Cedrick pushed the door open, and the door slammed against the wall behind it, creating a loud noise. Catelyn looked up in shock and saw Cedrick striding toward her. He stood in front of her and looked at her from above as though judging her. Catelyn pursed her lips, and her face started to blush. She wished to just disappear into thin air.Cedrick frowned and kneeled down. He had not expected Catelyn to have slipped and fell and reprimanded her, "Catelyn, how old are you? Why didn't you tell me as soon as you fell?"Catelyn did not know how to react and kept quiet.Cedrick was relieved to see no sign of blood flowing in reverse in the infusion tube. He then reached his big palm out toward Catelyn's waist."Where did you sprain yourself?""...I am not sure," Catelyn muttered.Cedrick moved his palm along Catelyn's back. "Here or here?""Stop! Stop! It hurts…" When he reached three inches above her butt, Catelyn could not resist but let out a soft whimper. She even felt like
Cedrick put the glass down and forcefully used his hand to prop Catelyn up. He forced her jaw open…"Mmm!" Catelyn felt the pain of her neck being stretched, and her mouth was forced open. Cedrick poured the water down her throat. "You…"Catelyn widened her eyes and glared at Cedrick, but he was busy feeding her the water. Catelyn gulped on the overflowing warm water and finally saw the bottom of the glass. Her stomach was now filled to the brim. She let out a soft cough.She said sarcastically, "So whenever Maia falls sick, is this how you feed her water?"Cedrick seemed satisfied that the water had been finished and turned on the nightlight. The room was now lit with a soft romantic light. He said, "She is not annoying like you."Catelyn was speechless.Annoying?If she were annoying, half the girls in this world would be considered dramatic!Catelyn silently threw a tantrum. She did not want to bicker with Cedrick anymore.Cedrick was too lazy to say anything more too
Louella kept quiet. If Lola got caught and went to jail, she could just give her some money so that she could still live comfortably in the jail. After all, she still hurt Jamie.However, what the two sisters did not expect was…Early in the morning, Jamie was still lying in the hospital when he received information that Catelyn had been locked up!Louella was there to send food to him when she saw him being mad."Jamie, what happened? The doctor reminded you to keep calm…" Louella came forward to hold his leg so that it did not fall from the skeletal traction. Jamie grabbed Louella by the wrist. "What did you and Lola do to Catelyn?"He looked violent. Louella then frowned in dissatisfaction. "Lola did this for our own good! Why are you so pissed? Are you still in love with Catelyn? Let me tell you, she is already in jail. Stop missing her!"Jamie was stunned, and he looked terrified. "Damn it, didn't I warn you about this? The person who hired someone to assault me was not
"I…""Get out!"Jamie howled at Louella, and his eyes were bloodshot. Louella shivered and ran out, feeling wronged. Tears streamed down her cheeks…Louella's family was in the construction business. In recent years, Lola won Granny Atherton's heart, so her father was quite favored too and was doing well in the industry. Louella got together with Jamie, and her father was now connected with the extended family of the Mason. He pulled in more investments and was planning to build a new factory.However, that morning, Mr. Atherton received a call from the counterparty, saying that they were pulling out of the deal.Mr. Atherton panicked and said, "Mr. Lewis, we came to a verbal agreement before this. How could you back out at the last minute even though we had not written it down?"Mr. Lewis' tone was different from his usual friendly one, and he snickered. "Mr. Atherton, even if we had signed the agreement, I will still back out from this deal! I will not support you even if it
Mr. Atherton saw the expression on his two daughters' faces and knew they must have screwed something up. He was even more displeased.However, he spoiled his girls as they grew up. He could not beat them but could only punish them in some other ways."From now on, your allowances will be cut by half until you both behave yourselves!" he said before leaving exasperated with his investment proposal, thinking of seeking another way to fund his project. Lola watched as her father disappeared into the hallway, and anger flashed through her gaze.Catelyn!"Lola, Jamie… told me about something at the hospital…"Louella quickly informed Lola about Jamie's reaction and had stopped crying over him. She was concerned and asked, "Could Catelyn really have hooked up with someone that we should not have offended?"Lola was irritated. She said sarcastically, "No way, she barely has any opportunity to hook up with someone from the upper class!""However, our father really lost the deal…" Lou
"Yes.""Miles, tell me, were you scared?""Yes." Ollie had thought about what to say beforehand and explained patiently, "However, I know that mummy would not be hurting anyone and would definitely not be a criminal. So I did not throw tantrums, had my meals, and slept on time. I listened to Nana. I knew you would not have the heart to leave me and will soon return to me."Catelyn's heart wrenched to hear this. The softest spot in her heart had been hit."Mummy, did I do anything wrong?" Ollie saw Catelyn go silent and deliberately asked. Catelyn blinked fast to blink away the tears in her eyes and pulled Ollie into her arms tightly. "No, you did everything correctly. You have grown so much. Mummy is proud of you."Ollie took a deep breath of Catelyn's scent and had unknowingly grown to be dependent on Catelyn. "Then could you hug me more?""Sure." Catelyn wished she could give him the whole world.Ollie's lips curved upward.Last night, he knew that he could not sneak out
Maia wanted to ask Cedrick out for a dinner date but was declined by Cedrick. As soon as she stepped out of the company, she called her mother. Her pretty little face looked a little cross."Mom, Cedrick refused to tell me who that woman was! He must have fallen for that girl!"Betty consoled her and said, "It's alright, it's just a girl. Given his social status, you should have expected him to have an affair."There were not many rich and loyal men in this world."I can't accept this!""Don't fret. You should not be anxious, especially under this circumstance. It was obvious that the woman could never be seen by the world. If you want to be Mrs. Mason, other than Cedrick, you need to get the Mason family's approval!"Maia hesitated. An idea popped in her head, and her lips curved slightly upward. "I know what to do now. I will buy some presents and visit Grandpa Mason and Aunt Janice later."The woman must not have her family background and beauty. Why was she shaken?Plus, Ce
"As I've said, you're no match for me!" harrumphed Terry, the corners of his lips twitching, revealing his yellow teeth. "Just give up and follow me; I can be your guardian. After all, you're just a woman with a child! How would you survive if you don't have anyone to rely on? To put it bluntly, this is all for your own good."Terry rubbed his chin. "I see you're wearing high stockings, too…" he muttered, staring at Catelyn as though she was stripped naked.Catelyn was so disgusted that she almost puked."You shameless man!" she snarled. "Don't even think about it. Fire me if you want; I'm going to quit anyway! I should've recorded this and exposed your ugly side to the public!"Terry instinctively narrowed his eyes the moment he heard Catelyn saying she should have recorded everything.Suddenly…Boom!The door to the office was pushed open, and Hannah came rushing in angrily. She grabbed the room card on the table and lifted the hem of Catelyn's clothes. "Look, everyone! This s
