"Don't believe the news, Mommy. This is all nonsense," said 'Miles'—who was, in fact, Ollie—as he hurriedly rolled up the newspaper and tossed it into the trash."They've got photos, Miles. How do you know it's nonsense?" asked Catelyn."I just know," replied Ollie. He moved a small bench and sat across from Catelyn before he added solemnly, "He's the youngest president of Mason Group and the eldest of the Mason family. He's handsome, young, and has a promising future. Many women wish to marry him. This photo was probably posted by someone to deliberately hype up the scandal."Catelyn gave Ollie a bewildered stare. "It's rare for you to praise others like this. You like him?" she asked.Miles usually hated mentioning other men to her, but he appeared to have a change of heart today."He helped us in the hospital yesterday, and he should know to reciprocate," said Ollie. It was a reasonable statement, anyway.His large eyes shone with longingness and an ingratiating expression, an
The incident of Ollie falling down the stairs had haunted Catelyn for a long while.Catelyn longed to see the boy.Sure, she and Cedrick had a complicated…'relationship' before, but since he was with that female star, everything should have washed out already, no?With that thought in mind, Catelyn bought a bunch of carnations and folded a large box of paper clovers, intending to give it to Ollie as a gift in return.She prayed he would like it.Not knowing which hospital Ollie was in, Catelyn first contacted Albert.The long asphalt road was lined with tall trees on both sides of the curbs, and at the end of it erected a Europeian-style villa with a guard standing by the entrance of a majestic carved iron gate.It was only after Catelyn entered Mason Villa that she realized that Ollie did not break his leg at all, and it was a lie used to deceive Cedrick.Catelyn was rendered speechless. After all, Ollie did not look like the type to lie."Miss Clark, please have a seat. Mast
Catelyn was supposed to leave the premise already!She stopped in her tracks and turned her head, shooting Maia a sharp stare.Maia, on the other hand, looked at her livid face and grew haughty.She was very careful with everything, but she failed to think about Catelyn, failing to one-up her.Maia suddenly remembered the scandalous photos in the newspaper, and it was mentioned that Cedrick's new lover seemed to somewhat resemble Catelyn.Was…the female star just a distraction after all?The thought of such a possibility made Maia's heart falter. When she looked at Catelyn, her tone became even more unkind."Cedrick has a habit of cleanliness. You've already given birth to a child, and he won't even look at you! I'm his only legitimate fiancee—argh!"Splash!Catelyn picked up a hot cup of tea on the coffee table and splashed it onto Maia.She tried keeping herself together, not wanting to escalate the situation since she felt sorry for Maia, but she refused to be treated li
Catelyn did not expect Maia to be doused with that cup of hot water.Nonetheless, amid the bodyguards panicking at the shift of events, Catelyn swiftly stepped at the feet of one of the bodyguards. As he yelped in pain, she quickly went toward the door and fled.However, the floor was unbelievably slippery. Catelyn slipped and knocked her head on the coffee table, instantly opening up a tear on her head."Get her!" Maia pointed at Catelyn angrily. Never before had she wanted to hurt Catelyn so bad.Catelyn ignored the bleeding wound on her head and made a run for it, all while blood trickled down her forehead, blurring her vision a little.She did not stop running.As far as Maia was concerned, Catelyn was just a woman in bankruptcy, and she could do whatever she wanted with her.Catelyn started picking up the pace when a bodyguard shouted, "Stop!"Why would she?Catelyn ran out of the large carved iron gate of the Mason Estate. Due to the loss of blood, she was not aware of h
Since Cedrick had been living alone in the Mason Estate, there were no available clothes for Maia to change into. Moreover, she refused to put on those cheap maid outfits.Just as Maia was debating whether to have someone bring her clothes, she saw Cedrick and Miles returning. She bit her lower lip, feeling a little aggrieved as she thought of her current embarrassed appearance."Ceddy..."Cedrick saw Maia in her messy state, her usual elegant appearance completely gone. Her clothes were soaking wet, and her hair was sticking to her cheeks.Maia looked worse than Catelyn.Since Albert was way past his prime, it took him a long while to get up from the ground. With a trembling tone in his voice, he quickly instructed the servant to bring some new clothes for Cedrick and Miles.Cedrick saw a smear of blood on the sharp corner of the coffee table, and his eyes darkened."What happened just now?" he asked."Ceddy, is Catelyn really the designer of Ollie's villa?" Maia looked at Ced
Maia got someone to bring her a bowl of pasta sprinkled with parmesan cheese. It looked delectable.Maia was determined to be a good wife and mother in the eyes of Cedrick. "Little Ollie, let me feed you, okay?" she said to Miles, who was still masquerading as Ollie."Alright. Thank you, Aunty Maia," he replied to her with a smile, revealing two rows of neat white teeth. Little did she know of his devilish plans hidden behind his smile.The overjoyed Maia took the bowl and sat at the boy's bedside. Gently, she scooped some pasta and brought it to the corner of Miles' mouth.Suddenly, Miles got agitated and hit the spoon with a wave of his hand, in turn smearing the spoonful of pasta on Maia.Before she had a chance to react, Miles quickly covered his mouth. His big eyes flickered as he exclaimed, "It's so hot! Do you want my mouth to be scalded?"Cedrick was standing aside the whole time, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Maia apologized repeatedly and wiped the corner of Mi
Maia swiftly landed a backhand slap on the driver's face. She slightly bent her fingers while doing so, and her nails drew a long bloodstain on the driver's face.That was not enough."You're fired! I'll have the butler prepare your salary when you're back later!" exclaimed Maia.The driver brought a hand gently against his bleeding cheek as he began to panic at Maia's words. "Miss Clark, please forgive me! I have a family to take care of! I can't go on without a job…""Drive," ordered Maia coldly."Miss Clark, I...""If you don't start driving, your salary for the month will be forfeited!" Maia glared at the driver fiercely. She usually pretended to be nice toward the servants, but she was enraged today.Maia was so angry that the veins on her temper even bulged.She had been sending people to keep an eye on Cedrick, but she did not expect Catelyn to be one step ahead of her.Moreover, she had completely messed up her outfit and makeup!"The audacity! So what if you have a f
Benny was a very honest person. Knowing that Catelyn had come to Mason Estate to visit the young master, he started chatting with her about Ollie.Catelyn listened to him talk about how Ollie always treated his servants well, as well as how humble and polite he was to elders. He also mentioned that his temper could be a bit dull at times, and his emotions were more restrained.Nevertheless, he was a kind boy.Catelyn unconsciously sketched the outline of the well-behaved, sensible Ollie in her mind.When she was at the door of the Mason Estate earlier, she seemed to notice the outline of a child. However, she was so enraged at that moment, and the boy even covered his face with a towel, so she did not manage to get a clearer look at him.Catelyn suddenly had a feeling of remorse for some reason.She did not go to a hospital and instead went to a small clinic near her home for a simple bandage treatment.The doctor advised Catelyn to keep her wounds dry and away from liquid, addi
