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?"
Chapter 1115In the hotel room, Joanne slowly woke up.Her head hurt a lot as if someone had split it up.She rubbed her temple and sat on the bed, but accidentally touched a man’s chest. She screamed and pulled the quilt to wrap herself up.Then she looked at Patrick’s handsome face."Ahhhhhh..." Joanne didn't know what had happened, and her mind was blank. When she noticed that he was naked, she kicked him off the bed.With a bang, Patrick’s head hit the floor.Joanne found that she was also naked under the quilt. Wrapped in the quilt, she hurriedly got up to find a nightgown to wear. But the moment she stood up, she felt as if ants had been gnawing at her body.Someone had drugged her, and she was in danger now!Joanne ran to the washroom in a panic and took a cold shower to cool herself down. Shaking her head, she planned to leave the room now.But she underestimated the drug.After she took several steps, the feeling became more and more intense. She staggered and fell
Chapter 1116Edwin kicked open the door and got out of the car. His eyes were scarlet and sharp, and his face was cold, which made him look like a bloodthirsty demon."Eddy," Noah gasped, a little frightened by such a sullen Edwin."Where's Joanne?" Edwin's beautiful eyes were icy and menacing."When you were not here just now, I investigated. She is on the 8th floor. Come with me." Noah swallowed her saliva and hurriedly led Edwin upstairs.They were very fast. Edwin walked aggressively.Noah intended to say something else along the way, but Edwin didn't give her a chance to speak. He was striding so fast that she had to trot to keep up with him."Eddy, listen to me. I'm sure Joanne didn't come out to fool around with Patrick on purpose. You have to be calm."Bang!Just before Noah could finish her words, Edwin kicked open the door of the room.Seeing the scene inside the room, Edwin was stunned.He saw Joanne cowering on the bed and holding an ashtray in her hand. Her shou
Chapter 1117Just when Noah was disappointed, suddenly, several black-clad bodyguards rushed in and dragged Patrick out of the room by the arm.In the middle, his knee accidentally hit the leg of the coffee table. The bodyguards did not even have any expression.Hope rose in Noah's desperate heart.She knew that Edwin would not be able to endure this....In the hospital.Joanne was given a sedative, and her restless, writhing body gradually calmed down. Her breathing slowed down.Her long, wet hair dried naturally in the meantime.Edwin's face did not show any emotion. He stood silently by the bed, staring at the woman on the bed.Noah came after him again."Edwin, you sent someone to take Patrick away? After all, he is a movie star. If the news leaks out, it will definitely have an impact on your reputation. Why don't you let him go first? Let's take legal action to solve it, okay?"Edwin's sharp eyes narrowed dangerously. "When did you become so talkative?""I..." Noah
