Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 145

Chapter 145 “Since the Clarks went bankrupt, Jamie broke it off with Catelyn, so it’s no wonder that she hates Missus Mason.”

“What exactly is going on?” Everyone lowered their voices and discussed as they scanned Catelyn and Lori. Lori’s chest heaved and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Come see this, everyone. Catelyn is a sl*t by nature and got pregnant with my son’s child when she was just a teenager!

“Mister Atherton, you don’t know this, but Catelyn has always been great at putting men under her spell. Don’t get fooled by how fragile she appears on the outside!” Furious to find out that Catelyn had locked her mother inside the bathroom, Queenie chimed in, “No matter what my mother did, Catelyn, she’s old and is your senior. How could you lock her in the bathroom?”.

Lori and Queenie’s words had caught the attention of everyone around them.

When Jamie heard the commotion, he glanced over, only to realize that his sister and mother were causing a scene and was instantly embarrassed. “Mom, Queenie, what are you two talking about?!” Jamie went up and grabbed Lori by the hem of her clothes. “Stop it!

“I’m sorry, everyone. My mother has had too much to drink. Please pay us no mind!” He only managed to be invited to the ball thanks to Louella. Every single guest in the hall was someone of high status, and Lori had practically announced to them that he had an unreasonable shrew for a mother.

However, Lori was further provoked when she saw her son siding with Catelyn. “i’m saying whatever I want, even if you try to stop me! You’re dating Louella now, Jamie, so you’re not to be fooled by this little b*tch again. She had the guts to lock me inside the bathroom!”

Catelyn did not say a word at the accusation but clenched her fists in silence.

Cedrick glanced at her swollen cheek, and the look of his eyes darkened.

The next moment, Catelyn spoke out in a casual tone, “Missus Mason, you said that I locked you inside the bathroom, but do you have any proof? Besides, why would I lock you in there?”

Lori choked on her words. She could not possibly mention that she spoke ill of Catelyn and was caught, since that would only embarrass herself.

“You wench! I was alone in the bathroom with you that time. If it wasn’t your doing, are you saying that I was the one who locked myself inside?”

“Who knows? After all, it’s not like you’re beneath framing others.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lori gasped.

The guests around them stared at them judgmentally.

Queenie batted her eyelashes with concern and said, “Catelyn, how can you talk to my mom like that? She’s doing this for your good. She doesn’t want you to go down the wrong path and get played by men!”

Lori’s eyes glimmered coldly as she changed the topic, proceeding sarcastically, “That’s right! Don’t try to make things up. You’ve been fooling around with different men for as long as your father is dead. If only he knew about this in the afterlife, he’d jump out of his grave in rage at the shame you brought to his name.”

Catelyn glowered at Lori upon hearing those venom-filled words. “Who told you that my father is dead? Apologize. Apologize to him!” “Why should I apologize to a murderer like him? Are you still dreaming?” said Lori smugly.

“That’s right. I heard that Catelyn is Ezekiel Clark’s daughter. Isn’t he one of the most notorious murderers back in the days?”

“She’s truly the daughter of a murderer, then?” “One wouldn’t be able to tell that a girl that pretty would come from such a messy background.

“I wouldn’t have believed that the organizer would invite someone like that if she didn’t come with Mister Atherton.”

At that moment, everyone gazed at Catelyn demeaningly, while Lori straightened her back smugly.

The look in Catelyn’s eyes only grew colder by the second. “Missus Mason, are you certain that you won’t be apologizing for speaking such things about my father?”
