Chapter 1061
As the last sunset glow disappeared, the car turned the last corner and drove down the lane in front of the Clark Mansion.
Ezekiel had a business meeting in the evening, so he intended to go home first to take a shower and change clothes...
He had just gotten out of the car and hadn't stepped into the foyer when another black car came up behind him. The dazzling light made him unable to open his eyes. Ezekiel subconsciously reached out to block the light and squinted.
Then he saw the car stop. Catelyn got out, still wearing her bulky down jacket from the morning, yet her cheeks were stiffer and whiter than in the morning, and her eyes were red as if she had just cried.
"Cat?" Ezekiel raised his eyebrows in surprise when he realized it was Catelyn. "Why didn't you call ahead to tell me you would come back?"
Catelyn looked at Ezekiel, who greeted her as if nothing had happened. Her heart sank. "I have something to say to you."
"Well, me too. Let's go in and talk about it."
Ezekiel took Catelyn in and ordered the maid to make dinner that a pregnant woman could eat.
The Clark Mansion was brightly lit at night, much more luxurious than before, exuding an air of power and wealth.
Catelyn's slender fingers brushed over the jade ornament displayed on the shelf as she said, "Many of the things in this villa were bought for you by Ceddy. Each of them is worth a lot of money. Dad, Ceddy is good to you, right?"
Ezekiel's face was full of pride. "He is good to me for your sake. All is because I have a good daughter."
Catelyn suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him calmly, her eyes sharp. "Then how could you have the heart to kill Janice, his most respected person?"
Ezekiel staggered as if he had been hit head-on. The smile at the corner of his mouth slowly froze. He put on a serious and injured expression. "You suspect me of being a murderer?
"Stop pretending. I saw you push Janice downstairs. Ceddy checked the surveillance video, in which you ran away from the back staircase with a panicked face. How long do you want to cheat me?"
When she called the maid last night, the maid told her that there was nothing abnormal about Ezekiel.
Was he so emboldened because he was confident that no one would find out the truth?
Janice was dead.
He was now a murderer.
How did he keep his face unchanged?
Catelyn felt a chill down her back, and suddenly, she was terrified.
Ezekiel's eyes flashed with disbelief, and then he gave a cold smile. "Don't fool me. There is no surveillance camera in the back stairwell. You're married, so you no longer care about your original family. You are now Mrs. Mason. To help Cedrick find the murderer, you even suspect your father. I've never even met Janice. How could I push her downstairs?"
Catelyn was excited when she learned that Ezekiel wasn't dead and took him back. However, now she was devastated.
