Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556

To Catelyn, Maia had always been a manipulative woman.

Catelyn slowly straightened herself as she looked at the old man and smiled. "Yes. It's hard for a single mother to raise children, so please bear with me."

The old man was irritated by her emotionless reply as his face sank.

"You know how these two children were conceived. The Mason family didn't know the baby's existence before, but now we do. You're no longer qualified to raise them!"

Still, Catelyn was not infuriated by his scornful speech.

"You can't just use blood ties as an excuse to take them away from me. I can go to any law firm for notarization if you don't believe me. No matter what happens in the future, I won't take the assets of the Mason family."

"But Mai is pregnant! who knows if you won't encourage your son to snatch the wealth that belongs to Mai's child? I won't allow my great-grandson, the descendant of the Mason family, to become a puppet at your disposal!"

Draco's voice intensified darkly over time.

From Catelyn's point of view, Draco and Cedrick were much alike in their demeanor, she found it grueling to get along with them.

She did not answer right away but looked at Maia's flat belly.

If what Cedrick had said that night was real, that he never touched Maia, no one could be certain that the infant in Maia's belly was the Mason family's future heir.

Noticing that Catelyn's eyes were falling on her belly, Maia smiled warmly and generously without even the slightest guilt in her heart. "Cat, don't worry. I'm an aunt of the two children after all. I'll love them as much as my children in the future."

Maia took out a check with numbers written on it from her purse while she spoke.

"This is just a small gift from me. You've worked hard to give the children a healthy growing environment. If you feel this isn't enough, shout a number and you'll have it. Take it as compensation for the children."

'A compensation for my children?' Catelyn found that sarcastically hilarious.

She slowly reached for the check and looked at it calmly.

Maia was overjoyed when she saw her accepting the check. 'You have no choice when the old man is here! Everything will soon be fine after I deal with Cedrick! ' she cheered internally.

Eason was shocked when he saw the scene. 'Catelyn wants to take the money and leave like that? If Master Cedrick woke up and heard about her decision, would he get angry again and capture her?'

However...

Rip!

Catelyn slowly tore the billion-dollar check to shreds and threw them into the trash can unblinkingly. "Do you think this is some sort of trade? Do you think I'd sell my sons as items?"

"You — " Maia then bit her lower lip in an attempt to appear feeble in front of Draco. "Grandpa, it seems that Catelyn isn't satisfied with the money you offer. I'm afraid she'd go pestering Ceddy..."
