Catelyn blushed at the question and mumbled, "Nothing." She then ran off to the bathroom.

She had been swift, but Alex was a trained bodyguard with sharp eyes, and he spotted her swollen lips right away. Confused, he wondered if she and Cedrick had settled their disagreement. If so, he and Charles would finally be able to relax.

In the bathroom, Catelyn touched her burning lips and noticed that they were swollen, just as she had expected.

'Cedrick Mason, that beast!' she grumbled. 'It wasn't even a kiss anymore. He was straight up chewing on them.'

What frustrated her more was that the skin on her lips was torn to the point that ointment would not help the swelling, let alone the fact that she did not have any ointment. Still, she could not just walk out looking this way either.

Just as she started panicking, she recalled that there were free face masks at the hospital lobby hall and went to get one—despite the embarrassment—before heading to the counter to make payment.

    Since Cedrick's injury concerned only his arm, he did not bother putting his jacket on. With a thick layer of bandage wrapped around his arm, his tanned skin glittered under the light. His brooding features were filled with rage as he pursed his lips."Don't move around! The wound is going to tear, and the doctor will have to come to fix you up again." Catelyn's hands were still wet from washing her hands, and because he was half-naked, she did not approach him and simply reminded him from afar.Cedrick's head snapped up when he heard her voice. He extended his left arm in an inviting manner and said, "Come here."Catelyn pursed her lips as she tried to act composed. "Your wound is hurting again, right? I told you not to move around...""Are you coming here, or do I need to go over there to grab you?" spoke Cedrick expressionlessly.Catelyn did want to find a nurse, but he refused to set his arm down. Seeing how pale he seemed, she caved in the end and walked toward him. "I'll jus

    Cedrick paused and narrowed his eyes. "So it was planned?""Yes. I've looked into Miss Clark's personal life. Amy Jacqueline was in the mall at the time, and Ivan was in the office. Neither had the time to do it, and there were no suspicious transactions from their accounts either. Those two couldn't have been the culprit.""What about the surveillance cameras?""The board was too big and could easily hide a few people underneath it, so I'm afraid that surveillance footage wouldn't be of much help," Alex said gingerly.Completely losing his appetite, Cedrick gazed up at the reflection on the glass window. He had thought that it was merely an accident and was thus surprised that someone was behind it. Had he been one step slower or were not swift enough to shove Catelyn aside, perhaps both Catelyn and him would be in the funeral home at this moment."Anything from Nine?"Alex was stunned. "You suspect that the Ninth Master is behind this, Master Cedrick?""Isn't this what he alwa

    Richard grazed Maia's earlobe with his lips as he spoke, "Mai, have you forgotten that Franche is the territory of the Kingsley family? Even if you wanted to hire assassins, you should've done so through me.""The Kingsley family?" Under the influence of alcohol, she stopped before pushing him away.'That's right. How did I forget about this?' she thought to herself. 'The Kingsley family has been slowly moving their assets overseas across the years. Even the four most powerful families and other families in Sapphire City can't compare to the Kingsleys when it comes to connection and influence in Franche.'She set her glass down and turned to throw herself into his arms, drawing circles on his chest. "Are you saying this so that I'll try to please you?""I just want you to be happy." Richard breathed heavily as he palmed her waist. "Cedrick is with Catelyn now. Won't you stop thinking about them? I'll love you forever."Maia's eyes glittered with malicious intent, but she simply le

    Maia tugged Richard by the hand, her gaze keen as she did.Richard had a bad feeling about Maia's impending result and was proven right when Maia spoke her next words."I'll keep the child, but you have to help me by pretending that the child is Cedrick's! The timing is just right, too."Dumbfounded, Richard blustered, "You're still thinking about Cedrick?!""Listen, you're not the legitimate young master of the Kingsley family. Cedrick, on the other hand, is a legitimate young master of his family. As long as our child is acknowledged as the son of the eldest young master of the Masons, we'll be able to inherit their assets. On top of that, when the Clarks, Kingsleys, and Masons unite their power, imagine where we'll be!"Richard fell into deep contemplation.Even though he was reluctant that his child would be calling someone else their father, he was tempted by the possibilities."What do you want me to do?""Pack your things and get the next flight to Franche. You'll be get

    "I'm disappointed in you, Ivan. I thought I knew who you were as a person!""No! This is a misunderstanding!" Ivan, so consumed by fear, decided to come clean. "This isn't even my design; I stole it from Catelyn Clark! I have no idea about any of that…"Ivan naively thought that if he came clean, Madam Smith would forgive him and started investigating Catelyn.What he did not expect was for Madam Smith to become even angrier."As a designer, you should know that every design is like a child to its designer. How dare you steal someone else's child?"William, on the other hand, was mystified upon hearing this, and the veins on his forehead became visible as he hissed, "Ivan, how could you?!"Was the previous model stolen from Catelyn as well? That explained why Catelyn would leak the video of Ivan and Amy!The more Ivan thought to himself, the more he realized that he had been played."I—I didn't steal it! What I meant was…"Ivan realized that he had messed up amid his panic, an

    Amy's behavior flabbergasted Ivan. He thought that Amy despised Catelyn more than anything!He refused to give it up, however. "Did Catelyn threaten you? Just tell the truth. Mister William and I are here, and we'll help you!""No one's threatening me, Uncle Ivan. Just give it up. I've warned you before the first time you stole Catelyn's model, but not only did you not change, but you became worse! I can't believe you'd stood as low as stealing Mister Smith's posthumous work."I'm so disappointed in you!"Amy's eyes reddened as tears brimmed in her eyes.Ivan was consumed by rage and raised his leg to kick Amy. "You b*tch! How dare you slander me this way?!""Ngh!" Amy crouched down and moaned in pain.Madam Smith's face turned green at that point as she growled, "Enough, Ivan! I take back everything good I've ever said about you in the past. From now on, whoever in Franche hires you as an architect will be my enemy! Mister William, I'm requesting to have a new Project Director

    Cedrick took a sip of the coffee served to him, much to Catelyn's chagrin.Caffeine was proven to be terrible for wound recovery, and it might even trigger an infection! The doctor had advised him to watch his diet, so what was he even doing, sipping a cup of coffee?Cedrick placed the cup down elegantly, his face calm and unperturbed. "Nothing much. I've just heard rumors of my wife being accused of bribery and theft and decided to stop by. Don't be too nervous."How was William not supposed to be nervous? Cedrick's power was equal to the VSA Group's CEO!"Y—Your wife?" William gulped and asked cautiously, "Are you saying that your wife works in our company?""My wife has always been low profile, which is why we didn't give a proper introduction," replied Cedrick casually, his eyes falling on Catelyn. "Cat, come here."The room fell into dead silence. Apart from Amy, everyone else on the scene was in disbelief.Catelyn, on the other hand, panicked upon being called on like that

    'I've lost everything already! What else do you want from me?' screamed Ivan internally, knowing he would never say these things out loud.He turned to Cately and smiled politely as he apologized, "I'm so sorry to have wronged you, Missus Mason. Can you please allow me to walk out of here in peace?"Catelyn had achieved her goal.Ivan had relied on his fame and talent within the architecture world his whole life, and without these things, he was nothing.Cedrick, however, did not think it was enough."You've forged evidence just to frame my wife and instigated others to commit crimes for you. If these were reported to the police…""No!" Ivan lost his composure as he shrieked, "I have an elderly mother to take care of at home! I can't go to jail!""Don't worry. My wife is too kindhearted, and she'd never do that. That's why I've thought of a second option for you."Ivan gulped nervously, doubtful of how forgiving Catelyn was. Nonetheless, he questioned, "What's…the second option

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.
