Jolene was right. It was one thing for Cedrick to see Catelyn hugging David, but would he actually mind it?Indeed, if it were not for David's rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable.However, would Cedrick actually just sit still and watch his wife being embraced in another man's arms? Of course not!Cedrick raised his jaw arrogantly and squinted at Miles. "Go back to your seat.""No." Miles said as he poked his fingers on Cedrick's shoulder, "Are you really not jealous of Uncle Nine? I want to see what your jealous face looks like."Cedrick replied coldly, "I'm not jealous."Following that, Ollie's expression immediately became serious, and he looked at Cedrick in disappointment. "Mummy and Uncle Nine were hugging each other, and you are neither angry nor jealous. Do you even love Mummy?"Cedrick did not answer.Miles nodded in agreement and pouted. "Perhaps the Big Demon had already lost interest in Mummy after marrying her, and now he doesn't mind Mummy hugging other
Catelyn pulled open the door and was shocked to see Grandpa Mason and Uncle Ford standing in the doorway.Grandpa Mason looked hostile and glared at her with malevolence.In his hands was a stack of photos…Catelyn immediately understood that he was there to interrogate her and was somewhat amused by this scene. Grandpa Mason did not go after the person who he should be going after, but instead was here bugging their happy family incessantly. Cedrick followed to see what was going on. He said lazily with one hand in his pocket, "Grandpa.""Care to explain these photos?" Grandpa Mason ignored Cedrick, his dark eyes locked onto Catelyn. Catelyn composed her thoughts, then smiled, and explained, "It was a misunderstanding, I was framed by my colleagues. Nine happened to pass by and support me. The photos were carefully edited by people with intentions. Grandpa, you are a smart person. You must be able to tell what is right or wrong.""You don't have to flatter me. I won't buy it!
However, the angrier he was, the more he had control over his emotions. He looked at Cedrick, expressionless. "Are you so serious about her?"Cedrick did not even hesitate and replied, "I had given you the answer before. Between her and the heirloom, I will choose her. So stop your attacks. This will not affect my relationship with her at all."Unlike his usual temperament, Grandpa Mason's expression was icy cold, he said word by word, "Ced, before tonight, I could pretend that you were just playing a tea party, but now, I want her to leave, no negotiations."His face was calm like the lake, but his heart was rolling in big tides. Cold breeze crept in from all directions, pulling someone down into a bottomless pit. Cedrick knew that Grandpa Mason had hidden his true intentions. His hand in his pocket slowly rolled into a fist. "Catelyn and the two kids are my bottom line. Grandpa, since you made it clear already, then I made it clear to you as well. I will not let anyone who pic
Cedrick had always wanted to bring her to see his mother. However, due to a lot of reasons, this was always postponed. The big four families each had their own cemeteries in which they buried their ancestors centuries ago. Only the people listed in their family book could be buried here. Therefore, even though they were legally married, as long as the Mason family prohibited Catelyn's name in the family book, she would not be buried here after she passed away. She would also not enjoy respect from the descendants after her. In other words, she would be seen as just a mistress to the later generations.Catelyn noticed the cemetery drawing closer and said cautiously, "Are you bringing me to see… my mother-in-law?""Yes." Cedrick pinched her soft hands and looked into her eyes with a gentle gaze. Catelyn could not help but feel nervous. She looked at her casual loungewear and said, "Why didn't you inform me earlier? At least let me change into a pair of proper clothing. I am und
"It's not good to lie about this." Cedrick looked at her, amused. Catelyn blushed and reached her hand out to cover Cedrick's mouth."Stop! I am blushing…"Cedrick took the opportunity to peck a kiss in her palm. She instantly withdrew it, and then she heard his sexy voice in her ears. "This was to tell my mom that I am happy in the marriage. Soon we will have a baby girl, and she will be happy for us."Nonsense! It was all nonsense! Catelyn was speechless.She was doubtful. He already had his vasectomy. Where would they get a baby girl from?…On Friday, at the press conference. Catelyn invited many media reporters to witness the demolishment of the tower and also the quality inspection of the new property. Everyone was carefully treated at the scene. She even arranged a number of security guards to maintain order at the scene. However, after a long wait, only a few reporters turned up. They were the ones who were connected to the Worldwide Entertainment Co. and only tur
Quinn looked at the syringe that was filled with greenish liquid. She was trembling and did not take it. "I can actually just ask someone to get rid of my mother…""Mother? You only have one mother, and that is Summer Atherton!" Lola threw her a shady look and handed the syringe to her. "If Stella made a scene, we would be dead! Don't worry. I had it specially made. It would, at most, only get someone vegetative!""Vegetative?" Quinn's hand trembled again. "How different is that from a corpse?"Quinn was not brutal. She was thinking about how to push it back to Lola. Lola snickered, "Of course, it is different. A corpse can't breathe, and a person in a vegetative state still has a possibility of waking up. Think about it, Stella was a ticking time bomb. After you inject the medicine in her, I will arrange for her to be flown out of the country for a good rest. When Granny Atherton finally passes away, we can think of ways to wake Stella up again."Quinn decided to compartment
The initially unimpressed reporters were suddenly intrigued, and all looked in the direction of the commotion. Was Mister Atherton going to express support toward the VSA Group?Everyone rushed forward and crowded around Edwin.After Edwin and Joanne descended from the elongated business vehicle, a number of celebrities descended from it too, including award-winning actors, famous social media influencers, and some famous live-streaming platform personalities!Jolene did not even press the dial on her phone yet but was already too stunned to speak.Edwin's crowd was so glamorously dressed up, as though attending a red carpet show. They strode gracefully across the uneven ground full of potholes and arrived in front of Catelyn. They were holding themselves professionally like a public figure was expected to be, without showing a single sign of dissatisfaction with the scene's chaos.Joanne even winked at Catelyn joyfully, in secret.The phone buzzed in her hand. Catelyn slid acr
Before the reporters started their interviews, they all received a few photos simultaneously. The photos were shockingly promiscuous; one showed Lola and a mosaiced middle-aged man sleeping at a hotel together, and another was Louis with his associates seen snorting on some white powders together. Everyone was stunned. All of their questions immediately changed."Miss Atherton, you were seen at the hotel with this middle-aged man together. Is the man married? Are you a mistress?""Mister Joe, you have always portrayed a righteous image to the public. You were seen taking drugs with your friends… Is that true?""Pentaland Group hired both of you as their spokesperson. Do you feel guilty about taking up the role?""Regarding the highly controversial building safety issue, did you secretly work together with Pentaland Group to create the buzz around it? I understand that Pentaland is currently leading in terms of the sales rate…"The camera lights flashed incessantly. Lola and Lo
