Chapter 280 Sending Celeste and Oliver to Ironclad Jail
Marcus snapped, "Missing Catherine? Seriously, how dare you!"
Oliver, eyeing the swanky decor of the Windsor Mansion, figured he'd crash there until he could score some cash. "Elodie treated Catherine like gold, even better than Clara, her own granddaughter!"
Mentioning Elodie made Marcus scoff, "Elodie treated Catherine well because Catherine is her real granddaughter. It has nothing to do with you."
Oliver thought Marcus meant Elodie raised Catherine like her own and didn't think much more about it. "We've been taking care of Catherine for almost nineteen years, putting in all that effort."
Marcus raised an eyebrow, radiating authority. "Catherine grew up without you ever celebrating her birthday. You withheld her tuition and living expenses, and you didn't even let her eat enough at night. Is that what you call raising her for nineteen years?"
Oliver shot back confidently, "Little girls who eat too much when they're young have a hard time losing weight when they grow up! Celeste struggled with that, and I didn't want Catherine to go through the same. Not letting her eat was also to keep her from getting too tall; being too tall makes it hard to get married!"
The Windsor Family had never seen such shameless people!
After returning to the Windsor Family, Catherine had grown a bit and was now over 5 feet 8 inches tall, towering over Celeste and Oliver.
Marcus laughed in disbelief. "So you're saying not feeding Catherine was out of concern for her?"
"That's exactly what I mean," Oliver said.
"What are you here for? If you don't spill, I'll call the cops to kick you out!" Marcus said.
Oliver wasn't there to see Catherine; he just wanted to hit up the Windsor Family for money. "We're all family, and I don't have any other requests. Just look at my health; I want to see Catherine get married in the future. I heard George is a doctor. I hope he can treat me so that Catherine can have a healthy father! And then give us half of the Windsor Family's estate and buy me a private jet so we can visit back and forth easily!"
The distance from Serenitia City to Imperia City was too far, taking over ten hours by car.
On the way, Oliver had already decided to ask the Windsor Family for a private jet!
The Windsor Family members were all laughing in disbelief.
Juniper's hand was shaking as she recorded the video. "I've never seen such shameless people."
Marcus looked speechlessly at Oliver and Celeste, then turned his gaze to Catherine behind him. "Catherine, Aurora said Starry Residence is your house. You make the decisions here, and I support you."
Marcus meant that since Oliver and Celeste mistreated Catherine, she had the right to deal with them.
Charles nodded in agreement. "Catherine, don't worry. Whatever you do, we've got your back. Getting rid of two people in the world is no big deal."
Just looking at Oliver and Celeste's shameless and greedy behavior made Charles feel heartbroken as he remembered Catherine and Elodie had spent their past days with such people!
When Oliver heard that Starry Residence was under Catherine's control, he added another condition. "By the way, Celeste and I don't have a place to live. This place looks a bit small, but we can also live here. Catherine, just transfer it to us!"
Catherine stepped out from behind Marcus, her knuckles cracking. "If you want to settle accounts, let's settle them."
Catherine took out her phone and connected it to the giant screen projector in the Windsor Mansion's living room.
The first scene was in a hospital.
Celeste pointed at Clara lying in bed and angrily scolded Catherine standing nearby. "You saw the car coming! Why didn't you protect Clara? It wouldn't have mattered if you got hit; now Clara's got a broken bone!"
Catherine looked at Celeste. "Two years ago, when Clara had that car accident, you hadn't done a paternity test yet and didn't know I wasn't your daughter."
Catherine's tone dripped with sarcasm, making Celeste's face turn red. She thought, 'Damn Catherine, how did she record such old events on video!'
The second scene was in Oliver's office.
Oliver was smoking and instructing his secretary. "Contact that boss from last time. Tell him I'll agree to any terms as long as they ask for less money."
The secretary said, "Mr. Smith, that boss is sixty years old and seems interested in Catherine."
"She's just a worthless daughter. Let him have her for fun. Isn't a daughter's purpose to pay off my debts?" Oliver said.
Catherine chuckled. "Oliver, is this what you call treating me well? Sending me to a sixty-year-old man for fun?"
Oliver was stunned, wondering how Catherine knew what happened in his office! "You ungrateful wretch; you installed surveillance in my office!"
Catherine sneered, "I'm not interested in your dirty deeds."
The third scene was at the Smith Villa.
Celeste looked at a bill. "Oliver, I want to buy a handbag. It costs a bit over fifty thousand dollars."
"Another one? Fine, consider it your birthday gift. We earned a lot this month," Oliver said.
"Thank you, Oliver! Elodie's hospital bill came again. What kind of medicine costs over ten thousand dollars? She's just a worthless life; does she need such expensive medicine?" Celeste said.
Oliver was also impatient. "Hospitals are all scams. Use a few dollars' worth of medicine instead. Tell them to change it, or we won't pay."
Catherine sighed.
Elodie was using targeted therapy drugs, which cost a lot every month, not to mention the private care room, which was a daily expense.
That ten-thousand-dollar bill was just the leftover after Catherine had paid everything else, and Oliver still didn't want to pay!
Seeing these videos, Oliver was sweating profusely!
Catherine smiled. "Do you want to keep watching? I have plenty more. Let's see how you treated me and Elodie so well. This kind of 'goodness' is truly unheard of and unseen."
Catherine didn't want to show these things because she didn't want to make the Windsor Family sad! Luckily, Aurora and Brandon weren't home.
Marcus clenched his fists, his anger boiling over! "How dare you treat Catherine and Elodie like this! How dare you!"
Oliver tried to explain, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
Charles gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. "Catherine, how do you want to deal with them? It's up to you, and I'll support you!"
Catherine was no longer sad. "Oliver used to say he liked islands. Timothy wants to know more about Elodie's past. Let's kill two birds with one stone and send them to Ironclad Jail."
In Ironclad Jail, Timothy would give them the best treatment!
Oliver and Celeste tried to say something but were knocked out by the bodyguards and carried away, directly sent to the helicopter heading to Ironclad Jail!
Seeing the Windsor Family members with tearful eyes, Catherine lowered her gaze, feeling a warm current in her heart. She stepped forward and gently hugged Marcus, whose eyes were red. "It's okay, Grandpa. I have you all now, and I'm already very happy."
