Chapter 405
‘B*stard child?’
Did Cedrick just say Miles was a b*stard? Catelyn looked at Cedrick incredulously as she felt lightning strike through her, fiery rage coursing throughout her body.
At the same time, however, she felt relieved.
Cedrick did not know the truth after all; he was just using her and Miles as his scapegoat. “I’m fine with you using me, Cedrick Mason, but to use Miles, my son? Disgustingly deplorable!” spat Catelyn as her eyes reddened. Cedrick shot a cold glare at her and took out a checkbook from his pocket, writing on one piece with his black fountain pen. “One hundred thousand. Is that enough?” Staring at the check, Catelyn felt unadulterated rage rushing through her veins as she snatched it and tore it into pieces, tossing them over his head. “So what if you’re loaded? You can’t restore a child’s reputation with money!”
The pieces of paper rained on them, and a few pieces even landed on Cedrick’s collar.
His charming face sank and darkened in an instant.
“Miles is the light of my life and my everything. I won’t allow you to stain his purity with your filthy definition of a ‘moral’!
“Congratulations, Cedrick Mason. You’ve yet again overstepped my boundaries. You disgust me!”
Catelyn’s patience had been stripped away completely as she shoved him away and walked away from him.
Since Cedrick had yet to know the truth, Miles should not have been taken away by him.
If that was the case, where was he? Could this be one of his pranks?
‘Filthy.’ ‘Disgusting.’
Those words rang in Cedrick’s ears, filling his entire being with anger. Eventually, Cedrick exploded with rage and pulled Catelyn into his arms.
“You think I’m disgusting? I’ll stain you with my filth, then!”
He grabbed her by the collar and pulled her to his face, his boiling-hot breath fanning her face with anger. It was as if he had been possessed by a beast, about to tear her into pieces.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Catelyn looked at him with fear in her eyes.
