Chapter 767
"I'm fine, honest. Let's go home already, I'm so hungry."
Catelyn needed to sort out these clues.
Cedrick turned her around and made her face him. His sharp cold eyes were full of hostility. "Is that so? You're not
lying now, are you?"
"Yes." Catelyn lowered her gaze, and her mind was in chaos.
Of course, Cedrick did not believe her. Her current state was so unstable that anyone could see that something
must have happened.
Suddenly, two fingers pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her gaze slightly to meet his eyes. "Tell me, what
happened?"
"I—I... The..." Catelyn hesitated and tried to organize her utterance, but she was somewhat at a loss for words.
Just when she made up her mind and planned to ask about the accident, Cedrick swung her chin from his hold, and
his tone became gloomy when he spoke, "It seems that you're forcing me to have someone check you before you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanswer."
"Answer me first: what did you do last night? I know that Charles wasn't with you!"
Cedrick's eyebrows suddenly tightened. Coldness flashed in his eyes, and he fell silent.
Seeing that he did not answer, Catelyn became anxious and grabbed his wrist. "Didn't you say we're a couple? If
you want me to trust you, shouldn't you show that you're trustworthy first?" Cedrick stared at her silently for a
moment and then pried off her fingers, one by one.
Catelyn would not let go, however, even if her knuckles were hurt by his action.
"Answer me! As long as you say it, I'll believe you!" Catelyn still had hope in her.
As long as Cedrick showed his alibi or even gave a reasonable explanation, she would believe that the footage was
forged by Quinn, and the scratches on the car were caused by some random rider.
Cedrick's eyebrows tightened even more, and he pushed her hand away from his arm.
The hand slumped unexpectedly easily.
With a phone call, two bodyguards—a man and a woman—swiftly came out of the lift and greeted Cedrick and
Catelyn.
"Master Cedrick, Missus Mason."
"Where did Missus Mason go yesterday? who did she meet, and what happened?" Cedrick asked the two
bodyguards coldly in front of Catelyn.
Catelyn stared in disbelief at the two bodyguards in front of her.
They were neighbors who had just moved in for two or three days. She even greeted them, thinking they were a
married couple, just like Cedrick and her, but they were bodyguards Cedrick had ordered to spy on her!
The bodyguards looked at each other before they replied in a formulaic manner, "After Missus Mason got off work
yesterday, she went to the Barricade Club with Mister Atherton, Miss Winters, and others. She stayed there until
about nine o'clock, then went to the hospital to meet Quinn before she went back to Ocean Path Residence until the
middle of the night. During that time, they made another visit to the hospital..."
All the details of her itinerary that were known by the bodyguards horrified Catelyn.
She could not help staring angrily at Cedrick and confronted him. " Seriously? You had someone follow and spy on
me all this while? For God's sake, how long has it been going?!"
Cedrick, the apathetic man as he always was, did not soften his tone, "I told you I don't want that accident at Mister
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZimmer's place to happen again, and I don't want my woman to need to be rescued by the Ninth Master when an
accident occurs. They're protecting you."
"Even if it's for my sake, why didn't you tell me before?"
Catelyn did not see that as a way of protection at all. They pretended to be neighbors and greeted her but would
follow her closely in private like spies.
Her life was nothing of a secret to the eyes of these two. There was no privacy at all!
Cedrick did not answer her. Instead, he looked at the bodyguard and asked, "Why did they go to the hospital to
meet Quinn?"
"Missus Clark was in a car accident, and she's now in a coma, residing in the hospital," said the bodyguard.
'Stella had a car accident?'
It was not until that moment Cedrick understood why Catelyn had been emotional.
He had the bodyguards leave them soon after.
Catelyn looked in the direction where the bodyguards disappeared. They got into the lift again and still lived near
her house.
The fear of being watched all the time became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
"Cedrick, I need you to remove these two bodyguards from spying on me, now!"
