Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 701

Chapter 701

Quinn felt slightly reassured after hearing Lola’s words- only slightly, though. "I'm just so scared that she’ll find out about Catelyn..." she muttered hesitantly.

Lola had thought of that as well and sneered. "Which is why we need to hurry and make that old hag believe that you’re her granddaughter before she suspects anything!"

’’I... Of course I believe you, Miss Atherton. If I can become a lady of the Atherton family, I'll repay you! Be it Catelyn or anyone who has ever crossed you, I’ll make sure they all pay dearly!"

Quinn remained dazed and stood still before the window of the hospital corridor for quite a while after ending the call.

Though Lola had agreed to help her, she...

Lola was right; there had to be a risk in seeking to better one's position. Quinn had nothing else to lose, so she was not afraid to gamble. She wanted to be the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton, and that position belonged to her.

She grabbed onto the phoenix bracelet and put it on. The golden bracelet looked glorious on her fair skin, almost as though the bracelet was tailor-made to be worn by her.

Hypnotized by its beauty, Quinn was determined to hold onto it. To be safe, she had to make sure that Catelyn was occupied so that she would not have any contact with Granny Atherton.

The sky slowly turned dark, and Catelyn received a call at night. Cedrick informed her that Javier was back and asked if she wanted to join his welcome party.

Shortly after Catelyn had run away, Cedrick transferred Javier to the neighboring city to start a new branch. As soon as Javier completed his mission, he begged Cedrick to bring him back because he was, quote, 'bored out of his mind'.

He started spending most of his time in bars and clubs as soon as he was back.

Sick of being asked over and over again, Cedrick eventually agreed to go have a drink with him.

Catelyn did not attend the party because it was late, and she wanted to stay with the children. Apart from that, she knew that Javier was bound to invite a lot of friends, so she would rather not be involved in all the drama.

If Javier wanted a welcome party, she could cook for him the next day.

When Javier heard what Catelyn said from Cedrick, he yelled, "My future cousin-in-law is the best!"

He wanted to visit Cedrick's house, but Cedrick never allowed him the chance to do so.

Later that night, the group arrived at the Barricade Club.

Among Javier's group of friends, Cedrick was the oldest and most mature. Seeing how reckless the others were, he did not want to take them to his private room in the club and decided to reserve a table in the hall instead.
