Chapter 505
I’ve lost everything already! What else do you want from me?’ screamed Ivan internally, knowing he would never say these things out loud.
He turned to Cately and smiled politely as he apologized, “I’m so sorry to have wronged you, Missus Mason. Can you please allow me to walk out of here in peace?”
Catelyn had achieved her goal.
Ivan had relied on his fame and talent within the architecture world his whole life, and without these things, he was nothing
Cedrick, however, did not think it was enough.
“You’ve forged evidence just to frame my wife and instigated others to commit crimes for you. If these were reported to the police…”
“No!” Ivan lost his composure as he shrieked, “I have an elderly mother to take care of at home! I can’t go to jail!”
“Don’t worry. My wife is too kindhearted, and she’d never do that. That’s why I’ve thought of a second option for you.”
Ivan gulped nervously, doubtful of how forgiving Catelyn was. Nonetheless, he questioned, “What’s…the second option?”
“My wife invested in a coal mine in South Afreca a while ago, and they’re looking for more miners at the moment. I’m happy to pay you the same amount of salary you’re getting now if you work there for five years. If you manage to stay away from my wife afterward, I’ll forget everything that you’ve done.”
Catelyn looked at Cedrick incredulously.
What a bunch of nonsense! She had never even been to South Afreca, let alone invested in a coal mine there!
Of course, Ivan was reluctant on that offer. He spat in anger as he had lost all of his composure, “What’s the difference between that and going to jail?!”
“The difference is that you have an elderly mother to take care of.”
“No! I’m not going to jail, nor am I going to be a miner!”
“You have one day to decide. If I don’t get an answer, I’ll be reporting your crime to the police.” Cedrick’s tone was cold as he gestured at Eason with his eyes.
