Chapter 1075
Chapter 1075
Catelyn looked at Cedrick. He had a stern face and showed no sign of backing down.
She took a deep breath and said to Edwin, "I'm ready."
Catelyn didn't know what else she could do except take this solution. She couldn't let Cedrick kill her dad. Maybe Cedrick
was right: Ezekiel had secrets and they weren't related by blood, but she couldn't let Cedrick force Ezekiel to death.
Edwin turned to Cedrick again, but Cedrick ignored him. He looked straight at Ezekiel, which showed that Cedrick was
willing to accept the bet.
With Joanne's help, Ezekiel managed to stand up.
He had a touch of fear in his eyes, but he had no choice. Without Catelyn and Edwin, he would surely die here today. He

"I'll take the first shot!" Catelyn didn't want to give Cedrick any time to hesitate. She picked up the pistol and pointed it
at her temple.
Cedrick instantly clenched his fists and stared at her without blinking.
It was silent in the hall.
'What the hell is she doing? What's the matter with Edwin? How could he let Catelyn turn the gun on herself? How
could he let Catelyn risk her life?' Cedrick was worried inside. His lips tightened into a straight line. His heart was
pounding violently...
Snap-
Catelyn pulled the trigger. Luckily, there was no bullet. She dropped her hand with a shudder and breathed a sigh of
relief.
Joanne let out a low whimper. She was terrified. She tugged on Edwin's sleeve and pleaded, "It's too scary. They'll
get themselves killed! Stop it! Make them stop. We'll figure out another way..."
"It's their choice." Edwin responded. His hands clenched tightly.
Cedrick pushed the pistol in front of Ezekiel, and his eyes glowed with a wicked glimmer. "It's your turn."
Ezekiel looked up, his face swollen. He picked up the pistol and held it against his temple.
Catelyn held her breath.
Snap--
Another empty bullet...
Catelyn was relieved, but immediately after that, she tensed up again.
There were four more shots to go. Which turn the bullet would be in?
She grabbed the pistol and looked into Cedrick's eyes, her eyes filled with guilt. 'He must be struggling inside just

Tm sorry, Cedrick. Please forgive me for putting you in such a difficult position...'
'We can invetigate the accident later. What if he just pushed Aunt Janice by mistake? If he dies here today, there’s no
way to take his life back.'
Ezekiel was not dead and Cedrick's hope was dashed. He glared fiercely at Catelyn's hand holding the gun.
'How dare she take another shot?'
"Catelyn." Cedrick said in a somber voice, holding her hand that was gripping the pistol. "You've already missed two
shots. Do you think you'll always be lucky? This man is a murderer. Is he worth risking your life for?"
Tears slid down Catelyn's cheeks. She knew she was being cruel. "If it were you, I would risk my life for you too. Step
back. It will take four shots at most. And then you can avenge Aunt Janice."
"Hehe..." Cedrick gave a bitter smile.
He slowly let go of Catelyn's hand. Blue veins bulged at his temples. He spat, "Great! I didn't even know the woman I
loved had so many guts..."
Catelyn dared not look at the disappointed expression on Cedrick's face.
She pulled the trigger again...
