Chapter 1056
’I was indeed the first one to reach the stairwell, but I was only there because I overheard a conversation between her and someone else. By the time I was there, Aunt Janice had already fallen and hurt herself. I ran down to check her injury and got myself stained with her blood," said Catelyn.
Draco's heart skipped a beat.
Cedrick's face was dark. If there was a third person at the scene, it only meant that Janice was probably pushed down by someone. His eyes were full of hostility, and he continued to ask Catelyn, "You've mentioned that you've heard a conversation, was the other person a male or a female?"
Catelyn replied without hesitation, "I'm sure it was a man."
"Then, did you see who he is?" At this moment, Ezekiel suddenly raised his voice and asked.
Catelyn looked at her father and said helplessly, "He ran away so quickly, I didn't manage to catch a glimpse of his face."
"What about his voice? Can you recognize it?" Ezekiel asked again in a serious tone.
Catelyn tried her best to recall the incident. She was too far from the man, and he lowered his voice while speaking to Janice.
Catelyn shook her head. To her, it only sounded like a bunch of indistinct whispers.
Cedrick's expression was gloomy. "Did she tell you anything before she lost consciousness?" he asked.
"She didn't say anything," replied Catelyn.
Janice was only half-calling her name at that moment. How could she possibly have any more energy to tell her who the culprit was?
Cedrick was unwilling to give up just like that and asked Catelyn forcefully," Think about it carefully. What are the characteristics of this man? What does he smell like? Anything!"
"I would definitely tell you if I know anything," said Catelyn. She really had no clue.
Now that she had calmed down, the image of Janice lying in a pool of blood started popping up in her mind.
It was truly a shocking scene!
"Ceddy, let's not force Kitty anymore. She already said she couldn't remember anything clearly. She is still pregnant, and she doesn't even have the time to catch her own breath, and now you're interrogating her like a prisoner?" Ezekiel said as he stepped forward, standing in front of Catelyn.
Old Madam Atherton also sternly reprimanded, "Cedrick, my granddaughter did not marry you to be interrogated like this! Let's go home, Kitty!"
"Grandma, Dad, it's okay. I really want to find out the culprit behind all this. I'm not tired at all," said Catelyn.
Catelyn understood Cedrick's current mood. She would be even more desperate to find out the truth if it were her.
"You may not be tired, but you would harm the child in your belly! You haven't even had your breakfast yet, and it's already noon!" said Old Madam Atherton.
