Cedrick replied slowly yet sternly, "Did you touch my folders in the office this afternoon?"Maia stopped breathing, her pupils subconsciously constricted. "What folders? I am not sure…"Cedrick watched her reaction. His handsome face was gloomy. "I am sure you are very clear about one thing: our engagement stemmed from that fateful night four years ago. If I found out that you had been lying to me all along…""I am not sure what you are talking about."Maia's face turned green as she replied stubbornly, "We have been together for so long, and you do not have any trust in me? Or, you have never really valued our relationship?"Cedrick placed his glass down and observed Maia's reaction as he did so. "It is about responsibility and commitment between us."In other words, there was no love.Maia clenched her fist. She could not let Cedrick find out about the truth.He mistook her for another woman four years ago and was always so cold to her. If he found out about the truth…

After all, the most important guests tonight were Cedrick, Edwin, and Maia. They were the core family members of the Big Four families, and no one would wish to offend them. Once they all fell silent, Catelyn took a breath of relief too. Her slender finger then pointed at the piano in the corner and said calmly, "Even though I could not sing for everyone, I have prepared another performance for everyone."Was she going to play the piano?He could faintly remember that she was good at playing the piano back then. Edwin was the first to stand up and applaud. "Ms. Clark! I am rooting for you, looking forward to your performance!"Some people in the crowd followed him to applaud Catelyn. Catelyn then settled down in front of the piano.She had learned piano ever since she was young. She felt great to be touching such an elegant grand piano, her palms were warm, and her fingers were delighted by the touch.The performance started. Her slender fingers dropped on the black and whit

Lori's face was also full of disgust. "To put it bluntly, she did it for the money!""Don't say that. Catelyn... doesn't look like someone who would betray anyone for money," said Louella. She secretly felt a little joyous as she listened to the two trash-talking Catelyn.The more the Mason family looked down on Catelyn, the less likely Jamie would get back together with Catelyn.However, Jamie just kept his face sullen and said nothing.If he had not regretted his marriage back then, he would be the one standing beside Catelyn today.Seeing Jamie's expression, Louella's expression sank again.The only thing she saw in him was regret.Meanwhile, on the dance floor.Edwin had said something which made Catelyn smile shyly. She was even blushing.Cedrick's gaze fell uncontrollably on the two of them, and his expression was also gloomy.What are they talking about? What is so funny?Edwin had been known to be a chick magnet. Has Catelyn also fallen into his trap?Maia also look

The photographer was so amazed at their final dance pose that he took pictures of them.Cedrick caught a glimpse of the photographer's movements out of the corner of his eyes, and his cold face softened a little. He leaned closer to Catelyn, and she could smell his unique masculine breath.It was a faint scent, mixed with a hint of alcohol.Catelyn blushed.She took a deep breath, stood up quickly, and then pushed him away politely. She was smiling and praising him in a very ladylike manner. She was in the eyes of the public, after all."Cedrick, you danced really well," she said.Cedrick suddenly felt a little empty without Catelyn in his arms. He just stared at her lightly as she complimented him."You're good too," he said.As the two praised each other politely, the photographer continued taking pictures of them.Later, as the dance music faded, the photographer started to look at the photos he had taken, feeling very proud of the pictures he had taken of Cedrick and Catel

Realizing that Catelyn had heard them bad-mouthing her the whole while, Louella pulled the hem of Queenie's dress as they hurriedly left the washroom.However, Lori remained.In the silent washroom, she looked at Catelyn arrogantly, her face full of disgust. "So you've heard what we've said. It's true. We were talking bad about you. What are you going to do about it?"Catelyn felt angry at first, but she had the urge to laugh as she heard Lori's words.She was suddenly feeling so glad that she did not marry Jamie and that Miles would not have to live a life with such a terrible grandma.In this case, indifference and ignorance were the most effective methods against these absurd rumors.Catelyn went to the sink to wash her hands, minding her own business as if Lori was not even there.Lori yelled even more angrily when she saw Catelyn ignoring her. "Edwin would never set his eyes on you! He has so many women around, and I bet he will forget about you very soon."Catelyn washed
