Chapter 1923"Well, it's a smaller version of you!" Catelyn replied affirmatively.Cedrick wrapped his arms around Catelyn and kissed her hard on the forehead, his voice filled with joy. "I love it, but I want a smaller version of you even more..."Then he could take it out and look at it when he missed her."You can think of me at the sight of it as well."Catelyn smiled sweetly, looking up at Cedrick with her big eyes, forgetting even the pain in her hand.She wasn't very good at needlework, so she had suffered a lot for this puppet.However, looking at Cedrick so surprised and fond of it, she felt it was worth it.The two lingered in the car for a while longer before Catelyn snuck back to her room.Luckily, no one in the Atherton family noticed her sneaking out.Catelyn sent Cedrick a "safe arrival" message and watched from the window as Cedrick's car left the Atherton Manor.Joanne came upstairs and brought Catelyn a glass of warm milk just as Cedrick was leaving."Your
Chapter 1924After returning from the hospital, Evelyn was furious.Whether Cedrick had gone to see Catelyn that night or not, she couldn't let Catelyn go.Catelyn was a big threat to Evelyn.Evelyn dialed a phone number with an ugly expression. "Keep an eye on Catelyn and let me know her every movement."After hanging up the phone, Evelyn recuperated at home and watched the TV show. She kept laughing, no longer asking Cedrick about that night.After a few days, Evelyn received a message and sneered as she headed out the door.When she got to the entrance of the mall, a figure approached. "Mrs. Mason, Catelyn is looking at clothes on the third floor right now."Evelyn's lips curved into a cold smile. "I see. Keep your distance from me in a while. Don't get caught."The person nodded, always keeping around a hundred meters from Evelyn.Finally, Evelyn was going to meet Catelyn, feeling excited.When she reached the third floor, Evelyn saw Catelyn's figure.Evelyn sneered and
Chapter 1925With that, Evelyn shoved Catelyn, made a fake move, and fell on Catelyn in front of the crowd.Catelyn's hand fell on the ground and was immediately grazed. It became red and swollen.Coupled with Evelyn's weight, Catelyn felt great pain as if her body had fallen apart."Catelyn, why did you push me so cruelly? My belly... My belly hurts..."Evelyn covered her stomach and cried, pulling out her cell phone to call Cedrick, "Cedrick, I ran into Catelyn at the mall. She argued with me and pushed me. My belly hurts so much right now..."'Cedrick values the baby in my belly.'He won't have let Catelyn off after knowing she hurt the baby!'Pregnant women were vulnerable. From the crowd's point of view, it was true that Catelyn hurt Evelyn.Besides, Evelyn was crying so loudly. For a moment, voices of reproach filled the entire mall."This ex-Mrs. Mason is so ruthless. How could she bear to push a pregnant woman?""Yeah, I heard that she had a child. How could she do s
Chapter 1926When they got to the hospital, the doctor checked Evelyn and found nothing wrong with her.On the contrary, the injury on Catelyn's wrist was more serious.Evelyn looked at Catelyn viciously and said through clenched teeth, "Cedrick, our child was lucky to avoid being hurt, but Catelyn pushed me. We have to get back at her!"Catelyn held her red and swollen wrist and looked at Evelyn coldly. "Evelyn, it's clear that you intentionally fell on me and tried to frame me with your baby."Evelyn, who just wanted to set Catelyn up, didn't want anything to happen to the child at all, so she thought of this way to kill two birds with one stone. "Bullshit!" Evelyn snapped. "It was obviously you who pushed me!"The doctor kindly reminded, "Mrs. Mason, Ms. Clark's injury is much more serious than yours. Why don't you just let this matter go?"Evelyn scowled as she asked in a cold voice, "Do you think you have a say here?"The doctor's face stiffened. She gave Catelyn a sympa
Chapter 1927"I know."Catelyn nodded, her large clear eyes filled with coldness. "Now that I think about it, the whole thing is a trap to destroy my reputation."That day at the mall, she had a vague feeling that someone seemed to be following her.How could Evelyn have "happened to" run into her? It was definitely because someone had leaked her whereabouts.Besides, someone in the crowd revealed their identities when they were arguing. Thus, Catelyn was certain that this matter was orchestrated by someone.She was afraid that the main event was yet to come.After Catelyn and Joanne finished their analysis, the Atherton family's doorman hurried in. "Mrs. Atherton, there are some officers outside the door, saying that Mrs. Mason has been charged... The reporters got the news from somewhere. They are now gathered outside the door."The two got up and looked outside. They saw two police cars and a large number of reporters.Joanne was furious. "I'll see who dares to arrest someo
Chapter 1928A police officer showed a surveillance video, but coincidentally, the angle of that video was so subtle that they couldn't see how Evelyn intentionally fell on Catelyn. They could only see Catelyn shake Evelyn away.Therefore, it really looked like Catelyn plotted to kill Evelyn.The police officer slammed the table and said, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the backing of the Atherton family! In our police station, even if you are powerful, we will handle the case according to the law!"Tell us the truth. When exactly did you start scheming against Mrs. Mason?"Another policeman looked at Catelyn with stern eyes and said, "Leniency is for those who confess, and severity for those who resist. Do you know it is a big crime to intentionally injure someone? If something happens to Mrs. Mason, two lives will be in danger!"Catelyn was not the least bit afraid of these threatening tactics. Instead, she smiled faintly."What makes you so sur
Chapter 1929Edwin curved his thin lips slightly and directly called his assistant. "Find out which media were bold enough to smear Cat today and acquire all of them."After hanging up the phone, Edwin opened the window for fresh air. It was obvious that Evelyn was stirring up trouble, although Evelyn's botched tricks could not cause actual harm to Catelyn.But it was really disgusting to be pestered by these annoying villains all the time.The atmosphere in the car was exceptionally oppressive. Cedrick tapped the steering wheel with his slender fingers and said meaningfully, "Some people stand too high and forget who they are."Edwin snorted mischievously, "They don't know that the higher one stands, the more miserable he will be when he falls."When they arrived at the police station, they went straight to the police chief.The police chief still didn't know what had happened. He smiled as he came out to receive them, his gaze tentative. "Mr. Mason, Mr. Atherton, what brings y
Chapter 1930"Do I look like I'm being bullied right now?" Catelyn stared at Cedrick with a smile on her face, gathering the loose jacket. She could still smell his male scent.Her figure was reflected in Cedrick's deep eyes as he said disapprovingly, "Why do you aggrieve yourself? Since you are being given a hard time by two nobodies, just call me or let Edwin handle it.""Who the hell are you? I told you to get out. Can't you hear me?"Those two cops frowned at Cedrick and Catelyn, who were flirting in front of them and sarcastically calling themselves nobodies, their tone instantly becoming even nastier.Kevin Horton, the police chief, came in and hurriedly stopped them. "What are you doing? This is Mr. Mason! Do you want to cause more trouble? How could you arrest someone without investigating the matter thoroughly?"The two men looked at each other and put down their truncheons, but they were still upset and yelled, "Even though he is Mr. Mason, so what? Evelyn, the victim,
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
