Chapter 139 Overwhelmed

Catherine emerged from the office, disheartened and overwhelmed with distress.

A sudden realization struck, prompting her to swiftly dial her studio’s number.

The imperative was clear, requiring prompt deletion of the post.

Any further exposure could spell her downfall.

Yet mere removal wouldn’t be enough. To thwart her imminent predicament, the optimal strategy was to safeguard her university enrollment. As long as she retained her student status, the precarious “rumors” would likely crumble on their own

Renee received a call from Naomi, inviting her to come home for her birthday celebration.

Apparently, the Hudsons wanted to celebrate her birthday for the first time since she started working for them.

Even though Nana’s birthday was the following week, they planned to celebrate a few days in advance.

“Marcelo, I think I should go to the Hudson’s house today for Nana’s birthday.She really wants me to come. Would you like to accompany me?“Renee inquired of Marcelo.

“I have something to do today, “Marcelo declined, directing Chad to arrange a birthday gift for Naomi in his stead.

If his physical presence was unattainable, his gift would convey his regards.

Renee, anticipating his busy schedule, wasn’t taken aback, though a hint of disappointment lingered.

“Nana had expressed a desire to meet you,” she sighed.

Naomi had subtly implied her curiosity about Renee’s choice of a life partner since she kept praising him the last time they met. “Perhaps another occasion, “Marcelo replied, citing a prior commitment to fetch Vivian from the airport.

Moreover, his sentiments toward Naomi of the Hudson family were rather indifferent.

As Renee was on the verge of nodding, Marcelo’s hand descended upon her head, tenderly tousling her hair.

“What’s this for?“Renee asked, confused.

“Ensure they don’t mistreat you over at the Hudson residence.”

Renee harbored no expectation of mistreatment. “I’d just wish Nana a happy birthday; I don’t intend to engage much with the others or stay long.”

Her strategy was to disregard Rocco, Grace, and Catherine, treating their words as fleeting gusts of wind.

Renee was pleasantly surprised as both Rocco and Grace treated her warmly during the visit. They even purchased a birthday cake for Naomi.

Acting in the role of a responsible father, Rocco inquired about Renee’s work and life.

His equanimity persisted despite Marcelo’s absence, knowing that Marcelo’s gift had been duly delivered.

Prior to dinner, Renee sang a birthday song for Naomi.

‘Nana, you haven’t made a wish,” Renee gently reminded Naomi, who had already blew out the birthu.., andles.

“No worries!“Naomi smiled and said, “Renee, come over; I have something to discuss with you.” Guiding Renee, Naomi took her to the room.

On this occasion, she wasn’t in a storage room; instead, she occuped a standard guest room on the ground floor. “Renee, I observed Marcelo isn’t with you today. Is something wrong?” Naomi hadn’t spotted anyone with Renee.

“No need to worry, Nana. He was occupied today. I’ll introduce him to you next time.”

Naomi discreetly let out a sigh of relief.

Recalling the previous call to Rence, where Marcelo had picked up, Naomi wanted to avoid dealing with the pressure from that young man’again.

“Renee,there’s something I’d like your assistance with,“Naomi requested.

Rence smiled, gripping Naomi’s elderly hand. “Nana, today is all about you. Just let me know what you want; there is no need for formality.”

“Your sister has run into some issues at school. Knowing you’re an honorary alumna of the University with good connections, could you lend her a hand?”

“What happened to her?”

Renee took a moment to register that the “sister” Naomi mentioned was Catherine.

“I’m not entirely sure. The school wants her to leave.” Naomi sighed with concern. “She’s still so young, dropping out seems too harsh.”

Ellie replied, “Hold on,Nana. I’ll investigate and get the details.”

Renee checked the university forum but found no details about Catherine.

Consequently, she reached out to Howard for information.

Howard promptly responded on W******p,

“Catherine copied her major assignment, failed the final exam, bribed the activity coordinator, and there were admission problems. There was initially a post about it on the forum, but it was deleted by her studio’s contact at the university.”

Howard then asked, “Renee, why do you inquire about this? Is the Hudson family pressuring you to conceal Catherine’s actions?

Renee was surprised.

How did Howard find out about her connection with Catherine?

But now wasn’t the time for inquiries. She replied with gratitude and set her phone aside.

Renee clarified, “Nana, the problems Demi caused are significant. I’m only a graduate; I can’t impact the university’s policies.”

“Renee, you haven’t given it a shot. How can you be certain it won’t work? You just don’t want to help me!“Catherine burst into the room, pointing at Renee with an accusation. “Did you create that forum thread? It must be you. No one else wishes to witness my failure!”

“So, you’re here. “Renee rose from beside Naomi’s bed, casting a cold gaze at Catherine. “Since you were here, why didn’t you join me when I was singing the birthday song for Nana?”

Upon entering, Renee spotted Catherine’s bag and coat on the coat rack.

Catherine remained silent, merely locking eyes with Naomi.

“Renee,please lend a hand to Catherine just this once, for the sake of me!” Naomi implored, gripping.

e’s hand, “If

Catherine gets expelled, she’ll become a laughingstock. Today is my birthday, and fulfilling this wish is my birthday request. You won’t disappoint me, will you?”

Renee gazed at Naomi with disbellet,

A sudden realization dawned on her that Naomi now seemed like stranger.

She questioned why Naomi had an early birthday celebration. It appeared the birthday was merely a pretext, with the true motive being to enlist her assistance for Catherine.
