Chapter 1887“OK. I will buy it for you.”“OK. I will book the tickets.”“OK. I will take you to watch the opera tomorrow.”Many times, Catelyn had the impulse to speak out for Braylon. Braylon was the honored former president, but now he was like Summer’s loyal servant who served Summer every day.“Mom, if you continue to order Dad like that, he may leave in a fit of temper.”Summer crossed her arms across her chest and raised her chin slightly. Her expression was arrogant.“I’ve been with your Dad since I was eighteen years old. I’m middle-aged now but willing to give birth to a baby for him. He should be happy. It will be better if he leaves in a fit of temper. I will find a strong toy boy to be my baby’s stepfather!”Catelyn covered her face. Her lips twitched slightly. ‘Mom is so brave.’ Then Catelyn saw Braylon coming over with a plate of sliced pineapple. She coughed to signal to Summer to shut up.However, Summer didn’t understand Catelyn’s meaning but added more excit
Chapter 1888Pineapple juice dripped down the corners of her mouth, staining her collar.Braylon's heart tightened when he saw her tear-streaked face, but his expression remained grim.She was like a petulant, immature girl who never took his words to heart.Now she even dared to incite her daughter to find a gigolo!If he didn't take care of this situation, things would escalate!He handed her a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth."Do you still dare to have an affair?""I... I don't dare," she sobbed in response."Do you still want to find a gigolo to be a stepfather for my child?""No, I don’t..." Summer felt embarrassed and tears streamed down her face."Will you sleep separately from me tonight?""I won't... You..." Before Summer could finish her sentence, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at him.Braylon nodded in satisfaction. "You've shown a good attitude by admitting your mistake. Now, stop talking with your mouth full of pineapple. Spit it out."He pl
Chapter 1889Smiling coldly, Cedrick said, "Tell Albert that I will find a way to take Evelyn out and let him make some adjustments in the alchemy room."Eason nodded, smelling a conspiracy.He had long been fed up with that crazy woman.Once they obtained the formula, Evelyn would be doomed.As it neared the time of Evelyn making the pills, Cedrick's mood improved. However, the overwhelming news coverage unnerved him.All of them were about how those dandies were pursuing Catelyn.The suitors at her door kept changing every day.Edwin even introduced several of them to her, as if he wanted to tell the whole world that Catelyn didn't lack suitors after they were divorced.Cedrick turned livid, reading such news.He made an internal call. "Charles."His assistant was busy with the internal affairs of the company. When he heard the phone ring, he rushed back to the CEO's office and heard the angry voice of his boss. "Go and acquire Sapphire Entertainment and Gossip Weekly now.
Chapter 1890Evelyn demanded that she must be dressed up as a noble woman. She wore a gorgeous gown that outlined her sexy body. Her neck was slim and slender. Standing under the light, she looked like an elegant swan. She would be the focus of the party. Cedrick was sitting on the couch, reading a business magazine. His legs were folded. He looked absent-minded. Evelyn walked out of the dressing room followed by a group of people. "Honey, how do I look tonight?" She asked Cedrick with nervousness and anticipation. She had been begging Cedrick to take her to the party after she learned about the charity party tonight. Cedrick had taken her to parties before, but he'd never formally introduced her as his wife. The guests at tonight's charity dinner were either rich or powerful. If Cedrick introduced Evelyn to those people, she would have no worries ever again. Cedrick didn't want to have a wedding, so Evelyn had no choice but to use this way to introduce herself
Chapter 1891"Oh, it turns out to be you, the wife dumped by my husband. Instead of hiding at home, you have the nerve to attend the charity banquet."As the woman in front of her made threatening gestures, Catelyn only felt funny. But she didn't stoop down to argue with Evelyn. Instead, she turned to leave.Evelyn sneered and extended her foot in front of Catelyn, waiting for the latter to make a fool of herself in front of everyone."Mommy!" Miles exclaimed from behind her.Evelyn's petty trick didn't escape her eyes. Remaining calm, Catelyn pretended to fall and took the chance to throw her wine at Evelyn.The crimson liquid dripped down, staining Evelyn's white dress and clinging to her skin.Evelyn brushed her wet hair, trembling and glaring at Catelyn. "How dare you pour wine on me!"In a fit of anger, she swung her arm to slap Catelyn, but before her hand could fall, Cedrick grabbed her wrist so heavily that her bones nearly crumbled."What are you doing?"The commotio
Chapter 1892Cedrick nibbled on her earlobe and breathed heavily. The year was almost over, so the company was busy, and his poison needed to be suppressed with Evelyn's acupuncture. All told, it had been over half a month since he'd last seen Catelyn.Hearing his steady heartbeat, Catelyn pushed him away and wrapped her arms around his waist, greedily sniffing his scent.'He seems to have lost some weight.''She seems to have lost some weight.'They thought at the same time, and in the dim light of the streetlamps, they said almost in unison, "You've lost weight."There was another silence.After a while, Cedrick's hoarse murmur came from above. "Who is the man that just talked to you?"He had been missing her so much, but it gave those guys a chance.Catelyn wanted to tease him. She reached out and drew circles on his chest. "There were many men talking to me. Which one are you asking about?"Cedrick lowered his head to kiss her hard as a punishment."You're pissing me off
Chapter 1893Not long ago, it was widely spread that Cedrick and Evelyn were a sweet couple. It was well-known that Evelyn was Cedrick’s new beloved wife. Thus, these rich ladies all came up to greet Evelyn.“Mrs. Mason, you’re so beautiful. Mr. Mason is handsome. Mr. Mason and you are a perfect match for each other.”“That’s it.”These rich ladies smiled at Evelyn obsequiously and flattered her.Evelyn became complacent. She raised her head and looked at others haughtily. She was as proud as a peacock.After she dealt with these rich ladies, she planned to continue to go to find Cedrick. A tall man with wire-rimmed glasses was walking towards her. His gaze was sharp.“Mrs. Mason, nice to meet you. My surname is Jensen. I have been interested in you for a long time. Shall we make friends?”Evelyn took the man’s name card from his hands. ‘It seems that he is a general manager. He should be rich.’She nodded haughtily, “I will take your name card.”The man whispered in her ea
Chapter 1894Catelyn and Cedrick received a teasing call from Edwin, who mentioned that Evelyn almost turned the banquet hall upside down because of Cedrick's disappearance.Catelyn and Cedrick quickly got dressed.Cedrick held her and kissed her lovingly. "Give me more time. It won't be long before Evelyn is brought down.""Okay. I've always believed in you." Catelyn hugged him back, trying to reassure him.From the Bluetooth earpiece came Edwin's jealous voice. "Come on, guys. I'm still on the phone. Cat, come out quickly. I'll send Ralph to handle Evelyn."Blushing with embarrassment, Catelyn quickly hung up the phone and pushed Cedrick away. "Stay here. I'll go out. Be careful, and don't let Evelyn see you."Cedrick nodded slightly and watched her leave.Once Catelyn left the lounge, she saw Edwin and Miles waiting for her with mischievous smiles on their faces.Catelyn walked over with feigned nonchalance and smoothed her messy hair. "It's a little hot in the room, and I
