Miles felt like he was meat on a chopping board. He put up a vehement struggle, and Cedrick had a hard time holding him still.Luckily, it was a short distance from the center of the pool to the side.Cedrick moved so swiftly that he was already making his way out of the pool in the blink of an eye. Water dripped down from his body as he got to the side of the pool and placed Miles on the ground carefully.Miles, not expecting he would be put down, ended up punching the air instead. He took two steps back to balance himself.His eyes widened and looked at Cedrick unblinkingly.Since his clothes were entirely drenched, Cedrick started unbuttoning his shirt and took it off along with his belt, revealing his buff build.It was Miles's first time to see such a good and strong body, and his jaw dropped at the sight.He secretly clenched his fist to flex his biceps before pinching it, only to feel mere fat. It was nothing like Cedrick's muscular body."Master Cedrick, here's your rob
Albert felt his heart melting at the sight of Cedrick and 'Ollie', having captured the moment on the camera. The boy had often expressed his distaste toward Cedrick, yet he would also mimic him.It was a rare sight to see the two interacting harmoniously."Master Cedrick, I forgot to tell you something," Albert chimed in gently.Cedrick asked, "What's the matter?""We received a message from your hometown. Miss Janice misses you dearly and would like you to visit sometimes." Albert had also just received the call earlier, but he did not have the heart to intrude, seeing the father-son duo were having quality time.Janice was Cedrick's aunt, who was also one of the relatives that he cared the most about.Cedrick thought that Janice was bothered by the fact that Maia wanted to cancel the engagement and thus replied, "Got it, I'll go back this weekend."It so happened that he had something to tell her, too.…Catelyn had a long sleep and finally mustered enough strength to head o
Catelyn stared blankly at the phone screen, and the light of the desk lamp reflected her eyebrows on the dark screen.She knew very well that a design draft was of the utmost importance to its creator, so she had kept hers well-protected at all times, not to mention the draft for the competition in which she had completed the entire process at home.There was no outsider in the house, so it could not have been stolen.Could Stella have done it? Impossible.It had to be someone else…It was Queenie! She had intruded on her mobile phone that day, taking pictures around with it!At that moment, Catelyn's design draft was placed above the desk. Queenie must have discovered it and then used her design on it, which caused the original to be slandered as plagiarism!…At night.The headquarters of Chandier Jewelry was located in one of the most prosperous business districts in Sapphire City.The female person in charge hung up the phone and respectfully looked at the woman sitting a
The housekeeper had instructed the servant to serve Catelyn some tea."Please wait for a moment, Miss Clark. Young Master had gone out to run some errands," said the old housekeeper. There was a hint of tiredness in his voice when he spoke.Catelyn was about to mention that she was here for Queenie when suddenly, a high-pitched female voice came from the second floor. It sounded like a desperate little beast neighing in pain, accompanied by the crackling sound of items smashed—"Catelyn! This is all your fault, you wench!""I'm going to kill you!""Don't come any closer! Stay away!""Save me, brother! W—Where are you?! Please, save me!"This shrieking voice was very familiar to Catelyn. It was Queenie.She looked at the housekeeper in bewilderment.The housekeeper did not have the time to care about Catelyn, thus he called the maid in a hurry and said, "Quick, the young lady is sick again. Prepare a tranquilizer, immediately!"A group of people rushed to the second floor.Ca
"The world is full of mysteries," replied Miles as he rolled around the bed.He looked forward to switching back their identities, when he could then reunite with his mother at long last.Miles had missed her terribly.Ollie's eyebrows knitted to a frown. "No matter how coincidently matters can get, there will never be two people who look the same.""Although I'm very reluctant to acknowledge my old man, he is the nephew of Big Demon. They both look alike, and we're their sons respectively. Looking at it this way, it's not surprising that we both look alike as well," said Miles.He paused a while and abruptly raised his eyebrows and said to Ollie with a hint of warning, "Don't try to change the subject, or I won't let you have Mommy again."Ollie pouted. True, he did try to divert Miles' attention so he could continue to stay by Aunt Catelyn's side.Even so…The questions he asked were also genuine."I did some research. There's only one possibility on why we both look the exa
Warmth spread throughout Catelyn's heart when she heard George's words. "Thank you," she said, "and don't worry about it. I'll go to the construction site later, and I'll update you about specific issues. Is that alright?""Of course, as long as you don't mind the trouble," replied George.Their phone call ended soon after, but the moment it did, Catelyn's mind was clouded with her fight with Jamie.He and his mother had piled up all the blame for Queenie's defilement on her. Moreover, they did not really want custody of Miles—they just wanted to make her suffer!Lori had even said that she would torture Miles every day after she got custody of him. She would make him kneel in front of everyone from the Mason family to atone for his sins.Catelyn could not sit still. Miles was her son, her flesh and blood. She would not allow him to be taken away and bullied like this!Lawyer…Speaking of which, finding a reliable lawyer to fight this lawsuit would be the most important thing to
The previous receptionist had the thought of pleasing certain celebrities and brought them to the CEO's office, and that receptionist ended up getting fired for it.Just as Catelyn was thinking about giving Cedrick a call, she saw Charles walking in through the door.Seeing Catelyn being stared at by the security guard, Charles quickly stepped forward and asked the receptionist, "What's going on?"The receptionist suddenly became very respectful with Charles around."Mister Peterson, Miss Clark wanted to see Master Cedrick, but she didn't have an appointment set up with him.""I know this lady. I'll take her up," said Charles. He was pleasantly surprised to see Catelyn. Was she not the reason Cedrick was in a bad mood recently?Since she was here, how could he not bring her up to him?Charles smiled and greeted Catelyn, "Long time no see, Miss Clark."Catelyn remembered seeing Charles at the Barricade Club, where she hid under the table while he played cards with Cedrick.Cate
"Alright, I'll fix it right away," said Catelyn.She erased the original design section, re-outlined the whole draft, and made some adjustments according to the proportions.It was difficult to do her work while lying on her stomach on the ground, so she simply squatted beside the coffee table.Cedrick just glanced at her indifferently, but he suddenly felt a burning sensation inside as if a flame within him had just started.He leaned back and put one hand on the sofa cushion, averting his gaze from her. He then took a cigarette out from his pocket and lit it.The cigarette butt glowed and dimmed as he took a puff. While the smoke lingered around the room, it did not seem to bother Catelyn. Once she was in her serious working mood, nothing around could distract her.After what seemed to be a long time, Catelyn finished her drawing and handed it to Cedrick hurriedly, not wanting to waste his precious time. Her pencil unexpectedly fell on the ground, and she bent down to pick it u
