Chapter 1069When Catelyn received Joanne’s message, she was on her way to Janice’s funeral. There was a car accident on the road and cars were blocking the entire road. Catelyn had to get out of the car, walk through the traffic jam, and then take another taxi. The wind was piercing. But when Catelyn hurried to the funeral, she was breathing heavily and her forehead was covered in sweat. "What happened to you?" Joanne had been waiting for Catelyn at the front door. When she saw Catelyn coming, she handed Catelyn a white corsage. Catelyn straightened her black down jacket and put on the white corsage. "I was late because of a traffic jam. Has the memorial service started yet? Did Cedrick allow you to see Aunt Janice?" "Yes, but Cedrick was very sad. He didn't say a word to us." Joanne replied. Catelyn then looked over at Cedrick. Although she had been staying at the Mason Estate for the past few days, she was grieving for Janice all day. In one week, Catelyn fel
Chapter 1070 'Ezekiel's not my dad? I'm defending a liar?' Catelyn was dumbfounded, and her head went numb. She blankly ripped open the folder. It was a paternity test report. Catelyn was stunned when she saw the test report, 'No Genetic Ties'. "Cedrick, do you think I believe this report?" Cedrick gave a sneer. He had expected that Catelyn would not believe him even though she saw the report with her own eyes and that even though Ezekiel was not Catelyn's biological father, she would defend him. But Cedrick was determined to avenge Janice's death! He wanted Ezekiel to pay with his life. "Believe it or not, but I’m telling you, Ezekiel didn’t spend the past four years in prison. He had come back to Sapphire City a year ago and was caught by the surveillance of a shopping mall. Now he's back in the city again. He must be up to something. Killing Aunt Janice is just part of his plan..." "No, I don't believe you! You want me to give up on my dad... But even if he wasn't
Chapter 1071 "Dad! Stop! Please! Don't beat my dad..." A trace of blood seeped out of the corner of Ezekiel's mouth. Catelyn's eyes turned red. She tried to rush over to stop the bodyguards, but she was tackled by them by the wrists. She couldn't get to her dad.Catelyn could not break free of the bodyguards. She could only watch Ezekiel being kicked. The bodyguards’ fists hit Ezekiel repeatedly. Catelyn felt the pain in her heart. Catelyn hissed at Cedrick, "Cedrick, can't you see that my dad is bleeding? Even if he is guilty, he should be subjected to the court to sentence his punishment! You have no right to punish him! You're killing him..." Cedrick stood there indifferently, watching Ezekiel thrash around on the floor.He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Janice's photo hanging in the middle of the wall. 'Aunt Janice, are you happy now?' Suddenly, Ezekiel spat out a mouthful of blood. It freaked Catelyn out. 'What should I do?' Catelyn thought to herself
Chapter 1072Cedrick really intended to take Ezekiel’s life today! Catelyn had wanted to settle this matter in a peaceful way, so she didn't tell her grandmother about it or turn to Edwin for help. She humbly begged Cedrick to let Ezekiel go, but it seemed there was no way Cedrick would let Ezekiel go! Catelyn bit her lower lip, stopped crying, and stared at Cedrick with stubborn eyes, "Are you sure you won't give him a chance?" Cedrick sneered, "Has he ever given Aunt Janice a chance?" Cedrick then instructed the bodyguards to drag Ezekiel over to Janice's coffin. Ezekiel slumped to the floor, gasping for breath. Cedrick looked down at Ezekiel, took out a pistol, and tossed it in front of Ezekiel. He hissed, "Don't you feel guilty? Kill yourself! After you're dead, I will let go of your family." Ezekiel timidly turned to the black pistol. 'Even though it was Janice's funeral and there were a lot of guests, Cedrick showed no fear...' 'He really wanted me dead
Chapter 1073 Some women let out frightened screams. The pistol in Ezekiel's hand was knocked out of place by Catelyn and the bullet shot the wall. Catelyn fell hard to the floor. She felt a pain in her belly... Cedrick rushed over to her and took her in his arms. He stared at her face. His rapid breathing and furrowed brows gave him away. He was obviously worried about Catelyn, and his arms trembled slightly. "Are you out of your mind?" Catelyn saw the worry in his tone, and she sensed a glimmer of hope. Cedrick still cared about her. He wasn't as ruthless as he appeared to be! 'Maybe my dad could have a chance...’ "Let go of my dad, please?" "Take Mrs. Mason away!" Cedrick commanded coldly. He ignored Catelyn's plea. Two bodyguards walked up to Catelyn and uttered in an emotionless tone, "Mrs. Mason, please come with us." 'How can I leave? 'What will happen to my dad if I leave?' "No! I'm not leaving! I want to stay with my dad!" Catelyn rose f
Chapter 1074"I don't need you to tell me what to do! I'm giving you two choices. You can either take Catelyn away or turn against me!"Edwin looked at Catelyn, who had a pale face. Catelyn was now clutching Edwin tightly like she was clutching a straw. She was begging him with her tearful eyes. Joanne also ran over, and she said to Cedrick, "If you want to get back at Mr. Clark, you can take him to the police. Why would you want to kill him? If Mr. Clark died here today, do you think Miss Coleman could rest in peace?" Edwin said nothing more. He took Catelyn's hand to make his position clear. Feeling the warmth in her palm, Catelyn threw a grateful gaze at Edwin. Seeing Catelyn and Edwin standing together against him, Cedrick was enraged. He sneered, "Let's see if you can defend Ezekiel today!" Immediately after that, a large group of black-clad bodyguards entered the hall, and they blocked the entire place. There were quite a lot of bodyguards, but Edwin was not
Chapter 1075Catelyn looked at Cedrick. He had a stern face and showed no sign of backing down. She took a deep breath and said to Edwin, "I'm ready." Catelyn didn't know what else she could do except take this solution. She couldn't let Cedrick kill her dad. Maybe Cedrick was right: Ezekiel had secrets and they weren't related by blood, but she couldn't let Cedrick force Ezekiel to death. Edwin turned to Cedrick again, but Cedrick ignored him. He looked straight at Ezekiel, which showed that Cedrick was willing to accept the bet. With Joanne's help, Ezekiel managed to stand up. He had a touch of fear in his eyes, but he had no choice. Without Catelyn and Edwin, he would surely die here today. He said to Catelyn in a choked voice, "Catelyn, don't take the risk. These are none of your business..." "I'll take the first shot!" Catelyn didn't want to give Cedrick any time to hesitate. She picked up the pistol and pointed it at her temple. Cedrick instantly clenched h
Chapter 1076A dull sound was heard, but there was no bullet.Ezekiel took the pistol tremblingly. Even if there was a one-third chance of dying, he had to shoot at his temple in public.But there was still no bullet!Ezekiel was sweating profusely and put down the pistol. "Catelyn, only the last two magazines are left...""If God chooses me to atone for Aunt Janice’s death, take good care of my children." Catelyn's forehead was dripping with sweat. It would be a lie if she said that she was not afraid, but she had no way out. Her hands and feet were constantly shuddering with fright at this moment.Only two shots remained. Either she or Ezekiel would die on the spot.Catelyn’s eyes became darker and darker...So did Cedrick’s face.When Catelyn prepared to shoot at her temple...Crack!Cedrick went crazy suddenly. He pushed all the trays on the coffee table onto the ground. Like an enraged beast, he snatched the pistol from Catelyn's hand in a flash and threw it away. Gla
