Chapter 948

Catelyn flushed the toilet, smiled, and pushed open the door.

Cedrick looked at her suspiciously. 'Is your stomach still aching?" 'The brown sugar ginger tea last night eased my pain a lot, and I don't feel any pain now." Catelyn winked at him playfully and took his arm. "Come on, let's go downstairs for breakfast. Don't keep Grandma waiting."

The Atherton family was very traditional. All relatives staying in Atherton Manor had to stick to the rule to have breakfast together, and they could not be late or absent.

Cedrick stared at Catelyn quietly, his gaze softened with worry.

He must be thinking of taking her to the hospital for a physical examination as soon as possible.

The two of them joined hands and went downstairs intimately.

Catelyn noticed that the servants were all whispering with smiling eyes as if they were gossiping about someone.

Catelyn looked at Cedrick in a daze. "Did I miss something?'

Cedrick briefly told Catelyn what happened last night, took out two newspapers, and handed them to her with an inscrutable tone. "No, you're right on time. The drama has just started. I received news that the Jones family was furious when they learned that Trevor and Tracy got in the newspapers because of their romantic affair. They'll visit US to discuss a solution later."

Catelyn stared at the headlines in the newspaper and was baffled.

The title was accompanied by a photo and a caption of what Tracy and Trevor were doing in the car.

The Atherton family and the Jones family were wealthy families of high societal class. Such news detrimentally impaired the social images of both families, which was why they needed a solution to mitigate the impact as soon as possible. 'You arranged for someone to secretly take photos and published them in the newspaper? My goodness, that's terrible!"

'If I'm not bad enough, you won't love me enough, will you?" Cedrick put his arms around Catelyn's waist, and after turning around a little, he pressed her against the back of the couch. "Tracy wanted to frame me and Joanne. She asked for all of this."

Regarding Tracy's attempt to seduce him with hallucinogenic drugs, Cedrick had no intention of telling Catelyn for the time being.

Catelyn looked up to meet his gloomy gaze and blinked slightly. "Then, Trevor was also part of your plan?"

'No. He just happened to be interested in your cousin, and I was just fulfilling his wish. Facts have proven that the outcome wasn't bad." Cedrick saw that it was getting late, and everyone was probably coming to the dining room. He quickly bi Catelyn's lower lip lightly, and then let her go.

Catelyn's breath fluctuated slightly, and she was very satisfied with his sense of humor and kissed him on the chin rewardingly. 'Well done.'

Tracy's thoughts were too vicious, so rooting her out of the family from the start would save them from a lot of trouble.

Everyone had a limit that could not be compromised when someone went beyond it. Tracy was undoubtedly walking a tightrope, challenging their limit collectively.

Joanne and Edwin soon arrived at the dining table, yet the meal would only be served when Sylvie arrived.

Tracy sat at the dining table sadly with Sammy beside her. Her eyes were red, implying that she had cried, and she looked a little weak.

Sammy kept comforting her, but Tracy's resentful eyes never left Catelyn.

Joanne sat across from Tracy. Knowing that she was the culprit who almost caused her to sleep with Cedrick, she propped her chin on purpose and smiled at Catelyn who was sitting next to her. "Women nourished by love are different. They're like blooming flowers, exuding an enviable sweetness. Master Cedrick, you must take good care of our Cat. If you do something unforgivable to her, I won't forgive you."

Catelyn and Joanne sat next to each other at the table, while Cedrick sat next to Edwin. Both pairs were facing each other.

When Cedrick heard that, he gave Catelyn a vague wink. Catelyn happened to be looking at him too, feeling elated and waiting for his answer.
