CEO’s Romantic Affair

The sense of loss in Cathryn’s heart began to spread slowly until the car was out of sight. She was carrying the cake in her hand, but Cathryn did not seem very happy. Cathryn was about to go upstairs with the cake, and Stella had seen all of this.

She was on the balcony watching the whole time. When she saw Cathryn coming into the house, she turned and walked into the living room. Cathryn had said she was going to buy yogurt, but she came back with a cake. As soon as she went into the living room, Mr. Riley immediately stood up and took the cake from Cathryn’s hand.

“It’s impossible for my dear daughter to lose weight.” Mr. Riley joked. Hearing his words, everyone in the living room started to laugh. After that, Mr. Riley went to the kitchen to fetch the dessert knife.

Cathryn was also amused by her father, and the sense of loss in her heart was entirely swept away. She looked at her grandma, who was holding her hands tightly to help warm her hands, and Cathryn felt full of strength again. When everyone was eating the cake, Stella hadn’t said a word.

This was very unusual for her. She suddenly asked Cathryn, “Didn’t you say you went out to buy yogurt, Cathryn? Why did you buy a cake instead?”

Cathryn, whose mouth was covered with cake, wasn’t expecting Stella to ask her this question, and she glanced around in panic.

She kept telling herself that she couldn’t let her family know about Keith. If they were to find out, they would also know she was pregnant. Her parents would be devastated.

“The cake shop is nearby, so I bought the cake instead of yogurt,” Cathryn lied.

She was smiling awkwardly, and she continued to eat the cake.

“There’s no cake shop nearby. “Stella unhesitatingly tries to catch Cathryn in a lie. She looked at the box, and he went on, “This brand of cake is the high-end custom-baked cake from Douglas City, and it’s not sold in Jonathan City.”

“The boxes in baking shops all look alike.” Tired of coping, Cathryn explained casually.

“Hey! It’s just a cake, what are you two arguing about?” asked Cathryn’s grandma. Mrs. Lee, who also thought Stella had gone too far, glared at her daughter to remind her to keep her mouth shut.

Stella, acting like she was insane, suddenly stood up and rushed over to Cathryn. She pulled Cathryn’s arm and rolled up her sleeve to expose the jade bracelet that was given by Keith.

“What are you doing, Stella?” Mr. and Mrs. Lee hurried to stop their daughter.

“This jade bracelet was bought at a high price, and it is worth about two hundred thousand dollars. If she is just a small unknown actress in the entertainment circle, how can she afford to buy such an expensive bracelet?” Stella shouted.

Shocked by Stella’s words, everyone in the living room paused and then turned their attention to Cathryn.

Cathryn was no longer nervous and flustered when her arm was pulled up by Stella. Her lips trembled slightly as she stared at the cake on the table. She had no emotion on her face, she let Stella roll up her sleeve and allowed her to speak out about the price of the bracelet.

Everyone fixed their eyes on Cathryn, which made Cathryn almost lose her breath. After the pain in her body and mind became numb, Cathryn turned her head to look at Stella, while the shyness and nervousness in her eyes had disappeared. “What’s wrong with buying a fake bracelet to satisfy my vanity? Do I need to break the bracelet right away to let you believe it’s a fake?” asked Cathryn.

Then she suddenly pulled her arm out of Stella’s hand. She lifted her wrist and was going to hit the bracelet against the table.

Seeing things get worse, Cathryn’s grandma and Mrs. Lee, who was sitting beside Cathryn, quickly tried to stop her. Mrs. Lee kept apologizing, “Don’t be angry, Cathryn. I’ll ask Stella to say she’s sorry.”

The situation reversed instantaneously, and everyone began to condemn Stella for starting a feud at the family gathering. There was no talking Stella down, she was furious.

She was angrily looking at Cathryn, and she shouted, “I saw her get out of a Bentley, which was worth seven hundred thousand dollars. There was also a man sitting in the car, and they did a lot of intimate things in the car. This cake was also taken from the car by a man. There are so many things like this in the entertainment circle. Without ability and fame, the actresses always want to rely on the rich people…”

“Shut up!” blurted Mrs. Riley. What Stella had been saying breathlessly and passionately was the truth. She had wished everyone in the building would believe her. However, her aggressive arrogance was suppressed entirely by Mrs. Riley’s words.

Slowly rising from behind the table and still showing no emotion on her face, Mrs. Riley said, “You’re not allowed to disrespect my daughter like this.”

Stella’s impression of Mrs. Riley was that she was a cold and a calm woman. She didn’t concern herself with anyone. She always had an expressionless look on her face. With age, she became more dignified and aloof.

It was Mrs. Riley who had violently opposed Cathryn being an actress. It was the first time Stella had seen Mrs. Riley, who had always been reticent and not inclined to talk much, go into a lengthy analysis of the reasons why Cathryn was unsuited to be an actress.

It was true that Mrs. Riley disliked Cathryn becoming an actress and even detested the unspoken rules of the entertainment circle. She always tried to give her daughter the most robust backing of trust instead of doubting her.

All the people in the living room were surprised by Mrs. Riley’s words. Her voice was not loud but very powerful. Mrs. Riley was the head of the household besides Cathryn’s grandma in their family.

If it involved a great event that needed to be discussed, Mrs. Riley was the one that made the final decision, so all the relatives had great respect for her.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
