Chapter 177

How sweet!

Rumor had it that Cedrick was not close to any women, and he only cared for one woman from the Clark family. It seemed that the rumors were true.

Mister Lewis had reserved a private dining room at Majestique, a famous restaurant in Sapphire City located near an ecological artificial lake. The flower garden outside was filled with precious flowers and plants, and the natural fragrance permeated the air.

The real Maia, in fact, was also dining at Majestique at the same time, accompanied by another woman.

The woman was in her early forties. She had an abnormally pale face, and she was dressed stylishly. She had a gentle yet elegant smile on her face.

This woman was none other than Janice Coleman, Cedrick’s aunt. She had raised him ever since his mother had passed away at a very young age. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Maia had specially invited her out for dinner.

Cedrick had not been contacting Janice for a while. Instead, it was Richard Kingsley who was sending all sorts of different text messages to her every once in a while.

As Maia thought of this, her face started looking serious, and her eyes became red-rimmed and glossed with tears.

There was a thin layer of tears in her clear eyes, and it was easy for anyone to pity her. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” asked Janice, concerned, as she took a napkin and carefully wiped Maia’s tears.

Maia immediately put her arms around Janice and leaned her head on her shoulder. “I’m sorry, Aunt Janice. I may…not be able to be by your side anymore in the future.”

Janice saw Maia crying and patted the back of her hand anxiously. “There, there. What happened? Tell me.”

Maia wiped away her tears and sniffed, saying, “It’s Cedrick. He…said he wanted to call off our wedding.”

“Call off the wedding?” frowned Janice when she heard Maia. “He’s not one to not mention such a tremendous decision like this to me. Are you sure about this? You both have been engaged for a few years, and your relationship with him has always been very stable.” “I wish I was wrong, but unfortunately, everything is true,” cried Maia, tears welling up in her eyes again. “There is something I must tell you…”

Janice frowned and motioned her to continue.

“If Cedrick broke up with me for the sake of other women, I’d accept it. Anyone…but Catelyn,” said Maia as she bit her lower lip.

“Catelyn?” Janice asked curiously, “Who is she? What happened between you two?”

“Catelyn is one of the Clark family’s branch relatives. Four years ago, her father was a

sensational murderer, and at that time, her family went bankrupt. To save herself, she seduced Jamie Mason and even birthed a child out of wedlock!”

Maia did not actually know what happened between Catelyn and Jamie, of course, but at this moment, it was better if she talked more things about Catelyn negatively.

Moreover, everything she said was not entirely a lie.

Janice’s face turned ugly, and she could not contain her anger. “You’re saying that Ceddy was brainwashed by such an evil woman and wanted to call off your marriage in the process?” Maia choked with grievances, her face full of sorrow.

“Ridiculous!” exclaimed Janice angrily.

Janice had been in the wealthy circle for many years, and she had heard a lot of pickled things, but she never thought that her nephew would also be involved in such a peachy scandal.

“The audacity of this woman! You and Ceddy clearly have a marriage contract, yet she clung to him so deliberately! I’ll never allow such a person to be married to Ceddy!”
