Chapter 834
"Move, or I'll make you," Cedrick threatened the bodyguard.
Although the bodyguard was intimidated by this taunt, he remained loyal to his duty. "I really can't let you in, Sir."
Cedrick sneered and was about to roll up his sleeve when the door to the dressing room suddenly opened.
"Tsk! Don't shed blood at Catelyn's reunion banquet, Ced. It's not auspicious." Edwin propped himself on the door with one arm, looking at Cedrick with a delighted half-smile as though reveling in his misfortune.
Cedrick stared at him coldly and arrogantly. "I'll have a word with you later. Where's Catelyn?"
"Cat's reunion banquet is about to start. It's not good to make the guests wait." The subtext in his words was obvious: he did not want Cedrick and Catelyn to meet at this point.
If Catelyn were not his aunt's daughter, Edwin would have allowed Cedrick to get his wife back.
However, the situation was different.
Catelyn suffered tremendously while she was with the Mason family. As her cousin, Edwin could not let that happen again, and he wanted the Mason family to compensate her for that.
Edwin made his decision to stand by his cousin, against his friend.
"Did you already know Catelyn is your cousin when we were drinking at the Barricade Club that night?" asked Cedrick, fist balled tightly as he stared at Edwin who was in his way.
"No." Edwin stretched out an index finger and waved in front of Cedrick. "A little earlier than this."
Cedrick sneered, "I'll give you that then, you son of a b*tch."
Everyone knew about Catelyn's relation to the Atherton family except him.
He blamed himself for immersing himself in investigating Ezekiel's imprisonment and did not think of investigating Catelyn's background.
Thinking of that, Cedrick was even more annoyed.
At that moment, he caught a whiff of gardenias on Edwin's body. He must have stayed with Catelyn for a long time. He even knew that she had planted gardenias in the garden of Shoal Villa.
With an annoyed look, Cedrick pushed Edwin away with a flick of his hand and went straight into the dressing room, where Catelyn was sitting in front of the dressing table with several makeup artists beside her, setting her hair and helping her to get dressed.
That dress was rather difficult to put on, and she had to change her hairstyle to make it easier to wear the crown. Sitting still and looking through the mirror, her eyes met Cedrick's.
She saw him barging in aggressively, ignoring all the makeup artists present. He grabbed her waist, lifted her from the soft chair, placed her on the dressing table, and pressed her against the mirror with his hot body.
Cedrick moved too fast, leaving everyone baffled and making Catelyn dizzy when he suddenly picked her up as she felt a strong sense of weightlessness.
Then, a domineering kiss was planted on Catelyn’s cherry lips.
