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
Catelyn went to hail a taxi on the opposite side of the road as she left the hospital.The moment she got into the cab, she received news from the female bodyguard that Stella had regained consciousness.Catelyn was stunned for a few seconds, and she could not believe it. Then, she instructed the driver to take her to Stella as quickly as possible. On the way, she called the female bodyguard and asked her to keep this news a secret. It must not be leaked! Otherwise, Quinn might make another murderous attempt on her!When Catelyn arrived at the examination room, Stella had already woken up, but she had suffered a fractured right leg from the car accident. The moment Catelyn saw Stella, it was like a dream."Mom..." cried Catelyn. She stepped forward to her and held Stella's hand excitedly. She started tearing up, looking worryingly.Stella was still very weak. She stared at Catelyn for a long while before her dilated pupils gradually focused, and then she burst into tears. "Kit
"You… You knew?" asked Stella in a low voice."Do you really think that your relationship with Quinn could deceive everyone? Cedrick had been investigating her from the very start. Did you know that she even tried to seduce Cedrick countless times?" said Catelyn."What... What?" Stella's face flushed red, and her eyes widened suddenly, feeling extremely guilty. "I... I didn't know she did this. You should go and see Old Madam Atherton…""Of course," replied Catelyn. She thought about Quinn having the guts to fake herself as an Atherton and said to Stella, "I just regret that I didn't break your relationship with Quinn more forcefully."Catelyn comforted Stella and tucked her in her blanket."Kitty, you know that I have taken care of you for so many years. Even if you do expose Quinn, please make sure that she is safe from the Athertons, okay?" begged Stella."Even after how she treated you, you still care for her?" asked Catelyn."She's my daughter. After all, I was the one who
Catelyn looked at Cedrick. His question kept echoing in her ears.Since Cedrick already knew the ins and outs of the matter, she could not hide it from him any longer.Or was he just trying to deceive her deliberately?"I don't know what you're talking about," said Catelyn and looked away.Cedrick clenched his teeth. "The old man found Ezekiel first. He found him in a certain prison and then used his safety to threaten to break up with me and even give up custody of the children. That's what happened, am I right?"Catelyn's face turned pale every inch with his aggressive questioning.Cedrick knew everything.Her body trembled slightly, and she still wanted to resist. "It's not true. Everyone said that my father died a long time ago, and I gave up custody of my children because you could give them a better life.""You still dare lie to me?!" Cedrick roared. He stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, staring at her coldly. "The bloody photo, the phone call between you and th
"It's not like that! You're not incompetent. I was the one who was too cowardly. It's my fault for not telling you. Please don't blame yourself like this…" Catelyn choked and put her hand on Cedrick, wanting to hug him.However, Cedrick broke her embrace expressionlessly, looking indifferent like a sculpture."I'll get your father back."After speaking, Cedrick turned around and left. If he stayed any longer, he might be unable to control himself and bring Catelyn home by force.The cold wind whistled past. Catelyn stood in front of the stone steps, staring blankly at Cedrick's back, slowly disappearing.Tears rolled down her cheek.Her sense of reasoning overcame her impulse, and she did not go after him. Catelyn just persuaded herself to be patient and wait a little longer. As long as Old Madam Atherton acknowledges her as her granddaughter, this problem will all be solved easily.Catelyn's whole body seemed to be drained of energy at the moment. She sat weakly on the stone st
Cedrick sat up on the sofa and frowned. He stared at Edwin suspiciously. "Why do you care so much about Ezekiel all of a sudden? Are you hiding something from me?"Edwin originally wanted to talk about Catelyn's life story, but he stopped when he heard Cedrick's words.Catelyn was pregnant with Cedrick's twins before she was twenty years old.Thinking of the pain she had gone through all these years, Edwin thinks Cedrick deserved a little suffering as well!"Ezekiel is Kitty's father, and he was also the root cause of your breakup this time. I care about him as well as you. If we can get Ezekiel back, then you and Catelyn can both be together again, right?" replied Edwin.Cedrick's eyebrows tightened, even more, glaring sharply at Edwin.Edwin did not bother Cedrick's cold gaze and just casually put his slender legs on the coffee table.Cedrick put down the wine bottle and leaned on the sofa. He murmured, "If I knew where Ezekiel is, I wouldn't be sitting here drinking wine, wou
Edwin remained silent for a while, squinting his attractive eyes to stare at Joanne closely.Joanne was slightly terrified as she moved in front of Edwin on her knees, on the couch."I think I know why your grandmother suddenly asked you to marry me already.""Why?""Well, when I went to talk to you about canceling the contract once, I stopped the wrong car. I didn't know that your grandmother was sitting in the car and accidentally said something wrong, which she might've mistaken..."Earlier that day when she heard Edwin addressing the old lady as his grandmother, she was flabbergasted.She realized that she could not blame Edwin completely for their contractual marriage as it was part of her fault that she made such a mistake.Edwin drank some wine with Cedrick in the evening, and coupled with the cold breeze, he felt a little drunk when he had already calmed down.His lips happened to brush against her small earlobe when he tilted his head.Joanne's earlobe turned pinkish.
Joanne hurriedly grabbed a box of tissues and tilted Edwin's head with one hand while wiping the blood with her free hand. "The blood will flow backward if the head is raised too high during a nosebleed, and it'll be bad if the trachea is blocked…"Edwin finally knew why Joanne had the full support of Monique Entertainment; it was her fresh face and perfect body. He had seen countless pretty women, but he was never so aroused by any woman that his nose bled.'I must've drank too much.'Joanne was too anxious when she got off the couch that she slipped. Her body slanted to the side as she fell backward toward the coffee table.Alarmed, Edwin quickly pulled her back, and her thin body slammed into his chest by the pull.On the couch, Edwin put one arm around Joanne's waist while she stared blankly at the enlarged version of the handsome face.The living room was quiet, save only their irregular heartbeats.Edwin suddenly lowered his head, intending to seize her lips.Joanne was o
