If she told Catelyn the name, they would investigate the cause of death.Catelyn studied the woman's expression and noticed that she was out of words. Thus, she proceeded to assure the press, "The safety issues that had happened during the construction were indeed the responsibility of VSA Group, and we hereby extend our deepest regret and apologies, but we've already come to a decision: If the project doesn't meet its safety requirement, we'll tear it all down and build it all over again."We apologize for the inconvenience we've caused the public and are willing to compensate for the loss tenfold. VSA Group has a history of over a hundred years since it started in Franche, and the Sapphire City branch has faced a crisis with its reputation before due to the failings in management. We've reflected upon our failures, are dedicated to maintaining our moral commitment, and are determined to not repeat our mistakes."To make up for our mistakes, we promise that when the new units are r
Pentaland Group announced that Louis and Lola were their new ambassadors and reposted the announcement on various social media platforms.Lola requested them to do so and even purposely spread rumors that she was dating Louis when the poster was released to increase her popularity.To her bewilderment, Louis's female admirers were not happy with it. They all started leaving comments that said Lola was not a match for Louis because she was too ugly; some even went as far as to dig into her background and said that Lola had been abandoned by the Atherton Family.Lola did not care about other comments, but the one that said she was abandoned by the Atherton Family had offended her deeply. Anger had taken hold of her senses, and she immediately replied to the comment viciously.However, she had forgotten to switch to her anonymous account before doing so, and her post had been screenshotted even though she deleted it right away.Swarmed by negative comments, Lola simply handed her soc
However, it was evident Mister Zimmer had lost his shape. He had a beer belly, and when he smiled, she could see a layer of yellow taint on his teeth."Come, Miss Clark—a toast." Mister Zimmer raised his glass.Catelyn hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, Mister Zimmer. I've had an allergy lately, and the doctor says I can't consume alcohol.""It's just one glass. Are you really going to refuse me?" Mister Zimmer lowered his tone dangerously.She spotted a teapot on the table and immediately reached out to pour herself a cup of tea. "Mister Zimmer, please allow me to drink tea instead. I really can't drink alcohol; my face will be filled with red bumps and marks if I do. I can't look like that out here..."Her smile was blinding and alluring in a way that resembled a blooming flower.Mister Zimmer nodded, reluctant to take his eyes off Catelyn even as he did so.Catelyn gulped down two cups of tea in front of Mister Zimmer; the fragrance of the tea lingered on the tip of her tongue.
Quinn, at this moment, was placed as the person in charge in Pentaland.She could have saved Maribel right away, but she wanted Catelyn's reputation to be ruined beyond repair. The best way to ruin a woman's reputation, after all, was to do it the same way she did to Queenie Mason.While waiting for Maribel, Quinn received a phone call."How are things coming along?" Quinn sounded a lot more powerful than she used to be. She was starting to like the feeling of bossing people around, even.She finally understood why those who got rich grew arrogant. Why not, with all the money and power that could fuel a person's ego?Maribel's attitude was much better than before as she flatteringly replied, "Not to worry, Miss Weir; I saw it myself that Mister Zimmer added the drug into the teapot. Catelyn won't get away this time.""Once you get the video, remember to send it to me immediately.""Regarding the thing that you promised me…""If you can ruin Catelyn, I'll give you enough money f
Catelyn was startled when she realized that it was David. "It's…you?"She almost thought he was Cedrick."What happened to you?" David's face under his golden framed spectacles seemed so gentle.Catelyn relied on her willpower to support her body, recalling that Cedrick did not like her getting too close to David. She then leaned against the wall and panted heavily. Her face was blushing as though she was drunk."I just drank a little too much, don't worry. I'll be fine in a bit…"David did not detect any scent of alcohol on her and thus believed her, and while he was skeptical of her answer, he did not expose her either. He merely said, "Let me send you home, or I should ask Cedrick to come pick you up?""He s—should be here soon.""Alright." David did not plan to leave her on her own, still. He would wait until Cedrick was here, and only then he would leave. At that moment, Maribel came by. She saw David standing next to her and felt a little shaken. However, she noticed tha
Although Catelyn had not fully regained consciousness, she could tell the man holding her to his chest was Cedrick solely from his scent.Leaning in his arms, she let out a steady sigh."You have Windy now, so keep your nasty hand from the woman you shouldn't touch." Cedrick looked at David coldly.Not wanting to be outdone by his imposing manner, David put one hand in his pocket and refuted, "It was your wife who threw herself toward me and held me. If you look carefully, you'll notice that she also crumpled my shirt. It's an Italean designer's handmade masterpiece that took months to finish.""I've paid for the clothes, and the check will be sent to your office.""Well, now. Thank you, deep pocket." David pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Maribel on the ground. "By the way, that lady is up to something disadvantageous to your wife. My opinion is…get rid of her, and leave no mark behind."David, the man who was never soft-hearted to his enemies, d
"Have you forgotten everything?" rang a voice from Catelyn's bedside.Catelyn frowned and slowly began to recall what had happened. She barely remembered that she was discussing the details of the quality inspection's results with Mister Zimmer, the quality inspector hired by the company, but found herself drugged soon after.'I remembered running out of the room and bumping into...David!'"Any picture in mind?" Cedrick frowned when he saw her expression, feeling that she had regained some of her memories.Catelyn was taken away by David last night, and Cedrick could not imagine what would happen to her if he was slightly late.Just as Cedrick had worried about, Catelyn did not know what David would have done to her, but she knew that she would not be lucky enough to get away like this time if this happened again.She did not dare to refute the man when she looked into his gloomy, cold eyes, and weakly tugged at the hem of his clothes. "I know I was careless. I promise it won't h
"Then, you have to be careful, and don't let the bad guys bully you!" Miles warned anxiously before he hung reluctantly.Cedrick and Catelyn were very close to each other, so when he heard Miles' last sentence about the bad guy, Cedrick raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing Miles meant him.After hanging up the phone, Catelyn let out a long sigh. The older Miles got, the harder it was to fool him.Soon, the infusion bottle had run out of liquid. The doctor came over to do a body check and found out that Catelyn had recovered greatly, much to Catelyn's relief.The doctor was freaked out by Cedrick's vicious look when he checked on Catelyn."Thank you, doctor, I'm much better now." Catelyn sat up, positive that she was not dizzy anymore.The doctor put away the infusion bottle and needle, threw them into the trash to take them away later, and winked at her implicitly. "Miss Clark, Master Cedrick has been so kind to you. He knew you didn't like the smell of the hospital, so he had m
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
