Sylvie could not see clearly as she started losing consciousness, then she heard Eugene's voice. "I wouldn't have done this if you had been fair and given me one-third of the assets?!"Sylvie was too old. After being dragged by Eugene and the bodyguards one after another, she could not bear the torture anymore.Catelyn was so distressed that she decided to take a gamble.Her eyes slowly fell on the black pistol in front of her…She had just shot two kidnappers not long ago…Seeing Catelyn bending over to pick up the pistol, Cedrick's face changed, and his heartbeat spiked suddenly. Just when her hand was about to touch the pistol, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back."What the hell do you want to do? Have you forgotten what you promised me when you came?"'She never took her own life seriously! Looks like my presentiment is coming true… When will she learn to put her life first before anything?!'Cedrick was extremely disappointed, to the brink of rage.Cedrick's pull was
'Wasn't he afraid that I would kill her in a fit of rage? She's Catelyn's grandma and also his grandma-in-law!' Eugene panicked.Catelyn was also shocked, staring at Cedrick in astonishment, and her heart almost stopped.'He was deliberately angering Eugene. But Eugene's knife was right on Grandma's neck. What if Eugene lost control…?'Cedrick's action was way more thrilling than her plan…"Say something." Cedrick looked at Eugene with cold eyes and said disdainfully, "You asked me to help you subvert the Atherton family by offering me a way to stay with Catelyn. Now you've almost done it. As long as you kill Old Lady Atherton, the Atherton family will no longer stop me from being with Catelyn, and I will help you to sit on the throne of the Atherton family! So what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and kill Old Madam Atherton!""Bullsh*t!" Eugene almost went mad under Cedrick's pressure as the dagger in his hand kept shaking.Cold sweats fell from his forehead, and he roared at C
"No!"Shunk.The muffled sound of the dagger stabbing into flesh was heard, and a few blood droplets spattered on her face. Soon, she passed out from shock…Several seconds later, Catelyn smelled blood, but the expected pain did not come.She opened her eyes and found that Cedrick had stood in front of her, and taken the stab for her. Cedrick wrapped Catelyn with one arm, turned around, and kicked Eugene forcefully.Eugene fell and rolled on the deck and eventually fell into the sea.Splash."Ceddy..." Catelyn quickly got her head out of Cedrick's arms and checked the wound on Cedrick's belly. Her pitch was high as she was in fright and almost burst into tears. "Quick, Eason, take Master Cedrick and my grandma to the hospital! Now!"Ceddy, hold on, you'll be okay… I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."Eason was also quite frightened, so he had someone to bring two stretchers and carried Cedrick and Sylvie into the helicopter....Time flew, and it was the middle of winter.It ha
"No! He was in a car accident and died on the spot..." Joanne's heart beat fast as she spoke.Since she became a member of the Atherton family, she would pay attention to news related to their family.Just two hours ago, Joanne suddenly saw the news that Eugene, who was being taken to the police station from the hospital, was killed on the spot by an out-of-control truck.Even though it was just right outside the hospital, the doctors did their best but still failed to save his life, and his death was soon announced.Catelyn was stunned, and after a while, she answered calmly, "I see.""That's it?" Joanne asked suspiciously, as Catelyn was way too calm."What do I have to do then? Hug him and cry for his death?" Catelyn sighed helplessly, but she was a little shocked.She thought he would serve in jail for the rest of his life, but a tragedy happened and took his life just like that.She had wished for Eugene's death so badly when she and her grandmother were kidnapped.Thinki
Ollie looked at Catelyn worriedly. "Mummy, are you feeling unwell?"Catelyn forcibly suppressed nausea in his stomach, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I have a little cold and stomach discomfort. You can have the crayfish."After a pause, Catelyn added, "Your dad can't eat it as well. The wound on his belly is not completely healed yet.""I know. I'll share it with Miles."Cedrick noticed Catelyn's abnormal reaction and frowned.He thought it might be Catelyn's trauma from shooting the kidnappers with her own hands. She often had nightmares. Several times he woke up in the middle of the night and found her in a daze with her eyes open. Hence, he did not say anything but scooped her some light vegetables.Catelyn blinked at him and then heard his low voice. "My grandpa asked me to bring you and Miles back to venerate the dead and register your name on our family book this weekend. What do you think?"After speaking, Cedrick stared at her for a moment, waiting for her answer."R
"Were you hoping that it was me?" asked Cedrick as he stared at her with burning eyes.Catelyn shook her head. "Of course not. No matter what Uncle Eugene has done, there will be legal sanctions. I hope you will always be innocent," she said honestly."There's no man who is truly innocent in this world," said Cedrick. He raised his hand and rubbed Catelyn's cheek fondly. Feeling that her complexion was a little chilly, he quickly adjusted the temperature of the car's air conditioner by two degrees."You still haven't answered me. Did you do it or not?" said Catelyn."No," Cedrick replied succinctly without any hesitation.He did plan to kill Eugene silently, but he did not want him to die so quickly. Death was better than rotting in prison. However, someone was already a step ahead of Cedrick and killed Eugene.That person was… Alfred Wagner.Cedrick raised his eyebrows slightly. "Since when did you and Alfred know each other?""... It was just a coincidence!" stammered Catelyn
Even if Cedrick had warned Catelyn to stay away from Alfred, he was still her savior. How could she be ungrateful?Her thick winter jacket completely concealed her slender figure. Her lightly powdered cheeks lit up, reflecting the sunlight on her complexion.Alfred held the coffee cup in his hand and took a deep sip. He seemed to be deep in thought.It's unbelievable. The girl whom he thought might be his fiance actually turned out to be Cedrick's wife…If it were any other man, it would be fine.However, it was Cedrick!"I'm sorry, there was traffic on the way. My apologies for making you wait," said Catelyn as she arrived at the cafe, taking off her winter jacket.Her slender body was instantly revealed as she removed her jacket. Alfred looked away. "It's okay. I've just arrived as well. The New Year is approaching, and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be leaving for Fidelysia in two days.""So soon?" Catelyn was a little surprised. Alfred had just been discharged from
Catelyn was very unhappy and had a lot of trouble with Grandpa Mason in the past. Now that the misunderstanding was resolved, their relationship somewhat improved.She was accompanying the boys while they were doing some ink painting.Ollie was the main artist, while Miles was his assistant. Catelyn was also guiding them, and they planned to give this painting to Draco.Cedrick went to the company early in the morning and did not arrive at the Atherton Manor until about ten o'clock.Today, he wore a light-colored casual outfit. His appearance was not too abrupt while standing alongside his wife and the two kids. On the contrary, it made him look even younger.Catelyn also put on cute little jackets and jeans for the two little boys. Many people in the manor praised the kids, saying that they both looked like child stars, which reminded Catelyn of Joanne.These days, it is not uncommon for cute little children to appear on television. Joanne had been pestering Catelyn many times,
