Chapter 516
“Oh, I’m sorry. How clumsy of me!” exclaimed Maia.
“Aunt Jessie!” gasped Catelyn. It was only her first day, but she was already cordial with Aunt Jessie.
Catelyn carefully wiped Aunt Jessie’s hand while helping her up. She glared at Maia. “You better apologize to Aunt
Jessie. Otherwise, I’ll have security send you out!”
“Send me out? How rude!” Maia put her teacup away and stood up to Catelyn.
She supported her lower back with one hand, and her belly even protruded as she did. “I already have Master
Cedrick’s child. It’s two months old, yet you asked Aunt Jessie to make me tea. Don’t you ever consider if it’ll affect
my child’s development?”
Like thunder clapping in her ears, Catelyn looked at Maia’s belly in disbelief, and her gaze slowly moved up to look
at Maia’s proud face.

Catelyn’s heart was instantly cold, and her knees felt weak.
She never understood why Ollie suddenly became so disappointed in Cedrick, even deciding to leave him and follow
her instead.
Had he…seen the images of Cedrick and Maia together? He was so young, yet he had already seen such filthy
things!
“You’re shameless!” hissed Catelyn.
“You’re no better!” cackled Maia. “Aren’t you happy when you rob someone else’s husband? So what if Master
Cedrick didn’t attend the City Center signing event so he could come to Franche for you? At the end of the day, I’m
carrying his child, and the child’s right is no longer only yours anymore. It’s mine as well!”
Catelyn’s eardrums exploded as countless fireworks were set off. She staggered and took a few steps back.
She stared at Maia coldly. “What did you say?”
“I said that I can also use the child as a bargaining chip, Catelyn,” said Maia. “You can’t compete with me.”
“The other half, I mean. What did you say?” repeated Catelyn,
Cedrick did not attend the signing event of Project Castle in the City but came to Franche instead?
Was he the person that night, the one who dragged her to the small dark room and sent her home the next day?
Looking at this long-standing Franch castle, she suddenly understood why everything felt eerily familiar.
This was the little black house from that night!
Maia, meanwhile, was baffled by Catelyn’s words and behavior. She looked at her with a foolish expression and
shook her long wavy hair before leaving.
Catelyn clenched her fists. Her heart felt as though it was submerged in freezing water, and it felt as though she
had fallen into the abyss.
Aunt Jessie tried to comfort her, “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine.” Catelyn forced a smile and stared at the ring on her finger.

there’s some misunderstanding with Miss Maia.”
Catelyn could no longer listen,
She did not care that Maia had a child, but she was more affected by the fact that the man that night was actually
Cedrick!
Taking a deep breath, Catelyn barely maintained her calm exposure. “Please don’t tell the two boys about Maia’s
visit.”
After all, she did not want any troubles happening back at Sapphire City to bother Miles and Ollie.
Although Aunt Jessie was puzzled. She was just a housekeeper, after all. Knowing that Catelyn would not harm the
two boys, she merely responded to Catelyn in an affirmative manner…and secretly called Cedrick.
