Chapter 179 Mr. Lewis tried his best to entertain Cedrick. He toasted and chatted with him to lift the
atmosphere as much as he could. He was not like a chairman but rather a member of the public relations
team…
Most of their topics were about official matters and occasionally changed to a few unimportant gossip.
Catelyn pretended to be transparent. She only concentrated on eating with her head hanging low.
Undeniably, the dishes were made excellently. The portion of each dish was not much, but it was
extraordinarily delicious, and the aroma would linger for a long time.
“Ms. Clark, I don’t know if you still remember me? It’s my honor to meet you again today. Come, I’ll give
you a toast.”
After indulging in the dishes for a while, Mr. Lewis suddenly raised the glass to Catelyn.
Catelyn was taking The Majestique’s featured mushroom soup. Upon hearing Mr. Lewis’s words, she
wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth and smiled. She picked up a wine glass to return the toast.

“Mr. Lewis, you’re being too polite. I should be giving you a toast.”
“Don’t be too humble. I’ll do it first as a sign of respect,” Mr. Lewis said. He emptied the liquor in the wine
glass. Although he was old, he was quite a drinker,
Catelyn clenched the hand holding the wine glass. “Mr. Lewis, you’re so forthright. Then I’ll stop
refraining myself as well…”
She picked up the wine glass, and the pungent smell of alcohol gushed to her face. She was just about
to bring the wine glass to the corner of her mouth when suddenly a pair of slender fingers appeared in
front of her. The fingers snatched the glass from her hand with ease…
Under Catelyn’s surprised eyes, Cedrick set the wine glass down and poured her a cup of hot tea.
“She’s not good at drinking, so I’ll drink this glass for her.” The slender fingers held the ceramic teacup
up.
Catelyn glanced at the teacup. The light-colored tea was emitting white steam, blurring the air, making
his joints less visible.
“Pardon me for not being considerate enough.” Seeing Cedrick’s protectiveness over the lady, Mr. Lewis
scratched his round head regretfully. He flashed a guilty smile and said, “I just want to make a toast, but I
seem to forget that Ms. Clark is not a very good drinker…”
Catelyn whispered, “Actually, I can drink as well if it’s only one glass.”
“Have you forgotten how you behaved when you were drunk last time?” Cedrick rebutted Catelyn’s
words half-heartedly.
Catelyn was speechless and rolled her eyes.
‘That time, I was coerced by Jamie to take white wine and red wine at the same time. Of course, it’s easy
to get drunk that way!’ she thought to herself.
Swoosh!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, without warning, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.
A slender, tall figure and a young servant barged in. “Miss, you really can’t go in…” The servant was still
trying to stop the woman. However, it was impossible for Maia to take a servant seriously. “Get out.
There isn’t a place in Sapphire City that I can’t go to!” Maia threw the young servant to the ground with a
powerful push, and then she rushed in with her pumps, with arrogance plastered across her face.
However, that pretty face of hers froze instantly when she saw the three people in the room.
The woman sitting next to Cedrick was Catelyn!
The woman that was being addressed as Cedrick’s fiance was also her! “Mr. Lewis, Master Cedrick, I’m
really sorry. This woman insisted on breaking in. We can’t stop her…” The young servant apologized
resignedly to the few people sitting in the private room as cold sweat broke out.
When Catelyn saw Maia, her amber pupils constricted slightly. Why is she here? The murderous look on
her face was as if… she had discovered the affair between her husband and the mistress?
Mr. Lewis vaguely felt that Maia looked familiar, but he still lowered his face in annoyance. He asked
coldly, “Is this how The Majestique protects the privacy of the customers? I have clearly requested that
no outsiders are not allowed to disturb us. Hurry up and call the bodyguards. Drag her out!”
