Chapter 120
"Aren't you afraid of backlash saying these in front of the Lord Buddha?"
"Kyler, show her the door!"
"Yes!"
Kyler opened the door and entered.
"Fine!"
Head low and teeth gritted, Catalina answered tremblingly.
Tears fell to her feet and shattered, like beads cut from the cord.
Carolyn looked at her, "What did you say? I didn't hear it."
"...I'll marry!"
Catalina bit her lip hard, "I'll marry him! Are you happy now?"
Carolyn waved to Kyler, signaling him to leave.
Kyler exited the Buddhist hall respectfully.
Before he left, he closed the ancient wooden door with a "creak".
Catalina was trembling all over, as if she had made a decision that brought her extreme pain.
This decision made her feel as painful as being cut off bones and flesh.
Because once it's settled, it means that the relationship between her and Bennett is really... completely
over!
From onwards, it would be immoral even just to dream about him.
Carolyn approached her, "Catalina, don't try to fight me. You are too weak to do that. I could manipulate
you in a breeze if I want to."
Catalina's teeth chattered, "Can you give me the medicine now?And my brother, you can let him off
now, right?"
"Kyler will make arrangements."
"If anything happened to my grandmom, today's promise will be nothing!"
After saying this, Catalina turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Carolyn stopped her.
"Anything else?"
Catalina clenched her fists.
"Since you are now Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer family, starting from tomorrow, you will move into Ink
Villa and look after Warren."
Moving into Ink Villa?
Catalina turned her head and frowned, "But you didn't mention that just now."
"Don't tell me you want to live apart after marriage?"
"But Warren hasn't woken up yet. We can't get married for the time being!"
"Who said you can't?"
Carolyn has already arranged everything, "Your engagement banquet will be on this evening. I have
already informed guests. The wedding will be held at Ink Villa. Prominent figures from political and
business circles will come. So, Catalina, you can't embarrass the the Shaffer family again!"
Catalina held back her tears and took a deep breath.
It seems that Carolyn already predicted her response.
She, Catalina, is like a lamb to the slaughter, with nowhere to escape.
"Kyler." Carolyn turned a blind eye to Catalina's pain.
"Yes!"
Kyler pushed the door open, "Ma'am."

"But what about my grandma..."
"Mrs. Shaffer, you can rest assured, as long as you cooperate with us, Mrs. Nash and Mr. Duffy will be
safe and sound. Now please come with me!"
Kyler's implication was obviously that if she didn't cooperate, her grandmother and cousin would have
different results.
Catalina had no choice.
Even if this was the last thing she wanted to do, she had to do it.

Eyes lusterless, Catalina sat in front of the vanity mirror like a puppet, letting the dresser apply makeup
on her.
"My master has a call coming in, call, call, please answer the call..."
On the dressing table, Catalina's cell phone rang.
Catalina suddenly returned to her senses.
Glancing at the phone screen, she saw the call was from aunt Keira.
Catalina quickly picked it up.
"Auntie, how is the situation at the hospital? And what about Zavier, has he come out yet?"
"I was about to tell you this!"
It can be heard that aunt sounded much more relaxed on the other end of the phone.
"A bunch of doctors came to see your grandmother just now, and they are all famous doctors! The
medicine was also delivered, and your grandmother was transferred to the VIP ward. She has woken
up, and seems to be in a good state of mind. Zavier has also come out. He is taking a taxi to the
hospital now!"
"Great!"
Catalina breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lina, thank you! I know that these must be the credit of you and Bennett. When your grandmom is
discharged from the hospital, bring Bennett back for dinner! Your grandmom always talks about him,
saying that it has been a long time since she saw him!"
Hearing aunt mention Bennett, Catalina felt like a needle pricking her heart.
She couldn't tell aunt that she and Bennett had broken up long time ago.
No, to be precise, the relationship never started at all.
Nor could she tell aunt that she will soon marry Warren and become Bennett's sister-in-law.
Catalina's throat choked up a little, but she forced herself to act relaxed, "Okay, I will."
"Where are you now? Are you with Bennett? Are you coming to the hospital later?"
"Auntie, you may need to take care of grandma for the rest of the day. I am too busy with work right
now, and really won't be able to leave for a while. I'm sorry. After I finish my work, I would definitely go
to see grandma as soon as possible."
"It's okay, it's okay. You young people still have to work. I'll take care of your grandma, so you don't
have to worry."
"Thank you, aunt. Also, I saw that Zavier was badly injured too. Don't forget to ask the doctor to take a
look at him when he arrives, in case of infection, okay?"
Catalina exhorted worriedly.
"You are so considerate. Sure, I get it. Go get busy!"
"Okay, goodbye, auntie..."
"Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Catalina's eyes were filled up with tears again.
Fortunately, at least the families were safe.
Everyone she wanted to protect was protected.
Catalina took a deep breath and forced back her tears.
Head up, she looked at herself with makeup in the mirror.
Catalina, this is the end of the matter. Accept your fate!
From now on, you are Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer family, Warren's fiancée!
No more contact with the third young master of the Shaffer family!
Even that mind has to stop thinking about him, forever!
Eight o'clock in the evening, at Ink Villa on Shaffer Mountain--
The banquet hall of nearly 1,000 square meters was filled with a boiling cauldron of voices and festive
sound of glasses clinking.
Celebrities and socialites from political and business circles have come here upon hearing the news.
"Mr. Shaffer, Mrs. Carolyn, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Thanks!"
"Congratulations to both of you for finding a good daughter-in-law."
"Thanks, thanks."
With exquisite makeup, Wesley and Carolyn stood at the entrance of the banquet, greeted all the
guests, and accepted everyone's blessings.
Warren, the groom-to-be, was still lying in bed and hasn't woken up, so it was naturally impossible for
him to attend the banquet.
What about the heroine of this engagement banquet?
Everyone, no doubt, was full of curiosity about tonight's heroine.
Who can be so capable as to marry into the the Shaffer family?
Even though Warren is in vegetative state now, countless people want to marry their daughter into the
the Shaffer family.
What an honor would it be to marry into the the Shaffer family?
Even though the husband is currently in vegetative state, the identity as Mrs. Shaffer of the Shaffer
family could guarantee food, clothing, and happiness of her whole family.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for the bride-to-be to enter the venue.
Presumably, it must be a famous lady from a big family!
