Catelyn called a cab so she could send Joanne home before she would go to Riverdale Entertainment Club to check the video surveillance.Joanne was afraid of being recognized, so she wore a thick mask.The previous passenger of this cab might have brought durian as the car was filled with the smell of this fruit.Joanne felt a little choked when she took the contraceptive pill. To make things worse, the strong urge to puke suddenly arose in her body when she smelled durian, and her headache worsened.The driver slammed on the brake on a turn.Hastily, Catelyn had the driver stop at the roadside, and Joanne quickly ran to a trash can before she started throwing up."Ack!"She puked for several minutes until it felt as though her stomach was empty. Even after, she barely felt better and could not vomit anymore.The driver was worried about what had happened to her, so he handed over a pile of tissue papers and asked, "Miss, are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?
When Catelyn lowered her gaze, she was startled to find Miles and Ollies staring back at her. "Why are you both here?"Miles and Ollie were carrying their school bags with the same expression on their faces."Godmother is sick, so we came to take care of her," replied Miles."You two are still children that need to be taken care of, and you think you can take care of your godmother?" Catelyn rolled her eyes as she felt the existence of the two children here would only bring more trouble for her.Miles immediately jumped and shouted, "Mommy, you underestimated me!"Ollie winked at Catelyn, implying that they could take good care of Miles's godmother.Catelyn glanced at Joanne, asleep on the bed. She recalled how she adored playing with Miles the most.Perhaps it would be nice to let these two stay so they could cheer her up.With that, Catelyn lowered her voice and spoke, "Come in, but keep your voices down, and don't disturb your godmother. Do you copy?"Miles immediately rais
Miles and Ollie were also very attentive to Joanne.Catelyn just called the boys to eat, and the two quickly wiped the tables clean and put the chairs together. Ollie also helped Joanne to the dining table in a very considerate manner.Joanne felt flattered as she enjoyed how the boys treated her like royalty. She lowered her head and gave Ollie a quick kiss on his cheek."You're so cute! Why can't I have you as my son!" cooed Joanne, suddenly winking at Catelyn. "Kitty, if I have a daughter in the future, she can be good partners with your sons."Ollie blushed and lowered his head when Joanne gave him a peck.Although he was adored by many elders in the Mason family, he was still the son of Cedrick, and not many people dared to kiss him like this. In fact, Ollie could count how many did with just one hand.Catelyn's eyes swept across Ollie and Miles, and she was, in truth, very curious about what kind of girls they would be into in the future."Sure," said Catelyn. "Let them be
Maia endured the nausea she felt and steeled herself to take a bath.Suddenly, someone came over and slammed her head against the wall."Agh!" cried Maia.The other female prisoners who were nearby were also taking a bath. When they heard the sound, everyone was stunned for a moment.Whoever was holding her against the wall was too strong. The more Maia struggled, the more excited the person became!Maia was thrown to the ground. She struggled and tried to get a hold of herself. She looked around, trying to see if the person was Lace, but she could not make out a face.Maia bit her lip as her face burned in pain. She could barely stand by holding onto the bar handles between the grids.Her eyes watered in anguish. Tears mixed with the stream of water above her head slid down Maia's cheeks.She hated it here!It was all because of Richard, Catelyn, and Cedrick!With that, the most tragic period of Maia's life began.She was harassed very often throughout the day in the detent
Moreover, the Clark family was very proud of Maia for being married to Cedrick.Everyone thought the Clarks' glory days were upon them, but none could foresee how foolish Maia would be.Jason had also received a lot of accusations lately that he disregarded the interests of the family to save his daughter. Some even suggested to him that he should recognize Catelyn as his goddaughter.Catelyn was Ezekiel's bloodline, but nobody paid attention to him anymore ever since he went bankrupt.Since Catelyn had Cedrick backing her up, she was like the center of attention among the Clarks while Maia was slowly fading into irrelevance.Jason was already irked by the entire matter. Seeing Maia's current pathetic state, he thought she was useless as ever. Even if he got Maia out and brought her back, she would not be able to bring honor to the Clark family.Maia, not knowing what her father was thinking, bit her lip in grief, "Dad, I won't misbehave anymore. Please save me! I'm your daughter
Cedrick went straight to Benjamin's office without making an appointment.With more than a dozen lawyers in the office, everyone's heads were raised as they looked at the door in unison the moment they heard footsteps coming their way.Cedrick knocked on the door and swept his gaze over everyone indifferently. "I'm buying the next hour of your boss's work time. Go home, everyone," he said.Everyone subconsciously looked at Benjamin.He knew that Cedrick was impatiently waiting for his contract, so he quickly glanced at the time on his watch. "Fine. Everyone is required to work overtime on the weekends to make up for this hour."The crowd dispersed immediately.Cedrick stared at Benjamin as he finished drawing up the prenuptial contract.The moment Benjamin heard Cedrick's conditions for the contract, he looked up and stared at him like a ghost."Do you really want to write this?" Benjamin asked.Cedrick's tall body sank into the sofa, his legs folded elegantly and idly. "From
The car went around in circles, and Cedrick eventually parked at Ocean Path Residence.He glanced at the time and noted that it was three in the morning.Rolling down the window, the cold wind instantly blew into the car. Oddly, Cedrick did not feel the cold at all; perhaps it was because his heart was burning within.He quietly stared at a dark suite on the fifth floor with tenderness in his eyes.…Catelyn slept soundly and deeply all night. She even dreamed that Cedrick had brought her and the two boys to a horse farm.This was what Cedrick had promised them. However, due to some unforeseen circumstances in Franche, it was not fulfilled.Out of the blue, the phone on the bedside vibrated, waking her up from her dream.Noting that the boys were sound asleep, Catelyn took the phone and went to answer it on the balcony."Hello?" answered Catelyn groggily."Get your account book ready, I'll wait for you downstairs," the deep voice of a man rang through the phone.Catelyn's sl
Sure enough, Cedrick had not left yet. His car was still downstairs.Catelyn looked down from the fifth floor. Although it was vague, Catelyn could see a man's silhouette at the driver's seat, honking irritably.Catelyn's eyes darkened. She quickly took her phone and dialed Cedrick's number. Not only did Cedrick not answer, but he also continued honking.How childish of him![You'll disturb the entire neighborhood like this! Joanne the boys are going to wake up!] texted Catelyn.Only a series of sharper honks responded to her.At this point, more residents were awakened and started protesting with dissatisfaction. Catelyn could even hear Stella yelling from next door. Apparently, she stayed back to take care of Joanne the night before, not going home.Catelyn took a deep breath and sent another text message to Cedrick. [Stop it! I'll come down after I wash my face and change my clothes, okay? It's really disturbing!]With that, the honking stopped abruptly.Catelyn was speechl
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
