?Chapter 273:


    Katelyn’s voice immediately captured everyone’s attention.


    She burst through the door and marched into the hotel lobby, her nce at the old woman and the man carrying a clear expression of contempt.


    Their behavior was bing increasingly intolerable. Upon seeing Katelyn, the old woman’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up, her smile beaming.


    “Mia, you’re here! Tell these snobs that our family is rich! It’s just the charge for one night’s stay! So what if we charged it to our ount? They’re trying to kick us out! It’ste, and they expect us to sleep on the streets!”


    Katelyn was so pissed off she nearlyughed. What were they thinking, asking for hotel credit?


    “This hotel isn’t a charity. Why should they extend credit to you?” A hotel staff member approached with a look of relief, as if seeing a lifeline in Katelyn.


    “Miss Bailey, could you please escort them out? Their stay here could tarnish our reputation.”


    “I’m sorry. I’ll take them away immediately,” Katelyn said apologetically.


    As she spoke, she opened the hotel’s ss front door and left. The old woman and the man exchanged nces and quickly followed her.


    Despite her age, the old woman kept up with Katelyn.


    “Mia, why are you just walking away? Your father and I have nowhere to sleep tonight. Do you really want us on the streets? If you don’t want to pay for the hotel, we can stay at your ce just for tonight.”


    The man agreed eagerly, his eyes brightening at the thought of Katelyn’s luxurious vi.


    “I did some research beforeing here. You live in the most prestigious area in Granville. We can manage there for a few days. Living in such a big vi by yourself seems like such a waste.”


    Katelyn stopped abruptly and fixed them with a piercing look.


    “How many times do I have to say this? Until the paternity test results are confirmed, I have nothing to do with you. Where you stay in the meantime is none of my concern.”


    She didn’t want to make things difficult for the hotel staff, or she wouldn’t have bothered toe over.


    They imed to be her family, yet their only aim was to strip her of everything she owned.


    And the worst part was, they weren’t even her family. They acted righteously, taking advantage of their seniority. How disgusting!


    Upon hearing Katelyn’s words, the old woman frowned, looking displeased.


    “What do you mean? You’re going to leave us here? I’ve already told you that you’re my granddaughter. The paternity test results won’t change that!”


    The old woman scoffed. “Anyways, we have nowhere to stay tonight, so it looks like we’ll have to stay at your ce. I can’t believe you’d actually leave us to sleep out here on the streets.”


    Once again, she was being unreasonable.


    With her arms folded, Katelyn looked at them with clear disgust. “There’s a shelter for the homeless in Granville. You won’t have to sleep on the streets.”


    The man immediately responded, “Absolutely not! We are your family. How can you expect us to sleep in a shelter with those homeless people?”


    The old woman quickly added, “Exactly. We came all this way to see you and haven’t even asked for travel reimbursements. And now you want to send us to a ce like that! I’m warning you, if you abandon us, we’ll take our story to the media.”


    Katelyn’s eyes shed with deeper disdain.


    She detested threats above all.<fn439b> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? f?ndnovel</fn439b>


    There was no way she would be coerced into submission like this.


    The fierce colding from her frightened the old woman and the man, making their eyes widen in fear.


    What the hell was happening? The chill emanating from Katelyn was the same as that man’s.


    The old woman swallowed hard to calm her nerves.


    “We are your family. If you don’t treat us well, people will judge you.”


    “Alright. I’ll arrange a ce for you to stay,” Katelyn replied coldly.
