Chapter 946
Catelyn and Joanne had gone to bed early and slept deeply, completely unaware of what happened
downstairs.
In contrast to their wives, Cedrick and Edwin were the instigators, and they witnessed the debauchery
from the start until the end. Moreover, they also paid off a few reporters to viral the news that Tracy
and Trevor had an affair in the car. In just a few hours, everyone across the globe heard of the farce
they made.
As Catelyn's father, Ezekiel had been cautious since returning to America, and Cedrick got a scapegoat
to take his place in prison at that time. As the son-in-law of the Atherton family, he gradually became
popular in the upper- class circle. Gradually, even those who had looked down on the Clark family in
the past started to curry favor with him.

betrayed or framed him in the past.
Some of the guests who had been ridiculed by him gathered together and complained, "What is Ezekiel
so proud of? Didn't he just marry a good wife who gave birth to a good daughter? If his daughter hadn't
married someone from the Mason family, he'd still be imprisoned!"
Ezekiel heard those critiques accidentally, but he did not care.
There was only one Cedrick in the world, and it had nothing to do with him that her daughter managed to make
Cedrick fall in love with her.
After the guests left, Edwin arranged a bedroom for Ezekiel and had him stay in Atherton Manor to rest.
Ezekiel was complacent and responded with a smile.
Edwin stared at the servant leading Ezekiel to his room and gently bumped Cedrick's arm with his elbow. ’I heard
that you also bought back my uncle's company and instated him to be in charge again. Is it true?"
Cedrick nodded lightly. "Let him have something to do. Catelyn has been nagging about it."
"Wow, what a good son-in-law you are! I have nothing to say. You gifted him a car, a villa, and even a company.
What are you going to give him next time? Bitcoins?" Edwin joked. "But that's good too. Cat cares very much about
her father. As the saying goes, 'Love the family of your loved ones'.’
Cedrick frowned and said in deep thought, ’Please help me to check the details of Ezekiel's murder four years ago."
’Didn't you get a scapegoat to go to jail for him already? Do you still want to reopen the case for him?” Edwin was
puzzled.
"That's the problem." Cedrick frowned slightly, his eyes full of surprise." Before Ezekiel's murder case was known by
the public four years ago, the company was already heavily in debt. He was accused of murdering a banker who
could lend him the money. Think about it; he had no reason to kill the banker who could literally save his life."
Edwin had never carefully investigated Ezekiel's murder case four years ago. To him, the only things he cared about
were his sister-in-law and Catelyn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Could the banker have refused to lend money, so he murdered him out of rage?"
"No." Cedrick denied that possibility without hesitation. "According to the information I got, the banker has agreed
to lend him money and has passed the company's internal review, and the loan would be released."
’So, there are other inside stories about Ezekiel being accused of murder? Why didn't you just ask
him?’
’He's Catelyn's father, mind you."
Everyone had been caring only about Summer since he returned to America. In addition, it had been
four years since the incident, and it might not be good timing for him to rashly ask about the details of
the murder case all of a sudden.
What Ezekiel said might not all be true.
The more Cedrick got along with Ezekiel, the more he realized that he was not as gentle as he
seemed.
"Okay, then. I'll reinvestigate the case again." Edwin agreed without hesitation.
The next morning, Tracy woke up and found herself in her bedroom.
