Chapter 972


    Chapter 972


    When Catelyn finished helping Miles and Ollie in finishing their homework in the evening, she received a call from


    Grandpa Albert.


    "Madam, do you have a moment to spare?" pleaded the butler on the other end of the line. "Can you return to


    Mason Estate now? Master Cedrick has been drinking tonight, and he''s been calling your name in the living


    room..."

    Cue the sounds of something seemingly smashed to the floor and falling apart in the background.


    Catelyn stood up from the couch in shock. "Is he throwing something?"


    Since they got together, Cedrick had quitted smoking and drinking. Although he asionally smoked or drank, he


    never got himself drunk.


    Even if he was drunk, he would not have gone that crazy.


    Catelyn sensed that something had gone wrong.


    "I don''t know! Madam,e back quickly! Apart from you, Master Cedrick doesn''t listen to anyone


    now, and we can''t talk him out of it!"


    Catelyn hurriedly agreed, hung up the phone, changed into a heavy down jacket, and was about to go


    out.


    Sylvie was walking around the garden and happened to bump into Catelyn at the door. Seeing that she


    was walking in a hurry in a heavy down jacket, she asked worriedly, "Where are you going tonight?"


    "Ceddy needs my help. I have to go to Mason Estate now."


    "He''s a man. What kind of help would he need from you?" Sylvie frowned in disapproval, trying to stop


    Catelyn. "It''s getting darker, and it''s snowing. What if you slip and fall?"


    "I won''t, Grandma. Ceddy doesn''t listen to anyone, and Grandpa Albert has begged me for my help,"


    Catelyn insisted.


    "Well, knock him unconscious and let him sleep. When he wakes up tomorrow, nothing will happen!"


    Sylvie gave Kelly a look, and Kelly was ready to call Albert.


    Panicking, Catelyn quickly held Kelly''s hand and pleaded with Sylvie," Grandma, it''ll just be a while,


    and I''ll be back soon. I''ll be extra careful and not mess around. Please.”


    "Even so, that''s not necessary-"


    "Uncle Benny, is the car ready?" Catelyn did not want to give Sylvie a chance to continue to refute her,


    so when she saw Uncle Benny passing by the door, she immediately called out to him and ran out


    immediately.


    Sylvie stared at her back and sighed. "She''s getting more rebellious after marrying Cedrick.”


    Sylvie suddenly got emotional that she felt there was not much time left for her to be with Catelyn.


    A thickyer of snow umted on the ground, so Grandpa Albert had servants shovel the snow and piled it on


    both sides of the road.


    Catelyn walked quickly to the lobby of Mason Estate and saw Cedrick stumbling in the middle of a pile of shattered


    ss. The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol.


    His ankle was cut, dripping blood, and his eyes seemed hazed over.


    "Madam, you''ve finallye!" Grandpa Albert greeted her in surprise.


    "Albert, what''s wrong with your face?" Even though the light was dim, Catelyn could still see the bruise on his right


    face at a nce, and it looked like a fist mark.


    "Ah, I just tripped... I''m fine.'' Albert stroked his cheek, reddish and swollen. The pain made him gasp, but he


    quickly tilted his head and avoided Catelyn''s gaze.


    Catelyn lowered her face and said coldly, "Then tell me, how did a fist mark appear on your face during your fall?


    Ceddy was drunk and hit you, didn''t he?"
