Chapter 356 Family

Scared by old Mrs. Grant’s words, Katherine almost jumped up.

Her eyes almost popped out when looking towards old Mrs. Grant and shuffled, “Old, old Mrs. Grant, I,
well…”

The other family members were not surprised because they already knew old Mrs. Grant’s plan.

Old Mrs. Grant smiled happily, which made it hard for Katherine to refuse.

Katherine thought: Would she be angry if I directly tell her I am unwilling to?

Katherine was in a dilemma and said, “Well, that…”

Old Mrs. Grant laughed, “Then this thing is deal if you don’t have any opinion. Let’s decide who’s going
to take this girl.”

Old Mrs. Grant’s first son said, “I don’t have a daughter. How about letting her be my god daughter?”

Old Mrs. Grant’s third son smiled and argued, “Well, I also don’t have a daughter.”

Katherine didn’t know what they were arguing for. She was simply a poor girl with belongings given by
Marshall after they divorced.

She didn’t believe that the Grant family would want those things.

However, why did they treat her nicely and have an argument for her?

Katherine hurriedly raised up her hand to interrupt, “Well, I have to told you that I don’t have a good
family background and I am personally a girl with lots of flaws…”

Old Mrs. Grant grabbed her hand tightly and replied, “Well, I just like you. Don’t think too much.”



How could Katherine not think too much when old Mrs. Grant was going to be her grandmother?

Without consulting with Katherine, old Mrs. Walters said to her third son, “Then how about letting her
be your god daughter? She’s of similar age with your son and might have common topics together.”

Her third son hurriedly said yes when his wife came forward and said, “Well, I always want a daughter,
but I can’t. I am so happy.”

Katherine didn’t want to say anything. What did she mean?

So now she was forced to have new parents.

She felt so unrealistic for having parents from a wealthy family.

Maria looked young with a smiley face.

She went to pet Katherine’s head and said, “I can tell she has suffered a lot.”

Katherine blinked her eyes and didn’t know how to respond.

If she refused, people from the Walters family would be awkward and considered her as ungrateful.

However, she would feel so strange if she agreed.

Why would they suddenly be a family? She couldn’t accept it.

Old Mrs. Walters hinted the servant and the servant hurriedly brought a box here.

She took the box and turned around to Katherine, saying, “Kathy, this is my first gift as your
grandmother. We’ll be a family from now on.”



Katherine was still in a trance. Finding old Mrs. Grant was going to give her a gift, she hurriedly waved
her eyes and refused, “No, no, no, I can’t take it. The previous gift is already too valuable for me. I…”

Old Mrs. Walters grabbed her hand and said, “Well. This is your grandmother’s gift. Don’t regard
yourself as an outsider. We’re a family now.”

The servant came to open the box and there was a purple bracelet in it. Katherine couldn’t tell what
was its texture.

It must be expensive since it was from old Mrs. Walters.

Old Mrs. Walters took the bracelet and put it on Katherine’s wrist.

Katherine showed a complex feeling when seeing the bracelet on her wrist.

The Grant family tried everything they could to kick her out, while the Walters family tried their best to
take her in. How ironic!

Maria Davies Grant also said, “Take it. It’s your grandmother’s gift. You are part of the Walters family
and don’t have to be so polite with us.”

Katherine pretended to smile but ended up with showing a weird one.

The Walters family ignored it and took her to have dinner.

The Walters family’s dinning room was huge, almost as big as the Grant family. However, the Walters
family had more family members.

Katherine couldn’t recognize many of them and could only sit beside old Mrs. Grant.

She was a bit hungry at first, but now she didn’t have any appetite.



The Walters family were delighted. They asked things about Katherine’s previous life and deliberately
avoided to talk about the Grant family.

Katherine knew people from the Walters family had high emotional intelligence and were cautious
about what they said.

A man was sitting next to her and sneered when Katherine was talking.

Katherine turned around to look at him, but he didn’t look back. His face was carried with disdainful
look.

Katherine looked away, but she knew the man’s sneer was loud enough for the Walters family to hear,
but all of them pretended that nothing happened.

It was really an embarrassed meal for Katherine. She felt so uneasy but couldn’t express it.

At the end of the dinner, she had to go upstairs to chat with old Mrs. Walters.

There were only two of them and they went to old Mrs. Walters’ room.

Katherine’s phone rang after stepping in.

She took a deep breath, quickly took out the phone and answered it in front of old Mrs. Walters.

She didn’t even look at who was calling.

Marshall’s voice came from the other side, “Katherine?”

Katherine was startled and replied, “Marshall?”

She raised her voice so that old Mrs. Walters would notice.



Marshall asked, “Have you finished yet? I am waiting for you in front of your home. Are you still there?”

Katherine replied, “Are you still in front of my house? Okay, wait for me. I will be right back.”

Old Mrs. Walters was startled and asked, “Is it from Marshall?”

Katherine hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, he’s waiting in front of my house and seems to want to talk
about something with me.”

Old Mrs. Walters reached for the phone and said, “Let me talk with him.”

Katherine gave her the phone and heard Mrs. Walters talking to the other side, “Marshall, do you want
to talk about something with Kathy.”

Katherine didn’t know how Marshall responded, but only found old Mrs. Walters was smiling and said,
“Come then. I haven’t seen you for a few days.”

Katherine blinked her eyes and didn’t say anything when compressing her lips.

After a few seconds, old Mrs. Walters said yes and gave the phone back to Katherine, saying, “You can
continue talking with him. He will be right back.”

Katherine sighed in her mind and took the phone, asking, “Are you coming?”

Marshall smiled, “Yes. I know you’re awkward there. You can relax and act more naturally if I am
present.”

However, Katherine was planning to leave by using this call as an excuse.

Marshall’s voice was brisk, “Don’t worry. I will be there quickly.”

Then he hanged off the phone.



Katherine could only continue pretending to show a smile to old Mrs. Walters.

Old Mrs. Walters took an album and started to introduce her with people from the Walters family.

The man who was sitting next to her was Maria’s son, Ralph.

Katherine could analyse from his reaction that he was not satisfied with having an extra sister.

Katherine was also not satisfied. She finally could be free for having no family to care about. However,
there was now a bunch of them.

Marshall finally came after they checked the album for a while.
