Chapter 671
Perhaps Ezekiel had hidden it somewhere or that it was with Catelyn.
The bracelet had to be the key to some sort of secret for Lola to place such importance on it.
Cedrick returned to Mason Group, just in time for Alex to complete the research on Quinn's background.
"Master Cedrick, I've looked into Quinn's background." Alex stood before Cedrick's office desk with a serious expression, "while I was at it, I noticed that someone was trying to erase her history."
Cedrick scowled. "Do you know who it was?"
Alex shook his head. "I beat them to it. That person dropped everything when they noticed they were set for failure."
Cedrick took the report and glanced through it.
There was nothing much worth hiding in Quinn's past. Just like how she introduced herself, she grew up with her father. They were poor and lived in a small remote village, she was not a particularly bright person, but her father had insisted on sending her to school, she failed the exam for university, however, so her father spent half of his lifetime's savings to send her to a medical college.
It appeared that she had not worked in the medical field after graduation, so her employment history was left blank, she might have worked a few part-time jobs, but there were no records of them.
Cedrick's frown deepened when he glanced at the column that stated Quinn's mother's name.
"Sunniva Hills?"
"Yes. Rumors had it that Quinn's mother gave birth to her before she was twenty, and her parents didn't get married because her mother wasn't of age then. We're not sure what happened afterward, but she just vanished," Alex explained.
"Vanished?"
"I asked the locals, and they said Sunniva Hills had always been ' high maintenance', so she probably ran away with another man because she thought Quinn's father wasn't enough."
Cedrick listened intently and stared at the photo of a young Sunniva, a playful smile slowly appeared on his lips.
'Sunniva Hills?' he thought. 'Stella Hills... It's no wonder she's so tolerant with Quinn. Quinn isn't her niece; she's the daughter she had abandoned all those years ago! Now that Quinn has come to her, it's only natural that Stella is trying everything she can to make it up to her daughter...'
"Master Cedrick, do I need to keep digging?" Alex asked.
"It's fine. I have a rough idea of what's going on now."
Even if Stella had abandoned her husband and daughter, Catelyn had nothing to do with it. Quinn would only be digging her grave if she continued to behave the way she did.
Meanwhile, at Deluxe International.
Maribel had gone through the trouble to change into a dark dress with a coat hanging on her shoulders. The dress was slim-fitted, which outlined her alluring figure. Confident that she was irresistible, she was certain that she could replace Catelyn and successfully get Deluxe International to sign the contract.
When she arrived at the building, she had thought that Philip would be receiving her and was even prepared to be taken advantage of, but to her surprise, he frowned when he saw her.
