Chapter 507
When it was time to get off work, Catelyn packed up
William had already fired Ivan and Amy and changed the way he treated Catelyn since then.
He came to offer her a ride back home. Still, Catelyn entered a lift with a perfunctory smile.
All of a sudden, her phone rang. The screen displayed a series of numbers she did not recognize.
“Hello, is this Miss Clark?” rang an old lady’s voice that carried vicissitude.
“Yes, and you are?” Catelyn held the phone in one hand and clocked out with another to get off work.
“I’m George’s mother. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“George’s mother?’
Catelyn had not seen George for a long time. The last time they met was at the resort, but she deliberately avoided
him at that time.

“George has been a good boy since he was a child.
“His father and I had run a timber factory before this. Although we’re not wealthy, we’re not below average at all.
However, not long ago, someone reported our factory, and that caused the suspension of production and
compensation. George also lost his job because of that. He has been drinking heavily for quite a while. One day, he
spilled the beans after drinking, and now we know it was all because of you!”
Catelyn’s grip on the phone suddenly tightened as she stiffly stood in the hall.
“I’ve never been a snob. I know you were once George’s boss’s wife and you have two kids, so that’s why I’m
calling you today, begging you to stop troubling George!
“Miss Clark, are you still listening?” George’s mother asked eagerly.
“I’m still here,” Catelyn hurriedly responded.
Catelyn finally figured out why Cedrick was so inattentive when she told him that her engagement to George was
canceled.
It turned out that he had already rigged George’s family business to ruin their engagement!
He knew very well that their marriage could never happen.
“I’m sorry for causing trouble to you and George, Missus Graham. I’ll get this sorted out.”
It was five o’clock sharp and Cedrick had been waiting in this car in front of VSA Group’s building. A huge rose
bouquet was placed in the passenger seat, and the faint fragrance of the flowers hung in the air.
He had texted Catelyn and asked for her address, to which Catelyn replied soon after.
With the address Catelyn gave him, Cedrick successfully found Catelyn at the corner of the street.
Seeing what she was wearing, he frowned slightly.
Since Catelyn was going to work today, she wore very ordinary business attire.
However, he loosened the tense expression he had and stopped the car on the side of the road.
Catelyn was in a daze when Cedrick lowered his car’s window. She then spotted the large bouquet of roses, and

The water droplets on the roses enhanced the delicacy and charm of the roses.
“That’s for me?” she blurted in surprise.
“I happened to pass by a flower shop on the way, so I bought it. Do you like it?”
“No woman in the world can resist the charm of red roses. Of course I like it.”
Catelyn calmly sat in the car and placed the red roses in the back seat. It was inconvenient to hold it like this.
She subconsciously glanced at the back seat while putting the rose bouquet, but she noticed that both Miles and
Ollie were not there.
Cedrick told her to fasten her seatbelt, and from the corner of his eyes, he occasionally took a peek at Catelyn. She
put the red roses on the back seat so casually that she did not even smell the bouquet.
