Chapter 64 “Yes, I saw it, too! There were even photos of them.” “Men are all the same; they like to
cheat.” “I heard that Cedrick Mason is very handsome, almost idol-like. If only he had eyes for me, I’d
probably have no regrets in this life!” Catelyn, already unwell at that moment, ignored the gossip.
However, Anne saw Catelyn arriving and teased, “Catelyn, you’re here. You were at the Masons
‘mansion yesterday, no? Did you see the new girl there?” ‘New…girl? Catelyn looked at the newspaper
Anne showed her, and she felt her entire body freeze. The photo was taken when Catelyn went back to
her room. She had tripped and fallen into Cedrick’s arms. The angle and weather conditions made the
photo rather blurry, so their faces could not be seen clearly.

it, the girl looks almost your size!” Anne laughed.
Catelyn immediately shook her head and commented, “You’re just exaggerating things, Anne. Do you
think a small, wallflower staff like me could have the honor to meet Cedrick’s lover?”
“She’s right, Anne. You thought too highly of Catelyn,” said one of their coworkers.
“I was just kidding! You guys took my word literally, geez.”
“Well, the joke got me pretty shocked,” replied Catelyn. Regardless of how the photo got leaked, she
would not let Cedrick affect her private life.
She contacted George afterward, saying that she was not available to watch over the progress at the site
over the next few days. George understood where she came from and offered to help her keep track of
their work, allowing her to settle her matters in peace

she would stay away from him.
Little did she expect, however…
That afternoon, she went to a nearby cafe with Anne to meet a client. Only seconds after they had sat
down, a police car pulled over, and out came a few policemen.
They walked right up to Catelyn. “Miss Catelyn Clark, I am Sergeant Lewis from the police station. Are
you an acquaintance of Jamie Mason?”
Catelyn had so many questions on her mind at this, though she nodded, still. “Yes, I am.”
Clack! Steel handcuffs were locked around her wrists, much to her horror. “What are you doing?”
demanded Catelyn. “You’re suspected of hiring people to assault Jamie Mason, who is now in the
hospital. Please follow us to the station to provide a statement.” The police impatiently wanted to shove
Catelyn into the police car.
“Wait a minute!” Anne followed after them and defended Catelyn in reflex, “Sir, I’m her superior, and I’m
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsure this is a whole misunderstanding. Catelyn will never hire someone to assault people. I can vouch for
her!”
Catelyn was touched. She never expected Anne to support her under such circumstances. Sergeant
Lewis, however, was indifferent. He merely glanced at Anne and firmly replied,” We’ll investigate the
matter and decide if there was a misunderstanding. We’ll invite you to the police station too if you
continue to obstruct our duty.” Anne fell silent at this, helpless as she could only watch Catelyn being
taken away.
