Chapter 535
"Master Cedrick, I am sorry!" Eason felt chills down his spine and dared not hide it any longer. "I was just thinking of letting you and Miss Clark cool it off a little..."
Thud!
Suddenly, a blow landed on Eason's abdomen.
A human shadow swooped past, and Eason stumbled two steps back from the impact of the kick. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and he remained hunched for a long while, but he did not make a single grunt.
He had made a decision without consulting authority, and deserved punishment.
"When did I allow you to meddle in my personal matters? Should I give up my CEO seat to you as well?"
"Master Cedrick, you know my loyalty to you. I never meant to do that!"
Eason bowed deeply.
He was an orphan from a very young age. It was Cedrick who paid for his education and recruited him into the company after his graduation.
They were of similar age, but Cedrick always had an intimidating aura.
Other than his relationship with Catelyn, Eason had never seen Cedrick this enraged. This was also exactly why he wanted to release Catelyn and the kids...
"Get up." After a long while, the man's icy voice could be heard.
Cedrick's humongous body slumped into the soft cushion. His gaze was grim, and little bits of sunlight shone on his shoulders. No one could read what was on his mind.
Eason could not decide what to do either.
Was it Master Cedrick who kidnapped the kids?
"Master Cedrick, Miss Clark is sitting in the VIP room next door. Would you like to meet her?" Eason asked cautiously and wiped away the sweat on his forehead.
He thought Cedrick would want to see Catelyn at this moment.
However, he replied, "Please ask the security to escort her out and never let her in again."
Eason looked up at Cedrick in shock.
"Do you hear what I said?" Cedrick's handsome face was masked with ruthlessness.
Eason dared not test his patience anymore and left the meeting room.
Eason's reiteration was like the worst news to Catelyn. She was unwilling to leave no matter what.
"Didn't he do this only to force me to come to him? I am here. Why would he refuse to see me?"
She sat in the VIP room stubbornly. She shouted with all her might and with tears running down her face. "I am not leaving unless you get him to return my kids!"
"Miss Clark, can't you understand?" Eason dared not have second thoughts and could only coax her, "Ever since you ran away yesterday, Master Cedrick was already infuriated, and he has lost his trust in me..."
He had not received any information about the two kids so far. Perhaps it was Charles who executed it, or perhaps he had someone else to do it.
Eason could only smile weakly.
"If he is mad about it, please come at me! He promised me he would not snatch the custody of the kids away from me..." Catelyn's heart was shattered into pieces. The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.
She dashed out of the room impulsively.
She did not know which meeting room Cedrick was at. She ran into each room, searching each one of them.
"Cedrick Mason, come out now! I know you are in here. Give me my kids! If you want to go to court, let's go! There is no need to involve the kids!"
"Miss Clark, this is a working space. If you persist, I would have no choice but to take action." Eason went forward to stop Catelyn.
Soon, some staff members were distracted by Catelyn and Eason and paused to watch the drama.
Catelyn wished that Cedrick was among these people.
However, he was nowhere to be found.
In the meeting room, other people had left, except for Cedrick.
He took off his coat and placed it on the back of his chair. He was wearing a navy blue vest, his fingers pinching on a cigarette. He did not smoke but quietly smelled the smoke wafting up in the air.
He could hear the noises behind the walls in the corridor, the shouting, the scolding, and the comforting. His dull face was even darker now.
Not sure how long it passed, and the voices finally faded.
After that, Charles walked in.
"Master Cedrick, Elder Mason's people were caught, and we got the kids back. However, Uncle Ford decided to bring the two kids back to Amarica forcefully. He was worried that they would not follow suit, so he used a little bit of non-harmful drug on them. The kids are now fast asleep."
The cigarette almost burnt itself to the end, and Cedrick suddenly took a deep breath. The end of the cigarette lit up, and then it extinguished when there was nothing left...
He crushed the cigarette butt firmly in the ashtray until it was beyond deformed.
"Other than Uncle Ford, break everyone's leg and send them back to Mason Chateau. Tell Grandpa Mason not to meddle in my business anymore," he said expressionlessly.
Even though Charles was scared, he clearly understood that the kids were Cedrick's last straw.
Elder Mason sent someone to kidnap his sons? He could never tolerate that as a father!
Charles nodded, then asked, "Should we send the two kids back to the castle?"
"No, send them to Uncle Ford, let him bring them back, and also pass a message to Grandpa. Please ask him not to play tricks anymore."
Charles was taken aback. Did he really ask to send the kids back to Mason Chateau?
Even though Grandpa Mason was very fond of the young masters, their mother was Catelyn, whom Grandpa Mason did not accept.
"Do we need to inform Miss Clark about this?"
Charles could not help but feel concerned that Cedrick and Catelyn's relationship, which was already hanging by a thread, would worsen even more.
Cedrick's eyes showed bloodlust. "Yes, of course, we should gloriously inform her about this!"
After Charles left, Cedrick slowly took out the fireworks ring from his pocket. It was the one that Catelyn threw away that night, and he spent a few days just to replace it back.
It was still shiny as ever, but it now carried a different meaning.
Catelyn, even it is something that you have abandoned, I will make you beg me to have it back.
Soon, three days had passed.
Catelyn had not heard from Ollie or Miles, nor could she get into contact with them at all.
She called Aunt Jessie at the castle.
However, Aunt Jessie informed her that the kids were no longer in Franche and had been sent back to Mason Chateau in Sapphire City.
Mason Chateau...
When she heard this, she could feel the sky tearing into pieces. Her whole body was frozen.
If she could only have a little bit of power in Franche, she would be powerless back in Sapphire City, which was dominated by the Mason family. What capabilities would she have to fight the Mason family?
Miles, Ollie, I am sorry, mummy failed to protect you once again.
She wondered if Miles would behave himself in a new environment.
Ollie could not see her, not sure if he would be making a fuss with the Mason family?
Catelyn was worried.
Ding dong.
Her phone buzzed, and a delivery man reminded her that she had an incoming delivery.
She wiped away the tears around her eyes and headed downstairs to pick up her parcel.
It was just an envelope containing a letter from the lawyer.
The letter clearly stated that she had three days to get a lawyer, to go to Benjamin Anderson's law firm sub-office in Franche for negotiation.
If she were late or absent, she would be sued!
Sued...
He was really adamant about going to court with her, was that why he avoided meeting her?
She had really pissed him off...
Catelyn grabbed the letter firmly in her hand. Her knuckles turned white.
No, she must get a lawyer to fight him. She could not let Ollie and Miles be taken away!
They were her blood and flesh...
