The officer leaned against his chair, opened his notebook, and looked at Catelyn. He did not look too genial for a peaceful 'questioning'.Catelyn felt extremely uneasy being interrogated like this."He was my fiance four years ago. We're not related in any way.""According to the victim's family, the night when Jamie Mason was assaulted, you were at Barricade Club, too. You couldn't afford to be a patron of the place based on your current level of income, so why were you there? Were you trying to get back with Jamie Mason, and he rejected you because he had a girlfriend? You lost your temper and had a group of people beat him up, correct?""No! It is not!"Catelyn realized that he was trying to lead her, triggering her in the process."Jamie was the one who set me up and tricked me into going to that place that night. He got me drunk and even attempted to assault me. Thankfully, a friend of mine came to my rescue, or Jamie Mason would've been the one sitting here right now!"Th
Catelyn felt dizzy at this moment, and her body was warm. She could not even lift her hand.Everything felt surreal; she felt herself drifting into hallucination.She was even seeing Lola right in front of her.Splash!Lola emptied the glass of water onto Catelyn. Pleased with herself, she looked at Catelyn and sneered, "Look at your pathetic sleepy face. Let me splash you awake. How's it sound?"Catelyn's eyes widened. "It's you?"With a click of the switch, Lola turned the light off.Catelyn's irises abruptly constricted at this, her eyes too used to the bright light and could not adapt to the sudden change. She had to close her eyes for a while before getting used to the dim ambiance of the room.At this point, she was on the verge of a meltdown, having been splashed with a glass of cold water to solidify losing her sanity.Her eyes had reddened, and her voice was hoarse."You and your sisters framed me—I should've known. Where is Louella? Did she chicken out?"Lola wore
"Where is your superior?" Miles had to look up to meet the man's gaze.On the bridge his tiny yet pointy nose sat a pair of impressive-looking sunglasses, contrasting his fair skin very well. However, his appearance, coupled with his height, made an adorable sight, much to the officer's amusement."You're looking for our superior, huh? Who are you?"Miles raised his chin and puffed his cheeks, saying, "I'm Ollie Mason, Cedrick Mason's son. Have your superior come and see me."The man fell silent for a second.He looked at the boy before him, and his lower jaw fell unhinged. "Cedrick Mason's…son?"Was this the renowned Young Master Ollie?Well, rumors had it that the boy was barely four years old this year. He should look similar to the boy before him at this moment.Miles pursed his lips and looked crossed. "Get him to see me, now!"The man, though not believing Miles entirely, brought him to the lobby.Miles ran around as soon as he was in the lobby, searching high and low f
Without much of a choice, Simon opened the door to the fourth room.As expected, Catelyn was inside.…Catelyn wanted to open her eyes to look at the person at the door. At this point, however, she seemed to have caught a cold and was feverish. Her body was weak.She kept seeing the same scenes replaying before her eyes. One moment was about her falling from the stone steps, and another was about a child dying in front of her.She wanted nothing more than to pass out at this moment.Miles looked past Simon and could see Catelyn being cuffed to the cold stainless steel chair.No longer were her eyes crystal clear; they were agonizingly red with veins branching toward her pupils. Not only was her hair tousled, but her lips were awfully chapped, and she was barely conscious. Her head was dangling from her neck, swaying side to side, looking like she could faint."Big Kitty!" exclaimed Miles, worried and furious altogether. His little heart almost shattered into pieces.He release
Two handsome yet cold strode across the lobby and approached him from behind. It was Cedrick and Edwin.Eason withdrew his gun. His presence screamed bloodlust.As they got closer, Cedrick's slender figure became clearer. His face was stern as he looked down at Warren and Simon. "You were saying? Who did you want to kill?"The lobby was pin drop silent.Simon felt suffocated. He did not know Cedrick but was already stunned by his aura. He could feel his tongue stiffen and could not say a word.Cedrick smirked. He walked past the two losers and saw Miles lying next to Catelyn. He was just a child, trying to wipe the dirt off Catelyn's face using his tiny fingers.His gesture was gentle, he was scared of hurting Catelyn.He was bawling his eyes out. Cedrick frowned. Since when did he change his clothes? After all, it was his own son. Although Cedrick was a little disgusted, he bent over and lifted him up with one arm.Miles did not want to be separated from Catelyn. Suddenl
Catelyn was lying on the hospital bed in the middle of the night. She fell into a restless sleep. She felt herself traveling back to four years ago when she was called to the hotel by Jamie.She pleaded in the pitch dark room, "Please don't…"Her struggles and attempt to resist were in vain.Pain, anger, contempt, and many different feelings drowned her. However, right at that moment, the door that was shut was banged open by someone. A tall silhouette appeared at the doorway, like a knight in shining armor. The man's features became clearer as he came closer. Finally, Catelyn could see his face clearly. He was—Cedrick Mason!Catelyn gasped and opened her eyes wide as she looked right into a pair of bottomless black eyes that were about to suck everything in like two blackholes.Cedrick was not all too happy when he heard Catelyn calling Jamie's name in her dream."You're awake.""I…" Catelyn moved slightly and felt her body limp and weak. Her head felt heavy, and there
"Maybe I had not seen clearly and had mistaken him for Miles… Where is Ollie now?""He had been watching you for hours, so I asked Edwin to send him back home to rest," Cedrick explained while rubbing his temples.Ollie worried him too much…However, he is too young to be going through his 'rebellious phase'.Cedrick's gaze subconsciously landed on Catelyn's pale face. Even though she was sick and pale, she still looked so demure.Catelyn nodded. She was touched. She felt her nose stuffy and said, "Remember to thank him for me. I did not expect him to come to rescue me at the police station…""I gotta give you credit for being able to turn him into a reckless kid."Catelyn did not really understand him and looked at him, confused. "What did you say?"Cedrick shrugged it off. "I asked what you would like to have for supper."Catelyn just realized she was hungry.Before she could answer it, she could hear her stomach grumbling. She laughed, pinched her belly, and licked her lips.
Catelyn could not resist and muttered, "Master Cedrick, you're lucky to have a good bodyguard like Eason. You should show him some respect and be nice."Cedrick came closer and lifted her chin using the tip of his fingers. He secretly exerted a little more force than necessary. Her pale skin turned slightly pink where he pinched."Since when did I 'disrespect' him?"Catelyn could feel his breath down her neck. She found it awkward to be holding his gaze and wanted to push him away, but he was still holding her chin, so she was rather vulnerable."I just think that Eason was quite a responsible person. You should not be so rude, or you will lose his loyalty."Cedrick moved his fingers from the tip of her chin to caress the corner of her lips and said in a deep voice, "So, I should thank you for your advice?""I…" Catelyn felt she was in danger. From the corner of her eyes, she saw a few suspicious men standing by the door and suddenly pushed Cedrick away. "Who's there!"Cedrick t
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
