Chapter 107
Since Cedrick had been living alone in the Mason Estate, there were no available-clothes for Maia to change into. Moreover, she refused to put on those cheap maid outfits.
Just as Maia was debating whether to have someone bring her clothes, she saw Cedrick and Miles returning. She bit her lower lip, feeling a little aggrieved as she thought of her current embarrassed appearance. “Ceddy…”
Cedrick saw Maia in her messy state, her usual elegant appearance completely gone. Her clothes were soaking wet, and her hair was sticking to her cheeks.
Maia looked worse than Catelyn.
Since Albert was way past his prime, it took him a long while to get up from the ground. With a trembling tone in his voice, he quickly instructed the servant to bring some new clothes for Cedrick and Miles.
Cedrick saw a smear of blood on the sharp corner of the coffee table, and his eyes darkened. “What happened just now?” he asked. “Ceddy, is Catelyn really the designer of Ollie’s villa?” Maia looked at Cedrick. “She was bragging about it to me earlier. I only spoke back a little, yet she splashed hot tea on me.”
She wanted to gain Cedrick’s sympathy. However, in her current messed-up state, coupled with that pitiful look of hers, it only left Cedrick feeling even more disgusted.
“She splashed tea on you first?” repeated Cedrick, his tone having more of a dark edge to it. Despite his seemingly calm exterior, he was secretly fuming.
Catelyn was not the type of person to take the initiative in such bold things.
