Chapter 1802"Since I dare do so, I'm not afraid of him knowing," Cedrick sneered.Slade was someone who worshiped power.Since the people had rebelled, his position as the village head was at stake. Now he could only grasp at the last straw.Evelyn was the same.She went from being the pampered daughter of the village head's family to having nothing left.Once they lost their confidence and support, perhaps they would learn to behave.Someone suddenly knocked on the door in the middle of the night."Mr. and Mrs. Mason? Are you still sleeping? It's Slade. There is an urgent matter I need your help with." Catelyn and Cedrick exchanged smiles, knowing what the man came for.Catelyn walked over to open the door.A group of wealthy people stood outside, all looking disheveled and covered in sweat."Mr. Swan, there's chaos downstairs. What's happening?" Catelyn asked while knowing the answer.Slade stammered as he recounted the rebellion of the people from the western area. He
Chapter 1803After all, the virus in Cedrick’s body, which would be inherited from generation to generation, could only be cured by the villagers in the east area.The villagers in the west area were reckless men who only knew how to farm.They didn’t know medicine or poisons at all.It was horribly dark.Catelyn and Cedrick saw the man who led the rebellion of the west area. The man was a hot-blooded young man at his early twenties.The weapons of the west area were from Cedrick.Thus, the man was respectful to Cedrick.Although the man thanked Cedrick very much, their hatred for the east area wouldn’t be reduced.They made their requests.The wealth in the east area should be divided equally to the people in the west area.Slade should be ousted. The villagers of the west area would elect a new chief who was virtuous and capable. Besides, the villagers of the east area who had committed crimes should be punished.After the criminals received punishment and the wealth was
Chapter 1804 The west area was their home. However, the whole place was now on fire. The man, who had led the riot in the east area, looked at the fire and his face was lightened by the fire. He had to make the decision to send some of his people back to the west area to put out the fire. Before he left, he said to Catelyn and Cedrick, "Our houses are on fire. This fire came from nowhere. I would have to ask you to stay put here." He was suspecting the fire was started by Cedrick’s men. Then Catelyn suggested, "We'll go with you to put out the fire." The others from the west area roared, "Maybe you are the ones who started the fire! ou offered to negotiate with us on behalf of Slade. You made us let down our guard, but behind the scenes, you had our houses burned down! Don't pretend to be good people!" "What did we burn down your houses for? Slade was screwed. We were genuinely trying to help you and the east..." "Shut up! Keep them under watch. Don't let them go
Chapter 1805Facing the blackened beams, the villagers of the west area burst into tears.The old houses in which they had lived for generations were all burnt down!They were all standing in the heavy rain. The rain was washing the black dust on their bodies. However, it seemed the rain couldn’t wash away the stains on their faces.The kids were crying sadly and loudly.“Captain, we have no homes anymore! It must be the rich in the east area who did it! We can’t let them off!”The captain of the west area, Arron, clenched the gun in his hand tightly. His eyes turned extremely scarlet in anger.“Kill them! Kill all the bastards of the east area! Snatch their houses! Why should we be bullied by them? We have been bullied by them for more than one hundred years! Is it still not enough? We have agreed to forgive them and coexist peacefully! But those devils even ruined our last houses! Let’s go to kill them...”“Hold on!”It was getting light gradually. Catelyn and Cedrick arrive
Chapter 1806Jasper got a dark big umbrella, tilted it towards Evelyn, and kept the rain out for her.He looked at her with loyalty and affection.“Miss Swan, I told you that they wouldn’t blame Catelyn even if you burned all the houses in the west area.”Evelyn fiddled with her bracelet casually and said with a fiendish expression, “Catelyn must have bribed them. These bumpkins are poor and impolitic. If I were them, I would kill Catelyn and hold Cedrick hostage to threaten Cedrick’s men.”“We have no other choice but to go back and make an apology to your father. You’re the only one who can cure Cedrick. They will do nothing to you.”‘Make an apology?‘I have done nothing wrong!‘The poor in the west area deserve to die! Catelyn deserves to die!’Evelyn sneered and took out a white little porcelain bottle from her pocket.“Pour it into the waterworks.”There was a waterworks in the east area. The waterworks drew the mountain spring water, processed it simply, and delivered
Chapter 1807The more Evelyn looked at the villagers of the west area, the more annoyed she became.Suddenly, she sneered, “Kill them!”Jasper’s heart did a flip-flop. He stared at Evelyn in fright.It seemed that Jasper didn’t expect Evelyn to say so.Evelyn arched her eyebrows.“What? You don’t have the heart to kill them? Do you want them to be in charge of the village after they wake up? They’re just a group of bumpkins. Their lives are negligible.”Jasper closed his eyes.After all, he grew up in the village. He was reluctant to see the village become hell.When he opened his eyes, he had made up his mind.“I didn’t mean that. We still need them to farm the land in the west area. I can confiscate their weapons and hand the weapons to the chief. Without the weapons, they’re vulnerable.”“Let it go. The main thing is to find Catelyn. I don’t bother to waste time on them.”Evelyn violently kicked the rebellion’s leaders’ chests. Then she went upstairs quietly.When she p
Chapter 1808"Cedrick, you scumbag! I'll kill all of you..."She swung her axe at the nearest Keven.Keven, after all, was professionally trained in combat. He quickly snatched the axe from Evelyn's hands."Ms. Swan, misbehaving women will be punished."The axe fell to the ground, and Evelyn was held down by Keven, unable to move.Even so, she was struggling frantically and shouting with red eyes, "Huh, Cedrick, you went through all this trouble just to get me to cure you, didn't you? I'm telling you. Forget it! You're going to die unless you kill that bitch and marry me!"After a pause, she added, "And those people downstairs have all been poisoned. Without me, they'll all die!"Her sharp voice was creepy.Even Keven frowned in disgust, wanting to shove a rag into Evelyn's mouth."Uh!" Jasper whimpered as he saw Evelyn being pressed down. He looked over at Cedrick, pleading with him to let Evelyn go.But Cedrick didn't even look at him.Jasper, at the moment, was like a de
Chapter 1809"Send her to the dungeon. Show her how much the people of the west area hate her." "Uh!" Jasper's body was tied up by a rope, so he could only struggle hard on the ground. Then he stared at Cedrick with resentment, accusing him of frivolity and violence against Evelyn! "I almost forgot that you are loyal to Miss Swan. Keven, let him accompany her." "Yes, Sir," Keven quickly dragged Jasper and Evelyn to the private dungeon, which contained all kinds of torture devices and was used to punish disobedient servants by the Swan family. Now, it was taken over by the west area. After Keven left, the room finally turned quiet. Cedrick pinched his forehead. Obviously, he was irritated by Evelyn's “stubbornness.” He realized she was so troublesome. At this time, Catelyn breathed a sigh of relief and came out of the next bedroom. Cedrick insisted not to let her be the bait and would rather let Keven dress up as a woman to keep her safe. When Catelyn saw Cedrick
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
