Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 819

Chapter 819

"It’s not like that! You're not incompetent. I was the one who was too cowardly. It’s my fault for not telling you. Please don't blame yourself like this..." Catelyn choked and put her hand on Cedrick, wanting to hug him.

However, Cedrick broke her embrace expressionlessly, looking indifferent like a sculpture.

"I'll get your father back."

After speaking, Cedrick turned around and left. If he stayed any longer, he might be unable to control himself and bring Catelyn home by force.

The cold wind whistled past. Catelyn stood in front of the stone steps, staring blankly at Cedrick's back, slowly disappearing.

Tears rolled down her cheek.

Her sense of reasoning overcame her impulse, and she did not go after him. Catelyn just persuaded herself to be patient and wait a little longer. As long as old Madam Atherton acknowledges her as her granddaughter, this problem will all be solved easily.

Catelyn's whole body seemed to be drained of energy at the moment, she sat weakly on the stone steps, hugging her knees tightly and burying her face in her own embrace, allowing the tears to fall and wet her knees...

Later, at the Barricade club.

Cedrick was very drunk, all alone in the private room by himself. When Edwin entered the room, the smell of alcohol and tobacco in the air was so strong it almost made him puke.

Cedrick was seen holding a bottle of wine in his hand, which he drank straight from it.

Edwin raised his eyebrows. It was a rare sight to see Cedrick lose himself like this, especially with such heavy drinking, as if his sanity was all gone.

Feeling unable to stand the sight of this, Edwin walked in front of Cedrick and kicked his foot, "stop drinking! My wife is at home, taking good care of your wife. No one will ever feel sorry for you drinking like this," he said to Cedrick.

Cedrick sat lazily on the dark leather sofa. "Maybe she won't even feel sad when I die."

The word 'die¹ slightly triggered Edwin. He looked at Cedrick with a strange expression on his face. "I've never seen you give up on yourself like this. Is this all because of the breakup with Catelyn?"

Cedrick just smiled mockingly back at Edwin. He sullenly picked up another bottle of hard liquor and poured it into his mouth. The alcohol overflowed and stained his clothes a little.

Edwin sat beside him, took out a cigarette, and habitually went looking for a lighter in his pocket.

It suddenly occurred to him that he and Joanne were planning to have a child.

Frowning, Edwin threw the cigarette into the ashtray and glanced at Cedrick. "Aren't you gonna find out the reason for Catelyn breaking up with you?"

"She doesn't think I can protect her and her father," said Cedrick. "Her father?" Edwin was startled. "Isn't Ezekiel already dead?"

"Not only did he not die, but he's currently in a certain prison," replied Cedrick. His dilated pupils stared at the dark ceiling above him, and the colorful lights in the private room seemed to be going around in circles incessantly.
