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
Catelyn approached one lawyer after another, using the money David gave her. "...I'm so sorry, Miss Clark, our lawyers might not have the competence to take on your case.""...Miss Clark, we accepted a big project recently. Our schedules are full.""...There's a legal firm next door. Maybe you should give them a try?"When everyone heard that the counterparty lawyer was Benjamin Anderson, they all backed out and profusely rejected all her offers. Benjamin, Benjamin.He was a demon that everyone was scared of.Catelyn recalled that back in the days when Benjamin's name had intimidated Jamie's lawyer so much that she could easily win the suit without doing much. Did karma finally hit her?Catelyn finally managed to hire an unknown lawyer with a lot of money. The kind that was fresh out of college and just obtained his license.Sometimes, when Catelyn asked about her custody rights, he had to refer to his books for a long while to come up with an answer.Catelyn looked at the
