Chapter 54 - Two Kind Of Paxton

Cathy read a letter tucked in there. At first, her expression was flat, and she didn't show any emotion. But the longer she read it, her face grew grimmer.

"Who gave you this? Where is he now?" asked Cathy hastily.

"He's in the lobby."

Cathy immediately ran to the main lobby to meet the person. Unfortunately, once they got there, she found no one. There were only other reception guards and security guards at the lobby door.

Cathy quickly approached the security to ask about the person who came to give her a message.

"No one has been in and out of this door since an hour ago." the security answer confused Cathy.

"Are you sure?"

The security guy nodded, confidently answered her. Cathy turned back to the reception girl who delivered the mysterious person's message.

"What's the person like?"

"He's tall with golden hair. Ah, he also wore a white, black collared shirt. About his face..." The girl smiled shyly, "I've never seen such a handsome face."

Cathy was speechless at the girl's explanation. All right, she raised her white flag. She would not question the girl any further, realizing she would not get the answer she wanted.

"What's wrong. Cathy?"

Cathy turned and saw Charlie, her uncle's right-hand man approaching them. Cathy handed the bottle filled with insects and keys and letters to the man.

Then Cathy explained what happened briefly. Charlie just nodded his head, understanding the situation that had just happened.

It didn't take long before Mr. Dan appeared, both confused and scared as if he had made a fatal mistake.

"I'm sorry, Miss Cathy, but somehow the CCTV footage in front of the woman's room has been damaged. And also..."

"And also what?" Cathy was running out of patience.

"The CCTV footage of the incident in front of the elevator has been erased. I don't know how this happened. Not only that. All the footage that captured the woman's figure disappeared as if someone had erased her tracks here on purpose."

Cathy's head found it increasingly difficult to process what she had just received. How could a CCTV record just disappear within a few hours? No. It hasn't even been an hour since the Paxton woman fled the scene.

What in the world happened?

"Then let's pretend this never happened." that's what Charlie said. "Go back to work as usual as if this never happened," Charlie ordered Mr. Dan and the reception girl.

After the two of them walked away from them to return to their posts, Cathy asked.

"Why don't we report it to the police? Also, is it possible for someone to delete the CCTV footage in just a few minutes?"

"Seconds. They can do it in seconds."

Cathy gasped at that. Is there a hidden camera nearby? Why does she feel like she's in an action film that could do anything impossible things in such a short time?

Or is she dreaming? No. Wait. Even though the CCTV footage has been deleted, the culprit of this event's sabotage can't be left alone. Cathy asked Charlie this as they both walked toward the elevator.

"No. We'll assume it never happened."

"Why? Is that... Paxton really as powerful as the rumors say?"

Hearing this question, Charlie smiled.

"I shouldn't have told you this. But I'm going to tell you things only Paxton members know. In this world, there are two kinds of Paxton." Charlie said in a serious tone. "The first is Paxton on the throne, while the other is Paxton without a name. You could say it's just the commoner of the rich."

"Therefore, if you meet a Paxton, you have to be careful. Even though their wealth is not comparable to that of the superiors, they can do anything to fulfill their ambitions. That's why many people hope never to meet a Paxton member for their entire life."

"Why?"

"That... you have to wait for an explanation from Mr. Ben. I can only explain the outer part. Oh, one more thing. Mr. Benjamin is the Paxton's throne at the moment, while the others, only commoners. So, if you have trouble, just mention the name Benjamin Paxton as your benefactor. No one will dare to bother you." came the conclusion from the man while offering her a gentle smile before pressing the elevator button marked with the up arrow.

The elevator doors opened, and Charlie entered it with casual steps.

"Are you coming?"

"No. I need time to digest all this information."

"Then you can go rest. Since I'm already here, I will replace your position."

"But..."

"Catherine... you've worked hard for Star Risen. No one will blame you if you take a rest early. Good night."

Cathy watched her reflection from the slowly closing elevator doors. Even though she still had a lot to ask, Cathy kept her lips shut. She wanted to ask if her uncle was so powerful and not afraid of the other Paxtons, why would he just let the incident slip by?

Cathy shook her head, realizing that she had become hating the Paxton woman. How could she not? Not only did the woman sabotage their musician, but that woman also made her beloved sister cry.

She might be able to let her go if her uncle wanted to forget the sabotage incident. But she won't let anyone go after making her three sisters hurt.

Cathy decided to look for the fresh night air in the garden while digesting all the information.

Meanwhile, the reception girl who had delivered the bottles and letters to Catherine did not return to the reception desk. The girl entered a room and immediately changed her uniform with a luxurious dress. She replaced simple makeup with a brighter one. Not to forget, she took off her dark wig and showed her golden curls gently down her shoulders.

Even if Cathy saw her face again, that girl wouldn't recognize her unless she was a genius who could remember people's faces in detail.

After she finished changing clothes, she took her phone and sent a message to someone.

'Mission accomplished.'

Then she sent another message.

'I'll have fun.'

Without waiting for a reply, she rose to her feet and headed towards the tenth floor's main hall.
