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
