Chapter 817
"You... You knew?" asked Stella in a low voice.
"Do you really think that your relationship with Quinn could deceive everyone? Cedrick had been investigating her from the very start. Did you know that she even tried to seduce Cedrick countless times?" said Catelyn.
"What... What?" Stella's face flushed red, and her eyes widened suddenly, feeling extremely guilty. "1... I didn't know she did this. You should go and see Old Madam Atherton..."
"Of course," replied Catelyn. She thought about Quinn having the guts to fake herself as an Atherton and said to Stella, "I just regret that I didn't break your relationship with Quinn more forcefully."
Catelyn comforted Stella and tucked her in her blanket.
"Kitty, you know that I have taken care of you for so many years. Even if you do expose Quinn, please make sure that she is safe from the Athertons, okay?" begged Stella.
"Even after how she treated you, you still care for her?" asked Catelyn.
"She's my daughter. After all, I was the one who abandoned her first..." muttered Stella. Her mood was fluctuating so much as she spoke she was almost out of breath.
Catelyn said, "Okay, I promise you."
She continued sitting on the edge of the bed with Stella for a little longer. Eventually, Stella fell asleep out of exhaustion.
At that moment, Catelyn had the urge to meet Old Madam Atherton.
As she walked to the garden, the anger within started to cool down.
Quinn just publicly said that Catelyn was the real granddaughter of Old Madam Atherton. If Catelyn were to see her and claim that Quinn was the one who stole the bracelet from her, would anyone believe it?
In addition to that, the family photo of Catelyn having the bracelet was gone. There was simply not enough evidence.
Plus, intergenerational kinship testing was also not that accurate.
She had to find a way to expose Quinn.
Catelyn's eyes fell back to the invitation card lying quietly in the bag.
She sat on the stone steps and was in deep thought when suddenly a human figure suddenly shrouded her. she raised her eyes and saw a familiar handsome face. Her heart skipped a beat as she stared blankly at Cedrick.
It's been many days since she moved out, but the moment she saw him, she immediately thought of those memories back in Green Islands.
Catelyn stood up from the stone steps, turned around, and left.
Cedrick took a few steps ahead and stood in front of her, blocking her way. Catelyn said to him, "I didn't take the initiative to appear in front of you..."
These words had caused layers of ripples in Cedrick's heart.
