Chapter 50 Catelyn hung up without a second thought and sighed a long breath of relief, feeling as
though she had somehow managed to vent the frustration she felt because of Cedrick
It was not after she hung up that she noticed she had missed a lot of calls from Miles and Stella.
She had, after all, stayed out overnight and came home in a different set of clothes. Upon her arrival,
Stella immediately recognized that Catelyn was wearing the latest products of a certain luxury brand she
had seen in a magazine, so she confronted Catelyn. “I saw a luxury car dropping you off just now. Who’s
that man? Is he trying to date you? Did you spend the night with him? You even changed to a different
set of clothes.”
Catelyn immediately mentioned John in hopes of stopping Stella from asking more questions, and as
expected, Stella’s expression changed as a guilty chuckle escaped her. “So what did John say? When is
the deadline for me to pay him back? Is he going to come looking for trouble?” Catelyn took a deep
breath to suppress the disappointment and anger she felt. “Mom, don’t you think this whole thing seems

“Odd?” Stella mumbled thoughtfully, “I don’t think so. A friend of mine said she found a new place for a
poker game, and then… Wait, are you saying that someone set me up?” “When I went to find John Reed
to settle the payment details, it was Jamie Mason who showed
up.”
‘John Reed. Jamie Mason… Stella thought back to the way she kept winning in the poker game before
starting to lose at every single game toward the end. Even a fool would realize that
something was wrong.
Stella gritted her teeth and cursed, “Curse that Jamie! It wasn’t enough for him to mess with you four
years ago, and now he’s come to set me up!” Catelyn knew that there was no point crying over spilled
milk, so she could only tell Stella to stop gambling
Stella agreed, though Catelyn felt defeated and exhausted at Stella’s half-hearted response. However,
Stella was her elder, so she had to know where to stop to avoid hurting Stella’s feelings.
After a period of consistent hard work, along with the original design and Anne’s help, Catelyn’s first draft
of the mansion was finally completed.
Considering the awkward night she spent with Cedrick, she took the initiative to contact the butler Albert
and proposed to hand him the draft.
Albert knew how much Ollie had been looking forward to seeing Catelyn’s design and immediately
agreed.
Catelyn sighed a breath of relief and sent the draft to Albert’s email address. However, Albert was too old
to catch up with the latest trends and technologies, as even his phone was still an old model, so the
email address was naturally Ollie’s.
Ding!
Ollie received the first draft of the design Catelyn sent. As expected of an achieved student of
architecture, each data and advice was marked in detail. Though there were plenty that Ollie could not
understand, he instinctively knew that Catelyn was the best.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe stared intently at the screen, unwilling to look away for even one second. Cedrick returned home from
the gathering, and Albert reported everything that Ollie did that day. Albert also mentioned that Catelyn
had submitted her design, and Cedrick’s expression darkened thoughtfully.
He went to the child’s room and saw Ollie sitting on a tall chair with his back toward the door, the boy
staring dazedly at the computer screen.
He did not even notice when Cedrick came and stood behind him.
Cedrick glanced at the computer screen and saw the draft that Catelyn had designed.
Apart from complicated amendments, her designs for the rooms, the balcony, the swimming pool, the
lounging area, and the entertainment area had been tailored and designed with full consideration of his
requests.
Ollie marked down every single detail and smiled when he thought of the fact that Catelyn was the one
who designed it.
