Once Cedrick was certain that Catelyn was fine, he drove his car and chased after the ambulance.Catelyn was sitting in the passenger seat, watching him clutching the steering wheel with both hands. His bloodshot eyes stared in front, expressionlessly as he stepped on the accelerator. The car sped up, and Catelyn felt like she was floating on air. The car did not slow down even when they passed a big windy road.It felt as if they were about to hit something!Catelyn was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly. She could clearly feel that the tire had hit something hard on the road, and the car started to drive crookedly.Catelyn was sweating all over. She quickly grabbed Cedrick's hand on the steering wheel. "Cedrick, please drive slowly! Aunt Janice will be okay. I don't want us to be involved in an accident!"Cedrick stared at the road silently. His face was tense, and there was no trace of sadness or joy on his face, like a rampaging beast.He gripped the steering
"I was indeed the first one to reach the stairwell, but I was only there because I overheard a conversation between her and someone else. By the time I was there, Aunt Janice had already fallen and hurt herself. I ran down to check her injury and got myself stained with her blood," said Catelyn.Draco's heart skipped a beat.Cedrick's face was dark. If there was a third person at the scene, it only meant that Janice was probably pushed down by someone. His eyes were full of hostility, and he continued to ask Catelyn, "You've mentioned that you've heard a conversation, was the other person a male or a female?"Catelyn replied without hesitation, "I'm sure it was a man.""Then, did you see who he is?" At this moment, Ezekiel suddenly raised his voice and asked.Catelyn looked at her father and said helplessly, "He ran away so quickly, I didn't manage to catch a glimpse of his face.""What about his voice? Can you recognize it?" Ezekiel asked again in a serious tone.Catelyn tried
Cedrick ordered Charles to retrieve all the surveillance footage around the island a few hours before and after the incident.Judging from the culprit's frantic escape from the scene, the crime was not premeditated.Since Janice was pushed downstairs on impulse, the culprit probably did not have any time to hide the evidence…Nobody could have imagined such a horrifying incident to take place in the morning after the wedding. The island was completely sealed off, and non-suspicious people would be evacuated in batches in an orderly manner.The operation seemed a little too much, but no one dared blame Cedrick.Old Madam Atherton brought Catelyn into the car, intending to bring her back to the manor. However, Catelyn refused. She and Cedrick had already finished their wedding, so it was only natural for her to move into the Mason Estate.Anyhow, Cedrick needed her by his side.She was disappointed that Cedrick did not call her the entire afternoon. Even when she took the initia
Catelyn saw the man pushing Janice down the stairs! She saw an afterimage that suddenly pushed her aunt down the stairs!She desperately tried to recall the man's face, but he was too far away for her to get a good look at him.Furthermore, the man kept his head down as he fled, and Catelyn only managed to see the clothes he was wearing.He wore dark-colored clothes with no distinctive features.Suddenly, she recalled the man's cuff. Perhaps there was some physical confrontation with Janice beforehand. The inner lining of the cuffs was turned inside out, revealing the intricate letter patterns embroidered on it.N&L.This pattern was magnified in Catelyn's memory, and she started sweating.That was the style she customized exclusively for Ezekiel to wear for the wedding!Could he be the one who pushed Janice down the stairs?It cannot be…Ezekiel did not even know Janice…Catelyn suddenly felt a little uneasy. She felt a chill approaching, accompanied by the sound of small f
Catelyn's breathing fluttered suddenly, but she quickly shook her head calmly. "I've thought hard about it, but I just couldn't recognize who that was based on the voice alone. You found other clues?""Not yet. Anyway, don't think about it so much, sleep well," replied Cedrick. He took the keys and strode out of the Mason Estate.Catelyn sat up from the bed.Why would Cedrick ask that question all of a sudden?His reaction tonight was so strange too. Did he also discover that Ezekiel was a possible culprit as well?Catelyn was wide awake now. She took the mobile phone from the bedside table and called her father."Miss, he is already asleep. If you have anything to say, you can tell me, and I will pass it on to him tomorrow," said the servant who answered the phone.Asleep?If he really was the person who hurt Janice, how could he be able to sleep?Catelyn relaxed a little and asked the servant, "Was there any usual behavior from Dad tonight? Was he restless, or saying words
Catelyn nodded, looking worriedly at the intensive care unit…Last night, she was still reassuring Cedrick that everything would be fine. However, things just go differently than we want all the time.At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit was pushed open, and a nurse ran over. "Miss Coleman is dying. Come in quick if you want to see her for the last time!"Regardless of the infection of the germs around, everyone just hurried in. For many people, Janice's death was not the most important thing. Everyone was there because they knew Cedrick cared about her, and now was the perfect time for them to be at his side to 'show their sympathy'.Catelyn walked toward the hospital bed. Over there, Cedrick was sitting beside it, holding Janice's hand. His eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot, and a circle of stubble appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had not been shaving for days!Janice was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose. A thin l
Chapter 1061As the last sunset glow disappeared, the car turned the last corner and drove down the lane in front of the Clark Mansion.Ezekiel had a business meeting in the evening, so he intended to go home first to take a shower and change clothes...He had just gotten out of the car and hadn't stepped into the foyer when another black car came up behind him. The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes. Ezekiel subconsciously reached out to block the light and squinted.Then he saw the car stop. Catelyn got out, still wearing her bulky down jacket from the morning, yet her cheeks were stiffer and whiter than in the morning, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried."Cat?" Ezekiel raised his eyebrows in surprise when he realized it was Catelyn. "Why didn't you call ahead to tell me you would come back?"Catelyn looked at Ezekiel, who greeted her as if nothing had happened. Her heart sank. "I have something to say to you.""Well, me too. Let's go in and talk about
Chapter 1062"You admitted it, right? It's really you!" Catelyn's head buzzed, her eyes flashing with grief. "You didn't only ruin Janice but also ruin me. How can I face Ceddy now? Janice was his aunt. He takes her as his mother..."Ezekiel knew it was useless to explain. He anxiously took Catelyn's hand. "I did not want to. Cat, believe me. It was really just an accident. From the accident to now, I have been unable to eat well or sleep well. I have nightmares every night...""I don't want to hear your explanation. I just want to know what you and Janice were arguing about in the stairwell." Catelyn was annoyed, shaking off Ezekiel's hand fiercely.Her mind was in a whirl. She didn't want to hear any explanation now. She just wanted to know how to atone and make Cedrick forgive her father.But was it possible?Her father killed Janice..."I..." Ezekiel hesitated."You still won't tell me the truth? Dad, I'm tired of this guessing game. I beg you... Ouch." Catelyn's blood rush
Chapter 1943"Just 999 dollars! It will bring you a long, happy life together."The vendor stared at Catelyn with eager eyes, frantically trying to sell his products.Cedrick looked down at Catelyn tenderly and asked, "Do you like it?"Catelyn picked up a charm to take a look, smiling, "It's not bad, but is it too expensive?"The charm was a good symbol. However, it was just casually made, not worth that much. This vendor was clearly trying to rip them off."As long as you like it, it has value."Cedrick raised his chin. Eason immediately handed over 10 hundred-dollar bills.The vendor gazed at the dollar bills with glowing eyes, took them with trembling hands, and chose a perfect charm for Catelyn and Cedrick.Cedrick took the charm and connected Catelyn's hand and his with it.His long, slender fingers moved. Even the slightest movement was very pleasant. Coupled with the romantic atmosphere, it was so beautiful.Joanne got excited as she watched them, clamoring, "I want o
Chapter 1942"Oh my, Evelyn made the shop assistant kneel to put her shoes on? That was too much! Does she think she's a noble princess?""Check out this video. Evelyn framed Mrs. Mason at the mall with a big belly.""Even a beast won't harm its children. Evelyn risked her child's life! How can she be so cruel?""Bah! Mr. Mason is handsome and rich. Evelyn actually cheated on him!""Her lover is too ugly. Evelyn has terrible taste.""Ahhh, Evelyn moaned so lewdly in the video. How can this man compare to Mr. Mason? I want to vomit..."As people online questioned and criticized Evelyn, her reputation completely collapsed, and she quickly became notorious.Cedrick became the victim of this incident.Cedrick sat in the car, looking at the responses on the Internet. He nodded and said, "You did a good job."To create the illusion that Evelyn cheated on Cedrick, Eason used AI technology to change Ralph's face into a stranger's in the videos of Evelyn and him having sex. "Thank
Chapter 1941Evelyn's voice paused, and her eyes were vicious and angry as she questioned hysterically, "But I did everything out of love for you!"Cedrick wanted to laugh. "Thank you, Ms. Swan. Although your love makes me sick, I have kindly prepared a gift for you."Evelyn looked at him in fear and confusion when she saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.The visitor was just as tall, straight, and handsome as Cedrick. It was amazing to see any difference in their appearance."It's you? You're Ralph?" exclaimed Evelyn, her stomach lurching.For so many nights, she had sex with Ralph, the imposter. No wonder the baby she gave birth to was so disgusting too."Little bitch, long time no see. I missed you so much."Ralph grinned and walked toward Evelyn with lustful eyes."Go away! Go away!"Evelyn frantically waved her pillow, trying to repel Ralph, but these attacks were like a kitten's playing in Ralph's eyes.Ralph smiled evilly, dragged Evelyn down from the hospi
Chapter 1940A few seconds later, she tore up the piece of paper regardless and looked at Cedrick with crazy eyes, "I'm your wife! It's Mrs. Mason in name only! All of this is a lie. My daughter is your child! And could only be your child!"Cedrick sneered, his deep eyes icy, "Think what you want, as long as you're happy."His voice was deep, pleasant, and charming, but what he said sent chills down Evelyn's spine.Evelyn looked at him incredulously. The smile on Cedrick's lips became even more fascinating. "There's something I forgot to mention. Are you sure the person you married is me? My wife is Catelyn from the beginning."Previous images flashed through Evelyn's mind. She thought of Cedrick's different attitudes. His passion, his impatience... Scene by scene, frame by frame, it was like a horrible movie, making her shiver."Cedrick, you indeed lied to me..."Evelyn stared at Cedrick with hatred, her eyes paranoid and mad."Even if my child is not yours and I didn't marry
Chapter 1939"I'm satisfied," Cedrick smiled dangerously, his eyes emotional.It was a smile that made Evelyn feel extremely alarmed."Then ... show me the baby."Cedrick looked at Evelyn condescendingly, his deep eyes full of coldness. "Eason."Eason respectfully carried the baby over to the hospital bed. "Mrs. Mason, please."Evelyn took the child in surprise and lifted the swaddling blanket on the baby.Although it was a girl, Evelyn gave birth to her. Naturally, Evelyn loved her.Yet the moment she saw the baby's face, Evelyn's face suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the baby away, leaning down and vomiting."No, it's not my baby! It's not my baby!"'How can she possibly be my child?' The baby was deformed. Her little face was bruised. Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all tightly grown together. She looked extraordinarily horrible..."Mrs. Mason, this is your baby!"Eason nimbly caught the baby that almost fell to the floor and brought it back to Evelyn."Take her a
Chapter 1938"Now, all of you, stop talking nonsense and do your job. We'll have an easy time when she has given birth."The doctor reprimanded and turned to go back to his office.Inside the room, Evelyn scrolled through the videos and news with a bitter smile.These days after she came back, Cedrick visited her every day and was photographed by many reporters and media. Now the news was all about her and Cedrick being in love.Yet only she knew that Cedrick always left soon after he came, never staying longer than fifteen minutes.'Is it really because he's too busy working?'When she thought of Summer and Braylon, who came in and out together affectionately, a glint of jealousy flashed in Evelyn's eyes.If only Cedrick could always stay by her side as Braylon did to Summer.Soon, it was Evelyn's due date."Cedrick, I'm so scared..."Evelyn grabbed Cedrick's sleeve, sweating in pain. "I can't take it anymore. I want a C-section with general anesthesia..."With a cold ligh
Chapter 1937The nurse rushed to support Evelyn.Evelyn looked flustered and headed back to the ward."Has anyone touched my things?"Evelyn came back like a different person. The condescension she had when she first arrived disappeared.'Braylon is no ordinary man. What if he really wants to help Summer get back at me?'Evelyn subconsciously rubbed her belly. She mustn't let anything happen to her child. She called the nurse and said coldly, "Ask the doctor to come here! I suspect someone has poisoned me."The nurse gave her a frightened look and murmured, "Mrs. Mason, how is this possible?""I don't care! Go get the doctor to check everything in the room. I will not allow anyone to hurt my child!" Evelyn yelled in a stern voice as her eyes went crazy.The nurse called the doctor in fear, and the doctor came, checked everything, and said resignedly, "Mrs. Mason, we assure you that everything here is qualified and absolutely free of any harmful substances. You can relax."Eve
Chapter 1936Evelyn nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Did Cedrick arrange this for me?"Eason thought to himself, 'Mr. Mason has no time for her.' Yet he smiled, "Of course, Mrs. Mason. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."Evelyn smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. There are so many nurses here. They can take care of me."Cedrick had arranged the best labor and delivery room for Evelyn. Three nurses worked 24-hour shifts, so she would have someone to serve her at any time.Evelyn walked into the glass corridor, looking out at the sunshine and green grass. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure."Who's that woman on the bench?"Evelyn's eyes went cold as she frowned and asked the young nurse next to her.The young nurse came over and asked with a puzzled look, "Mrs. Mason, which one do you mean?" "The old woman on the bench."A sneer appeared on Evelyn's lips, and her tone was acerbic.The nurse gave Evelyn a surprised look. "This lady is Mrs. Hensley, who live
Chapter 1935Cedrick was silent for a moment, counting the time. Indeed, Evelyn's due date was approaching.The smile on his mouth grew colder as he thought about what was going to happen."I'll have Eason pick you up.""I know you're busy. It's okay to have Eason pick me up, but I want to see you as soon as I get back."Evelyn smiled sweetly, not bothering with these details.As long as Cedrick cared about her, it was the same whoever came to pick her up.Evelyn touched her round belly, and her expectant face gradually became worried.'It's said that a sharp belly predicts a son and that a round belly predicts a daughter. My belly is so round. Will I have a daughter?'Meanwhile, Cedrick hung up the phone, casually threw it to the bedside, lay back down, and pulled the soft Catelyn into his arms.Half asleep, Catelyn heard Evelyn speaking arrogantly on the phone and slumped against Cedrick's chest."Evelyn's coming back?"Cedrick nodded slightly, a little impatient. "She's
