The biker gang went as far as kidnapping an employee from Mason Group's building and dragged her to the city's outskirts, only to release her eventually.Not only that, but they even believed that she was telling the truth, or better yet, afraid of getting arrested for murder?Why would men like them be afraid of death if they dared to do all that in the first place?"Did you manage to see their faces? If you did, I'll ask the policemen to come take a statement from you once you've recovered mentally," said Winnie, trying to lighten the mood. "It'd be for the best if they could be arrested so you don't have to worry about them anymore in the future."Catelyn fell silent.Winnie saw how pale she looked and felt her forehead. "Why do you look so pale? Did you get a cold?"She then looked at Cedrick and said, "Cedrick, Miss Catelyn's hands are freezing. Please turn the temperature up."Cedrick looked at Catelyn, his gaze darkening with conflict and his lips pursed tightly.Catelyn
Catelyn's eyes never left Cedrick the entire time.His facial features were already well-defined, but his face looked even sharper with him being tense.Cedrick might look composed from the outside, but Catelyn could feel that he was not all that calm at the moment."Cedrick, I didn't betray you..." Catelyn spoke up after having mustered her courage."Mhm," Cedrick replied loosely.Catelyn quickly stretched out her slender fingers and held his hand, her eyes focused on his. "I know that I slip up sometimes, but I'm serious this time—please believe me!" cried Catelyn. "No matter what happened, I didn't reveal any of that information to the outside world!"Catelyn was so anxious that her explanations were a little incoherent.She used to not care about what Cedrick thought of her, but things have changed."Think about it: when Javier and I came out of the company, those motorcyclists were waiting for us since morning! Also, they were just trying to intimidate me into confessing,
Javier's parents were overseas all year round.At this hour, he was the only one living in a villa near the Mason Estate. He sat on the carpet on the bedroom floor with a gamepad in his hand, killing monsters on the LCD screen that hung on the wall.He kept yelling as he played as if venting out his anger within.This was when his phone started to ring, but with him so immersed in his game, he had no intention of picking up.Alas, the phone kept ringing, and even when it stopped, another round of ringing would start.In the end, Javier threw the gamepad in annoyance and went to get his phone.Just as he wanted to start swearing as he picked up the phone, he saw the number on his phone screen.It was Catelyn.Javier almost dropped his phone at the name, but he cleared his throat and stammered, "C…Catelyn? You're still up so late?"With an obvious guilty conscience and flattery in his voice, Catelyn was almost certain that Javier was up to something.She could feel the blood in
Catelyn could feel someone watching her in her sleep, perhaps even kissing her. However, all she saw when she woke up was Ollie.It was just a dream after all."Mommy’s foot was injured, and your father is afraid of hurting me," said Catelyn to Ollie.Hearing these words, Ollie scurried around with her, trying to lift her quilt. He did so cautiously, however, fearing that a slight wrong move would make Catelyn’s wounds worse.Catelyn quickly stopped the boy and pulled him to her. "It’s not that serious, don’t worry! It’s just… Ollie, have you considered what I’ve told you?"Suddenly, Ollie’s drooping eyelashes trembled as he tightly grasped the hem of Catelyn’s clothes. Solemnly, earnestly, he said, "I want everyone to stay here with me."Catelyn looked at Ollie. He had always been a sensible boy and never demanded more from her.This request, however, was something Catelyn could not fulfill.Moreover, she also did not want to be entangled in the Mason family's mess anymore."
The doctor thus said to Catelyn, "Mister Mason had called to see you, not only to inspect the wound on your foot but also to see if there are any other injuries on your body. If you don't mind, please take off your clothes, and I'll give you a thorough checkup."Listening to the doctor's words, Catelyn remembered that her back felt rather sore. "Do you want to take off your clothes?" asked Ollie. "I'll help you!"Catelyn was wearing a simple nightdress, which was light and flirtatious. Just as Ollie reached out his hands, about to undo Catelyn's belt, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door."Ollie Mason."Ollie's hands froze mid-air when he heard his father calling his name. He looked back and saw Cedrick walking in.The man pursed his lips tightly. Without saying a word, he leaned forward and hoisted Ollie into his arms, and walked out.Ollie was stunned for a moment. "Father, Aunt Catelyn is injured. I want to stay and help her.""Really? What's the use of calling a doc
In the end, Cedrick yanked Ollie's hands off and walked away without glancing back.Ollie's eyes instantly reddened as he began sobbing, biting his lower lip. Indescribable grief loomed over him.'Father, did you know that Aunt Catelyn and Miles have decided to leave forever?'…Catelyn was granted a half-day rest at the Mason Estate, which she used as paid leave from her job.When she returned to work later in the afternoon, the atmosphere seemed suspiciously ominous.The police were there early in the morning to obtain the company entrance's surveillance footage from last night.It was rumored that Javier had called the police, accusing someone of attacking him and Catelyn. Everyone knew that she was kidnapped by a group of racers last night.Catelyn had just reached the company's doorstep for a minute before she was bombarded with questions from other employees."I heard that those outlaws were secretly hired by business rivals! Since they released Catelyn, they probably go
As Catelyn watched Sheryl scurry away in horror, she silently took the cutting knife and put it away.Sheryl, running toward the door like a headless chicken, rammed into Winnie who had just walked in. Winnie nearly tripped by the sudden bump, but her assistant was fortunately there to prevent her from falling."Why are you running around in the office?" Winnie frowned.Sheryl gulped and pointed at Catelyn. "She… She's crazy! She took a knife and said that she wanted to cut my throat!"Winnie looked at Catelyn dubiously."Director, this is all a misunderstanding," said Catelyn, losing the coldness from just moments ago. "I was just wiping my cutting knife clean."Sheryl pointed at Catelyn angrily. "Bitch, you—""That's enough!" snapped Winnie. "Get back to work! I don't want to hear any more of this."Sheryl stopped yelling, but she did not return to her cubicle.It was not until Winnie gave her another cold look that she reluctantly walked up to her seat.Catelyn sneered. Sh
Samantha looked around anxiously before she nudged Catelyn to the corner beside a potted plant in the corridor.She whispered to Catelyn, "Whatever you do, don't offend Winnie. I have a senior who used to work here. He told me that she won't take this kind of thing lightly."Catelyn asked, "What do you mean?""There was once a female employee in the finance department who accidentally offended Winnie and slandered her to open a company of her own in private. She also used the Mason family name to buy back her materials at a high price so as to obtain big profits from it. As a result, Winnie spent less than three days and got rid of her through a bank run."This stunned Catelyn for a good few seconds before she asked, "Do you remember the name of that female employee?""Well...I don't know about that," replied Samantha. She seemed to be at a loss before something occurred to her. "But I remember that this incident was very sensational at the time. This senior of mine told me that t
