Chapter 271 Was Cedrick alright at the club?
Catelyn shook her head. Even if Lola wanted to harm Cedrick, knowing his ability, she could not even do
anything to him.
Night fell, and it was misty and drizzling. Catelyn, upon taking her son home from school, went next door
to check up on Joanne.
She was not home.
Looking at the time, it was almost 8 p.m.
Catelyn decided to call Joanne, yet no one answered. Worried that something might have happened to
Joanne, Catelyn called a car-hailing service
and went to the Barricade Club.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were not many people around the clubhouse, probably due to the rainy weather.
Catelyn somehow got the number of the private room where Joanne was, which happened to be on the
top floor and was next to Cedrick’s private room at 6809.
The people in the entertainment industry were pretty extravagant, and it was normal for the likes of them
to book such a private room.
Catelyn felt her heart sinking in worry for Joanne, thus without hesitation, she hurriedly looked for her.
She pretended to be in the wrong private room and accidentally pushed the door in. “I’m sorry, excuse
me…” she muttered.
She looked around the room and was instantly stunned.
The light in the private room was as bright as day, and she saw Cedrick sitting on a sofa by the window.
Around him were several couples of men and women, some of which she was acquainted with.
Other than Edwin Atherton, Benjamin Anderson, and Mister Lewis, there were a few more middle-aged
men whom Catelyn had never met before. However, she could recognize them vaguely from magazines,
and they seemed to be some famous people in Sapphire City. Edwin and several men were sitting on the
sofa with women around their arms, all dressed in revealing clothes. Catelyn had often seen these
women’s faces on the television, too. One of them was Alice Morgan, a girl that Catelyn had heard
Joanne complain about countless times.
As Catelyn entered the room, all eyes fell on her instantly.
“We’re in a private party. Who let you in? Get out!” Alice raised her hand and pointed at Catelyn.
It seemed that Joanne was not in the room.
The waiter earlier had told Catelyn the private room number, and this was the room she was told. There
were so many celebrities here, so where else could Joanne be?

“Hey, I’m talking to you! Are you listening to me?” snapped Alice as she glared at Catelyn, seeing that
she was ignoring her.
Catelyn was somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by so many people. Since Joanne was not here, it
would be meaningless for her to stay.
She hesitated to ask Edwin if he knew about Joanne’s whereabouts.
Cedrick gazed at Catelyn.
She was just wearing a casual shirt jacket with her hair tied up into a bun, looking as if she had just come
out of college.
Cedrick crushed the cigarette butt on the ashtray and whispered to the clamoring Alice, “She’s with me.”
