Chapter 847
Catelyn pretended to close her eyes, waiting for the 'kiss' to come.
She could feel Jerrad's breath getting closer and realized something was wrong.
It was too late.
A layer of icy temperature landed on Catelyn's lips. She opened her eyes and saw Jerrad's evil-looking face right in front of her.
He was about to kiss her right before everyone!
Catelyn's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively wanted to push him away and slap him in the face.
However, Jerrad was a step quicker than her. He pinned her shoulders down, keeping her from moving.
Catelyn felt anxious. She was about to raise her knee and ram it against Jerrad.
Thud!
A strong wind swept past her ears. In the next moment, Jerrad's neckline was grabbed by a hand, and his whole body was overturned to the ground.
Catelyn turned her head and saw that it was Cedrick who slammed Jerrad down.
She suddenly became nervous, and her heart was thumping incessantly.
How could this be so coincidental?
'It's over. It's all over.’
Jerrad may be a strong man, but he was still not a match against Cedrick. He lay on the ground paralyzed, with one of his hands holding his tailbone, ’ You... What are you doing?" he stammered as he looked at Cedrick.
"Come here," said Cedrick to Catelyn while staring coldly at Jerrad as if he was a puny little ant.
Catelyn knew that she was in trouble. She moved toward Cedrick embarrassingly.
Cedrick put his arms around her waist, took her into his arms, and said domineeringly to all the male guests present, "I don't care if you all are here for a blind date. However, if you want to pursue my wife, you have to go through me first!"
Wife?
The wife of Cedrick Mason?
Are they actually married?
Everybody knew Cedrick was a bachelor. Perhaps he had a lover, but nobody knew that he was married for real!
Moreover, it was Catelyn to whom he was married to. All the female guests at the party suddenly started gossiping excitedly.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were full of envy or curiosity, Catelyn blushed in embarrassment.
How shameful... Coming to a blind date party as a married woman. Catelyn just wanted to crawl into a hole and hide there forever.
Cedrick did not give Catelyn anytime to be deep in thought. He held her arm and dragged her out of the banquet hall, leaving all the shocked guests behind.
In the midst of it, he called Charles. His tone was full of anger, "There was a man named Jerrad Anthony guy at this party. I want you to bankrupt his business and drive him out of Sapphire City!"
