Cedrick was baffled by their findings.He asked the police officer, "Are you sure the footage is real?""We've made a thorough check, and there is no trace of editing," said the officer, as to be fair. "In addition, we also need to detain the car at the door, analyze your driving record, and arrange for a specialist to do the appraisal."Cedrick frowned deeply. A complex look flashed across his eyes."I'm going out to make a phone call," he said.The officer immediately stood up. "Do you want me to arrange for someone to accompany you?"Cedrick shot him with a sharp cold glance. "Why? Am I already the murderer before the examination's results come out?""Well, I…" The officer was flustered at this, not knowing how to answer."Officer, the victim was my mother. I believe Cedrick won't try to escape, or he wouldn't even take the initiative to file a case today, would he now?" Catelyn tried to ease the tension in the atmosphere.The officer waved his hand, indicating that Cedrick
Uncle Ford took numerous turns into various alleys, probably to shake off the bodyguard who followed after Catelyn. Eventually, they arrived at a tea house with a quiet environment on the corner of a street.Grandpa Mason was in the private room on the top floor, standing by the window with one hand on the railing, looking out into the distance.The tea house was elegantly decorated as there were elegantly carved handicrafts on the shelves, and the whole house was filled with a faint tea fragrance.After Uncle Ford announced to Granda Mason that the 'guest' was here, he slowly turned.Sporting a black coat, his face was etched with sternness as his eyes gleamed coldly. "Ceddy has you well-guarded, it seems. I had to get rid of his people before I got to meet you.""If you have something to say, please get straight to it." Catelyn was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm. A faint glint could be seen in her eyes.Draco stepped back to the table with a stern expression. "I've remin
"Leave Ceddy, and give up custody of the children. I'll let you reunite with your father," said Draco coldly.Catelyn's heart skipped a beat. She picked up the photos and responded in the same cold tone, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Cedrick about this? If you threaten me with my father, what kind of elder are you?""If you're interested in finding that out, go ahead and tell him. I'm also curious to know how Ceddy has grown over these years, or there's many a good tune played on an old fiddle?" Draco was deeply disinterested, and his expression was even more indifferent. "There are so many prisons in the world. How long do you think he'll take to check all the jails?"Catelyn clenched her fists. "Despicable!""Despicable or shameless; call me whatever you like. I'm Ceddy's grandfather, so I have to think about him. If you continue to be involved with Ceddy, the next photo you see will be Ezekiel's posthumous photo."Blood surged throughout Catelyn's veins, and her shoulders t
Uncle Ford did not say what would happen otherwise, but Catelyn understood.It turned out that Elder Mason not only planned to use her father to threaten her but also planned to get rid of her together if necessary.She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that her father would be hurt. She lost her biological mother when she was a child, and though Stella took care of her, she could not give her the maternal love she wanted most. It had always been her father who supported and encouraged her by her side.Four years ago, her father had an accident, and that placed her in great suffering. Today, she finally had a little bit of hope, knowing that her father was not dead. Still, she could not give up her love and two children.'Happiness is only one step away, but why can't I get it?' she lamented.…After Cedrick had dealt with the traffic brigade, he came to the hospital to pick up Catelyn, only to find that she was not in the hospital at all. When he called the company, Jo
Cedrick enjoyed Catelyn's docility as his palm quietly slipped up along the hem of her clothes. His slender fingers fell to the buttons of her coat, and his thin lips were close to her ear. "This kind of man isn't worth it. She should divorce him as soon as possible."Catelyn did not notice that his hands were starting to undress her and instead continued, "What if my classmate and her husband have a child?""If she hasn't given birth to the child yet, kill it. The child will only trouble her and be a weak spot for her. Your classmate would be tied up to the child, and she'll never be able to get away from that for the rest of her life."Cedrick was right. If she did not agree with Elder Mason earlier that day, he would hurt her father and even threaten her with Miles the next day. After all, Elder Mason always looked down on her, what more her baby, Miles."Isn't there a better answer?" rasped Catelyn as though asking Cedrick and herself.He suddenly licked her earlobe, stretched
Miles and Ollie were excitedly unboxing their newly bought toys."Would you like to change into your new outfit? You'll be very handsome." Catelyn, having brought two sets of small red coats, gazed at the boys' innocent expression with a frail heart."Okay!" answered the boys in unison as they got into the fitting room.The mirror in the fitting room reflected Catelyn's pale face. She thus took out her lipstick from her purse and put on makeup for herself. She then gently patted her cheeks, making herself look livelier, as she sported a grin.The boys then came out of the fitting room. Miles would probably make a gifted athlete as he suddenly jumped over, hugged Catelyn's legs, and hung on her to act like a spoiled child. "Mommy is the best in the world! I love the new clothes you bought for us today. Are we celebrating something?"Ollie pursed his lips shyly. Both sets of new clothes were red with green stripes, which were festive colors only worn during Christmas. The shop assis
Catelyn took Miles and Ollie to eat their favorite dishes. Miles liked spicy food, and Ollie liked light food. Catelyn had been driving tirelessly from one place to another to take the two little guys to have the most fun. Shortly afterward, the two little kids were so tired that they leaned against her arms and fell asleep.They were carefree, like angels sent by God."Miles? Ollie?" Catelyn whispered softly in their ears. Miles was too tired to play anymore and slept very deeply. Catelyn did not want to wake them up, so she took out a blanket to cover them. Ollie was awakened by the slight movement, so he looked at Catelyn in a daze. "Huh?""Tell Mummy, do you have any wish? Mummy will help you make it come true," said Catelyn with her head bowed, and tears fell out again in disobedience.Fortunately, Ollie squinted his eyes coincidently and did not catch that. He muttered, "I want Daddy, Mummy, Miles, and me, the four of us, to be together forever." After saying that, the little
Catelyn sent a message to Joanne in advance, telling her that she would make a visit to her house for a while.For two reasons Catelyn made the visit. Joanne had a good relationship with her, so she was the best candidate when she needed someone to confide in. Besides, Joanne was now living in Shoal Villa, which was owned by Edwin. For the sake of Cedrick's relationship with Edwin, he would not do anything silly or irrational.Knowing that Catelyn was coming, Joanne deliberately waited for her outside the villa. When she saw her getting off the taxi with luggage, she was flabbergasted. "Cat, did you quarrel with Master Cedrick? Why are you here alone?" She hurried to take over the luggage. Fortunately, it was not heavy.Catelyn smiled bitterly and said, "It's a long story. I might divorce Cedrick…" "Divorce?!" Joanne's pitch suddenly rose several degrees and she laughed. "Haha, today isn't April Fool's Day, so stop teasing me! You and Master Cedrick are such a lovely couple, plu
