Chapter 43
It became apparent that the guests in Room 6806 were up to no good.
“Tsk, tsk! Looks like Master Jamie got his hands full with a difficult one now, huh?”
“As difficult as she might be, she had given birth to his child, hadn’t she? Maybe it’s their way of having fun!” Cue a cackle from the guard. “Still, that Catelyn sure is a pretty one.”
“Yeah…”
The bodyguards at the door heard the noises as well and automatically chuckled.
Ding!
The elevator arrived and the door opened, but instead of walking in, Cedrick turned and started walking toward Room 6806.
“Eason had been following closely behind Cedrick and was stunned when he noticed
Cedrick turning around.
‘Wasn’t Master Cedrick going to leave?’ he thought to himself.
When Cedrick was about a meter away from the door to Room 6806, the two bodyguards held out their hands, their expressions hardening as they did. “Stop right there! Who are you? Our boss is inside. What are you trying to do?”
Cedrick’s expression darkened.
Before he said anything, Eason took the initiative to act. The bodyguards could not even see when he approached them, and before they could react, Eason had grabbed onto one of the bodyguards’ fingers.
Snap!
The guard could feel his bones breaking as he howled in pain.
Cedrick stood before the bodyguards like a king looking down on his subjects, asking expressionlessly, “Who did you say was in there?”
“W… We work for Master Jamie. You can’t afford to cross us-!”
Eason darted forward before the bodyguard could finish and grabbed him by his arm before twisting it toward his back.
The bodyguard turned green and wailed. Losing all strength to resist, he stuttered, “I -It’s Master Jamie, and his…ex-girlfriend, C-Catelyn Clark!”
Both Eason and Charles could sense the atmosphere becoming suffocating and gave each other a look.
“Master Cedrick?” Eason looked to Cedrick gingerly for further command.
Unreadable emotions filled Cedrick’s eyes. A few moments later, he slowly rolled the sleeves of his dark-colored suit up and drawled casually, “Pass the word down to clear the top floor out.”
Eason’s brows twitched at the realization that Cedrick intended on getting involved.
Inside the room, Catelyn and Jamie had moved from the couch to the floor, where Catelyn was pinned down. The scent of gardenia from her body wafted into the air due to the thin summer clothes she was wearing.
Jamie kneeled before her and stroked her neck with malicious intent.
“Look at you. You’ve given birth to a child; consider it an honor that I’m even interested in you. Stop playing hard to get!”
With that, he leaned over to bite down on her shoulder viciously as though trying to tear off her flesh.
