Chapter 343

Author: Velvet Antler
"Jennifer, I took Catelyn out for dinner the day before yesterday, and I can stand witness to prove that she didn't see any notice. I've been working with her for some time now, so I believe that she's not the social-climbing woman you painted her to be."

Catelyn and Jennifer looked over and saw George walking toward them.

After readjusting himself yesterday, he appeared slightly more energized than before, but the complicated look in his eyes remained when he looked at Catelyn.

Catelyn had not expected George to be in their office. Though they belonged to the same department, not everyone shared the same office.

George's office was two doors next to Catelyn's office, which meant that there was a distance in between.

He quickly made his way when he overheard someone saying that Jennifer was arguing with Catelyn, and true enough, he immediately heard Jennifer accusing Catelyn of scheming as soon as he arrived.

Jennifer had been secretly in love with George and beamed when she saw

    When Cedrick appeared, every employee in the office stopped what they were doing and held their breaths as they looked over gingerly.Cedrick remained outside and did not step into the office. "I don't think I've heard enough. Why don't you keep the drama going?"Everyone held their breaths as chills ran down their spines.Sensing that something was wrong, Jennifer hurried toward Cedrick in hopes to explain herself. "Master Cedrick, it's not what you think! There's some issue with my subordinate's work, and I just wanted to educate her about it. Mister Graham here might have seen it differently, and that's why we had a little argument. We're usually very close friends!"George froze, intimidated by Cedrick's sudden appearance. Meanwhile, Catelyn frantically pulled her hand away from George's."Master Cedrick, it's my fault for interrupting the others' work." After a brief silence, George bowed and apologized to Cedrick sincerely.However, Cedrick had not spared him a single glanc

    Winnie's tone was gentle, but Catelyn could not decide what she meant with her question. "I'm fine. The power just went off, and we got stuck because the electronic lock wouldn't open. I'm alright now.""That's good. Mister Mason seems to trust you, so work hard," remarked Winnie before walking off.Catelyn sighed a long breath of relief after Winnie was gone.Noticing how nervous she had been, George consoled her, "You're new here, but our director has always been like that. She might seem difficult to please, but she's actually very nice. Don't feel pressured, and just focus on your own tasks."Catelyn nodded with a smile. "I will."'Seemingly hard to please? Well, I'm just an employee here. I won't actually have to report directly to the Director, so whatever,' mused Catelyn to herself.Once everyone left, the office returned to silence. Perhaps the punishment Cedrick had given was far too severe, no one else dared to mention the event of the night before again.Catelyn, mean

    When Catelyn returned home that night, Joanne comforted her while munching on potato chips. "Don't overthink this; it's not like everyone would return your kindness. Besides, you're both in the same position of the same firm, so there's bound to be a sense of competition!"Catelyn watched as her mouth opened and closed. She reached out to grab the bag of chips before securing it within her arms and starting munching on the chips as well."I knew there would be competition, but we've just entered the company, right? I didn't think I'd come across as a threat to her at present."The two watched television in the living room for a while when Miles suddenly trotted over with Catelyn's phone in his hand to show her something. "Mommy, there is a three-million transaction to your bank.""Three million?" Catelyn studied her son in confusion.Where did that money come from? Granny Atherton had offered her one million as the price of winning the competition organized by Chandier Jewelry, bu

    In the end, Catelyn rejected George's invitation. [I wish you all the best in the future.]The screen on her phone did not light up again for a long time after that, and she had thought that George had finally gained clarity on the situation, but the phone buzzed again after a while.[I mean everything I said to you before. If you still haven't found anyone by the time I come back, consider me, will you?]She could almost picture the sincere and shy expression on George when he typed the message. She knew that he did not volunteer to go to Europae, at least not in the present.During lunchtime, everyone headed to Mason Group's canteen for employees. Catelyn did not have much of an appetite and thus placed down her spoon and fork after just a few bites.Concerned, Samantha asked, "Catelyn, why are you eating so little?""My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable lately, so I'm already full," she answered before tossing the utensils back into the basket that collected used cutleries.S

    Catelyn hesitated from entering the office, but Cedrick had spotted her and thus called out to her, "What are you doing out there?"Catelyn stepped inside with resignation and handed the documents to Cedrick for his signature. Cedrick tossed them aside and asked, "You haven't had your lunch?""Well..." Catelyn nodded, before shaking her head again. "I did, but I didn't eat much, so I finished rather quickly."I…want to ask if you were the one who gave the order to send George to Europae."Cedrick poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip. "Why haven't you eaten much?"Catelyn scowled. "I'm talking about George right now.""So am I."Cedrick set his cup down and stared at her intently. Her reflection filled his eyes as he stood, and the office instantly appeared less spacious with his towering figure. "You used to have George around, and with him now gone, you've lost your appetite for food and simply couldn't wait to come and plead for him?"He studied her expression withou

    Time flew by swiftly, and Catelyn never had the chance to talk to Cedrick after what happened in his office.The day George boarded the flight leaving Sapphire City, she received a call from Janice.Janice said that she was going to Ringo Park for a movie with Ollie and wanted to invite Catelyn along.It had been days since Catelyn had last seen Ollie, and though she informed Miles about the plans of their grand escape, she had not informed Ollie about it.She dabbed some light makeup onto her face before she headed out to meet Janice and Ollie.Perhaps it was because Janice was accidentally introduced into the entertainment business when she was younger that she enjoyed movies and would often go to theaters in Sapphire City whenever she had time.Ringo Park was a famous green building in Sapphire City. Surrounded by gardens, the area was decorated with flowers and plants that grew dense during summer. There were lanterns on the edges of the roof, which added a touch of festive c

    Cedrick, standing in a distance, pursed his lips as he shot Catelyn an icy glare.Worried that he would misunderstand the situation, Catelyn hastily stepped away from the man's arms and smiled sheepishly.Cedrick strode toward them while Catelyn met him halfway. She had no idea why he did not reply to her message the day before, but she was willing to let it pass since he sent her lilies.To her bewilderment, he abruptly pulled her into his arms when they were half a meter away from one another. The sheer strength in the motion placed Catelyn in an illusion that her lungs were pressed together, and she struggled to catch her breath.Catelyn gazed up at Cedrick in shock, not knowing what possessed him.The next instant, Cedrick glanced at the man standing across him casually and uttered jokingly, "Nine, I might just get angry if you keep staring at my woman like that."David tore his eyes off Catelyn expressionlessly. "I haven't had the chance to congratulate you on finding a new

    "You definitely deserve that," remarked Cedrick as he glared at Catelyn, "for secretly meeting him here."The frustrated Catelyn fumed, "It sounds to me like you're just jealous."Cedrick squinted at this and turned away from Catelyn. "I never liked it when others touch what's mine. If you think that's jealousy, you're wrong."Catelyn scoffed.The pair then headed toward theater room no.6, where Janice and Ollie were.Before they left, Catelyn peeped in the direction where David was slowly disappearing into.David was at the rooftop cafe at Riverdale Mall the other day as well, and he seemed to be in a pretty intense conflict with Cedrick. Could he be the mysterious man?Cedrick caught Catelyn's eyes and looked in the direction she was peeping at to find David's disappearing figure. He squinted his eyes coldly.Did Catelyn not know David at all?Her eyes seemed to have betrayed her.…The theater room no.6 in Ringo Park would not typically open for the public; it was the hal

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

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.

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.
