Chapter 130 On the other hand, Maia and Cedrick were also observing Edwin. The corner of Maia’s lips curved slightly upward when she saw Edwin and Catelyn leaving. She pretended to be confused and tugged at Cedrick’s shirt as she said, “I had to take a close look to realize that Edwin’s company today is Catelyn.” She tried to read Cedrick’s expression after saying that.
Cedrick was still expressionless, as usual.
No one knew what was on his mind.
Maia then continued, “Do you still remember? We bumped into Catelyn at the restaurant when we had dinner with Ollie the other day. Catelyn used to be very popular at school. She had a long list of ex- boyfriends and was even caught red-handed in bed with someone.”
“I really wish she takes her relationship with Edwin seriously, for once.”
“I am also to blame. When Ezekiel ran into trouble, I should have helped.”
As Maia went on and on about Catelyn’s ugly past, Cedrick’s expression became colder and colder. He did not even bother to hide his contempt anymore.
Maia thought he was loathing Catelyn and was quite satisfied with herself. She was about to continue bad-mouthing her when Cedrick released her hand and said coldly, “You are a little too talkative today.”
“Cedrick…”
Maia panicked. She realized she was the one being loathed.
She wanted to make amends. However, Cedrick went past her and strode to the host of the event.
Maia lifted her gown and tried to follow him, but she could not catch up. . She threw a death stare at Edwin and Catelyn, who were enjoying their finger food at the corner.

She wanted to make Catelyn look bad at the dinner. However, she could not make her attempts too obvious. The last thing she wanted was Cedrick to be suspicious of her and to think that she was singling Catelyn out. What should she do?
Under Edwin’s lead, Catelyn was introduced to a few important people in the designer industry.
These were exactly the network that she needed.
Catelyn kept everyone’s name card feeling satisfied.

She felt hungry and went to the corner for food again. Edwin was by her side throughout. He watched as she went to the aisle without caring too much and thought she looked adorable. Somehow, she reminded him of someone familiar. The corner of his lips curved upward subconsciously, and his eyes looked soft and gentle. Then, he saw Cedrick approaching with a glass of red wine in his hand. He sat across from Edwin, with some distance in between.
Catelyn came by and sat in between the two men. There was an indescribable tension in the air. Catelyn swallowed a mouthful of cake that she had just shoved in her mouth. Her throat was dry, and so she accidentally choked on it. She saw a glass of wine on the table and gobbled it down without hesitation.
Both the cake and wine went down her stomach. Catelyn then licked her lips in satisfaction.
Cedrick watched as she did it. Once again, no one was sure what was on his mind. Catelyn was confused.
Why did he look at her like that? Was there something on her face? Was her hair messy? Cedrick was still the same old him, casually placing his left foot on his right knee and sizing her up with his dark eyes
silently. Catelyn was uneasy about being stared at and could not help but ask, “Cedrick, is there something on my face?” Cedrick used his slender finger to point at the wine glass in her hand and said lazily, “That was my cup of wine.”
