Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067 "Are you going to say something?" Looking at Catelyn's pale cheeks, Cedrick's heart softened. Since Aunt Jancice's accident, Catelyn hadn't rested well. She looked haggard.

Catelyn stared down at her shoes and muttered, "I want to see Aunt Janice. ■

"The funeral is in three days. You can go to the funeral." Cedrick wouldn't let her go see Janice now, but on the day of the funeral.

Catelyn was surprised. 'Why won't he let me go to see Aunt Janice?'

The winter sun shone through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, but Catelyn was in a gloomy mood. She clutched Cedrick's arm and explained anxiously, "My... My dad didn't do it on purpose. It was an accident. My dad felt so guilty that he tried to kill himself yesterday."

Immediately, Cedrick's mild face turned dark.

Cedrick became mad when he heard Catelyn speak up for Ezekiel. 'She knew exactly that Ezekiel was the murderer!'

He shook Catelyn's arm off abruptly and snapped, "If you don't do the check -up, I'll send you home."

"I'm not trying to defend my dad. We won't shift our responsibilities. But I don’t want you to keep dwelling on this matter and making it an unfixable conflict between US..."

"Have you said enough?" Cedrick reached up and suddenly lifted Catelyn's jaw with one hand and gazed at her. "Do you know what you're talking about? Aunt Janice is dead! Are you telling me to forget about it? You take Ezekiel as your real father, but you have no idea what a bastard he was! He tried to kill himself? He was just acting. Do you expect me to believe he has a conscience? He's a complete hypocrite! The four years in jail meant nothing to him!"

"No, that's not true!"

Catelyn thought Cedrick hated Ezekiel, so he assumed Ezekiel was a jerk.

No matter what Ezekiel had done or what kind of man he had become, to Catelyn, he had always been his dad who had loved her since she was young.

He used to carry her on his back around the yard and knock on the doors of clinics late at night when she was sick.

Those memories were engraved in her mind and she would never forget them.

Cedrick stared fixedly at Catelyn and snorted, "What if Ezekiel isn't your dad?"

'..." Catelyn was dumbfounded. She gave a stiffened smile, "I know you hate my dad, but you shouldn't make jokes like that. If he's not my dad, who is?"

Cedrick gave a snort. He didn't answer her. He carried her up again in his arms and put her in the car.

Catelyn leaned over the car window and shouted, "Cedrick, my dad really felt sorry for the accident. He has a high fever in the hospital. Please..."

"Don't worry. I'm not going to do anything to him right now. I need to plan Aunt Janice's funeral." Cedrick cast a meaningful glance at Catelyn, but there was no hint of emotion in his eyes. He slammed the car door shut and turned to leave.

Through the car window, Catelyn watched Cedrick walk away. She felt something scratch her heart.

'Ezekiel's not my dad... What does Cedrick mean by that?

'Dad said he had an argument with Aunt Janice over a mistake made that he had more than twenty years ago and that the secret would destroy them... What is the secret?'

The car stopped at the gate of the Mason Estate.
