Chapter 542
"Wakey, wakey." Scarface crouched to stare at Catelyn as though he was looking at a dead person.
Catelyn's shoulders trembled in fear as she stuttered, "Who... Who are you people? I'm just an ordinary office
lady! You've got the wrong person if you want money!"
Scarface sneered and grabbed a fistful of her hair before shoving a phone to her face. "Quit playing around!
Call Cedrick Mason now and tell him that if he wants you safe and sound, he's going to donate all his assets
to charity in public."
Catelyn's scalp burned as though it was being ripped off of her head. However, she smiled bitterly through
the pain and said, "So this is all because of Cedrick Mason? He won't possibly donate all his money for my
sake. You've really gotten the wrong person..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Go," Scarface commanded another obscene-looking man.
The man grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and rubbed his hands while his eyes glittered with lust. "Alright.
I was just concerned that you wouldn't approve, Brother..."
In the next moment, Catelyn's trousers were torn to reveal her thigh. She frantically tried to cover her skin,
her hair standing on end as she screamed, "Don't get any closer! If you touch me, I'm going to bite off my
own tongue and die right here!"
Scarface kicked at her right knee. "Keep being stubborn."
The sharp head of the leather shoe knocked into her knee, and she immediately lost all her strength and started
sweating. It took
everything she had to not roll on the floor in pain.
Scarface tossed the phone at her arrogantly and said, "Why don't you just make the call and save yourself from
suffering?"
Catelyn hugged onto her knee and reached one trembling hand for the phone.
Cedrick could be furious that she was not at the airport at the moment, so he would not possibly agree to give up
his wealth for her sake.
However, if she refused to call, she would certainly die.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The number was dialed, and her heart raced as she waited for the call to be connected.
Would he come to her rescue?
What would he choose between his wealth and her?
"Who is this?" Just then, someone came to the phone.
Catelyn subconsciously reached up to cover her mouth. The sound of Cedrick's familiar voice left her choking on

On the other end, Cedrick received a call from an unknown number. Though time was running short, he
answered the call out of concern that he might miss Catelyn's call.
Silence lingered and he felt as though a hand had gripped his heart. "Catelyn?" he asked gingerly.
Feeling a lump in her throat, she realized that she wanted to hear his voice despite all the resentment and
doubt in their history. She
suppressed her fear and nodded. "It's me. I'm..." She stuttered again as soon as she started speaking and
she hated herself for it.
Gone was Cedrick's usual dominating demeanor and he became extremely gentle in his tone. "Don't be
afraid. I already know someone has kidnapped you and that you're calling me because the kidnapper asked
you to. What do they want me to do? You can tell me..."
His husky voice seemingly got to her and slowly soothed her wary heart.
Her eyes reddened, and she took a deep breath before glancing at the ferocious kidnappers. "They want you
to donate all your money, or they'll kill me."
The other side of the line fell into silence.
