Chapter 766
"Sorry. Everything all happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to inform you."
Catelyn stared at Cedrick uneasily.
Before he returned, her mind was brimming with questions as she had lots to ask, including if he had a hit-and-run
involving Stella, but...
When she saw him, she lost the determination to do so.
She was afraid that all his answers would indicate that he was responsible because she would not know how she
would face Stella and Cedrick afterward.
However, he was calm and did not reek of alcohol, and she saw no guilty conscience after an accident from him. If
she asked the question out of a sudden, it would seem she did not trust him all the while.
Finally, she pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Is it something troubling? I called you last night, but you didn't
answer. It
"It's all a matter of work, but it's resolved now. what happened to those phone calls last night?" Cedrickdid not plan

pocket to keep them warm.
"With Charles?"
Cedrick paused, then nodded lightly. "Yes."
Catelyn's breath paused at this.
He was lying!
When she could not find him last night, she called both Charles and Eason, but neither of them knew where Cedrick
had gone.
Here he was, lying to her that he was with Charles.
'But why?'
Catelyn took out her hand from his pocket with a forced smile and glanced at the Mercedis Maybach parked behind
him, which was the same as the car that hit Stella in the footage.
What made her heart skip the most was that there were several scratches in different shades on the bumper on
the front of the car.
She looked at Cedrick in bewilderment.
He also noticed that she was staring at the front of the car, so he said casually, "On the way back, a biker almost
crashed into my car, hence the scratches. I'll have someone touch up the paint later.
Let's go upstairs."
Cedrick subconsciously reached out to hold her hand once more, but Catelyn unwittingly put her hands in her
pockets and took a half step back. "I rarely see you drive your Mercedis Maybach.
Don't you always drive your Bently to work?"
With his hand grabbing at nothingness, he stared at Catelyn quietly with his eyes narrowed.
After getting along for so long, he thought he knew her very well. Still, he could not tell if her subconscious action
was to avoid him or if it was just the cold weather.
'No, she was definitely resisting me.'
"What happened yesterday?"
Catelyn was flustered by his sharp eyes, and she wanted to ask about the accident, but her utterance was changed
as her mind was a mess.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"My live broadcast yesterday was very good, and the popularity of Marine Pearl Bay has increased, ahead of
Pentaland Group. I want to share the news with you, but you're not here..."
She did not dare to meet his gaze right after and hurriedly ran to the elevator, she felt there was more to the
accident than what met the eye.
'It can't be him, and these pieces of evidence should be just a coincidence. Cedrick isn't the type of person who hit-
and-run.
He'll admit it if he's the one.' Catelyn pondered, she wanted to find out about this on her own.
Cedrick always felt that Catelyn was strange. When she turned around, he quickly followed and spread her arms
from behind to embrace her.
With his chest against her back, she could feel his heartbeat.
"Catelyn, we're a married couple now, so I hope you trust me enough," came his husky voice. "You can tell me
anything and let me help you."
Catelyn's heart felt like it nearly popped out of her chest.
She desperately wanted to be on his side, but there were too many coincidences that associated him with the hit-
and-run culprit.
