Chapter 123


    Chapter 123 Ezekiel waster caught in a messy trial, and Jamie knew that he could not marry Catelyn


    The thought that all his hard work had gone down the drafu niade Jamie a bitter man, thus he used the


    fact that Ezekiel was in trouble and forced Catelyni to the hotel.


    That night, he walked along the corridor when a woman immediately leaped into his embrace, As the


    woman dragged him into the room, he caught a whiff of that familiar gardenia-scented perfume, and


    something clicked in his mind.” The room was dark when it all happened, but when daylight came the


    next day, Jamie woke up to an empty bed. He assumed that Catelyn had scurried away because she


    was shy. He thought that Ste and Catelyn would struggle after the wreckage of their family, that they


    would plead for Catelyn to be his lover. He did not expect, however, that Catelyn would not give in and


    even hid her pregnancy from him. Catelynid low in BrightGene for four whole years and hid away from


    him the entire time. If it was not for the unexpected encounter that day, Jamie would not have known that


    he had a son. Jamie’s expression shifted as his mind wandered elsewhere. His chin was covered in a


    layer of stubble, and he looked like he had not had a good rest. He looked wrecked, even. Catelyn,


    surprisingly, did not give Jamie a bad time right off the bat.


    “Congrattions on being discharged from the hospital. If you’re here to convince me to drop the case


    against Queenie, I think thewyer has exined my requirement to you.”


    Jamie put off the cigarette in his hand and huffed out thest inhale of smoke. “Catelyn, we were once


    lovers. Do you really have to do this? Queenie is still young, and she doesn’t understand much of the


    world. She’s also considered vour half-sister.”


    “Excuse me? I started earning a living when I was twenty. She’s twenty-one now, yet you still think of her


    as a child?”

    Jamie’s face was grim. “I could return you the loan agreement that your stepmother signed.” “It was a


    set-up. I gave you a check of three hundred thousand dors, and I don’t think I owe you anything


    anymore,” scoffed Catelyn, mildly irked at this point. She thought he would agree to her demand.


    “Catelyn, you don’t need to burn the bridge here.” Jamie threw the cigarette butt on the floor and used


    his leather shoe to crumple it. He then said darkly, “Unless, you want the whole world to know that Miles


    is an illegitimate child of mine and devoid his future from honor.” “How dare you!” Catalyn was triggered


    and shot him a pointed look, guarded.


    Jamie, however, could tell that she was terrified, seeing her turning defensive. She was just faking her


    confidence. Jamie stretched his hand forward and suddenly patted Catelyn’s cheek, feeling more


    superior than ever.


    “Just withdraw your charges obediently, and I’ll make sure Queenie won’t bother you anymore.


    Catelyn shoved him away. “You were such trash four years ago, and even now, you’re just the same.


    You’re probably on some sort of high to use your son against me, huh? “I loathe the fact that Miles has a


    father like you!”


    Catelyn drew the line when it came to Miles. She could never sit still whenever Miles was involved.


    Jamie’s face was still grim as he coldly grabbed Catelyn by her chin. “Queenie said you were hiding a


    man in your house. That man was Cedrick, wasn’t he? Could you just look at yourself? His fiance is


    Maia, and you’re only his ytoy!” With her head tilted, Catelyn could feel her jaw almost shattering


    under Jamie’s grip. “Even if I am just a ytoy, I’m one that’s enough to make a mess throughout your


    family.” “You-!” Enraged, Jamie raised his free hand and swung it toward Catelyn’s direction.


    Catelyn was about to block his hand when a big palm intercepted Jamie’s palm right in front of
