Chapter 799
Edwin went to the hospital to fetch Catelyn and Joanne, telling them what he found. "I
checked the doors and windows, and they were all perfectly locked without signs of forced
entry."
This puzzled Joanne. "How did the thief get in?"
Catelyn and Edwin looked at each other, and they both saw something unusual in each
other's eyes.
The doors and windows were all in good condition, indicating that it was not a break-in but a
legal entry with the key instead.
'If the bracelet in that photo was similar to the phoenix bracelet, who'd deal with the
painting?’ Catelyn and Edwin pondered at the same time.
The only reasonable explanation was that the bracelet in the portrait was the one that
Quinn gave to the Atherton family, so Quinn was the one who wanted to get rid of the

It was precisely because of that that she seemed guilty on the night that accident
happened.
Edwin asked Catelyn, "Do you still remember the origin of that bracelet?"
"It’s been too long. I can't remember clearly.” Catelyn had never looked at the bracelet carefully. With the vague
memory she still had, she said, "I vaguely remember that in that family portrait, little me was grabbing onto the
bracelet. I'm afraid only my mother knows the origin."
Edwin seemed a little interested when he heard that. " You held it?"
"Yes. Before our family was ruined by bankruptcy, he'd often give me all kinds of strange things to play with. I even
found a skeleton of a small dinosaur in the storage room a few years ago. A real one. That's why I didn't
take the bracelet to heart at all; there were so many odd things in my house."
Joanne finally caught up to the conversation. "That means it is very likely that Quinn took Catelyn's bracelet and
stole her identity as Miss Atherton as well, right? That's why if she wants to keep her secret forever a secret, she
has to...kill Stella..."
The realization horrified Joanne. Quinn was completely a psychopath!
Edwin had never worried about Quinn. He was instead worried about the people from his family who were dealing
with her every day.
He looked at Catelyn and warily asked, "Do you have a photo of your mother?"
"If I said no, would it shock you?" Catelyn helplessly gave a wry smile.
Joanne reacted to that before Edwin could. "Don't you even have one?!"
"No." Catelyn shook her head. "I knew Stella was my stepmother when I was very young. I asked my father where
my mother was, but he only told me that my mother died birthing me. He wouldn't tell me the information either,
so I went around looking for pictures of my mom-"
"What then?" Joanne could not bear the long story Catelyn was going to tell.
"My father said that when my mother died, she was full of regrets, so he burned all her things, including photos,
and buried them with her. Therefore, I never knew what my mother looked like, but my father would occasionally
stare at my face in a daze. I'm guessing... that we share some similarities."
Speaking of her past, Catelyn instinctively thought of Ezekiel.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was suffering in a prison somewhere in the world.
She had already divorced Cedrick and given up the custody of her two children at the
request of Elder
Mason. She did not know when Elder Mason would be willing to let her father come back to
reunite with her.
'Does he want to wait until we go through the divorce entirely?'
Edwin's sharp gaze fell on Catelyn's sad face for a moment.
He always thought that his aunt and Catelyn looked alike, but he did not expect that they
were similar even when she was sad.
Perhaps Catelyn had never been so helpless in front of him before.
When they got out of the car, Edwin secretly collected a string of Catelyn's long hair. Maybe
he and his grandmother could find the real Miss Atherton without waiting for the day when
Quinn was exposed.
Until then, he had a question in his mind.
'My aunt left Sapphire City with that mysterious man, so how did she have a daughter with
Ezekiel?’
