Chapter 423


    Chapter 423


    Catelyn stared at her bed, and it took her a while before she regained her senses. Once she did, she


    took the cellphone by the bed and turned off the rm. At that moment, the breeze blew into her room


    and made Catelyn’s skin tingle, despite wearing her pajamas. She was so cold that she had


    goosebumps all over her body. What happened?

    She remembered how she got dragged into a dark room and was vited by a man. Yet, there she was:


    awake and still in her apartment.


    Was it all a dream?


    Catelyn removed the nket from her form and ran to the bathroom quickly. She then unbuttoned her


    pajamas and looked at herself in the mirror. Her fair skin was delicate and smooth as usual, without a


    single hickey spotted. There was no hot, tingling feeling in her lower regions, yet her knees felt strangely


    sore. It was probably from all the exhaustion from taking the boys to the amusement park the day before,


    though. It was a dream, after all-a whole strange dream. Catelyn wiped off the beads of cold sweat on


    her forehead. She was still quivering at the thought of being vited by a man.


    The dream just seemed a little too real, so much so that she could hear the man’s rapid breathing


    Catelyn shook her head and decided to stop thinking about it. Above all, she was not hurt at all, and


    everything seemed to be fine.


    However…


    Upon noticing the small bruise on her left knee, her rxed expression contorted instantly. If Catelyn


    remembered correctly, she had bumped into the bedside table while she was running away from the


    man, which happened to be her left knee. Moreover, her knees had no bruises or injuries the day before.


    Realizing this, Catelyn’s face instantly turned paper-white as her lips quivered.


    She took her phone and dialed Joanne’s number.


    Due to the time difference, it was currently afternoon in Amarica. “What’s the matter? Are you missing


    me already?” rang Joanne’s cheerful voice from the other end of the line.


    In contrast, Catelyn’s entire body was surging with anxiety. “Joanne, have you been following news about


    Cedrick recently? Has hee to Franche?” she asked.


    “Ah? Cedrick?” said Joanne, not expecting that Catelyn would take the initiative to inquire about the


    news of Cedrick. After all, she was the one who would usually gossip about him


    instead.


    “Wait a moment. Let me check.”


    “Alright…”


    Within five minutes, Joanne responded, “The City Center project was officially signed the day before, and


    Cedrick should be attending the signing ceremony.”


    “Yesterday?” asked Catelyn, sounding desperate. “It’s…not him, then,” she murmured. ”Not him? Kitty,


    what happened? Why do you sound like you’re shaking?” asked Joanne worriedly.


    Catelyn’s thoughts were in chaos, and it was difficult for her to think straight. “I’m fine,” she muttered. “I


    just saw a man who looked like Cedrick. I must’ve mistaken that person as him.”


    “Oh, I see,” said Joanne. “Don’t you worry, I’ll keep an eye on Cedrick for you. If there’s any trouble, I’ll


    be the first to tell you to run.” “Okay,” replied Catelyn, albeit bitterly so. If Cedrick was in the country, then


    it was not himst night. So, she was taken into the small dark room by an unfamiliar man, after all. Why


    did that scum send her back after everything?


    What did he want?!


    Catelyn felt nauseous at the mere thought of this, but she was not in the mood to entertain it forever. She


    quickly started looking around the room, checking everything thoroughly.
