Chapter 1087
Catelyn didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, but Ezekiel's attitude was respectful and even flattering.
"Please rest assured. Now that Janice is dead, no one will know my secret back then...
"Catelyn? She is loyal to me. To save me, she bet her life with Cedrick.
"I've raised Catelyn for 20 years. Of course, she should repay me. The most hateful thing was that Janice asked me to tell Catelyn the truth. Then I could only send her to hell.
"Now I'm completely fine. Even Cedrick can't kill me. I believe this has proved my value. If you have any plans, just command me..."
Catelyn held the door handle with one hand. She heard those cruel words through the door.
Anger surged inside her.
It was as if a bomb had exploded in her body.
Catelyn choked. She could not hold back her emotions any longer. She pushed open the door of the study with one hand.
There was pain and disbelief in her eyes.
"Who are you talking to on the phone? Is what you just said true?"
Ezekiel did not expect Catelyn to suddenly barge in. His expression instantly became ugly.
The person on the other end of the line seemed to have asked something else. Ezekiel immediately covered the phone and said carefully, "Just a little accident. I will take care of it. Yes, I'm still waiting for you to return to Sapphire City and take back what should belong to you..."
After saying a few words, Ezekiel hung up the phone and stared at Catelyn seriously.
"Did you ... hear something just now?"
"I heard it all." Catelyn only felt it was incredibly ironic and disgusting: "So you murdered Aunt Janice and used me to get away with it? Are you still the same dad I remember?"
Ezekiel walked to the door of the study and slowly closed it.
Catelyn thought he would continue to argue, but this time, he had a showdown with her.
"Dad? Do you think I want to be your dad? You are not my daughter at all. I've raised you for so many years. You just saved me once. It's nothing at all."
Catelyn was shocked by Ezekiel's shamelessness. She put a hand on the edge of the table to steady herself. She was so angry that her body was trembling. 'Even though we are not related, we have lived together for so many years. Do you have no affection for me at all?"
