Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler
Chapter 361

Chapter 361 The yells and footsteps of the men disappeared in another direction.

Javier held his breath and hid quietly under the trash can.

At that moment, he felt a sudden rush of regret. If it was not for him, this might not have happened.

Still, how did the men know that Catelyn would leave the building at this hour?

Javier fell into deep contemplation.

Catelyn kept running barefoot on the gravel road, and the soles of her feet had been cut open by the rough sands, so much so that it was excruciating.

She could not stop running, though. She could not begin to imagine what would happen if

Once Javier was safe and managed to get help, she would be fine.

Catelyn summoned every bit of her zeal solely from that belief alone and kept on sprinting, but outrunning the gangsters was impossible.

Soon enough, Catelyn was surrounded.

Cedrick returned to Mason Estate once he was done with the gathering, but at this moment, he was quite tired yet.

Sweat rained from his body as he ran on the treadmill machine.

His toned muscles glistened under the warm lighting, and when he got off the treadmill, his shirt and towel were completely soaked. Strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead.

Ever since he could remember, he had always had the pendant with him. Not once had he ever taken it off of him.

The only time he ever took it off was that night when Catelyn snatched it off, along with the string attached to it.

She held onto it so tightly that he tried to take it back from her. To his surprise, she hissed and clawed at him like a feral cat, scratching his chest with her nails, painting it with streaks of red lines. Eventually, he had no other choice than to enable her.

His dark eyes were filled with traces of regret.

He tilted his head back and finished the water in a single breath.

Bzz, bzz, bzz! His phone that was next to him vibrated.

Cedrick frowned upon seeing Javier's name on the screen.

"What is it?"

"Ced...Cedrick, please don't punch me!" stammered Javier under his breath anxiously. "I

didn't do it on purpose, I swear! I just wanted to test her loyalty."

"Test her loyalty'?

Was this about Catelyn?

Crunch! The plastic bottle flattened in his hand.

His eyes darkened as he snarled, "What did you do to her?"

Catelyn was brought to an abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere, and not a single pedestrian was in sight. The place looked creepy under the dim moonlight.

Catelyn was thrown to the ground like a chicken waiting to be butchered.

The man was still wearing his helmet that obscured most of his face, probably not wanting to be recognized. Still, he glared at her with a murderous look, and she felt like she would be devoured. "Miss Catelyn, we're not here to hurt you. We promise to release you as soon as you tell us the information we need about the City Center project, okay?"

The man waved the knife in his hand around, the metal glinting under the light, blinding Catelyn's eyes. She was overwhelmed with terror.

"I'm just a mere, insignificant employee in Mason Group, and I don't know anything about the project at all! "You got the wrong person, so please, just let me go... I'll pretend like this whole thing never even happened!" She staggered back fearfully.
