Chapter 809
"Who's worthy then?! Catelyn? A murderer's daughter and a bankrupt lady? what has she done to make you fall so deeply for her?" Elder Mason's face turned pinkish red because of anger, and he suddenly sat up from the bed.
"The doctor said you need to rest. I'll go first and see you when I have time."
Cedrick turned his head and strode out without the slightest hesitation.
"Stop right there!" Elder Mason's anger was fueled by Cedrick's sudden leave. He grabbed a pillow by his hand and threw it at him. " Mark my words! If you don't settle the prenuptial agreement and marry Quinn, you'll never see Catelyn again for the rest of your life! II
Cedrick's eyes suddenly became deadly cold.
With his darkened eyes, he calmly stared into Elder Mason's eyes.
"Didn't the doctor say that you are so ill that it is difficult to get up?"
He was right. His grandfather was pretending to be sick all the while.
Elder Mason was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he said, "Are you very dissatisfied that I can sit up now? You'd only be happy if I got into a coma because of you, wouldn't you?"
"I didn't mean that. There is a lot of work left with me in the company, and I'm really busy. Take care. I will let Ollie stay here with you for a few days." Afterward, Cedrick gently picked up the needle that fell on the ground and put it on a nightstand before striding out.
Elder Mason rolled his eyes involuntarily, grasped his left-sided chest, breathed heavily, and cursed bitterly with all his force, "You brat!"
Since Cedrick refused to settle the prenuptial agreement, Elder Mason was left with no choice but to force him to do it.
When Uncle Ford came back, he gave his order, "Go to Catelyn and ask her to tear up the prenuptial agreement. If she refuses, cut off a finger of Ezekiel and give it to her."
Catelyn had a series of strange nightmares that kept waking her up in the middle of the night.
She felt that her body was light and airy as if her soul had escaped from her body, crossed the boundaries of time and space, and appeared in a huge prison.
The prison was located on an overseas island and was one of the most secluded prisons in the world. Ezekiel was in it, surrounded by a group of strong and fierce people of different races. They kept instructing him to do all kinds of vile and dirty things and seemed to take pleasure in torturing him. Those people would snicker contentedly, watching him covered in blood and sweating profusely.
Catelyn wanted to rush over and protect her father over and over again, but she was just a soul floating in the air, penetrating through Ezekiel's body every time she tried.
All she could do was witness those people torturing her father...
Catelyn screamed and woke up from the nightmare, grabbing the quilt and breathing heavily with cold sweat all over her forehead.
