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
Chapter 1063Catelyn was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating and ached sharply. She ran up to the second floor in a hurry.The bedroom was filled with a strong smell of blood.Ezekiel was lying on the bed, his bleeding wrist resting on the edge of the clean white sheet. There was a pool of blood on the ground. His wrinkled old face turned pale from blood loss. He looked dying.Catelyn ordered the maid to call an ambulance and then took a medical kit to treat Ezekiel's wound.The wound was so deep that his bones could be seen. She wrapped thick gauze around it but still couldn't stop the bleeding."Dad! Are you crazy? Why did you do this? I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you...""Cat, I killed someone. I should be punished by the law." Ezekiel's unfocused eyes were narrowed as he choked, "But I really don't want to go back to jail. I would rather die than spend the rest of my life in jail. Don't save me...""What are you talking about? I'm your daught
Chapter 1064In front of Cedrick was Janice's photo, in which she had a graceful smile on her gentle face. He stroked the woman in the photo.It was a pity that she would never smile again."Mr. Mason." Eason cautiously reminded him, "Mrs. Mason is here, and Grandpa Mason wants you to come down."Cedrick raised his head numbly, his eyes dull. "Tell her to leave. I want to be alone.""You can't go on like this. No one can come back from the dead. Miss Coleman would not like to see you so sad, and there are some details of the funeral that you need to decide."Cedrick leaned back on the bedside table, his eyes bloodshot.Seeing this, Eason added, "Mrs. Mason went to see Ezekiel in the evening."Cedrick's slightly closed eyes snapped open and looked sharp. "What was she doing there?""Mrs. Mason stayed at the Clark Mansion for almost an hour. Then an ambulance came and took Ezekiel to the hospital for emergency treatment. It is said that he cut his wrist, but he was rescued in
