But before Katelyn could reply, Carol said, “And who are you exactly? It’s not your place to tell my guest to avoid awkward situations.”
Carol’s defense for Katelyn caught everyone off guard. They suddenly recalled that Carol had publicly said that Katelyn was still a granddaughter to her even if Katelyn had divorced her grandson. How could they have forgotten that?
Katelyn’s lips curled into a gentle smile, a feeling of warmth spreading in her heart. Although Neil was not kind to her, Carol consistently stood up for her, regardless of the situation.
Paloma was startled, regretting her impulsive decision. How could she have forgotten something so important? The words she had planned to use to humiliate Katelyn now choked her, leaving her feeling quite uncomfortable.
Aimee’s mood brightened immediately. She enjoyed watching these short-sighted fools.
Carol took Katelyn’s hand tenderly.
“Come, my dear, let’s take that photo together.”
Today was Neil’s wedding, and nearly all of Granville’s elite were in attendance, accompanied by a large number of media reporters. At that moment, camera flashes captured Katelyn and Carol standing before the rose wall, non-stop.
Born into a prestigious family, Carol still radiated a commanding presence despite her age. Together with Katelyn, they truly resembled a grandmother and her granddaughter.
Several reporters came forward, microphones in hand, asking Carol, “Even though Katelyn is still like a granddaughter to you, she is Neil’s ex-wife. Doesn’t her presence at his wedding create an awkward situation?”
Other journalists quickly followed, saying, “And what about the future granddaughter-in-law? Doesn’t this make Lise uncomfortable?”
One probing question after another was launched at them. Katelyn’s expression showed a slight frown.

But Carol coldly answered, “I’m bringing my granddaughter to my grandson’s wedding. What does that have to do with them? If they’re upset by it, they don’t have the elegance required to be part of the Wheeler family. No more questions.” She offered no patience to the reporters.
The journalists looked at each other, hesitant to continue, aware that they were at a Wheeler family function.
After the photograph was taken, Carol guided Katelyn away. Katelyn’s lips gently curved up again, feeling a reassuring sense of protection. She assisted Carol to a nearby table.
Carol grinned at Katelyn and said, “Go have some fun. I’ll be fine here by myself.”
Remembering that Vincent had something to show her, Katelyn didn’t hesitate and gently said, “Call me if you need anything.”
Carol chuckled and waved her off.
