Chapter 31

Ollie's eyes widened dazedly as though he had not been able to process what his father had just told him.Cedrick had Albert bring over the medicine and a glass of warm water as he stood by Ollie's bedside. "The doctor said that you are to take this medicine as soon as you wake up."Ollie's dark eyes averted elsewhere. "Are you trying to trick me?""…""Once I finish my medicine, are you going to change your mind and not let me make Aunt Catelyn the designer for my mansion?"Ollie stared at his father with doubt. Though he was not even four, he knew that people make strategic lies.Edwin, on the other hand, was close to bursting into laughter.Cedrick gave him a cold glare and Edwin barely managed to keep his laughter in, but then he heard Cedrick asking Ollie, "How do I make you believe that I'm not lying to you, then?"Ollie straightened his back and puffed his cheeks."I want you to call Aunt Catelyn in front of me and invite her to design my mansion for me again." He pause

Chapter 32

"I changed my mind. Is there a problem with that?"Catelyn felt incredibly frustrated by the situation. Cedrick himself said she did not qualify, and it was also he who asked her to take over the project in a tone like he was granting her a gift.'Why should I say yes to him?'Catelyn thus responded, "I think I might not be good enough for this project. Our manager, Hills, is very experienced and would be a perfect candidate. Why don't I pass the phone to her instead?""…" Following a moment of silence, Cedrick's expression darkened. "So, you're rejecting me?""No, no, no!" Catelyn said sincerely, "I'm just worried that I might not be experienced or knowledgeable enough to handle a mansion that costs over a billion."Thinking that she was simply playing hard-to-get, Cedrick's gaze sharpened as he would when he was negotiating with business partners. "The design rate out in the market for this mansion is roughly two hundred per square meter. If you agree to take the project, I'll

Chapter 33

By the time Catelyn arrived at the mansion located south of the city, it was a little over two in the afternoon. The last time she was here, there was only a general outline of the mansion, but at this moment, there had been a temporary lounge where the porch was. It looked slightly like a tin house with the roof in blue and the walls in white.Eason noticed that she was sweating from rushing over and handed her a piece of wet tissue before pointing at the lounge. "Master Cedrick is waiting for you inside."Catelyn took a few deep breaths to adjust herself before she headed in.The temperature of the lounge was much lower in comparison to the outside as though it was a completely separate world.Cedrick sat lazily on a simplistic chair, his tailor-made suit wrapped around his athletic body. His handsome features were as perfect as that of a statue, and with his lips pursed, he oozed an intimidating aura that repelled anyone who tried to get closer to him.Catelyn knocked on the do

Chapter 34

Catelyn figured that Cedrick would not hold a grudge against her about that day she argued with him about the young master if she interacted with him politely.Cedrick's hand froze mid-air. His expression instantly darkened as he said coldly, "I'll arrange another designer to work with you, he'll inform you if any issue arises.""…" Catelyn was confused. How could this man's mood shift so suddenly? Wealthy people were indeed hard to read.However, she was overjoyed that she managed to obtain the project and decided not to bother with him.As she watched Cedrick leave, Catelyn realized that her legs were sore. Throughout their discussion, he had been sitting while she remained standing.She massaged her legs and took some rest in the lounge before leaving. On her way back to BrightGene, she received terrible news that caught her off-guard: Stella had lost consciousness and had been rushed to the hospital."Mister, please change the destination to First Hospital," Catelyn told the

Chapter 35

Catelyn felt all strength leaving her feet as she gaped at Stella's response. "One million?"Was that what she meant by 'not much'?"You can't just let me die!" Stella grabbed Catelyn's hand and wailed. She then continued, her next words laced with a vague threat and persistence, "You have to help me even if you don't want to, or the apartment we're living in will be gone!"A chilling premonition instantly overwhelmed Catelyn. "What else have you done behind my back?""I…" With how things had already escalated, Stella decided not to hide anything and, with a flushed face, confessed, "I stole your property certificate to use it as a mortgage. Why else do you think they'd lend me that much money?"The two-room apartment that Catelyn was living in at the time might not be spacious, but the location was very ideal, and after a few years of development in the area, the apartment's value had surpassed one million even if they were to deduct the remaining housing loan from the bank.Tea

Chapter 36

It felt as though the air had frozen over that evening.Back when she was the princess of the Clark Family, Catelyn had once invited all her classmates to a private room on the top floor, and she could still remember the time they partied deep into the night.Because of her experience, she managed to get her wits together and fooled the employees with an arrogant tone. She then strode toward VIP room number 6808 in her high heels.The door plate was coated in gold to emphasize how luxurious it was.Knock, knock!Catelyn summoned up her courage and knocked on the door. She held in her hand a yellow envelope that held a check worth 300000 that she gathered so far, hoping to resolve the pressing issue with the loan sharks.Following a squeaking sound, the door slowly opened.Realizing the door was not locked, Catelyn called out cautiously, "Mister Reed?"There was no response from the empty room, so she probably had arrived early. She tip-toed into the glorious entertainment room

It was a strange yet familiar scent to Cedrick, and he had only ever caught a whiff of it on one person.He narrowed his eyes and scanned the room before locking onto a certain spot. He thought back to the unlocked door and smirked in realization.The conservation ceased, and Catelyn's heart throbbed with anxiety. She contemplated whether she should lift the tablecloth to check on the situation outside when suddenly, a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared right before her eyes as the man sat down on the chair near her.The strong presence of the man overwhelmed her. Startled, she immediately moved deeper inside to avoid Cedrick's long legs. However, two pairs of feet appeared behind her as Charles and Eason took their seats as well.Catelyn was left with no other way but to move toward another corner desperately, hoping that they would not discover her."Master Cedrick, if we manage to buy Millions Pharmaceutical out, it'll provide us with tremendous aid in entering the phar

Chapter 38

"Master Cedrick, your car… Some lunatic crushed the window of your car."More often than not, the first reaction when people saw a luxury car would be to stay away as they could not afford to damage it in any way, but it appeared that they had encountered an odd individual who simply resented rich people.Cedrick's lips curled into a mysterious sneer. He quickly glanced below the table before tossing the cards in his hands away and spoke, "You two will head down to see what's going on.""I can handle this on my own," Eason said.Charles was far more sensitive in comparison to Eason and had realized someone else was inside the room long ago. Seeing how Cedrick appeared to be in a good mood, he figured that perhaps it was someone Cedrick knew.He tugged at Eason's clothes with a playful expression and said, "I'll just tag along, anyway.""Hey, it's just one lunatic… Why are you dragging me? I—""Have a great evening, Mister Cedrick," bade Charles with a sly smile before dragging E

The crimson red liquid slowly filled the wine glass. Cedrick gently twirled and tasted the wine as his eyes locked on Catelyn.The refreshing scent of gardenia in the air had become more distinct once she revealed herself.Catelyn knew that explaining herself would only further the misunderstanding and decided to not even try. She grabbed onto the envelope with the check inside and headed straight for the door. However, her legs had been numb and she did not last a few steps before losing balance.She stumbled and fell toward the ground while Cedrick happened to be standing by the wine cabinet next to the door.Her heart raced from fear and she could not help but reach out frantically in an attempt to grab onto someone.Thud!Her knees landed on the mat, sending sharp pain from her knees, and the numbness went away with it.The air froze around them as the tension rose.Catelyn did not dare look at Cedrick; how she desperately wished she could just die on the spot. "I…"Before

Chapter 40

Catelyn thought back to the awkward state she was in earlier, and her face flushed a bright red. "I didn't know that you were the one who booked this room…""So you're here to meet another man?" If Catelyn did not know it would be him, then who else was she expecting?Cedrick tightened his grip on her chin and noticed how his anger flared even worse than before.Due to the stronger force exerted, Catelyn's chin began to turn red. Frustrated, she explained, "I'm waiting for someone else, but not because of what you think. I'm here to pay my debt."Scared that Cedrick would not believe her, she frantically took out the check from inside the envelope. "See for yourself, this is the proof! I didn't even think that you'd show up here, and when I heard that you were discussing business, I panicked and hid under the table to avoid any further misunderstanding."Cedrick stared at her suspiciously. Was it possible that he misunderstood?Seeing that he had quieted down, Catelyn thought tha
