Chapter 141


    Chapter 141  Thank you.”


    Cedrick eyed Catelyn’s dress coldly. His expression darkened when he was once again reminded that


    she came with Edwin, so he tightened his grip around her wrist and said, “Since when have you


    spellbound Edwin?”


    Catelyn scowled in pain due to Cedrick’s grip. Try as she did, she failed to break free from their tug of


    war and, instead, ended up even closer to one another.


    “Mister Atherton needed a plus-one, and I happened to have an invitation to this event. We’re not what


    you think we are.” “What I ‘think’, huh?” Cedrick gritted out. “And what is it that I’m thinking?”


    Catelyn was slightly frustrated at not being able to escape his grip, but the more she panicked, the more


    she tried to actposed. She extended her hand and brushed her finger past Cedrick’s jawline


    carelessly, saying, “Master Cedrick, if you continue to be so restless with seeing me by Mister Atherton’s


    side, I might get the wrong idea.” “What idea is that?” Catelyn chuckled silently as she purposely tried to


    flirt, “That you’re in love with me and got jealous.”


    Cedrick’s pupils contracted as his heart throbbed. “Howughable!” he scoffed, raising his voice.


    “You think that’s ridiculous, too, don’t you? So can you just let go of me now?” Catelyn lifted an eyebrow.

    The look in Cedrick’s eyes darkened, but just as he was about to let go…


    “What are you two doing?” the sharp voice of a woman came from behind them. The piercing voice


    broke the awkwardness between the two, and Catelyn turned to find Maia hurrying toward them in her


    heels. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she stared daggers at both Cedrick and Catelyn.


    ‘Catelyn is with Cedrick again,’hissed Maia inwardly. ‘Maybe he decided to exchange partners with Edwin


    not because he wanted to dance with me, but because he wanted to dance to Catelyn. Ugh! How can I


    be so clueless? It’s no wonder that Cedrick suddenly started looking into what happened four years


    ago… He must’ve started doubting it all! Though furious, Maia tried her best to look as upset and


    innocent as possible. “Master Cedrick, we’ve been engaged for four years now. I am your fiancee, you


    know, so how can you and Catelyn…” She paused, her eyes reddening and her face growing pale. “How


    can you do this to me?”


    Cedrick scowled as his brows twitched, but he tried to soften his tone and exined, “It’s not what you


    think.”


    “You’ve got it all wrong, Miss rk,” Catelyn tried to exin. “I happened to have tripped,


    and Master Cedrick here simply gave me a hand. I’m sorry to cause such a misunderstanding. I’ll leave


    now.”


    “Tripped? Does she think I’m blind?!’ Maia sneered. She had never realized how consuming jealousy


    was, and at that moment, she desperately longed to tear Catelyn apart. “Catelyn, don’t forget that he’s


    supposed to be your cousin-inw!” Catelyn nced at Cedrick and knew Maia was right. “I haven’t


    forgotten.” “I couldn’t help you when you were alone on the streets, and I’ve always felt guilty about that.


    Now that Cedrick and I are about to get married, him taking care of you sort of fills the gap of my regret,


    but since you’re with Mister Atherton now, it’s best you stay loyal to him.” Every word Maia said was like


    daggers that stabbed Catelyn’s heart as she felt insulted. However, she knew that she was at fault for


    what happened with Cedrick back in the hotel, so she did not retort. “I’ll remember that, cousin. Thank


    you for your kind words.” Maia did not expect Catelyn to be this thick-skinned and shouted in a sharp


    voice, “Since you’re aware that I am your cousin, I’d like to remind you that all women of the rk family


    are raised to be virtuous and chaste. You cane to me if you need money. “After all, even a hooker


    needs to be paid, but don’t even dream of being the other woman! There’s a price for that.”
