Chapter 106
Catelyn did not expect Maia to be doused with that cup of hot water.
Nonetheless, amid the bodyguards panicking at the shift of events, Catelyn swiftly stepped at the feet of
one of the bodyguards. As he yelped in pain, she quickly went toward the door and fled.
However, the floor was unbelievably slippery. Catelyn slipped and knocked her head on the coffee table,
instantly opening up a tear on her head. “Get her!” Maia pointed at Catelyn angrily. Never before had she
wanted to hurt Catelyn so bad.
Catelyn ignored the bleeding wound on her head and made a run for it, all while blood trickled down her
forehead, blurring her vision a little.

As far as Maia was concerned, Catelyn was just a woman in bankruptcy, and she could do whatever she
wanted with her. Catelyn started picking up the pace when a bodyguard shouted, “Stop!” Why would
she?
Catelyn ran out of the large carved iron gate of the Mason Estate. Due to the loss of blood, she was not
aware of her surroundings, not knowing that Cedrick and Miles had just returned from their jog
Miles was out of breath as he ran, and Cedrick praised him for the exercise. In reality, however, it was
punishment for deceiving him.
Cedrick was taken aback the moment he saw Catelyn covering her forehead with one hand, with traces
of blood wetting her fingers.
Miles was even more shocked by this. However, he abruptly remembered that he was not wearing a
mask at the moment. He thus quickly took a towel to cover his face and ran away.
“What’s the matter?” asked Cedrick as he grabbed Catelyn, who was running forward.
Catelyn had not expected to meet the two of them. At the thought of Maia, she suddenly burst with
irreconcilable anger. “Why don’t you ask your girlfriend?!” she shouted at him.
Catelyn tried running away, but Cedrick had grabbed her wrist, and she could not break free. He pulled
down her hand that covered her forehead, revealing a long bloodstain line.
“What happened?” asked Cedrick, his tone cold and solemn.
Catelyn glared daggers at him, despite her reddened eyes. At this moment, the bodyguards who were
after her caught up, and they quickly bowed in unison the moment they saw Cedrick.

Cedrick.
Go back? Just so Maia would humiliate her again?
Catelyn lowered her head and bit the back of Cedrick’s hand. He quickly frowned in pain before he could
let go. “You have a fiancée, and fine, I deserve to be humiliated. So what if I’ve given birth to a child
before? Stay away from me!” she screamed. “I’ll deal with George, and only George, for work matters. I
don’t ever want to see you again!” Catelyn shoved Cedrick away from her before running off. He lowered
his eyes and looked at the blood in his palms. Oddly enough, he felt… inexplicably irritated. Cedrick did
not chase after her, nonetheless, but he glanced at the bodyguards instead, leaving them feeling nervous
on the spot.
He phoned his driver, Benny. “Catch up with Catelyn and take her to the hospital,” instructed Cedrick.
