By the time Catelyn arrived at the mansion located south of the city, it was a little over two in the afternoon. The last time she was here, there was only a general outline of the mansion, but at this moment, there had been a temporary lounge where the porch was. It looked slightly like a tin house with the roof in blue and the walls in white.

Eason noticed that she was sweating from rushing over and handed her a piece of wet tissue before pointing at the lounge. "Master Cedrick is waiting for you inside."

Catelyn took a few deep breaths to adjust herself before she headed in.

The temperature of the lounge was much lower in comparison to the outside as though it was a completely separate world.

Cedrick sat lazily on a simplistic chair, his tailor-made suit wrapped around his athletic body. His handsome features were as perfect as that of a statue, and with his lips pursed, he oozed an intimidating aura that repelled anyone who tried to get closer to him.

Catelyn knocked on the do

    Catelyn figured that Cedrick would not hold a grudge against her about that day she argued with him about the young master if she interacted with him politely.Cedrick's hand froze mid-air. His expression instantly darkened as he said coldly, "I'll arrange another designer to work with you, he'll inform you if any issue arises.""…" Catelyn was confused. How could this man's mood shift so suddenly? Wealthy people were indeed hard to read.However, she was overjoyed that she managed to obtain the project and decided not to bother with him.As she watched Cedrick leave, Catelyn realized that her legs were sore. Throughout their discussion, he had been sitting while she remained standing.She massaged her legs and took some rest in the lounge before leaving. On her way back to BrightGene, she received terrible news that caught her off-guard: Stella had lost consciousness and had been rushed to the hospital."Mister, please change the destination to First Hospital," Catelyn told the

    Catelyn felt all strength leaving her feet as she gaped at Stella's response. "One million?"Was that what she meant by 'not much'?"You can't just let me die!" Stella grabbed Catelyn's hand and wailed. She then continued, her next words laced with a vague threat and persistence, "You have to help me even if you don't want to, or the apartment we're living in will be gone!"A chilling premonition instantly overwhelmed Catelyn. "What else have you done behind my back?""I…" With how things had already escalated, Stella decided not to hide anything and, with a flushed face, confessed, "I stole your property certificate to use it as a mortgage. Why else do you think they'd lend me that much money?"The two-room apartment that Catelyn was living in at the time might not be spacious, but the location was very ideal, and after a few years of development in the area, the apartment's value had surpassed one million even if they were to deduct the remaining housing loan from the bank.Tea

    It felt as though the air had frozen over that evening.Back when she was the princess of the Clark Family, Catelyn had once invited all her classmates to a private room on the top floor, and she could still remember the time they partied deep into the night.Because of her experience, she managed to get her wits together and fooled the employees with an arrogant tone. She then strode toward VIP room number 6808 in her high heels.The door plate was coated in gold to emphasize how luxurious it was.Knock, knock!Catelyn summoned up her courage and knocked on the door. She held in her hand a yellow envelope that held a check worth 300000 that she gathered so far, hoping to resolve the pressing issue with the loan sharks.Following a squeaking sound, the door slowly opened.Realizing the door was not locked, Catelyn called out cautiously, "Mister Reed?"There was no response from the empty room, so she probably had arrived early. She tip-toed into the glorious entertainment room

    It was a strange yet familiar scent to Cedrick, and he had only ever caught a whiff of it on one person.He narrowed his eyes and scanned the room before locking onto a certain spot. He thought back to the unlocked door and smirked in realization.The conservation ceased, and Catelyn's heart throbbed with anxiety. She contemplated whether she should lift the tablecloth to check on the situation outside when suddenly, a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared right before her eyes as the man sat down on the chair near her.The strong presence of the man overwhelmed her. Startled, she immediately moved deeper inside to avoid Cedrick's long legs. However, two pairs of feet appeared behind her as Charles and Eason took their seats as well.Catelyn was left with no other way but to move toward another corner desperately, hoping that they would not discover her."Master Cedrick, if we manage to buy Millions Pharmaceutical out, it'll provide us with tremendous aid in entering the phar

    "Master Cedrick, your car… Some lunatic crushed the window of your car."More often than not, the first reaction when people saw a luxury car would be to stay away as they could not afford to damage it in any way, but it appeared that they had encountered an odd individual who simply resented rich people.Cedrick's lips curled into a mysterious sneer. He quickly glanced below the table before tossing the cards in his hands away and spoke, "You two will head down to see what's going on.""I can handle this on my own," Eason said.Charles was far more sensitive in comparison to Eason and had realized someone else was inside the room long ago. Seeing how Cedrick appeared to be in a good mood, he figured that perhaps it was someone Cedrick knew.He tugged at Eason's clothes with a playful expression and said, "I'll just tag along, anyway.""Hey, it's just one lunatic… Why are you dragging me? I—""Have a great evening, Mister Cedrick," bade Charles with a sly smile before dragging E

    The crimson red liquid slowly filled the wine glass. Cedrick gently twirled and tasted the wine as his eyes locked on Catelyn.The refreshing scent of gardenia in the air had become more distinct once she revealed herself.Catelyn knew that explaining herself would only further the misunderstanding and decided to not even try. She grabbed onto the envelope with the check inside and headed straight for the door. However, her legs had been numb and she did not last a few steps before losing balance.She stumbled and fell toward the ground while Cedrick happened to be standing by the wine cabinet next to the door.Her heart raced from fear and she could not help but reach out frantically in an attempt to grab onto someone.Thud!Her knees landed on the mat, sending sharp pain from her knees, and the numbness went away with it.The air froze around them as the tension rose.Catelyn did not dare look at Cedrick; how she desperately wished she could just die on the spot. "I…"Before

    Catelyn thought back to the awkward state she was in earlier, and her face flushed a bright red. "I didn't know that you were the one who booked this room…""So you're here to meet another man?" If Catelyn did not know it would be him, then who else was she expecting?Cedrick tightened his grip on her chin and noticed how his anger flared even worse than before.Due to the stronger force exerted, Catelyn's chin began to turn red. Frustrated, she explained, "I'm waiting for someone else, but not because of what you think. I'm here to pay my debt."Scared that Cedrick would not believe her, she frantically took out the check from inside the envelope. "See for yourself, this is the proof! I didn't even think that you'd show up here, and when I heard that you were discussing business, I panicked and hid under the table to avoid any further misunderstanding."Cedrick stared at her suspiciously. Was it possible that he misunderstood?Seeing that he had quieted down, Catelyn thought tha

    Catelyn practiced the gentlest smile she could muster in front of the mirror before she headed toward Room 6806."Hello, Mister Reed. I'm Catelyn Clark," she announced herself with a soft, innocent tone."Come in," the husky voice of a man responded.Catelyn's heart leaped at the fact that she finally got the right room and pushed the door open into the room.Unlike Room 6808, the decorations inside this room were slightly less exquisite, though it was still more classy than normal rooms.The moment she entered the room, she was overwhelmed by the heavy scent of cigarettes and liquor, but before her lips could curl into a smile, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the handsome man sitting on the leather couch obviously made in a foreign country.It was Jamie!The first thought that came to Catelyn's mind was that she had entered the wrong room…again."I'm sorry, I had the wrong room. My bad." She bowed and turned to leave.Jamie slowly set down the wine glass in his h

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.

    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

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.

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.
