Chapter 65 After Catelyn was taken away by the police, Anne spotted her phone on the cafe table. Wanting to keep it safe, she tossed the phone into her bag and brought it back to the company.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of Mason Group’s building… “The reporters are so good at coming up with clickbait headlines now, huh? ‘Affair with the new lover’!” remarked Edwin while laying on the sofa lazily, one of his legs resting on the tea table and a glass of wine in one hand. He did not even bother hiding the disdain in his voice when he spoke. Cedrick threw him a cold look. “I asked to purchase the media company. Have you done it?” “Of course! Who do you think I am?” Edwin grinned. “However, as soon as I bought the paper company, your fiance had sent someone over to investigate Catelyn’s identity. She’s fast, alright.” Cedrick did not expect to have paparazzi stalking him. Perhaps it was deliberate stalking, or perhaps it was a coincidence. Whatever it was, he did not like having his photo exposed on the internet.
His brows were tied together when he thought of Maia. “How did you explain this whole incident to her?” “I had to say it was an accident. They didn’t get a shot of the girl’s whole face, so nobody would know who that woman was.” Edwin whistled and pointed at Catelyn in the photo. “The Clarks are well-known for their fine women. “Just look at Maia and Catelyn; both are divine beauties. If you ever encounter another Clark girl, remember to introduce me!” Edwin was known to be a playboy. He even established Barricade Club for his pleasure. Cedrick looked at his best friend in contempt, closed his eyes, and said, “Lend me a female artist from your entertainment company. I need her to resemble Catelyn’s figure.” “Am I hearing you right?” Edwin looked at Cedrick suspiciously. “Don’t tell me you’re a playboy now ever since Catelyn?” “Go away!” Cedrick slapped a pile of documents onto Edwin’s chest. Edwin held his chest exaggeratedly and whined, “God, you almost killed me!” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was from the media company. Edwin smiled after hearing what the person on the other end said. Coincidentally, he spotted Cedrick leaving for his meeting. Normally,
Cedrick would not let personal matters affect his business matters.
“Wait, Ced. Guess where your new baby girl is,” Edwin called out to Cedrick.
Cedrick continued to walk out. “I need to attend a meeting. I don’t have much free time like you do.”
“Come on, loosen up! I can’t believe a serious man like you have a fiancee!” Cedrick walked away in big strides. Edwin knew he was serious about not caring, so he quickly called out to him before he got too far.
“Catelyn is at the police station! Not sure what they charged her with, though.” Edwin usually enjoyed watching real-life drama as well, and he expected Cedrick to spring into action for Catelyn’s sake. Unexpectedly, Cedrick only paused briefly before he strode toward the meeting room. Catelyn? Police station? None of his business. Nonetheless, Edwin still felt the tension around Cedrick However, as soon as Cedrick pulled open the meeting room door, he saw his son, Ollie, standing right behind it. Ollie seldom came to the office. Additionally, his actions at the mansion involving Catelyn further strained his relationship with his father.
With that, Albert made soup and made an effort to convince Ollie to send the soup to his father. Ollie could not turn Albert down, so there he was.
Cedrick said nothing as he silently walked past Ollie and into the meeting room. Ollie, who was expressionless initially, quickly ran to Edwin and tugged at his pant leg, his small face looking up to him. “What did you say, Uncle Edwin?” he asked worriedly. “Aunty Catelyn is in the police station? What happened?”
