Chapter 154


    Chapter 154


    Edwin and L were both from the Atherton family. Even though they were remotely rted, L had to


    address Edwin as her cousin.


    L did not have the chance to call him her cousin before this day. However, Granny Atherton became


    very fond of her and brought her into her inner circle. L was also capable enough to have mingled well


    with the rest of the family and thus could finally address Edwin as her cousin.


    “A room?” Edwin almost choked on his wine. His expression changed. “You shouldn’t make up stories,


    L.” “No, I’m not, honest! If you don’t believe me, you can go upstairs and check.”


    Even though L was saying this to Edwin, she would nce at Cedrick from the corner of her eye,


    wanting to see how he would react. She wanted to see if Cedrick could still be loyal to her, even when


    confronted with her promiscuous actions. Cedrick’s pupils constricted upon hearing L’s words.


    “Where is she?” His tone was dark with a hint of disdain.


    L told him the room number.


    Cedrick’s eyes darkened with bloodlust. He ced the wine ss back in the tray and made his way


    upstairs, much to L’s satisfaction.


    Oh, how riveting it would be to see Cedrick gaping at Catelyn with three men on the bed. He would


    loathe her beyond relief!


    “You seemed to be very happy to see Catelyn in a room with other men, L,” Edwin pointed out.


    L quickly quelled her smile at the sudden remark and pretended to be shy,


    “I was just thinking…if only Cedrick could see me.” Edwin smirked and said coldly, “You don’t deserve


    him.” “Well, if I don’t, does Catelyn?” L clenched her fists. “At least I’m clean, and I haven’t given birth


    to someone else’s child!” Then, she smiled and said, “Ah, yes! I even heard that Queenie prepared a big


    present for Catelyn! Cousin, would you like to know what it is?”


    Hearing this, Edwin’s nonchnt demeanor vanished in a second, reced by stern ferocity, intimidating


    like Cedrick usually was. “If you got a death wish, I won’t mind kicking you out of the family on my own.”


    Upstairs, Cedrick strode across the corridor to the room that L mentioned. His lips were pursed into a


    straight line, and the atmosphere was scornful.

    “Ahh!” He heard a woman’s shriek the second he stepped out of the elevator, and his heart sank when


    he realized this.


    It was Catelyn.


    What happened to her? He started running. The Catelyn he knew would never sleep with other men in a


    hotel! Something must have happened! He cursed under his breath. Could Catelyn not sit still and stay


    out of trouble?


    Numerous images shed before his eyes. He finally reached the room. He instantly kicked at the door,


    which was flung open by his might. Bang! The door fell to the floor, much to everyone’s shock. When


    Cedrick saw what was happening in the room, his bloodlust surfaced, and his face was dark like a


    demon from hell.


    On the first floor, in the ballroom.


    The function was reaching its climax, and handling the final agenda was James’s speech. He stood in


    the middle of the stage in front of the microphone and said, “It was a pleasure to have everyone here


    today, to discuss the development of Sapphire City. I have prepared a short video for everyone, and


    hope everyone will enjoy it!”
