Chapter 790

Author: Velvet Antler
"What did you say to Catelyn the day before yesterday?" Cedrick asked, ignoring Grandpa Mason's question. His tone was cold and aggressive.

Draco slowly sipped his tea.

It was no surprise to him that Cedrick would eventually piece everything together and come here to question him about this.

If he did not have this ability, Grandpa Mason would never allow him to take over the Mason Group.

"Whatever I say to that woman is to make her feel more conscious that the Athertons have found their granddaughter. If she loves you, she will leave you as soon as possible and allow you to marry Quinn. Seeing you angry like this, she probably already did it. A wise decision," said Grandpa Mason.

"I'm not a chess piece in your palm. I'm not that stupid." Cedrick's eyes were full of anger.

The bodyguard had told him that while Catelyn was on her way to the hospital, she was taken to see Grandpa Mason.

The two had a conversation for nearly half an hour. When everything was done, Catelyn's entire

    All she asked was a clean break with Cedrick so that Grandpa Mason would hand over her father. She knew she should focus on the bigger picture and stop indulging herself already.Besides, she had one more thing to find out—the truth behind Stella's car accident.Days ticked by, and it was already the day to take the laboratory results of the needle.Joanne was afraid that Catelyn was pretending to be calm, but she undeniably looked composed."Cat, are you okay?" asked Joanne worriedly."I'd be lying if I said I'm fine." Catelyn tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "But I can't live in the shadows forever. I need to get myself out of this little comfort zone of mine, or I might not be able to make it before Dad comes back."She had a feeling she might never meet a man better than Cedrick in her life and would not fall in love with other men again. However, she would hide her feelings toward him deeply in her heart until the day she would hear he was thriving.Joanne gave Cately

    Joanne's eyes widened as a twinkle of hope flashed in them. She stretched her neck, anticipating the photos.Edwin looked away from her white neck, calmly took out his phone, clicked on the album, and pressed the TV-sharing button.The pattern of the phoenix bracelet instantly appeared on the LCD TV screen in the living room. Before Edwin could introduce them to the two, Catelyn shrank her eyes suddenly, staring at the pattern, and asked, "Mister Atherton, are you saying that this bracelet is the inheritance bracelet of your family?""Yes. It was passed on to the eldest daughter of the next of kin, but my aunt fell out with my grandmother twenty years ago and took this bracelet with her. It's been said that it has disappeared ever since."Noting Catelyn's peculiar behavior, Edwin added, "Have you seen it before?""My mother used to hang a family photo in the bedroom, and there was a bracelet that was very similar to this one, but I'm not sure if that was the one."The family photo had

    "That portrait should be on the wall in my mother's bedroom.""Alright, then." Although Edwin was anxious to see the family portrait, he did not forget to instruct a maid to help Joanne ice her wound.Joanne sighed. "It's so good to be rich, Cat. I'm telling you, Cat: All it takes is a ring of the bell on my bedside. Whether I wanted to eat or play, the maids would bring it to me without me leaving the bed. No wonder so many people want to be capitalists."Catelyn laughed and joked, "Well, you've already upgraded to a rich lady.""I'm not!" Joanne was very self-aware. She patted her purse and said bluntly, "My savings haven't reached thirty thousand dollars, which is far from the definition of being rich!"Monique Entertainment relied only on Joanne to make money over the years, yet they gave her only a small proportion of the shares. In addition, she had been contributing to charity work, so there were not a lot of savings in her account.Catelyn was lying on the couch with her,

    "Miles, let me sing you a nursery rhyme. The wheels on a bus go round and round..." Joanne quickly shifted her attention to Miles and sang to him, all to avoid leaking more information.Miles then ran into the villa, looking for Catelyn up and down.Joanne did not stop him. 'How heartless can an old man be to take a mother's children and the last bit of happiness away from her?'However, after a few minutes, Miles rushed to her anxiously and shouted, "Godmother, where's Big Kitty? Didn't you say she was resting upstairs? Where is she?"Joanne shot up from the sun lounger instantly. "She's in the first guest room on the left on the second floor. Let's go, I'll take you to find her."Miles held Joanne's hand and they paced to the guest room. Although he was just a kid, he ran so fast that Joanne had to trot after him to catch up.When Miles pushed open the door of the guest room, the room was empty and the quilt was neat, but the luggage was there and Catelyn was nowhere to be seen

    Cedrick hurried to the cemetery. After receiving an affirmative reply, saying that Catelyn was there, his mind was finally at ease.He walked into the cemetery quietly but hastily, and when he was close to where Catelyn was, he deliberately slowed down so as to not startle her.In the distance, he saw a slim figure leaning on a tombstone. The lifeless monument made the woman look a little more delicate.Catelyn could vaguely hear faint footsteps behind her before she was engulfed in the dark shadow of a man. Catelyn did not need to turn to know who it was—no one but Cedrick would come here.She rapidly blinked away her tears, stood up, and walked past him as if nothing happened."Why did you come here?" Cedrick took a big step in an oblique direction and stood in front of her, halting her in her steps.Catelyn's eyes slowly moved up along his shiny, black leather shoes, black trousers, and high-end suits, and eventually stopped at his deep eyes. She then said firmly, "I didn't ke

    The warmth in Cedrick's eyes dissipated at that very moment. They turned cold and deadly like the water in an abyss. "Is that what you want to hear?""No lies In front of the dead. Yes, that's what I want.""Hah! Very well, then!" Cedrick guffawed in anger, no longer bargaining with Catelyn. "If this is what you want, then I'll do as you wish."Catelyn felt a chill and forced herself to stand firm. "Thank you."Cedrick was dying to know what she was thinking as he warned furiously, "Don't ever appear in front of me again, or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"With that, Cedrick left without looking back. He swore that he would never take the initiative to find and please her like a simp anymore.To be more precise, it was futile to ask her anything until the truth was made known.As she watched Cedrick walking away, Catelyn clasped a hand over her mouth as she cried in agony, no longer able to hold back the sadness in her heart anymore. She could only bite the back of

    Stella was Quinn's biological mother!'Why would she do that? Was it because she was worried that Stella would reveal that she was not the granddaughter of the Atherton family?!' Catelyn pondered in fright.She never wanted to expose Quinn. All she asked for was just for her father to return safely to her!Quinn could have enjoyed a happy life with that fake identity she declared to own. Catelyn could not comprehend why she attempted to kill Stella even with all this.If Quinn were the murderer, she would never spare her!Catelyn resisted the urge to find Quinn for a showdown in the end because there were still too many doubts to be sorted out. Even if she went to confront Quinn, she would not admit anything; it would only alert her.After receiving the report, the two went to Stella's ward to make a visit.The doctor told them that he could not foresee Stella waking up.Catelyn was afraid that Quinn would secretly come to the ward and poison Stella again, so she asked Edwin to

    Quinn subconsciously glanced at the maids behind her.Seeing their expressions were calm as usual, she continued, "I admit that you helped me when I was living in Sapphire City, but it doesn't mean that I can't live my life. Are you jealous that I've finally met my grandmother and become the most respected daughter of Miss Atherton? If you don't want to come, you can just be honest."Catelyn did not care whether or not she was truly grateful to her.Just as Quinn was about to place the invitation back into her purse, Catelyn quickly snatched it. She started to read the words written on the card.[With the joy we share in finding my granddaughter, the Atherton family has specially organized a dinner party and sincerely requests the pleasure of your company.]The signee was Granny Atherton."Yes, why would I not want it?" Catelyn closed the invitation slowly and looked at Quinn with cold eyes. "You said that you're sincerely inviting me, so how rude would I be to reject it? You may

It will bring you a long, happy life together."The vendor stared at Catelyn with eager eyes, frantically trying to sell his products.Cedrick looked down at Catelyn tenderly and asked, "Do you like it?"Catelyn picked up a charm to take a look, smiling, "It's not bad, but is it too expensive?"The charm was a good symbol. However, it was just casually made, not worth that much. This vendor was clearly trying to rip them off."As long as you like it, it has value."Cedrick raised his chin. Eason immediately handed over 10 hundred-dollar bills.The vendor gazed at the dollar bills with glowing eyes, took them with trembling hands, and chose a perfect charm for Catelyn and Cedrick.Cedrick took the charm and connected Catelyn's hand and his with it.His long, slender fingers moved.

Evelyn actually cheated on him!""Her lover is too ugly. Evelyn has terrible taste.""Ahhh, Evelyn moaned so lewdly in the video. How can this man compare to Mr. Mason?

He nodded and said, "You did a good job."To create the illusion that Evelyn cheated on Cedrick, Eason used AI technology to change Ralph's face into a stranger's in the videos of Evelyn and him having sex.

Although your love makes me sick, I have kindly prepared a gift for you."Evelyn looked at him in fear and confusion when she saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.The visitor was just as tall, straight, and handsome as Cedrick. It was amazing to see any difference in their appearance."It's you? You're Ralph?" exclaimed Evelyn, her stomach lurching.For so many nights, she had sex with Ralph, the imposter. No wonder the baby she gave birth to was so disgusting too."Little bitch, long time no see. I missed you so much."Ralph grinned and walked toward Evelyn with lustful eyes."Go away! Go away!"Evelyn frantically waved her pillow, trying to repel Ralph, but these attacks were like a kitten's playing in Ralph's eyes.Ralph smiled evilly, dragged Evelyn down from the hospi

    Chapter 1940A few seconds later, she tore up the piece of paper regardless and looked at Cedrick with crazy eyes, "I'm your wife! It's Mrs. Mason in name only! All of this is a lie. My daughter is your child! And could only be your child!"Cedrick sneered, his deep eyes icy, "Think what you want, as long as you're happy."His voice was deep, pleasant, and charming, but what he said sent chills down Evelyn's spine.Evelyn looked at him incredulously. The smile on Cedrick's lips became even more fascinating. "There's something I forgot to mention. Are you sure the person you married is me? My wife is Catelyn from the beginning."Previous images flashed through Evelyn's mind. She thought of Cedrick's different attitudes. His passion, his impatience... Scene by scene, frame by frame, it was like a horrible movie, making her shiver."Cedrick, you indeed lied to me..."Evelyn stared at Cedrick with hatred, her eyes paranoid and mad."Even if my child is not yours and I didn't marry

"Eason."Eason respectfully carried the baby over to the hospital bed. "Mrs. Mason, please."Evelyn took the child in surprise and lifted the swaddling blanket on the baby.Although it was a girl, Evelyn gave birth to her. Naturally, Evelyn loved her.Yet the moment she saw the baby's face, Evelyn's face suddenly changed, and she quickly threw the baby away, leaning down and vomiting."No, it's not my baby! It's not my baby!"'How can she possibly be my child?' The baby was deformed. Her little face was bruised. Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all tightly grown together. She looked extraordinarily horrible..."Mrs. Mason, this is your baby!"Eason nimbly caught the baby that almost fell to the floor and brought it back to Evelyn."Take her a

Now the news was all about her and Cedrick being in love.Yet only she knew that Cedrick always left soon after he came, never staying longer than fifteen minutes.'Is it really because he's too busy working?'When she thought of Summer and Braylon, who came in and out together affectionately, a glint of jealousy flashed in Evelyn's eyes.If only Cedrick could always stay by her side as Braylon did to Summer.Soon, it was Evelyn's due date."Cedrick, I'm so scared..."Evelyn grabbed Cedrick's sleeve, sweating in pain.

The condescension she had when she first arrived disappeared.'Braylon is no ordinary man. What if he really wants to help Summer get back at me?'Evelyn subconsciously rubbed her belly. She mustn't let anything happen to her child. She called the nurse and said coldly, "Ask the doctor to come here! I suspect someone has poisoned me."The nurse gave her a frightened look and murmured, "Mrs. Mason, how is this possible?""I don't care! Go get the doctor to check everything in the room. I will not allow anyone to hurt my child!" Evelyn yelled in a stern voice as her eyes went crazy.The nurse called the doctor in fear, and the doctor came, checked everything, and said resignedly, "Mrs. Mason, we assure you that everything here is qualified and absolutely free of any harmful substances. You can relax."Eve

    Chapter 1936Evelyn nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile, "Did Cedrick arrange this for me?"Eason thought to himself, 'Mr. Mason has no time for her.' Yet he smiled, "Of course, Mrs. Mason. If there's nothing else, I'll go back now."Evelyn smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. There are so many nurses here. They can take care of me."Cedrick had arranged the best labor and delivery room for Evelyn. Three nurses worked 24-hour shifts, so she would have someone to serve her at any time.Evelyn walked into the glass corridor, looking out at the sunshine and green grass. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure."Who's that woman on the bench?"Evelyn's eyes went cold as she frowned and asked the young nurse next to her.The young nurse came over and asked with a puzzled look, "Mrs. Mason, which one do you mean?" "The old woman on the bench."A sneer appeared on Evelyn's lips, and her tone was acerbic.The nurse gave Evelyn a surprised look. "This lady is Mrs. Hensley, who live

    Chapter 1935Cedrick was silent for a moment, counting the time. Indeed, Evelyn's due date was approaching.The smile on his mouth grew colder as he thought about what was going to happen."I'll have Eason pick you up.""I know you're busy. It's okay to have Eason pick me up, but I want to see you as soon as I get back."Evelyn smiled sweetly, not bothering with these details.As long as Cedrick cared about her, it was the same whoever came to pick her up.Evelyn touched her round belly, and her expectant face gradually became worried.'It's said that a sharp belly predicts a son and that a round belly predicts a daughter. My belly is so round. Will I have a daughter?'Meanwhile, Cedrick hung up the phone, casually threw it to the bedside, lay back down, and pulled the soft Catelyn into his arms.Half asleep, Catelyn heard Evelyn speaking arrogantly on the phone and slumped against Cedrick's chest."Evelyn's coming back?"Cedrick nodded slightly, a little impatient.
