Chapter 532
Even though Catelyn did not entirely believe the two little ones, she still asked them politely, "What is the plan?"
Ollie shook his head and decided to keep the suspense for a bit. " Uncle George, please turn left. There is a public toilet. Drive there quickly."
George was bewildered too, but he still followed his direction.
The car zoomed through the heavy traffic and soon reached the public toilet that Ollie was talking about.
Ollie pulled Catelyn into the toilet.
As soon as she went inside, she saw a woman that resembled her figure walking out. It was Jolene!
"Kitty, I heard that something happened to you. I was terrified!" Jolene gave Catelyn a big hug.
Catelyn was confused.
Miles was standing right next to Jolene. He saw Catelyn and was relieved. He then urged, "Mummy, thank God you made it out.
Quick, exchange your clothes with Jolene."
"Exchange my clothes?" Catelyn was even more confused.
Ollie explained concisely, "Later, Jolene will be taking your place. Uncle George will bring Jolene on a ride to distract Uncle Eason and to trick them into believing that you are in his car. When the police release Father, we will be far away!"
Even if this was just a temporary fix, at least they could be safe for one night,
"This..." Catelyn did not expect her sons to be able to pull so many people together.
"Don't say a word more. George is still waiting outside. If your abusive ex-husband catches up, we will all be dead!" Jolene quickly pulled Catelyn to the cubicle to exchange their clothes.
Catelyn went speechless. Abusive ex-husband?
Was this the criminal charge for Cedrick by her little sons?
Catelyn and Jolene exchanged clothes. Catelyn watched as Jolene got into the passenger seat instead of her, and as though she did it on purpose, she rolled the window down and held her arm out...
In the corner of the public toilet, Catelyn and the two babies waited for a while, and they saw a few cars tailing George's car from a distance.
Inside of the car in the lead was Eason!
Catelyn smiled weakly, feeling as though she had just escaped death.
Cedrick Mason, why?
Catelyn brought the two babies to rest in the hotel nearby, at the same time, tried to think what they should do next.
She really did not wish for them to be hiding forever.
They should be like other kids, sitting in the spacious classroom, learning to read and write, and playing with their friends during recess time. They should not be on the run every day.
Nonetheless, if they did not escape, what would Cedrick do to them?
Catelyn had no idea.
For now, the most important thing was to resolve her work issues.
Initially, she asked for some time off from William to move. She did not expect that she had to be away for so many days.
She video-called William. William knew the relationship between Cedrick and Catelyn, so he dared not reprimand Catelyn outright. He even patiently advised her, "Miss Clark, good evening. Have you had a good rest these few days?"
Catelyn was suddenly hesitant to say what she initially wanted to say.
If he knew that she was currently not on good terms with Cedrick, he would probably scold her.
"Mister William, I wanted to call you tonight to let you know that... ■I
"Wait, I know you have limited time. Miss Clark, please hear me out first," William interjected and then grinned. "You should know that the VSA Group is mainly based in Euro. Even though we have penetrated into the west, it has always not been ideal."
"I have heard about this." What did this have to do with her?
"You and Cedrick are pretty close. Suppose you could convince Cedrick to have a close collaboration with us and help our Group to penetrate into the western market. In that case, I could promote you as the Amarican Region General Manager."
He was beating around the bush to ask for her help to convince Cedrick.
"Director, I am sorry, Cedrick and I are, in fact, not married, and we are not in a relationship that you thought we were."
"Not married?" William was stunned, he wondered, 'I had recently read some newspaper of Sapphire City, Cedrick's finance's name was Maia Clark, and you are his... lover?'
Catelyn found herself speechless.
"It is even better that you are his lover. You are young, and you could use your relationship with him to lay down a path for yourself. Even if he really got married in the future and broke up with you, you would not lose out much."
"The signal is pretty weak here, Director. We will chat again." Catelyn hung up, realizing she had forgotten to ask William for a few more days off.
At the same time, Eason’s people successfully blocked George's car.
When Cedrick finally caught up, George descended from his car slowly and steadily.
All along, Cedrick was always so noble and mighty and George was only one of his staff members.
However, George could not help but feel thrilled.
He finally tricked Cedrick!
"You could not go far." Cedrick took one disdainful glance at him, and his gaze fell into the car.
The windscreen was tinted, and Cedrick could not see the inside clearly.
"Get down, Catelyn!"
The woman in the car did not move.
Cedrick advanced toward the black Banz. "Looks like you wanted me to invite you out personally?"
"Since Cedrick is so sincere about it, I think it is better for you to get out of the car. He spent quite some effort to pull us over." George saw Cedrick's enraged expression, and it was extra satisfying to him.
The next moment, the car door was pushed open.
Cedrickhad tried so hard, but she ignored him; on the contrary, it only took a few words from George to move her.
Cedrick's face was even darker.
"Hi, Cedrick." A strange woman's face appeared before Cedrick.
