Chapter 1778Evelyn stuck out her tongue and apologized to Seth.Seth frowned. “Miss Swan has become an adult today and isn’t a kid anymore. She’d better not joke like that again!”“Mr. Gale, you’re right.” Slade waved his hand, looked around, and fixed his eyes on Catelyn, who he didn’t know. “Are you the girl from outside?”Catelyn greeted Slade. Slade wasn’t as arrogant as Evenly. On the contrary, he was easygoing.Evelyn gave the host seat to Slade. Then they announced that the party had started.The servants started to serve dishes, and beautiful dancing girls started to dance.These middle-aged men whispered to each other. When they saw the beautiful dancing girls, they would make comments. They were lecherous.Catelyn had been teased by Evelyn. Thus, she didn’t eat. She had eaten in Dana’s home and wasn’t hungry now.“There are so many delicious dishes. You must haven’t seen them before. Seize the chance and taste them!” However, Evelyn continued to provoke Catelyn and
Chapter 1779However, Slade’s expression became more serious. “Do you know the origin of the virus?”Catelyn shook her head.“I only know that a woman developed it to take revenge on a man.”Slade suddenly sneered, “To be honest with you, my ancestor developed it! About several decades ago, when I was just a little kid, a woman fell into our village by accident. After she heard that my father had such a kind of virus that could be inherited and adapt to new environments, she stole it!”‘What? The origin of the virus is here!’Catelyn felt a sudden surge of anger. “Now that the virus is so dangerous, why did you develop it and didn’t keep it well? If it’s spread widely and many people are infected, it will be a catastrophe!”Slade had been the chief of the village for many years. No one had dared challenge his authority and speak to him like that before.Catelyn realized that her attitude was too drastic.“I’m sorry that I’m too drastic because my husband is suffering from the
Chapter 1780Slade frowned but was persuaded by Evelyn. He was the village head, and everyone obeyed his orders, but the outsiders didn’t. After all, the wealth accumulated for more than a hundred years seemed huge, but it was still far worse than the money possessed by those rich people outside the village. If he could have a rich son-in-law... "Ms. Clark, it's not that I don't help you, but that I have only one daughter, and I've always met all her needs. If my condition for saving him is to let him marry my daughter, will you divorce him?" Catelyn sneered in her heart and just said calmly, "Sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer now." "Didn't you keep saying that you would do anything to save him?" Evelyn showed a ferocious face and stared at Catelyn. "Yes, I said that. I would do anything for him, but that doesn't mean I will unilaterally abandon our relationship and make such a cruel decision for him." Catelyn’s tone was neither humble nor arrogant. Evelyn want
Chapter 1781This place was really disgusting!"Since the rule over the eastern area is so dark, why didn't you guys escape?""The village head says the people in the outside world are fiercer. They often kill, set fire, kidnap, and rob. It's better to stay in the village, but that's unfair for those families with beautiful girls and handsome boys," Dana explained. Catelyn immediately clenched the hands on the sides of her legs. "That's a lie. The society is now ruled by law. No one can kill others at will. Everyone is equal and enjoys all the rights a normal person has."In order to sustain the centralized rule, Sebastian Swan even lied to these people? The development of the eastern area showed that they had begun communicating with the outside world a long time ago, but they kept telling those in the western area that violence was everywhere outside. How ridiculous!Dana looked at her with disbelief, "Isn't it a world of ganglands?""That was decades ago. The ganglands h
Chapter 1782"Mr. Mason, I heard from Mrs. Mason that you were hoping that we could help you detoxify a virus that has been passed down through generations in your family and your body. Is that true?" Cedrick was honest. With a dominant look on his handsome face, he replied, "Yes, I can give you whatever you want if you can cure me of the virus." 'Wow! This guy is so confident!' Evelyn's heart pounded violently and her cheeks began to blush. In the village, she was the princess. No matter how handsome the men in the village were, they were all her servants. This was the first time she'd met a man as honorable as Cedrick. "I see. I can cure the virus for you, but what if I want you to divorce your wife and marry me?" Evelyn was direct. Evelyn had always been treated like the apple of Slade's eye, not only because she was the only daughter, but more importantly, Evelyn had shown amazing talent in medicine and toxicology! Technically, she was more accomplished i
Chapter 1783Catelyn had mixed feelings too. She had just walked 3 feet away from Cedrick when he suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.After a twist, Catelyn was forced to sit on Cedrick's lap.He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and rested his jaw on her shoulder, sniffing for a few moments.She smelled so good.Catelyn felt a murderous glare on her, and it was apparently from Evelyn.Without saying a word, Catelyn put her arms seductively around Cedrick's waist and said lazily in a very soft voice, "You finally woke up. I missed you so much."Evelyn gripped the hem of her coat, her eyes blazing with anger.Cedrick stared at the woman in his arms, her face reflected in his pupils. He stroked the top of her head. "You lost weight.""Of course, I missed you every day. How could I not lose weight?"Even though Catelyn wanted to upset Evelyn, she was too shy to do anything bolder.Evelyn was burning with rage.'Bitch! Slut! I should have poisoned her to
Chapter 1784After Slade and Everlyn were gone, Cedrick became weak. He collapsed against a cushion, and his face was pale. Catelyn had Dana make chicken soup and bring it over. Before Julien drank the soup, Catelyn carefully moistened Cedrick's dry lips with a cotton swab. 'Evelyn is indeed a princess! How did she take care of Cedrick? His lips are so dry!' 'When I was in a coma, did they give you any trouble?" Cedrick asked in a raspy voice. Catelyn dropped the swab and looked him in the eye. "Evelyn tried to, but cunning as Slade is. I guess he was afraid it would piss you off if he did anything to me, so I'm all right." Cedrick remembered that when he had fainted, she had made a stretcher to carry him. He took her hand and looked at her palm. He immediately frowned when he saw the blood blisters on her palm. "You just told me you're all right? What are these?" Catelyn hurriedly pulled her hand back. "They're healing now. It doesn't hurt anymore." "I actu
Chapter 1785Catelyn said angrily, “Cedrick, knock it off! Open your mouth!”Cedrick stopped teasing her and opened his mouth. “You look florid now. It’s much better.”As soon as he said so, she stuffed the chicken soup into his hands.Cedrick held the chicken soup with a smile. He had been in a coma for several days and hadn’t recovered yet. The chicken soup could help him recover. After he drank it, he built up his strength again and had a clearer mind.“Have you contacted Keven?”Catelyn sighed in low spirits, “Not yet. It’s quite possible that they have been in danger. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost contact with us for so long.”‘To help us find the village, Keven and the others have gotten into trouble. Hope they will be fine. If something happens to them, we will be guilty for the rest of our lives.’Cedrick frowned, dragged out his bag under the bed, and took out the last signal flare.“Here you are. You can ask the people who saved you to fire it at night.”The si
