. My fiancée is the most understanding girl in the world!'
"I like Catherine no matter what. In this lifetime, I only love her." His voice was gentle and tender, making Catherine's ears turn red.
Catherine wondered how he could say such things.
Lila's face turned beet red with anger, almost fainting on the spot! "If you don't leave the Windsor family, I won't give you this divorce report!"
Catherine smiled faintly and thought, 'Such childish tricks, I stopped playing them when I was three. Lila really has a child's heart, playing such silly games.'
"Now it's you who needs to leave the Windsor family, not me," Catherine said.
Lila didn't expect Catherine to be so tough! "You're just a worthless brat. What right do you have to stay in the Windsor family? People like you should leave to give us some peace. I'm doing this for the good of my family. Sooner or later, Marcus will understand my good intentions. I'm the one who truly cares about the Windsor family!"
Catherine slowly curled her lips, resting her head on her hand as she looked at Lila. "Bullying my mom and trying to get your niece from your family to take her place is also for the good of the Windsor family? Are you so dumb that you don't know close relatives can't marry, or do you think your niece and Brandon aren't close relatives?"
Lila instinctively replied, "Of course, they're not close relatives!"
"But I heard you introduced your biological niece." Catherine's face had a faint curve, as if she was enjoying Lila's last struggle!
Lila became anxious. "What do you mean? What are you trying to say?"
"I'm not trying to say anything. Didn't you insist on me coming? Since you don't want me to leave, let's talk about who my dad's biological mother really is," Catherine said calmly.
Lila's expression visibly panicked! Her eyes darted around, and she unconsciously started scratching her hair, soon making it a mess like a haystack.
"It's me, I'm Brandon's mother. He only has me as his mother. With him, Marcus would be willing to marry me!" Lila's mental state completely collapsed! Just mentioning Brandon's biological mother made her react like this.
A nearby nurse was a bit anxious, "Ms. Catherine Windsor, please don't provoke Mrs. Lila Windsor. After all, she's your biological grandmother. If something happens to her, can you live with your conscience?"
Catherine stepped forward, pried open Lila's eyelids, and checked her tongue. "Can't even fake being sick properly, so Brandon really isn't your biological son. I was just a bit suspicious before, but now I'm sure."
Lila's pupils and tongue showed she was healthy, though she was definitely on the road to dementia. Right now, she was just faking it to stick around the Windsor family a bit longer.
Lila's eyes snapped back to normal, and she lunged at Catherine, thinking, 'If Catherine dies, it'll clear the way for Esme! If Catherine's out of the picture, Esme can marry into the Howard family.'
A cold glint flashed in Catherine's eyes as she saw the murderous intent on Lila's face.
Before Lila could lay a finger on her, Catherine slapped her so hard she knocked out a few teeth!
"How dare you hit me! Do you have a death wish? I'm your grandmother! If Brandon knew you dared to hit me, he'd kill you!" Lila screamed.
Catherine rubbed her wrist and then punched the nurse who tried to intervene right in the face. Her voice was gentle but icy. "Sorry, but I did hit you! I've never been afraid to hit anyone. My hands are a bit rusty, so practicing on you is just right."
Lila clutched her face, falling onto the bed, both scared and furious. "Have you always wanted to hit me?"
Catherine slightly curled her lips, revealing a beautiful and cute smile, with dimples just like Aurora's, but a thousand times more terrifying. "Correct, and as a reward, I decide to hit you again."
Lila was truly scared, thinking Catherine was a lunatic. "Alexander, you saw it all! Catherine is not worthy of you! Don't be fooled by her! She's completely insane! She can't marry into the Howard family, and the Windsor family doesn't want a daughter like her! She even dares to hit me, what won't she dare to do?"
Alexander looked at Catherine, chuckling. "Would you ever want to hit me?"
Catherine frowned, thought for a moment, and honestly replied, "Sometimes, depending on your behavior."
Alexander visibly relaxed, his face lighting up with a bright smile, as if he had heard something comforting. "That's great, I'll make sure to behave well. It's my honor to guard the door for you." He spoke gracefully, acted calmly, and didn't spare a glance at Lila, straightening his suit and turning to leave.
Only Catherine, Lila, and a few strong nurses were left in the room.
Lila's face turned vicious as she said, "With Alexander here, I couldn't do anything to you. Now that he's gone, do you think you'll have a good time? Today, I'll make sure to deal with you properly!"
The nurses around her were carefully selected, all strong and even skilled in some combat techniques.
Catherine tilted her head and smiled at her. "Come together, I'm in a hurry. Grandpa wants me home for dinner."
More importantly, Catherine had already gotten the information she wanted and didn't have time to waste with Lila.
The nurses surrounded Catherine. Ten minutes later, Catherine rubbed her slightly sore wrist, stepping on a nurse's face, looking at Lila trembling on the bed.
"Give me the document, or do you want a beating too?" Catherine asked.
Lila couldn't say a word, wondering, 'Is Catherine raised doing farm work? How could she be so strong!'
Catherine took the divorce report from Lila's hand, carefully checked it, and confirmed there were no issues, turning to leave.
"No! You can't leave! Someone else wants to see you!" Lila shouted.
Catherine turned back, looking at her like a stranger, her gaze cold. "You mean Oliver? No rush, beatings don't have to be in order, I won't miss anyone!"
