Semua Bab Our Billion-Worth Twins: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Was Cedrick alright at the club?Catelyn shook her head.Even if Lola wanted to harm Cedrick, knowing his ability, she could not even do anything to him.…Night fell, and it was misty and drizzling.Catelyn, upon taking her son home from school, went next door to check up on Joanne.She was not home.Looking at the time, it was almost 8 p.m.Catelyn decided to call Joanne, yet no one answered.Worried that something might have happened to Joanne, Catelyn called a car-hailing service and went to the Barricade Club.There were not many people around the clubhouse, probably due to the rainy weather.Catelyn somehow got the number of the private room where Joanne was, which happened to be on the top floor and was next to Cedrick's private room at 6809.The people in the entertainment industry were pretty extravagant, and it was normal for the likes of them to book such a private room.Catelyn felt her heart sinking in worry for Joanne, thus without hesitation, she hurriedly l

Edwin raised his eyelids, returning to his usual impish self. "The internet has shown Joanne’s true colors. That woman has a messy life, and she often sells her privacy for money to gain fame and popularity. I don’t want the Barricade Club’s reputation and, more importantly, our customer’s privacy to be compromised just because of her."Catelyn instinctively shot up from her seat upon hearing Edwin's response. "Those comments about Joanne aren't true at all; they’re all biased!"Since Catelyn knew that Joanne had been kicked out, she was concerned about her whereabouts.Feeling worried, Catelyn pushed Cedrick away and was about to leave the place to continue looking for Joanne when someone grabbed her wrist. She turned and noticed that it was Cedrick."Where are you going?" he asked, staring at her."Joanne is my friend. I’m going to find her," replied Catelyn.Catelyn removed Cedrick’s hand away from her and left without looking back.Cedrick remained seated. He thought that sh

“Send her to the police station," demanded Cedrick. "I’m accusing her of sexual harassment!”Lola froze upon hearing this, and even the head security guard gaped in shock.Ever since the guard had been in charge of security at the Barricade Club for so many years, he has seen many female clients complaining about harassment issues from men. Never had he seen any men complaining about a woman who sexually harassed him, though.“Understood,” said the head guard. Two of his men came forward and pulled Lola up from the ground.Knowing that her actions were irreversible, Lola burst into tears while she internally raged against Catelyn, wanting to drag that woman deeper into the waters. “Wake up, Master Cedrick! Catelyn doesn't truly love you; she’s only using you as a stepping stone to climb up her career ladder!"She also offered that if she handed you to me, I'll then make her the winner of the Chandier Jewelry Competition. Your love means nothing to her!"Lola’s pleading voice e

Cedrick's voice was nasally and sounded like he was up all night.The time on Catelyn's screen showed that it was nine in the morning.Cedrick was probably still in bed by this hour."Nothing, I accidentally pressed on your contact. Have a good rest." Catelyn hung up without hesitation.The thought that Cedrick and Lola had slept together made her feel queasy, but Catelyn quickly shook her head.'Sweet, sweet Catelyn. Why do you even care?'No, she did not care.She just could not accept that, after sleeping with Lola, there might still be a chance that Cedrick would sleep with her.Yes, that must be the reason.Catelyn tried to explain to herself, but the agitation did not leave her. She regretted having dialed him.…Cedrick, who just sat up from his bed in the Barricade Club and heard the end-call beeps, had a similarly grim expression.Catelyn slipped Lola into his room, yet she was the one throwing a tantrum? He really should not have spoiled her so much.He lifted th

Charles stretched his neck to peek and noticed that Cedrick wanted to send a message but did not. It then dawned on him.It made sense why he was in such a bad mood; he must have quarreled with Miss Clark."Cedrick, Miss Clark is coming for an interview this afternoon at four. Would you like me to pass on a message to the human resource department for you to interview her personally?"Cedrick looked displeased. "Office time for personal matters? Do you still want your bonus for this month?"Charles felt like he had been wronged.…Catelyn finished her design draft and was about to send it to Chandier Jewelry personally. Of course, she still felt the jitters when she handed in her draft.It was because she was a little bold with her design this time to not have done something mainstream.However, to win the contest, she had to take some risks.She had done all that she could, and the rest was up to fate.Lola spent two days in the police station because of Cedrick's sexual har
