Chapter 791

All she asked was a clean break with Cedrick so that Grandpa Mason would hand over her father, she knew she

should focus on the bigger picture and stop indulging herself already.

Besides, she had one more thing to find out—the truth behind Stella's car accident.

Days ticked by, and it was already the day to take the laboratory results of the needle.

Joanne was afraid that Catelyn was pretending to be calm, but she undeniably looked composed.

"Cat, are you okay?" asked Joanne worriedly.

"I'd be lying if I said I'm fine." Catelyn tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "But I can't live in the shadows forever. I

need to get myself out of this little comfort zone of mine, or I might not be able to make it before Dad comes back."

She had a feeling she might never meet a man better than Cedrick in her life and would not fall in love with other

men again.

However, she would hide her feelings toward him deeply in her heart until the day she would hear he was thriving.

Joanne gave Catelyn a big hug, burying the sadness in her heart with her. "I'll stand by you through everything, girl."

Catelyn returned her smile.

Edwin did not want to intervene with them, merely handing them eye creams when he saw how red and swollen

their eyes were.

Catelyn took the eye cream, but her thoughts drifted away. "Mister Atherton, there's something I want to ask you."

Edwin leaned on the coach languidly. "What's the matter?"

"Is...Quinn your cousin?" Catelyn was not sure if Quinn managed to fool Edwin, so she decided to be careful with

her question lest she was accused of purposely provoking their relationship.

After all, Quinn's Pentaland Group had been against her for a long time.

Edwin's long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "My aunt was a very gentle woman. There were countless men

attracted to her back then, and she had a lot of choices. I don't think she'd silently give birth to an illegitimate

daughter in a rural town."

Catelyn sighed, relieved that Edwin was still the brilliant man she knew.

"Then, why did you accept her that day? Is it to use her as a cover to find out the mice in the Atherton family?"

"This is why I love having a conversation with smart women." Edwin hinted at Joanne with a glance and continued,

"Quinn came to the door with the Atherton family inheritance bracelet, just to fool my grandmother and get her

approval. Alas, my grandmother is no fool, so she and I decided to play along to find out who had been instructing

her. As you said, she'd be a good pawn in the game."

As far as he knew, many people in the Atherton family had frequently courted Quinn since she moved in, especially

her uncle, Eugene.

He even followed Quinn's lead as if he believed that the Atherton family would hand over the family business to her

eventually in the future, and he also urged her to coax Granny Atherton to change her will.

Catelyn seemed to understand a little of what Edwin said and warily asked, "The bracelet inherited from the

Atherton family?"

Quinn came from a rural town, and her only relative was Stella. Therefore, Catelyn could not figure out where she

got the Atherton family's inheritance bracelet from. 'Was it Lola? It doesn't make sense for Lola to have Quinn

pretend to be the missing daughter. That's too risky.'

"Can I take a look at the bracelet?" Joanne also widened her eyes curiously, staring at Edwin.

Edwin frowned.

Catelyn understood the embarrassed expression on Edwin's face and responded, "It's okay. Joanne and I are just

curious. If it's not convenient, then it's fine."

"The patterns of the bracelets passed down by the Atherton family to men and women are different. Mine has no

value of reference. Plus, both bracelets are now locked in the safe of the Atherton Manor," Edwin explained.

Joanne lowered her eyes in despair. "If it's that troublesome to see it, it's alright."

Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Edwin quickly added, "I do have photos of it saved in my phone, and I can

show you those."
