Cedrick, obviously, never expected Catelyn to use a knife against him.Nonetheless, he was not afraid and instead laughed devilishly."No wonder I fell for you.""Stop flirting, and let me go now. Otherwise, don't blame me for whatever happens next!" Catelyn gritted her teeth and glared at him. Her grip on the knife tightened.Cedrick did not seem disturbed at all. His eyes finally settled in the darkness as he could see her face better. She looked pale but was nonetheless stunning."Stab me if you can." Cedrick looked at her grimly. "You said you can't accept that I hurt you, didn't you? Fine, I'll give you a chance. You stab me, and we'll be even.""Do you think I won't?""Try me."Catelyn shivered.The knife was pressed slightly deeper into his skin, but she could not bring herself to stab him. Even if it was just a small slit, she would want to throw the knife away immediately.She was never a malicious person.She was, however, flustered and exasperated."I didn't want
Even if she could only injure his chest or his shoulder, that would be better than being stuck right at where she was. Having nothing else to say, Catelyn looked at Cedrick and turned toward her room. She slammed the door shut and even double-locked her door. She even moved the cabinet to keep the door shut to prevent Cedrick from sneaking in the middle of the night.In the living room, Cedrick looked at the master bedroom door locked shut, the smug on his face slowly fading away, replaced by a mix of dilemma and coldness.Even if they continued, he would not let her go.Ever since they crossed paths four years ago, they were fated to end up this way. Plus, the pair of twins were still waiting for him in the castle to bring her back.…The next day, Catelyn did not even have her breakfast and only came out of the room past eleven.She thought Cedrick had left.However, he moved his laptop and some documents to the living room and started working there. Catelyn almost sto
Catelyn was not scared at all. She ignored his presence and only continued to eat."Do you think your silent treatment is going to work on me? I will not let you go!" Cedrick tugged at his tie impatiently. He found it hard to breathe.There was some noise above his head. Catelyn took one glance at him, swallowed her food, then said, "Suit yourself."She seemed to have found a way to annoy him, and so she decided just to give him very brief replies every time. He deserved to have a taste of helplessness. She was so calm and indifferent. It felt as though punching right into a thick layer of cotton. Withdrawing the fist would feel that there was anger unreleased, but punching it would not help either. It was tormenting to keep it inside. Finally, Catelyn finished her food, placed her cutlery down on the table, then wiped her lips clean. She did not even look at the man's angry face but turned and went into the master bedroom. "Where are you going?" Cedrick pursued and gr
Ollie lodged a police report to accuse Cedrick of illegal kidnapping?…Ollie came upstairs with George's company.In fact, he did not want to involve George at all. However, he was only three and a half years old. Even if he were very articulate, no police would believe in his 'prank'.Only if there were an adult would the police take it seriously.The police cars were parked on the street, with the sirens and lights blinking.Cedrick's guards and the policemen were having a stand-off in the narrow corridor, the atmosphere was very tense. Behind them, the door was still shut tightly, and no one knew what was happening inside. George pointed at Cedrick grimly and said, "Sir, he is Cedrick Mason. He is suspected of having detained my friend Catelyn illegally. This little guy is his son, and he could be a witness!"Ollie's lips were pursed together when he heard George call his name out as a witness. Nonetheless, he nodded again and again without hesitation and was even using
Cedrick's guards pulled out their guns too, and it felt as though it was seconds away from an ugly fight. Ollie's beautiful eyes constricted, and he regretted it a little. He just wanted to rescue Mummy. He did not want Cedrick to be in confrontation with the local authorities. "Father, please don't resist anymore. This is Franche, not Sapphire City. You can't do things as you wish here," the little one said quickly and threw Eason a look. Eason received the signal and went to Cedrick to whisper something in his ears. However, Cedrick did not take them seriously. "You want the hostage? Try me. See if you can get her out today!"As soon as Cedrick finished his sentence, they all heard a commotion coming from inside. It sounded like someone had broken the door. Then, the door opened, and Catelyn stumbled out in her pajamas. When the police arrived, Cedrick had locked Catelyn up in the master bedroom. He did not expect her to have broken the door from inside! Cedrick's
Even though Catelyn did not entirely believe the two little ones, she still asked them politely, "What is the plan?"Ollie shook his head and decided to keep the suspense for a bit. "Uncle George, please turn left. There is a public toilet. Drive there quickly." George was bewildered too, but he still followed his direction.The car zoomed through the heavy traffic and soon reached the public toilet that Ollie was talking about.Ollie pulled Catelyn into the toilet. As soon as she went inside, she saw a woman that resembled her figure walking out. It was Jolene!"Kitty, I heard that something happened to you. I was terrified!" Jolene gave Catelyn a big hug. Catelyn was confused. Miles was standing right next to Jolene. He saw Catelyn and was relieved. He then urged, "Mummy, thank God you made it out. Quick, exchange your clothes with Jolene.""Exchange my clothes?" Catelyn was even more confused. Ollie explained concisely, "Later, Jolene will be taking your place. Uncle
"Kitty is a free individual, and she can go wherever she wants to. Cedrick, don't you bug her anymore. There are so many people willing to be abused out there. You could just spend some money and…"It was hard for Jolene to associate the handsome face in front of her with the abuser, but she boldly replied, seeing how pissed he appeared to be. "People willing to be abused?" Cedrick frowned.Jolene remembered what the two babies complained about before and confidently asked, "Aren't you an abuser?"Cedrick found himself speechless.So that was the reputation that the mother and sons trio built for him behind his back!…In the hotel.After a long day, Catelyn ordered an extra large portion of food delivery.The three of them had a hearty meal.It was warm inside the room. Miles took his coat and pants off and hopped into the bed in his little yellow duck underpants. He massaged Catelyn's shoulders and rubbed her waist."Mummy, Big Demon cheated on you and betrayed you. We do
Their actions were too swift, catching the little ones off guard. When they finally regained their senses, they were already tucked in the passenger seats at the back of the car, and the doors were slammed shut. They were completely cut off from the outside world…Grandma May was pushed onto the floor as well. "Miles, Ollie! Stop! Who are you? Let go of my children…" Catelyn saw this from afar. She was sweating profusely and ran in their direction with all her might.However, by the time she got there, the car door was already shut. The car engine was revved, and Catelyn could only faintly hear the two babies' desperate calls.Then, not sure what happened next, but they both were shut up abruptly!Catelyn panicked and took her phone out, wanting to call 911."Miss… Miss Clark." Grandma May sobbed while pulling Catelyn's hands and said nervously, "Before you arrived, a man told me something and asked for me to relay it to you."Catelyn could feel her blood boiling, and she ask
