Chapter 543

A bitter smile appeared on Catelyn's lips.

She should have known. No man would willingly give up their wealth to save a woman, let alone for a couple

with so much left to overcome like her and Cedrick.

"If I can't make it back, take care of the boys for me," she feebly mumbled, muttering a silent goodbye with

what little strength she had left.

"Who said you won't make it back?" Cedrick retorted, interrupting her thoughts. "You'll be out of there safe

and sound!"

"Miles might argue with you a lot, but he's a kind child, so do be patient with him. Ollie is very

understanding, but he tends to keep his feelings bottled up inside, so talk to him whenever you have the

time..."

"What's all this nonsense, Catelyn?!"

She sounded as though she was already dying when he had not given her permission to leave him.

She forced a smile, but before she could say anything else, Scarface grew impatient and snatched the phone away

from her before walking to the other side, cursing the entire time. "It's not time to bid farewell just yet! Cedrick

Mason, you heard her! We have your woman, and I've laid out my condition. Why don’t you make a choice

already?"

Catelyn stared intently at Scarface, scared that she would miss a single word of their conversation. However, he

was too far away

and the phone was not placed on speaker, so she could only hear Scarface's voice and not at all what Cedrick was

saying.

In the end, Scarface hung up with satisfaction and sneered. "That idiot!"

Catelyn's heart jumped into her throat. "What do you mean? What did he say?"

Scarface simply ignored her and ordered his two subordinates. " I'm heading out. Guard this woman with your

lives!" He paused briefly and added, "If any of you try anything before Cedrick donates his assets, you'll answer to

my gun!"

The two men watched as Scarface left with a big smile on their faces and turned to stare at Catelyn.

Sensing their eyes on her, she immediately covered herself with her arms. "Don't forget what your boss said. You'll

answer to him if you mess up the deal you have with your employer!"

"Tsk. You'll be begging me for it soon." One of them spat barbarically and looked away.

Simply guarding Catelyn was too dull a task, so they tied her up with ropes and went to the door to play poker.

They had used a sailor's hitch on her, which tightened the more she struggled. The skin on her wrists and heels

tore, but she did not dare stop and slowly used Cedrick's proposal ring to cut the rope.

She would never have imagined that the ring would become her tool to escape in her wildest dream, but the

execution was not as easy as coming up with the idea.

She was drenched in sweat shortly after before the rope was severed, though she did not try. She did not

know what Cedrick had chosen to do and what Scarface would do to her once he came back...

'I can't die,' she told herself, 'not here, and not now!'

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Forest of Death.

Cedrick hung up and turned to look at Charles and the technology specialists he brought. Ever since the

kidnapper called, the team had been working to trace the number.

"Master Cedrick, the call wasn't long enough for us to pinpoint a spot. We only managed to narrow it down to

the north side of the forest," reported one of the specialists regretfully.

Cedrick pursed his lips and ordered Charles directly. "Get the accountants to start listing out all my assets."

"Master Cedrick, don't!" Realizing that Cedrickplanned to accept the kidnapper's condition, Charles

immediately pleaded, "Your personal assets include shares for Mason Group and multiple subsidiary

companies. If you donate all of it, the entire society will be shaken!"
