Catelyn did not listen to him, and she did not stop running.Catelyn breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the second floor. She initially wanted to lock herself in the room to buy herself time to think of another plan, but who knew that two maids just happened to come in the corridor on the second floor…"Catch her!" Cedrick lowered his voice and ordered the two maids. "That's the order from Old Madam Atherton! I need to take her away today!"The two maids looked at each other and then looked at Kelly downstairs as if they were seeking confirmation.Kelly nodded and said, "Listen to Master Cedrick, stop Miss Atherton."The two maids immediately spread their arms, blocking the aisle tightly. Seeing that, Catelyn could not go back to her room even if she wanted to. She gritted her teeth and could only continue running upstairs…Soon they reached the balcony on the top floor.The balcony on the top floor was a greenhouse. Usually, Sylvie would like to hang out in it to cultivate he
"Okay, I promise you."However, Cedrick did not think there would be a miracle even if they delayed the abortion."If you delay the abortion for another two months, it will only cause more serious damage to your body! We are not that high up, and the greatest probability of you jumping down is that you will be disabled and lose the child. In the future, you can only witness the growth of Miles and Ollie but not be able to take part in it. I'm sure that's not what you want, right?""Cedrick, what nonsense are you talking about?" Sylvie was furious after hearing what Cedrick said.'Is that what a husband should say at a moment like this?!'Cedrick did not respond to Sylvie. His strategy was to extirpate Catelyn's last hope before comforting her that what they were doing was for her good.After all, she stubbornly believed that the child still had a chance of survival, just like he stubbornly believed that the child would inevitably die even if he were born."Catelyn, if you don't
Cedrick's response to that question was a long kiss.He kissed her dry lips, gently wiped the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, and whispered in her ears, "What else can I do with you when you're even willing to sacrifice your life for the child? But promise me, don't do that again!""As long as my child is fine, of course, I won't run and jump off any building again..." Catelyn did not know why she dared to stand on the wall of the balcony just now.The fear finally hit her when she recalled her action.The tears slowly stopped, and what filled her heart was anxiety and also excitement. She was ready to die, but in the end, Cedrick compromised for her safety…"Cat, how could you jump off the building just now? If something happened to you, how can I explain it to Summer in Heaven?" Sylvie's heart was still beating fast in horror, and she took Catelyn's hand, startled and angry. "Thank God you finally came down safely. I was scared to death by you."Catelyn forced a guilty
"What are you doing?" Catelyn retreated reflexively.Cedrick paused his hands in the air and explained, "There is rice in the corner of your mouth.""I'll do it myself..." Catelyn hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with tissue paper.It was not that she was not close to him anymore but that her nerves had been tensed up all the time for the past three days for fear that he would force her to abort the child.Cedrick's lip line turned pale. "It seems that I have become a scourge in your heart?"After that, he got up, packed the tableware, and walked straight to the kitchen, looking a little lonely.Catelyn felt as if her heart had been stabbed. She wanted to chase after him and explained that she did not intend to avoid him, but she was just too worried about the child, so she became suspicious…Before she could do that, Harry came in.Harry rushed back when he heard that Catelyn was pregnant.It was not polite for Catelyn to leave Harry alone after all."Cat, are you pr
Catelyn was not afraid of Harry, as she sneered. "Edwin had been a daring person all the while. You wanted to know whose idea it was to lie about being pregnant? Just give your son a call. It's that simple.""You—" Harry was so furious that he smacked the table hard and stood up from the sofa.At this moment, Cedrick came out from the kitchen and glared at Harry sharply. "Uncle, my wife is pregnant now. Please do not agitate her. You can talk to me," he said.With Cedrick's appearance, the atmosphere in the living room changed in an instant.There was no doubt that his presence had brought an intimidating aura.Harry moved his lips and said mockingly, "The audacity of this girl, even meddling in the affairs of my family? Whatever it is, I will not allow her to be my daughter-in-law !"Cedrick listened slowly to Harry's domineering statement. After a while, he replied, "Whatever, as long as Edwin is willing to listen to you."Harry choked, his old face flushed red.Catelyn secre
People were rushing toward Patrick, except Joanne, who was running in the opposite direction from everyone else. In the midst of it, she accidentally bumped into another female celebrity…"Hey! You just stepped on Miss Diana's foot! Watch where you're going!" scolded Teresa Diana's assistant, as she grabbed Joanne's hand angrily.Joanne quickly stepped back hastily and clasped her hands together. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it," she apologized to Teresa."You better be sorry!" the assistant replied sarcastically.Teresa was a well-known celebrity in the entertainment circle. She was the female star that Joanne had a dispute with at the entrance of the TV station previously.Joanne was a third-rate celebrity at best, and it's no wonder that Teresa's assistant dared to raise her voice at her.Joanne was about to apologize again, but Teresa caught a glimpse of Patrick walking over. She patted her on the shoulder with a smile and asked, "Are you the one playing the third female lead?"
"I really don't want to scold you. I know you are a good actress. Never mind. Get some rest. You've been pretty absent-minded the past two days," said the assistant director."Yes. I will get a hold of myself!" said Joanne reassuringly.She held her script and studied it silently in a corner. As a popular actress in Monique Entertainment, she was not very well known in Worldwide Entertainment Co.Before this, Edwin had provided her with a caravan, assistants, and many other benefits. Now that she got kicked out from the Athertons, she did not have the guts to ask for all these perks. After all, they all came with a high cost.Therefore, at this moment, Joanne could only do everything on her own.Initially, she wanted to observe her part of the role, which was why she was not putting much effort into her act. Now that she got a good scolding from the assistant director, she realized she had to buck up. She was an actress, and acting was her job.No matter what happens, she will
Joanne gulped. Feeling pressured, she gave a thumbs up weakly and said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best in my act, and I won't hold you back.""Well, let's start then," said Patrick as he nodded lightly and asked his assistant to bring his script.Patrick's script was so clean! There were no notes or scribbling on it, like a brand-new sheet of paper.Joanne looked at his script and looked down at her own, instantly feeling ashamed.What a brilliant actor! Patrick could just act by just reading the script alone!It turned out Joanne still had a long way to go to stardom…In the scene with Patrick, Joanne was given the role of the daughter of a medicinal sorcerer. She was rescued by the male lead, played by Patrick. From there, she fell in love at first sight. However, it turned out that the male lead already had a sweetheart.Therefore, Joanne's character eventually goes into a downward spiral and ends up doing many unconscionable acts.Fortunately, she finally came to her senses
