Chapter 740

Although Catelyn had not fully regained consciousness, she could tell the man holding her to his chest was Cedrick solely from his scent.

Leaning in his arms, she let out a steady sigh.

"You have Windy now, so keep your nasty hand from the woman you shouldn't touch." Cedrick looked at David coldly.

Not wanting to be outdone by his imposing manner, David put one hand in his pocket and refuted, "It was your wife who threw herself toward me and held me. If you look carefully, you'll notice that she also crumpled my shirt. It's an Italean designer's handmade masterpiece that took months to finish."

"I've paid for the clothes, and the check will be sent to your office."

"Well, now. Thank you, deep pocket." David pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Maribel on the ground. "By the way, that lady is up to something disadvantageous to your wife. My opinion is...get rid of her, and leave no mark behind."

David, the man who was never soft-hearted to his enemies, did not stay any longer after that before he walked away.

Associating Maribel's personality to the urgent text Catelyn had sent him for help, Cedrick's gut was telling him that Maribel had planned to set Catelyn up.

Soon, Eason stopped the car and arrived on the scene. Seeing Maribel lying on the ground and Catelyn in Cedrick's arms, he asked, "Master Cedrick, what-"

"Drag that woman up and come with me," Cedrick gently hoisted up Catelyn as he instructed Eason in a deep voice. Eason had disliked Maribel too, so he only grabbed her by one leg and

dragged her along behind Cedrick until they stopped at the door of Mister Zimmer's private room.

Catelyn had mentioned Mister Zimmer's room in the text before she came here.

When Cedrick pushed open the door, Mister Zimmer had just woken up and was sitting on the sofa, cleaning the wound on his forehead. The drug he took earlier was making his body feverish, and he was sweating profusely. Blood flowed down his cheeks, adding a bit of hostility to his bloody red face.

Hearing the door open, he thought it was Maribel who brought Catelyn to his room and yelled, "Look at this sh*t, Maribel! That b*tch smashed me with a wine bottle! I'll f*cking-"

He stopped abruptly when he saw Cedrick standing at the door with Catelyn in his arms, and Eason was behind him.

The sight of them looked...mightily imposing.

His sight then fell onto Eason's right hand.

Maribel was lying on the ground. After being dragged for so long, her clothes were all messed up.

Even though he did not know Cedrick, his deterrent aura told him that he was no ordinary man.

"You... Hello, may I ask you..."

Cedrick glanced at Eason, then the latter understood the signal and threw Maribel in front of Mister Zimmer expressionlessly. "This woman is your reward now."

When Catelyn woke up, she found herself in a hotel. A doctor had just given her an intravenous drip and left. All the while, Cedrick was sitting on the edge of the bed, keeping watch.

She was still too weak to move her hands and feet, and when she saw a figure sitting beside her, she was startled. Fortunately, it did not take her long to realize the man was Cedrick.

Catelyn was relieved yet confused at the same time.

"Why am I here?" She massaged her spinning head, unable to remember.
