Chapter 666
"The origin?"
"Yes, the bangle was a relic of Catelyn's late mother for her."
Lola felt slightly tensed at the word 'relic' and demanded, "If you can find out the whereabouts of the bangle, I will give you a million dollars! I must get the bangle!"
Quinn heard the one million dollar offer and found her determination again.
"Miss Atherton, please don't worry. I will continue to investigate this."
"There is also another thing that I need your help..." Lola said with a cold tone, with a hint of nervousness.
The living room was full of clutter, and even the couch was flipped over. Catelyn and Cedrick had nowhere to sit.
Stella was in the kitchen making dinner. Catelyn did not expect Cedrick to know how to do the chores and, therefore, proactively went and cleaned up the place.
Cedrick pulled her arm, and he sounded impatient.
"I never allowed you to do house chores at home. Now you are helping someone else to do it?"
If it were not because of Catelyn being so concerned about Stella and insisting on coming back for a visit, he would not ever come here.
Stella obviously coddled Quinn. Even if she was framed by Quinn, it was her own fault.
"My mom is not 'someone else'..." Catelyn's slender finger poked his handsome face and said, "Smile, you are always so serious."
Cedrick's dark eyes locked onto her intensely. Finally, he gave in and took out his phone. "I will get a housekeeper here. How soon do you really think you can finish by yourself?"
Catelyn thought it was a good idea to have a helping hand too, and nodded in concurrence.
She was just about to say something, suddenly...
Clank!
It sounded like something smashed in the kitchen.
Catelyn's face turned slightly green and she dashed into the kitchen.
She saw Stella on the floor with her eyes rolled up. She was unconscious.
Next to her was a metal lid of a pot.
"Mom?" Catelyn held her breath. She squatted on the ground and kept shouting, "Mom, how are you? Please wake up... Don't fall asleep..."
Stella's eyelashes had little quivers, but she had not shown any signs of waking up.
Catelyn looked at Cedrick, and Cedrick understood her. He changed the intention of his call to calling the doctor. Then, the man hunched down, his muscular arm carried Stella up and strode out of the building.
Quinn heard the noise outside and came out. She saw Cedrick carrying Stella out.
Her pupils constricted secretly.
"What... What happened to my aunt?"
Catelyn had no mood to entertain Quinn. She merely replied that Stella passed out and then followed Cedrickout of the living room.
