Catelyn calmly shook everyone's hands as they introduced themselves.Everyone brought gifts for her, and these presents were so huge that Jolene and Joanne were momentarily stunned.Aside from the yacht and villa somebody else bought for her, Donald gifted her a small island.Catelyn struggled to keep herself from passing out when she heard Donald's gift. She could not possibly accept that; an island was an extravagant gift!On the other hand, declining the gift would surely bruise Donald's goodwill.Cedrick walked to Catelyn's side, held her waist with one hand and took the gifts from the guests, and said, "My wife is grateful for all of these. From now on, she's your sister-in-law."Benjamin envied how Cedrick could hold Catelyn so romantically. "She's not your wife yet until you have the marriage license.""Oh, they haven't gotten a marriage license yet, you say?" Edwin's eyes narrowed, seemingly pleased. "You know, Kitty, I've always thought that you're beautiful. It's a pit
The chips in the pool at that time were worth more than 10000 dollars!Back then, Catelyn did not expect that Cedric and Charles were rich, given how unassuming they looked.That room, unlike the one they were in, was divided into several areas; Cedrick and Charles were in one of the play zones. There were even white chandeliers hung on the ceiling which made the room bright.In contrast, the lighting of the VIP room Catelyn and her friends were singing in was soft and hazy.Under such a fascinating ambiance, Cedrick could not help but slip his arm around Catelyn's waist and squeeze lightly, which caught Catelyn by surprise."Just have fun there," rang his voice, husky and soft. "Don't worry about losing money."Edwin's keen ears heard Cedrick's whisper, and his eyes twinkled excitedly. "Don't be shy, Kitty! Cedrick earns a lot, so even if he loses millions of dollars, he can earn it back the next day."He then teasingly eyed Cedrick and Catelyn as though he had sparked the flam
Catelyn secretly glanced at Joanne and Jolene, who were singing.She knew that two friends of hers would be dying to see Edwin and Cedrick having some sort of 'bromantic affair' together.…Maybe it was because the rules of the game were changed, or maybe it was because Edwin and the others did not hold back their skills anymore, but Catelyn lost five games in a row later on.She did not even dare to look at Cedrick's livid face."Kitty, your poker skills are indeed a little unreliable. I'm embarrassed to let Cedrick keep drinking like that."Edwin's eyes narrowed into a seam. After speaking, he handed the wine glass to Cedrick. 'What a shameless man. He's actually gloating!' hissed Catelyn internally.Cedrick drank all the wine in the cup in one go. No matter how good he was at handling his alcohol, his face had begun to turn red.Knowing that he had a gastric problem, Catelyn tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Let's admit our defeat and stop playing. Or, why not let me dr
Back in the bathroom of Riverdale Entertainment Club, Joanne had lost her sense of direction and got separated from Jolene as she walked.She originally wanted to go to the women's bathroom, but she somehow stumbled into the men's bathroom in the end.Sitting on a toilet in a cubicle, Joanne hummed in a timid tone.After flushing the water, she walked out of the cubicle, staggering and wobbling as she did.She took a look around with her flushed cheeks and heavy eyelids. She was so drunk that she could not tell the difference.She felt her head become gradually heavy, and before taking a few steps forward, she stumbled and slammed into the back of a man out of control.Although Edwin was just as intoxicated, he still had his rationale with him as he was able to analyze the situation of his surroundings. Hearing footsteps behind him, he quickly turned around and pushed the person away.When he saw that it was Joanne, he was startled for a second.Joanne took advantage of the sit
Similar to Joanne, Catelyn, too, found herself in an embarrassing situation. She was staring at Cedrick in their car.She realized Cedrick was the same every time he was drunk. One might think he was still conscious judging by his bright eyes and the way he walked, yet his mind had long been muddled.Once there was no one, or when he relaxed his tensed nerves, he would return to his drunken state.At that moment, he had already fallen asleep on her lap as his eyes were tightly closed and his eyebrows relaxed. Gone was his hostility when he was drunk.Regardless, he habitually frowned.Catelyn rubbed the tip of his eyebrows, trying to calm him down, yet that only helped for a few seconds until he frowned again.Catelyn put her white palm against his forehead and murmured, "How could you value your pride over your health? If you had admitted defeat, all you would've lost was just a game. Are you happy now? Don't you know how bad it hurts to be drunk?"Eason was driving the car, se
"How would I know you'd break in suddenly?"After a pause, Cedrick raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Did you come in to peek on purpose, knowing that I was in the bathroom?"Catelyn blushed and turned her back to him angrily. "I don't even care about looking at you, so why would I care about peeping at you? Also, your 'package' isn't gold-encrusted. Hurry up, I want to use the bathroom too."Cedrick wickedly smirked.Catelyn urged him at the door for a long time, but he did not come out.The two stared at each other for a while until Catelyn got angry. "Can't you get out already?!""I'm not done yet." Cedrick reclined slowly on the glass door that separated the shower area from the dry area. "You've seen my body, so to be fair, I think I should look at yours, too."Catelyn was furious as she looked at him in disgust. "Are you perverted?!"She could not believe he wanted to stay and watch her using the toilet. Even if he did not feel disgusted, she would still feel em
Catelyn, oddly, sounded somewhat coquettish despite her evidently anger-filled words, and Abert almost dropped the tray on his hands when he heard their conversation.Albert blushed.It just so happened that two cleaning maids were wiping the dust off the railings in the morning. When they heard Catelyn's voice, they exchanged glances and grinned strangely."Our Master Cedrick is so strong.""You're right, you're right!""Aww, they're so sweet!""That's right! This is probably what they meant by 'youths having fun'.""Ahem!" Albert was too embarrassed to listen to their conversation. He looked at the two maids and said, "Alright, this place has been cleaned. You can go downstairs to clean the living room now."The maids got Albert's hint and went downstairs with a smile.Albert then hurried downstairs with the maids and ordered all the maids to not allow anyone to go upstairs.Still, Albert was a little worried that the young masters might have heard it.'Oh, God, please hav
"Do you remember what that man looked like?""I..." Joanne thumped her head and shook her head helplessly. Her eyes reddened as she wept. "I can't remember, but his back looked familiar to me. He looked tall and beefy.""What about his other features? Can you recall anything else about him?"A lot of vague memories suddenly flashed in Joanne's mind.Catelyn stared at her aggrieved appearance and felt remorseful and guilty.She was also mad that the driver did not fetch Joanne, and he did not even call her to double-confirm her friend's wellbeing.She held herself responsible because she did not call Joanne to ask if she had gotten home safely before going to bed.However, what troubled them was that Joanne had already taken a shower, and she might already have washed away the evidence, which was the DNA of the man.Not to mention, she was a public figure, and that incident would most probably affect her reputation."Do you remember where you met that man?"Joanne took a momen
