Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 297

Chapter 297 As for the draft that Catelyn had submitted, it was cast aside before Granny Atherton could even see it-not that she had the mood to view it, regardless. Lola sneered smugly. ‘You dare stand against me, Catelyn? Try again in your next life!’ Lola had put in a lot of effort and purposefully arranged the contestants with poorer designs ahead of Catelyn so their presentation time on stage would be minimized, making sure that Catelyn would not make it back in time.

Catelyn was stuck in the bathroom.

She had thought that she simply had food poisoning and would soon recover after taking some rest, but the reality had proved her wrong.

She had stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour, and she had asked for the staff’s help to purchase extremely strong antidiarrheal. Eventually, her diarrhea finally subsided.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, she was as pale as a ghost. Her lips were numb, and she felt like she would lose consciousness at any moment.

Keeping her hand on the wall as a support, she slowly moved toward the meeting hall.

Catelyn knew that it was long past her number. She had no hope of making it to the stage in time, and the worst outcome would be that she had been eliminated. However, the rules of the contest also stated that contestants could apply for a later spot under special circumstances.

She would like to consider her current situation a ‘special circumstance’.

There were a few bodyguards guarding the entrance, and when Catelyn gave them her name, they informed her that it was past her number and that she was not allowed back inside to disturb the others.

Catelyn calmly went to sit on a bench in the corridor, trying desperately to breathe and recover, but all strength was drained from her. She did not even notice her phone ringing in her pocket

In Mason Group.

“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable. Please try again later.”

Cedrick scowled at the sound of the monotone voice message.

He had called Catelyn multiple times during the meeting, and not once had she picked up.

His eyebrows twitched in irritation.

The meeting was important with all the stakeholders of Mason Group gathered in one place. Some of the members were seniors of the Mason family, and Cedrick could not afford to leave.

Since the Atherton farnily was running Chandier Jewelry, he went ahead and called Edwin.

“What? Go help now? No, no way! I still have loads of work here with the entertainment firms

I’m running!” Edwin shouted his reluctance at Cedrick’s request. Although matters of the entertainment firms were not pressing, he had to remain in the office. “Catelyn won’t pick up her phone. You check on her,” said Cedrick, sounding concerned.” Eclipse Entertainment is located near Chandier Jewelry. If you hurry, you should get there in ten minutes.”

Edwin was slightly shocked. “Did something happen to Kitty?”

“I suspect so.”

Edwin did not reject the request again but mumbled, “Why don’t you check on her yourself? This is a chance for you to show what a caring boyfriend you are! Don’t complain to me later about stealing your thunder…”

“If Kitty falls for me after I rescue her, I’d feel sorry for you.”

“Don’t overthink this. With me by her side, she won’t even dare to think of cheating,” said Cedrick confidently before hanging up. He glanced at her last message and wondered if her stomachache had not subsided.
