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
"Master Cedrick, I am sorry!" Eason felt chills down his spine and dared not hide it any longer. "I was just thinking of letting you and Miss Clark cool it off a little…"Thud!Suddenly, a blow landed on Eason's abdomen.A human shadow swooped past, and Eason stumbled two steps back from the impact of the kick. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and he remained hunched for a long while, but he did not make a single grunt. He had made a decision without consulting authority, and deserved punishment."When did I allow you to meddle in my personal matters? Should I give up my CEO seat to you as well?""Master Cedrick, you know my loyalty to you. I never meant to do that!"Eason bowed deeply. He was an orphan from a very young age. It was Cedrick who paid for his education and recruited him into the company after his graduation.They were of similar age, but Cedrick always had an intimidating aura. Other than his relationship with Catelyn, Eason had never seen Cedrick this
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
