Chapter 504

Cedrick took a sip of the coffee served to him, much to Catelyn's chagrin.

Caffeine was proven to be terrible for wound recovery, and it might even trigger an infection! The doctor had advised him to watch his diet, so what was he even doing, sipping a cup of coffee?

Cedrick placed the cup down elegantly, his face calm and unperturbed. "Nothing much. I've just heard rumors of my wife being accused of bribery and theft and decided to stop by. Don't be too nervous." How was William not supposed to be nervous? Cedrick's power was equal to the VSA Group's CEO!

"Y-Your wife?" William gulped and asked cautiously, "Are you saying that your wife works in our company?"

"My wife has always been low profile, which is why we didn't give a proper introduction," replied Cedrick casually, his eyes falling on Catelyn. "Cat, come here."

The room fell into dead silence. Apart from Amy, everyone else on the scene was in disbelief.

Catelyn, on the other hand, panicked upon being called on like that. Her face flushed in deep crimson when she felt the gazes on her, effectively making her flustered.

His wife? She had agreed to his proposal!

"Ahaha! Miss Clark is indeed a low profile person, so much so that none of us were aware..." William chuckled dryly as he switched from referring to Catelyn as her first name to 'Miss Clark'.

How had he not noticed that before? The incident where Catelyn toppled over Cedrick must just be the couple's way of having fun!

Everyone was so focused on Catelyn that she could not bring herself to humiliate Cedrick at that moment.

She suppressed her anger and decided to deal with him later.

She slowly walked toward Cedrick, who then pulled her onto his lap.

Catelyn twitched ever so slightly, and Cedrick's arm immediately tightened around her waist. Bringing his lips next to her ear, he whispered, "Don't make me force you down in front of everyone." Catelyn froze as she squeezed out a polite smile.

How could Cedrick be so shameless?

The air in the conference room tensed the moment Cedrick arrived.

Since Catelyn had been revealed to be Cedrick Mason's wife, the Missus CEO of Mason Group, why would she ever care about mere bribery?

It was clear to everyone that she had been slandered!

Cedrick, of course, did not come unprepared as he got on a call with Charles right away.

Charles managed to track down the woman who met Catelyn in the washroom previously.

The woman insisted that it was Ivan who had ordered her to slander Catelyn.

Taking that into account, as well as how he stole Smith's work, drove William to fire Ivan right then and there. He was to never be rehired by the company, and his actions would be exposed to the public. Ivan's future was completely ruined that day.

He finally understood why Amy would suddenly go against him; it must have been because of Cedrick!

Just when he thought things could not get any worse, Eason blocked the entrance, preventing him from leaving

Ivan's face was ashen at that point as he looked up at Cedrick blankly.

"You ruined my wife's reputation, and you nearly got her arrested for things she didn't do. Do you think you can just leave?" Cedrick asked nonchalantly.
