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
Louella's grip on her bag tightened instinctively."Hold her down!" ordered Maia to the two bodyguards as she then snatched the bag from Louella.Louella wanted to pull back her bag, but she stood no chance against the bodyguards. Moreover, her abdomen started aching amid her struggles.Her face slowly turned pale as she bent down and cackled in despair. "I loved you with all my heart, Jamie. How blind I was!"Not only did I hurt myself, but I also dragged the Athertons with me…!"Seeing as Maia could not find the phone, Jamie's face softened as he stared deeply into Louella's eyes."Louella, I know I mistreated you, but you have to believe that I've always loved you. I was drunk that night, which was why Joseph had to do what he did. I cut ties with him after that."Louella merely shot Jamie a blank stare.She would have believed him back in the day, but not anymore."Listen to me: Just hand it to me, and we'll get engaged next month—no, we'll get married. You'll be my wife,
As the breeze outside the window slapped against her face, Louella felt stricken with fear.She did not want to die just yet.She wanted to witness how Maia and Jamie would suffer from the consequences they deserved. She wanted to hand Cedrick the video herself!Jamie swung her by the ankle as he threatened her to hand over the video, all while she struggled to get back inside whilst being hung mid-air.However, the force of his swing was too great as Louella's ankle somehow slipped from his grasp."Aaahhh!"An ear-piercing shriek echoed through the air, followed by what horrifyingly sounded like a loud thud.Louella fatally plummeted to the ground as her head bled. Her eyes were still wide open when she stopped breathing.…Maia watched in terror as Louella fell from the window of the seventh floor they were on."Have you lost your mind?! How are we going to get the video now that you've killed her?" she growled.Jamie felt a freezing chill down his spine as he looked at hi
Catelyn heaved a deep sigh of relief.Ollie had changed his mind and decided to leave with them!Catelyn did not press for a reason. All she wanted was to leave the hotel immediately.Miles, on the other hand, should be alright. After all, he was a smart boy.They should make haste and escape before they could think of a way to get him later on. After all, they could not afford to wait for Cedrick to regain his senses and catch on to them.What Catelyn did not expect was to stumble upon David, waiting for her at the entrance.Catelyn wanted to ignore him as she grabbed Ollie's head and strode forward.David stood before her and asked, "Don't you want to know where Miles is?"Catelyn stopped and looked at him.David then made a gesture to his henchman, who then went across the street to a van and carried a boy out of it.The boy seemed to be sound asleep in his arms, but his face seemed to be faintly twitching.It was Miles!"Miles? Miles, wake up!" Catelyn began to panic, h
What a naive reason!Catelyn, meanwhile, had no idea what had transpired between Cedrick and David. Was there a dispute between them?Before she got into the car, Catelyn glanced at the hotel one last time.Cedrick had to be handling the aftermath inside, was he not?The thought of leaving this place with Miles made her heart hurt as though it was wrung tightly.However, since both Miles and Ollie had chosen Catelyn, she would never look back again, even if the path ahead would be difficult.'Cedrick…I wish you all the best.'…Cedrick came down from upstairs and saw the crowd gathering on the road outside of the main hall."What's going on?" he asked Eason."It's Louella—she fell from upstairs and died instantly. The ambulance is on its way," replied Eason."Louella?" Cedrick's deep, cold eyes narrowed slightly. "Was it accidental, or was there foul play?""The surveillance was cut off right before the incident occurred. It looks like a murder," declared Eason straightforw
A major core information of the power grid project in Ostralia was leaked on the internet, which led to an emergency suspension.Multiple online news outlets reported that hackers had breached the Mason Group's internal network while insider information regarding the company was sold, which caused the stock market to plunge.The elders in the Mason family expressed their dissatisfaction with the incident, and they awaited an explanation from Cedrick.Cedrick's expression instantly darkened.Those materials were the top-core secrets of Mason Group, and only a very few people had access to them.Who had stolen the information and exposed it right under his nose?Any regular hacker would have asked for ransom instead!…A month later in Parees—a fashionable, romantic city.Catelyn took the twins on the road, first making a stop at Milarn before they transited to Swetzerland, before they finally made their way to Parees.Despite enjoying their journey, Catelyn and the boys were a
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
