Chapter 295 Catelyn leaned back against her seat innocently and batted her eyes at Cedrick. “Taste
good?” Cedrick’s eyes gleamed as though he tried to refrain from certain urges. After a while, he gritted
out, “I’ll make you pay tonight!” “…” Catelyn sensed that she had provoked something other than anger
within him. All things aside, she realized that she had finally appeased his anger.
She had to put out the fire that her son had lit. The life of a mother was hard.
There was already a crowd in the meeting hall owned by Chandier Jewelry by the time Catelyn arrived.
Every contestant was assigned a number, and Catelyn was assigned number 17.
She waited patiently below the stage and occasionally chatted with the other contestants sitting next to
her. Because the waiting time was longer than expected, Chandier Jewelry had prepared bottles of water
for all the contestants.

Catelyn’s turn, she thanked the woman immediately.
She did not like the coffee Cedrick bought in the morning, so the bottle of water came just in time to ease
her thirst.
Time ticked by and the twelfth candidate was called.
Catelyn suddenly felt a stomachache stirring. She had been trying to hold it in, but as time went by, her
stomach hurt to the point that beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Her stomach even began
rumbling, and she could no longer stand it.
After apologizing to the girl sitting next to her, Catelyn walked past her and went straight to the bathroom.
Catelyn had not expected to have diarrhea at such an important time when she had not had any
unhygienic food lately.
She sat on the toilet with a hand cradled on her abdomen in pain.
She sank into thoughts as she tried to figure out what had happened to her, until she started questioning
whether it was caused by the pancakes Cedrick bought her.
Remembering Cedrick’s tendency of taking revenge on people who crossed him, she shuddered at the
possibility that he might have done it.
However, Cedrick also knew that today was the final contest and would not actually submit her to such a
horrible prank.
She wrote a message and sent it to Cedrick.
At that moment, Cedrick was attending a meeting with the upper management of Mason Group as there
was a recent project for Sapphire City Center. It was the main focus for Mason Group for the later half of
the year and they were determined to gain control over it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as a heated discussion took place, Cedrick’s private phone rang. He frowned and was about to turn
his phone off when he noticed that the message was from Catelyn. [Do you have a stomachache?]
Cedrick stared at the screen and tapped on it swiftly to reply. (No. Do you?]
Catelyn saw his reply, and for some reason, she was willing to believe him as she did not think of him as
someone who would not dare to admit to what he did.
She had reached the conclusion that she had accidentally consumed something that caused the
stomachache. (Catelyn: A bit, but I’m fine. I won’t take you away from your work now.] Catelyn quickly
silenced her phone afterward.
After spending some more time on the toilet, she stumbled outside and glanced at her own reflection in
the bathroom mirror, only to find her face and lips pale to the point that they looked transparent. She had
to present her design later on stage, and she could not show up looking this way!
