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
Chapter 1077‘There is no bullet in the last two magazines.’Suddenly, Eason thought of Edwin. ‘Edwin must have secretly emptied the magazines of the pistol. He has been playing in casinos and nightspots, so he is adept at cheating. It’s no wonder that he has deceived all of us.’All of them assumed that there must be a bullet in the six magazines.But they neglected the fact that Edwin wouldn’t put Catelyn at risk...In other words, they worked together to deceive Cedrick.…"I’m sorry...""Forgive me, Ceddy...""My baby. Protect my baby..."On the way to the hospital, Catelyn was unconscious, but she kept murmuring these words over and over again.Joanne talked with her in the ambulance to cheer her up, crying sadly.After Catelyn was rushed to the emergency room, Edwin and Joanne stayed outside anxiously.Ezekiel also came to the hospital, though he was very weak. Joanne wanted a doctor to examine him. After all, Catelyn saved him, having risked her life.Ezekiel was
Chapter 1078These people were Ezekiel, her unborn baby, Aunt Janice, and Ceddy."Don’t call her Aunt Janice! You are not worthy of her kindness.""You chose Ezekiel, not me!""Ezekiel is the murderer, but you are willing to protect him even if risking your life...""We’re done. I won't marry a murderer's daughter. Catelyn, get out. I don’t want to see you anymore. You can’t make it up to my aunt..."Countless words were heard, like needles piercing into her heart."No..."She covered her chest, feeling so anguished that she could hardly breathe. Suddenly, she sat up, but unexpectedly stretched her abdomen...Joanne had been sitting beside Catelyn. When she saw her wake up, she hurriedly held her shoulders to remind her to be careful."My baby, my baby...""Your baby is with you. Don't worry!" Joanne poured her a cup of hot water while comforting her. "But the doctor said your baby was in danger. You'd better stay in bed for the next few days."Catelyn bit her lower lip tig
Chapter 1079The woman looked like a prostitute. Even in the past, Edwin would not take a glance at women like her.However, Cedrick took a look at Susan and then opened his mouth...Susan took the opportunity to pour the red wine into his mouth.Cedrick didn’t refuse. Some red wine flowed from his lips, and he looked sexy and allured. Susan's eyes were glistening with infatuation. "Wow! Master Cedrick, you’re great. How about eating some fruit?"Susan picked up several grapes, her fingernails painted red. Edwin couldn't stand it anymore.He went to the speaker to turn off the music and then turned on the light.Suddenly...The originally dark orange room lit up, and the women in the private room were stunned for a moment. When they found it was Edwin who switched on the light, none of them dared to say anything."It’s over. Get out," Edwin ordered. The women had no choice but to leave reluctantly.Susan did not forget to place the grapes into Cedrick's mouth. He ate them, to
Chapter 1080Edwin immediately advised taking Cedrick home.Cedrick stood up expressionlessly, wiped off the sweat on his body with a towel, and went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes."Do you feel that your boss's menopause has come?" Edwin joked with Eason while they were waiting for Cedrick.Eason felt sad. "Mr. Atherton, did you say it seriously?""Certainly! I’m serious." Edwin raised his eyebrows with a half-smile."Mr. Mason has been in low spirits since Miss Coleman’s burial. I'm really worried that he's going to get sick." Eason sighed helplessly."Don't worry. Cedrick has vented his feelings after having such a fight tonight." Edwin believed that Cedrick would return to normal soon. Ten minutes later, Cedrick came out after changing his clothes. But unexpectedly, he ordered, "Eason, drive me to Mason Group.""Mr. Mason, it's already past one o'clock in the morning. Are you still going to the company?" Eason was shocked and secretly exchanged glanc
