Chapter 1005
"My painting? I don't even have time to participate in the auction yet." "A gentleman asked me to give it to you. He said
that you'll like this painting very much." The man smiled respectfully and gently.
Catelyn did not even need to think about it to know that the person who bought the painting was Ezekiel.
'But why didn't he give it to me himself?'
Catelyn looked around but did not see her father.
"Where's the gentleman?" Catelyn asked the staff.
The staff shook his head. "It looks like he left earlier, and he just told me to hand over the painting as soon as possible."
That was her mother's last piece of work. Undoubtedly, Catelyn did not want someone else to have it. She took the
painting out and caressed it as if she could still feel her mother's emotions at that time.

The man she loved acted as a model for her, and she painted a perfect painting with her own hands.
It was just a pity that their love was short-lived.
Just as Catelyn kept the painting back in the tube case and was about to continue looking for Joanne, the sound of
steady footsteps came from the corner of the stairs. The footsteps were light, but they sounded all too familiar.
As the sound got closer, a tall figure came into view.
Catelyn was startled. 'Why.Js Cedrick here?'
Catelyn’s first reaction was to hide in the women's bathroom, but Cedrick was quicker-with his gaze and movement.
His eyebrows furrowed as he rushed over in a few strides, grabbing her wrist.
Cedrick dragged Catelyn out, much to her irritation.
"Where are you taking me? Let me go!"
She subconsciously looked at the staff for help. The staff, too, felt that Cedrick was inappropriate toward the lady,
but before he could even step in, Cedrick shot him with a cold look.
This terrified the staff out of his wits, rendering him speechless. His knees trembled as he pretended to not have
seen anything and left.
Catelyn was at a loss for words.
After all, she was a customer of the gallery, so how could the staff leave just like that?
There was no one around in the corridor, so Catelyn had to use all her strength to push Cedrick away.
The light in the gallery was bright, and it reflected the chill in Cedrick's eyes. His deeply drawn lips showed his
displeasure at the moment, like a precursor to his anger.
Even though she could barely guess what Cedrick was after her for, Catelyn stood her ground and yelled, "What on earth
are you trying to do? Is it fun to make such a fuss?!"

Hearing that, Catelyn inevitably froze for a moment.
She knew that she lied too much. Joanne said that the medical records belonged to her, which could not be explained at
all.
"Did I know about the ectopic pregnancy?"
"Don't play dumb with me! The surveillance footage in the hospital was modified! I had people from the technical
department investigate it." Cedrick's voice suddenly lowered as he frowned. "What happened in that operating room?
What did the doctor tell you?"
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Quit pretending! You know what I mean." Cedrick leaned over slowly while speaking, and Catelyn could feel his cold
breath fanning her face.
His eyes moved from her face to her lower abdomen, and his gaze shook Catelyn to the core.
