Chapter 180 The young servant got up from the ground in embarrassment and nodded repeatedly.
Several burly bodyguards rushed over after receiving the order.
The bodyguards stood at the door and cast dark shadows around them in their black uniform with a
nameplate pinned to the neckline, sending off an oppressive aura.
However, Maia had not taken these people seriously at all.
The more her anger burned, the more she pretended to be casually fiddling with the ring on her middle
finger. “I heard that Mr. Lewis invited Master Cedrick to a meal. Why am I, the real fiance, treated like I’m
an outsider?”
Mr. Lewis, who was originally boiling with anger, suddenly showed a startled face. “You… you are Master
Cedrick’s real fiance?”
After a pause, he asked Catelyn in disbelief and asked, “Then who are you?”
“Mr. Lewis, don’t you know her? She’s my distant cousin, Catelyn Clark.”
Without waiting for Catelyn’s explanation, Maia raised her eyebrows lazily and said calmly,” Master
Cedrick, it looks like Mr. Lewis has mistaken me for someone else. Why don’t you introduce everyone to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim again?”
Mr. Lewis’s slightly plump face was filled with anger again. “Aren’t you Master Cedrick’s fiance?”
Catelyn was dumbfounded. Her beautiful eyelashes raised as she said, “When did I say that I’m his
fiance?”
The entire atmosphere had gone awkward in that instant.
Mr. Lewis felt that he had been deceived!
“Since you’re not Master Cedrick’s fiance, then why are you with him in the corridor…”
Before Mr. Lewis could finish his rant, he received a stern look from Cedrick.
He swallowed the last half of the sentence silently.
Cedrick tapped his slender fingers on the table. His kingly aura was natural without the need to exert
power intentionally. “Our engagement has been terminated. It seems that you didn’t take that matter to
heart?”
Maia stared at Catelyn with great intensity.
What did she and Master Cedrick do in the corridor?..
Why did Cedrick not let Mr. Lewis finish?
Such realization made Maia fuming hot with anger.
She knew that Cedrick would be more convinced with a soft approach instead of the hard one. Maia bit
her lower lip, ignoring the presence of outsiders, and showed a wronged look.
“Master Cedrick, I know that I was being too impulsive at the wine reception that day, but I really don’t
want to break off the engagement with you. I just don’t want my fiance to keep
looking at other women. What you said that day was just a joke, right? Let’s not terminate the
engagement…”
While speaking, she gathered her skirt and walked to Cedrick’s side, reaching out to hug his arm, acting
like a spoiled child.
Inadvertently, she happened to see a scarlet hue under his collar!
Her expression was instantly frozen with icy frost!
Cedrick stood up just before she could come in contact with him and avoided her touch.
He extended his fingers slowly to straighten up the hem of his shirt and said coldly, “Since you won’t take
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe initiative to speak to the Clark’s elders, I’ll go personally tomorrow. I’ll foot the bill for your order in the
restaurant tonight. You can go now.”
Maia’s nails sank into the palm of her hand, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
“We’ve been together for four years. Even if we’re not deeply in love, we should have feelings for each
other by now. Do you have to be so heartless?”
Cedrick looked at her indifferently. His lips slightly opened and he said, “Isn’t all this what you asked for?”
Maia’s pretty face flushed, and it turned green and pale for a moment.
At that time, she took the initiative to say that she wanted to break off the marriage just as a threat to
him. It was not her heart’s true desire at all!
“Mr. Lewis, I’m sorry for ruining the dinner with such a joke. I’m afraid this dinner will end here today. I’ll
invite you for a meal another day.” Cedrick’s eyes were still cold. His voice was clear and steadfast,
hitting people’s hearts with every word he spoke.
Mr. Lewis bent down, and his wrinkled face was full of astonishment. He nodded again and
again.
“You’re being too polite, Master Cedrick.” With an expressionless face, Cedrick grabbed Catelyn, and
they left together.
