Cedrick did come to quarrel with Elder Mason, so he chose to ignore his taunting.Seeing that his insult did not trigger Cedrick, Elder Mason was somewhat disappointed.He cleared his throat and became soft-hearted. Looking at his great-grandson holding a shopping bag, he waved at him and said, "Ollie, come here. I miss you a lot."Ollie glanced at Cedrick, who pursed his lips tightly and said nothing."My my. Do I need permission to hug my lovely great-grandson?" Elder Mason immediately became satirized.He was bored in the hospital for several days, and there was no one to talk to him. The hospital strictly controlled his diet, so he could only eat bland food every day. Because of that, when he saw Ollie, he undoubtedly wanted to be close to him.Cedrick ruffled the little guy's head and said, "Go ahead."Only then had Ollie walked to the side of Elder Mason's bed, took out the delicate gift box from the shopping bag, and passed it to him."Great-grandpa, I heard that you are
"Who's worthy then?! Catelyn? A murderer's daughter and a bankrupt lady? What has she done to make you fall so deeply for her?" Elder Mason's face turned pinkish red because of anger, and he suddenly sat up from the bed."The doctor said you need to rest. I'll go first and see you when I have time."Cedrick turned his head and strode out without the slightest hesitation."Stop right there!" Elder Mason's anger was fueled by Cedrick's sudden leave. He grabbed a pillow by his hand and threw it at him. "Mark my words! If you don't settle the prenuptial agreement and marry Quinn, you'll never see Catelyn again for the rest of your life!"Cedrick's eyes suddenly became deadly cold.With his darkened eyes, he calmly stared into Elder Mason's eyes."Didn't the doctor say that you are so ill that it is difficult to get up?"He was right. His grandfather was pretending to be sick all the while.Elder Mason was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he said, "Are you very dissatis
The childish nursery rhyme echoed in Catelyn's ears, and her restless mind was gradually comforted.She kept telling herself in her mind that dreams were the opposite of reality and her father would be fine.She had already left Cedrick, so Elder Mason should not be hurting her father anymore.…Joanne got very worried when she knew that Catelyn had a nightmare last night.Still, the family reunion banquet held by the Atherton family for Quinn was about to start, so Joanne forced Catelyn to go to the top beauty salon for styling and beauty maintenance.Catelyn did not want to look embarrassed at the banquet, so she did not refuse.That was a high-end clubhouse with a private car park that was occupied with all luxury cars at the moment. Joanne had driven her little Pollo and searched for a parking slot for a long time until a guard opened the entry to a reserved parking slot for her.The two entered the clubhouse and were led by the waiter to the top floor.Coincidentally, the
Quinn and a few bodyguards following behind Old Madam Atherton did not dare to approach hastily.Kelly was so frightened that her face turned pale. She secretly took her phone out and called Edwin."Kitty, what are you looking at? The car is parked over there…" asked Joanne.Catelyn stared in the direction where Old Madam Atherton was being held hostage. "There seems to be something wrong going on over there."Feeling confused, Joanne simply went over toward the crowd.From her line of sight, there was someone blocking her view. Joanne quickly took two steps sideways, and then she saw Old Madam Atherton being held at knifepoint.Fresh, red blood was seen oozing out of the slash wound on her neck.Joanne immediately covered her mouth in shock.This old lady… Wasn't she the one Joanne met that day at Worldwide Entertainment Co. when she was looking for Edwin?Catelyn and Joanne ran over and squeezed into the crowd. At that moment, the burly man was negotiating with Kelly. "Get b
The man watched Catelyn and Joanne squeeze out of the crowd."Really? There's a better way? Tell me!" he exclaimed. Due to his adrenaline rush at the moment, the man's face looked distorted and ferocious, and his eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.Catelyn raised her slender hand and pointed at Quinn. "That is the granddaughter of the Athertons, the jewel in the palm of Old Madam Atherton. The person you're holding now is an old lady. There's no point in taking away her short lifespan. However, this girl is different. She's still young…"Following Catelyn's explanation, the man's eyes lit up and turned to Quinn, staring at her with a terrifying gaze, like a predator looking at its prey.Quinn's entire body went numb. She stared at Catelyn and shouted, "What are you talking about? This is my grandmother! It's none of your business. Get out of my way!""My granddaughter is my precious," Old Madam Atherton suddenly choked and started talking, "She's only in
What?Catelyn is the granddaughter of the Athertons?Hearing this, Catelyn's heartbeat also stopped for a moment.At the same time, a car arrived and stopped not far behind the man.It was Edwin.The man glanced suspiciously at Catelyn and Quinn's faces, and it seemed that Catelyn indeed had a similar resemblance to Old Madam Atherton. "So who's the actual granddaughter?" he shouted."I am," said Catelyn. She took a deep breath and stepped forward, facing the man. "Let the old lady go. I'll be your hostage."Listening to Catelyn's words, the man looked confused.Something seemed wrong about this.As Catelyn was approaching him, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Stop! Are you all trying to make fun of me? Finding a random woman in exchange for my most valuable hostage?"Unknowingly, Edwin came from behind silently. In one instance, he grabbed the man's wrist and broke his bones effortlessly. As the knife fell to the ground, Edwin proceeded to slam the man down to the ground, sup
Quinn actually admitted that Catelyn was Old Madam Atherton's granddaughter.Was this all true?Wasn't Catelyn the daughter of Ezekiel Clark? Does this mean that Summer has not left Sapphire City?Countless thoughts were flashing through Old Madam Atherton's mind at the moment.Looking at her puzzled expression, Catelyn comforted softly, "Take it easy. The situation earlier was critical, and the man was really dangerous. I had to appease him first, so I pretended to be your granddaughter...""So... you're not?" The light in Old Madam Atherton's eyes gradually dimmed.Catelyn actually had some suspicions as well. How could the phoenix bracelet inherited from the Athertons appear in the Clark Family?However, she had no other evidence to prove that her mother was related to the Athertons.Perhaps the bracelet was obtained by accident?Catelyn smiled and shook her head.Seeing the two of them clasping their hands together, Edwin could not bear it any longer. "Grandma, there's so
Old Madam Atherton has never spoken to Quinn with such a harsh tone before.This was all because of Catelyn!"I'm just too worried about you. The doctor said you'd better rest. It's inconvenient to have too many outsiders present and disturb you," said Quinn."Miss Clark, my apologies. Perhaps I've spoiled Quinn." Old Madam Atherton gently apologized to Catelyn with a sincere attitude.Catelyn smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry about it. It's understandable. Anyway, I'll be heading off now."Old Madam Atherton looked at Edwin and said to him, "Eddy, please send Miss Clark off."Edwin nodded calmly.Quinn rolled her eyes. She suddenly got up and said, "Grandma, why don't I go and send Miss Clark off? I'll go buy some food for you as well. You must be hungry!"The old lady said in a stern tone, "If you're not going to do it sincerely, then you don't have to.""Are you still mad at me, grandma? I already apologized earlier," said Quinn, wondering why Old Madam Atherton sudde
