The few words had Catelyn clenching her fists to the point that her knuckles were turning white.
“I get it, I’ll withdraw from this project. Don’t worry about it, Mister Mason.” She forced herself to straighten up her back, knowing perfectly well that there was no point to argue.
Cedrick was surprised that she agreed that quickly. “It’s my son who chose you, and it’s me who fired you. I trust that you know how to explain?”
Ollie had already been distant, so he did not wish to create conflict with his son over such small matters.
Catelyn did not look away and stared directly into his eyes. “I’ll tell Young Master that I’m not feeling well and, therefore, will not be able to manage the project.”
“You may go now.”
“Alright.” Catelyn turned to leave without hesitation, but she soon realized that she felt wronged when she arrived at the door. She summoned her courage and gritted her teeth before saying, “Mister Mason, don’t you think it’s too shallow to judge a person’s talent by their academic qualification?”
Eason instantly started sweating at her words, thinking, ‘Is Miss Clark here accursing Master Cedrick for discriminating those who didn’t achieve much academically? How bold!’
“I’m not shallow with others, just with you,” sneered Cedrick.
Catelyn clenched her fists as anger rose within her.
Was it because she said that he resembled Jamie the day before? It was just the truth!
What possessed him that made him so narcissistic, thinking that anyone should want to approach him on purpose?
Rage overtook her face and she was about to explode, but at the same time, she realized why her son, Miles looked so much like this man before her.
Jamie was his relative, so it made sense that they resembled one another.
Right after she left, Cedrick’s phone rang. He picked it up to realize that it was the head butler of Mason Estate, Albert.
