'B*stard child?'Did Cedrick just say Miles was a b*stard?Catelyn looked at Cedrick incredulously as she felt lightning strike through her, fiery rage coursing throughout her body.At the same time, however, she felt relieved.Cedrick did not know the truth after all; he was just using her and Miles as his scapegoat."I'm fine with you using me, Cedrick Mason, but to use Miles, my son? Disgustingly deplorable!" spat Catelyn as her eyes reddened.Cedrick shot a cold glare at her and took out a checkbook from his pocket, writing on one piece with his black fountain pen."One hundred thousand. Is that enough?"Staring at the check, Catelyn felt unadulterated rage rushing through her veins as she snatched it and tore it into pieces, tossing them over his head."So what if you're loaded? You can't restore a child's reputation with money!"The pieces of paper rained on them, and a few pieces even landed on Cedrick's collar.His charming face sank and darkened in an instant."Mil
It was Miles, eyes reddening with tears as he shot Cedrick a fiery glare.Despite that, a vague smirk was seen on his face.It was a mix of love and hate.Catelyn's heart tightened. "M—Ollie?""Mommy…" Miles ran straight into Catelyn's arms, his face glued onto her neck, his eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry for not protecting you."Miles was furious when he witnessed how Cedrick, the demon that he was, bullied his mother.However, he was small and weak, and he could not possibly go up against Big Demon.Catelyn, not having the energy to mind how the boy addressed her in front of Cedrick, squatted and embraced her son."It's okay, I'm fine. I really am…""I did avenge you," muttered Miles ominously. "I turned on the microphone backstage earlier, and everyone in the hotel will be able to hear how Big Demon bullied you. They'll never believe his words ever again. He's a bad guy!"Catelyn did not process it at first and wanted to reassure him how everything was fine, but when s
Miles huffed in fury as he bitterly stared into Cedrick's eyes. At this point, gone was his respect and the faint attachment he had for Cedrick.All he had left for him was doubt and disdain."You've hurt Mommy. I'll never forgive you ever again!" spat Miles as he swung his tiny fist.Before it could even reach Cedrick, however, he felt his collar being grabbed as Cedrick lifted him.The boy never stood a chance against a fully grown man.Thus, he felt his body lifted off the ground as Cedrick pulled him up by the collar. His limbs flailed pathetically as he tried to break free.He was starting to get out of breath as he was lifted by his collar, and his face flushed in deep crimson.'Argh! Why are my arms so short?! I want to slap this evil Big Demon on his face for Mommy! I can't forgive him for hurting Mommy!'He even split Mommy's lips! What an evil, evil demon!'The more Miles struggled, the lesser the air in his lungs became.He was slowly losing his breath. Everything
Catelyn's eyes reddened as she cradled the back of his head with her hands, stopping it from moving around as she leaned in for a kiss.Cedrick did not move away from her at all.She attacked him like a clueless yet aggressive soldier.Seeing as he was not taking the bait, she grabbed his hand and brought it down her body.Cedrick felt like he was engulfed by flames of lust."You asked for this, Catelyn Clark!"Cedrick finally had her under his skin.…Miles ran out of the backstage room and would turn back every few seconds, checking if Cedrick was out to get him. It seemed that Catelyn managed to hold him back.Miles stomped.He made his mother take care of things for him yet again. He should have kicked that man more powerfully to take all of his anger out on him!His plan was to find Ollie and convince him to leave with him. He could not allow Ollie to bear the responsibilities on his own anymore.The boy looked at his surroundings, looking for a staff member to borrow
Jamie caught up to Miles and sneered, "Look at you, running with those tiny legs of yours!"Miles stared at both Maia and Jamie warily.Before he could even think of a plan to escape, Jamie smacked the back of his neck with force, causing him to see stars.He felt his eyelids getting heavier as he felt himself losing consciousness.Jamie lifted the boy into his arms and thanked Maia, saying, "Thanks for stopping my son for me, Miss Maia.""What did you say?" she blurted, pointing at Miles. "Your son?""Yes." Jamie nodded confidently. "What Cedrick said were all lies; it's been exposed. This kid right here is Miles Clark—mine, whom Catelyn bore."It was as if Maia had just discovered the secret of the century, and her head exploded with fireworks.She was certain that the woman in Cedrick's room from four years ago was Catelyn, and that she gave birth to Cedrick's children!This also meant that Catelyn was the one who left Ollie by the doorstep of Mason Estate four years ago, j
It turned out that Cedrick mistreated Maia because she was just Catelyn's replacement, and Catelyn did not bear Jamie's child!If she recorded everything and sent it to Cedrick, Jamie would be done for!Louella's usual gentle demeanor was replaced by a twisted smirk.Beep, beep, beep!Her phone's low battery notification abruptly went off at that moment, effectively alerting both Maia and Jamie as they looked in her direction."Who's there?"Louella tightened her grip on the phone and started running toward the opposite direction.When the pair ran over to check, all they saw was the shadow of a figure running away, and they exchanged knowing glances."Don't worry, I won't allow her to leak our secret," Jamie promised Maia.Maia's beautiful face twisted. Nothing felt like it was going her way!She then looked at Miles and thought…Would it not have been perfect if he was hers and Cedrick's child?She despised everything she used to wish for.…In a guest room on the third
Everything was getting out of hand.Both Cedrick and Catelyn were oblivious to what was happening downstairs.Catelyn had not fully recovered from the previous incident where she was dragged into the dark alley by some gangsters and knocked on her head. Thus, she felt extremely fatigued.She bit on her tongue and forced herself to stay conscious.She could not afford to pass out; not when Ollie and Miles were waiting for her.She propped herself up and attempted to pick up her jacket that was on the floor, but a muscular arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her back down to the bed."You're willing to go this far for Ollie, but why can't you cut ties with Nine?"Cedrick was aware that when she left Mason Estate, she was sent straight to David's private mansion. Outsiders could barely get into the mansion, yet she stayed there for one whole night!Cedrick actually hesitated in his wedding with Maia. He only agreed to Aunt Janice after receiving this news from Eason.Catelyn'
Catelyn did it all because she wanted to be closer to her son. She wanted to reunite with her children!How could she tell Cedrick this?Cedrick took Catelyn's silence as an agreement to his question. She was still lying to him!At that moment, an urge to break down Catelyn rushed within him, all so she could no longer escape.However, his phone rang, breaking his thoughts.Seizing this chance, Catelyn escaped from under his arm when he bent to pick his phone up.Cedrick watched as she left without running after her.He was on the verge of breaking, anyway.He unlocked his phone and noted that it was an unknown number calling him."Mister Cedrick, right? I'm Louella Atherton." It was Louella, hiding at a hidden corner as she called Cedrick, albeit anxiously.Cedrick frowned and sat up at the edge of the bed. "You have thirty seconds.""I have a video that contains information about Catelyn Clark, and I believe this is crucial information for both the Clarks and Masons. I'll
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
