Chapter 1288
Catelyn pointed to the room inside, "My friend asked me to come over. His last name is Peterson."
The window was not closed tightly, so others could vaguely make out the silhouettes of the people inside.
The two bodyguards looked at each other, their faces expressionless. "There is no Peterson here. Please leave."
"His name is Charles! I can call him and ask him to come out if you don't believe me. Just let me in. It's really cold
outside..." Catelyn was talking when she suddenly saw a shadow pass the window.
The figure was agile. Catelyn stopped taking out her cell phone and rushed into the room. "Ceddy, is that you?
Stand right there!"
"Miss, stop it. The person you're looking for is not here..."
"Get out of my way. Let me in..." Catelyn watched as the figure resembling Cedrick flashed by, getting even more
anxious. She pushed the guards.

"Stop." Just as the bodyguards were about to drive Catelyn away, the door opened, and Charles came out, snapping
at the bodyguards and asking Catelyn in surprise, "Mrs.
Mason? What are you doing here?"
Catelyn did not have time to listen to his nonsense. She strode forward, elbowed him away, and barged into the
room.
The room was empty. She glanced around, only to see some simple furniture.
This was impossible. She clearly saw Cedrick...
Catelyn scanned the room for a few moments and finally rested her eyes on the window at the back of the room,
from where Cedrick must have escaped.
The window was strange. Catelyn pushed it for a long while, but she couldn't open it.
"Mrs. Mason, what are you doing?" Charles hurried over and asked.
"What do you think I am doing? Charles, so you already knew that the current 'Cedrick' was a fake, and you secretly
met the real Ceddy... I was almost fooled by you..." Catelyn was exasperated, continuing to push the window.
Charles stepped forward to stop her. "What are you talking about? Mr. Mason is Mr. Mason. There is no fake Mr.
Mason. Have you misunderstood me?"
Catelyn sneered, "Misunderstood you? Well, tell me, why did you come here late at night to meet someone?"
"First, I am busy with work during the day, so I can only come out at night to relax. Second, Mr. Mason's brain is
injured. The doctor said he was relapsing, so I came to this chapel to pray for him. Look, this is the lucky charm I
got for him."
Charles took out a charm from his bag.
It sounded true.
But Catelyn didn't believe it at all.
She pulled Charles out of the way and pushed open the vintage wooden window, expecting to find Cedrick's traces.
However...
"I just saw someone jump out of here..." Catelyn pointed incredulously at the pond outside the window, her face full

Charles said calmly, "But you can see it is a pond outside the window. It is midnight. Who would jump into a pond to
seek death? Mrs. Mason, I'm afraid it's your illusion.
Besides, I want to ask what you want to do by following me all the way."
Catelyn did not have the embarrassment of being caught on the spot.
"Stop acting. We both know the current Ceddy is a fake. I don't know why Cedrick didn't come out and tell me the
truth, but I'm not stupid."
Charles was silent for two seconds and suddenly said, "It's late. I'll take you down the mountain. Anyway, I'm loyal to
Mr. Mason. I won’t betray him."
Catelyn, who was unwilling to give up, continued to look out the window.
She was sure it wasn't an illusion.
Not only did the figure look like Cedrick, but it also resembled Terrence.
Terrence...
Catelyn suddenly realized something.
If her first feeling when she saw Terrence was correct, Terrence was Cedrick's disguised persona, and the scars on
his body were just removed by some special means. Then ... the person who met Charles should also be "Terrence".
Catelyn clenched her fists. She had been tricked by Terrence.
