Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel 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 act composed. 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. “How laughable!” 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.

“You’ve got it all wrong, Miss Clark,” Catelyn tried to explain. “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-in-law!” Catelyn glanced 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 Clark family are raised to be virtuous and chaste. You can come 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.”
