Chapter 295


    Chapter 295 Catelyn leaned back against her seat innocently and batted her eyes at Cedrick. “Taste


    good?” Cedrick’s eyes gleamed as though he tried to refrain from certain urges. After a while, he gritted


    out, “I’ll make you pay tonight!” “…” Catelyn sensed that she had provoked something other than anger


    within him. All things aside, she realized that she had finally appeased his anger.


    She had to put out the fire that her son had lit. The life of a mother was hard.


    There was already a crowd in the meeting hall owned by Chandier Jewelry by the time Catelyn arrived.


    Every contestant was assigned a number, and Catelyn was assigned number 17.


    She waited patiently below the stage and asionally chatted with the other contestants sitting next to


    her. Because the waiting time was longer than expected, Chandier Jewelry had prepared bottles of water


    for all the contestants.


    A young woman with long hair walked around, handing bottles of water to everyone. When it was


    Catelyn’s turn, she thanked the woman immediately.


    She did not like the coffee Cedrick bought in the morning, so the bottle of water came just in time to ease


    her thirst.

    Time ticked by and the twelfth candidate was called.


    Catelyn suddenly felt a stomachache stirring. She had been trying to hold it in, but as time went by, her


    stomach hurt to the point that beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Her stomach even began


    rumbling, and she could no longer stand it.


    After apologizing to the girl sitting next to her, Catelyn walked past her and went straight to the bathroom.


    Catelyn had not expected to have diarrhea at such an important time when she had not had any


    unhygienic foodtely.


    She sat on the toilet with a hand cradled on her abdomen in pain.


    She sank into thoughts as she tried to figure out what had happened to her, until she started questioning


    whether it was caused by the pancakes Cedrick bought her.


    Remembering Cedrick’s tendency of taking revenge on people who crossed him, she shuddered at the


    possibility that he might have done it.


    However, Cedrick also knew that today was the final contest and would not actually submit her to such a


    horrible prank.


    She wrote a message and sent it to Cedrick.


    At that moment, Cedrick was attending a meeting with the upper management of Mason Group as there


    was a recent project for Sapphire City Center. It was the main focus for Mason Group for theter half of


    the year and they were determined to gain control over it.


    Just as a heated discussion took ce, Cedrick’s private phone rang. He frowned and was about to turn


    his phone off when he noticed that the message was from Catelyn. [Do you have a stomachache?]


    Cedrick stared at the screen and tapped on it swiftly to reply. (No. Do you?]


    Catelyn saw his reply, and for some reason, she was willing to believe him as she did not think of him as


    someone who would not dare to admit to what he did.


    She had reached the conclusion that she had identally consumed something that caused the


    stomachache. (Catelyn: A bit, but I’m fine. I won’t take you away from your work now.] Catelyn quickly


    silenced her phone afterward.


    After spending some more time on the toilet, she stumbled outside and nced at her own reflection in


    the bathroom mirror, only to find her face and lips pale to the point that they looked transparent. She had


    to present her designter on stage, and she could not show up looking this way!
