Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Janice decided to cut to the chase. “I’ve always wondered what kind of girls Cedrick likes. He was engaged with Maia before, and I thought he liked her, but there was never any affection in his eyes whenever he looked at her. On the contrary, I can sense that he is serious about you. I feel both glad and worried about that. I don’t have any children of my own, and Cedrick is like my child. As a mother, I want him to have a strong wife. In the future, I will select a wife who’s appropriate for him with you as a reference, but for now… I won’t stop you two from dating each other.”

Catelyn’s expression darkened slightly at her words.

Janice had promised not to stop them from dating but had also made it clear that Catelyn was not fit to be Cedrick’s wife.

“So you’re telling me to know my place and back off when the person who’s fit to be his wife shows up?”

“If you love him, you should prioritize him no matter what. If you don’t love him, I will make sure that you are compensated for leaving,” Janice said calmly and casually, but also a warning toward Catelyn that if Catelyn loved Cedrick, she should choose to leave and allow him to marry a wife with a powerful background. Catelyn could understand her point of view but could not agree with it. However, there was no need for her to discuss the future with Janice because she only sees her children in her future. There was no space for Cedrick.

“I get it.” Catelyn nodded obediently. The smile on Janice’s face faded as she thought, ‘Just like that? She didn’t ever try to talk me out of it? Does she truly love Cedrick?’

Suddenly, Janice developed a mild resentment toward Catelyn. She took out a cheque from her purse and handed it to Catelyn. “There was no time during the last few times we saw one another, and I didn’t have time to prepare a gift for you. Here, I hope you will like this.” Catelyn glanced at it and saw a bunch of zeros, adding up to seven digits. ‘What an impressive first gift!’ she thought.
