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
[Where did the bankrupt lady go in the end? Answer: Continue to leech off and cling to her wealthy cousins!]Seeing the title of the post, Catelyn knew something was off. She quickly clicked on it and scrolled down the page. The post had just been posted for less than two hours, but the number of views on it had already exceeded 10,000. There were also even more comments on it, and the amount kept increasing when the page was refreshed.Everything about the posts revealed Catelyn's past, from when she was the daughter of the Clark family to when her father went bankrupt and got sent to jail.According to the post, Catelyn devoted herself to her fiance to save her dignity. The post also mentioned how she, upon being fed up with him, secretly gave birth to his child as leverage, but her fiance did not care about her illegitimate child at all.In the end, she got angry and hooked up with her ex fiance's uncle, who was the president of Mason Group, Cedrick Mason.Photos were added to
Despite showing Winnie a brave front, Catelyn was, in fact, seething.The post's influence would only grow until it was deleted. Eventually, it would affect her life…and Cedrick’s as well.Catelyn mustered her courage and, with Charles' help, went to the top floor to find Cedrick.It was summer, but the air conditioner on the top floor was downright cold."Miss Clark, I think I have to remind you that Master Cedrick's mood…isn't at its best right now," said Charles. Usually, he would be more cheerful when Catelyn was here to look for Cedrick. Today, however, was different.Ever since Cedrick saw Catelyn get into The Ninth Master's car, he seemed to have changed as a person.Catelyn took a deep breath. "Alright. I understand.""Alright, let's go in," said Charles as he made a fist-bump gesture toward Catelyn and pushed the door open.The moment Catelyn entered the room, she felt a strong cold breeze blowing toward her face.Cedrick was buried in a pile of documents, seemingly v
"So what?" sneered Cedrick.In just a span of a few days, he became his old self when Catelyn had first met him…perhaps an even colder version of that.Her heart tightened instantly at the change.Catelyn took a deep breath and earnestly persisted, "I want you to ask the administrator to delete this post."Such a simple sentence, but it took Catelyn all the bravery she could muster just to say it. Every word was overdrawing her dignity in front of him.However, Cedrick did not buy it and even smiled sarcastically. "Delete the post? The employee’s forum of Mason Group had never had a post deleted in its history, so why should you get special treatment?"Catelyn froze in embarrassment as inexplicable coldness took place in her heart and quickly spread throughout her body."It's not entirely for me. After all, many things were fabricated in this post. If you don't delete it, I’m afraid it'll affect your reputation, too.""Really? But I don't think there is any fabrication," said C
"This is between her and me," said Catelyn indifferently. "I won't blame you for that.""The director has to fire you now. Did you see Cedrick earlier? What did he say? Will he bail you out on this one? If that's the case, you won't have to be scared of the director!"Catelyn felt rather…uncomfortable to hear this."This isn't finished."With that, she dragged her suitcase and, along with her belongings, left the office.Catelyn took a shower as soon as she got back home. She kept her mind blank, not wanting to think of anything as she did. She then took a long nap in her bed, and only got up when it was nearing the end of school for Miles.She tried to smile to herself in the mirror, only to find herself looking awkward.She patted her cheeks harshly until a bit of color returned to her face. With that, she went out to fetch Miles.Miles was a sharp kid, and he could tell something was wrong when Catelyn came to pick him up. His chubby fingers grabbed onto Catelyn's palm tight
"Even if you've sent those things to the Board of Directors, I've already fired you, and you'll only end up in a worse state than I'll be in!"'Sent these things to the Board of Directors'? Catelyn had no idea what Winnie was talking about."Are you done? If you are, I am hanging up."Winnie gasped on the other end. However, just when Catelyn was about to hang up, she said something that immediately stopped Catelyn from doing so."Catelyn, do you really think I released bad information about you?"Catelyn paused. "What do you mean?""Yes, I wished to fire you, but I couldn't have worked on it that fast. I couldn't have gathered so much information about you in such a short time!"Winnie hung up right after.Catelyn immediately contacted her old schoolmate from her computer science faculty. Even though they were not exactly close with each other, they were happy to help investigate the exposer's IP address when Catelyn sent her request.Once she got information about the IP add
"Do you think this is Catelyn's revenge?""Where did Catelyn get so much information about her?""Are you silly? Catelyn may not have it, but Cedrick would have it! She could just sweet talk Cedrick and get it easily from him.""It was strange, though. It had not happened before or after the event. It was right before the launch of Project Castle in the City. I wonder who will be the next Director of the Design Department?"Everyone came up with all sorts of theories and discussions. Catelyn could feel herself sweating as she was reading them.It seemed that everyone thought that it was her that exposed Winnie!Just like that night, she did not say anything to the racer group, but other people thought otherwise…She had a very strange feeling that she and Winnie were both puppets, and someone was pulling the strings behind them.If what Winnie said was true, the post was not uploaded by her, and this mysterious package was not sent by her…Then there must be an unknown person
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
