Chapter 948
Catelyn flushed the toilet, smiled, and pushed open the door.
Cedrick looked at her suspiciously. 'Is your stomach still aching?" ’The brown sugar ginger tea last night
eased my pain a lot, and I don't feel any pain now." Catelyn winked at him playfully and took his arm.
"Come on, let's go downstairs for breakfast. Don't keep Grandma waiting.”
The Atherton family was very traditional. All relatives staying in Atherton Manor had to stick to the rule
to have breakfast together, and they could not be late or absent.
Cedrick stared at Catelyn quietly, his gaze softened with worry.
He must be thinking of taking her to the hospital for a physical examination as soon as possible.
The two of them joined hands and went downstairs intimately.
Catelyn noticed that the servants were all whispering with smiling eyes as if they were gossiping about someone.
Catelyn looked at Cedrick in a daze. "Did I miss something?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedrick briefly told Catelyn what happened last night, took out two newspapers, and handed them to her with an
inscrutable tone. "No, you're right on time. The drama has just started. I received news that the Jones family was
furious when they learned that Trevor and Tracy got in the newspapers because of their romantic affair. They'll visit
US to discuss a solution later."
Catelyn stared at the headlines in the newspaper and was baffled.
The title was accompanied by a photo and a caption of what Tracy and Trevor were doing in the car.
The Atherton family and the Jones family were wealthy families of high societal class. Such news detrimentally
impaired the social images of both families, which was why they needed a solution to mitigate the impact as soon
as possible.
'You arranged for someone to secretly take photos and published them in the newspaper? My goodness, that's
terrible!"
'If I'm not bad enough, you won't love me enough, will you?" Cedrick put his arms around Catelyn's waist, and after
turning around a little, he pressed her against the back of the couch. "Tracy wanted to frame me and Joanne. She
asked for all of this."
Regarding Tracy's attempt to seduce him with hallucinogenic drugs, Cedrick had no intention of telling Catelyn for
the time being.
Catelyn looked up to meet his gloomy gaze and blinked slightly. "Then, Trevor was also part of your plan?"
'No. He just happened to be interested in your cousin, and I was just fulfilling his wish. Facts have proven that the
outcome wasn't bad.” Cedrick saw that it was getting late, and everyone was probably coming to the dining room.
He quickly bit Catelyn's lower lip lightly, and then let her go.
Catelyn's breath fluctuated slightly, and she was very satisfied with his sense of humor and kissed him on the chin
rewardingly. 'Well done.'
Tracy's thoughts were too vicious, so rooting her out of the family from the start would save them from
a lot of trouble.
Everyone had a limit that could not be compromised when someone went beyond it. Tracy was
undoubtedly walking a tightrope, challenging their limit collectively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoanne and Edwin soon arrived at the dining table, yet the meal would only be served when Sylvie
arrived.
Tracy sat at the dining table sadly with Sammy beside her. Her eyes were red, implying that she had
cried, and she looked a little weak.
Sammy kept comforting her, but Tracy's resentful eyes never left Catelyn.
Joanne sat across from Tracy. Knowing that she was the culprit who almost caused her to sleep with
Cedrick, she propped her chin on purpose and smiled at Catelyn who was sitting next to her. "Women
nourished by love are different. They're like blooming flowers, exuding an enviable sweetness. Master
Cedrick, you must take good care of our Cat. If you do something unforgivable to her, I won't forgive
you."
Catelyn and Joanne sat next to each other at the table, while Cedrick sat next to Edwin. Both pairs
were facing each other.
When Cedrick heard that, he gave Catelyn a vague wink. Catelyn happened to be looking at him too,
feeling elated and waiting for his answer.
