Chapter 131
What?
Cedrick drank from this glass earlier? Catelyn’s facial expression changed. She quickly placed the wine
glass back on the table and stood up awkwardly. When had he placed his wine glass in front of her? “I’m
sorry, I did not know that this was yours. I am going to get you another one.” Catelyn forced an awkward
smile and hastily went to the serving area again. She looked like she could not wait to leave, Cedrick
looked slightly confused. Was she afraid of him? He would not bite?
Edwin watched their interaction at the side and whistled lightly. “Tsk, did you not see Maia’s jealous
expression? Why are you still showing yourself here?” Cedrick seemed to be slightly loosened up but still
said in a cold tone, “Stay away from her.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Her? Which her?” Edwin pretended not to know.
Cedrick did not hesitate and announced, “Catelyn.”
Edwin grinned mischievously, “I thought you were not interested in her.”
“Ollie likes her very much, and I have an obligation to ensure her safety. I would not let anything affect
her job,” Cedrick said coldly, picked up the glass that Catelyn placed on the table, and finished it.
When he placed the glass down again, he noticed the area that his lips touched had faint marks of
Catelyn’s lipstick
His eyes widened.
Cedrick was a hygiene freak, and he would never use a glass that was used by someone else.
Edwin thought his response was amusing. He casually placed his feet on the table, crossed them, and
then said, “You could deny it, but you obviously care about her. Don’t worry. I will not eat her.”
Cedrick was slightly comforted to hear that but still answered sarcastically, “You have never been lacking
women who would die for you, have you?”
“I am innocent, and they were the ones who threw themselves on me. Plus, I am not like you. I don’t
have an illegitimate child popping out of nowhere. Catelyn is not my type either.” Edwin shrugged his
shoulders innocently and suddenly felt the urge to have a cigarette. He reached into his pocket, only to
realize that he had changed his suit today and forgot to bring his cigarette.
He stretched his hand to Cedrick and asked, “Do you have a cigarette?” “Go away,” Cedrick said coldly.
If anyone other than Edwin mentioned ‘illegitimate child’ in front of Cedrick, he would ensure they vanish
from the earth. Edwin laughed. Cedrick really hated facing the truth. “So, have you checked out the
information I sent you? Was it Maia four years ago?” Cedrick’s brows twitched, and he said in a deep
voice, “I thought your men could get something actually useful.” “No way?” Edwin placed his feet down

you a copy of the video.”
Cedrick noticed something was wrong.
He had gone through everything that Edwin sent, and there was no video. There was also nothing useful
to him, and it was all more or less the same as what he found out four years ago.
He suddenly remembered something, and his face looked grim. His gaze fell on Maia, standing across
from him at some distance.
When he returned to his office this afternoon, he remembered Maia appeared to be a little… on edge?
Could she have touched his folders? Maia seemed to have also noticed Cedrick staring at her. Although
his gaze had not felt friendly or welcoming, it did not stop Maia from wanting to get closer to Cedrick She
brought her wine glass and approached, looking affectionate but also a little shy. “Cedrick, you are here. I
have been looking for you.”
