It was the day for the Chandier Jewelry contest's final round.

Catelyn had heard that the initial rule of the contest dictated that the higher management, including Lola, was to collect the drafts before submitting them to Granny Atherton to ensure fairness when the winner was chosen. However, she had a change of heart and amended the rules as she wanted to appear in the contest herself.

All the contestants were divided into three groups to go up to the stage to explain the concept behind their designs. Granny Atherton and the other judges were to mark the design on the spot until they eventually settled on a winner.

The fact that Lola was no longer involved in the process was good news to Catelyn as she would not have to worry about Lola trying to screw her chances.

Catelyn happened to be in the group that was scheduled in the morning. She had to head out earlier and had skipped breakfast, deciding that she would simply pick up food from stalls by the road.

    Cedrick's features tensed further as Catelyn spoke, and he pursed his lips.Seeing that he did not respond, Catelyn turned to look at him and sincerely added, "There's an old saying that says children and women are the hardest to please. You're not a woman nor a child, so can't you just forgive me? Maybe I can give you my lipstick and you can draw on my face as well.""..." The silence in the air remained.Catelyn hated the silence treatment more than anything and began to develop an urge to stop the car by grabbing the steering wheel.Screech!He stepped onto the brake abruptly, followed by the piercing noise of the tires, and Catelyn came close to jerking forward again.Wordlessly, Cedrick unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.Catelyn was not sure what he was doing at first until she glanced in the direction he was heading toward. The car was stopped before the door of a known restaurant, and Cedrick had gone inside to buy breakfast.It was likely that Cedrick had in

    Catelyn leaned back against her seat innocently and batted her eyes at Cedrick. "Taste good?"Cedrick's eyes gleamed as though he tried to refrain from certain urges. After a while, he gritted out, "I'll make you pay tonight!""..." Catelyn sensed that she had provoked something other than anger within him. All things aside, she realized that she had finally appeased his anger.She had to put out the fire that her son had lit. The life of a mother was hard....There was already a crowd in the meeting hall owned by Chandier Jewelry by the time Catelyn arrived.Every contestant was assigned a number, and Catelyn was assigned number 17.She waited patiently below the stage and occasionally chatted with the other contestants sitting next to her.Because the waiting time was longer than expected, Chandier Jewelry had prepared bottles of water for all the contestants.A young woman with long hair walked around, handing bottles of water to everyone. When it was Catelyn's turn, she t

    Inside the meeting hall capable of housing hundreds of people, the contestants for Chandier Jewelry's contest went up the stage to describe their designs while the judges sat on the front row. Among the judges sat an old woman in her seventies, and she sported a pair of large spectacles with black frames.She occasionally lowered her head to intently stare at the submitted drafts while she listened to the presentations, only to grow more and more disappointed.She did not particularly enjoy the hassle, but she had created Chandier Jewelry in the memory of her daughter.Summer used to study jewelry design, and her biggest dream was to become one of the most renowned jewelry designers. It was a shame that she eventually gave up her dream for the sake of a man.As Granny Atherton grew older, she began dreaming more often of the events in the past 20 years ago.Had she not been so stubborn, Summer might still be with her. She could not help but wonder where Summer had been in the past

    As for the draft that Catelyn had submitted, it was cast aside before Granny Atherton could even see it—not that she had the mood to view it, regardless.Lola sneered smugly. 'You dare stand against me, Catelyn? Try again in your next life!'Lola had put in a lot of effort and purposefully arranged the contestants with poorer designs ahead of Catelyn so their presentation time on stage would be minimized, making sure that Catelyn would not make it back in time....Catelyn was stuck in the bathroom.She had thought that she simply had food poisoning and would soon recover after taking some rest, but the reality had proved her wrong.She had stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour, and she had asked for the staff's help to purchase extremely strong antidiarrheal. Eventually, her diarrhea finally subsided.By the time she came out of the bathroom, she was as pale as a ghost. Her lips were numb, and she felt like she would lose consciousness at any moment.Keeping her hand on th

    In the corridor outside the Chandier Jewelry’s meeting hall, Catelyn sat on a bench with her back pressed against the wall. Her consciousness was drifting, while her entire body felt like it was swaying. Her head dropped slightly from time to time, only for her to be woken by the motion.The process repeated multiple times, and just when she thought she was reaching her limit, she heard the door to the meeting hall opening, followed by sounds of people talking. She stood abruptly, before falling back onto the bench helplessly.By the time she managed to stand upright again, Lola had led Granny Atherton outside.Catelyn ran after them.Lola spotted Catelyn from the corner of her eye and felt pleased by how miserable she visibly looked. 'This is what you get for crossing me!'She carefully supported Granny Atherton as she ordered the bodyguards, "There are too many people here. Stop any unidentified persons from coming to us; don't let them get in Old Madam's way.""Understood!" Th

    Catelyn noticed that the car Granny Atherton was in slowed down. Assuming that the driver had stopped, she moved to run toward the car.Much to her bewilderment, the engine roared again as the car seemingly drove toward her.There was a layer of tinted frame on the window of the Bently, so she could not see into the car, but she could sense an icy, viscous stare directed at her, almost like the way a hunter would stare at his dying prey.It had to be Lola.The driver had not expected Catelyn to stand her ground in the middle of the road, even when he sped up. His hands started shaking, and a thin layer of sweat gathered on his forehead as the car got closer to Catelyn.Catelyn froze in place, unable to move as her feet felt extremely heavy.'Lola had the gall to run over me with Old Madam Atherton by her side? Or is this Old Madam Atherton's command?' she thought as her heart sank into her stomach.Screech!The driver steered the steering wheel.Just as the car was about to ra

    "Edwin, I was the one who ordered the driver to run her over. It has nothing to do with Lola."Edwin sneered and said nothing.He forced the driver out of the car and placed Catelyn in the passenger's seat before driving to the hospital, much to Granny Atherton's chagrin at how much Edwin seemed to care for Catelyn."Are you taking her to the hospital?"Edwin kept both hands on the steering wheel and through the rear-view mirror, he saw the enraged expression on his grandmother. He turned his attention to Lola's innocent-looking face and narrowed his fox-like eyes coldly. "Catelyn Clark isn't as horrible as you pictured her to be."At this moment, Granny Atherton sat at the back and could not see Catelyn's face as she was seated in the passenger's seat. She had already had a bad impression on Catelyn before this, and the more Edwin defended her, the more irritated she became."I'm not too old to tell right from wrong. Catelyn Clark was accused of plagiarism. She ignored the rules

    Granny Atherton growled as she knocked her cane on the solid ground.Granny Atherton had always been the most respected person among the Athertons.She was no ordinary person, and Lola rarely got to see her in such anger, hence why she was ecstatic.Catelyn had managed to anger Granny Atherton to such length. She could never win!"I know Catelyn did go overboard, Grandma, but she—""I'm talking to you!" Granny Atherton turned and glared at Lola.The air froze in seconds. Lola stiffened, and she could barely breathe. It felt as though an invisible hand squeezed her heart as her mouth gaped open in disbelief."G…Grandma, you must be mistaken, right? Catelyn was the one you were angry at, and she—""Why didn't you tell me earlier that this woman was Catelyn?"Granny Atherton had someone that she trusted to look for Catelyn after leaving the Chandier Jewelry shop. However, the shop's surveillance cameras had only managed to capture Catelyn's side profile; no one could trace her.

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

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.

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

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

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.
