Chapter 320:
Leaning back, Kristopher’s gaze fell on the steaming teacups before flicking up to meet Anthony's eyes.
“Grandpa, I'm here to ask you to withdraw your order and stop the online attacks against Cathy.”
As soon as Cathy processed Kristopher’s words, her eyes widened in shock.
She had initially suspected that the intetrolls were orchestrated by Belinda or her friend Madisyn. But she
hadn’t expected the mastermind to be Kristopher’s grandfather!
Yet, upon reflection, it did make sense. After all, Belinda had a knack for charming the elders.
With this realization, Cathy adopted a sorrowful expression and said, “So, Anthony, it was you who hired those
trolls...”
She looked up at Anthony, tears brimming in her eyes, her voice wavering as she continued, “Anthony, |
understand you don’t approve ofand don’t wantto be with Kristopher, but... was it necessary to go this
far? I'm an actress. Public perception is critical to my career. You've not only jeopardized my future but also that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtof my agent, my assistant, and the hard work of many others...”
Seeing her tears, Jessa quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, comforting her. “Don’t cry, Cathy. Mr. Cox
probably didn’t realize the full extent of the damage he was causing.”
As she spoke, she cast a significant glance at Belinda and added, “I think he was misled. Don’t hold it against
him.”
With tears streaming down her cheeks, Cathy nodded. “How could | ever accuse Anthony? He's the kindest man |
know. It feels like he’s been bewitched...”
Beside Anthony, Belinda observed Cathy and Jessa through a mocking veil of indifference, her smirk hidden
behind a mask.
By the tthose accusations hit the internet, she was already battered.

Before Marc had reached out, she wasn't even sure if Anthony was responsible.
Yet, in just a few sentences, Jessa and Cathy could effortlessly shift all the blonto her, painting her as the
villain. She could never measure up to them.
“Bewitched? What do you mean?” Anthony scoffed. “I orchestrated everything. It's my doing. Don’t drag Belinda
into this; she kept out of it.”
Sometimes, he wished Belinda would confide in him and urge him to defend her.
But she remained silent.
Had Allen not visited him that morning to show him the overnight news, he would have remained oblivious.
Cathy's eyes flickered with sly satisfaction upon hearing this.
She reached for a tissue, feigning to dab at her eyes while concealing her cunning gaze. With a sob, she
protested, “Anthony, | never implied Miss Nelson had cast a spell on you... Why bring her up?”
“Exactly,” Jessa quickly chimed in. “Mr. Cox, Cathy only suggested that someone was manipulating you, but you
brought up Miss Nelson... Did she talk to you about this? Did she tell you to accuse her?”
Anthony's frustration flared up. “Are you suggesting that Belinda is orchestrating all this? | was actually
defending her! Are you trying to useto tarnish her reputation?”
