Chapter 45
‘The designer of a mansion? Catelyn didn’t even graduate from college! How can she be a designer?’
Jamie thought.
“What kind of joke is that?” He struggled to believe in Cedrick’s words.
Without sparing him a second glance, Cedrick coldly commanded, “Eason, call the police. Since
someone in the Mason Family doesn’t know what it means to be a decent human being, I should teach
him a lesson on what is expected of him when he’s a Mason.”
SO
Eason verbally responded to this command as he then reached for his phone.
Jamie spat viciously and crawled up from the ground. His wedding with Louella was around the corner,
and he could not afford to be seen getting arrested over another woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe gave Cedrick a bow of respect. “Alright, Uncle, I admit my deplorable behavior, and I am sorry for it.
“However, don’t forget that your fiancee is the lady of the Clark Family, Maia Clark. Catelyn here is not
worthy of your attention!”
With that, he left frantically with his bodyguards, all of them suffering from fractured bones.
Cedrick’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he gave Eason a sidelong glance. “I want to see the
news that Jamie Mason is in the hospital by tomorrow.”
Eason dutifully understood.
Cedrick glanced at Catelyn, who had lost consciousness as she leaned against the wall, unable to
sustain herself. His brows twitched, and after contemplating for a moment, he walked toward her and
lifted her into his arms.
Her body was soft and pliant as though there was not a bone in her.
Eason noticed Cedrick’s struggle and immediately approached him, intending to take
Catelyn off his arms. “Seems like Miss Clark has had too much to drink. Here, let me…
“No need.” Cedrick moved away from Eason.
Eason’s eyes widened in disbelief. ‘Is Master Cedrick carrying Catelyn? I thought he was only willing to
touch Maia! Goodness. Is fire going to rain from the skies now?’
The top floor had long been emptied at this point as Cedrick carried Catelyn into the elevator until they
reached the first floor.
Behind them, Eason kept making faces at Charles in confusion.
Charles lowered his voice and stared at Eason like he was a fool. “You were in that room for quite some
time. Didn’t you catch a whiff of any scent?”
“Scent?” Eason thought about it. “The scent of liquor? Cigarettes?”
Charles rolled his eyes. “Think harder.”
“The scent of gardenias!” Eason finally came to a realization. “I was wondering why the door was

and Miss Clark…”
“Shhh! I didn’t say anything.” Charles looked at the sky, pretending he was clueless as to what had
happened.
Eason grinned mischievously and ran to catch up with Cedrick.
In the outdoor parking lot on the first floor, Catelyn leaned against Cedrick’s chest. Because of all the
alcohol she consumed and being slapped by Jamie, she was seeing stars and felt utterly nauseous.
Through her blurry vision, she saw Cedrick’s face-which resembled Miles-and stretched out her arms to
wrap them around Cedrick’s neck, holding him in place.
“Darling, why do you have two heads?” She widened her eyes, and as the dim light of the roads shone
upon her flushed face, her skin glowed despite the palm print on her cheeks.
Cedrick gaped at being called ‘darling’, and his ears turned a faint shade of red.
He glared at the woman who clung onto him in frustration; Catelyn twisted in discomfort and the jacket
on her shoulders slid down. Cedrick’s gaze slowly drifted downward.
