Chapter 817
"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. "1... 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat 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 abandoned her first..." muttered Stella. Her mood was fluctuating
so much as she spoke she was almost out of breath.
Catelyn said, "Okay, I promise you."
She continued sitting on the edge of the bed with Stella for a little longer. Eventually, Stella fell asleep out of
exhaustion.
At that moment, Catelyn had the urge to meet Old Madam Atherton.
As she walked to the garden, the anger within started to cool down.
Quinn just publicly said that Catelyn was the real granddaughter of Old Madam Atherton. If Catelyn were to see her
and claim that Quinn was the one who stole the bracelet from her, would anyone believe it?
In addition to that, the family photo of Catelyn having the bracelet was gone. There was simply not enough
evidence.
Plus, intergenerational kinship testing was also not that accurate.
She had to find a way to expose Quinn.
Catelyn's eyes fell back to the invitation card lying quietly in the bag.
She sat on the stone steps and was in deep thought when suddenly a human figure suddenly shrouded her. she
raised her eyes and saw a familiar handsome face. Her heart skipped a beat as she stared blankly at Cedrick.
It's been many days since she moved out, but the moment she saw him, she immediately thought of those
memories back in Green Islands.
Catelyn stood up from the stone steps, turned around, and left.
Cedrick took a few steps ahead and stood in front of her, blocking her way. Catelyn said to him, "I didn't take the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminitiative to appear in front of you..."
These words had caused layers of ripples in Cedrick's heart.
Yes, she did not take the initiative to appear in front of him.
As long as Cedrick did not come looking for Catelyn, could she keep hiding from him forever like this?
Cedrick heard that Old Madam Atherton was held hostage and that Catelyn stood up to the culprit. God knows what
Cedrick would do if she were actually hurt in the process.
To him, Catelyn was his one and only. If he loses her, he will never find anyone else like her.
Catelyn was caught by his gloomy eyes, and she felt inexplicably flustered, she could even smell the thick tobacco
scent on his body, which was very choking. He must have been smoking a lot lately.
"Cedrick, please let me go. We have broken up," said Catelyn.
Cedrick's eyes turned dark as he heard the words 'broken up'. He said solemnly to Catelyn, "Tell me, how long are
you planning to hide the fact that your dad was being threatened."
