Chapter 31
Ollie’s eyes widened dazedly as though he had not been able to process what his father had just told
him. :’
Cedrick had Albert bring over the medicine and a glass of warm water as he stood by Ollie’s bedside.
“The doctor said that you are to take this medicine as soon as you wake up.”
Ollie’s dark eyes averted elsewhere. “Are you trying to trick me?”
“Once I finish my medicine, are you going to change your mind and not let me make Aunt Catelyn the
designer for my mansion?”
Ollie stared at his father with doubt. Though he was not even four, he knew that people make strategic
lies.
Edwin, on the other hand, was close to bursting into laughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedrick gave him a cold glare and Edwin barely managed to keep his laughter in, but then he heard
Cedrick asking Ollie, “How do I make you believe that I’m not lying to you, then?”
Ollie straightened his back and puffed his cheeks.
“I want you to call Aunt Catelyn in front of me and invite her to design my mansion for me again.” He
paused and added, “The best way is to inform her company as well, telling them that there will be no
further changes.”
“…” Anger filled Cedrick’s eyes as he snapped, “Don’t push your luck!”
He was the eldest son of the Mason family; how could he allow himself to be threatened by a child who
was not even four?
Ollie pursed his lips and looked away. “Then I’m not taking my medicine.”
“…” Edwin frantically placed his hands over his mouth to stifle his laughter. He
instantly regretted not recording a video of the scene before him. If he did, it would overwrite the world’s
impression of Cedrick.
In the end, Cedrick compromised and had Albert bring him his phone.
Ollie’s heart throbbed as he stared nervously at Cedrick, wondering if his father had truly agreed to make
Catelyn the designer again.
Cedrick realized that he did not know Catelyn’s number and scowled. Just as he was about to order
Albert to find out, he heard Ollie say, “I know Aunt Catelyn’s number.”
Cedrick stared at him suspiciously and thought, ‘How does he know Catelyn Clark’s number?’
As though he had guessed what Cedrick was thinking, Ollie pursed his lips shyly and said, “Aunt
Catelyn’s information is written on the data submitted by BrightGene, and I memorized it.”
Though he was not even four years old, his ability to recognize vocabulary was equivalent to that of a
high schooler; he was especially sensitive to numbers and could memorize most data with just one look.
In BrightGene Group, Catelyn’s phone started ringing as she was working overtime in the office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe answered the call politely even when it was an unknown number and greeted,” Hello, this is Catelyn
Clark speaking.”
Her voice was soft and gentle like the sound of a gently coursing river, and Cedrick immediately found
himself unable to speak.
“Hello?” Catelyn was certain that she had never seen the number before and said in confusion, “I don’t
have this number saved, so I’m going to hang up if you won’t speak.”
In Mason Estate, Cedrick met Ollie’s hopeful eyes and cleared his throat before saying, “I’m Cedrick
Mason.”
Catelyn instantly tensed at the thought that he was calling to take revenge on her earlier action.
“Is there something you need?”
“I’m officially assigning you the project of my son’s mansion. Come over today, I have a few requests that
I need to communicate with you.”
“…” Catelyn was stunned for almost half a minute. “But didn’t you say that I’m not qualified?”
Cedrick’s lips curled into a cold sneer as he naturally assumed that Catelyn was purposely playing hard-
to-get. He glanced impatiently at Ollie and decided to put up with her.
