Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Maia thought it was Cedrick, returning to her. She looked up in surprise, only to see Richard before him. The light in her eyes faded and was replaced by disappointment.

“Why are you here?” “Maia, I… I heard everything.” Richard wiped away her tears endearingly like she was the most precious person to him. “Cedrick doesn’t even know how to appreciate you, so why should you love him? I love you, and I’ll marry you once you end your engagement!”

“Go away!” Maia clenched onto the fabric on her chest and snapped, “I want Cedrick. I want the position of Missus Mason. Who do you think you are?”

She tried to shove Richard away, but he grabbed onto her hand when he caught a whiff of her scent and planted a kiss on the back of her hand. “I’ll do anything for you. As long as you’re willing to let me, I’ll do whatever you want me to!”

“Don’t touch me. Go away!” Frustrated, Maia tried to shove him away, but Richard’s kiss landed on her face and dried her tears.

Her struggle weakened as she started feeling dazed. She had not been touched by a man ever since she started dating Cedrick four years ago.

Catelyn adjusted her hair and dress before returning to the event hall, but she could not seem to regain her composure after what happened. She wondered what Cedrick and Maia were talking about, and whether they would carry on with their engagement. Had she truly become a homewrecker who destroyed their relationship? “Where have you gone, Kitty?” Edwin walked toward her with a mysterious smile and a glass of wine at hand.

Catelyn took a deep breath and pretended that nothing had happened. “The moon came up and it looked really pretty, so I went to the balcony to stare at it for a while.”

“With Ced, you mean?” Edwin asked, apparently knowing what had happened.

Her fingers stiffened around her glass, but the look of her eyes remained calm. “Please spare me your jokes, Mister Atherton.”

Just then, a figure swiftly approached them, and before Catelyn could react, Lori had slapped her across the face.

“You b*tch!”

Catelyn did not have the chance to set her wine down. She stumbled backward at the impact and came close to bumping into the tower of glasses. The wine spilled and tinted her dress as a distinct palm print appeared on her face.

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

Cedrick happened to witness the scene when he walked past the corridor, and a storm instantly began raging in his dark eyes.

Catelyn’s expression darkened at the numbing sensation on her face. “Are you out of your mind, Missus Mason?” she questioned sharply. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Me, out of my mind?” Lori’s face flushed with anger. With a vicious expression, she cursed in frustration without any regard for the circumstances, “Catelyn Clark, don’t think that I don’t know that it was who locked me inside the bathroom! You’re nothing but a sl*t who tried to get together with my son. You resent me for stopping you, and you tried to take revenge!” “I think Catelyn was, indeed, engaged to Jamie before.”
