Chapter 281 A Fan's Passionate Confession to Richard
Catherine didn't give a damn about the past anymore!
After finding out Elodie was actually her biological grandmother, Catherine figured Oliver and Celeste were irrelevant to her.
But Oliver had no right to treat Elodie badly, especially after she adopted him!
Catherine patted Marcus on the shoulder. "Grandpa, look at me. I'm doing fine, right? Am I not good enough, or are you not proud of me?"
Marcus's eyes widened in disbelief. He grabbed Catherine's hand. "Who dares to say my granddaughter isn't amazing? I'll deal with them!"
Charles looked at Catherine and smiled gently. "Yeah, Catherine is really something. Honestly, before you came back, I was already thinking about how to guide you."
To his surprise, Catherine excelled in everything she did, even to the point of astonishing Charles!
Juniper raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah, Catherine, you don't know that Charles raised me and my brothers. He's really good at raising kids."
Charles always believed that the best time to plant a tree was nineteen years ago and now. Even if Catherine came back from the Smith Family and wasn't good enough, he could still teach her well!
Catherine smiled. "If I'm good enough, then why have you all been crying since you saw me? If you're satisfied, show me more smiles."
The Windsor Family brought Catherine a sense of family and warmth she had never felt before.
As the leader of the Galactic Aurora Collective, Catherine was never short of praise and recognition from all walks of life.
'Actually, before I came back, I told my teachers that if the Windsor Family was like the Smith Family, I would just take a look and leave. But now, I really hope to live with everyone,' Catherine thought.
The elders of the Galactic Aurora Collective felt sorry for the days Catherine spent with the Smith Family, but they knew Catherine couldn't let go of Elodie, so they didn't persuade her.
Marcus was gratified, his eyes full of affection. "Alright, from now on, we'll all smile at Catherine! I'll call Timothy and send a few more people over to him."
Marcus's tone shifted; the more he cared for Catherine, the more he despised the Smith Family! He turned and went into his study, and soon, loud arguments could be heard from inside.
"Timothy, these people have been bad to Elodie! Not giving her food, does that count as bad?"
"I've sent you a few videos, take a look and you'll see!"
"What? Why are there two more kids? Buy two, get two free! You deal with them all!"
"I'm not wasting words with you! Do whatever you want with them!"
From Marcus's words, it seemed he was planning to send Clara and Esme to Ironclad Jail!
Juniper was surprised. "Those two, with their delicate skin, one punch and they'll probably cry for a long time, right?"
She doubted whether Clara and Esme could survive three days in a place like Ironclad Jail.
Catherine said calmly, "It's none of our business anymore; they brought it on themselves."
If Oliver and Celeste hadn't caused trouble, they might have been able to serve their time peacefully.
Juniper sighed, "Now they'll know that serving time in Stellara is safer."
They could have gone to prison quietly, but they had to come out and seek trouble. Now they were headed to a super-luxury prison on the border!
Catherine glanced at her phone; Timothy had sent a message seeking credit.
Timothy: [Catherine, how do you want to deal with them? I'll do whatever you say! Feed them to the sharks or bury them in the sand as fertilizer?]
Catherine: [Get all the info they have, and then do whatever you want with them.]
Catherine didn't care if those people lived or died. She just wanted to know if Oliver and Celeste had any more secrets, especially since Celeste had taken her from the orphanage back then!
Esme must have done a lot of shady stuff in the Windsor Family over the years. The Windsors deserved to know all of it!
Over at Starry Residence, in one of the outermost apartment buildings, Lyra was pacing back and forth in her room. She was still worried about whether the Windsor Family would sue her; she couldn't afford to mess with their legal team.
'It's all Catherine's fault for being so heartless, even to her adoptive parents. The Windsor Family probably doesn't know her true nature!' Lyra thought as she looked at the info on her phone and learned from a friend that Richard had been on vacation recently.
Her eyes lit up!
'This means Richard might come home, and we live in the same neighborhood now!' The thought of possibly running into Richard made Lyra ecstatic. She quickly put on makeup, changed her clothes, and went out, not daring to get close to the Moonlight Mansion, but finding a corner in the neighborhood to squat down.
A silver car slowly drove into the exclusive driveway of Moonlight Mansion. The Windsor Family liked to get out at the door and then have the driver park the car in the underground garage.
Richard stepped out of the car with his long legs. His manager was beside him, reminding, "Even though you're on vacation, you need to stay safe. Dye your hair back before your next gig!"
Richard had dyed his hair silver-white for his vacation, giving him a rebellious look. With his face that could pull off any hairstyle, he always gave himself a wild look during vacations. And his fans always bought it, being utterly charmed by Richard's different sides!
"It's fine, my next gig is with my family's business; they wouldn't dare say anything," Richard said.
The manager took a deep breath. Even after working with Richard for many years, she still got annoyed by Richard's bragging about inheriting the family business. "Fine, do whatever you want, just make sure to change it back before your next gig. Be careful not to run into any crazy fans in the neighborhood."
Richard's gaze fell on a suspicious person not far away, dressed in colorful clothes and wearing a hat, squatting by the flower bed.
Richard frowned. "I think that person over there is either urinating and defecating anywhere or a crazy fan."
Lyra's eyes lit up when she saw Richard looking at her! She quickly stood up from the flower bed and rushed over. "Richard! I'm your fan and also your sister Catherine's classmate."
Since Lyra was Catherine's classmate, Richard's expression softened a bit, and he retracted the gesture he was about to make. If Lyra had been a bit slower in saying that, she would have already been pinned down by the Windsor Family's bodyguards!
Richard didn't let his guard down and took a step back. "What do you want?"
"Richard, I really like you! You're my whole life. Do you know my feeling?" Lyra said.
Hearing this passionate confession, Richard took another step back, and a cold, mocking voice sounded behind him.
Catherine leaned on her balcony, resting her chin on her hand, looking at Lyra. "Your whole life is Richard?"
Juniper chimed in, "I didn't look closely just now, but now that I see, you do look quite refreshing."
