Maia glared at him. Earlier, she served him the pick-me-up and thought she could coax him into
drinking it. However, he looked sober but was, in fact, very drunk right from the start.
The morning sun shone in.
‘Pretty girl, why are you crying?’ ‘Don’t worry…! The hysterical and presumptuous laugh rang in her
ears again. Catelyn was lying on her bed, still trapped in the nightmare. “No!” She sprang up from her
bed, gasping for air, panting. She also accidentally pulled on the wounds on her forehead and
shoulders.
The pain woke her up, and she realized there was a tube in her veins. The wound on her forehead had
been treated.
She was at a place that she was unfamiliar with.

“Miss Clark, you are finally awake,” a man with a deep voice said.
She looked in the direction of the voice. She saw David, with Winnie following behind him, walking
toward her.
He was smiling lightly, and his gaze was gentle under his framed glasses.
Nevertheless, Catelyn was not pleased to see him at all.
“You are an associate to David!” Catelyn looked at Winnie, keeping her guard up.
Winnie was much calmer and composed after all this while. She was no longer hysterical like when she
left Mason Group. Her arms were folded across her chest. Her tone was cold.
“I spent so much time getting close to Cedrick. Now all thanks to you, I am out. I really don’t understand
why Nine decided to save you last night.”
They were forced to take a detour yesterday because there was a massive accident on the highway
that they usually use.
They had not expected to bump into Catelyn and the creeps. Catelyn had not expected to be rescued
by David in the end.
She was supposed to thank him, but she just could not bring herself to say it.
It was him who pushed her into this bottomless pit.
She took a deep breath and pulled out the tubes in her hand, bearing the pain.
She did not care if her body could take it and was adamant to leave.
David pressed his big palm against her shoulder, stopping her from moving. “You are weak, and you
have a fever. I would not recommend you to leave now.”
“Let go.”
“Usually, I respect a woman’s consent, but I also pretend that I am not a gentleman occasionally.”
Catelyn thought she heard the worst joke in the world and replied sarcastically, “Gentleman? I didn’t

pawn? I now officially burnt bridges with Cedrick. You cannot get the information that you need
anymore.”
“I know.”
Unless they were totally broken up, it was not possible for Catelyn to run out of the house alone in the
middle of the night.
Right from the moment Winnie was fired from the company, David was very well aware that there was
someone behind it, Cedrick had long realized that Winnie was an associate of David. However… He
had not lost yet. “Then why are you keeping me around? I would advise you not to waste your time on
me!” Winnie was one of the most loyal people around David. She saw that Catelyn was being
disrespectful and immediately reprimanded, “Catelyn, watch your words. Know who you are talking to.”
“Are you expecting me to worship someone who framed me?” Catelyn was still nonchalant. She even
sounded a little sarcastic. “Maybe, you should not have saved me last night. Isn’t that what you usually
do to people you abandon?”
