Chapter 853

Author: Velvet Antler
Catelyn promised Stella that Quinn would be safe.

"I've hired a criminal defense lawyer for her. The lawyer said that she's not the mastermind but an accomplice, so the sentence shouldn't be too severe if she has a good attitude and is willing to cooperate."

Catelyn also told Stella the truth that Quinn would not be acquitted.

She was a criminal who attempted to poison her biological mother, which severely conflicted with the law and morality.

Stella secretly shed tears, and her eyes were covered with a gray fog of despair. "I tried to stop her long ago, but she didn't listen… Maybe it's best for her to be imprisoned. There's no material temptation there, a—and maybe she can change her mind. In the future when she's released, she'll get to embrace a new life."

The sky was gloomy, and it started drizzling when Catelyn and Cedrick left the hospital.

Cedrick's car was parked in the parking lot.

He was about to enter the driver's seat, but Catelyn stopped him, and the atmosphere

    Though Cedrick interrupted Catelyn's contemplation, she did not want to assert unnecessary thoughts toward him. Everyone could have a little secret."If you want to tell me, I'll listen. If you don't, I'll respect your decision."After all, it was already a fact that Stella was injured in the accident. Catelyn, however, believed something else was at play.Otherwise, he would not have taken her to the accident center so confidently and asked for a video that was unfavorable to him to be investigated. That would put him in great danger and make him the biggest suspect in the case he was the culprit.Cedrick stopped. There was not only Catelyn in his eyes, dazzling like stars, but also bitterness and self-deprecation."If it's a good thing, why wouldn't I tell you?"It was precisely because he was at his toughest and weakest when the disease attacked that he did not want to let Catelyn see that side of him, discover his emotional fragility, or even love him out of mere sympathy.A

    Catelyn noticed that Cedrick was rather displeased by her actions. After having an instant thought, she held his arm and coaxed, "Look, it's still raining. You wouldn't want it to get hit by a car, right?"Cedrick was aroused by her intimacy.Catelyn, noting that his expression grew grim and fearing he would make her dump the puppy, took the lead and ran to the nearby supermarket, bought a blue woven basket, and carefully put the puppy into it."There, your car won't get dirty now." She smiled.Cedrick took the basket with a serious look and wordlessly walked back to his car, all while a giggling Catelyn followed after him at a distance."Do you or do you not want to go home?" Cedrick growled without looking back when he saw that Catelyn was no longer by his side."I'm coming!" She quickly chased after him and leaned on his arm.As her coat was soiled when she held the puppy, Cedrick then took off her coat and put his suit on her.The two of them got into the car soon, and Cedr

    Cedrick scoffed at Catelyn's words."Well, shall we go buy some dog ​​food for the puppy now?" Catelyn excitedly suggested.Cedrick's face was dull as though a haze shrouded him. "Grandpa Albert will buy it. I'll take you home first—it's getting late.""I want to be the very first person who buys food for it! And it needs a lot of other things too. Just take it as a walk with me, please."Besides the reason for buying food for the puppy, Catelyn also did not want to go back to Atherton Manor so early.It was best to wait until Sylvie went to bed before she went back.Seeing her being so kind to a stray dog, Cedrick got a bit green-eyed and bitter. "You're more excited to own a dog than to go out to dinner with me."Catelyn did not notice Cedrick's overflowing jealousy at all as she smiled. "Because it's been so long since I last owned any pet. It feels just like Miles and Ollie growing potted plants for the first time. They were very excited, and they'd water the plants every da

    Catelyn felt like Cedrick was hard to comprehend. 'Didn't we go through this already?'She reached out to take the puppy back and said with a hint of resentment, "No. This puppy is destined for us, and I'll take care of him. If you don't want to, then I'll ask my cousin to do it."Cedrick looked at her for a while with a livid expression.Seeing her stubbornly unwilling to let go, he picked up the woven basket in silence and hinted for her to put the puppy back in.Catelyn quickly put the puppy back in the woven basket and repeatedly reminded them not to abandon her puppy behind her back.Cedrick was even more annoyed by that.'Is a dog more important than me now?'Cedrick put the basket on the backseat and closed the door, not wanting to be annoyed by the puppy anymore.Before leaving, Cedrick said, "Your father is already on his way back to Amarica. He'll probably arrive at Sapphire City tomorrow afternoon. I will take you to pick him up.""Really?" Catelyn was surprised.S

    After a long period of investigation and interrogating all the guests and staff who stayed at the hostel where Cedrick waited the day of the accident, Eason found a video.It was a short video of a young couple climbing a mountain nearby. They habitually shot a video and uploaded it to social media, but their camera happened to catch a certain…scene.Cedrick stared at the video that Eason brought back, and his pupils shrank in sheer shock.In the video, it was clear that 'Cedrick' was walking toward a parking lot.Inadvertently looking at the camera, his eyes gleamed with pure malice, one that could only be from a demon that crawled out of hell.He was in a black suit, the same as what he was wearing that day, except there was a black skull necklace on his neck.This detail matched the confession Stella made.This man, wearing a particular skull necklace, hit Stella with his car.The time on the lower right corner of the video showed that it was 7 p.m., which was the same time

    Cedrick ruled out the possibility of having a twin brother, but another thought came into his mind: a half-brother."Did my father, besides my mother, have any other woman out there?"Draco was sipping tea, and when he heard this, he glared at him angrily. "If Yuv had another woman out there, you wouldn't be my only grandchild!"Cedrick was silent for a while. He, too, did not want to doubt his father who had long passed, but the appearance of another 'Cedrick' in the video was just too odd for him. He had to figure this out on his own.'Is it a biological brother of mine, or does someone else have plastic surgery just to look like me?'"Is it possible that he had another woman but you didn't know?"Draco felt that his majesty as the elder of the house was being challenged. "Since he met your mother, he rarely came home. How do I know if he has any other woman outside? It's better to ask your aunt. Maybe she knows something!"Cedrick was sure that the amount of information that Draco h

    "I can't do CT examinations and X-rays without the person being here. It seems the surgery was long ago. The incision scars on his face have fully recovered, so it's difficult to tell, but I'm sure that his nose has undergone external reduction surgery. See, the cut is right here...""So he had plastic surgery?" Cedrick stared at the lower corner of the bridge of his nose where Yael pointed.Yael nodded with vigor. "I'm eighty percent confident. Get him here so I can do a more detailed appraisal. By the way, who is this person? Why does he look like you? Can your wife tell the difference? In case he pretends to be you to sleep with your wife..."Cedrick glared at him. "If you still want me to continue funding your medical research, you better shut up."Yael avoided Cedrick's glare and answered cheerfully, "You're the boss! You got me!"Cedrick collected all relevant data analysis materials.The truth behind Stella's accident was revealed.Sapphire City had a man who looked exact

    "I've arranged for Eason to track down the whereabouts of this guy, so don't panic," said Cedrick."But since the man has stolen your appearance and is following you, it shows that he's been planning this for a long time, and I don't think it'll be difficult to catch him." Catelyn was thinking of asking her grandmother for a few well-built bodyguards tomorrow to watch over Miles and Ollie at every hour of the day.The two chatted for a while, but Catelyn's screen suddenly froze on Cedrick's handsome face. "Hello? Can you still hear me?"She fiddled with her phone and even tried another spot in the room, but the video remained frozen. Not long after, however, she realized that the internet was cut off.Wanting to check the internet modem, Catelyn opened the door and saw Kelly standing nearby it, startling her. "Aunt Kelly? You scared the lights out of me!"Kelly straightforwardly reminded her, "Miss Clark, there is an internet ban in the manor. You should go to bed already."Catel

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. Even the slightest movement was very pleasant. Coupled with the romantic atmosphere, it was so beautiful.Joanne got excited as she watched them, clamoring, "I want o

Evelyn framed Mrs. Mason at the mall with a big belly.""Even a beast won't harm its children. Evelyn risked her child's life! How can she be so cruel?""Bah! Mr. Mason is handsome and rich. 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? I want to vomit..."As people online questioned and criticized Evelyn, her reputation completely collapsed, and she quickly became notorious.Cedrick became the victim of this incident.Cedrick sat in the car, looking at the responses on the Internet. 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.

    Chapter 1941Evelyn's voice paused, and her eyes were vicious and angry as she questioned hysterically, "But I did everything out of love for you!"Cedrick wanted to laugh. "Thank you, Ms. Swan. 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

    Chapter 1939"I'm satisfied," Cedrick smiled dangerously, his eyes emotional.It was a smile that made Evelyn feel extremely alarmed."Then ... show me the baby."Cedrick looked at Evelyn condescendingly, his deep eyes full of coldness. "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

We'll have an easy time when she has given birth."The doctor reprimanded and turned to go back to his office.Inside the room, Evelyn scrolled through the videos and news with a bitter smile.These days after she came back, Cedrick visited her every day and was photographed by many reporters and media. 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. "I can't take it anymore. I want a C-section with general anesthesia..."With a cold ligh

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.
