Chapter 1355This time the caller was Alfred.Cedrick knew Alfred's intention before he answered the phone.Cedrick worried that Alfred would keep calling, so he quietly answered the call.When Alfred heard Cedrick's voice, he immediately changed his tone and questioned, "Cedrick, what's going on with the picture? What were you doing? How could you allow someone to post Aunt Carrey's picture on the Internet? Don't you know how much influence it will have on Aunt Carrey? How do you want Catelyn to face other people in the future? Those people who spread the picture are obviously aimed at you. If you can't protect Aunt Carrey and Catelyn, then leave Catelyn alone!"Cedrick was not satisfied with Alfred's aggressive tone and said, "I admit that I didn't do a good job. Who are you to accuse me, Mr. Wagner?"Alfred sneered and became angrier. "I am Catelyn's ex-fiance, her brother in name, and her mother's godson. Will that be enough to accuse you?"Cedrick forced himself to calm dow
Chapter 1356Noticing his serious expression, Catelyn rinsed her mouth, spit out the bubbles, and asked, "What has happened? Don't scare me."Looking at her anxious face, Cedrick couldn't bear to tell her the truth though he had initially planned to do so.It was her mother who was hurt. Was Catelyn prepared to accept the truth? Cedrick replied, "I admit that Ollie guessed right. I was thinking about a woman last night. But the woman was you."At his words, Catelyn didn’t know what to say. She had thought that he would say something serious.But his expression was so serious just now that he shouldn’t have cracked a joke.She narrowed her eyes and queried, "Is this really what you intend to say?"Cedrick smiled and walked to encircle her waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. His serious expression had been replaced by his usual calmness."Besides, I plan to say I miss you, and I don’t want our sons to divert your attention from me."She pressed her lips and
Chapter 1357Catelyn stared into Cedrick's eyes and said seriously, "You're not going to say it, right? Then I'll go to the front desk and borrow the phone to call Alfred or just go confront Sofia. You should know that I can do it."Cedrick closed his eyes slightly, secretly suppressing the churning anger. He knew there was no point in hiding it any longer."Don't worry. Sofia didn't do anything to you, but...""But what?""Your mom." Cedrick spat out two words and explained, "Previously, we only knew that Ezekiel had hurt your mom, but it turns out that Ezekiel also took pictures which somehow fell into Sofia's hands. Now she's posted them online, which has stirred up a huge disturbance, and you are involved...""My mom?" Catelyn's face turned even paler.She wished she had suffered instead of her mom."Where are the pictures?" Catelyn held on to the wall to keep herself from swaying and said urgently, "Where are the pictures? Show me!""I've already controlled the transmissi
Chapter 1358Furious, Granny Atherton ignored Edwin’s excuse, “Summer! It’s Summer. I’m certain of that!” She was enraged by Summer’s sufferings and people’s speculation about Catelyn. “Who the hell abused Summer and even posted these photos? Does he have a grudge against our family?” She asked Edwin angrily.She knew exactly what chastity meant to a woman.The release of these photos brought shame on Summer.“Look, Granny, this is actually a strike against Kitty and Ced. Ced has contacted the media outlets, and the situation will be under control soon. He can soon fix it.”Although Granny Atherton was no longer involved with the Atherton family's matters after she recovered from illness last year, her mind remained sharp.“Is it the man who stole Jennie?”Edwin did not want to upset Granny Atherton, who was already in poor health. However, he nodded after a few moments’ hesitance, “You’re right. Kitty has been meeting Mr. Denham‘s recently.”“Didn’t she go to meet Mr. Swale?”
Chapter 1359"Thank you, Ms. Evans.""Stop! Who are you? Here is Mason Group. Mason Group doesn't receive visitors today. You can't go in." The moment Trevor and Sofia reached the gate, a middle-aged man in uniform with a security armband came over and stopped them. "What are you talking about?" Trevor stepped ahead of Sofia and glared at the security guard. "The boss of Mason Group has changed. Don't you even know who your new boss is?"Hearing Trevor’s words, the security guard became startled.It was said in the morning that Cedrick had transferred the shares to someone else, and the person also secretly bought the shares from other shareholders...The news caused a sensation soon after it was spread.Then the security guard bowed to Sofia. "Madam, are you the new boss? It's an honor to meet you. My name is Jimmy. I'm the guard. Some people have been coming to cause trouble here since 5 a.m. We have just called the police to take them away. When I saw you, I thought you were
Chapter 1360 Charles was excited all the way, "Mr. Jones, you take over the company right on time! Mr. Mason has changed dramatically lately, and he is very critical of his employees. He has failed several large investment projects, and he has lost a lot of money in the overseas market. If you hadn't taken over the Mason Group, we really didn't know how long the company could survive..." Trevor's eyebrows jerked, "What did you say? Overseas market?" Sofia looked at Charles coldly. Charles's face changed color slightly. Then he pretended to have said something wrong and hurriedly said with a smile, "Ah, you don't know yet? Mr. Jones, please ignore what I have said." Trevor shouted, "Tell me clearly!" Charles had no choice but to tell them about the current situation. The Mason Group was originally short of funds. After Cedrick came back, he invested abroad wantonly, and he competed with Trevor, causing the share price of the Mason Group to fall, so the investors stopped t
Chapter 1361Just then, the security guard rushed over and reported, "Mr. Jones, here comes another group of people claiming their money back. They are making a fuss in the conference room..." Sofia was annoyed and she yelled, "Who let them come into the conference room? Kick them away!" The security guard gave an embarrassed look, "You instructed me earlier to let them wait in the conference room and you said our company had enough money and that you would have the finance department prepare the money for them." Sofia was embarrassed, but she couldn't refute the security guard. She did say the company had money. And now she was furious. The debtors were getting louder and louder in the conference room. They kept bellowing. "Where's your boss?" "Don’t you have plenty of money? When are you going to pay me back my 10 million dollars? I heard that some of the creditors were taken to the police station because you charged them with rioting! You owe us money and you shou
Chapter 1362 "My boss gave me a strict order. I have to get the money back! Or I'll be fired!" The man with a dragon tattoo rolled up his sleeves and roared gruffly. Another man with a tiger tattoo patted his thigh and cried miserably, “You just will be fired, but I’m going to disappear from Sapphire City if I don't get the money back..." "Hey, you guys are luckier than me. If I don't get the money back, my whole family will be cut up and fed to the sharks, so please pay the money back." Trevor was speechless. He found that the people who came to ask for the debt were not the legal people of those companies but a group of special debt collectors employed by those companies. In other words, it was no use talking to them about repayment dates. Trevor said a lot and used many ways to calm down these debt collectors and stall for time. Finally, Ralph came back in a hurry. Ralph was petrified when he heard the roar of a large group of people in the conference room, thinking,
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
