The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 136

Catherine racked her brain but couldn’t think of any reason Lance would want to see her, unless he was here to blame her for what happened to Adelina.

“With someone backing you up, you sure don’t hold back.” Lance’s voice was cool, his meaning clear as day.

But Catherine barely glanced at him. Her eyes landed on Fiona instead. By the look on Fiona’s face, she already knew Belinda and Sarah had come to stir up trouble. She must have rushed over on purpose.

So, Lance had only sent Aaron down to ‘rescue’ her because Fiona had pushed him to. He sounded like he hated every second of it, probably annoyed he hadn’t managed to get any justice for Adelina.

“Catherine.” Fiona shot Lance a warning look, then waved Catherine over.

Catherine walked over quietly. “Grandma, Sophia.”

Now that everyone knew Catherine was pregnant, Fiona’s gaze lingered on her belly. She wasn’t showing much yet, but the signs were obvious if you looked for them. Fiona knew they couldn’t drag this out any longer. If they did, Catherine’s reputation would be ruined. She needed to step in.

“Grandma believes you had nothing to do with Adelina falling down the stairs.” Fiona’s simple words hit Catherine right in the heart.

All the strength she’d forced herself to show in front of Belinda and Sarah, all that tension she’d been holding inside, snapped in an instant. Her eyes went red, and her voice came out rough. “Thank you.”

“You’ve been through so much these days. Honestly, it’s our family that owes you an apology.” Fiona was talking about all the chaos Adelina had caused lately. Catherine always ended up as the one taking the blame, and Fiona felt guilty about it.

But Catherine could only shake her head. “Grandma, it’s really not that serious. I just hope nothing like this happens again, as long as—”

“Don’t worry about it!” Fiona cut her off before she could finish. “From now on, I’ll be on your side. I promise, I won’t let anything like this happen to you again.”
