Chapter 518
The next moment, Catelyn stretched out her hands and pushed him away fiercely. “Go away,” she spat with a
disgusted expression on her face.
Cedrick rammed against the counter as he was shoved back. He looked back at her blankly, but there was no anger
on his face.
“Aunt Jessie told me that Maia had been here,” he said. “Do you believe her when she told you that I’ve touched her
and let her have my child?”
“That’s your business.” Catelyn bit her lower lip stubbornly and continued to walk out.
Cedrick frowned slightly and chased after her irritatedly. “Catelyn, let me explain!”
Catelyn looked at him coldly. “Get out of the way.”
Cedrick’s expression faltered. He continued explaining to her while walking along her side, looking out for the stairs
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtahead to go down with her. However, Catelyn just got more aggressive.
Cedrick’s eyes darkened.
“I said I’ve never touched Maia! She’s lying, and the child in her womb is not mine! Don’t you believe me?”
“Why should I?” Catelyn looked at him mockingly.
She did not expect that the person who knocked her unconscious that night would be him all along. Those were the
moments when she tore open her wounds repeatedly, telling everyone how traumatized she was by that incident…
All that, and Cedrick said nothing!
His deep eyes narrowed. “What do you mean? What else did Maia tell you?”
Catelyn took a deep breath and calmed down. “Miles and Ollie are still waiting for me outside, and I don’t want to
fight with you. Instead of asking me what Maia said, please think about what you’ve done.”
With that, Catelyn walked away, despite bumping her shoulder against his.
This time, Cedrick did not chase after her anymore. The blue veins on his forehead protruded as he felt a burst of
anger surging in his chest, and his eyes turned icy cold.
At the entrance of the castle hall, Catelyn stood in the sunshine. There was a sense of emptiness in her heart.
She hated herself for being a coward at the moment. She should have slapped him and left with the two boys.
Humans truly were complex beings.
As he exited Mason Estate, Cedrick ordered Eason to locate Maia’s current whereabouts and went straight to a
certain six-star hotel.
Maia had just taken a shower, wearing a hair dryer cap and a set of loose silk pajamas. She hummed happily at the
thought of mentally preying on Catelyn, her love rival.
All of a sudden, the doorbell to the room rang.
Maia, thinking it was Richard who came to bring her dinner, did not bother to dress up nicely to get the door. Thus,
she impatiently opened the door…
She was greeted with the sight of a tall figure, looking furious with a livid expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaia was stunned, quickly regretting not dressing up properly earlier. “M-Master Cedrick?”
With a smile, she wanted to grab Cedrick’s arm, but the man’s eyes sharpened ruthlessly. He suddenly stretched
out his hand to grab Maia by the neck and pushed her against the wall.
“What did you say to Catelyn?” he demanded.
The action startled Maia as it knocked the wind out of her, suffocating her. “Let go… 1-I’m having y…your child!”
“Child?” Cedrick sneered mockingly, and the anger within him intensified. “You think I don’t know what happened
that night? Did you really think I’d let you have my child?”
Maia’s spine froze as she heard his words, and she looked at him incredulously. “You were drunk that night. You
hugged me and called out Catelyn’s name. We were literally in the throes of passion!” she adamantly retorted.
“Don’t think that you can j-just get rid of me like this… The baby in my womb…is yours!”
Cedrick threw her away with a flick of his hand. He shook and adjusted his suit. “There’s something | haven’t told
you. Do you wish to hear it?”
