Third person's POV
In the bedroom on the second floor, Catherine sat on the bed with a sad look.
Blake sat beside her. He held her hand and said, "We will be your family from now on. Don't be sad anymore, OK?"
Catherine closed her eyes and said, "Without the necklace, I'll have no connections left with my parents, right?"
"It's just a necklace," Blake comforted her.
"I know. But it was from my parents. I should have been more cautious with it," Catherine sighed.
Blake promised to help Catherine find the necklace, but he didn't mean it. He hoped that Catherine would never see the necklace again.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly.
With his phone in hand, Benjamin pushed open Cedrick's office in a hurry.
Cedrick looked up at Benjamin and said, "When will you learn to knock?"
Benjamin put the phone in front of Cedrick and pointed at it. "Cedrick, is this you?"
Cedrick shifted his gaze to Benjamin's phone.
Cedrick saw a female figure leaning toward a slightly blurred figure. The photo was taken at night, so it was hazy, but the words attached revealed the female's name.

Jessica went back to her apartment late at night holding hands with a man. Though it wasn't explosive news, for the media, any news like this was valuable.
Cedrick stared at the screen of Benjamin's phone. And he knew that he was the man in the photo.
But the photo was so blurry, and one couldn't see his face. How could Benjamin be sure that it was him?
Benjamin smiled, "If memories serve correctly, that was the coat you wore the other day..."
Cedrick was unhappy about being questioned by Benjamin.
"Who told you that it was me? Can't there be someone else who wears the same coat as me?" Cedrick said in a cold tone.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes and picked up his phone to take a closer look. "But I have a feeling that it was you. I have sharp instincts."
"Well, this time, you were wrong!" Cedrick said.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled again, "Who knows? I think Jessica's mother is related to our family. Cedrick, no matter how horny and desperate you are, you won't date a woman within the family, right?"
Cedrick's face turned sullen.
"Don't you have work to do?" Cedrick's voice was stern.
Benjamin was shocked and quickly jumped off Cedrick's desk. "I'm going to work now. Cedrick, don't be like this!"
Benjamin grabbed his phone and fled, afraid that Cedrick would catch him and push more work on him.

Cedrick's handsome face turned cold. He suddenly wasn't in the mood to work.
Benjamin's words were like a knife, stabbing into his heart. Was there no future between him and Jessica?
Would he cross the moral boundaries if he dated her? Would he be cursed?
Not long after Benjamin left, Cedrick's assistant called and asked, "Mr. Lawrence, there's a lady named Lillian Watson in the lobby. She wants to see you."
Cedrick said in a deep voice, "Let her in!"
A few minutes later, Lillian pushed the door and entered.
She was wearing a tight waist-length dress, which made all men hold their breath. She was a hot woman.
Lillian came in and sized Cedrick's spacious office up. Her rosy lips curved into a smile. She walked toward his desk and said, "I didn't expect you to have taken over the company. I heard that you managed the company very well. Cedrick, I guess I didn't give you enough credit."
Cedrick did not want to listen to her compliments. He asked coldly, "What do you want?"
"I've been quite free recently. I came to chat with you." Lillian seemed very satisfied as she looked at the handsome man sitting in the chair. He had become the mature man she wanted.
Cedrick's expression turned cold, and his voice was cold too. He said, "I'm very busy right now. I don't have time for this!"
"Don't be so cold to me. Let's have lunch together, OK?" Lillian bent over and placed her hands on his desk, her tone full of tenderness.
Cedrick threw down the pen in his hand, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and said indifferently, "Are you trying to get back with me?"

Cedrick smiled and mocked, "What do you think?"
Lillian's heart trembled as she watched his grim smile.
"Do you have someone else already?" Lillian knew Cedrick well. If he still had feelings for her, his eyes would not be so indifferent. Lillian was a little sad because another woman had taken her place in Cedrick's heart.
"Yes," Cedrick replied in a loud voice.
"Was it the girl you were chasing after at the airport? Was she Jessica? She was a star, right?" Lillian suddenly smiled, as if she had discovered his secret.
Cedrick's face darkened.
Lillian flicked her long hair. "I have an upcoming brand conference. I think I should invite your girlfriend. What do you say?"
Cedrick knew that Lillian's job was related to fashion. He said coldly, "Stop making wild guesses. It wasn't her."
"Really? A photo of her having an affair with a man was exposed by the media today. I knew it was you in that photo."

Cedric stood up abruptly and propped his hands on the desk. He warned her with his eyes. "Lillian, we can't be a couple, but at least we can be friends. But I'm afraid that won't happen now because of what you've just said."
Lillian was so angry that her face turned red. "You don't want me because I was married before, right? Cedrick, why didn't you come to me on my wedding day? I told you. I would run with you, as long as you showed up! You gave up on us, not me!"
Cedrick saw the resentment in Lillian's eyes. He furrowed his brows and sat back down.
"You wanted me to take you away from your wedding? You overestimated me. If you had chosen me, why did you put on the wedding dress that another man had prepared for you? You were weighing, and you chose him. And now, Lillian, you're only blaming me, because you are too proud to admit that you chose him back then, for he was better and richer than me..."
