Chapter 526 When she was first confined, Catelyn tried numerous ways to run away, including shredding her bed

sheets into strips and weaving them into a rope. However, it was not long enough-it was a high floor, after all.

She wanted to ask for help from her neighbors too, but her neighbors gave up as soon as they saw the fierce-

looking guards standing by her door.

After all, Catelyn only moved in recently, and the neighbors were wary that she was a suspicious individual.

She even pretended to fall ill. Heck, she tried all kinds of ways, but to no avail.

She almost gave up! “Miss Clark, what would you like to have for lunch?” came the polite voice of a guard as he

knocked on the door.

Catelyn did not want to entertain that question, however.

The guard felt a little bad to see Catelyn in a bad shape.

“Master Cedrick said he’ll be coming over tonight. Catelyn, please have at least some light food. You look terrible

now.”

Hearing that, Catelyn’s pupils dilated. “Cedrick will be here tonight?”

“Yes.” The guard realized Catelyn was finally willing to speak to him, so he continued, “Master Cedrick always

makes a few phone calls every day to check on you; he really cares for you. Do you want to also… put some

makeup on?”

Catelyn could feel a chuckle rising to her chest. “Are you joking?”

Did this guard think this was the ancient medieval times when queens would dress up for the kings?

He wanted her to put on some makeup?

The guard was stunned and did not say a word more.

It was bad enough that Catelyn could not go out, but she did not even have her phone, so she had limited

entertainment options.

The entertainment that she most frequently resorted to was to zone out on the couch.

She felt drowsiness slowly consuming her when all of a sudden, she could hear the faint sound of footsteps on the

floorboard. Instantly, she jolted in alarm.

Outside of the door, Cedrick just finished his work and made it to her place the first thing after.

“Master Cedrick.” The guard took a respectful bow.

Cedrick’s dark eyes swept past the room door, his expression incomprehensible. He looked to the guard and said,

“How is she today?”

“Great. Miss Clark is no longer making a fuss like she used to and didn’t throw a tantrum to say she wanted to get

out. She’s very quiet, and when she heard that you’re coming home, she even ordered a few more dishes than she

usually did.”

Cedrick rubbed his fingers on his frowning forehead.

If she did think it through, he would not have needed to take such an extreme measure.

“Open up.”

The guard then opened the door, upon his instruction.

The originally brightly lit room was oddly pitch-blank with the curtains closed and lights turned off.

The temperature differed drastically across day and night in Franche. No heater was turned on in the room, and

Cedrick could feel the cold edging into his bones.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he could feel something was wrong.

Why was it so quiet in there?

“Catelyn, I’m here,” the man’s voice echoed in the air.

Suddenly, a cold breeze rushed from behind him, followed by what sounded like something shuffling.

Cedrick turned around and saw Catelyn sneaking out from behind the door.

In the blink of an eye, a cold knife was pinned against his neck.

“Cedrick, I’ve waited for you for a long time.” Catelyn held the knife to him. Her lips curved to a grin as her neat,

pearly white teeth glinted eerily under the moonlight.
