Chapter 396
Cedrick’s eyes narrowed coldly. “Pick it up.” Feeling humiliated, Maia retorted, “It’s just a stupid ring!” “I
said, pick it up!” His tone grew hauntingly dark, and his features tightened in an intimidating manner.
Feeling as though she was choked in a vice-like grip, Maia struggled to breathe. Her eyes reddened
pathetically as she, admitting defeat, headed to pick up the ring. She held onto the ring so tightly that a
mark in the shape of the ring formed on the palm of her hand. Cedrick took the ring from her hand and
placed it back into the box.
Unable to stomach how she was treated, Maia’s face twisted with resentment. “Is this how you treat
your soon-to-be wife?!”

‘How generous!’ she scoffed inwardly. ‘I’m from the Clark family, and I’m not asking for your money! All
I want is your heart, and it can only be mine!
Cedrick put the box back into the pocket in his suit jacket and strode into his study. Albert followed
closely behind without a word, but he did not leave either. Cedrick stilled before the stairs and turned to
look at him. “Do you need something?”
“Master Cedrick, Master Ollie-“.
“Don’t waste your time if you’re trying to speak for him. I won’t allow my son to step on the wrong path
from a young age,” Cedrick interrupted with resignation.
“I’m not trying to do so. It’s just that… “I’m sorry, Master Cedrick. It’s my fault,” Albert blurted out
painstakingly. “I should’ve never let Miss Clark take care of you that night; Master Ollie wouldn’t have
hated her so much if only I stopped her!”
Cedrick scowled. “What do you mean?” Albert pulled out a USB flash drive with footage of the
surveillance cameras concerning what had happened that night.
“You’ll understand once you watch what’s inside.” Albert handed it to Cedrick before heading back to
work without another word.
Cedrick’s heart sank as he stared at the drive in his hand.
Meanwhile, in the children’s hospital, Ollie had gulped down large glasses of hot water every two hours
to fool the nurse who came to test his temperature.
Concerned by his fever, Catelyn’s heart twisted with fear and anxiety.

He tried calling Miles countless times after that, but he could not even reach him, much to his worry
Catelyn had rescheduled her flight to two days later, which happened to be his father’s wedding day.
If Miles could not return, was he supposed to leave with Catelyn?
Although he felt disappointed at Cedrick, he was still Ollie’s father, and while Catelyn had Miles by her
side, Cedrick would be truly on his own if Ollie left. Just then, Catelyn’s features tensed as she
murmured warily, “Why won’t you believe me? The kids…are mine! Give them back… Don’t take them
away from me!” She seemed to have sunk deep into a nightmare, and Ollie snapped out of his
thoughts.
He stroked her back gently and cooed softly, “It’s okay, Mommy, we’re both here. No one can take us
away from you…”
