Chapter 139 Maia realized that she got carried away by her own jealousy. She gritted her teeth. How
could she be so impatient! However, Maia could not keep herself calm at the thought of Catelyn probably
being the woman who replaced her four years ago. She just wished that Catelyn would stay away from
Cedrick!
Maia picked her skirt up, wanting to follow up with Cedrick She only took a few steps forward when
suddenly…
“Ms. Clark?” said a young man as he came over to Maia.
He smiled friendly at her, wanting to start a conversation. Maia regained her sense of reason, but there
was still a hint of irritability in her tone. “Sorry, I’m busy.”
The man was burly, about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a delicate and expensive-looking watch, looking
really classy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder normal circumstances, Maia would be in the mood to socialize. However, she could care less
about him at that moment.
“Wait a minute.” The man went after her, still smiling, “Mai, don’t you remember me?”
The man spoke softly, looking at Maia obsessively. Maia frowned, wanting to leave, but the man blocked
her path. She raised her eyes and looked at him.
He seemed a little familiar, but after much thought, Maia still could not recall his name…
“Sorry, I really can’t remember you,” she said. The man showed a disappointed expression, then took out
a business card and handed it to Maia. “Maybe I kept a too low profile. Let’s get to know each other.
Hello, my name is Richard Kingsley. We both used to be from the same high school, and we were
classmates as well. And … I also used to have a crush on you,” he said. When Maia heard the man’s
name, she lowered her eyes and scanned the business card.
Richard Kingsley, Marketing Director of Kingsley Group. “Are you from the Kingsley family?” Maia could
not help but glance at him. Kingsley was one of the Big Four Families.
The man’s eyes twinkled, and he nodded continuously. “Yes, the current head of the Kingsley Family and
my father are cousins. I know that you are now Cedrick’s fiancee, but I have no ill intentions. I just hope
to be friends.”
“I will keep the business card,” said Maia with a smile, but she actually did not take him to heart at all.
The Kingsley Family was indeed very powerful, but this man, Richard, is not a legitimate heir anyway.
How can he be compared with Cedrick?
“Perhaps when there’s a chance, shall we go out for a round of coffee?” asked Richard excitedly.
Maia nodded slightly in response. She then looked around and could not find Cedrick!
How annoying! It’s all Richard’s fault!
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, since the banquet had just started, most of the girls were out there busy
dancing. It was pretty quiet there for the moment. Catelyn was in the cubicle alone. Suddenly, the sound

soothing voice of Lori Schmidt was heard.
Immediately afterward, Louella responded, “I know, but I saw Jamie could not keep his eyes away from
Catelyn the whole night. I don’t know what to do.” Queenie hurriedly said, “Don’t overthink it. How could
you compare yourself with Catelyn? I have seen her dress before in a magazine. It was a high-end
custom set that cost millions, and she is broke. Where did she get the money to buy the dress?”
“That’s right. I won’t allow Jamie to marry this kind of woman…”
Louella finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her future in-laws say that. As long as they were
on her side, she should not need to be worried about Catelyn.
After all, she also was pregnant with his child. The moment Louella raised her eyes, she saw a familiar
figure coming out of a cubicle in the mirror in front of her. Her expression froze immediately. She looked
back subconsciously, and it was Catelyn!
