Semua Bab Our Billion-Worth Twins: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Both Cedrick and Catelyn darkened at Maia's words.Hooker? Paid?Not only was this an insult to Catelyn, but it was also an insult directed at Cedrick. He had never imagined that he would hear such a word coming out of Maia's mouth.Catelyn gritted her teeth as she desperately tried to remain calm. "Yes, I do remember the rules of the Clark family. I won't—""Rules? How dare you even mention that word?!" The anger burnt away the last ounce of composure within Maia, and she screamed in frustration, "Your mother ran away with some guy after giving birth to you, so where did you learn the rules again? I heard that you bore a son out of wedlock, so I'm afraid that you're just like your mom, and any guy would do it for you! How lustful!"Catelyn finally ran out of guilt and patience. She slowly clenched her fists and stared coldly at Maia. "You have no right to make any comment on my mother. If you suspect that something is going on between me and Cedrick, ask him yourself. Why bother

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

Catelyn's bottom line was her family. No matter what others have said about her father, Ezekiel would always be the gentle, loving father who gave her the world."Pah!" Lori spat viciously.Not a moment later, Catelyn grabbed one of the wine glasses from the tray next to her and tipped it downward, pouring all the wine onto Lori's heels.Splash!"Gah!" Lori shrieked and jumped backward hysterically. "My heels! Catelyn Clark, you—!"These heels are designed by the most famous designer in Paries, LR, and they'd only produce nine hundred ninety-nine pairs of these! My future daughter-in-law gave this to me as a gift, and it's worth over a million!"Lori's shrieks grabbed the attendees' attention, and they stared at her heels.The high-heeled shoes seemed to be coated in gold, and the heels, in particular, were about 11 centimeters in length. Gold leaves and diamonds decorated the front and back of the laces, and the 'L' logo on the sides of both heels was impressively striking.Th

Cedrick's words represented authority, and there was not a soul that would doubt Mason Group's jewelry appraiser.The organizer, Jones, beamed. "That's great! It's wonderful that you're willing to help, Mister Mason..." He hastily commanded his men to set up the projector so that everyone could see the appraising process and proof of who was right.Catelyn waited quietly for the appraiser to get online.Soon, the appraiser's face appeared before the enormous screen in the middle of the hall.Lori took off her heels and carefully wiped away the wine on them, before taking them toward the camera smugly. "Kind sir, please inspect these for me to see how much they're worth. Someone dares to accuse me of wearing fake diamonds! I have to set her straight!"On the screen, an awkward expression appeared on the appraiser's face as soon as he saw the heels. He even seemed hesitant to make his comment.Queenie got closer and said, "Go on, then. Are these real or not?"The appraiser remaine

Catelyn truly felt like she had been jinxed on this day.She stared at the stain on the fabric on her chest and scowled. Everything just seemed to go wrong altogether!She was about to leave the ball as she had fulfilled what she came to do, only to bump into one of the waitresses, which caused the wine on the waitress' tray to spill and stain her dress.This dress was not even bought with her money; it was Edwin's! It was embarrassing to let the dress end up in such a state.Under the guidance of the waitress, she went to the restroom on the second floor to clean up.'I'm out of luck,' she grumbled internally.As soon as she entered the restroom, she was instantly overwhelmed by a powerful, irritating smell.It was not long, however, when she felt all her strength sapped away from her, and she slowly slid to the ground with her hand still grabbing on the door handle.'Someone set me up!' This was her only thought as she desperately tried to get up.Suddenly, a familiar female
