Chapter 790
"What did you say to Catelyn the day before yesterday?" Cedrick asked, ignoring Grandpa Mason's question. His tone was cold and aggressive.
Draco slowly sipped his tea.
It was no surprise to him that Cedrick would eventually piece everything together and come here to question him about this.
If he did not have this ability, Grandpa Mason would never allow him to take over the Mason Group.
"Whatever I say to that woman is to make her feel more conscious that the Athertons have found their granddaughter. If she loves you, she will leave you as soon as possible and allow you to marry Quinn. Seeing you angry like this, she probably already did it. A wise decision," said Grandpa Mason.
"Гт not a chess piece in your palm. I'm not that stupid." Cedrick's eyes were full of anger.
The bodyguard had told him that while Catelyn was on her way to the hospital, she was taken to see Grandpa Mason.
The two had a conversation for nearly half an hour. When everything was done, Catelyn's entire body language changed.
Grandpa Mason must have done something to her...
"No matter what means you use to force Catelyn to leave me, I have to tell you that I have no plans to divorce her, and..." Cedrick paused for a moment and continued, "she and I have signed a prenuptial agreement. In the event of a divorce, all my property will automatically be transferred to her name."
The atmosphere suddenly changed. Draco choked on his tea, and his old face flushed.
He stared at Cedrick in disbelief. "What did you say?"
"The agreement is in triplicate, other than mine, the rest are kept in Benjamin Anderson's office. Would you like to go check on it?"
Draco coughed a few times. He took a cane, tempted to swing it on Cedrick's face.
"You bastard! Do you want to give that woman what the Mason Family gave you? She is not worthy of owning any of these assets! I don't care! You will immediately find a way to transfer the assets or cancel the agreement. You're not allowed to give her a cent!" exclaimed Draco.
Cedrick did not even budge. "It can’t be done unless she dies. But if she dies, I will bring the entire Mason Family down with her. Try me."
"You..." Draco was almost really out of breath.
"That's all I have to say. Since you won't tell me what methods you used to threaten Catelyn, then I'll just have to look for it myself," said Cedrick. He turned around and left.
Draco grabbed his cane and chased after him, his breath unsteady. " Cedrick! Are you really going to be ruined by such a woman?"
"I never wanted to rely on marriage in exchange for anything. I decide who I want to spend my life with, Grandpa. Don't try to convince me that this is all for my future of the Mason Family, and you're just doing this all for your own benefit. After all, you've betrayed old Madam Atherton in the past, and you're regretting it now. All you want is her forgiveness," replied Cedrick.
There was danger and disdain in Cedrick's deep voice.
"Scum... You scum!" yelled Draco.
Cedrick turned around and continued to walk out.
