Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 44

Chapter 44 Catelyn could not move with Jamie pinning her down, and tears began welling up in her eyes from the pain. Even after all the effort, she still could not break free. Under the hypnotizing beams of light above her, Catelyn’s eyes reddened as cold air fanned her skin, making her shiver. ‘Help…she internally pleaded. ‘Somebody, help me!’ Her knees were forced apart as Jamie’s devilish face zoomed in before her eyes. ‘No… No! Fear took her breath away, and her beautiful face flushed as she came close to passing out.

Just then… Crash! A bottle of red wine slammed against Jamie’s head, and blood trickled down Jamie’s head along with the wine. Startled, the veins on his forehead popped as Jamie got up from Catelyn while covering his wounded head with his hand. “How dare you… U-Uncle..?” Jamie immediately stopped. He completely froze when he turned to see the man standing before him so horrifyingly. His pupils contracted as he was taken by surprise that Cedrick was the one who hit him. Why was he here? Catelyn took the opportunity to escape from Jamie’s grip and crawled toward the corner to curl into a ball. The alcohol began to get to her head, and her mind started to stray; she could not see clearly, so she could only hide in the corner as she frantically grabbed onto her clothes in an attempt to cover up her skin. Tears streamed down her face, and she could not help but tremble in fear. Cedrick’s towering figure stood under the blinding chandelier, his hair slightly disheveled as his eagle-like eyes locked onto Catelyn.

displayed back when she was with Cedrick in the other room. Anger boiled within him until it reached his eyes. He took off his jacket and threw it toward Catelyn, to which she responded with a gaze showing her silent gratitude. She wanted to thank him, but under the influence of the alcohol, she could only manage to moan. She immediately blushed and covered her mouth, not daring to make any more sounds. More blood began to drip down from Jamie’s hand and started trickling down his arm. Though he feared Cedrick, he stood up to question his relative. “I’m just getting intimate with my woman, Uncle. What are you doing?” “Intimate?” Cedrick narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Have you asked for her consent? “A ‘no’ means a ‘yes’ for women. Besides, she’s given birth to my kid, so what=” Whomp! Before Jamie could finish, Cedrick swung his fist toward his face with a cold expression. Unable to dodge, the punch landed on the bridge of his nose, and he instantly felt like his bone had broken. Jamie stumbled backward and fell, accidentally hitting the corner of his mouth against the sharp corner of the coffee table. Blood instantly squirted out of the corner of his mouth as the skin tore. He fell to one knee in frustration and glared at Cedrick. “You seem really angry for this woman’s sake. What’s the matter? Are you interested in her as well?” Saying this, Jamie thought back to the photo Louella showed him earlier…and realized that the man in the photo somehow resembled Cedrick. Cedrick stared down at Jamie like he would with an ant as he oozed an intimidating aura like a king ruling in the shadows. “Catelyn Clark is the designer of my son’s mansion. No one is to lay a finger on her until the project is completed.”
