Chapter 303 Cedrick glared coldly at the doctor. “Why would she be on diet pills when she’s already so
skinny?” uttered Cedrick coldly, and the air in the room became suffocating once more. The doctor did
not respond.
Cedrick looked back at Catelyn once again.
He had never seen any sort of diet pill when he was over at her house, and on top of that, she had
always been particular with her diet and her well-being. There was no need for any sort of diet pills at all.
In other words, Cedrick was certain that Catelyn had not been taking any laxatives. The other
possibilities were that she had either taken it by mistake, or someone had poisoned her. Cedrick was the
one who bought her breakfast that morning, and he ate the same thing as her as well, so it could not
have been that.
The biggest possibility was…that someone bore ill intentions toward her. Granny Atherton frowned when
she heard that Catelyn had taken laxatives, but what she was trying to understand more than anything
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas the relationships between Cedrick, Catelyn, and Edwin. Edwin seemed to care deeply about
Catelyn, but… It seemed that Cedrick was closer and more intimate with Catelyn. “Eddy…”Granny
Atherton called out to him and paused before asking, “What exactly is your relationship with Catelyn?”
Edwin understood what his grandmother was trying to get at and shrugged. “It’s exactly what you saw.”
“Isn’t she your girlfriend?” Granny Atherton frowned.
“Since when have I ever had such a good girl as my girlfriend?” Edwin smirked and explained, “Catelyn
has always been Ced’s, Grandma.” Granny Atherton felt oddly disappointed. She thought Edwin was
pursuing Catelyn, seeing as how much he cared about her. Edwin, after all, was good in everything
except for romantic relationships.
People had called him a player, but Granny Atherton knew that it was only because he had not met the
right person. Granny Atherton looked at Edwin, annoyed, as she complained, “You’re always talking
about Ced this, Ced that. I know you grew up together and are close friends, but look at him now-he
even has a son now. When will you bring someone serious home?”
Edwin had never been fond of talking about his romantic lives with his grandmother; Granny Atherton
would start nagging endlessly whenever she talked about Edwin’s relationship status. Cedrick eventually
released Catelyn from his embrace and draped a blanket over her form. He then stood up and stared
into Granny Atherton’s eyes. “Granny Atherton, I’d like an explanation for what happened.” Granny
Atherton gazed at Catelyn with her cane in hand, and her eyes filled with traces of regret and heartache.
“I’m not sure what happened either. All I know is that she tried to call for a cab but failed, and she came
out again in an attempt to hitch a hike.”
Granny Atherton paused for a moment and realized she did not owe Cedrick an explanation. She looked
at him coldly and said, “Explain? Even if she’s your girlfriend, this is still my company, Chandier Jewelry’s
private matter. Not even your grandfather would ask me for an explanation, so why should I explain
anything to you at all?” Cedrick then thought of the text message Catelyn sent to him about diarrhea, and
his eyes slowly turned icy-cold. He rolled up his sleeves slowly and casually as he uttered, “Well, I’ve
always been a protective person. Also, last I heard, I’m the head of the Masons now.” “Hmph.” Granny
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAtherton’s face sank as she continued, “Alright, then. The Athertons’ and Masons’ have been peaceful
for so long now. I’d like to see which of us raised a better generation.” The pair glared arrogantly at each
other.
Even though Granny Atherton was in her seventies, her aura and energy when she was angry were still
powerful and intimidating.
However, Edwin knew that his grandmother had given up on her title, and on top of that, the inner
relationships of the Athertons were pretty messy.
A war with the Masons was not something that they wanted.
Edwin uttered under his breath in Granny Atherton’s ear, “Grandma, we should focus on finding out the
truth and clearing Chandier Jewelry’s name.’
Catelyn…
Granny Atherton’s eyes twitched as she looked at Catelyn. The moment she first saw her, she had
already felt an odd familiarity with her.
