?Chapter 274:
Suddenly, Katelyn adjusted her tone, seemingly forced into a reluctant agreement. As a result, the cold vibe she had been projecting diminished somewhat.
The old woman felt a surge of triumph, convinced that girls from the city like Katelyn were too soft. As long as she caused a scene, they would yield.
“That’s more like it! It’s gettingte. Hurry up, take us to your ce. I’m exhausted,” the man chimed in impatiently. “We’ll take your bedroom for the next few days. You can manage with the living room sofa.”
Katelyn inwardly scoffed at their audacity.
She had never encountered such shameless people before. Katelyn wondered where Lise hade across such fools.
Nevertheless, Katelyn absentmindedly nodded in response. She had rushed over earlier, so her car was still at the hotel entrance—a glossy red Maserati.
As Katelyn approached the car with the keys, the middle-aged man followed, admiringly stroking the car.
“This is a really fancy car. Amazing! Mia, you must have more than one car. How about giving me one? Driving it back to our vige would make everyone so jealous.”
“The car is from mypany,” Katelyn replied evenly. She opened the door, and the old woman and her son quickly got inside.
Their interest was piqued by the mention of Katelyn’spany. The old woman asked, “The man you were with earlier is your boss, isn’t he? I can see he’s quite interested in you. You’re divorced but still manage to attract such a sessful man. You should hold on to him. Get as much as you can from him.”<fn7866> Content originallyes from F?nd-Novel</fn7866>
While exploring the car’s interior, the old woman gave her advice.

“The amount he offers will show how much he values you. For a boss of his stature, even 10 million dors isn’t asking too much. I can hold onto the money for you. If you need anything, I’ll hand it over.”
As she spoke, the old woman wore a grin, clearly envisioning the wonderful life she could have with 10 million dors.
She doubted she’d even manage to spend all that money in her lifetime.
Before Katelyn could respond, the middle-aged man chimed in excitedly, “Mom, times have changed. Why cling to old-fashioned ideas? I’ve done some digging on that man.”
He’s incredibly wealthy. Ten million is a drop in the bucket for him. Mia is exceptional. She should ask for as much as she can.
Katelyn gripped the steering wheel tighter, wishing she could silence them permanently.
“He’s just my boss. Don’t get ahead of yourselves.”
The old woman mistook Katelyn’s frustration for modesty and insisted, “Why are you so shy? That man is clearly interested in you. This is an incredible opportunity. It’s rare to find such a wealthy man right after a divorce. Don’t let this chance slip by.”
Katelyn’s patience wore thin, and she was in no mood to entertain their chatter. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel and pressed down on the gas.
The luxury car immediately picked up speed, silencing the old woman and her son as their faces turned white. Their fear of the sudden burst of speed left them speechless. Katelyn relished the silence. But once they got used to it, the old womanined again, “Why did you drive so fast just now? I’ve told you I have heart problems. What if something bad happened to me?”
Katelyn remained expressionless and elerated again.
Each time the old woman spoke, Katelyn would speed up. After several such jolts, the old woman finally stopped talking but continued to re at Katelyn with resentment.
She silently vowed to get back at Katelyn once the DNA results were in.
Katelyn didn’t drive them to her vi but instead headed north.
Eventually, she parked in front of another grand vi.
The architecture and décor resembled her own residence. With shaky legs, the old woman exited the car, and upon seeing the house, she eximed, “Mia, is this your ce too?”
