Chapter 868
The Second Master, Eugene Atherton.
The smile on Cedrick's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold look, and he said solemnly, "Let him in."
Within two minutes, Charles led Eugene into Cedrick's office.
Hearing the gurgling sound of water, Eugene saw Cedrick pouring tea at a coffee table. There was a rockery stone with a
fake waterfall on it, rendering a nature and leisure vibe.
"Master Cedrick, good to see you," Eugene said with a smile.
Cedrick motioned for him to sit across from him without looking at him. ’ Uncle Eugene, I want to thank you for taking
care of Cat in the Atherton Manor."
"Sigh, speaking of her, I feel sorry for her too. You and she are so in love, but your grandma is so stubborn that she
wants to separate her from you." Eugene sighed helplessly, picked the teacup up, and took a sip.
Cedrick raised his eyebrows calmly. "What advice does Uncle Eugene have for me today?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEugene was pleasantly surprised, not knowing Cedrick was baiting him, and said, "Your grandma has been very
busy recently taking care of Catelyn. What if something tragic happened in the company and that makes the people
who support you and Cat's wedding have power in their hands? With a backer like that, won't your predicament be
solved?"
"It turns out that Uncle Eugene is trying to subvert the Atherton family?" Cedrick asked sarcastically.
Eugene waved his hand angrily. "Don't slander me for that! The companies of your grandma will eventually be my
brothers' and mine. We're just speeding up the process."
He was afraid that Cedrick would disagree, so he hurriedly said, "As soon as I take control of the Atherton family's
companies, I will cooperate with the Mason family and make sure you have all the power you need to sit firmly
behind the desk of the Mason Group's CEO. It's a win-win, what do you say?"
"No. Part of the Atherton family’s assets would be given to my wife." Cedrick's tone suddenly became fierce, and he
shot a furious stare at Eugene to warn him. "I hate people who covet her things!"
Eugene panicked a little when he saw that look, but then he spoke with confidence, "I can help you solve your
problem with my grandma and make you even richer. We can cooperate and make more money, maybe even
more than Cat's share. Are you sure you want to reject me?"
"What do you think will happen if I go and tell Grandma that her good son is betraying her by transferring the
company's assets to several foreign accounts several times? Will she support your idea?"
Eugene was stunned and looked at Cedrick in disbelief.
Since Quinn took the position, he had been taking advantage of her many times to embezzle from the company in
huge amounts and laundered the money by transferring them to accounts in foreign countries.
He had always been careful. 'How does Cedrick know?!'
"You had someone investigate me?"
"Do you think I will let my wife be the victim of your evil plan?" Cedrick's tone suddenly became cold. "Sylvie is also
my grandmother. She's old and frail. I will forget about the talk we had today. Uncle Eugene, please leave now."
Eugene left with a gloomy expression on his face. He did not expect Cedrick would not cooperate with him.
Since that was the case, Eugene decided to do it his own way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedrick watched Eugene leave and immediately called Eason. "Keep an eye on Eugene. Don't let him play any filthy
trick."
The next afternoon, Catelyn made an excuse that she had a stomach ache and asked the bodyguard to send her to the
hospital.
She then bribed the female doctor, told the bodyguard that she needed intravenous therapy and that it was
inconvenient for men to be present, and had the bodyguard waiting outside the ward.
After that, she took the opportunity to sneak out of the back door quietly and quickly arrived at the restaurant to meet
Cedrick.
Pushing the door open, surprisingly, she saw no one in the restaurant.
Contradictorily, outside the restaurant, the street was very lively.
Ding.
Catelyn’s phone suddenly rang. It was a text message from Cedrick, telling her to go upstairs to the top floor.
Catelyn was curious and did not know what Cedrick was going to do, so he obediently entered the elevator and went up
to the top floor.
