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
Due to the quality assurance company's popularity in Sapphire City, it did not take long for the information of Executive Mister Zimmer to be discovered.The most ridiculous fact was that Mister Zimmer was afraid of his wife. It was said that he married his wife when he was young and lived under her parent's roof since then.Catelyn soon found Missus Zimmer's email and sent the video to her. 'You have my respect for cheating on your wife who supported you for your success.'As for what Missus Zimmer would do after seeing this video, that was none of Catelyn's business.…The next morning when Catelyn returned to the company, everyone was preparing for the demolition of the building that would happen on the upcoming Friday.Everyone was attentive.Maribel arrived late, and her heavy makeup could not cover the dark circles under her eyes.Jolene knew what happened last night, so she pretended to be puzzled and shouted, "Hey, Associate Director Lionel! Didn't you sleep last night?
Missus Zimmer grabbed a fistful of her husband's hair when she realized how he had stared at the beautiful woman in front of them. She did it so roughly that it felt as though she was trying to pull off his scalp.Mister Zimmer was in so much pain that his limbs started to tremble involuntarily. He then quickly pointed at Maribel in the crowd. "S—She… It's her! She spiked me and kept seducing me. I couldn't help but do as she wanted!"Honey, I know I've made a big mistake, and I promise it'll never happen again. Please forgive me… Y—You should blame Maribel for all of this!"As soon as Maribel was mentioned, all eyes in the office were on her.Maribel turned pale as she stammered, "You're talking nonsense! Did you think I'd go on the bed of a loser like you?! C—Clearly I'm the victim here!"She sobbed, "Missus Zimmer, this is all a misunderstanding. Please believe me! It's your husband who forced me..." The more she spoke, the more she choked up as if she had suffered grievance.
Despite her attacks, Missus Zimmer was not satisfied. She thus asked the bodyguard to take Maribel's shirt off, film her, and upload the video to the Internet.She wanted her to be disfigured."D—Don't come any closer! Put the phone down!" shrieked Maribel as she was thrown to the ground, naked. She quickly crouched, desperately burying her face in her thighs, trying to retain her last shred of dignity.Alas, as Missus Zimmer gave an order, the bodyguard pulled her hand away and dragged her up.She refused to stand up to be filmed in such a scandalous video. She was teased as if she was a puppy walked by the bodyguards, which looked ridiculous.One could hear the voice of Missus Zimmer in the video that the bodyguard recorded, "Old stink Zimmer is a darned old man. He's fat and bald, yet you still want to be his mistress and rely on him to be at the top?"Let me tell you: he relies on me for his living. Who do you think you are?!"Keep recording! When you're done, upload it to a
The two bodyguards standing beside Maribel let go at the same time.She was thrown to the ground. There were red marks on her wrists, and her face contorted in pain.Yet she could not care less. She ran to pick up the torn clothes on the ground to cover up her body.She forced herself to ignore the mocking expressions from those male colleagues.After covering her private parts, Catelyn walked over slowly and eventually stopped in front of her.Maribel's eyes landed on Catelyn's high heels, and she slowly looked up to meet Catelyn's deep eyes."Now tell me, who gave you the order last night?"Maribel's face was swollen like a bun. She bit her lower lip forcefully and asked instead, "How did Missus Zimmer learn about her husband and me? Did you tell her? It's you who led her to find me, right?!"Catelyn chuckled. "Missus Zimmer probably hasn't gone far. She seemed reluctant to let you go. Should I call her back again?""No! I'll talk!" Recalling the scene of being bullied by Mi
Pentaland Group used the seesaw technique, promoting their housing by triggering a disconcertment among the society on the quality and safety of housing, with the help of Louis from VSA Group. Then they followed it up with the new real estate pre-sale.Pentaland's properties had gained unprecedented popularity, and the sales were unparalleled by any previous sales.Then the female CEO of Pentaland Group poached Louis and colluded with reporters and a female liar to stir up ridicule against the VSA Group on the Internet to push the price of the new building to a new height.Pentaland Group became even more extreme when they joined forces with Maribel, who led the projects of shoddy constructions, to frame Catelyn, who tried to settle the dissatisfaction among the people.However, they never foresaw that their conspiracy would be revealed one day…Gradually, the influencers began to deviate from the topic, both intentionally or unintentionally, suggesting that Maribel was a pawn in
