Catelyn slowly regained a little consciousness from the kiss. Her beautiful cherry lips opened and said, "Do you know where Windy usually hangs out?""If I knew the answer, you would be jealous," said Cedrick as he controlled the temperature and wind speed of the hair dryer to a lower setting.Catelyn felt very comfortable as she felt the steady wind from the hair dryer.She climbed onto Cedrick's lap and lay down. This position was convenient for him to dry her hair."I'm serious about this. I'm not happy that Windy has refused to cooperate with me. I can't just let this opportunity slip away like that," said Catelyn.Cedrick smiled playfully. "She enjoys hanging out at places where there are a lot of men. Nightclubs, pubs, fashion shows, underground auctions, you name it. Are you sure you want to go?""Is there any place she goes that would be a little less dodgy?" Catelyn looked away embarrassedly."I'll get Eason to find that out for you," said Cedrick....Catelyn had sta
Joanne pondered for a few seconds, then muttered, "Edwin Atherton."Catelyn stood up from the sofa in shock. "You're kidding!""I sure wish I was!" Joanne choked.Catelyn patted her on the back while cursing Edwin's name. She then quickly said, "Is it because Edwin felt ashamed of you, so he decided to compensate by marrying you?"Joanne did not dare to tell Catelyn how she got pregnant. She leaned over and hugged Catelyn. "Sob… Kitty, I don't want to leave you!" She started tearing up and continued, "Here I am, signing up myself to a hellish marriage. How I wish I were like you to have a husband like Master Cedrick…"Joanne's mind was racing. From now on, she would have to focus on taking care of her womb until the baby is born, and then she would have to nurse the child.Catelyn was worried for Joanne. Edwin had a pretty bad reputation.He might bully Joanne, and even his mistresses would humiliate her. She may not be able to handle it."Let me know if Edwin treats you badl
"It's time to go home now," Edwin interrupted Joanne's explanation.Before she could say anything, Edwin dragged her into the passenger seat and drove the car away.Joanne glared angrily at Edwin. "Why did you tell Kitty that I'm pregnant? That's not true!"Edwin tapped his slender fingers on the steering wheel and said, "I will take you back home to see Granny when I have the time. She is looking forward to your child.""Didn't you hear me? I only have roundworms in my stomach. It's not a child!" Joanne reiterated angrily.Edwin replied, "I have already bribed the doctor. As long as you keep your mouth shut, everyone will know that the child in your stomach is the great-grandson of the Atherton Family."Joanne was speechless. The whole purpose of the marriage was so that Edwin could keep lying?Why did she even buy that cheap pregnancy test stick?How annoying! Joanne kicked the pedal under her foot in anger, making a muffled thud as if something had fallen off. She quickly lo
"Miss Kingsley, we meet again," Catelyn raised a smile and greeted Windy.Windy raised her head slightly, motioning them to take a seat across her.Apparently, Windy had not ordered any food yet. Catelyn called the waiter for the menu and handed it to Windy. However, she just ignored her, staring at Cedrick on the opposite side.Catelyn suddenly felt a strange feeling. "Miss Kingsley, don't you want to order anything?""Right," said Windy casually. She took the menu and ordered three simple appetizers randomly and pushed the menu back in front of Catelyn.Catelyn ordered a bowl of stew. The waiter smiled as she took their orders and left."Master Cedrick, it's been a while. I didn't even know you were married." Windy smiled, her curly hair spread out charmingly. "Such a pity, I wanted to ask you out…"The strange feeling within Catelyn intensified as she listened to Windy's words.She's flirting with her husband!Catelyn reminded herself about the contract. She forced a smile
Catelyn dragged Cedrick away very quickly. Windy burst into laughter as she watched the both of them leave.She expected Catelyn to be a boring person, but she turned out to be pretty interesting.…Cedrick was dragged to a small remote aisle at the back of the mall with no one around. Catelyn's eyes instantly lit up in flames. She pulled Cedrick's necktie toward her, forcing him to lower his head. "You seemed pretty intimate with Windy just now. You didn't even push her away when she touched you. Her rose perfume is very alluring, isn't it?" she said coldly.One of Catelyn's arms was resting on his neckline, they both were so close to each other that the tip of Cedrick's nose almost hit her, and she could also smell his masculine breath.Cedrick thought it was pretty amusing to see Catelyn being so jealous. Plus, she had just publicly admitted to being his wife earlier. Now Cedrick could not help but feel a great sense of satisfaction within."She was really quick, and I didn'
Catelyn's thoughts drifted away slowly. Suddenly remembering the moments where Windy touched Cedrick's neck, she said to her husband intimidatingly, "Carry me home. That's your punishment!"...After a long wait, the sample comparison report that Lola sent to the professional DNA identification center finally came out.Since Summer's DNA samples were long gone, technically, only the DNA samples of Catelyn and Old Lady Atherton could be used to compare for an intergenerational kinship identification. After all, since Old Lady Atherton was not Catelyn's parent, the accuracy of the comparison was only about a quarter.Even so, Lola still arranged for someone to carry on with it.Her whole body froze when she saw the results that the similarity in the last row was as high as 27%.Impossible!Wasn't Catelyn Ezekiel's child? How did she become Summer's daughter?Could it be that Summer did not actually leave with the mysterious man but stayed by Ezekiel's side instead?Desperately, Lola trie
Quinn's initial reaction was panic. She stuttered, "Miss Atherton, to impersonate Catelyn is very risky. If the Atherton family finds out, I will be dead…""High risk, high reward. If you managed to gain the old lady's trust, think about it, you would be the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton. By then, you could easily handle Catelyn, don't you think so?"Lola would not want to use Quinn either if she had other options. However, Quinn hated Catelyn, and she was a coward. It was easy for Lola to manipulate her. Quinn's knees trembled involuntarily. Her heart was racing. There was a little person in her mind, telling her repeatedly to agree to Lola! She wanted to be the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton…"However, it is so easy to find out about my background…""What does it matter? Your mother abandoned you from a young age. As long as you hold the bangle and insist that you are the daughter of Summer Atherton, I will take care of the rest!" Lola was hesitant too.
Catelyn kept on consoling herself that if this project failed, she could still try to negotiate for another project.No worries! "Miss Clark, I could never imagine that you managed to seal the deal with Deluxe International…" Hunter reached his hand out to Catelyn enthusiastically. His gaze was full of respect. Catelyn could only smile weakly. "Mister Wilson, in fact, Windy has already…""Miss Clark, you can drop your act. Everyone knows that you are capable. Even Miss Kingsley had respect for you. Mister Wilson said to plan a celebration for you. Just think about where you want to celebrate later." Maribel could not hold her smile any longer and said with an envious tone. "Yes, just drop your act.""Miss Clark is so young but so capable. Deluxe International said that we have an equal split in the profits. This way, our long-term benefits will definitely be worth more than that of the land!""We will no longer face the crisis of being laid off!"Everyone was discussing exci
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
