Chapter 598
Cedrick's expression darkened at her silence. "I'll have my men prepare a public statement so that everyone knows
you're the mother of my children..."
"No!" She tightened her arms around his waist. "Ced."
The dark expression on his face was instantly replaced by a beaming smile as he felt as though a hole in his chest
had been filled. Clasping his hand at the back of her head, he took her lips forcefully.
Catelyn whimpered and widened her eyes, but she could not push him away.
Her lips were swollen by the time they parted, and Cedrick let go of her reluctantly. "If you really don't want others

Her head snapped up. "E—Elope?"
"It's decided then. Go have your passport ready. We're going to get our marriage certificate once the lawyer has
everything set up."
Her lips felt numb as she felt light-headed. "Hang on. We don't have to hurry!"
"You don't want to?" He glared at her darkly.
Catelyn twitched at his intimidating presence and smiled sheepishly. "Of course I want to! It's an honor to marry
you! So long as it doesn't affect my career, I'm more than happy to..."
Catelyn did not have the courage to further provoke him as she was worried that he would publicize her relationship
with the twins. Cedrick was already in a bad place with Elder Mason, and she did not wish for the conflict between
them to worsen.
'Elope it is, then,' she sighed. 'It'll give my children a place of their own in this family while I get to chase my dream.
It's not that bad.'
Maia and Richard stayed in the police station for three days. Richard had admitted to all the crimes, and with the
help of the Clark family, Maia was snuck out of the police station.
To her bewilderment, the worst had yet to come.
She had lost a lot of weight after spending three days in lockup, and because of what she did, the reputation of the
Clark family was completely ruined. People online even started feeds to condemn the family's crimes.
Though Maia's parents were furious, they still cared for their only daughter and intended to send her overseas
before the Mason family realized she had disappeared from the police station. Nonetheless, Maia refused to leave.

"No way! I'm not leaving! Catelyn Clark is the reason why I have to suffer so much. I won't rest until she pays!" She
stormed back into her room to set up a prize of one billion for Catelyn's head, only to find out that her bank account
had been frozen by her parents.
Maia tried to sell all her jewelry pieces, but the people out there took advantage of her situation and offered a
horrendously low price for jewelry pieces she had spent a fortune on.
The price she was offered was a blunt insult to her, and she decided against selling them.
Amid her tempestuous rage, a person's face came into her mind. Jamie Mason.
