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 1810"I've been jealous for a long time, and you should stay safe.""Okay." Cedrick grabbed her tender hand and locked fingers with her.Catelyn lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly.Evelyn hated them more and more.Even if she helped treat his illness, no one could guarantee that she wouldn't do anything behind their backs....As Evelyn said, Slade and some wealthy people in the east area had been taking all kinds of precious medicine for years, and as a result, they were highly resistant to drugs.So, they were the first to wake up.Some guards from the west area were lightly poisoned, and they woke up at about the same time.When Slade learned that it was Evelyn who had drugged them, his first thought was that she was using poison to help them regain control.But then Cedrick told them that Evelyn didn't care about their lives or deaths. She only wanted to perish together with them.Everyone was stunned, unable to believe it.Even the fire
Chapter 1811"You wish! Once you appeared, people in the west area began to rebel. To put it simply, I became a prisoner all because of you. I can even give up the honorable identity of the village head's daughter. Do you seriously believe I will save Cedrick's life just because you promise to release me? What about the honor and status I lost?"Catelyn really could not comprehend what was on Evelyn's mind."So, are you just going to wait for death here? You hurt so many people in the west area back then. Now, they all wish to put you to a miserable death. You would be dead for sure without our protection.""Let them bring it on, then. I'm not afraid," snapped Evelyn.The hatred and stubbornness in her eyes caused Catelyn to have a pit in her stomach.Catelyn took a deep breath to calm herself down."You will treat him as long as I divorce Cedrick and let you marry him, right?"Evelyn's eyes finally lit up.She slowly shifted her gaze toward Catelyn and fixed it on her."Will
Chapter 1812"Are you crazy?"Catelyn could not bear it any longer and slammed her palm onto the glass door.The glass door shook violently but quickly returned to its steady-as-a-rock state.Evelyn was totally defiant. "Geniuses are just different. Average folks like you would never understand."Catelyn was left speechless.Her twin sons were also geniuses, yet they had never gone crazy. Instead, they were incredibly adorable."I won't kill myself. If the torment becomes too much for you to take, and you change your mind, have the guards inform me."With that, Catelyn turned and left with resignation.While Evelyn was still crazily taunting Cetalyn, Catelyn had stormed off in a fit of anger.Not long after Catelyn's departure, a hunched figure also quietly made his way into the dungeon.Seth secretly distracted the guards and found the cell where Jasper was imprisoned.At the sight of Jasper, who was battered and on the brink of death, Seth burst into tears.Seth thought
Chapter 1813After raging at Seth, she sobbed with a choked voice. With tears in her eyes, she pleaded, "Help, Jasper! I can't stay here any longer. They've let poisonous insects bite me. It hurts so much.""Don't be afraid, Miss Swan! I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore." Jasper believed that it was all his fault and blamed himself for not protecting Evelyn well.With that, he tried to snatch the key from Seth's hand.Seth dodged to the side, but he was too old to be a match for Jasper, who was young and strong.With a loud thud, Jasper pushed Seth to the ground with one palm and took the keys from his waist.Seth groaned in pain as the back of his head hit the stone steps. It even bled. But no matter how Seth cried out in pain, Jasper paid no attention and focused only on saving Evelyn.The cell door was opened, and Evelyn took a deep breath of fresh air outside.In the gloomy dungeon, a sinister smirk suddenly crept upon her face. 'Look! I won't die. God always fav
Chapter 1814Catelyn shot Cedrick a fiery glance.She snapped, "Hmph! I should have ignored you and let you die in terrible pain."Inwardly, she added, 'I can't believe that he is still thinking about sex now.""I was just afraid you wouldn't bear to see me suffer." Cedrick smirked. "When you heard I was injured, you cried and snotted all over me. Now, what's with this show of toughness? Come on! Let me give you a hug."Catelyn was dumbfounded and regretted her outburst earlier."Nice try! Don't hug me until your wound gets healed!"She coldly retorted and then turned to get him some water and medicine.She took a white bottle from Cedrick's bag and shook it.As a lot of pills were consumed, the bottle was going empty.Her face turned pale.'Only a few of the virus-suppressing pills provided by Yael remained. What should we do if Cedrick has another relapse? Should we rely on the doctors of the Swan family? But they don't seem to have more remarkable medical skills than Yael
Chapter 1815Slade arranged for a highly skilled medical expert from the Swan family to treat Cedrick. While not as capable as Evelyn, this expert could help alleviate Cedrick's pain to some extent. By offering this help, Slade hoped that no matter what Evelyn did, she would eventually be given a way out.Cedrick gave him a meaningful look. "If she stops stirring up trouble, I'll bring her back safe and sound."Without delay, Catelyn, Cedrick, and their team left the ancient village. Joanne took advantage of a break in filming and rushed over because she couldn't sit still and wait for news from Catelyn and Cedrick. They all gathered in a small city not far from the ancient village.When hearing the conditions set by Evelyn, Joanna was furious. "How can a woman be so shameless? Stealing a married man? It's also Master Cedrick's fault. He's just way too good-looking. If only he weren't such a heartthrob! He should just mess up his face and make her marry an ugly monster. Let
