The sun was setting, generously shedding golden rays of light on the ground. Edwin was wearing a dashing black vest, sitting in the CEO office of Worldwide Entertainment Co. reading the financial report of the latest quarter.Worldwide Entertainment Co. was known as the biggest 'stardom factory' in Sapphire City. It has produced numerous big and small actors and actresses, including the recent international award-winning actress. Edwin finished reading the financial report when his assistant routinely reported some important matters to him.However, the assistant noticed that he kept zoning out while he was reporting! This was unusual…Even though Edwin liked to have fun, he had always taken things seriously regarding work. Otherwise, he would not have been able to build such an empire in the entertainment industry. He had a very clear principle: he would never touch the person he worked with.There was a lot of gossip about him taking this actress out or another actress to
She had never taken that night seriously and only took it as a one-night stand.…Cedrick heard from Jolene that Catelyn made a bold promise in the VSA Group. He could not do anything other than give her affirmations. After all, this was her newly wedded wife. That night, he left the two kids at home and brought Catelyn for a candlelight dinner. Rose petals lined the edge of the table. Cedrick's sharp facial features looked soft under the candlelight. He cut the steak into pieces elegantly and passed them to Catelyn. He took over the piece of steak from Catelyn and continued cutting. "Do you need me to say something to the Kingsleys regarding the collaboration with Deluxe International?"Catelyn declined, "No. I cannot always depend on you. Your grandpa will probably dislike me for it again." Cedrick gazed at Catelyn intensely and said, "We can hide it from him. I don't want you to be working so hard.""To be facing new challenges at work is not hard for me," Catelyn re
Lola realized that Catelyn had seen her being molested by the old man. Her face turned green. Lola had always been proud and condescending. She had perceived herself as elegant and classy. However, right now, her makeup was thick and seductive, and she no longer had her initial elegance."Why are you here? Did Cedrick bring you here?"She obviously meant that it was a high-end golf course, and she would not expect Catelyn to be there. Lola looked at her from the corner of her eyes, trying to relive the superiority that she had in the past.Catelyn winked at her playfully. "I'm sure it's better to follow Cedrick than Mister Kingsley."Lola knew that she was making fun of her. She bit on her lower lip and strode away.She could not help but wonder, why did Catelyn tag along?…Catelyn was waiting for Cedrick and Mister Kingsley to finish their conversation, but she received Cedrick's text message.He asked her to go straight over. Catelyn thought about the stack of proposal
"Kitty, the weather is wonderful today. They are discussing business here. Shall we go play golf?"Catelyn knew that she was up to no good.She looked at Cedrick subconsciously. Before Cedrick could say anything, Phillip frowned. "Lola, stop messing around.""I just wanted to have fun with Miss Clark," Lola said affectionately to Phillip.Then, she half smiled and asked, "Or is Miss Clark so pretty that you do not want her to leave?"Phillip's face immediately changed. He observed Cedrick's expressions and warned Lola not to say nonsense. Cedrick was a gentleman who would not approach any woman, and he did not like being joked about in that sense. Catelyn could obviously see Cedrick frowning and did not wish to be stared at by Mister Kingsley, so she accepted Lola's suggestion. Catelyn had already changed, so they went straight to the middle of the golf course.The two women were competing against each other in the course, while Cedrick and Phillip were both sitting under t
The speeding club got closer and closer to Catelyn, and she quickly dodged to the side. Finally, the club brushed against her shoulder and swooped past, but when she backed away to avoid the blow, her ankle was twisted. She felt an acute pain in her ankle.Catelyn used one hand to support her knee and hunched, waiting for the pain to be over. "Oh dear! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! Are you injured?"Lola pretended to be shocked but was somehow satisfied. She threw her golf club away and came to support Catelyn. Catelyn avoided her contact. "I'm fine.""How would you be fine? I saw that I had accidentally hit your shoulder. Take off your clothes, let me help you to take a look…" Lola persistently followed her and was about to tear Catelyn's clothes away. Catelyn's ankle was hurting badly, and she was not in the mood to argue with Lola. Lola was, however, determined to rip Catelyn's clothes apart. She was desperate to see Catelyn being embarrassed. Catelyn knew what Lol
Cedrick held the ice bag in his palm for a little while to warm it up a little bit. Then, he picked up Catelyn's leg and placed it on his knee. Phillip and Lola were both left with their jaws unhinged.He gently rolled up Catelyn's pants, took off her shoes and socks, and placed the ice bag on her ankle.Catelyn gasped at the sudden cold on her ankle.Cedrick looked at her and said, "Hang in there."Catelyn nodded. Phillip and Lola looked equally shocked. Lola was not pleased and asked rhetorically, "Cedrick is so gentle. Not sure what his relationship with Miss Clark is?"Cedrick did not even look up but was focused on treating Catelyn. He did not answer her but asked, "What do you think our relationship is?"Lola almost choked on this question.Even Phillip could tell that the two of them did not have a simple relationship.He suddenly recalled that Cedrick's wedding was forced to call off before this, and it was all because of one woman. That woman's name happened to b
"That's all for now." Lola faked a smile, and her palm was sweaty. Cedrick took a sip of the red wine with an incomprehensible smile."Miss Atherton seems to know well about Italean cuisine. I saw that you picked two similar dishes. I prefer tuscana seafood a little more. What about you?"Lola nodded hastily in agreement. "I like tuscana seafood too. It is so fresh and tangy while chewy at the same time. Everyone should give it a try later."Cedrick's cold glare shot right through Lola."It's a type of soup. How would it be chewy?"Soup? Lola's face turned red immediately. "Right, it is soup. I'm sorry, I just thought about something else.""Cedrick, perhaps Miss Atherton was describing the seafood in the soup, weren't you, Miss Atherton?" Catelyn placed her wine glass down, and looked at Lola."Yes, that was what I meant. The soup is tangy, and the seafood is chewy."Phillip's face sank as he looked at Lola coldly. "Do you not know that I am allergic to seafood?"Lola smi
"What is it?""The long-time competitor of Deluxe International, Walters Company, knew Deluxe was planning to invest in an international holiday resort. They also invested in a piece of land, intending to compete with you. Coincidentally, right next to the location that Deluxe International Holiday Resort selected is a piece of land that VSA Group invested a few years ago."Phillip's eyeballs rolled. He was intrigued and a little agitated. Even though Deluxe International indeed invested in such a holiday resort, they had kept the information secretive. Where did Catelyn get the information?He then thought perhaps Cedrick had told her about it. He had to admit that he was interested in the piece of land that Catelyn mentioned as well. It was right next to the one belonging to Deluxe, only separated by a street. He had heard about it but had not expected the land to be in VSA Group's possession."You can decide to sell this land?""It depends on Mister Kingsley's decision on
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
