Chapter 604
"I was observing them closely just now. Those executives whom Grandpa Mason contacted were sweating like crazy.
It looks like they have a guilty conscience." Charles said with a chuckle while placing the documents on the desk.
Cedrick smiled in cold mockery. "They were thinking that they could get the best of both worlds."
They never thought that there was no such thing.
At that moment, Eason knocked and entered.
Ever since the incident of Richard kidnapping Catelyn, Eason had been secretly arranged to protect Catelyn.
He reported Catelyn's whereabouts for the day to Cedrick. He deliberately emphasized the fact that Richard was
going back on his word and how he was changing his statement, dragging Maia down. Richard kept reinforcing the
fact that Maia was the mastermind. He was under her spell, and he was merely an accomplice. He hoped for a

Cedrick initially wanted to wait until he was free the next few days to deal with Maia and Richard. He never thought
that Catelyn had done it already! she even crushed Richard's faith in Maia...
It was no longer easy for Maia to treat Richard as a fool.
"Okay. If there is nothing else, you two can leave." Cedrick lowered his gaze. A sense of pride rose in his heart.
After Charles and Eason left, Cedrick pulled out the second drawer on the left of his desk, and there his personal
phone was.
His phone ran out of battery a moment ago, so he placed it in his office charging. He would rarely take his personal
phone along with him during meetings. However, ever since he had Catelyn and the two children, he would glance
at the phone for messages now and then.
Swiping through the screen on his phone, he saw a new message from Catelyn.
Cedrick smiled a little. He initially thought that it was a message from Catelyn telling him about the things she had
done that day. He never expected that it was only a message telling him that she was going to have dinner with
Joanne.
He scanned at the message that said she might be home late. His gaze darkened.
He immediately opened a certain group chat. It was the group chat of a few of his close friends. He had also added
Edwin in.
He texted the group, [My wife is in a good mood today. She's buying dinner. Are any of you interested?]
Benjamin has received instructions from Cedrick about drafting a prenuptial agreement, so he knew that Cedrick
planned to marry Catelyn. He was not surprised at all.
Edwin, on the other hand, went off the rails. [Damn! Has the mother of your children become your wife already so
quickly?]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatelyn has only casually picked a restaurant, she planned for some karaoke after dinner.
Catelyn had a terrible pitch. They usually only did it for fun, so Joanne did not mind her singing at all.
Thus, when they usually hang out and if they had the time, they would surely hit the karaoke bar.
However, Catelyn never expected to receive Cedrick's call before she even entered the restaurant.
"Are you friends coming too?" Catelyn looked at Joanne with furrowed brows. "But I have already agreed to have
dinner with Joanne..."
Cedrick was deliberately silent for two seconds before musing and trailing off, "They are usually quite busy. It's rare
for them to have the time to meet tonight. If you really can't make it, I'll turn them down."
When Catelyn heard what he said, she could not find it in her heart to refuse them.
"Who are they?"
"You know most of them, including Mister Atherton and Benjamin, " Cedrick said in a charming voice.
Catelyn turned to look at Joanne, "okay then. Let me ask Joanne about this first. If she is fine with it, I'll send you a
message to confirm."
Joanne had in fact already heard their conversation and had gestured that she did not mind.
