Catelyn listened to the both of them insulting her, responding to each other in such seamless synchrony, her face spasming. She was planning to ignore them, but they were too excited, and she felt that she had to say something. "My taste might not be the most outstanding, but I am much better than the gold diggers. By the way, I forgot to ask you, did you delete all the videos with Ivan online?"Amy choked and immediately looked dangerous.She walked in front of Catelyn and hunched slightly, lowering her mouth to Catelyn's ear. "Don't you be too condescending about it. Even if the videos have all been exposed, the company will protect Uncle Ivan and me. Once this issue passes, the director and Uncle Ivan will not let you get away with it!""Are you done?" Catelyn looked at her lazily. "I will go to the bathroom. You take your time."She took out the tourmaline and placed it back in the tray. She saw the sales associate's judging expression, but she would not buy it even if
The manager was an Amarican too. When he saw Catelyn, he was slightly surprised. "Manager, this lady right here is suspected of having stolen something from our store but refuses to hand her bag over for an examination," the sales associate complained.Amy was happily onlooking, waiting for the drama."Did you just say she stole something?" The manager looked at Catelyn in disbelief. He looked up and down at Catelyn and did not say anything."She is a thief!" Amy saw that the manager did not make any instructions, so she said angrily, "Please search her immediately, make her pay for it!"'Men are trash. They could not even move their gaze away once they saw a beautiful woman,' she thought. The manager frowned even more. After a few minutes, he walked to the alarm and then fumbled around it for a bit. He then announced to everyone, "This lady here is a woman of class. She will not steal. It is our alarm that is faulty. Madam, you may leave now."Catelyn was taken aback by wha
The voice was not loud but was enough for everyone at the scene to have heard it. Everyone fell silent. Cedrick, with the two little boys next to him, were all pouting. They had the same 'cool' look. "Ced… Cedrick?"Amy and her sidekick were shocked to see his familiar face. Amy immediately went forward with a smile and did not even have time to think about what he had just said. "Why are you here? It's such a coincidence. My name is Amy, and I work at the VSA Group. We met one time by the beach the other day. Not sure if you still remember me?"Cedrick seemed not to have seen her and walked straight to Catelyn. Her items were all scattered on the floor. Cedrick frowned and then kneeled before Catelyn.He picked up the lipstick, mirror, and other personal items from the ground. Catelyn was a little taken aback by his actions."Let me pick it up." She was subtly blushing from ear to ear and wanted to pick her things up herself.Cedrick looked up into her eyes, and h
"You… You guys!"The manager looked at Cedrick, then took a bow and came by with some documents in his hand."Cedrick, I have communicated with our store owner, and he is willing to sell this store. Now, the store belongs to Miss Clark."His voice was shaking as though afraid to annoy Cedrick.Earlier, when he was looking around, he saw Cedrick with a pair of twins and a woman.He was from Sapphire City himself and had heard about the grand wedding two months ago. Rumors had it that a mysterious woman crashed the wedding, breaking the two families up.When he saw the four of them appearing at the mall together, there was almost no doubt…That Catelyn was the biological mother of the twins. She had such a prestigious identity and could easily move mountains with her fingers. Why would she need to steal?Cedrick glanced at the agreement, and his cold gaze swept past Amy too."This store now belongs to Catelyn. Did she need to steal her own belongings? Miss Amy, do you think
Five minutes later, the jewelry store was surrounded by spectators. Amy was holding a thin piece of paper in her mouth and was dancing at the door of the jewelry store. She mumbled, "Hello, everyone, I am a gorilla."Amy danced for half a minute and banged her chest non-stop. She seemed to be exhausted already. Miles was holding his arms behind his back and commented, "Such a horrible dance. Even the actual gorilla can dance better than you."Amy felt the urge to cry.She was surrounded by so many people. Some of them had even watched her video before and started to take their phones out to record her. From time to time, these people even burst into laughter. Miles held his chin up as though he was kind enough to be merciful. He waved his hand and said, "That's enough. It's such a horrible sight to have kids watching your dance. Now you need to do a half squat. I want to play another game with you."Amy was reluctant. There were a few security guards standing behind her,
Miles was puffing his cheeks. He highly disapproved of Cedrick's actions.Cedrick's handsome face was a little dull, and he regretted slightly having told the two kids about Catelyn's pregnancy.If it were his own child, he would gladly be happy to hear about it anytime.The point was that the child was George's.Miles and Ollie had been talking about it all the time to remind him about it.Catelyn could sense the tension in the atmosphere. However, it was pointless for her to explain herself now. Obviously, no one would believe her."Right, you are their daddy. You should get them some presents. Let's go make some horse riding outfits."Catelyn smiled lightly and bent to pick Miles up.Nonetheless, as soon as she was leaning forward, a strong arm swooped past her and picked Miles up right away. Miles wrapped his hands around Cedrick's neck under reflex.'His skull is so hard…' Miles pouted and thought while sitting on Cedrick's arm. Cedrick's height was 188cm, so when M
After a brief moment of silence, Catelyn took a deep breath. "Excuse me, but I've never seen a proposal this casual before. No flowers, and no ring? You're not even on one knee, so why should I say yes?"She then shoved past Cedrick and walked away, despite how her heart raced.Had she heard those words two months ago, she would have accepted without hesitation. However, his proposal was 60 days too late, and everything had gone wrong since then. Her life had yet to be straightened out, and marriage would only be another burden on her.Miles clapped mockingly. "Wow, Mom rejected Big Demon again.""Shut up if you don't want me to leave you here!" Cedrick's eyebrows twitched in annoyance. Both he and Catelyn were not talkative people, so how on earth did Miles become this talkative?Ollie raised his arm slightly and said in an encouraging manner, "Mom is soft-hearted, so try to spend more time to win her over. Good luck—I believe in you.""..."...Cedrick, Catelyn, Miles, and Ol
Standing in front of the display window, Catelyn admired the hand-made pieces on the stand. There were beams of light on top of every cell, and each piece appeared extremely sophisticated under the light. At the very center of the display window was a perfect white wedding gown. With a scoop-neck neckline that hugged the chest, the dress extended all the way down to the ground. Inspired by the Victorian era, small pieces of diamonds were scattered all over the hem of the dress, giving it an elegant and fairy-like appearance.Her heart stopped the moment she laid eyes on the dress. It was absolutely stunning, but she looked away immediately.Cedrick had moved closer and stood by her side. "Do you like this wedding dress?""I don't," replied Catelyn nonchalantly, albeit lying."Your expression suggests otherwise," Cedrick said stubbornly.Catelyn clenched her fists and turned to stare at him in the eyes. "Whether I like it or not has nothing to do with you, Cedrick. I've already ref
