    Chapter 182


    “We will keep in touch because of some reasons at work. However, we are not considered close to each


    other.”


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “You don’t need to be humble. I’ve heard it all. For your sake, Ceddy even ignored the four year


    rtionship with Mai.”


    Janice still had that indifferent and calm expression. There was no contempt in her tone.


    Catelyn was well aware of the warning in her words. She stared at Janice with intense sincerity, and a


    sense of stubbornness filled her eyes.


    She was not the kind of person Janice thought her to be! “I feel deeply sorry that the engagement


    between Master Cedrick and Ms. rk was terminated, but I’m only an employee to Master Cedrick.”


    “Alright, stop with those high-sounding words trying to fool people. Although I’m not wise, I’m a


    generation older than you. I’ve seen many young girls trying to rely on men to gain glory and fame with


    ease. I’ve never stopped these girls who want to get close to Ceddy. After all, it’s always the girls who


    suffer from such things.”


    Janice spoke lightly. Since she had always been pale, her voice was not loud as well. When the wind


    blew, it seemed as if her voice was carried away by the wind altogether.


    However, Catelyn could hear her words clearly, and each word hit her heart heavily. Janice coughed


    lightly and continued slowly, “There is never a shortcut to gain glory and fame in this world. How can you


    expect others to respect you if you don’t respect yourself?”


    “Ms. rk, I have a few words of advice. It’s of great importance to marry within your own ss. If you


    have gotten enough money, you should stop to save yourself from greater humiliation. By that time, it’s


    you who will be embarrassed.”


    Catelyn obviously felt that her whole body was icy cold.


    Out of the corner of her eyes, she could not miss Maia’s provocative smug look.


    Maia secretly chuckled, admiring how embarrassed Catelyn was.


    Janice weighed a lot in Cedrick’s heart, and she knew that Catelyn was no match for her.


    Moreover, those words had already degraded Catelyn to the lowest. Each and every word was spoken


    lightly, but it was like an invisiblesh that chastised the feisty, gold-digging girls!


    Maia waited to see how Catelyn would pull an excuse… Catelyn had nothing to exin as well. After all,


    she had benefited from Cedrick greatly. As Cedrick’s elder, Janice certainly had reason to suspect that


    the girl who approached him had impure intentions. The slender eyshes trembled slightly as Catelyn


    felt the urge to flee the scene. However, Cedrick suddenly spoke up and stopped Catelyn’s movements.


    He said, “Aunt Janice, she is not my ything.”


    His voice was powerful and prative. In the entire private room, there was only silence for a moment


    Catelyn was shocked, and she had an expression of disbelief. She stared nkly at Cedrick, suspecting


    if she had been hallucinating. However, Cedrick seemed to want to prove something. He walked to


    Catelyn’s side and stood by her. Then, with his rough and big palm, he grasped her small hand,


    squeezing it lightly, and sped her fingers. He held her hand up.


    It was as if he was deliberately showing it to Janice. He even waved it gently. In mid-air, there were two


    hands, one big and another small. The colors of the backs of the hands were different. The tanned one


    was intertwined with the fair, and theyplemented each other.


    He looked into Janice’s eyes unwaveringly, and his eyes were not the usual peace and calm. He


    solemnly emphasized, “The marriage arrangement between the Mason family and the rk family must


    be canceled. If it can not be canceled, then the bride will just have to be reced. Anyway, the name is


    only a word difference.” Janice looked at the hands that were held together, and she felt an uneasy


    dazzle. “Can…you repeat that?”


    Cedrick’s thin lips pursed lightly. Cedrick’s maternal grandfather’s family, the Coleman family, was also


    considered a well-off one.


    His mother, Daphne Coleman, set foot in the entertainment industry by ident. Later, she met his


    father, and the two fell in love.


    However, twenty or thirty years ago, the Mason family considered themselves a wealthy family and could


    not ept an actress marrying into the family. Therefore, Daphne never had a dignified registration in


    the Mason family tree. Later, Daphne was pregnant, and she had a difficultbor during childbirth.
