Chapter 389

Author: Velvet Antler
"You…"

Winnie wanted to say something but was stopped by David. "Winnie, let Miss Clark finish her sentence."

Catelyn knew that without David's greenlight, she could never leave this place.

This looked like his private residence.

She tried to compose herself so that she could calm down.

"Did you plant those races there last night?"

David did not deny it, instead said, "If they hurt you, I will punish them for you."

"I am not aware that I am so important. You could punish your most loyal associates just for me. Aren't you afraid that you hurt their feelings?"

David slowly walked to the tea table and poured a glass of water for himself. He took a small sip and said, "Who would know that it was me?"

"Of course, you are Nine. I am impressed by how ruthless you are."

Catelyn could roughly guess what happened and did not want to beat around the bush anymore.

She looked straight into David's eyes and said, "You would not save me without any reason. Tell me, what do you want?"

    "I don't need you to marry me. I just want you to stay by my side."Then, Maia knelt before Cedrick, tugging at his pants, looking all pitiful."I had already cut ties with that man! I only have eyes for you. You could see me as Catelyn's replacement. I will not mind it! Really! I just wish to keep you company…"Cedrick's expression was cold as he ordered, "Stand up.""I don't want to stand up unless you promise me…"Albert's voice could be heard from the door."Master Cedrick? Are you up? Miss Coleman is here…"…Miles was kidnapped while on his way to school and was brought to the mansion.He took a few steps back as soon as he hopped off the car and looked defensively at David. "Based on the criminal laws, kidnapping children could land you a death sentence, plus having all your possessions confiscated. You better release me unscathed. I would consider letting this slide!"David did not expect Miles to be able to remain calm and composed in the face of adversity but was

    Catelyn swayed ever so slightly. Her features stiffened as she clenched her fists.A few seconds later, she responded coldly, "I have nothing to do with Cedrick anymore."David's smile lingered on his face as he grabbed the remote controller of the television to switch it on. Instantly, a news report appeared on the screen.It was the press conference Cedrick and Maia had held. The two stood next to one another, and under the spotlights, it almost seemed as though there was no other couple as compatible as they were.Countless reporters flooded the hall, and the sounds of camera flashing did not cease."Mister Mason, rumor has it that you've been engaged to Miss Maia Clark for four years now. You haven't shown any intention of getting married so far, so why are you deciding on it now?""Both the Mason and Clark families are powerful clans in Sapphire City. The union of the two families is a big deal, so why are you spending only three days on the wedding preparation?""Miss Clar

    "It's over?" Joanne leaped from the couch. "How's that possible?! I was so moved when I saw him taking care of you in the hospital that day! Why on earth did you two break up?""I lied to him, and he lied to me. It's just a scam coming to its end."Catelyn smiled bitterly and took a deep breath before deadpanning, "I've decided to leave Sapphire City tomorrow. According to the information the hacker provided me, I'll be going to Milarn tomorrow. Let's drink until we drop tonight."Noticing that she was forcing a smile, Joanne persisted, saying, "Just cry if you want to. I know you still like him."'Cry?' Catelyn mused to herself. 'I want to, but how's that going to help? Crying won't solve the problem. The only thing I care about is whether Maia would mistreat Ollie once she becomes his stepmother. What happens if Ollie regrets his choice and wants to come with me, but can't manage to reach me?'Little did Catelyn know, however, that while she talked to Joanne about her schedule,

    After the maid was done with the juice, she turned around and realized that 'Ollie' was missing. She looked around in confusion searchingly, thinking to herself, 'Huh? Where has Master Ollie gone?'"Violet, is my juice ready?" Maia called out impatiently."Coming, Miss Clark!" The maid, Violet, walked toward her smilingly. "Here's your juice."Maia lifted the glass leisurely.Ever since they had announced that the wedding would be held next week, Maia could barely contain herself from executing her right as the lady of the estate.Although she was respected in Mason Estate before, she was merely a fiance. With the wedding date announced, however, she was about to legally become Cedrick's wife, so she had hurried to Mason Estate before even going to a wedding dress shop.She caught the straw between her lips and took a deep sip.However…"Pfft!" She turned green and spat the juice out abruptly, causing Violet to gape at her."Miss Clark, what are you—""What did you put in thi

    Maia scanned her surroundings swiftly and sneered when she noticed nothing suspicious around them. She thus paced toward 'Ollie'. "You want to scare me off, huh? It's not going to be that easy! I'm going to beat some sense into you—"She came to a sudden halt when Miles took out a toy air gun from his pocket and began loading it with orange-colored bullets.Horror took over her features. "W…What are you doing, Ollie? L—Let's talk! We can live together peacefully, and I promise that I'll—""Bam!" Miles shot at Maia's heels.She barely dodged the bullet and bumped into the handrail as a result, which sent numbing pain up her arm."Wow, you look cool dodging the bullet!" Miles imitated the way cowboys on television would blow the smoke off the pipe and pouted. "Alas, you won't be so lucky after this."Bam! Bam! Bam!"He fired a few more shots. One for bullying Ollie, another for taking Cedrick away and hurting Catelyn in the process, and the last with wishes that she would remain w

    Miles could hear his heart shattering into pieces as rage burned within him. 'He wants me to kneel and apologize to that woman? In his dreams!'...Silence fell over the house once Miles was taken to the black room.Maia suppressed the resentment boiling within her and got up elegantly from the ground. "Cedrick, I...think Ollie probably didn't do that on purpose. He just can't accept the fact that we are getting married, so that's why...""If you dare tell Aunt Janice about this, I'll make you regret that you were ever born," he snarled threateningly at the mention of marriage.He had wanted to settle the incident peacefully with Maia when he woke up that morning, but Janice coincidentally came to visit at the time. When she saw the mess on the ground and watched Maia run out of Cedrick's room in tears, she instantly realized what had happened and demanded justice from Cedrick.Cedrick did not intend on explaining himself. Although he was downright wasted and drunk, his body's re

    Cedrick's eyes narrowed coldly. "Pick it up."Feeling humiliated, Maia retorted, "It's just a stupid ring!""I said, pick it up!" His tone grew hauntingly dark, and his features tightened in an intimidating manner.Feeling as though she was choked in a vice-like grip, Maia struggled to breathe. Her eyes reddened pathetically as she, admitting defeat, headed to pick up the ring. She held onto the ring so tightly that a mark in the shape of the ring formed on the palm of her hand.Cedrick took the ring from her hand and placed it back into the box.Unable to stomach how she was treated, Maia's face twisted with resentment. "Is this how you treat your soon-to-be wife?!""You can go and buy whatever you want. I'll send Alex with you to pay the bills."'How generous!' she scoffed inwardly. 'I'm from the Clark family, and I'm not asking for your money! All I want is your heart, and it can only be mine!'...Cedrick put the box back into the pocket in his suit jacket and strode into

    Catelyn visibly relaxed at the sound of the familiar sweet voice.Ollie pursed his lips with a mature look that did not suit a child his age. 'Mom doesn't want to leave Father either, right?'...Two days later, all online platforms and all screens across every street were broadcasting the news of the union between the Mason and Clark families.Catelyn had thought that she would feel hurt when she learned the news, but she was unexpectedly calm and numb. After all, she had already bought her flight ticket and planned to leave Sapphire City on Cedrick's wedding day.'From now on, we're just strangers, Cedrick Mason,' she thought.Joanne came to the airport to send them off."Mom, are we really leaving Ollie?" Ollie clung onto Catelyn's leg innocently, trying to imitate Miles as best as he could.Catelyn struggled to suppress the sorrow within him and said, "Miles, I know that you don't want to part with Ollie as well, but...he's already made his choice. I promise that we'll snea

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.
