Chapter 221 Granny Atherton’s wrinkled face finally showed a hint of joy. “Eddy is here? Hurry, get
another pair of cutleries for him!” she ordered. “Right away,” replied the maid with a smile. Seconds later,
Edwin could be seen walking over from the hall. He was wearing a red vest and a pair of black trousers
in contrasting colors. He was also carrying a large bag in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were
habitually curved. “Did you miss me, Grandma?” “Not at all.”
The smile from the corner of her eyes gradually spread across her face in a smile.
Edwin’s expression morphed into one of hurt as he exaggeratedly shouted, “Hey, it seems that I’m not
welcome at all. Oh, well, I’ll just leave the gift here and go. Sorry for being annoying!” Granny Atherton
glanced at him. “Oh, grow up, won’t you! Still so childish.” Edwin smiled as he handed all the gifts in his
hand to the housekeeper.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe housekeeper glanced at the contents in the box and said to Granny Atherton, “Madam, look! Master
Edwin has given you so many high-end supplements. You’re not even done with the previous ones!”
“You brought so many supplements. It’s such a waste to not finish them,” said Granny Atherton to Edwin.
He stretched lazily and moved his wrists. “Anyway, most of these were given to me by other business
partners. It’s the least I could do to give them to you.”
“Hey, Edwin. Please take a seat,” said Lola. She looked restrained upon his arrival, and she immediately
lost her calm.
No matter how much Lola tried to please Granny Atherton, she would never speak to her with such a
tone.
Edwin saw Lola and said, “Tsk! Even Lola is here now. How are things with your sister and Jamie?”
Lola’s heart sank, and she took a glimpse at Granny Atherton subconsciously. Back when the old lady
was a young woman, something had happened between her and the head of the Mason family, which
caused her to despise the Masons until this very day.
Despite this, she did not prevent people from the Athertons from interacting with the Masons. After all,
their business circle was very vast in Sapphire City, and she had already passed on her authority to the
new generation. Still, not many people had dared to mention the Masons to her.
“My sister didn’t really want it, but Jamie had accidentally impregnated her. She couldn’t have an
abortion due to her thin uterus, so she have no choice but to accept Jamie…” explained Lola.
Granny Atherton’s face softened a little. “No wonder Louella hasn’t come to see me much recently. She’s
pregnant?”
“Uh-huh,”
“Give her some supplements for me when you leave later on.” Granny Atherton took a sip of tea lazily,

were saying?” Lola hurriedly replied, “Grandma, there is a very outstanding designer in this competition,
but the manuscript she brought for the competition has been proven to be plagiarized.”
“Plagiarism?” The old lady showed a deep disgust on her face. “This is unacceptable!”
“Grandma, calm down.” Lola lightly patted Granny Atherton’s back as she tried to comfort her, “I’ve
already disqualified her from the competition, and it won’t affect the reputation of Chandier Jewelry.”
Edwin shot Lola a dark stare. “The plagiarist you’re talking about is Catelyn, right?” he sneered. “You
know that, too?” Lola deliberately misinterpreted his meaning and winked at him.
Edwin sat on the chair and folded his legs gracefully. “Whatever you told Grandma wasn’t the same as
what I’ve heard.”
“Edwin, you’re not in charge of this competition, so you may not understand the situation at hand. The
design that Catelyn handed in was indeed plagiarized. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Kelly about it,”
said Lola.
