Chapter 527
Cedrick, obviously, never expected Catelyn to use a knife against him.
Nonetheless, he was not afraid and instead laughed devilishly.
"No wonder I fell for you."
"Stop flirting, and let me go now. Otherwise, don't blame me for whatever happens next!" Catelyn gritted her teeth and glared at him. Her grip on the knife tightened.
Cedrick did not seem disturbed at all. His eyes finally settled in the darkness as he could see her face better. She looked pale but was nonetheless stunning.
"Stab me if you can." Cedrick looked at her grimly. "You said you can't accept that I hurt you, didn't you? Fine, I'll give you a chance. You stab me, and we'll be even."
"Do you think I won't?"
"Try me."
Catelyn shivered.
The knife was pressed slightly deeper into his skin, but she could not bring herself to stab him. Even if it was just a small slit, she would want to throw the knife away immediately.
She was never a malicious person.
She was, however, flustered and exasperated.
"I didn’t want to be even with you. I just want you to let me go!"
"The guards outside received orders to guard you here. Even if you threaten me, they won't let you go."
Catelyn immediately gripped the knife tighter, and even her knuckles started to turn white.
"That is, of course, unless you stab me gravely, and they'll need to send me to the hospital." Cedrick's gaze was intense, his tone serious as he added, "Catelyn, you only have this one chance."

Just when Catelyn hesitated, Cedrick suddenly grabbed her arm, forcefully held onto the knife, and brought it across his throat to produce a slit!
The force he exerted was so powerful that it was as though he was about to cut open his arteries.
The aghast Catelyn immediately released her grip on the knife, causing the item to fall to the floor loudly.
Cedrick's neck was cut open with a long slit, and blood was oozing right out of the cut.
The guards heard the noises from outside. "Master Cedrick, are you alright?"
Cedrick sounded indifferent as he calmly replied, "I’m fine. Don't come inside."
"Yes, Sir." The guard retreated.
"You didn't have the heart to hurt me, Catelyn. Admit it: you still like me." Cedrick took out a fresh pack of tissue from his pocket and slowly wiped his blood away. He looked calm as ever.
Catelyn regained her senses and saw the knife on the floor. Her tensed muscles were immediately relieved.
Nevertheless, she was so infuriated that she began to heave.
