Chapter 833
'You b*tch!"
Sylvie immediately frowned in displeasure and glanced at the police officer.
The police officer then gagged Lola with a towel, rendering her into nothing but a blubbering, groaning mess as she was
forcibly dragged to the police car.
The hall fell silent once more.
Receiving instruction from Sylvie, the master of ceremonies came to the stage to liven up the atmosphere at the scene.
Since then, the guests in the hall never mentioned the incident that happened earlier again. Instead, they congratulated
Sylvie for finally meeting her granddaughter at last and praised Catelyn for her beauty and wisdom.
Catelyn was taken by Edwin to the inner hall to change her dress. The quarrel she had with Quinn just left wrinkles on
her dress.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn sat in front of a dressing table and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
Her hair was tied into a low braided bun with only a few strands of slightly curled hair resting aside, gently brushing
along her white cheeks.
Her earlobes were embellished with crystal earrings, and the ankle-length royal blue dress seemingly fluttered with
every movement, setting off her elegance.
'Do you like it?" Edwin crossed his arms lazily, leaned against the door, and stared silently at the woman in front of
him.
Catelyn nodded vigorously, still in a state of mild shock. "I like it; it fits perfectly. Thank you!
'You know, if it weren't for the unexpected incident, I would've thought this was tailor-made for me by you."
it was.’
"Wait, what?" Catelyn reeled back in shock.
All she planned was to catch Quinn and leave the banquet afterward. She did not plan to stay. 'Why did Edwin
prepare a dress for me?'
Edwin raised his eyebrows playfully. ' You and Aunt look alike. Plus, the phoenix bracelet came from the Clark family.
Do you think I'd just ignore these and not investigate deeper? Little Cat, I'm very happy to be your cousin, and I'm
glad that you came to live with Joanne after arguing with Cedrick."
Otherwise, Edwin might still be kept in the dark.
Catelyn understood what he meant and winked at him playfully. ' Why are you being so sentimental all of a sudden?
It doesn't quite fit your style."
'Then what style do you think I am?"
"A womanizer."
Edwin smiled dotingly, and memories from his childhood started to surface in his mind.
He was about four years old that year. As his parents were wed against their will, pressured by their parents, the
two spent most of their time outside the home, hence causing Edwin to lack parental care.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe recalled an older boy, his neighbor, who always mocked him for having a different stepmother every day.
One day, he got very angry and got into a fight with that boy.
He was small, so he was no match for his opponent. As a result, he was beaten by the boy and got himself covered with
injuries.
He lowered his head and limped home.
Before he entered the living room, standing far away by the flowerbed in front of the stone steps, he heard his father and
mother quarreling again, accompanied by the sound of vases and other objects being smashed on the ground.
He bit his mouth sullenly, turned, and ran away silently.
That night, his parents did not notice that he did not return home. He spent a few hours under an overpass until his aunt
came to him with her driver in the middle of the night to pick him up and gently applied medicine to his wound. During
the course, she softly comforted him as if he were her biological son.
It was from then on that he and his aunt began to get close.
A bodyguard's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting Edwin's thoughts, ' Master Cedrick, I'm sorry, but
Mister Atherton has instructed US not to allow outsiders to enter."
