Chapter 182
“We will keep in touch because of some reasons at work. However, we are not considered close to each
other.”
“You don’t need to be humble. I’ve heard it all. For your sake, Ceddy even ignored the four year
relationship with Mai.”
Janice still had that indifferent and calm expression. There was no contempt in her tone.
Catelyn was well aware of the warning in her words. She stared at Janice with intense sincerity, and a
sense of stubbornness filled her eyes.
She was not the kind of person Janice thought her to be! “I feel deeply sorry that the engagement
between Master Cedrick and Ms. Clark was terminated, but I’m only an employee to Master Cedrick.”
“Alright, stop with those high-sounding words trying to fool people. Although I’m not wise, I’m a
generation older than you. I’ve seen many young girls trying to rely on men to gain glory and fame with
ease. I’ve never stopped these girls who want to get close to Ceddy. After all, it’s always the girls who
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsuffer from such things.”
Janice spoke lightly. Since she had always been pale, her voice was not loud as well. When the wind
blew, it seemed as if her voice was carried away by the wind altogether.
However, Catelyn could hear her words clearly, and each word hit her heart heavily. Janice coughed
lightly and continued slowly, “There is never a shortcut to gain glory and fame in this world. How can you
expect others to respect you if you don’t respect yourself?”
“Ms. Clark, I have a few words of advice. It’s of great importance to marry within your own class. If you
have gotten enough money, you should stop to save yourself from greater humiliation. By that time, it’s
you who will be embarrassed.”
Catelyn obviously felt that her whole body was icy cold.
Out of the corner of her eyes, she could not miss Maia’s provocative smug look.
Maia secretly chuckled, admiring how embarrassed Catelyn was.
Janice weighed a lot in Cedrick’s heart, and she knew that Catelyn was no match for her.
Moreover, those words had already degraded Catelyn to the lowest. Each and every word was spoken
lightly, but it was like an invisible lash that chastised the feisty, gold-digging girls!
Maia waited to see how Catelyn would pull an excuse… Catelyn had nothing to explain as well. After all,
she had benefited from Cedrick greatly. As Cedrick’s elder, Janice certainly had reason to suspect that
the girl who approached him had impure intentions. The slender eyelashes trembled slightly as Catelyn
felt the urge to flee the scene. However, Cedrick suddenly spoke up and stopped Catelyn’s movements.
He said, “Aunt Janice, she is not my plaything.”
His voice was powerful and penetrative. In the entire private room, there was only silence for a moment
Catelyn was shocked, and she had an expression of disbelief. She stared blankly at Cedrick, suspecting
if she had been hallucinating. However, Cedrick seemed to want to prove something. He walked to
Catelyn’s side and stood by her. Then, with his rough and big palm, he grasped her small hand,
squeezing it lightly, and clasped her fingers. He held her hand up.
It was as if he was deliberately showing it to Janice. He even waved it gently. In mid-air, there were two
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhands, one big and another small. The colors of the backs of the hands were different. The tanned one
was intertwined with the fair, and they complemented each other.
He looked into Janice’s eyes unwaveringly, and his eyes were not the usual peace and calm. He
solemnly emphasized, “The marriage arrangement between the Mason family and the Clark family must
be canceled. If it can not be canceled, then the bride will just have to be replaced. Anyway, the name is
only a word difference.” Janice looked at the hands that were held together, and she felt an uneasy
dazzle. “Can…you repeat that?”
Cedrick’s thin lips pursed lightly. Cedrick’s maternal grandfather’s family, the Coleman family, was also
considered a well-off one.
His mother, Daphne Coleman, set foot in the entertainment industry by accident. Later, she met his
father, and the two fell in love.
However, twenty or thirty years ago, the Mason family considered themselves a wealthy family and could
not accept an actress marrying into the family. Therefore, Daphne never had a dignified registration in
the Mason family tree. Later, Daphne was pregnant, and she had a difficult labor during childbirth.
