Maia knew that Cedrick did not want to talk to her at all.However, she would not let them leave so easily.Maia's eyes rolled hastily, and she instantly cried miserably. She caught up to Catelyn in a few steps and grabbed her wrist. She said fiercely, "Wait a minute!"Her sharp nails dug into Catelyn's skin…"Let me go," Catelyn cried in pain and gritted her teeth.Maia's eyes slowly began to gather tears again. She put on a pitiful expression once more."Cat, don't you already have Jamie's son? Why are you still pestering Master Cedrick? You knew clearly that he would be your future cousin-in-law. I have loved him for four years. I gave him my youth. You can do whatever you want, just don't take him away…"Although she pretended to be miserable, she dug her nails deeper and deeper into Catelyn, like a poisonous snake sinking its fang."If he can be taken away, then he's never yours to begin with." Catelyn could feel her scalp tingle for a while at the resentful look in Maia's
"We will keep in touch because of some reasons at work. However, we are not considered close to each other.""You don't need to be humble. I've heard it all. For your sake, Ceddy even ignored the four-year relationship with Mai."Janice still had that indifferent and calm expression. There was no contempt in her tone.Catelyn was well aware of the warning in her words. She stared at Janice with intense sincerity, and a sense of stubbornness filled her eyes.She was not the kind of person Janice thought her to be!"I feel deeply sorry that the engagement between Master Cedrick and Ms. Clark was terminated, but I'm only an employee to Master Cedrick.""Alright, stop with those high-sounding words trying to fool people. Although I'm not wise, I'm a generation older than you. I've seen many young girls trying to rely on men to gain glory and fame with ease. I've never stopped these girls who want to get close to Ceddy. After all, it's always the girls who suffer from such things."J
Cedrick was then entrusted to Janice.Janice had been weak and sick since she was born. She could not have children of her own due to her medical condition, so she took care of Cedrick as if he was her own son.The two had a strong familial relationship for many years. Although they were not actually mother and son, they already saw each other like one."Aunt Janice, you should know my temper. I never said things for fun. Especially when I said I don't want to get married anymore," he explained in a soft voice.Janice was still unwilling to accept the fact, even though she knew very well that Cedrick would not change his mind on this."But Mai has been with you for four years...""I'll make it up to her. You're not in good health. The doctor said you'd better not go out so soon. I'll send you back to Nandose Villa." After saying that, Cedrick looked at the waiter and said, "Arrange a car for me."The waiter did not dare to hesitate and hurried to carry out the orders.Janice ha
Catelyn looked around in a panic.She glanced around and saw his shoes.Those doubts that he was making fun of her were gone in an instant. After a long time, Catelyn foolishly squeezed out the words, "Are you really not kidding?""I'm serious."Cedrick admitted that he was a little impulsive in the room just now, but when he thought of being with her, it seemed that it was not as unacceptable as he thought it would be.The feeling she gave him… She looked exactly like the woman four years ago.Thinking of this, a flash of gloom appeared in Cedrick's deep eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.Catelyn summoned up the courage to slowly raise her head and look into his eyes. Her heart beat fast. She carefully asked, "Then, does this mean that you want to be with me?"Cedrick said calmly, "Yes."Catelyn scratched her thigh.It hurt. This did not seem like a dream.All of a sudden, what had happened these days flashed through her mind.In the room in the Barricade Club, Cedric
Cedrick stared at her with a cold gaze."Why?"Catelyn was determined to cut clean from him. She could not afford to offend him because of his status."I just want an ordinary life and a relationship. Someone who can hold my hand and walk on the road with me, or watch a movie or go to a rundown diner with me.""The most important thing is that we have the same morals and opinions. I want someone that I can share the same thoughts with. You are superior, and every move of yours has attracted the attention of everyone. There is no way to cross this gap. What you said will only become a burden for me and my baby..."As soon as she finished speaking, the back of her hand, which was drooping beside her, was suddenly held by a warm hand.The skin on the back of her hand gradually warmed her up, which made her heart beat slower…Catelyn dared not look at Cedrick beside her. However, somehow, she looked up in panic…Cedrick narrowed his eyes dangerously. He was handsome, and there was
The man next to Maia was also very handsome. He looked a little familiar, and Catelyn seemed to have seen him somewhere.The two hugged each other intimately, and the man quickly kissed Maia on the cheek.Maia smacked the man on the chest light with a playful look. The man grabbed her hand and kissed her on the lips. They were flirting like a couple.Catelyn was flabbergasted.Was Maia having an affair?Did Cedrick break off the engagement with Maia because he had already discovered that Maia was cheating on him?She took out her phone and took a picture of the two hugging each other. When she was about to send it to Cedrick, she stopped as soon as she clicked on her messaging app.She was just rejecting Cedrick's advances a moment ago, and now she was sending him pictures like this as if she was going to give him some hints…Catelyn saved the photo and rolled up the window."Please drive, sir. Ocean Path Residence, thank you."...At the gate of the hotel, Maia was almost o
"Here, this is the information my subordinates found for you."After a pause, Edwin pointed at one of the thumb drives and explained, "By the way, this is the surveillance video that Charles sent. He said that it contained the videos of your office being damaged that day."Cedrick nodded slightly, picked up the thumb drive, and connected it to the computer.There was indeed a video in it.During the banquet, Cedrick suspected that Maia had gone through his confidential documents, but when he went to check the surveillance video afterward, he found out that the surveillance video was destroyed.Fortunately, the IT department of the Mason Group was completely useless.Cedrick clicked on the video. Sure enough, when Charles was making tea for him, Maia opened the documents on his desk in secret and stole a few of them!A haze of anger slowly crept up his eyes.How dare Maia steal from him.However, all this information only contained the surveillance video and information of that
She took the elevator to the top floor of the office building, where Benjamin's office was located.The receptionist was facing the door. Behind her, the logo of the Andersons Law Firm was particularly striking. It was made of white tiles, and the table was placed with a round porcelain vase. The interior design was simple and magnificent."Hello, I'm Catelyn. I have an appointment with Mr. Anderson at three o'clock this afternoon." Catelyn walked to the front desk and reminded her gently.The receptionist made a simple inquiry on the computer and looked at the information on Catelyn's ID card. "Okay, Mr. Anderson is meeting a client right now. Please wait for a moment in the waiting area."Those who could hire Mr. Anderson were either rich or powerful.Even if it was just for consulting, the price for the session was nothing cheap.The receptionist did not dare to neglect any clients that came here. Catelyn sat in the waiting area and waited. It was almost three o'clock in ano
