Chapter 768
"Your mother was in the hospital because of a car accident, and you're hiding the news from me?!" Cedrick ignored
her accusation, and his expression became fierce. "She's injured and needs help. You should tell me that instead of
trying to change the subject of the topic! What the hell are you doing? Are you guilty?!"
"I'm not! I'm just... I..." Catelyn bit her lower lip.
"What is it, then?" Cedrick continued to pressure her, wanting to hear what explanation she could come up with.
He thought that they had gone through so much that she would trust him no matter what, yet he did not expect her
to keep secrets from him. If she had long told him that Miles and ollie were his, there would not have been so many
things happening.
That would only seem to him that she did not trust him wholeheartedly.
Catelyn was about to go mad because of him pressuring her. Abruptly, she thought of something and blurted out,

Cedrick frowned and stared at her suspiciously. "Excuse me?"
If Cedrick did have a twin, the elder of the Mason family would not hand over the Mason Group to him, and he
would not hide him from her.
That sounded heartbreaking and unbelievable to him.
Catelyn's body's strength seemed to be drained in an instant, and there was a sense of powerlessness filled up her
muscles.
She could not help admitting her guilt. She neither wanted to be hurtfully blunt with Cedrick nor face the truth of
him hurting Stella.
However, Cedrick was sensitive and brilliant at the same time. Associating the car accident with the abnormal
behavior of Catelyn that stared at his car's scratches, Cedrick suddenly lowered his eyes and asked, "Don't tell me
that you thought I'm the one who hit your mom?"
"I...didn't say that."
"That's what you think!" Cedrick sneered as if he finally understood something. "You suspected that I ran into your
mother yesterday and then ran off. Now you come and interrogate me as a suspect! Is this what you call loving
me?!"
His questioning was like a needle pierced into Catelyn's heart. " Can't you just tell me what you did yesterday?" she
feebly retorted. "What are you hiding?!"
"That's two different things at all!" snapped Cedrick. He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her to the Mercedis
Maybach.
As Catelyn's hands and feet still felt limp, she was dragged all the way as she staggered.
"Let go of me! where are you taking me?!"
Cedrick turned a deaf ear, put her in the passenger seat, and slammed to lock the door afterward.
Catelyn tapped the car window vigorously but to no avail.

center of the traffic brigade in Ocean Path Residence.
Before Catelyn realized what had happened, Cedrick had already made a report to the police.
"I need you to check it with all the approaches you know. I was suspected to be the culprit of a hit-and-run accident
outside Ocean Path Residence at around eight-thirty last night." Cedrickbriefly explained the situation and tried to
prove his innocence in the simplest and most effective way.
Although he could not tell her his whereabouts and actions yesterday, he knew that he did not run into anyone last
night.
The officers gave Cedrick a once-over and thought they had heard him wrong. No one had ever volunteered to be
the suspect in any case!
They were shocked by Cedrick's glare.
"Please wait a moment as we need to obtain the testimonies of witnesses nearby and check the footage from all
surveillance cameras." One of the police officers poured a glass of water for the two and asked them to sit and wait
in the hall.
Cedrick would be presumed innocent before they found compelling evidence.
