Miles landed steadily on his feet after the kick, his hands resting on his hips as he stood cooly. He lifted his little nose with one hand, yearning for praise and appreciation for his stunt. "Aunty Catelyn, this old pervert is so hard-headed! My foot is hurting now… I want another hug."Catelyn was stunned at this before she quickly bent over and hugged him."Don't attempt stuff like that ever again," she reprimanded him as she tapped him on the forehead. "What if you slip? You'll hurt yourself!"Miles threw himself into Catelyn's arms arrogantly, stomping his feet lightly. "I'm a hero, you know? I won't get hurt!"Terry was about to explode at this point. His face scrunched uglily in rage, but Eason held him back, rendering him unable to move."You little brat!" yelled Terry. "Who are you—"Slam!Eason grabbed Terry's head and slammed it against the floor, causing him to bleed instantly."You dare humiliate the young master of the Mason family?" snarled Eason.What? The youn
"What are you doing, Terry? Stop this at once!" snapped Lola.The woman seemed full of herself as a cold aura seeped out of her in her intimidating presence, leaving the people around her shivering in fear.Terry quickly stopped circling. He felt so dizzy that he lay on the floor with his feet up in the air. Everyone else in the office struggled to hold in their laughter at the sight, but they managed nonetheless.Lola looked at Catelyn, then at the boy in her arms. "I don't care who you are, little boy. This is my family's company. Leave now, or you'll be sorry," she warned.Lola paused for a moment before turning to Catelyn, rebuking her, "The nerve you have. Hand in your resignation yourself; BrightGene Group doesn't need an employee like you!"Catelyn had long expected that Lola would not just sit around and do nothing. After stirring up such a commotion on this day, Catelyn knew she would not last any longer in the company.Thus, she took off the employee card and threw it o
"You dare talk back to me?" retorted Cedrick, his tone cold as he did.Miles quickly hid in Catelyn's arms.Lola's complexion suddenly changed when she saw both of them getting along. "Is…he your son?" she asked."No, that's Impossible," Lola murmured before Cedrick could even answer. Her denial came once more as she spoke, "This boy is the young master of the Mason family. If you're his father, that means you're—""M—Master Cedrick of the Mason Family!" stammered Terry, who was paralyzed on the ground, trembling as he did. His whole body felt so drained, he was close to fainting.Cedrick must have heard how he called the boy a brat!Lola looked at Catelyn inquiringly, wanting to hear the denial from her mouth...but Catelyn just looked back at her like an idiot."How is that possible? You must be lying!" scoffed Lola, unable to believe that the man in front of her was Cedrick."You're not Cedrick, you can't be! You're just an actor Catelyn brought here to support her lies!" she
"Lola, who'd pretend to be Cedrick? He's got guts, I'll give him that! Whoever he is, he's not getting away!"Wayne Mason happened to be visiting his cousin, Jamie in the hospital. The moment he was told that someone was pretending to be Cedrick, he quickly drove over in his BMD.Lola immediately greeted him with a smile upon his arrival. "Wayne, you're just in time. Everyone in Sapphire City knows that Cedrick of the Mason family only favors Maia, but this Catelyn had the guts to get someone to pretend to be him and abuse his power. You must stop her!""That's natural." Wayne looked at Lola smugly. He raised his head and looked at the people around him. "Who'd be so bold to do this? I'm going to give him hell!""Me," came an apathetic response.Wayne did not turn to look as he heard the response.That voice sounded awfully familiar.As soon as he turned, Wayne saw Cedrick holding a small cupcake in his hand, looking back at him in a relaxed manner. The man coolly added, "I hear
"I'm sorry, Miss Clark!" pleaded Lola as she solemnly bowed to Catelyn.Catelyn refused to let such a rare opportunity go to waste; not when she could be high and mighty. "Your apology is so insincere," she sneered."Wh—What do you want, then?""Don't you like asking people to kneel?" Miles, who was acting as Ollie, stretched his neck and raised his lips coolly. "If you want to apologize, you have to kneel."Lola wanted nothing more than to kill Catelyn at this moment.All her life, she had never kneeled before anyone, not even to her own father.She shut her watery eyes and looked at Cedrick pitifully, hoping she would be relieved. "Please," she whimpered, "I know I'm at fault, Master Cedrick."Cedrick felt disgusted at the thought that this despicable woman had feelings for him."Ollie had asked you to kneel, didn't you hear him?" he sneered, his tone colder than Catelyn's.Lola was stunned at this. Cedrick did not feel any pity for her at all!Before she could say anything
Although Miles had accepted Ollie's proposal to swap identities, it did not mean he accepted Cedrick. He still held a grudge against the man for locking him up in a room.Cedrick's brows twitched as he scanned the child's face before saying in a cold voice, "You've always been a picky eater, so your food has been prepared specifically by the chef Albert hired. Will you be able to eat the food that I don't like?"Miles clung to Catelyn's leg as his jewel-like eyes glimmered. "A man who lacks emotions like you will never understand that food tastes better in the company of a pretty woman."It was the first time ever that Cedrick was rendered speechless by his son, and he wondered whether his son truly knew the meaning of what he had just said."Alright, stop it, both of you." Catelyn did not wish to see the two arguing over a meal and squatted to look Miles in the eye. "Ollie, didn't your dad help us just now?"Although he was reluctant to admit it, Miles nodded before arguing weakl
Despite that, 'Ollie' refused to remove his mask and held onto it instead. "I have pimples on my face, so I don't look handsome right now. I can't show my face to Aunty Catelyn, or it's going to destroy my perfect impression on her.""I know you're a handsome little guy just looking at your dad. It won't affect your impression of me. How are you going to eat with your mask on?" Catelyn tried to convince him, but 'Ollie', who was often quite obedient, protested and ran to hide before Cedrick with his plate in his hands.He sat and batted his eyelashes. "I'm still not showing you."If his lies were exposed, Miles knew it would not end well for him. He had kicked Terry and called Cedrick names, after all, and he would suffer for these if they realized that he was not Ollie.Most importantly, he had not been to school for days, and Ollie was the one going in his place; his mother would surely be furious if she found out. She might even send him off to a boarding school, so he had to co
Catelyn then scooped another spoonful of stew onto Cedrick's plate. Seeing the way he responded, he must have liked this dish.Cedrick devoured the stew expressionlessly and said, "I had an important phone call that morning.""I get it—you're a busy man. You don't have to explain anything to me."Frankly, I still owe you the hospital bills." Perhaps it was because there was a child in the same room, but Catelyn did not feel as awkward and chatted casually with Cedrick.Cedrick's expression darkened and thought, 'She 'gets it'? What exactly does she mean? I didn't even leave the hospital that day; she was the one who ran off without saying a thing!'Catelyn sensed the shift in Cedrick's emotion in silence and thought back to all the words she had said, but she could not think of a second where she crossed the line. In the end, she decided to avoid talking to Cedrick altogether and focused on 'Ollie' instead. "Ollie, my son is around the same age as you are. He has the same taste to
