Charles still wanted to persuade him, but Cedrick had already disappeared from sight. Helplessly he sighed and notified the Deputy CEO to preside over the meeting on Cedrick's behalf. Every time something related to Catelyn happened, Cedrick would stay calm. Even if the young masters made a fuss, he would never be that anxious.… Shoal Villa, as Joanne said, was huge, and there were a lot of rooms.Edwin seldom came home, and when he did, the purpose was to have sex with Joanne. That was why Edwin never came back once during Joanne's period.Although Joanne did not know what happened between Cedrick and Catelyn, she still cared for her in every possible way, took her to the bedroom, and prepared daily washing supplies for her.There was the sound of a car's engine being turned off downstairs. Joanne pricked up her ears. "Hey, is that Bad Guy Edwin?" Catelyn heard how Joanne made fun of Edwin by giving him such a funny nickname. Still, she could not find it funny as she just sat o
"She's a close friend of my wife. I have to care about my wife." In the guest bedroom upstairs, Catelyn overheard them arguing about her. She knew no matter how hard she tried to hide. They would still eventually meet one day. She needed to make him give up. So, she pushed open the door and went downstairs, standing at the entrance of the stairs, and stopped the two people who were arguing. "Stop it. I'm here." Following the source of the sound, Cedrick saw Catelyn. ...Under a plum tree whose branches were covered with pink buds in the courtyard of the Shoal Villa, there were withered leaves scattered on the ground. Cedrick grabbed her wrist and asked forcefully, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye? Take your things and come back with me!""Cedrick Mason, let's divorce." Catelyn tried very hard to pretend to be calm.There was a silence of a few seconds before Cedrick's eyes suddenly became gloomy. "Take your words back immediately. I can treat that as a joke!""I'm afraid
Hit-and-run, justice, and morality…That sentence provoked an outburst of anger from Cedrick instantly. His tone became aggressive, and he almost yelled at her, "You think I am the murderer before the police have concluded the case, don't you? Even if I may be the murderer, I didn't mean it. Do you want to divorce me just because of that?! Have you ever believed me?" It was ridiculous that he used to think they would be able to live happily ever after.Catelyn was so distressed that it felt like someone had stuck a needle in her heart. Her doubt about him was the result of the accumulation of countless coincidences and evidence, yet, she was still willing to believe him that it was an accident even if he was the driver.However, she could not explain to him, so making him misunderstand was the best solution of all. She choked up and nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes! She's too old to suffer. I would rather be the one who's lying on the bed. You can blame me, hate me, or do whateve
Especially when Cedrick was backing down for her just now…"Kitty, don't cry," comforted Joanne. She gave Catelyn a napkin and said, "Your eyes are all red. You know you can tell me anything, I will be here to listen, and I promise not to tell anyone."Catelyn took the napkin and wiped her tears. Before she could finish, her eyes were wet, and tears started flowing out again."Is there any wine?" mumbled Catelyn. She really wanted to cry, but she was really fed up with feeling this weak. She just wanted to get drunk at the moment. "Can you accompany me for a few drinks?""Yes, there's nothing but a lot of alcohol here. You can drink as much as you want!" said Joanne excitedly. She immediately ran to the wine cellar downstairs and took out a bottle of good wine that Edwin had kept.Catelyn popped open the cork and poured the wine into a transparent goblet.The scarlet liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach. She drank too quickly and ended up choking, feeling a burning se
Joanne knew Catelyn was just saying it to make herself feel better. Catelyn was drunk at the moment, but when she woke up sober the next day, she continued to think of a plan.She did not believe it was a dead end.Surely, there must be other ways.Before Catelyn was completely drunk, she reminded Joanne not to tell Cedrick, to which she agreed. Soon after, Catelyn fell into a deep sleep.Joanne shook her head and called her servant to help Catelyn to her bed to rest.After everything was settled, Joanne took off her shoes and crawled into her bed. At this moment, the room door was opened, and in came Edwin with his eyebrows raised.He could smell the strong, pungent smell of alcohol in the room and frown in disgust. Joanne turned her head and stared at him. "You… You! Who gave you permission to come in? This is the girl's room! Get out!"Edwin ordered his servant to take care of Catelyn. He then proceeded to drag Joanne and threw her back on the bed of the master bedroom."Ouc
Joanne covered her head in pain, kicked the bathroom door open with her feet angrily, and continued to walk in.The corners of Edwin's mouth twitched several times. He could not bear to look at Joanne directly like this.Why did he even choose such a girl like this to give him a child?Staring at the filth she vomited on the bed, Edwin called a servant to clean it up. He opened the windows for some ventilation and sprayed air fresheners around the bedroom.Joanne had her period for many days already, and it should be over now.However, Edwin was concerned about having intercourse with a drunk person. To get a healthy baby, the mother must be in tip-top condition at all times. As Edwin thought about this, he went to the shelf and took out a packet of condoms.After what felt like a long time, Joanne still had not come out. Edwin could see movements in the bathroom and called out to her, "Joanne! What's taking you so long? Come out quick!"No answer.Did she fall asleep inside?
Cedrick returned to the Mason Group after leaving Shoal Villa.It was late at night, but the video conference with Euro had not yet officially started.He directly informed Charles that there was no need to postpone it. At the end of the video conference, both parties had confirmed the business cooperation, and all they needed to do now was to wait for the follow-up details."Master Cedrick, it's a pleasure to have the chance to do business with you," said the other party in the video.Cedrick replied expressionlessly, "I'm looking forward to it too." Then cut off the communication.He rubbed his temples with his long fingers. On the way back, he thought that something was wrong. If Catelyn really cared that he had hit Stella with his car, she should have shown up immediately in the morning, not a day later.What happened during the moment when her bodyguard lost her?The chill in Cedrick's eyes flashed away, and he called the bodyguard again. "Go and investigate the moments aft
What happened? Why did Catelyn leave?Why did she stubbornly refuse to tell Cedrick anything?...The next day, the maid woke the two boys up gently.They had so much fun yesterday. They both were still a little tired and could not keep their eyes open. Miles yawned coquettishly. He tucked himself into the blanket and said to the maid, "Please let me sleep for a little while."The maid said sheepishly, "Breakfast is ready. Master Cedrick said that he would send you to school after your meal."Although Ollie's eyelids were also struggling to open, he knew he had to wake up.He sat up first and pushed Miles' arm. "Get up. You're going to be late for school.""Five minutes." Miles drooped his eyelids and said lazily, "The Big Demon can go first. Just ask Mummy to take us to school."The maid suddenly flashed her eyelashes in a guilty conscience.How should she tell the boys that Catelyn was not around anymore and Cedrick was the only one left?The maid hesitated, not knowing ho
