Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 881

Chapter 881

Unable to believe what she had just heard, Sylvie warily asked, "Are you sure about that?"

The tense bodyguard feebly replied, "Yes, Ma'am. You know I won't dare lie to you."

'Eugene took Catelyn? What does he want to do?'

Not wasting time, Sylvie called Eugene, but the call never went through. Instead, a few minutes later, an unknown number rang Sylvie's phone.

She answered.

Before she could speak, Eugene's voice came from the other end, his voice feigning sympathy, "You rarely call me on your initiative. What's the matter?"

"Where are you now?" said Sylvie, masking her worries.

"Why, I'm doing something outside, of course. Where else would I be?"

"Come back now. There's a very important project in the company that I need to explain to you." Sylvie lowered her voice, not wanting to trigger him and wanting to lure him to lower his guard.

"Hahaha!" cackled Eugene sardonically. "I've been in the Atherton family for so many years, and this is the first time you've assigned me an important project, Mom! Wouldn't you rather believe in an outsider than me, like you always did?"

Edwin left the Atherton family five years ago and founded Worldwide Entertainment Co. Sylvie did not trust her own sons, Eugene and Harry, and promoted the son of her assistant who had been with her for many years instead.

This, to Eugene, was a great shame.

"I was hoping that I could train more talented youths to assist you and your brothers in the future when you two are in charge of the company," explained Sylvie, her voice unwavering. "A knight could never bear the weight of the throne. You know that."

Knowing Sylvie was just lying, Eugene sneered, But I'm preparing to welcome an important guest right now, so I don't have time to go back to the company."

Sylvie's heart skipped a beat. This guest of his...had to be Catelyn!

"The assignment of the project won't take too much of your time. Besides, you're one of the important shareholders in the Atherton family. You'll be in charge of the family when I leave-"

"You don't have to be high-sounding here," interjected Eugene curtly, his voice heavily dosed with mockery. "I am your son-your biological son!

Why can Sissy get one-third of the inheritance while I only have one-fifth, even though she's been dead for years?! You're too biased!"

Sylvie was stunned for a moment before she snapped, her voice shrill," Have you peeked at my will?!"

"Hmph. Otherwise, I wouldn't know that you only planned to spare me some changes!"

Sylvie finally understood why Eugene brought Catelyn away all of a sudden.
