Chapter 125 Catelyn, although initially swayed by Edwin’s offer, decided to decline his offer after hearing
that last part. “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with that.” Edwin’s flirty eyes widened as he said, “There’s no
advantage to you if you decline.” “It’s none of my business who Cedrick decided to have a beef with. If I
accept your offer and don’t fulfill my promise, it’ll be hard for me.” Edwin grinned; gone was his
nonchalant expression. He passed the invitation card to her again and patted her hair like he would with
a little girl. “I was just kidding with you! Lola is just a relative, and I’m not in any position to interfere. I just
happened to hear that Ollie loves you very much, and I’m impressed meeting you today.” Catelyn stared
as Edwin smoothed her hair. Why…did it feel like a pet being groomed? She edged to the side, her
expression calm and collected.
“I’m flattered.”
Edwin was the eldest son of the Atherton family’s branch, but he had left the family when he was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyounger and built his entertainment empire from scratch.
He was almost a modern legend in the industry, and that rightfully earned him every praise.
“Really?” Edwin grinned mischievously again and winked at Catelyn. “Are you interested in getting
signed under my company as an artist? I’m confident in your potential. I could build it for you, and you’d
be winning big awards in the future.” Catelyn immediately smiled and declined. She knew he was not
being serious about it. If she was, however, that would be awkward. It was better for her to just work hard
in her field. Edwin, thankfully, did not insist. He fixed a time for Catelyn to visit the salon tomorrow, which
Catelyn did not decline either.
She still could not afford a proper gown, though.
Edwin, to the public, was the CEO of Worldwide Entertainment Co., but he was also in charge of the
underground influences of Sapphire City. He had his network and spies everywhere throughout the city.
This was also why Cedrick had sent him to investigate whether the girl four years ago was indeed Maia.
The next day, Edwin got his people to send the information to Cedrick before he made his way to the
salon with Catelyn.

Edwin snapped his finger and listed his requests, and everyone in the salon started to help Catelyn with
her look of the night. Catelyn had a good base to start with, while the gown and accessories
complemented her really well.
When she came out of the changing room, Edwin looked at her and was immediately stunned. She
sported a gown that was light blue in color, embellished with pearls around the collar. It surprisingly fitted
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher like a glove and accentuated her tiny waist really well. She wore a matching sapphire blue teardrop-
shaped pendant, complementing her alluring clavicle bone. Her clean, long neck made her look like an
elegant swan. Edwin could faintly smell her perfume, and it was soothing-so close yet so near at the
same time. Edwin had numerous encounters with women from every end of the beauty spectrum, but the
sight of Catelyn made him pause. She looked very much like that woman.
Edwin thought she looked very familiar at first sight.
Now that Catelyn was all glammed up, he was even more amazed.
His cigarette stick was soon burnt to the end.
“Do I look alright, Edwin?” Catelyn asked for his opinion out of courtesy. “Will I be embarrassing you?”
Edwin snapped out of his mini trance, and his lips curved into his usual impish grin. “Gorgeous! No
wonder people say that Sapphire City builds on three families, and the largest of the three, the Clark
family, is known for conquering the world with its women. Miss Clark, your family has good genes.” Every
woman loved complements, and Catelyn was no exception to this rule.
