"L—Let me explain, Louella." Jamie mustered an innocent expression. "It was Catelyn who dragged me here, and I didn't want to. She said she was feverish, and you can tell it too, can't you? I swear, Louella, please believe me. If I ever lie to you, I deserve to be struck by thunder."Tears streamed down Louella's cheeks. Even though she wanted to believe Jamie, the truth made it hard for her to do so.Her beautiful eyes were filled with bitterness and sorrow."You were the one who claimed that you had never loved Catelyn. You said it was always Catelyn that was pestering you, that she gave birth to that child to blackmail you. If that's the case, why didn't you just leave her to be taken care of by the staff when she is feverish? Why did you get a room with her?"Louella could not continue as sobs of sorrow overtook her. "If you're still in love with her, don't ever show yourself to me again!""I swear, I don't like her…"Jamie did not have the heart to break things off with Loue
"Don't worry, we know what to do."In a few seconds, the men set up the camera and faced it toward Catelyn. A small bead of red light from the camera lit up, signaling that the video recording was turned on.Instinctively, Catelyn attempted to cover her face."Oh, sweet Catelyn! Don't blame me for doing this, it's all your fault. Edwin is mine, so why did you try and fight with me over him? When your reputation is finally damaged beyond repair, I'll figure out a way to make sure you're alive."Queenie then pointed at the three men. "Pick one, or would you prefer three at one go?"Catelyn's mind was already a mess at this point as beads of sweat started to form on her forehead.She had never loathed Queenie as much as she did at this very minute."Edwin will never like you even if I'm ruined, Queenie! Just let me go now, and I'll help you establish that relationship…"Catelyn was losing her senses as she felt her body burning and her heart tingling. Even pain could no longer kee
Edwin and Lola were both from the Atherton family. Even though they were remotely related, Lola had to address Edwin as her cousin.Lola did not have the chance to call him her cousin before this day. However, Granny Atherton became very fond of her and brought her into her inner circle. Lola was also capable enough to have mingled well with the rest of the family and thus could finally address Edwin as her cousin."A room?" Edwin almost choked on his wine.His expression changed. "You shouldn't make up stories, Lola.""No, I'm not, honest! If you don't believe me, you can go upstairs and check."Even though Lola was saying this to Edwin, she would glance at Cedrick from the corner of her eye, wanting to see how he would react. She wanted to see if Cedrick could still be loyal to her, even when confronted with her promiscuous actions.Cedrick's pupils constricted upon hearing Lola's words."Where is she?" His tone was dark with a hint of disdain.Lola told him the room number.
James winked at the hostess, and the hostess then pressed a button on the laptop upon receiving the signal.A video popped up on the screen."Ngh… Ah!""No! H—Help!""Save me, Jamie! Save me!"James was befuddled to hear such noises. The video that he prepared was about the developments in the city in the past years, so why was there a woman's voice in the background?He turned to look at the screen and was immediately shocked at the stupefying sight.On the screen was a big soft bed, on which were three filthy big men, as well as a woman screaming in pain. Moreover, the woman's hair was messy and was all over her face, thus obscuring her face.They seemed to not realize that their obscene behavior was streamed publicly and acted even more scandalously.The hostess was stunned, too, and quickly attempted to take control of the computer system. Alas, no matter which buttons she clicked, nothing happened, and the video continued to play.Lola watched the stream, and every ounce
"Unplug it then, you blockhead!"Lori was hysterical at this point. Unable to wait for the hostess to wrap everything up, she rushed up the stage and unplugged everything.However, she was too angry to notice the steps and tripped, sending her to the ground on all fours. Her dress shuffled upward in her fall, exposing her nude color underpants.Embarrassed, she hastily adjusted the hem of her dress."Goodness, that's inappropriate!""This mother-daughter duo is just disgusting.""I heard that Henry Atherton's daughter is going to be married to Lori Schmidt's son. I feel pity for Miss Atherton…"Lori could not take the crowd's mockery.With red-rimmed eyes, she climbed up and dashed to the screen, searching for the power socket. The moment she spotted it, she unplugged the cable instantly.Before the power was cut out from the screen, one of the men was seen holding a sharp knife, tearing a long cut on Queenie's delicate face. Blood oozed out of her cheek and spurted on the cam
What did Lola mean by she was taking the blame for what happened to Queenie?What did she do?!Lori's behavior terrified Lola, and her wrist ached painfully due to Lori's vice-like grip.However, the more furious Lori was, the more advantage Lola had."Listen to me, Aunt Lori." Lola's eyes turned glossy with tears as she spoke, sobbing, "Queenie and I wanted to punish Catelyn for humiliating you, and we thought of recording some humiliating videos of hers."We…just didn't expect Catelyn to hire a few men to do this to Queenie."Lori could feel blood shooting up her skull, her vessels bulging. Hatred and rage filled her, and she finally exploded. She clenched her jaw and hissed out two words."Catelyn Clark!"That sly fox! Not only did she ruin herself, but she also ruined Queenie!Seeing Lori's expression, Lola was pleased.Nonetheless, she decided to take this further and added, "Now that everyone at the event has seen the video, I'm…just concerned how Queenie will face the
Cedrick's car was barely three centimeters away from the other car, and they nearly crashed into one another.Cedrick's face was red, though it was either due to rage or excessive emotional suppression.He furiously held up Catelyn by her collar and snarled, "Catelyn, sit properly, now!"Catelyn suddenly tilted her little face and looked up at him, then planted a kiss on his lips.…"B*tch!" Jamie threw his phone against the wall, causing it to shatter as it fell to the floor.He tugged at his tie, enraged.He lost Catelyn to another man, again!Even though he had divorced Catelyn a long time ago, he still felt as though she cheated on him.She was raising his son, so how could she do this with another man?This was betrayal!…The morning sun shone through the window panes and landed softly on the clean, white sheets. Catelyn slowly woke up from her dreams.She felt like her head was splitting as though she had a hangover. She was so weak that she did not feel like liftin
"You…" Catelyn, flustered and annoyed altogether, folded her arms at her chest defensively. "Don't touch me."Cedrick admired her flustered expression from a distance.He had not slept so soundly for a long while."Nothing happened between us last night!" Catelyn sputtered, subconsciously raising her voice when she did, as though nothing happened between them if she did.Cedrick was about to say something but decided not to.He wanted to tell Catelyn what happened that night, but seeing her in such a state…He looked displeased. "Well, if nothing happened, what did?"Catelyn subconsciously held the blanket tightly in her fists, her grip so firm that she nearly punctured her fingers right through the fabric."Do you see these?" Cedrick pointed at his muscular chest. "These long marks are all your masterpieces.""I didn't…" Catelyn was flustered. Her face became tinted with pink as she muttered, her long lashes fluttering, "I don't remember anything! Even if anything happened, i
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
