"Isn't Jolene an Amarican as well? Uncle, please just fulfill my wish. If you decide to keep Catelyn, I'll leave! The decision is yours."This would put the collaboration with Mason Group at stake.Ivan pondered for a short while.Amy went around the working desk and propped one hand against Ivan's chest, drawing circles on his chest with a finger as she whined, "Uncle, please… Just say yes.""Fine, I'll do as you wish," came Ivan's eventual answer, relenting, much to Amy's joy.She would get Catelyn to pack her bags and scram today!However, before her lips could crack into a smile, she saw Ivan shrugging helplessly. "Since you can't work with Catelyn, I guess my only choice is to remove you from the project.""W—What?" Amy's jaw dropped unhinged. "Uncle Ivan, you must've made a mistake! Didn't you intend to fire Catelyn?""I said that this project has to include the Amaricans. Catelyn and Jolene were the only two in our department, and we can't give up the quota to other depa
Edwin then fled to Franche to hide and to watch Cedrick's drama up close. "Speaking of which, Ced, how does it feel to be fooled by your own sons? I would probably not experience this. After all, I can't even give birth to a pair of twins."Cedrick threw him a shady look again. Edwin was totally satisfied to see his reaction. "I totally did not expect Kitty to be the woman that you have been searching for the past four years. You always thought the woman from Four Seasons Hotel and Ollie's mother were two different people. What a shame…"Cedrick picked up the glass from the table and tossed it at Edwin. "Shut up!"Edwin dodged and whistled. "Why are you so pissed? Are you jealous to see Catelyn and George together? You asked for this…"Cedrick threw a cold glance at him and then called Eason. "Eason, send a message to Granny Atherton, tell her that Edwin is currently in Franche, so she can arrange for people to come over…""You really are going to tell her." Before Cedrick
Ivan had not gotten a response as he saw Catelyn fast asleep on the chair, just when he was about to continue chatting. He laughed lightly and saw Amy in a sexy bikini as soon as he turned around.A few male colleagues whistled at her as she passed by.He laughed. …Catelyn was uninterested in chatting with Ivan at first and fell asleep soon after. She could faintly hear some colleagues shouting that the match-making event was about to start. She opened her eyes lazily and was shocked to see what was before her eyes.Not only was Ivan next to her, but even Amy also pulled a chair to sit down next to her, her big eyes glaring at her. The match-making activity started, and the first activity was to let any random pair of men and women go onto the stage. The man would need to squat half while carrying the woman. Whichever pair could hold the pose for the longest time would be the winner. The prizes were lucrative. Amy winked at Ivan as soon as she heard the instructions, "
"Can you do me the honors and join me in this game?"Catelyn took one look at Ivan and thought since she had already registered, she had to decide between either Ivan or George…Catelyn held her hand out to George without hesitation. Both of them went to the games area, leaving Amy and Ivan behind. Amy looked at Catelyn with strong repulsion.Such a handsome Amarican man, but again, lured away by Catelyn."Uncle Ivan, let's participate in this…" Amy suppressed her jealousy and grinned at Ivan.Ivan was not reserved in public and his voice was loud. Amy could feel her cheeks burning when he said, "This little b*tch."When Amy knew that he was talking about Catelyn, her annoyance vanished.'Haha, Amarican woman, wait and see how Uncle Ivan will screw you!'…On the stage, George carried Catelyn as soon as the emcee instructed. He was half squatting, steadily. He carried Catelyn horizontally with her arms around his neck."We are just here for fun. If you cannot hold on an
Everyone looked to where she pointed after hearing her scream.A few bodyguards in black suits were escorting a tall, slender man, walking in their direction. As though a rose among the thorns, the man, who was 188cm tall, had short, crisp hair, almost perfect facial features, and was wearing a pair of sunglasses. Nobody could tell his actual emotions underneath those shades. His suit was so perfectly ironed that not a single wrinkle could be found.His strides were steady, and every woman gasped as he walked past. The air was frozen.Catelyn felt an invisible hand clutching her throat. It was Cedrick! Why was he in Franche!?Shouldn't he be working on Project Castle in the City at home?There were only a few meters between them, and Catelyn was already panicking. She felt like a prey being targeted by the beast and was frozen in George's arms. George could sense the unusual reaction from Catelyn and ask, "What happened?""I…" Catelyn tried hard to maintain her compos
Cedrick was forced to a halt.He looked down upon the woman who was kneeling before him and took the shades off with one hand like a tyrant. He used his pointy shoe tip to lift Catelyn's chin, full of mockery. "There are a lot of people who would butter me up, but you are the first one to kneel before me."The way that he lifted her chin with the tip of his shoes was full of disdain. Catelyn could feel her cheeks burning and turning red instantly. She was not shy, she was in rage!Everyone who was originally noisy at the scene fell silent too. Catelyn saw Amy from the corner of her eye. She was looking at her, satisfied. William was not pleased to see Catelyn being impolite toward Cedrick. "Catelyn, what are you doing? Even if you are desperate for exposure, you should not be doing this! Get up now!"Desperate for exposure?Catelyn ground her teeth hard hearing this. She wanted to avoid him but was forcefully pushed before him.She pushed away his shoe angrily and wan
Soon, the event was back in full swing, and the emcee announced the next game, which was a treasure hunt.There was a commemorative plaque of VSA Group hidden in the resort, which was rumored to be invaluable. Whoever could find it would be its legitimate owner…Other than the treasure hunt, people were talking about Cedrick's identity. Catelyn was not in the mood to gossip. She walked to the corner alone and waited until recess time to give Miles and Ollie a call to remind them that Cedrick had appeared. Even though she was wary, she understood one thing very clearly. He was already here, and there was nowhere for her to escape. Even if she could, would she want to live such a life with her two babies, forever on the run?They were still so young, she did not have the heart to take away their sweet childhood.After reminding her two babies, the sky got darker. Catelyn then only realized that she was very deep into the forest, Thankfully, the treasure hunt was ongoing, an
Cedrick watched as her beautiful little face reddened in rage. Her eyes were covered in a thick layer of tears, and her long lashes were trembling agitatedly, like a butterfly who had its wings wet. He felt his heart wrenched. He felt a lump in his throat as he gripped tighter onto her clothes. His eyes grew colder. "What do you mean by 'announced dead as soon as it was born'? Didn't you dump Ollie at my doorstep?"Catelyn looked at him angrily. Then, she suddenly burst into laughter. She had done something that she never thought she would do.She lifted her knee and jammed it right through Cedrick's lower belly. Cedrick was caught off guard. He gasped and hugged his belly in pain. Catelyn surprised herself too. She saw beads of sweat forming on his forehead and immediately turned away and ran."Catelyn Clark, are you looking for death!"Cedrick could barely say anything more. Any lower than where she hit, he would be neutered!Catelyn wiped away her tears and ran
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
