    ''You b*tch!"


    Sylvie immediately frowned in displeasure and nced at the police officer.


    The police officer then gagged L with a towel, rendering her into nothing but a blubbering, groaning mess as she was forcibly dragged to


    the police car.


    The hall fell silent once more.


    Receiving instruction from Sylvie, the master of ceremonies came to the stage to liven up the atmosphere at the scene.


    Since then, the guests in the hall never mentioned the incident that happened earlier again. Instead, they congratted Sylvie for finally


    meeting her granddaughter atst and praised Catelyn for her beauty and wisdom.


    Catelyn was taken by Edwin to the inner hall to change her dress. The quarrel she had with Quinn just left wrinkles on her dress.


    Catelyn sat in front of a dressing table and stared at her reflection in the mirror.


    Her hair was tied into a low braided bun with only a few strands of slightly curled hair resting aside,


    gently brushing along her white cheeks.


    Her earlobes were embellished with crystal earrings, and the ankle-length royal blue dress seemingly


    fluttered with every movement, setting off her elegance.


    ''Do you like it?" Edwin crossed his armszily, leaned against the door, and stared silently at the


    woman in front of him.


    Catelyn nodded vigorously, still in a state of mild shock. "I like it; it fits perfectly. Thank you!


    ''You know, if it weren''t for the unexpected incident, I would''ve thought this was tailor-made for me by


    you."


    it was.’


    "Wait, what?" Catelyn reeled back in shock.


    All she nned was to catch Quinn and leave the banquet afterward. She did not n to stay. ''Why did


    Edwin prepare a dress for me?''


    Edwin raised his eyebrows yfully. '' You and Aunt look alike. Plus, the phoenix bracelet came from


    the rk family. Do you think I''d just ignore these and not investigate deeper? Little Cat, I''m very


    happy to be your cousin, and I''m d that you came to live with Joanne after arguing with Cedrick."


    Otherwise, Edwin might still be kept in the dark.

    Catelyn understood what he meant and winked at him yfully. '' Why are you being so sentimental all


    of a sudden? It doesn''t quite fit your style."


    ''Then what style do you think I am?"


    "A womanizer."


    Edwin smiled dotingly, and memories from his childhood started to surface in his mind.


    He was about four years old that year. As his parents were wed against their will, pressured by their


    parents, the two spent most of their time outside the home, hence causing Edwin tock parental care.


    He recalled an older boy, his neighbor, who always mocked him for having a different stepmother every day.


    One day, he got very angry and got into a fight with that boy.


    He was small, so he was no match for his opponent. As a result, he was beaten by the boy and got himself covered with injuries.


    He lowered his head and limped home.


    Before he entered the living room, standing far away by the flowerbed in front of the stone steps, he heard his father and mother quarreling


    again, apanied by the sound of vases and other objects being smashed on the ground.


    He bit his mouth sullenly, turned, and ran away silently.


    That night, his parents did not notice that he did not return home. He spent a few hours under an overpass until his aunt came to him with


    her driver in the middle of the night to pick him up and gently applied medicine to his wound. During the course, she softlyforted him as


    if he were her biological son.


    It was from then on that he and his aunt began to get close.


    A bodyguard''s voice suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting Edwin''s thoughts, '' Master Cedrick, I''m sorry, but Mister Atherton has


    instructed US not to allow outsiders to enter."
