    The Second Master, Eugene Atherton.


    The smile on Cedrick''s face disappeared in an instant, reced by a cold look, and he said solemnly, "Let him in."

    Within two minutes, Charles led Eugene into Cedrick''s office.


    Hearing the gurgling sound of water, Eugene saw Cedrick pouring tea at a coffee table. There was a rockery stone with a fake waterfall on it,


    rendering a nature and leisure vibe.


    "Master Cedrick, good to see you," Eugene said with a smile.


    Cedrick motioned for him to sit across from him without looking at him. ’ Uncle Eugene, I want to thank you for taking care of Cat in the


    Atherton Manor."


    "Sigh, speaking of her, I feel sorry for her too. You and she are so in love, but your grandma is so stubborn that she wants to separate her


    from you." Eugene sighed helplessly, picked the teacup up, and took a sip.


    Cedrick raised his eyebrows calmly. "What advice does Uncle Eugene have for me today?"


    Eugene was pleasantly surprised, not knowing Cedrick was baiting him, and said, "Your grandma has


    been very busy recently taking care of Catelyn. What if something tragic happened in thepany and


    that makes the people who support you and Cat''s wedding have power in their hands? With a backer


    like that, won''t your predicament be solved?"


    "It turns out that Uncle Eugene is trying to subvert the Atherton family?" Cedrick asked sarcastically.


    Eugene waved his hand angrily. "Don''t nder me for that! Thepanies of your grandma will


    eventually be my brothers'' and mine. We''re just speeding up the process."


    He was afraid that Cedrick would disagree, so he hurriedly said, "As soon as I take control of the


    Atherton family''spanies, I will cooperate with the Mason family and make sure you have all the


    power you need to sit firmly behind the desk of the Mason Group''s CEO. It''s a win-win, what do you


    say?"


    "No. Part of the Atherton family’s assets would be given to my wife." Cedrick''s tone suddenly became


    fierce, and he shot a furious stare at Eugene to warn him. "I hate people who covet her things!"


    Eugene panicked a little when he saw that look, but then he spoke with confidence, "I can help you


    solve your problem with my grandma and make you even richer. We can cooperate and make more


    money, maybe even more than Cat''s share. Are you sure you want to reject me?"


    "What do you think will happen if I go and tell Grandma that her good son is betraying her by


    transferring thepany''s assets to several foreign ounts several times? Will she support your


    idea?"


    Eugene was stunned and looked at Cedrick in disbelief.


    Since Quinn took the position, he had been taking advantage of her many times to embezzle from the


    company in huge amounts andundered the money by transferring them to ounts in foreign


    countries.


    He had always been careful. ''How does Cedrick know?!''


    "You had someone investigate me?"


    "Do you think I will let my wife be the victim of your evil n?" Cedrick''s tone suddenly became cold.


    "Sylvie is also my grandmother. She''s old and frail. I will forget about the talk we had today. Uncle


    Eugene, please leave now."


    Eugene left with a gloomy expression on his face. He did not expect Cedrick would not cooperate with


    him.


    Since that was the case, Eugene decided to do it his own way.


    Cedrick watched Eugene leave and immediately called Eason. "Keep an eye on Eugene. Don''t let him y any filthy trick."


    The next afternoon, Catelyn made an excuse that she had a stomach ache and asked the bodyguard to send her to the hospital.


    She then bribed the female doctor, told the bodyguard that she needed intravenous therapy and that it was inconvenient for men to be


    present, and had the bodyguard waiting outside the ward.


    After that, she took the opportunity to sneak out of the back door quietly and quickly arrived at the restaurant to meet Cedrick.


    Pushing the door open, surprisingly, she saw no one in the restaurant.


    Contradictorily, outside the restaurant, the street was very lively.


    Ding.


    Catelyn’s phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from Cedrick, telling her to go upstairs to the top floor.


    Catelyn was curious and did not know what Cedrick was going to do, so he obediently entered the elevator and went up to the top floor.
