Clearing his throat, Eason started a conversation in a light-hearted manner, “Miss Clark, what do you think of Master Cedrick’s figure?”
Catelyn’s cheeks felt burning hot in response to the question. “It’s…not bad,” she answered mindlessly without sparing a second thought to consider what Eason meant by the question, focusing on trying to recall everything she did the night before. She had always been the type of person that let go of all restraints once she was drunk. Back when she was still the lady of the Clark Family, another lady from a different family whom she had crossed before had set up a trap to get her drunk. In the end, she started singing hysterically while stripping.
The aftermath saw Ezekiel sending his servants to take her home, forbidding her from drinking again.
Catelyn truly felt like hiding away from everyone she knew at that very moment, “Just ‘not bad?” Eason said in disagreement, “That’s not right. Master Cedrick works out every week and has abs, v-lines, and the perfect triangle shape. He could run for ten kilometers without even panting at all!” Catelyn fell silent, wondering why Eason was even rambling about all this. “It’s okay if you aren’t satisfied with Master Cedrick, though, but please bear with him.” Catelyn felt as though her ears had been pierced by lightning at his words. She gaped and was completely rendered speechless at that very moment. “Wh-Are you being serious?” she asked gingerly.
Eason, instead, thought Catelyn was having doubts about Cedrick and nodded sincerely. “Of course! Master Cedrick carried you all the way to the hotel last night with ease, so you should know what I’m talking about, right?” “…” She took a deep breath and, out of curiosity, continued, “When…did Master Cedrick leave?
“Don’t blame him for being cold. There’s an important meeting in the office today and he can’t skip it,” Eason explained smilingly.
Catelyn chuckled awkwardly in response, all while her mind self-detonated.
Just then, her train of thoughts was interrupted by the ringing of her phone, and she picked it up immediately. “Hello?”
“Catelyn? This number is yours, huh? I’m Missus Mason, Jamie’s mother,” Lori’s furious, haughty voice came through the phone.
Catelyn rubbed the bridge of her nose and forced herself to calm down, refraining from thinking about the chaos from the night before.
She had met Lori before when she was engaged to Jamie four years ago. Lori was the typical arrogant type of person, self-centered and took pride in being a lady of a high-status family.
“Hello, Aunty,” Catelyn greeted politely.
“Oh, don’t pull that ‘hello’ with me!” Lori interrupted her sharply, “What did Jamie do to you to deserve being beaten to the point that he ends up in the hospital? I’m telling you right now: you better come to the hospital right now and apologize to Jamie. Otherwise, I’ll see to it that you get locked up in jail!” Catelyn froze upon hearing this. It took her a while before she asked, albeit coldly, “You’re saying that I got someone to beat him?”
“Don’t bother denying it. I asked Jamie’s bodyguards, and it couldn’t have been anyone else! Just take a look at yourself. You aren’t pretty, you don’t have the perfect figure, and you’re not from a high-status family. You should consider it an honor that Jamie was interested in you. How dare you hit him, you idiot?!” It had been four years, and Lori’s logic never ceased to amaze Catelyn. The awkwardness she felt earlier had faded, and she even felt like chuckling.

“Missus Mason, if I’m that ugly, Jamie has to be a masochist to throw himself at me. Who knows if he got beaten because of some other woman he toyed with out there? I wouldn’t even want to get my hands
dirty, so think twice before confronting me.
“If you want to sue me, go on ahead; I’m innocent anyway. It’d be a good chance for Louella to find out what kind of a man the father of her unborn child is!”
