Chapter 70 6
Catelyn twitched and blushed. "She sent me photos saying that you were with her!"
Cedrick did not try changing the subject and explained, "We ran into each other in the club, and she asked me to go
to a hotel with her."
"And you just complied?!" Seeing that Cedrickadmitted to it, she immediately elbowed him on the chest.
Cedrick acted swiftly and caught her elbow before pushing it back toward her so he could hold her from behind. He
chuckled and said, "Why are you so irritated? Since she's been targeting me for a while, I just decided to let her
fantasize for a bit. Relax, I'm all yours. No one else can touch me."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatelyn felt much better and reassured after that, she did not actually doubt Cedrick, but she hated the fact that
Quinn got to irritate her with what happened; she was also annoyed that Cedrick did not take the initiative to
mention that he had met Quinn.
'He's such a playboy!' she internally grumbled.
"Don't you want to know what's the relationship between your mom and Quinn?" Cedrick casually switched the
subject.
She turned around slightly to face him. "what did you find?"
"Your mom's true name is Sunniva Hills, she had a family, and after giving birth to a girl, she abandoned her
husband and child to marry your dad."
Catelyn tensed and asked, "So you're saying that...Quinn is my mom's biological daughter?"
"I checked your mom's background and found that she's the only child with no siblings. This is the only explanation
to why she's this tolerant toward Quinn."
Catelyn was shaken. Though Quinn did not appear to be Stella's niece to begin with, she never imagined that the
two were related in such a way. After all, when Stella married Ezekiel, she told everyone that she had no other
family members. That was the precise reason why Ezekiel had always been forgiving toward Stella and would never
get upset even if she lost all her money playing poker, believing she had no one else to rely on.
Catelyn laid flat on the bed and felt sorry for her father. Though her father was not deeply in love with Stella, he
never wronged her, yet she had lied to him. If Ezekiel returned to Sapphire City one day to find out that he had a
stepdaughter, would he treat Quinn as his own or as a stranger?
Stella was fed up with staying in the hospital and sought the doctor's approval to be discharged. The doctor
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmreminded her to come back for another check-up in a few days' time and to also keep a closer eye on any changes
in her condition.
Catelyn sent Stella back to Ocean Path Residence, and out of spite for Catelyn, Quinn insisted on following.
Whenever Stella was not looking, Quinn would shoot Catelyn a strange smile in contempt. Even if Cedrick was
simply using her, he still slept with her, which meant that Cedrickand Catelyn were not at all inseparable.
'As long as I work hard and get accepted into the Atherton family, I'll beg Granny Atherton to set me up with
Cedrick... By then, Catelyn will mean nothing! she can't possibly hold a candle to someone with high status like me!'
Quinn thought to herself. 1
Naturally, Quinn did not tell Lola her plan because Lola seemed to be interested in Cedrick as well. Quinn knew that
she had to be cautious until the day she became a member of the Atherton family.
