Chapter 303
Chapter 303 Cedrick glared coldly at the doctor. “Why would she be on diet pills when she’s already so skinny?” uttered Cedrick coldly, and the air in the room became suffocating once more. The doctor did not respond.
Cedrick looked back at Catelyn once again.
He had never seen any sort of diet pill when he was over at her house, and on top of that, she had always been particular with her diet and her well-being. There was no need for any sort of diet pills at all.
In other words, Cedrick was certain that Catelyn had not been taking any laxatives. The other possibilities were that she had either taken it by mistake, or someone had poisoned her. Cedrick was the one who bought her breakfast that morning, and he ate the same thing as her as well, so it could not have been that.
The biggest possibility was…that someone bore ill intentions toward her. Granny Atherton frowned when she heard that Catelyn had taken laxatives, but what she was trying to understand more than anything was the relationships between Cedrick, Catelyn, and Edwin. Edwin seemed to care deeply about Catelyn, but… It seemed that Cedrick was closer and more intimate with Catelyn. “Eddy…”Granny Atherton called out to him and paused before asking, “What exactly is your relationship with Catelyn?” Edwin understood what his grandmother was trying to get at and shrugged. “It’s exactly what you saw.”
“Isn’t she your girlfriend?” Granny Atherton frowned.
“Since when have I ever had such a good girl as my girlfriend?” Edwin smirked and explained, “Catelyn has always been Ced’s, Grandma.” Granny Atherton felt oddly disappointed. She thought Edwin was pursuing Catelyn, seeing as how much he cared about her. Edwin, after all, was good in everything except for romantic relationships.
People had called him a player, but Granny Atherton knew that it was only because he had not met the right person. Granny Atherton looked at Edwin, annoyed, as she complained, “You’re always talking about Ced this, Ced that. I know you grew up together and are close friends, but look at him now-he even has a son now. When will you bring someone serious home?”
Edwin had never been fond of talking about his romantic lives with his grandmother; Granny Atherton would start nagging endlessly whenever she talked about Edwin’s relationship status. Cedrick eventually released Catelyn from his embrace and draped a blanket over her form. He then stood up and stared into Granny Atherton’s eyes. “Granny Atherton, I’d like an explanation for what happened.” Granny Atherton gazed at Catelyn with her cane in hand, and her eyes filled with traces of regret and heartache.
“I’m not sure what happened either. All I know is that she tried to call for a cab but failed, and she came out again in an attempt to hitch a hike.”
Granny Atherton paused for a moment and realized she did not owe Cedrick an explanation. She looked at him coldly and said, “Explain? Even if she’s your girlfriend, this is still my company, Chandier Jewelry’s private matter. Not even your grandfather would ask me for an explanation, so why should I explain anything to you at all?” Cedrick then thought of the text message Catelyn sent to him about diarrhea, and his eyes slowly turned icy-cold. He rolled up his sleeves slowly and casually as he uttered, “Well, I’ve always been a protective person. Also, last I heard, I’m the head of the Masons now.” “Hmph.” Granny Atherton’s face sank as she continued, “Alright, then. The Athertons’ and Masons’ have been peaceful for so long now. I’d like to see which of us raised a better generation.” The pair glared arrogantly at each other.
Even though Granny Atherton was in her seventies, her aura and energy when she was angry were still powerful and intimidating.
However, Edwin knew that his grandmother had given up on her title, and on top of that, the inner relationships of the Athertons were pretty messy.
A war with the Masons was not something that they wanted.
Edwin uttered under his breath in Granny Atherton’s ear, “Grandma, we should focus on finding out the truth and clearing Chandier Jewelry’s name.’

Granny Atherton’s eyes twitched as she looked at Catelyn. The moment she first saw her, she had already felt an odd familiarity with her.
