Catelyn practiced the gentlest smile she could muster in front of the mirror before she headed toward Room 6806."Hello, Mister Reed. I'm Catelyn Clark," she announced herself with a soft, innocent tone."Come in," the husky voice of a man responded.Catelyn's heart leaped at the fact that she finally got the right room and pushed the door open into the room.Unlike Room 6808, the decorations inside this room were slightly less exquisite, though it was still more classy than normal rooms.The moment she entered the room, she was overwhelmed by the heavy scent of cigarettes and liquor, but before her lips could curl into a smile, her eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the handsome man sitting on the leather couch obviously made in a foreign country.It was Jamie!The first thought that came to Catelyn's mind was that she had entered the wrong room…again."I'm sorry, I had the wrong room. My bad." She bowed and turned to leave.Jamie slowly set down the wine glass in his h
The tray was placed on the black coffee table. Jamie skimmed his fingers past the bottles and waved his hand in a challenging manner at Catelyn."I'll consider your offer if you can drink all these."There were over a dozen bottles on the tray, and Catelyn had never been one to handle alcohol well. Even though she had improved slightly from all the company gatherings she had to attend, she still would not be able to finish one-fourth of them.Catelyn scowled. "You know I can't drink. You're being unreasonable."Jamie simply gave a look as though everything was in his hands to control. "You can just leave if you don't like it, so long as you're okay with watching Stella getting chopped into pieces by John Reed's men."'Jerk,' she thought. 'How can I leave now when you put it that way?'Catelyn bit the inside of her cheek and summoned the courage to start pouring the content of the bottles down her throat, one bottle after another. As she mixed the different kinds of alcohol in her
It became apparent that the guests in Room 6806 were up to no good."Tsk, tsk! Looks like Master Jamie got his hands full with a difficult one now, huh?""As difficult as she might be, she had given birth to his child, hadn't she? Maybe it's their way of having fun!" Cue a cackle from the guard. "Still, that Catelyn sure is a pretty one.""Yeah…"The bodyguards at the door heard the noises as well and automatically chuckled.Ding!The elevator arrived and the door opened, but instead of walking in, Cedrick turned and started walking toward Room 6806.Eason had been following closely behind Cedrick and was stunned when he noticed Cedrick turning around.'Wasn't Master Cedrick going to leave?' he thought to himself.When Cedrick was about a meter away from the door to Room 6806, the two bodyguards held out their hands, their expressions hardening as they did. "Stop right there! Who are you? Our boss is inside. What are you trying to do?"Cedrick's expression darkened.Before h
Catelyn could not move with Jamie pinning her down, and tears began welling up in her eyes from the pain. Even after all the effort, she still could not break free.Under the hypnotizing beams of light above her, Catelyn's eyes reddened as cold air fanned her skin, making her shiver.'Help…' she internally pleaded. 'Somebody, help me!'Her knees were forced apart as Jamie's devilish face zoomed in before her eyes.'No… No!'Fear took her breath away, and her beautiful face flushed as she came close to passing out.Just then…Crash!A bottle of red wine slammed against Jamie's head, and blood trickled down Jamie's head along with the wine. Startled, the veins on his forehead popped as Jamie got up from Catelyn while covering his wounded head with his hand."How dare you… U—Uncle…?"Jamie immediately stopped.He completely froze when he turned to see the man standing before him so horrifyingly. His pupils contracted as he was taken by surprise that Cedrick was the one who hit
'The designer of a mansion? Catelyn didn't even graduate from college! How can she be a designer?' Jamie thought."What kind of joke is that?" He struggled to believe in Cedrick's words.Without sparing him a second glance, Cedrick coldly commanded, "Eason, call the police. Since someone in the Mason Family doesn't know what it means to be a decent human being, I should teach him a lesson on what is expected of him when he's a Mason."Eason verbally responded to this command as he then reached for his phone.Jamie spat viciously and crawled up from the ground. His wedding with Louella was around the corner, and he could not afford to be seen getting arrested over another woman.He gave Cedrick a bow of respect. "Alright, Uncle, I admit my deplorable behavior, and I am sorry for it."However, don't forget that your fiancee is the lady of the Clark Family, Maia Clark. Catelyn here is not worthy of your attention!"With that, he left frantically with his bodyguards, all of them suf
"Who are you calling Darling?" snapped Cedrick.Catelyn, having lost most of her grip on reality under the influence of alcohol, was baffled at this. 'Is this not my darling Miles?'She grinned in a manner that was both innocent and seductive, before leaning toward him and cupping his cheeks with her hands. "You, of course! Don't move; let me give you a kiss. It's been a whole day since I last saw you. I missed you so much. Mwah!"A kiss was planted on Cedrick's chin, and it was so unexpected that Cedrick glowered."Stop moving, or I'll throw you!"…Cedrick took Catelyn to a hotel across the road and took out his card, placing it over the counter. "One room."Hearing his voice, the receptionist looked up and instantly locked eyes on Cedrick's face longingly.'Goodness…what a handsome man! His mannerism is so elegant, too—even better than popular idols!'Cedrick had shown his face before to the public, and whenever he did, he ended up being the target of all sorts of fantasies
Catelyn could not quite move and pouted in impatience before trying to move away to rest. "You're not as cute as my baby."Cedrick grabbed her by the wrist and, like a swift leopard, grabbed her by the knees and pulled her back.He scanned her from head to toe under the bright light, and she gaped in surprise. Her face was as red as the color of blood itself, and when her doe-like eyes widened, her pink lips opened slightly as though silently inviting him to close their distance.The two were inches away from each other, and the familiar sensation that tingled Cedrick's palms reminded him of the chaotic night four years ago.Four years ago, Edwin had added an unknown substance into his drink, and as they clinked their glasses, Cedrick took it by accident. How could he not submit to the effect?After beating Edwin up, he went upstairs to the hotel to rest in hopes he could white-knuckle through the effect.It was then a woman barged into his room.Cedrick, at that point, was on t
"Miss Clark, are you awake?" the gentle voice of a female hotel staff came through the door.Catelyn's eyelids flung wide open as the sun's golden rays shone through the window. It was then she realized she was in a hotel room and, as she glanced down at herself, that she wore nothing but her underwear. Above her collarbone was a finger mark, which was clearly a man's doing.Catelyn leaped out of the bed as pieces of memories flooded her mind.Jamie had forced her into drinking and, after she got drunk, tried to rape her. Cedrick, thankfully, came right on time to save her before he took her here into this hotel.'What then?' she gasped internally. 'I can't remember!'Catelyn hit herself in the head and dazedly recalled a scene where she sat on top of Cedrick's chest and took off her shirt enthusiastically.'Oh my god! Did I do that?' She winced.Flushed a scarlet red, Catelyn called out to the maid, "I'm awake now. You may come in."The maid walked in with a bag and handed it
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
