Chapter боб
Catelyn calmly shook everyone's hands as they introduced themselves.
Everyone brought gifts for her, and these presents were so huge that Jolene and Joanne were momentarily
stunned.
Aside from the yacht and villa somebody else bought for her, Donald gifted her a small island.
Catelyn struggled to keep herself from passing out when she heard Donald's gift. She could not possibly
accept that; an island was an extravagant gift!
On the other hand, declining the gift would surely bruise Donald's goodwill.
Cedrick walked to Catelyn's side, held her waist with one hand and took the gifts from the guests, and said,
"My wife is grateful for all of these. From now on, she's your sister-in-law."
Benjamin envied how Cedrick could hold Catelyn so romantically. " She's not your wife yet until you have the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmarriage license."
"Oh, they haven't gotten a marriage license yet, you say?" Edwin's eyes narrowed, seemingly pleased. "You know,
Kitty, I've always thought that you're beautiful. It's a pity that you're marrying Cedrick! Consider me before it's too
late. I promise to treat you a hundred times better than him."
Catelyn knew he was joking, but she could still feel that sharp spike of intensity from the man beside her.
Cedrick held Benjamin in contempt. "If it weren't for someone's inefficient service, we would've gotten our marriage
license already."
Benjamin refuted, "You told me that day that you wanted to draft a contract before marriage, out of the blue!
Please, I still have hundreds of millions of lawsuits in my hand waiting for me to settle, and how much did you offer
me? I can make the contract today if you give me three hundred million dollars."
Catelyn had long had a deep understanding of Benjamin's gold- digging manner. Thus, she was speechless.
She still could remember that day when she had made a consultation appointment on the Internet and spent a lot
of money on that.
However, Benjamin was busy overseas for outstation at the time. He did not refund the money but asked her to
seek help from other law firms.
They eventually had their meal in a harmonious, pleasant atmosphere.
Everyone drank a lot, especially Jolene and Joanne. The two were excited to meet each other, so they hit the
bottles. Catelyn, on the other hand, could not bear to see their drunk selves, so she asked a few chauffeurs to send
them home.
However, upon hearing that everyone was headed to Riverdale Entertainment club for a karaoke session, Joanne's
eyes glowed like lightbulbs. After all, she loved to sing.
In the end, everyone went to the club. Since Edwin was the owner of the entertainment club, they got an enormous
VIP room for free.
Everyone had their turn in singing, but it was evident how Edwin was the only man who could sing in the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBecause of that, Catelyn found the karaoke session unexpectedly boring.
A small tug-of-war nearly broke out when Edwin tried to get the mic from Joanne. Too lazy to try, Edwin
proposed that they played poker instead.
Benjamin, Edwin, and Donald quickly jumped off the couch and took their seats, with that, they needed one
more player to start the game.
Cedrick was originally accompanying Catelyn on the couch, but she pushed him. "Go, join them. Four for a
game."
She wanted to hang out with Joanne and Jolene. Had it been not for the unexpected guests, she would have
sung along.
Cedrick leaned slowly on the couch and languidly spoke, "Do you know how to play cards?"
She knew, of course. Her stepmom, Stella, was a master at playing cards, and she had been learning little by
little when she watched her sessions.
"I am not going to play for you, so don't bother asking. I can't take the amount of money that's involved in
just a single game."
She remembered that time when she was framed by Cedrick and ran to the Riverdale Entertainment club to
find John, still, she accidentally ran into Cedrick's room and saw him playing cards with Charles.
