Chapter 1756Elliot’s handsome face clouded over. He looked at Joanne and sneered, “Ms. Walters, fine, you win. Edwin has been my friend for many years, but you sow disorder between Edwin and me with a few words. No wonder Vivian doesn’t have the guts to tell me how you bullied her.”Joanne was stuck for words. ‘What I said is all the truth. How can Elliot say that I sow disorder between Edwin and him?‘It’s Vivian who sows disorder between them.’Suddenly, Edwin sneered, “Humph...”Edwin became serious and aloof.“Elliot, don’t slander my wife. She’s reluctant to see you now. Leave here with your lover!”‘Edwin is asking me to leave here seriously?’Elliot narrowed his eyes.Vivian was also surprised.‘Edwin and Elliot were acquainted with each other when they studied abroad. They have been friends for many years, but now Edwin asks Elliot to leave just because of Joanna?‘How has Joanna bewitched Edwin?’Elliot stood there dumbfounded. After a while, he said angrily, “A
Chapter 1757Benjamin said to Joanne, “It’s strange that Elliot was so unreasonable and impulsive. After he calms down, he will realize that he’s wrong. At that time, I will take him to apologize to you. Please don’t refuse.”But Joanne shook her head. “No. Please don’t take him to see me.”Hearing that, Benjamin frowned and asked, “Are you unwilling to forgive him?”Joanne shook her index finger. “It’s not like that. I just think it’s unnecessary. Besides, I dislike his female partner.”Although Joanne said so to Benjamin, she still apologized to Edwin in private.Edwin looked at Joanne.“What do you want to say?”“Elliot is your good friend, but you broke with him because of me. If the news is spread, it will tarnish your reputation...”Edwin interrupted Joanne and raised her chin with his slender finger.“Tell me. Did Vivian piss you off before?” ‘If there were no inside stories, Joanne wouldn’t have refused Vivian’s name card for no reason. Especially, Vivian was my fri
Chapter 1758Edwin rolled his eyes and grimaced, "Cedrick, you should pay more attention to Catelyn. Give her something to do. Otherwise, she just gossips all day. She's not the simple, sweet girl she used to be." Cedrick snorted, "You should, too." Joanne felt annoyed being drawn into their fight. 'It's my birthday. Can't they make peace for my sake?' "Okay, Edwin, I'm not going to argue with you. I want to ask you something." Catelyn suddenly became serious. The playful smile on her face immediately disappeared. Seeing the grave look on Catelyn's face, Edwin realized it was something important. "What is it?" "I heard that your people found a mine outside a village in Enigma Hollow a few days ago and that you sent people to guard the mine. Is it true?" Catelyn inquired.Edwin nodded.It was a coincidence. He sent people to look for birthday gifts for Joanne. Unexpectedly, his people found that mine in Enigma Hollow. Currently, they were exploring that mine.
Chapter 1759However, these were all legends, so that was why Catelyn thought of the team that Edwin had sent out recently.To develop mining operations on the outskirts of Enigma Hollow, they must have met with the people in that hidden village."Alright, I will immediately introduce the team leader to you," Edwin said seriously, looking at Cedrick with an indescribable expression on his face.Cedrick felt Edwin's "compassionate" look and furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't think of me as so fragile. I've been coexisting with this virus for over thirty years, and it hasn't killed me yet.""I can't help but sympathize with you when seeing you like this." Edwin patted Cedrick's shoulder and sincerely expressed his sympathy. "It's all because of your grandfather's mistress. Why did she poison him with a hereditary virus? Will my two adorable nephews also get this disease?"Cedrick fell into a silent silence upon hearing this.If he was the only one to suffer, it would be fine.But the
Chapter 1760The man arranged for two men to help Catelyn and Cedrick with their luggage and introduced himself with a smile, "Mr. Mason, Mrs. Mason, it’s an honor to meet you. I'm Kevin Fillion. Just call me Kevin." Cedrick carried Catelyn off the helicopter and headed for the lounge. He was wearing a black trench coat. His tall figure looked determined as he walked in the blowing wind. He asked Kevin as he walked toward the lounge, "Did Edwin tell you the plan?" Kevin repeatedly nodded. "Yes, Mr. Atherton told me everything, but we rarely go to that village. Only one of our men has been to that village accidentally. Mr. Mason, wait a moment, I'll let him give you more details." Then Kevin called a very thin, small man. The man had dark skin and he looked honest. His name was Tony. According to Tony, the isolated village was in a large virgin forest. One day, Tony entered that village by accident. He got separated from his fellow workers and accidentally fell int
Chapter 1761Hearing Cedrick’s words, Catelyn raised her head and said firmly, "No! Didn't we agree that I would always stay with you?" "You've heard Keven say that this is a primeval forest. Countless dangers are in there. I can't let you come with me. Listen to me. Wait for me here. I'll pick you up as soon as I find the entrance." Cedrick stroked Catelyn's cheek. Through the shadowy light, she clearly saw his sharp face and the worries hidden in his eyes. ‘He plans to leave me here just because it's dangerous? We have faced so many dangers together.’ Catelyn thought. She didn’t agree to be separated from Cedrick, "You guys walk in front, and I will be right behind you. I promise not to rush forward. If someone is bitten by a snake or a worm, I can help. I will not slow you down." Cedrick looked at her deeply and then said forcefully, "I've made up my mind." "You..." "If you insist on coming with me, I will arrange a helicopter to take you back to Sapphire City. Our ki
Chapter 1762A lean figure emerged from the dense forest wearing simple sports gear and heavy snake-proof shoes. On her head was a black cap.Keven brought her to Cedrick.Cedrick lifted her cap, and his face instantly fell."It's you!"A dirty face peeked out from under the hat, clearly adorned with intentional makeup. However, in the depths of the untouched forest, where dew-laden grass and foliage thrived, she found herself surrounded by vegetation even taller than her. The natural dampness of the surroundings effortlessly moistened her face.Stunned, Keven pointed at the woman."Mrs. Mason? Oh my God! How did you get here?"Catelyn smiled at them awkwardly."Catelyn!"Cedrick forced the words out of his girted teeth. His anger was plain to see.Although he led an experienced team deep into the mountains, they all fell for traps. He couldn't believe that she had been following them.Worst still, he hadn't discovered her presence until now."Hi, the weather is nice today
Chapter 1763According to the map and the explanation from Keven, it would take another day or two to reach the village.That night, Cedrick and the others had to set up camp in a comparatively safer forest.They had planned to camp in a cave.But the trees there were too dense, and the nearest cave they found was too dark and deep. No one could tell if it was safe inside.So, instead of wasting time exploring, they found a comparatively safer place to camp and rest.They let someone keep watch all night.At night, the group lit two blazing bonfires to drive away insects and beasts and keep themselves warm.Cedrick was still trying to persuade Catelyn to go back."We're already deep inside. If I go back, it will take at least a day, and we might encounter the same dangers we faced on the way back. Are you willing to take that risk?" Catelyn snuggled up to him.The warm flicker of the firelight enhanced her beauty, casting a captivating and enchanting glow upon her flawless fa
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
