Cedrick was baffled by their findings.He asked the police officer, "Are you sure the footage is real?""We've made a thorough check, and there is no trace of editing," said the officer, as to be fair. "In addition, we also need to detain the car at the door, analyze your driving record, and arrange for a specialist to do the appraisal."Cedrick frowned deeply. A complex look flashed across his eyes."I'm going out to make a phone call," he said.The officer immediately stood up. "Do you want me to arrange for someone to accompany you?"Cedrick shot him with a sharp cold glance. "Why? Am I already the murderer before the examination's results come out?""Well, I…" The officer was flustered at this, not knowing how to answer."Officer, the victim was my mother. I believe Cedrick won't try to escape, or he wouldn't even take the initiative to file a case today, would he now?" Catelyn tried to ease the tension in the atmosphere.The officer waved his hand, indicating that Cedrick
Uncle Ford took numerous turns into various alleys, probably to shake off the bodyguard who followed after Catelyn. Eventually, they arrived at a tea house with a quiet environment on the corner of a street.Grandpa Mason was in the private room on the top floor, standing by the window with one hand on the railing, looking out into the distance.The tea house was elegantly decorated as there were elegantly carved handicrafts on the shelves, and the whole house was filled with a faint tea fragrance.After Uncle Ford announced to Granda Mason that the 'guest' was here, he slowly turned.Sporting a black coat, his face was etched with sternness as his eyes gleamed coldly. "Ceddy has you well-guarded, it seems. I had to get rid of his people before I got to meet you.""If you have something to say, please get straight to it." Catelyn was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm. A faint glint could be seen in her eyes.Draco stepped back to the table with a stern expression. "I've remin
"Leave Ceddy, and give up custody of the children. I'll let you reunite with your father," said Draco coldly.Catelyn's heart skipped a beat. She picked up the photos and responded in the same cold tone, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Cedrick about this? If you threaten me with my father, what kind of elder are you?""If you're interested in finding that out, go ahead and tell him. I'm also curious to know how Ceddy has grown over these years, or there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle?" Draco was deeply disinterested, and his expression was even more indifferent. "There are so many prisons in the world. How long do you think he'll take to check all the jails?"Catelyn clenched her fists. "Despicable!""Despicable or shameless; call me whatever you like. I'm Ceddy's grandfather, so I have to think about him. If you continue to be involved with Ceddy, the next photo you see will be Ezekiel's posthumous photo."Blood surged throughout Catelyn's veins, and her shoulders t
Uncle Ford did not say what would happen otherwise, but Catelyn understood.It turned out that Elder Mason not only planned to use her father to threaten her but also planned to get rid of her together if necessary.She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that her father would be hurt. She lost her biological mother when she was a child, and though Stella took care of her, she could not give her the maternal love she wanted most. It had always been her father who supported and encouraged her by her side.Four years ago, her father had an accident, and that placed her in great suffering. Today, she finally had a little bit of hope, knowing that her father was not dead. Still, she could not give up her love and two children.'Happiness is only one step away, but why can't I get it?' she lamented.…After Cedrick had dealt with the traffic brigade, he came to the hospital to pick up Catelyn, only to find that she was not in the hospital at all. When he called the company, Jo
Cedrick enjoyed Catelyn's docility as his palm quietly slipped up along the hem of her clothes. His slender fingers fell to the buttons of her coat, and his thin lips were close to her ear. "This kind of man isn't worth it. She should divorce him as soon as possible."Catelyn did not notice that his hands were starting to undress her and instead continued, "What if my classmate and her husband have a child?""If she hasn't given birth to the child yet, kill it. The child will only trouble her and be a weak spot for her. Your classmate would be tied up to the child, and she'll never be able to get away from that for the rest of her life."Cedrick was right. If she did not agree with Elder Mason earlier that day, he would hurt her father and even threaten her with Miles the next day. After all, Elder Mason always looked down on her, what more her baby, Miles."Isn't there a better answer?" rasped Catelyn as though asking Cedrick and herself.He suddenly licked her earlobe, stretched
Miles and Ollie were excitedly unboxing their newly bought toys."Would you like to change into your new outfit? You'll be very handsome." Catelyn, having brought two sets of small red coats, gazed at the boys' innocent expression with a frail heart."Okay!" answered the boys in unison as they got into the fitting room.The mirror in the fitting room reflected Catelyn's pale face. She thus took out her lipstick from her purse and put on makeup for herself. She then gently patted her cheeks, making herself look livelier, as she sported a grin.The boys then came out of the fitting room. Miles would probably make a gifted athlete as he suddenly jumped over, hugged Catelyn's legs, and hung on her to act like a spoiled child. "Mommy is the best in the world! I love the new clothes you bought for us today. Are we celebrating something?"Ollie pursed his lips shyly. Both sets of new clothes were red with green stripes, which were festive colors only worn during Christmas. The shop assis
Catelyn took Miles and Ollie to eat their favorite dishes. Miles liked spicy food, and Ollie liked light food. Catelyn had been driving tirelessly from one place to another to take the two little guys to have the most fun. Shortly afterward, the two little kids were so tired that they leaned against her arms and fell asleep.They were carefree, like angels sent by God."Miles? Ollie?" Catelyn whispered softly in their ears. Miles was too tired to play anymore and slept very deeply. Catelyn did not want to wake them up, so she took out a blanket to cover them. Ollie was awakened by the slight movement, so he looked at Catelyn in a daze. "Huh?""Tell Mummy, do you have any wish? Mummy will help you make it come true," said Catelyn with her head bowed, and tears fell out again in disobedience.Fortunately, Ollie squinted his eyes coincidently and did not catch that. He muttered, "I want Daddy, Mummy, Miles, and me, the four of us, to be together forever." After saying that, the little
Catelyn sent a message to Joanne in advance, telling her that she would make a visit to her house for a while.For two reasons Catelyn made the visit. Joanne had a good relationship with her, so she was the best candidate when she needed someone to confide in. Besides, Joanne was now living in Shoal Villa, which was owned by Edwin. For the sake of Cedrick's relationship with Edwin, he would not do anything silly or irrational.Knowing that Catelyn was coming, Joanne deliberately waited for her outside the villa. When she saw her getting off the taxi with luggage, she was flabbergasted. "Cat, did you quarrel with Master Cedrick? Why are you here alone?" She hurried to take over the luggage. Fortunately, it was not heavy.Catelyn smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. I might divorce Cedrick…" "Divorce?!" Joanne's pitch suddenly rose several degrees and she laughed. "Haha, today isn't April Fool's Day, so stop teasing me! You and Master Cedrick are such a lovely couple, plu
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
