Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler

Chapter 531

Cedrick's guards pulled out their guns too, and it felt as though it was seconds away from an ugly fight.

Ollie's beautiful eyes constricted, and he regretted it a little.

He just wanted to rescue Mummy.

He did not want Cedrick to be in confrontation with the local authorities.

"Father, please don't resist anymore. This is Franche, not Sapphire City. You can't do things as you wish here," the

little one said quickly and threw Eason a look.

Eason received the signal and went to Cedrick to whisper something in his ears.

However, Cedrick did not take them seriously.

"You want the hostage? Try me. See if you can get her out today!"

As soon as Cedrick finished his sentence, they all heard a commotion coming from inside. It sounded like someone

had broken the door. Then, the door opened, and Catelyn stumbled out in her pajamas.

When the police arrived, Cedrick had locked Catelyn up in the master bedroom. He did not expect her to have

broken the door from inside!

Cedrick's face sank when he saw Catelyn running out. "Catelyn, why are you out? Get back in!"

Catelyn ignored him and saw Ollie immediately.

It had been a few days since she last saw him. She pulled the little one right into her arms and said, "Ollie."

She kissed his forehead, feeling like she was hugging her whole world.

Ollie sniffed the faint floral scent on his mother. He said lovingly, " Mummy, Mummy."

"I'm sorry, I needed you to come and rescue me."

"I should be the one saying sorry. We were late." Ollie grabbed Catelyn's clothes affectionately. He looked so small

and vulnerable, pouting his lips, looking innocent.

Catelyn felt sad when she saw how he was acting.

If it were not for Cedrick who grounded her, she would not be separated from her son for so long.

She turned and said to the police officer, "Sir, I was indeed detained illegally by this man here. Thank you for

rescuing me."

That one sentence destined Cedrick's crime and immediately made him the center of attention.

"Sir, please follow us to the police station."

His dark eyes looked even darker, but he was not losing his temper. Instead, he laughed and looked straight at

Catelyn. "Catelyn, I can apologize to you when we get back, and we can pretend that nothing happened tonight."

"Do you think I want your apology? Cedrick, stop acting so condescending. I am no longer the eighteen-year-old girl

from years ago. I will not just buy into your sweet words!"

Catelyn looked at him scornfully and stood defiantly behind George.

This was her first time meeting George ever since they parted ways at the holiday resort.

Catelyn felt guilty when she saw George.

It was because of her that Cedrick picked on George and his family.

"George, regarding your family's wood factory, I am really sorry about it..."

"Don't worry about it. After all, my parents are old, and I have long thought about convincing them to close down

the factory." George smiled gently, without the slightest hint of reluctance.

She was only wearing thin pajamas, so George took off his coat slowly and placed it over her shoulders.

Catelyn was indeed feeling a little cold, hence she did not decline his kind gesture as well.

Cedrick was obviously unhappy when he saw that. It seemed like an overly lovey-dovey interaction to him. His dark

eyes narrowed, and his face was starting to look dangerous. Were all of them treating him as though he was not

there?

His aura suddenly became deadly, and even the police officers were a little intimidated.

"Mister Mason, please follow us back to the police station."

Cedrick would not give in so easily. He snickered, "Do you think I would go so easily?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, the security guards surrounded him, ready to attack.

"Master Cedrick!" Eason was worried that Cedrick would impulsively attempt to fight for the hostage from the

police, so he consoled, "As long as Master Ollie is still under your custody, Miss Clark could not go far. Even if she

could walk out of this house, she could not leave Franche."

Cedrick clenched his fist, and his lips were bitten pale.

He had to watch her being taken away by George...

"There are more chances in the future, Master Cedrick. If this escalated further, and if Grandpa Mason hears about

it, he will not approve of this. More importantly, perhaps Nine would even take advantage of the situation!"

Eason quickly persuaded, and secretly gave Ollie a signal to ask him to leave.

Ollie immediately understood the signal but was also concerned that this would turn ugly. After all, this was a

residential building!

George was panicking slightly too.

He quickly brought the mother and son along, attempting to leave among the guards and police officers in the

confrontation.

"Catelyn, don't you dare to leave with George!" Cedrick's dark voice penetrated through the air.

Catelyn pursed her lips and took one deep breath. She finally blurted out all the things that she had long kept within

her heart.

"Perhaps I should have returned you the engagement ring when we were on the cruise! You kept saying that it was

for my own good. Is hurting my friend part of it? I had never mentioned

George and his family. That does not mean that I had never minded it. I just wanted to keep some distance from

him so that he would not hurt anymore!"

"Cedrick Mason, your detention this time has made one thing crystal clear to me."

"We are not suited for each other."

"I will be applying for a restraining order. Stay away from me."

Catelyn then pulled George and Ollie away and left without hesitation.

Cedrick moved slightly, but the policewoman's gun was already pointed at his temple.

Cedrick only took one cold glance at the policewoman and said, "I remember you."

"There are many criminals that remember me every year, not just you," the policewoman said steadily.

Cedrick snickered. Catelyn, Ollie, and George disappeared at the end of the corridor. He turned to look at Eason.

Even though he did not say a single word, Eason understood his intention.

He sent some people to follow Catelyn, and to locate their destination.

Even if they could get away under the police's protection today, could they hide away forever?

The prey and predator game had just started.

Catelyn sat in George's car and was hugging Ollie tightly in her arms.

She could see her residential building diminishing in the rearview mirror. Even though she had temporarily escaped,

she still felt uneasy deep down.

"Mummy, your phone." Ollie took out her phone from his bag and returned it to her.

Catelyn took one look at it. It had a lot of missed calls and notifications from social media. She had no extra

capacity to care at the moment.

"George, do you think Cedrick would let this slide?"

George shook his head and said, "Cedrick had just arrived in Franche but had already expanded his network pretty

fast. I think... he had already sent someone to stalk us."

"No, I cannot be captured back again."

If she got caught again, Catelyn could not imagine where else
