Chapter 770
Cedrick was baffled by their findings.
He asked the police officer, "Are you sure the footage is real?"
"We've made a thorough check, and there is no trace of editing," said the officer, as to be fair. "In addition, we also
need to detain the car at the door, analyze your driving record, and arrange for a specialist to do the appraisal."
Cedrick frowned deeply. A complex look flashed across his eyes.
"I'm going out to make a phone call," he said.
The officer immediately stood up. "Do you want me to arrange for someone to accompany you?"
Cedrick shot him with a sharp cold glance. "Why? Am I already the murderer before the examination's results come

"Well, I..." The officer was flustered at this, not knowing how to answer.
"Officer, the victim was my mother. I believe Cedrick won't try to escape, or he wouldn't even take the initiative to
file a case today, would he now?" Catelyn tried to ease the tension in the atmosphere.
The officer waved his hand, indicating that Cedrick could go and make a phone call while also arranging for
Cedrick's car to be impounded.
Catelyn did not go out with Cedrick. He did not seem to be reacting to her, anyway.
When he saw that a man who looked like a spitting image of him hit Stella with a car, she was also in sheer disbelief.
'What's happening? Does it have anything to do with what he did yesterday? Why can't he tell me?'
Catelyn pondered various possibilities in her mind, and before she knew it, half an hour had passed.
The policeman peeked at her from time to time.
He was probably either worried that Cedrick would escape, or felt pity for Catelyn because her husband bumped
into her mother, which was something hard to accept.
Finally, after another 10 minutes, Cedrick came back.
The peaks of his eyebrows were always tightly wrinkled and never stretched out.
Benjamin, together with another lawyer, followed behind him.
He walked up to the officer and started introducing himself.
The officer, who heard his name, was trembling. "Mister Anderson, w—what brings you here today?"
"On behalf of my client, Mister Mason, I'd like to offer a few points of view on the hit-and-run incident..."
Benjamin and the policeman began to negotiate and Catelyn's heart sank.

There seemed to be telepathy between the two. While Catelyn was looking at Cedrick, he was also looking at her.
Cedrick frowned and said, "I'll figure this out. I don't remember that I bumped into your mother last night."
"You can't tell me what you did last night, but you shouldn't be alone, right? No one else can provide an alibi for
you?"
Cedrick pursed his lips a little tighter. "Just wait for the appraisal result of the car."
Cedrick was basically telling her that there was nothing she could know from him anymore.
"I'll go to the hospital to visit my mother, then. The doctor said that her brain activity is very weak. She needs
someone to talk with her often, which will increase the probability of her waking up."
"Okay."
After coming out of the accident center, Catelyn was restless.
On the way to the hospital, she was stopped by a black Spiker.
The car window rolled down, revealing Uncle Ford's face in the process.
"Miss Clark, Grandpa Mason wants to see you."
