Chapter 128
The Ferrare door opened, and Edwin stepped out. He then opened the passenger seat door and invited
Catelyn out like a gentleman.
Catelyn stood on her ten centimeters tall heels and smiled sweetly while standing next to Edwin.
On the other hand, the Mercedis Maybach’s door opened, and Cedrick held Maia’s hand while they
exited. They also looked like a perfect pair, with Maia wearing a fiery red gown that brought out her figure
while standing next to the dashing Cedrick
Her black hair was tied in a high bun with a small strand dangling casually by her ear. The reporters were
all ready by the door of the hotel.
Ka-chick! Ka-chick!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe cameras flashed incessantly, more dramatic than the Met Gala.
“Oh my goodness! Look! It’s Cedrick Mason and Maia Clark!”
“That pair must be Edwin Atherton with his new girlfriend!”
“This dinner must be such an important one. All the important people of Sapphire City are here…”
“I heard that Cedrick never liked to show up at public events. This time, he is even willing to be
photographed by the reporters! It must be Maia’s request. Look at them. They look so cute together!”
Maia grinned from ear to ear after hearing all these compliments.
Only she could be the woman standing next to Cedrick!
However, her confident smile faded as soon as she saw Catelyn next to Edwin. Her expressions were
frozen, and her pupils constricted.
She?
When did she hook up with Edwin?
If she met Cedrick later, would Cedrick recognize her? No, she should not be worrying so much. Cedrick
might not even know that the woman was Catelyn. How would he even recognize her? Maia then
straightened her back and regained her confident posture. Catelyn’s gazes crossed with Maia’s. Maia,
who was always so full of herself in her memory, was now standing demurely next to Cedrick It was just
like what the reporters said. They looked so good together.
Catelyn turned and looked away. “Edwin, shall we?”
“Sure.”
Edwin smiled lightly, and the two walked on the red carpet, hand in hand, to enter the ballroom. Cedrick’s
gaze followed them as they interacted intimately. Catelyn was wearing a gown with a rather low cut at the
front. Maia was relieved to see Catelyn leaving. However, she felt the air around them cooling down

He turned to look at her and said, “Let’s go inside.” Maia smiled and nodded, not thinking anything more.
She snuggled into Cedrick’s chest. “It feels a little cold tonight. I am wearing a gown with my shoulders
exposed and feeling a little
cold.”
Cedrick was emotionless. “You’d feel warm once we are inside.”
Was he just pretending to not understand it, or was he that dense? Every time Maia tried to hint him to
take a step closer, he would easily divert the conversation to something else. The two passed the
fountain in the hotel lobby and strode to the ballroom. The ballroom was lavishly decorated, and on the
long table in the middle were layers of champagne glasses, surrounded by colorful small bites and
snacks. Catelyn and Edwin became the center of attention as soon as they went in. Maia and Cedrick
followed. Naturally, people started to make comparisons between the two couples.
