Chapter 254
"I have a hundred thousand in my bank account. I’ll give you everything!" yelled Catelyn,
suppressing her pain.
The man stopped dragging her by the collar and glared at her doubtfully. "You're not lying to
me...are you?"
"There's an automated teller machine just around the corner. W— We can go there right now..."
Catelyn felt like something was stabbing her lower abdomen, her head was getting dizzy from
the pain as she uttered.
The man looked at her from head to toe, hesitating but eventually giving in to the temptation of
money. His eyes rolled greedily as he warned, "If you lie to me, I'll give you to the homeless
people under the bridge. Get me the money, now!"
Catelyn was glad that he took the bait, but she had no energy to smile.
Her cramps were getting worse by the second, and she could feel her lips going numb from
losing too much blood.

She staggered toward the machine across the street as the man followed her closely behind.
Just as they were crossing the pedestrian crossing, a bright beam of car light shone directly toward
them under the sheet of rain.
Swoosh!
The man raised his hand instinctively to block the bright light off, and Catelyn took the chance to shove
the man away to run.
Alas, she had no more energy left in her.
Thud!
Her knees gave out after running just a few steps forward, and she collapsed onto the asphalt.
Her knees rubbed harshly against the ground and started bleeding, but the blood was washed away by
the rain in an instant.
Catelyn felt the world spinning around her, and the pain from her lower abdomen washed over her like
waves.
She lay on the ground helplessly as she felt her temperature dropping by the second.
Before losing her consciousness, she could faintly hear the rough voice of the perverted man sneering,
"You b*tch! I knew you'd try to run! Why did you stop?"
That man caught up to her.
However, there was nothing she could do other than watch the man grab onto her arm aggressively.
Suddenly...
"Let her go!" came the sharp demand of a man.
Cedrick stood close to his car, while Eason stood next to him with a black umbrella. The pair stood
under the rain.
The aura Cedrick emitted was so powerful as though he was a demon from hell.
"Keep your filthy hands off my woman," Cedrick growled coldly, his words sharp like blades.
The sleazeball, on the other hand, was a nobody who probably had never been in such a
situation before.
He gulped as his knees shook nervously. " W—Who are you to her? This woman owes me
money—!"
Bam!

The perverted man did not have time to react to Cedrick's move before he felt a sharp kick at his
lower back, sending him to the ground.
"Ugh!" The man grabbed his lower back in pain, feeling like his organs had been crushed by that
kick.
Cedrick retrieved his leg and spared a glance at the trash of a man on the ground before he
walked straight toward Catelyn.
Catelyn's body nearly froze due to the cold air, and she could faintly make out the deity-like
outline of Cedrick's face despite the blurry vision.
"We've only parted for such a short amount of time, and you managed to get yourself into such
trouble?" Cedrick crouched and scooped her up in one swift movement.
"I'm curious as to how far your foolishness can reach, Catelyn Clark," muttered Cedrick plainly. It
was hard to tell what he was feeling, but there was a trace of frustration in it.
Due to Catelyn's soaked clothes, Cedrick's outerwear, too, was drenched as he held her to his
form.
