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
Chapter 1081Catelyn failed to notice there were so many reporters outside the hospital at first, but it was too late when she realized this.A large number of reporters gathered around with cameras on their backs.Catelyn just came out of the hospital, and she looked quite gaunt, as if a gust of wind could easily blow her away. Seeing her like this, the reporters pushed forward more desperately, asking questions one after another."Hello, Mrs. Mason, I'm a reporter from Star Weekly. Did you and your father Ezekiel cause the death of Miss Coleman?""Why are you in the hospital? Didn't Mr. Mason come with you?""Is your poor mental state related to Mr. Mason's new lover? You had a bitter quarrel with him at Miss Coleman's memorial service. Will you two get divorced? And what do you think of Mr. Mason's new lover saying that you should give up on him?"The reporters were pushing and shoving to get to the front, and several microphones almost poked Catelyn's face.Surrounded by bo
Chapter 1082Cedrick was not in Mason Group, and Charles was now in charge of company affairs on his behalf. After asking some employees, Catelyn knew that Cedrick was in a newly opened clubhouse. She insisted on seeing Cedrick, and Charles had no choice but to take her there.He didn't trust Catelyn to go there alone.As soon as they entered the door of the clubhouse, they heard deafening heavy metal music. The interior decoration was luxurious and gorgeous, with crystal chandeliers lighting the hall.Cedrick was in this clubhouse."Is Susan a nice person?" Inside the elevator, Catelyn asked Charles absently. She had browsed Susan's Twitter on their way here. Except for some provocative words targeting her, most of Susan's tweets showed off her expensive designer bags and various countries' cuisines. Charles got a little nervous, and he said with a flattering smile, "She is just an online celebrity. As a superficial gold digger, she is not qualified to compare with you!""But
