Chapter 154
Edwin and Lola were both from the Atherton family. Even though they were remotely related, Lola had to address Edwin as her cousin.
Lola did not have the chance to call him her cousin before this day. However, Granny Atherton became very fond of her and brought her into her inner circle. Lola was also capable enough to have mingled well with the rest of the family and thus could finally address Edwin as her cousin.
“A room?” Edwin almost choked on his wine. His expression changed. “You shouldn’t make up stories, Lola.” “No, I’m not, honest! If you don’t believe me, you can go upstairs and check.”
Even though Lola was saying this to Edwin, she would glance at Cedrick from the corner of her eye, wanting to see how he would react. She wanted to see if Cedrick could still be loyal to her, even when confronted with her promiscuous actions. Cedrick’s pupils constricted upon hearing Lola’s words.
“Where is she?” His tone was dark with a hint of disdain.
Lola told him the room number.
Cedrick’s eyes darkened with bloodlust. He placed the wine glass back in the tray and made his way upstairs, much to Lola’s satisfaction.
Oh, how riveting it would be to see Cedrick gaping at Catelyn with three men on the bed. He would loathe her beyond relief!
“You seemed to be very happy to see Catelyn in a room with other men, Lola,” Edwin pointed out.
Lola quickly quelled her smile at the sudden remark and pretended to be shy,
“I was just thinking…if only Cedrick could see me.” Edwin smirked and said coldly, “You don’t deserve him.” “Well, if I don’t, does Catelyn?” Lola clenched her fists. “At least I’m clean, and I haven’t given birth to someone else’s child!” Then, she smiled and said, “Ah, yes! I even heard that Queenie prepared a big present for Catelyn! Cousin, would you like to know what it is?”
Hearing this, Edwin’s nonchalant demeanor vanished in a second, replaced by stern ferocity, intimidating like Cedrick usually was. “If you got a death wish, I won’t mind kicking you out of the family on my own.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Upstairs, Cedrick strode across the corridor to the room that Lola mentioned. His lips were pursed into a straight line, and the atmosphere was scornful.

“Ahh!” He heard a woman’s shriek the second he stepped out of the elevator, and his heart sank when he realized this.
It was Catelyn.
What happened to her? He started running. The Catelyn he knew would never sleep with other men in a hotel! Something must have happened! He cursed under his breath. Could Catelyn not sit still and stay out of trouble?
Numerous images flashed before his eyes. He finally reached the room. He instantly kicked at the door, which was flung open by his might. Bang! The door fell to the floor, much to everyone’s shock. When Cedrick saw what was happening in the room, his bloodlust surfaced, and his face was dark like a demon from hell.
On the first floor, in the ballroom.
The function was reaching its climax, and handling the final agenda was James’s speech. He stood in the middle of the stage in front of the microphone and said, “It was a pleasure to have everyone here today, to discuss the development of Sapphire City. I have prepared a short video for everyone, and hope everyone will enjoy it!”
