Chapter 866
"No, I wouldn't dare to do that." Ezekiel waved his hands in fear. "Summer seemed like she had just broken up. That was
probably why she was in the bar."
Of course, Catelyn believed in Ezekiel and was dissatisfied with Eugene's interruption, so she barked back at him, "It's not
surprising that someone went to a bar after they broke up. That doesn’t mean anything."
"Ezekiel, please continue," Sylvie said.
Ezekiel immersed himself in the memories of the past twenty years. He then started to tell the story with a
bittersweetness in his eyes.
"There was once Sunny, who was too drunk, and someone wanted to lure her back home with bad intentions, so I took
her home and took care of her myself. Later, to repay me, she invited me to dinner. Since then, we started to have
feelings for each other..."

"Sunny didn't tell me her identity. She only told me that she was sorry for her family and was too ashamed to see them. I
have been comforting her, but in the end, we planned to visit you after Cat was born. But I never expected that right
after Cat was bom..."
Ezekiel burst into tears. "If Cat hadn't told me that she had found her grandmother, I would never have thought that
Sunny was the daughter of the Atherton family."
"Oh, Summer...my daughter..." Sylvie suddenly collapsed and cried out in grief.
"It's all the fault of the man who broke up with my mom!" Catelyn clenched her fists indignantly. "If it weren't for
him, my mother wouldn't have been afraid to return to the Atherton family, and she wouldn't..."
Summer Atherton had always been a vague memory for Catelyn, living only in her imaginary world.
The image of Summer gradually became fuller as she returned to the Atherton family and learned more about her
mother.
She was said to be a gentle, kind, and generous woman. She never looked down on others because of their
background and always enthusiastically contributed to charities. She was the kindest aunt that Edwin had ever had.
With tears, Sylvie asked, "Have you ever heard Summer mention that man's identity?"
If Sylvie could find out who that man was, causing her to be separated from her daughter and granddaughter for
more than 20 years, she would not spare that man's life.
She could not understand why Summer left the Atherton family for that man.
Ezekiel wiped his tears and shook his head embarrassedly. "Sunny never mentioned her past to me. I was afraid to
make her sad again, so I would deliberately avoid talking about her past. But... I think I remember that the man was
from outside of Sapphire City..."
All of a sudden, the missing piece to the puzzle was finally found.
It was the mysterious outsider who hurt Summer.
Sylvie's blood surged to her head suddenly as she was furious, then she passed out.

"Mom!"
Everyone was shocked as they shouted. Edwin quickly ran toward Sylvie and carried her while instructing Catelyn,
"Grandma is emotionally stimulated. Get the doctor!"
Catelyn did not hesitate and quickly went to call the family doctor.
The news of Summer's death had dealt a heavy blow and made Sylvie look aged.
Even though Catelyn tried to cheer her up with various daily tricks and had the maid prepare a decent diet for her, she
still lost weight quickly, making Catelyn anxious and heartbroken. She had already lost her mother and did not want to
lose her grandmother.
She then asked the long-serving maids the matters about her mother.
One day, when she appeared in front of everyone wearing a long plain white dress with little makeup and long hair on
her shoulders, they almost thought that Summer was back.
She accompanied Sylvie by her bedside all day, and Sylvie often looked at her face in a daze.
In the evening of that day, Sylvie finally showed a slight smile on her face again, and she was willing to eat at the table
with everyone.
Ezekiel stared at Catelyn's face, his eyes full of longing and a stroke of sadness that was hard to detect.
