Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler

Lola's pupils contracted the moment she saw the handsome profile of Cedrick.

'Oh, how handsome!' she fawned internally. He looked somewhat like Jamie, but whatever Jamie lacked, he had. His features were more defined, and his forehead was fuller, which made his eyes stand out

even more.

Louella, too, was stunned.

"Miss Clark, what a coincidence." Lola was the first to snap out of it and spoke with a smile, "About that illegitimate child of yours with my brother-in-law, what do you plan to do?"

"Brother-in-law?" Catelyn looked at the girl dressed in an elegant beige dress standing before her.

"This is my sister, Lola."

Louella stepped forward and straightened her back subconsciously to maintain an elegant posture, reluctant to lose to Catelyn in any way.

Lola's gaze traveled back and forth between Catelyn and Cedrick. She lifted an eyebrow and raised her voice, saying, "My sister is pregnant with Jamie's child now, and the existence of your son will only damage their relationship. Since you've already found another man, I'll give you five million to take that kid and leave Sapphire City."

Catelyn glanced at Cedrick and noticed he was still standing there expressionlessly, as though he had nothing to do with what was happening. She felt relieved, nonetheless; she would hate for this man to be further involved in her life.

"Sapphire City is where I call home, so why should I have to leave just because you say so?"

"Maybe you just don't think I'm offering enough. Why don't you name your price?" Lola looked down at Catelyn condescendingly.

Catelyn was no coward and sneered at how disrespectful Lola was. "Alright, since you're that wealthy, give me five billion. With five billion, I'll take my son and leave, never to appear before you and Jamie Mason. Alright with you?"

"F-Five billion?" gasped Louella, stunned. "Not even the Clark family was worth that much before you went bankrupt! How can you be so greedy?"

"Weren't you the one who asked me to name my price?" Catelyn drawled.

Rendered speechless, Louella choked on her own words and blushed.

Lola, too, was provoked by Catelyn and threatened, "Don't blame me for not warning you, Catelyn. I'll treat you like an enemy if you refuse to take that b*stard of yours and leave!"

"You're the ones trying to force me out of my home with bad intentions, so why bother trying to look generous now?" Catelyn no longer wanted to waste her time with both women and dragged Cedrick with her to leave.

Louella watched as she and Cedrick left and hissed, "How can she be so shameless to ask for five billion?"

"Sis, you are pregnant. Don't get too angry." Lola moved closer to help support Louella's weight.

"Our parents don't know about Jamie's illegitimate child yet. If words get out, how will others see me?" Tears welled up in Louella's eyes as she was at the brink of bursting into tears.

"I told you that Jamie isn't a good guy, and you still insist on choosing him. What's the point of crying now?" retorted Lola impatiently.

Immediately, Louella started sobbing.

"Alright, alright. I'll think of something for you and make Catelyn and her b*stard child disappear, okay?" Lola patted the back of her sister's hand for comfort.

Louella had always trusted her sister. "Can you really make her leave Sapphire City?" She blinked.

Lola's red lips curled into a vicious smile. "Of course! Even if you're okay with a step-son, I don't want a step-nephew."

Just then, Louella received a phone call from Jamie.

Catelyn's head was filled with the last warning Lola gave her and did not notice that she was racing forward while still holding Cedrick's hand.

Cedrick glanced at her hand that grabbed onto his and noticed how natural she seemed to be doing so, as though she had done so to so many men before him. He sneered as contempt filled his eyes.

Catelyn dragged Cedrick all the way to the parking lot at the hospital's entrance, and when Eason saw them holding hands, his jaw dropped.

"Miss Clark, Master Cedrick, you..."

Cedrick had always been a neat freak and would never touch any woman other than Maia.

Catelyn finally realized that she was holding Cedrick's hand and shoved him off hastily.

She must have been out of her mind.

However, she happened to be grabbed onto Cedrick's injured right arm and as she flung his arm away, his wound reopened once again.

Cedrick gasped and stared daggers at her.

Noticing that she had pulled his wounded arm, she awkwardly hurried over to help him up.

Cedrick took a deep breath to suppress the urge to crush the woman before him and asked, "According to what the Atherton sisters have said back there, you've got a kid?" "Why do you care?" Catelyn looked at him warily.

"Jamie is my nephew, so you tell me why I care." He smirked sarcastically. "If you already have a son with him, I am already your senior in some way, so what are you trying to imply by grabbing my hand like that?"

'Is she trying her luck with me after Jamie abandoned her?' he thought. His thick brows furrowed as he pressured Catelyn wordlessly with his glare.

Catelyn's face flushed. "That's because..." After a pause, her eyes shone and she opened her lips to say, "You said that your leg is injured. I'm worried that you might fall, so as a minor, I had to help you!" "Ahem!" Eason immediately choked on his own saliva at how bold Catelyn was.

A dark expression appeared on Cedrick's enticing face, and the atmosphere instantly tensed. As the two had a stand-off, Cedrick's phone rang just in time to break the silence.

He glanced at the caller ID and turned to walk away expressionlessly.

Eason opened the car door for him respectfully. Cedrick bent down and went in to sit down before picking up the phone and said, "You better have something important."

Back in Mason Estate, Albert shouted anxiously as soon as he heard Cedrick's voice, "Bad news, Master Cedrick, Young Master fell sick!"

"Did you call the family doctor over?" Cedrick rolled up the car window in irritation to block Catelyn out of his sight.

Rushing out to the highway to save her was most definitely his biggest regret in life.

"We did, but Young Master refused to let the doctor check on him and kept asking to be taken to the hospital!" Albert responded hastily.

Cedrick unbuttoned the top buttons of his shirt, revealing the tanned muscular chest beneath it. "Pass him the phone."

Albert rushed to hand the phone over to the boy throwing a tantrum on the bed and whispered, "Here, Young Master, a call from Master Cedrick." Miles pouted pathetically and drawled in a weak voice, "Hello..."
