Catelyn, although initially swayed by Edwin's offer, decided to decline his offer after hearing that last part.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that."

Edwin's flirty eyes widened as he said, "There's no advantage to you if you decline."

"It's none of my business who Cedrick decided to have a beef with. If I accept your offer and don't fulfill my promise, it'll be hard for me."

Edwin grinned; gone was his nonchalant expression. He passed the invitation card to her again and patted her hair like he would with a little girl.

"I was just kidding with you! Lola is just a relative, and I'm not in any position to interfere. I just happened to hear that Ollie loves you very much, and I'm impressed meeting you today."

Catelyn stared as Edwin smoothed her hair. Why…did it feel like a pet being groomed?

She edged to the side, her expression calm and collected.

"I'm flattered."

Edwin was the eldest son of the Atherton family's branch, but he had left the family when he was younger a

    Standing before the mirror, Catelyn adjusted her gown slightly. She lifted her chin a little and looked at the woman in the mirror who was being groomed. She had an illusion that this was not the world that she lived in.She remembered how four years ago, she would wear pretty gowns like this to attend all sorts of functions.Over the past four years, she had lived so pathetically that she almost could not recognize herself.…Cedrick had received the same dinner invitation, too, which was organized by the retiring Mister James. In fact, he had invited the elders of the Mason family and Clark family. However, the elders pushed the invitation to the younger generation in their family instead.Thus, Cedrick would be entering the hall with Maia.Maia knew that she had left a very bad impression of herself to Cedrick that day at the Mason Estate, and she intended to salvage that.Hence, before the dinner, she deliberately put on a fair bit of makeup, and she looked captivating. She

    However, Maia was sure that the man that night was not Cedrick Mason, and the room she was in was not Room 520 either.It had been four years. Why was Cedrick digging into this?Was he trying to investigate her past?Ever since she got engaged to Cedrick, Maia had been loyal to him and only him.Maia frantically flipped through the stack of papers. The information collected was quite comprehensive, and other than related documents and photos, there were even videos.Everything from the moment Cedrick entered Four Seasons Hotel was recorded, including the staff who entered and left the hotel.Her gaze finally fell and fixated on one of the snapshots of the surveillance footage.The girl in the snapshot was…Catelyn!The snapshot from the surveillance footage at the restaurant opposite Four Seasons Hotel showed that Catelyn was there at the hotel that night, too.What kind of coincidence was that?Could Catelyn be the girl Cedrick was looking for?No… This could not be!The Cl

    The Ferrare door opened, and Edwin stepped out. He then opened the passenger seat door and invited Catelyn out like a gentleman. Catelyn stood on her ten centimeters tall heels and smiled sweetly while standing next to Edwin.On the other hand, the Mercedis Maybach's door opened, and Cedrick held Maia's hand while they exited. They also looked like a perfect pair, with Maia wearing a fiery red gown that brought out her figure while standing next to the dashing Cedrick.Her black hair was tied in a high bun with a small strand dangling casually by her ear. The reporters were all ready by the door of the hotel.Ka-chick! Ka-chick!The cameras flashed incessantly, more dramatic than the Met Gala."Oh my goodness! Look! It's Cedrick Mason and Maia Clark!""That pair must be Edwin Atherton with his new girlfriend!""This dinner must be such an important one. All the important people of Sapphire City are here…""I heard that Cedrick never liked to show up at public events. This t

    Cedrick and Edwin always appeared in the public's eyes together. One of them was always cold and icy, and the other was dangerously alluring. Their vibes and appearances were very distinctive from one another, but right now, it was hard to tell who was more captivating. As for the ladies, Maia's makeup was more delicate. She looked absolutely gorgeous, and her smile was gentle but arrogant at the same time. Somehow she looked a little deliberate and restrained while standing next to Cedrick.Catelyn's movements were graceful. She walked around casually, unbothered. They both were sisters. Naturally, they shared some resemblances.When they stood together, Catelyn stood out more. Maia saw that a few reporters had given more of their attention to Catelyn and Edwin and felt annoyed. She had prepared for this night for half a month as soon as she knew they were attending the function. How could Catelyn steal her thunder?"Catelyn, why are you here?" Suddenly, a woman said amongs

    On the other hand, Maia and Cedrick were also observing Edwin. The corner of Maia's lips curved slightly upward when she saw Edwin and Catelyn leaving. She pretended to be confused and tugged at Cedrick's shirt as she said, "I had to take a close look to realize that Edwin's company today is Catelyn."She tried to read Cedrick's expression after saying that. Cedrick was still expressionless, as usual.No one knew what was on his mind. Maia then continued, "Do you still remember? We bumped into Catelyn at the restaurant when we had dinner with Ollie the other day. Catelyn used to be very popular at school. She had a long list of ex-boyfriends and was even caught red-handed in bed with someone.""I really wish she takes her relationship with Edwin seriously, for once.""I am also to blame. When Ezekiel ran into trouble, I should have helped."As Maia went on and on about Catelyn's ugly past, Cedrick's expression became colder and colder. He did not even bother to hide his cont

    What?Cedrick drank from this glass earlier?Catelyn's facial expression changed. She quickly placed the wine glass back on the table and stood up awkwardly.When had he placed his wine glass in front of her?"I'm sorry, I did not know that this was yours. I am going to get you another one." Catelyn forced an awkward smile and hastily went to the serving area again.She looked like she could not wait to leave. Cedrick looked slightly confused. Was she afraid of him?He would not bite?Edwin watched their interaction at the side and whistled lightly. "Tsk, did you not see Maia's jealous expression? Why are you still showing yourself here?"Cedrick seemed to be slightly loosened up but still said in a cold tone, "Stay away from her.""Her? Which her?" Edwin pretended not to know.Cedrick did not hesitate and announced, "Catelyn."Edwin grinned mischievously, "I thought you were not interested in her.""Ollie likes her very much, and I have an obligation to ensure her safety

    Cedrick replied slowly yet sternly, "Did you touch my folders in the office this afternoon?"Maia stopped breathing, her pupils subconsciously constricted. "What folders? I am not sure…"Cedrick watched her reaction. His handsome face was gloomy. "I am sure you are very clear about one thing: our engagement stemmed from that fateful night four years ago. If I found out that you had been lying to me all along…""I am not sure what you are talking about."Maia's face turned green as she replied stubbornly, "We have been together for so long, and you do not have any trust in me? Or, you have never really valued our relationship?"Cedrick placed his glass down and observed Maia's reaction as he did so. "It is about responsibility and commitment between us."In other words, there was no love.Maia clenched her fist. She could not let Cedrick find out about the truth.He mistook her for another woman four years ago and was always so cold to her. If he found out about the truth…

    Catelyn was pinching hard on the stem of the wine glass. She? Sing for everyone?In fact, everyone in the Clark family knew that she was a very bad singer and would go off-key most of the time. Maia obviously wanted to make a fool out of her in front of everyone!Catelyn froze in her spot for a long while.There were gazes from all directions, and people started to murmur. "Oh my God, where does she think she is? What a shameless person.""I heard that she is really bad at singing. We will have a good laugh out of it.""Why is she not up on the stage?""The lights were already dimmed for her. She should not waste other people's time…"The hostess heard the murmurs too and grinned again. "Ms. Catelyn, the audio system is ready. Please do not feel nervous, and you may come on to the stage now…""Catelyn Clark is the daughter of Ezekiel Clark, the murderer?""I heard that when Ezekiel was caught, the Mason family canceled the marriage right away. She is quite pretty. No won

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.

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.

    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

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.

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.
