    Chapter 45


    ‘The designer of a mansion? Catelyn didn’t even graduate from college! How can she be a designer?’


    Jamie thought.


    “What kind of joke is that?” He struggled to believe in Cedrick’s words.


    Without sparing him a second nce, Cedrick coldlymanded, “Eason, call the police. Since


    someone in the Mason Family doesn’t know what it means to be a decent human being, I should teach


    him a lesson on what is expected of him when he’s a Mason.”


    SO


    Eason verbally responded to thismand as he then reached for his phone.


    Jamie spat viciously and crawled up from the ground. His wedding with Loue was around the corner,


    and he could not afford to be seen getting arrested over another woman.


    He gave Cedrick a bow of respect. “Alright, Uncle, I admit my deplorable behavior, and I am sorry for it.

    “However, don’t forget that your fiancee is thedy of the rk Family, Maia rk. Catelyn here is not


    worthy of your attention!”


    With that, he left frantically with his bodyguards, all of them suffering from fractured bones.


    Cedrick’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent as he gave Eason a sidelong nce. “I want to see the


    news that Jamie Mason is in the hospital by tomorrow.”


    Eason dutifully understood.


    Cedrick nced at Catelyn, who had lost consciousness as she leaned against the wall, unable to


    sustain herself. His brows twitched, and after contemting for a moment, he walked toward her and


    lifted her into his arms.


    Her body was soft and pliant as though there was not a bone in her.


    Eason noticed Cedrick’s struggle and immediately approached him, intending to take


    Catelyn off his arms. “Seems like Miss rk has had too much to drink. Here, let me…


    “No need.” Cedrick moved away from Eason.


    Eason’s eyes widened in disbelief. ‘Is Master Cedrick carrying Catelyn? I thought he was only willing to


    touch Maia! Goodness. Is fire going to rain from the skies now?’


    The top floor had long been emptied at this point as Cedrick carried Catelyn into the elevator until they


    reached the first floor.


    Behind them, Eason kept making faces at Charles in confusion.


    Charles lowered his voice and stared at Eason like he was a fool. “You were in that room for quite some


    time. Didn’t you catch a whiff of any scent?”


    “Scent?” Eason thought about it. “The scent of liquor? Cigarettes?”


    Charles rolled his eyes. “Think harder.”


    “The scent of gardenias!” Eason finally came to a realization. “I was wondering why the door was


    unlocked; it seems that Miss rk had been hiding inside the room after all! That means Master Cedrick


    and Miss rk…”


    “Shhh! I didn’t say anything.” Charles looked at the sky, pretending he was clueless as to what had


    happened.


    Eason grinned mischievously and ran to catch up with Cedrick.


    In the outdoor parking lot on the first floor, Catelyn leaned against Cedrick’s chest. Because of all the


    alcohol she consumed and being pped by Jamie, she was seeing stars and felt utterly nauseous.


    Through her blurry vision, she saw Cedrick’s face-which resembled Miles-and stretched out her arms to


    wrap them around Cedrick’s neck, holding him in ce.


    “Darling, why do you have two heads?” She widened her eyes, and as the dim light of the roads shone


    upon her flushed face, her skin glowed despite the palm print on her cheeks.


    Cedrick gaped at being called ‘darling’, and his ears turned a faint shade of red.


    He red at the woman who clung onto him in frustration; Catelyn twisted in difort and the jacket


    on her shoulders slid down. Cedrick’s gaze slowly drifted downward.
