Chapter 1075Catelyn looked at Cedrick. He had a stern face and showed no sign of backing down. She took a deep breath and said to Edwin, "I'm ready." Catelyn didn't know what else she could do except take this solution. She couldn't let Cedrick kill her dad. Maybe Cedrick was right: Ezekiel had secrets and they weren't related by blood, but she couldn't let Cedrick force Ezekiel to death. Edwin turned to Cedrick again, but Cedrick ignored him. He looked straight at Ezekiel, which showed that Cedrick was willing to accept the bet. With Joanne's help, Ezekiel managed to stand up. He had a touch of fear in his eyes, but he had no choice. Without Catelyn and Edwin, he would surely die here today. He said to Catelyn in a choked voice, "Catelyn, don't take the risk. These are none of your business..." "I'll take the first shot!" Catelyn didn't want to give Cedrick any time to hesitate. She picked up the pistol and pointed it at her temple. Cedrick instantly clenched h
Chapter 1076A dull sound was heard, but there was no bullet.Ezekiel took the pistol tremblingly. Even if there was a one-third chance of dying, he had to shoot at his temple in public.But there was still no bullet!Ezekiel was sweating profusely and put down the pistol. "Catelyn, only the last two magazines are left...""If God chooses me to atone for Aunt Janice’s death, take good care of my children." Catelyn's forehead was dripping with sweat. It would be a lie if she said that she was not afraid, but she had no way out. Her hands and feet were constantly shuddering with fright at this moment.Only two shots remained. Either she or Ezekiel would die on the spot.Catelyn’s eyes became darker and darker...So did Cedrick’s face.When Catelyn prepared to shoot at her temple...Crack!Cedrick went crazy suddenly. He pushed all the trays on the coffee table onto the ground. Like an enraged beast, he snatched the pistol from Catelyn's hand in a flash and threw it away. Gla
Chapter 1077‘There is no bullet in the last two magazines.’Suddenly, Eason thought of Edwin. ‘Edwin must have secretly emptied the magazines of the pistol. He has been playing in casinos and nightspots, so he is adept at cheating. It’s no wonder that he has deceived all of us.’All of them assumed that there must be a bullet in the six magazines.But they neglected the fact that Edwin wouldn’t put Catelyn at risk...In other words, they worked together to deceive Cedrick.…"I’m sorry...""Forgive me, Ceddy...""My baby. Protect my baby..."On the way to the hospital, Catelyn was unconscious, but she kept murmuring these words over and over again.Joanne talked with her in the ambulance to cheer her up, crying sadly.After Catelyn was rushed to the emergency room, Edwin and Joanne stayed outside anxiously.Ezekiel also came to the hospital, though he was very weak. Joanne wanted a doctor to examine him. After all, Catelyn saved him, having risked her life.Ezekiel was
Chapter 1078These people were Ezekiel, her unborn baby, Aunt Janice, and Ceddy."Don’t call her Aunt Janice! You are not worthy of her kindness.""You chose Ezekiel, not me!""Ezekiel is the murderer, but you are willing to protect him even if risking your life...""We’re done. I won't marry a murderer's daughter. Catelyn, get out. I don’t want to see you anymore. You can’t make it up to my aunt..."Countless words were heard, like needles piercing into her heart."No..."She covered her chest, feeling so anguished that she could hardly breathe. Suddenly, she sat up, but unexpectedly stretched her abdomen...Joanne had been sitting beside Catelyn. When she saw her wake up, she hurriedly held her shoulders to remind her to be careful."My baby, my baby...""Your baby is with you. Don't worry!" Joanne poured her a cup of hot water while comforting her. "But the doctor said your baby was in danger. You'd better stay in bed for the next few days."Catelyn bit her lower lip tig
Chapter 1079The woman looked like a prostitute. Even in the past, Edwin would not take a glance at women like her.However, Cedrick took a look at Susan and then opened his mouth...Susan took the opportunity to pour the red wine into his mouth.Cedrick didn’t refuse. Some red wine flowed from his lips, and he looked sexy and allured. Susan's eyes were glistening with infatuation. "Wow! Master Cedrick, you’re great. How about eating some fruit?"Susan picked up several grapes, her fingernails painted red. Edwin couldn't stand it anymore.He went to the speaker to turn off the music and then turned on the light.Suddenly...The originally dark orange room lit up, and the women in the private room were stunned for a moment. When they found it was Edwin who switched on the light, none of them dared to say anything."It’s over. Get out," Edwin ordered. The women had no choice but to leave reluctantly.Susan did not forget to place the grapes into Cedrick's mouth. He ate them, to
Chapter 1080Edwin immediately advised taking Cedrick home.Cedrick stood up expressionlessly, wiped off the sweat on his body with a towel, and went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes."Do you feel that your boss's menopause has come?" Edwin joked with Eason while they were waiting for Cedrick.Eason felt sad. "Mr. Atherton, did you say it seriously?""Certainly! I’m serious." Edwin raised his eyebrows with a half-smile."Mr. Mason has been in low spirits since Miss Coleman’s burial. I'm really worried that he's going to get sick." Eason sighed helplessly."Don't worry. Cedrick has vented his feelings after having such a fight tonight." Edwin believed that Cedrick would return to normal soon. Ten minutes later, Cedrick came out after changing his clothes. But unexpectedly, he ordered, "Eason, drive me to Mason Group.""Mr. Mason, it's already past one o'clock in the morning. Are you still going to the company?" Eason was shocked and secretly exchanged glanc
Chapter 1081Catelyn failed to notice there were so many reporters outside the hospital at first, but it was too late when she realized this.A large number of reporters gathered around with cameras on their backs.Catelyn just came out of the hospital, and she looked quite gaunt, as if a gust of wind could easily blow her away. Seeing her like this, the reporters pushed forward more desperately, asking questions one after another."Hello, Mrs. Mason, I'm a reporter from Star Weekly. Did you and your father Ezekiel cause the death of Miss Coleman?""Why are you in the hospital? Didn't Mr. Mason come with you?""Is your poor mental state related to Mr. Mason's new lover? You had a bitter quarrel with him at Miss Coleman's memorial service. Will you two get divorced? And what do you think of Mr. Mason's new lover saying that you should give up on him?"The reporters were pushing and shoving to get to the front, and several microphones almost poked Catelyn's face.Surrounded by bo
Chapter 1082Cedrick was not in Mason Group, and Charles was now in charge of company affairs on his behalf. After asking some employees, Catelyn knew that Cedrick was in a newly opened clubhouse. She insisted on seeing Cedrick, and Charles had no choice but to take her there.He didn't trust Catelyn to go there alone.As soon as they entered the door of the clubhouse, they heard deafening heavy metal music. The interior decoration was luxurious and gorgeous, with crystal chandeliers lighting the hall.Cedrick was in this clubhouse."Is Susan a nice person?" Inside the elevator, Catelyn asked Charles absently. She had browsed Susan's Twitter on their way here. Except for some provocative words targeting her, most of Susan's tweets showed off her expensive designer bags and various countries' cuisines. Charles got a little nervous, and he said with a flattering smile, "She is just an online celebrity. As a superficial gold digger, she is not qualified to compare with you!""But
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
