Chapter 1107The word "died" was the most frightening word for Cedrick at the moment. He gave that woman a vicious stare and continued to stumble upstairs as quickly as he could. There were people all around, but he only felt the freezing chill.In a blink of an eye, he reached the 16th floor.Red flames mixed with dark black smoke filled the air, and his whole vision was blurry.Cedrick took a towel and soaked it in water. Covering his mouth and nose with the towel, he rushed into the scene of the explosion without looking back!Bang!The chandelier fell on the floor, and the sound of sporadic explosions kept ringing through the whole suite.Cedrick's eyes turned scarlet, as if he was about to shed tears of blood.He almost growled, "Catelyn, I'm coming. Don't hide.""Come out and I'll get you out of here.""We're not going to the Atherton family’s house, and I won't force you to abort that child again. Come out ..."The scene of the horrible explosion was full of smoke and
Chapter 1108Grief seemed to overwhelm Cedrick. The smell of blood welled up in his throat again, and he found it hard to breathe because of the thick smoke. After spitting out one mouthful of blood, he blacked out and fell onto the scorching ground.Before losing consciousness, he seemed to see the crystal chandelier above his head shaking with a loud creak and falling towards him…He spread out his arms and closed his eyes in despair.......At Shoal Villa.Edwin made out with Joanne after waking up in the early morning. In a daze, he heard his phone ring.He sat up from the bed with fluffy short hair and picked up his phone with one hand. Then he said in a sexy but lazy voice, "Wait for a moment please."He got out of bed softly, tucked Joanne in, and then went to the balcony to answer the phone.He never saw this caller ID before, and he asked in a low voice, "Who is that speaking?""Are you Mr. Atherton? I'm a police officer from Omille City, and my badge number is XXXX.
Chapter 1109Eason didn't expect Joanne to answer the phone.After hesitating for a moment, he finally acquiesced. "Miss Winters, it was very chaotic here, and many reporters and onlookers are taking pictures. Mr. Mason fainted at the scene of the explosion, and it's hard for us to find others to suppress the news, so I hope you can ask Mr. Atherton to use his influence in the entertainment circle to control the media's spread of this matter..."Joanne's hope had completely evaporated, and her mind was full of the word "explosion".She sat on the ground, numb and absent-minded.Edwin grabbed the mobile phone from her hand and listened to Eason's description of the specific situation. His empty eyes were tinged with extreme anger. "OK. I'll arrange everything and come to meet you in two hours.”"Thank you, Mr. Atherton," Eason added mindlessly.Edwin exploded with rage instantly. "How dare you say this? Catelyn is my cousin, but you failed to protect her. Tell Ced that we're not
Chapter 1110Edwin suddenly put on a fierce expression. "My wife asked if you have found Kitty."Eason lowered his head. After the fire brigade put out the fire, they entered the 16th floor to search and rescue survivors. However, the guests who lived more than ten meters away from the explosion point were dead, let alone those in the explosion center.Cedrick was almost hit by the falling chandelier, and Edwin saved him in time.However, Cedrick clutched a diamond ring and some rags stained with blood in his hand.Those fabrics were obviously from the dress that Catelyn had worn in the morning…Therefore, it was of great possibility that Catelyn had died without a trace, but Eason didn’t have the heart to tell the truth to Joanne and Edwin."You’re just a bunch of losers!" Edwin vented his anger on Eason. Holding Eason's collar in one hand, he snapped, "How about Cedrick? When Cat encountered such a serious accident, where was he?""Mr. Mason wanted to rush into the scene to s
Chapter 1111Even though he was weak, he instinctively stepped sideways to dodge the punch.Cedrick looked at the fist and then at Edwin. Edwin was standing opposite him viciously, like a demon who had just crawled out of Hell, full of hostility.Thinking of the ruins he saw on the sixteenth floor just now and seeing the intact Cedrick, Edwin couldn't suppress his wrath and once again hit Cedrick.Cedrick didn't dodge this time and endured Edwin’s punch.Giving a low moan, he stood unmoved, looking hopeless."What have you promised me?" Edwin grabbed Cedrick’s collar with both hands in fury, wrinkling it. "When I took her to you, I asked you to take good care of her. Why are you safe and sound while she died?"Cedrick gradually returned to normal and stared fixedly at Edwin. "She didn’t die. She is still alive.""Then find her and bring her back!" Edwin's face was distorted with anger. "She's only in her early twenties. This is the best age for a woman. You fail to protect her.
Chapter 1112Cedrick's sad voice was full of self-blame. Even now he still felt that everything was just a nightmare.Joanne had been to the scene of the crime, where there was a strong smell of burnt flesh...In the suite where Catelyn had stayed, the sofa was burned to ashes, and countless bloody shreds were on the floor.Catelyn's body was destroyed in the explosion. Only the ring was left...If the ring had gone, she would have left nothing.Joanne watched Cedrick, who was calm at ordinary times, rummaging in the ambulance crazily. She took a breath to hold back her tears and said in a low voice, "I'll look for it with you. Even if you can't find it, Catelyn won't blame you."In the end, they discovered the ring at the roadside.It must have dropped when Edwin and Cedrick fought just now.Cedrick picked up the ring and pressed it to his chest like a treasure...This was the last thing she left with him.…The police blocked the scene to investigate the murderer and asce
Chapter 1113Granny Atherton was very old. She knew the explosion later than others.Although Edwin prevented the media from reporting the news, the explosion was so serious that some people still talked about it. When Granny Atherton got the news that night, she passed out and was rushed to a hospital, plunging into critical condition.Wearing a transparent oxygen mask, she murmured the names of Catelyn and Summer.Although Joanne had already been expelled by the Atherton family, when she learned that Granny Atherton had fainted, she went to the hospital to see her.She accompanied Granny Atherton for most of the night and didn’t return to Shoal Villa until six o'clock the next morning. She left early because she didn't want to come across other people of the Atherton family, which would save some trouble. In an empty corner, Catelyn's and Granny Atherton’s faces flashed across her mind, and tears welled up in her eyes again...…Edwin and Cedrick worked together to hold Cately
Chapter 1114When Joanne woke up, Edwin hadn’t come back.Joanne suffered from a severe lack of sleep, with deep dark circles under her eyes. She had breakfast even with her eyes closed. The servant advised her to go on sleeping. She declined at the thought that Edwin was still in the hospital alone.After breakfast, she changed her shoes and planned to take some food to the hospital for Edwin.But the servant told her that the breakfast had been delivered to Edwin an hour before.Joanne didn’t have to bother. At this moment, Patrick called her...Patrick had also returned to Sapphire City.They rarely contacted each other.But Joanne still answered the call. "Hello.""Joanne, I'm trapped in Room V608 of the six-star International Grand Hotel. There are many reporters downstairs now, but I feel a little unwell. Can you bring me some medicine?" Patrick stammered while coughing, as if he had a bad cold.Joanne furrowed her eyebrows. "Why don't you ask your manager to help you?"
