Chapter 192 Clearing his throat, Ollie sweetly replied as he batted his crystal-clear eyes at the doctor,
“We didn’t make the wrong appointment, pretty lady. Please help us send the samples for the DNA test.
We’ve already settled the payment for this, too.”
The doctor’s hand unconsciously supported the side of her face as she grinned at Ollie’s compliment.
“Not a mistake, then? Alright, I’ll make the arrangements for the procedure right away. You boys are still
very young, so don’t run around, okay? Wait here for me.”
The light of the setting sun shone through the car window and lit up the inside of the car. Catelyn sat in
the passenger’s seat and tried to distract herself by staring at the moving skyscrapers.
How did Cedrick find out that she was fighting Jamie for the custody of her son? Did Benjamin tell him?
How could he lack professionalism to this extent?
Cedrick moved the steering wheel and drove ahead slowly, all the while glancing at her from the corner

“Jamie had already gone to Benjamin before you did and offered him ten million to help Jamie with the
case.”
Catelyn’s heart sank as she turned to stare at Cedrick anxiously. “And did Benjamin take the case?” she
blurted.
Cedrick did not answer the question and, instead, said, “I can make him change his mind.”
Though Cedrick did not answer the question directly, his response indicated that Benjamin had agreed to
be Jamie’s lawyer.
Benjamin usually accepted each case with a minimum payment of a million, and Jamie had offered him
as high as 10 million.
It was a large sum of money, and Benjamin had no reason not to accept it. Catelyn clenched her hands
and asked, “But I thought Benjamin is traveling overseas?” Cedrick’s lips curled, and with the thin layer of
sweat that gathered on his forehead from the sun, his face shone in an extraordinary manner. “Which is
why I’ve come here to inform you that you have five more days to consider it.” ‘Time to consider?
Consider what?’ wondered Catelyn, her eyes widened in confusion as she stared at Cedrick.
Without a trace of guilt of taking advantage of someone desperate, Cedrick proceeded righteously, “Get
together with me, and I can get Benjamin to break his contract with Jamie
and fight for your side instead. You’ll get custody of your son, and Jamie will never be able to lay a finger
on it. How about you consider my offer?”
Catelyn’s jaw dropped. “You—”
“The only word I want to hear from you is either a yes or a no,” Cedrick interrupted Catelyn from trying to
ease the tension. She thus swallowed the words that hung at the tip of her tongue and fell silent.

All of a sudden, he extended his right arm abruptly and grabbed onto her wrist. Catelyn panicked and
looked up to find his dark, brooding eyes staring back at her.
There was only a short distance between the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat.
The two looked into one another’s eyes, and she could see the emotions flowing within his eyes;
confidence and endearment. The more she stared at him, the more she felt like she was being sucked
into a black hole with no means of escaping.
She bit down on her tongue and forced herself to look away. “How is this any different from blackmailing
me?” she huffed in frustration.
A burning sensation started on the skin of her wrist where his hand had grabbed her. Not only was
Cedrick not offended, but he even smiled instead. “I only ever promised that I won’t take revenge against
you. As far as blackmailing goes… If helping you counts as blackmailing, are you still going to accept the
early payment of your salary I offered you this morning?” He narrowed his eyes in amusement, but his
tone remained condescending. “This is the second time I’ve tried asking a woman out. Catelyn Clark,
give me your answer.”
