NovelAppChapter 423
Catelyn stared at her bed, and it took her a while before she regained her senses. Once she did, she
took the cellphone by the bed and turned off the alarm. At that moment, the breeze blew into her room
and made Catelyn’s skin tingle, despite wearing her pajamas. She was so cold that she had
goosebumps all over her body. What happened?
She remembered how she got dragged into a dark room and was violated by a man. Yet, there she
was: awake and still in her apartment.
Was it all a dream?
Catelyn removed the blanket from her form and ran to the bathroom quickly. She then unbuttoned her
pajamas and looked at herself in the mirror. Her fair skin was delicate and smooth as usual, without a

strangely sore. It was probably from all the exhaustion from taking the boys to the amusement park the
day before, though. It was a dream, after all-a whole strange dream. Catelyn wiped off the beads of
cold sweat on her forehead. She was still quivering at the thought of being violated by a man.
The dream just seemed a little too real, so much so that she could hear the man’s rapid breathing
Catelyn shook her head and decided to stop thinking about it. Above all, she was not hurt at all, and
everything seemed to be fine.
However…
Upon noticing the small bruise on her left knee, her relaxed expression contorted instantly. If Catelyn
remembered correctly, she had bumped into the bedside table while she was running away from the
man, which happened to be her left knee. Moreover, her knees had no bruises or injuries the day
before. Realizing this, Catelyn’s face instantly turned paper-white as her lips quivered.
She took her phone and dialed Joanne’s number.
Due to the time difference, it was currently afternoon in Amarica. “What’s the matter? Are you missing
me already?” rang Joanne’s cheerful voice from the other end of the line.
In contrast, Catelyn’s entire body was surging with anxiety. “Joanne, have you been following news
about Cedrick recently? Has he come to Franche?” she asked.
“Ah? Cedrick?” said Joanne, not expecting that Catelyn would take the initiative to inquire about the
news of Cedrick. After all, she was the one who would usually gossip about him
instead.
“Wait a moment. Let me check.”
“Alright…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithin five minutes, Joanne responded, “The City Center project was officially signed the day before,
and Cedrick should be attending the signing ceremony.”
“Yesterday?” asked Catelyn, sounding desperate. “It’s…not him, then,” she murmured. ”Not him? Kitty,
what happened? Why do you sound like you’re shaking?” asked Joanne worriedly.
Catelyn’s thoughts were in chaos, and it was difficult for her to think straight. “I’m fine,” she muttered. “I
just saw a man who looked like Cedrick. I must’ve mistaken that person as him.”
“Oh, I see,” said Joanne. “Don’t you worry, I’ll keep an eye on Cedrick for you. If there’s any trouble, I’ll
be the first to tell you to run.” “Okay,” replied Catelyn, albeit bitterly so. If Cedrick was in the country,
then it was not him last night. So, she was taken into the small dark room by an unfamiliar man, after
all. Why did that scum send her back after everything?
What did he want?!
Catelyn felt nauseous at the mere thought of this, but she was not in the mood to entertain it forever.
She quickly started looking around the room, checking everything thoroughly.
