Chapter 834
"Move, or I'll make you," Cedrick threatened the bodyguard.
Although the bodyguard was intimidated by this taunt, he remained loyal to his duty. "I really can't let you in, Sir."
Cedrick sneered and was about to roll up his sleeve when the door to the dressing room suddenly opened.
"Tsk! Don't shed blood at Catelyn's reunion banquet, Ced. It's not auspicious." Edwin propped himself on the door with
one arm, looking at Cedrick with a delighted half-smile as though reveling in his misfortune.
Cedrick stared at him coldly and arrogantly. "I'll have a word with you later. Where's Catelyn?"
"Cat's reunion banquet is about to start. It's not good to make the guests wait." The subtext in his words was obvious: he
did not want Cedrick and Catelyn to meet at this point.
If Catelyn were not his aunt's daughter, Edwin would have allowed Cedrick to get his wife back.
However, the situation was different.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn suffered tremendously while she was with the Mason family. As her cousin, Edwin could not let that happen
again, and he wanted the Mason family to compensate her for that.
Edwin made his decision to stand by his cousin, against his friend.
"Did you already know Catelyn is your cousin when we were drinking at the Barricade Club that night?" asked
Cedrick, fist balled tightly as he stared at Edwin who was in his way.
"No." Edwin stretched out an index finger and waved in front of Cedrick. "A little earlier than this."
Cedrick sneered, "I'll give you that then, you son of a b*tch."
Everyone knew about Catelyn's relation to the Atherton family except him.
He blamed himself for immersing himself in investigating Ezekiel's imprisonment and did not think of investigating
Catelyn's background.
Thinking of that, Cedrick was even more annoyed.
At that moment, he caught a whiff of gardenias on Edwin's body. He must have stayed with Catelyn for a long time.
He even knew that she had planted gardenias in the garden of Shoal Villa.
With an annoyed look, Cedrick pushed Edwin away with a flick of his hand and went straight into the dressing room,
where Catelyn was sitting in front of the dressing table with several makeup artists beside her, setting her hair and
helping her to get dressed.
That dress was rather difficult to put on, and she had to change her hairstyle to make it easier to wear the crown.
Sitting still and looking through the mirror, her eyes met Cedrick's.
She saw him barging in aggressively, ignoring all the makeup artists present. He grabbed her waist, lifted her from
the soft chair, placed her on the dressing table, and pressed her against the mirror with his hot body.
Cedrick moved too fast, leaving everyone baffled and making Catelyn dizzy when he suddenly picked her up as she
felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
Then, a domineering kiss was planted on Catelyn’s cherry lips.
With the faint mellow aroma of red wine mixed with strong male hormones, Catelyn's heartbeat grew erratic as she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmstared at the man who suddenly broke into her dressing room.
'How dare he do this in front of so many people?!'
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a make-up artist's horrified expression and struggled fiercely, whimpering, trying to
push him away.
Cedrick did not take her struggles seriously at all. He squeezed her wrist with one hand and pressed it against the
dressing mirror behind her. With the other hand, he held her waist in place, preventing her from moving. It seemed that
he was venting all the emotions that have accumulated these days, trying to give Catelyn a punishment for not telling
her anything.
She did not tell him about being threatened by Draco nor her background as the granddaughter of the Atherton family.
She shouldered everything on her own.
Cedrick felt distressed, regretted, and even unspeakable grief.
He always put her first, but she never once did because she always cared about her father and two children before
anything else when something happened.
