Once Cedrick was certain that Catelyn was fine, he drove his car and chased after the ambulance.Catelyn was sitting in the passenger seat, watching him clutching the steering wheel with both hands. His bloodshot eyes stared in front, expressionlessly as he stepped on the accelerator. The car sped up, and Catelyn felt like she was floating on air. The car did not slow down even when they passed a big windy road.It felt as if they were about to hit something!Catelyn was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly. She could clearly feel that the tire had hit something hard on the road, and the car started to drive crookedly.Catelyn was sweating all over. She quickly grabbed Cedrick's hand on the steering wheel. "Cedrick, please drive slowly! Aunt Janice will be okay. I don't want us to be involved in an accident!"Cedrick stared at the road silently. His face was tense, and there was no trace of sadness or joy on his face, like a rampaging beast.He gripped the steering
"I was indeed the first one to reach the stairwell, but I was only there because I overheard a conversation between her and someone else. By the time I was there, Aunt Janice had already fallen and hurt herself. I ran down to check her injury and got myself stained with her blood," said Catelyn.Draco's heart skipped a beat.Cedrick's face was dark. If there was a third person at the scene, it only meant that Janice was probably pushed down by someone. His eyes were full of hostility, and he continued to ask Catelyn, "You've mentioned that you've heard a conversation, was the other person a male or a female?"Catelyn replied without hesitation, "I'm sure it was a man.""Then, did you see who he is?" At this moment, Ezekiel suddenly raised his voice and asked.Catelyn looked at her father and said helplessly, "He ran away so quickly, I didn't manage to catch a glimpse of his face.""What about his voice? Can you recognize it?" Ezekiel asked again in a serious tone.Catelyn tried
Cedrick ordered Charles to retrieve all the surveillance footage around the island a few hours before and after the incident.Judging from the culprit's frantic escape from the scene, the crime was not premeditated.Since Janice was pushed downstairs on impulse, the culprit probably did not have any time to hide the evidence…Nobody could have imagined such a horrifying incident to take place in the morning after the wedding. The island was completely sealed off, and non-suspicious people would be evacuated in batches in an orderly manner.The operation seemed a little too much, but no one dared blame Cedrick.Old Madam Atherton brought Catelyn into the car, intending to bring her back to the manor. However, Catelyn refused. She and Cedrick had already finished their wedding, so it was only natural for her to move into the Mason Estate.Anyhow, Cedrick needed her by his side.She was disappointed that Cedrick did not call her the entire afternoon. Even when she took the initia
Catelyn saw the man pushing Janice down the stairs! She saw an afterimage that suddenly pushed her aunt down the stairs!She desperately tried to recall the man's face, but he was too far away for her to get a good look at him.Furthermore, the man kept his head down as he fled, and Catelyn only managed to see the clothes he was wearing.He wore dark-colored clothes with no distinctive features.Suddenly, she recalled the man's cuff. Perhaps there was some physical confrontation with Janice beforehand. The inner lining of the cuffs was turned inside out, revealing the intricate letter patterns embroidered on it.N&L.This pattern was magnified in Catelyn's memory, and she started sweating.That was the style she customized exclusively for Ezekiel to wear for the wedding!Could he be the one who pushed Janice down the stairs?It cannot be…Ezekiel did not even know Janice…Catelyn suddenly felt a little uneasy. She felt a chill approaching, accompanied by the sound of small f
Catelyn's breathing fluttered suddenly, but she quickly shook her head calmly. "I've thought hard about it, but I just couldn't recognize who that was based on the voice alone. You found other clues?""Not yet. Anyway, don't think about it so much, sleep well," replied Cedrick. He took the keys and strode out of the Mason Estate.Catelyn sat up from the bed.Why would Cedrick ask that question all of a sudden?His reaction tonight was so strange too. Did he also discover that Ezekiel was a possible culprit as well?Catelyn was wide awake now. She took the mobile phone from the bedside table and called her father."Miss, he is already asleep. If you have anything to say, you can tell me, and I will pass it on to him tomorrow," said the servant who answered the phone.Asleep?If he really was the person who hurt Janice, how could he be able to sleep?Catelyn relaxed a little and asked the servant, "Was there any usual behavior from Dad tonight? Was he restless, or saying words
Catelyn nodded, looking worriedly at the intensive care unit…Last night, she was still reassuring Cedrick that everything would be fine. However, things just go differently than we want all the time.At this moment, the door of the intensive care unit was pushed open, and a nurse ran over. "Miss Coleman is dying. Come in quick if you want to see her for the last time!"Regardless of the infection of the germs around, everyone just hurried in. For many people, Janice's death was not the most important thing. Everyone was there because they knew Cedrick cared about her, and now was the perfect time for them to be at his side to 'show their sympathy'.Catelyn walked toward the hospital bed. Over there, Cedrick was sitting beside it, holding Janice's hand. His eyes were filled with scarlet bloodshot, and a circle of stubble appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had not been shaving for days!Janice was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose. A thin l
Chapter 1061As the last sunset glow disappeared, the car turned the last corner and drove down the lane in front of the Clark Mansion.Ezekiel had a business meeting in the evening, so he intended to go home first to take a shower and change clothes...He had just gotten out of the car and hadn't stepped into the foyer when another black car came up behind him. The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes. Ezekiel subconsciously reached out to block the light and squinted.Then he saw the car stop. Catelyn got out, still wearing her bulky down jacket from the morning, yet her cheeks were stiffer and whiter than in the morning, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried."Cat?" Ezekiel raised his eyebrows in surprise when he realized it was Catelyn. "Why didn't you call ahead to tell me you would come back?"Catelyn looked at Ezekiel, who greeted her as if nothing had happened. Her heart sank. "I have something to say to you.""Well, me too. Let's go in and talk about
Chapter 1062"You admitted it, right? It's really you!" Catelyn's head buzzed, her eyes flashing with grief. "You didn't only ruin Janice but also ruin me. How can I face Ceddy now? Janice was his aunt. He takes her as his mother..."Ezekiel knew it was useless to explain. He anxiously took Catelyn's hand. "I did not want to. Cat, believe me. It was really just an accident. From the accident to now, I have been unable to eat well or sleep well. I have nightmares every night...""I don't want to hear your explanation. I just want to know what you and Janice were arguing about in the stairwell." Catelyn was annoyed, shaking off Ezekiel's hand fiercely.Her mind was in a whirl. She didn't want to hear any explanation now. She just wanted to know how to atone and make Cedrick forgive her father.But was it possible?Her father killed Janice..."I..." Ezekiel hesitated."You still won't tell me the truth? Dad, I'm tired of this guessing game. I beg you... Ouch." Catelyn's blood rush
