Chapter 54
“Catelyn didn’t ask anyone to beat me up; it was the man she’s cheating on me with who ambushed me,”
said Jamie with a sunken face as he sat up on the bed, frustrated, and his face covered with injuries was
scrunched.
That night, he left the clubhouse with two bodyguards. He originally wanted to take care of his head
injury, but he was shoved into the bushes the moment he stepped onto the sidewalk.
Those men were fearless enough that they did not even bother covering up their faces. They literally
went ham on him and beat him up, not forgetting to sneer at him before they left, reminding him to
remember his place!
Who else could that be? It was Cedrick’s doing!
“No matter who it was, we should never let it go so easily!” said Queenie.
However, Jamie did not wish to pursue it any further. It was humiliating enough that he was punished by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedrick, and he would never be as powerful as him. Jamie only said that because he wanted to save his
dignity in front of his little sister.
“This is the end of it. Stop looking into this.”
“Why not?” huffed Queenie, overwhelmed with emotions. “You’re hurt, Jamie, and you have the right to
sue Catelyn! Don’t tell me you sympathized with the kid.”
“What nonsense are you spewing?” Jamie growled, his leg that was hung mid-air shaking as if it would
fall from the harness.
Their mother pulled Queenie back and stopped her from saying anything else.
Queenie gritted her teeth, swearing that she would not let Catelyn go unpunished.
“Achoo!” sneezed Catelyn just as she finished her lunch.
Anne was having a discussion with Catelyn about a design draft at that moment. She immediately raised
the folder to block her face before retrieving a sheet of tissue paper from the desk and passing it to
Catelyn.
“You don’t look too good. Did you get a cold?” “A little.” Catelyn blew her nose, the tip of her nose red
and her voice nasally.
She found her having a sore throat since she left the hotel that night, and it was followed by a blocked
nose.
Anne patted her shoulder and said, “Don’t overwork yourself; just do what you can! It hurts me to see
you in this state.”
“I know.” Catelyn looked at Anne gratefully and returned to work right after. They finished up another
draft for a small house and went straight to Ollie’s mansion.
The sky was dark and gloomy at that point, as if it was going to pour anytime soon.
As soon as Catelyn arrived at the mansion, rain fell from the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Catelyn instantly thought of Miles, remembering that the sound of thunder was one of the things he was
most afraid of.
Catelyn was about to call Stella when she spotted from her peripheral vision a small figure hunched into

Though the boy’s back was facing her, she could see he was wearing a charming black little vest with
some alphabets printed on the back, and a dark-colored hat that sat slanted on his head. It was an
adorable sight.

Even though Catelyn could not see his face, the way he sat reminded her of her son. “Baby?” Catelyn
held the phone in her hand tightly and called out to him. It seemed like the little guy did not hear him as
he did not turn his head around. Catelyn frowned lightly and walked toward the boy, who seemed to be in
deep contemplation. Catelyn reached her hand out, her fingers landing on the boy’s shoulder “What are
you doing?” came a voice from behind her interrogatively.
