Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 74

Catelyn could not resist and muttered, “Master Cedrick, you’re lucky to have a good bodyguard like Eason. You should show him some respect and be nice.”

Cedrick came closer and lifted her chin using the tip of his fingers. He secretly exerted a little more force than necessary. Her pale skin turned slightly pink where he pinched.

“Since when did i ‘disrespect’ him?”

Catelyn could feel his breath down her neck. She found it awkward to be holding his gaze and wanted to push him away, but he was still holding her chin, so she was rather vulnerable.

“I just think that Eason was quite a responsible person. You should not be so rude, or you will lose his loyalty.”

Cedrick moved his fingers from the tip of her chin to caress the corner of her lips and said in a deep voice, “So, I should thank you for your advice?”

“I…” Catelyn felt she was in danger. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a few suspicious men standing by the door and suddenly pushed Cedrick away. “Who’s there!” Cedrick turned and saw the people at the door too. The men looked guilty when they saw Cedrick, and all bowed to greet him.

Cedrick waved his hand for them to come in.

The man in the lead was a middle-aged, slightly plump man. He wore a blue suit and was balding on top.

He bowed to Cedrick as soon as he came in and smiled like a friendly, harmless middle-aged man.

“Master… Master Cedrick, it was my mistake. I did not know that Ms. Catelyn was one of your people. I have fired whoever was involved. They had been bribed to frame Miss Catelyn. I hope you do not

mind…”

“Mr. Denson, it looks like you are not that good at disciplining your people,” Cedrick took one look at him and said nonchalantly.

Catelyn then realized this plump middle-aged man was in fact Simon and Warren’s superior!

Beads of sweat dripped from Mr. Denson’s forehead, and his legs were shaking.

“I will definitely be stricter with my people. From now on, if you have any orders, I will prioritize them and fulfill them for you. Feel free to ask…”.

“It was not me that your people hurt. Why are you apologizing to me?” Cedrick asked rhetorically. His voice was soft, his tone indifferent, but his aura was so strong that it was intimidating. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Mr. Denson quickly turned to Catelyn, bowed to her respectfully, and apologized, “Ms. Catelyn, please forgive me for not disciplining my subordinates well. I am at fault…” Catelyn saw Mr. Denson panicking. He even had a bruise on his forehead, seemingly from knocking on something like a door frame.

A man who was superior was now being all humbled in front of her.

Catelyn was not arrogant. “I know it was not your fault. I forgive you.”

Her wrist was suddenly pinched by Cedrick, and she turned to look at him in pain. Cedrick looked at Mr. Denson again, still indifferent. “Who is behind this?”

“…I have looked into it. It was Lola Atherton. She wanted to know from you who rescued her that night at the Barricade Club…”

Catelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and she tried to observe Cedrick’s expressions too.

Cedrick was still expressionless. “Why does she want to know?”

“I am not sure about this. It looks like she had a crush on that man.”

The room fell silent again. Cedrick held his gaze on Joe Denson. Mr. Denson could feel his own heartbeat pounding in his chest like a drum and his back subconsciously hunched further down.
