Chapter 411

Can the treatment of a son and daughter-in-law be the same? Definitely not.

Katelyn dropped off Herman at the hospital in her car, and then hailed a cab back to Salstrom Manor.

She needed to prepare dinner

On her way back, she tried calling Feiman but got no answer. Katelyn muttered, “What’s he up to now?

So secretive, even his phone is off.”

Over the years, Feiman had always treated her kindly, except when Grannie Anita provoked a fight.

Feiman preferred to pour oil on troubled waters rather than resolving the issue. Apart from this, Feiman

was an ideal husband, so Katelyn never doubted him having an affair.

Since she couldn’t get through, Katelyn gave up calling.

Once home, Katelyn heard Grannie Anita chattering on the phone about hiring a private investigator.

She asked, “Anita, who are you calling?”

Grannie Anita instantly hung up the phone. Her face was as stern as ever. “Who I call is none of your

business,” she snapped.

Katelyn merely ignored her and walked towards the kitchen. “I’m making lamb chops for dinner. Do you

want anything else?” She planned to cook dinner herself that night.

“I’m over eighty, but you want to make lamb chops. This is like a slap in my face…”

Katelyn quickly added, “Herman is coming home for dinner.”

Grannie Anita changed her tone immediately. “Herman loves lamb chops. Go ahead and make them.”

Katelyn smiled. Grannie Anita acted like a child sometimes. Donning her apron, Katelyn began

marinating the lamb chops in red wine to eliminate the gamey taste. Grannie Anita came closer and

asked, “Is that witch coming back?”

Katelyn knew she was referring to Anastasia.

“Ana won’t be coming. She’s taking care of Pattie at the hospital,” Katelyn replied. “Mom, please don’t

talk about Ana like that in front of Herman. It upsets him.“

“She deserves it. I can’t even speak my mind now?” Grannie Anita’s face creased in irritation. “Katelyn,

look at yourself. That witch even brought her trash here and you still defend her. From the day you

stepped into this house, I knew you weren’t cut out to be the lady of a grand house. You lack the aura.

Katelyn had heard this so many times. It fell on deaf ears now. She continued marinating the lamb

chops, ignoring Grannie Anita’s words. She also prepared a lamb stew, planning to take it to Anastasia

at the hospital when Herman returned.

Chapter 411

Finding no takers for her taunts, Grannie Anita moved to the living room to watch TV. In her leisure, she

called Julie.

Walking past the living room, Katelyn overhead Grannie Anita’s call to Julie, which worried her a bit.

Julie, that girl had a wicked mind. Half of Grannie Anita’s hostility towards Anastasia was because of

Julie’s instigation.

After Grannie Anita hung up, Katelyn couldn’t help but warn her, “You should stay away from Julie.

She’s not as innocent as she appears. She’s quite cunning.”

Grannie Anita was displeased. “Julie is cunning? Then what about Anastasia? Katelyn, are you blinded

by your prejudices? Can’t you differentiate between a witch and a good-hearted girl? Julie just likes

Herman. How is that cunning? Anastasia has an illegitimate child, and that makes she innocent?”

Katelyn tried to defend herself, “Mom, why do you always bring Ana into everything? These are two

different things. You tell me. Isn’t it because Julie gossips about Ana, stirs up trouble, that you dislike

Ana so much, creating a ruckus at home?”

Grannie Anita retorted, “Julie isn’t wrong. If Anastasia didn’t do those things, who could say anything

bad about her?”
