Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 142

Chapter 142 Both Cedrick and Catelyn darkened at Maia’s words.

Hooker? Paid?

Not only was this an insult to Catelyn, but it was also an insult directed at Cedrick. He had never imagined that he would hear such a word coming out of Maia’s mouth. Catelyn gritted her teeth as she desperately tried to remain calm. “Yes, I do remember the rules of the Clark family. I won’t-”

“Rules? How dare you even mention that word?!” The anger burnt away the last ounce of composure within Maia, and she screamed in frustration, “Your mother ran away with some guy after giving birth to you, so where did you learn the rules again? I heard that you bore a son out of wedlock, so I’m afraid that you’re just like your mom, and any guy would do it for you! How lustful!”

Catelyn finally ran out of guilt and patience. She slowly clenched her fists and stared coldly at Maia. “You have no right to make any comment on my mother. If you suspect that something is going on between me and Cedrick, ask him yourself. Why bother shouting at me?”

“You-”

“I’m telling you right here and now that I’m the designer for Ollie’s mansion, and I will continue to be in contact with your fiance because of that. If you’re that insecure, ask him to fire me, and I’ll stay as far away from him as possible. Stop barking like a madwoman. It’s degrading, considering that you’re the lady of the Clark family.”

Catelyn retorted calmly, without the slightest change in her tone. However, the more composed she seemed, the more provoked Maia was, and she could barely hold onto her elegant-lady charade.

“Did you hear that, Master Cedrick?” Maia took a deep breath and pleaded, “Since she’s said it herself, just fire her.”

Cedrick stared at the viciousness that was exposed from her mask and was disgusted at how hideous Maia seemed.

He lowered his gaze carelessly and said, “Ollie only wants her.”

Maia clenched her fists and retorted, “Ollie is just a child, so how could he tell good from bad? She must’ve bewitched Ollie somehow. Fire her today, and I’ll find ten, a hundred, or even a thousand other designers for your picking!” It was not an issue of who the designer was, but a war between Maia and Catelyn as Maia tested who meant more to Cedrick.

Cedrick remained quiet for a few moments while staring at her twisted expression, before finally pulling his arm away from Maia’s hands. “I can satisfy any other of your requests, but I won’t fire Catelyn Clark.”

Maia’s blood boiled as she doubted her ears. “W-What did you say?”

“I told you: Ollie only wants her.” Cedrick’s dark eyes turned cold as he felt his patience ebbing away. “You’re choosing to protect this woman?” Maia was livid. Cedrick had always been rather cold, but he would usually satisfy her whenever she asked for something.

At this moment, however, he refused to do so when it was related to Catelyn. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“You’re tired. I’ll ask someone to send you home.” Cedrick did not want to spend another moment arguing with Maia and took out his phone to call someone.

Maia stopped him. Tears streamed down her face, but her tone was fierce with determination as she spat, “If you won’t fire her today, our engagement is off!”

There were plenty of aspects involved in the engagement between the Clark family and the Mason family. The two families were entwined, in a way, in their businesses, and one move could affect

everyone.

Maia wanted to see how far Cedrick would take it to protect Catelyn.

Cedrick oozed an intimidating aura as he narrowed his eyes. “Are you threatening me?” “I simply can’t accept that my future husband would abandon me for another woman.” Maia was confident that Cedrick would not break up with her, so she straightened her back and continued, “Me, or her. You only get to choose one.” Cedrick’s expression darkened. “Are you sure that this is the choice you’re giving me?”
