Our Billion-Worth Twins Chapter 292
Cedrick finished his soup and went to stay in the mansion's study by habit. He had left the office early, after all, and there was unfinished work that needed to be done.By the time he completed all the tasks, it was already half past two in the morning.He pinched the bridge of his nose and felt a thin layer of sweat on his skin, so he reached out for a tissue paper and wiped his face, only to see a flash of red.Cedrick's composed feature froze. Where did this red smudge come from?He thought back to the odd expressions on Albert and the servants' faces and hurried to the bathroom. He kicked the door open and stared at his reflection in the mirror to find a face painted red as though his face was a whiteboard meant for children.The faint citrus scent he smelt was indeed from Catelyn's lipstick when he foolishly thought that it was merely her scent lingering on him.His expression darkened maliciously.'Darn that Catelyn Clark!' he growled internally. 'She dared to draw on my

It was the day for the Chandier Jewelry contest's final round.Catelyn had heard that the initial rule of the contest dictated that the higher management, including Lola, was to collect the drafts before submitting them to Granny Atherton to ensure fairness when the winner was chosen. However, she had a change of heart and amended the rules as she wanted to appear in the contest herself.All the contestants were divided into three groups to go up to the stage to explain the concept behind their designs. Granny Atherton and the other judges were to mark the design on the spot until they eventually settled on a winner.The fact that Lola was no longer involved in the process was good news to Catelyn as she would not have to worry about Lola trying to screw her chances.Catelyn happened to be in the group that was scheduled in the morning. She had to head out earlier and had skipped breakfast, deciding that she would simply pick up food from stalls by the road.She went downstairs an

Cedrick's features tensed further as Catelyn spoke, and he pursed his lips.Seeing that he did not respond, Catelyn turned to look at him and sincerely added, "There's an old saying that says children and women are the hardest to please. You're not a woman nor a child, so can't you just forgive me? Maybe I can give you my lipstick and you can draw on my face as well.""..." The silence in the air remained.Catelyn hated the silence treatment more than anything and began to develop an urge to stop the car by grabbing the steering wheel.Screech!He stepped onto the brake abruptly, followed by the piercing noise of the tires, and Catelyn came close to jerking forward again.Wordlessly, Cedrick unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.Catelyn was not sure what he was doing at first until she glanced in the direction he was heading toward. The car was stopped before the door of a known restaurant, and Cedrick had gone inside to buy breakfast.It was likely that Cedrick had in

Catelyn leaned back against her seat innocently and batted her eyes at Cedrick. "Taste good?"Cedrick's eyes gleamed as though he tried to refrain from certain urges. After a while, he gritted out, "I'll make you pay tonight!""..." Catelyn sensed that she had provoked something other than anger within him. All things aside, she realized that she had finally appeased his anger.She had to put out the fire that her son had lit. The life of a mother was hard....There was already a crowd in the meeting hall owned by Chandier Jewelry by the time Catelyn arrived.Every contestant was assigned a number, and Catelyn was assigned number 17.She waited patiently below the stage and occasionally chatted with the other contestants sitting next to her.Because the waiting time was longer than expected, Chandier Jewelry had prepared bottles of water for all the contestants.A young woman with long hair walked around, handing bottles of water to everyone. When it was Catelyn's turn, she t

Inside the meeting hall capable of housing hundreds of people, the contestants for Chandier Jewelry's contest went up the stage to describe their designs while the judges sat on the front row. Among the judges sat an old woman in her seventies, and she sported a pair of large spectacles with black frames.She occasionally lowered her head to intently stare at the submitted drafts while she listened to the presentations, only to grow more and more disappointed.She did not particularly enjoy the hassle, but she had created Chandier Jewelry in the memory of her daughter.Summer used to study jewelry design, and her biggest dream was to become one of the most renowned jewelry designers. It was a shame that she eventually gave up her dream for the sake of a man.As Granny Atherton grew older, she began dreaming more often of the events in the past 20 years ago.Had she not been so stubborn, Summer might still be with her. She could not help but wonder where Summer had been in the past

As for the draft that Catelyn had submitted, it was cast aside before Granny Atherton could even see it—not that she had the mood to view it, regardless.Lola sneered smugly. 'You dare stand against me, Catelyn? Try again in your next life!'Lola had put in a lot of effort and purposefully arranged the contestants with poorer designs ahead of Catelyn so their presentation time on stage would be minimized, making sure that Catelyn would not make it back in time....Catelyn was stuck in the bathroom.She had thought that she simply had food poisoning and would soon recover after taking some rest, but the reality had proved her wrong.She had stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour, and she had asked for the staff's help to purchase extremely strong antidiarrheal. Eventually, her diarrhea finally subsided.By the time she came out of the bathroom, she was as pale as a ghost. Her lips were numb, and she felt like she would lose consciousness at any moment.Keeping her hand on th

In the corridor outside the Chandier Jewelry’s meeting hall, Catelyn sat on a bench with her back pressed against the wall. Her consciousness was drifting, while her entire body felt like it was swaying. Her head dropped slightly from time to time, only for her to be woken by the motion.The process repeated multiple times, and just when she thought she was reaching her limit, she heard the door to the meeting hall opening, followed by sounds of people talking. She stood abruptly, before falling back onto the bench helplessly.By the time she managed to stand upright again, Lola had led Granny Atherton outside.Catelyn ran after them.Lola spotted Catelyn from the corner of her eye and felt pleased by how miserable she visibly looked. 'This is what you get for crossing me!'She carefully supported Granny Atherton as she ordered the bodyguards, "There are too many people here. Stop any unidentified persons from coming to us; don't let them get in Old Madam's way.""Understood!" Th

Catelyn noticed that the car Granny Atherton was in slowed down. Assuming that the driver had stopped, she moved to run toward the car.Much to her bewilderment, the engine roared again as the car seemingly drove toward her.There was a layer of tinted frame on the window of the Bently, so she could not see into the car, but she could sense an icy, viscous stare directed at her, almost like the way a hunter would stare at his dying prey.It had to be Lola.The driver had not expected Catelyn to stand her ground in the middle of the road, even when he sped up. His hands started shaking, and a thin layer of sweat gathered on his forehead as the car got closer to Catelyn.Catelyn froze in place, unable to move as her feet felt extremely heavy.'Lola had the gall to run over me with Old Madam Atherton by her side? Or is this Old Madam Atherton's command?' she thought as her heart sank into her stomach.Screech!The driver steered the steering wheel.Just as the car was about to ra
