All she asked was a clean break with Cedrick so that Grandpa Mason would hand over her father, she knew she should focus on
the bigger picture and stop indulging herself already.
Besides, she had one more thing to find out—the truth behind Ste''s car ident.
Days ticked by, and it was already the day to take theboratory results of the needle.
Joanne was afraid that Catelyn was pretending to be calm, but she undeniably lookedposed.
"Cat, are you okay?" asked Joanne worriedly.
"I''d be lying if I said I''m fine." Catelyn tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "But I can''t live in the shadows forever. I need to get
myself out of this littlefort zone of mine, or I might not be able to make it before Dades back."
She had a feeling she might never meet a man better than Cedrick in her life and would not fall in love with other men again.
However, she would hide her feelings toward him deeply in her heart until the day she would hear he
was thriving.
Joanne gave Catelyn a big hug, burying the sadness in her heart with her. "I''ll stand by you through
everything, girl."
Catelyn returned her smile.
Edwin did not want to intervene with them, merely handing them eye creams when he saw how red and
swollen their eyes were.
Catelyn took the eye cream, but her thoughts drifted away. "Mister Atherton, there''s something I want
to ask you."
Edwin leaned on the coachnguidly. "What''s the matter?"
"Is...Quinn your cousin?" Catelyn was not sure if Quinn managed to fool Edwin, so she decided to be
careful with her question lest she was used of purposely provoking their rtionship.
After all, Quinn''s Pentnd Group had been against her for a long time.
Edwin''s long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "My aunt was a very gentle woman. There were countless
men attracted to her back then, and she had a lot of choices. I don''t think she''d silently give birth to an
illegitimate daughter in a rural town."
Catelyn sighed, relieved that Edwin was still the brilliant man she knew.
"Then, why did you ept her that day? Is it to use her as a cover to find out the mice in the Atherton
family?"
"This is why I love having a conversation with smart women." Edwin hinted at Joanne with a nce and
continued, "Quinn came to the door with the Atherton family inheritance bracelet, just to fool my
grandmother and get her approval. s, my grandmother is no fool, so she and I decided to y along
to find out who had been instructing her. As you said, she''d be a good pawn in the game."
As far as he knew, many people in the Atherton family had frequently courted Quinn since she moved
in, especially her uncle, Eugene.
He even followed Quinn''s lead as if he believed that the Atherton family would hand over the family
business to her eventually in the future, and he also urged her to coax Granny Atherton to change her
will.
Catelyn seemed to understand a little of what Edwin said and warily asked, "The bracelet inherited from the Atherton family?"
Quinn came from a rural town, and her only rtive was Ste. Therefore, Catelyn could not figure out where she got the
Atherton family''s inheritance bracelet from. ''Was it L? It doesn''t make sense for L to have Quinn pretend to be the missing
daughter. That''s too risky.''
"Can I take a look at the bracelet?" Joanne also widened her eyes curiously, staring at Edwin.
Edwin frowned.
Catelyn understood the embarrassed expression on Edwin''s face and responded, "It''s okay. Joanne and I are just curious. If it''s

not convenient, then it''s fine."
"The patterns of the bracelets passed down by the Atherton family to men and women are different. Mine has no value of
reference. Plus, both bracelets are now locked in the safe of the Atherton Manor," Edwin exined.
Joanne lowered her eyes in despair. "If it''s that troublesome to see it, it''s alright."
Seeing the disappointment in her eyes, Edwin quickly added, "I do have photos of it saved in my phone, and I can show you
those."
