Chapter 829
She was fine until Catelyn said Stella had woken up.
That meant Quinn had to make another choice, and her conspiracy was about to be revealed.
"Curse you! You're the one who should be dead, Catelyn! Why did you take my mother from me?! If you hadn't done
that, our family would've lived happily, and I wouldn't have poisoned my mother! You think I've had good sleep all these
years? I've been haunted by nightmares about my father questioning me why I did that to my mother!"
With a flustered look, Quinn pushed Catelyn angrily.
Surprisingly, Catelyn did not fall.
A sturdy palm rested on her lower back, followed by Cedrick stepping out behind her. He pursed his lips, showing his
displeasure.

skipped a beat.
When Quinn saw Cedrick, it felt as though her savior had come for her.
She suddenly burst into laughter. "Catelyn, it doesn't matter now if I'm not the granddaughter of the Atherton
family or not, because I have your husband's child in my womb! Grandpa Mason said that as long as I give birth to a
boy, he'll give me the shares of the Mason family!"
Draco felt utterly humiliated when his name was dragged into the pandemonium.
"I meant I'd give you the shares of the Mason family when you give birth to a child, but that's only if your surname
is Atherton!" Draco pointed his eagle headed crutch at Quinn shakily.
He could not believe it. He was tricked by a woman again.
First it was Maia, then it was Quinn!
He did not even dare to look at Sylvie as he felt that she must be laughing at his foolishness at the moment.
'If Quinn isn't the granddaughter of the Atherton family, where is Summer's daughter, then?'
He suddenly had a premonition.
"Master Cedrick, I know I did you wrong, but the child is innocent. Will you help me? I don't want to give birth to our
child in prison..."
Cedrick sneered, "How can you be sure that the child is mine?"
"Whose child would this be if they're not yours? I was a virgin before that night, and you were the only man in the
room with me, you know that!" Quinn's voice was getting louder and louder, and her heart was full of fear.
The only trump card she had left was the child in her womb.
Quinn was thoroughly unnerved and high-strung due to the tension.
"I know, but I also know that the night was dark and windy, and you were drunk." Cedrick shattered her hopes

Overwhelming despair enveloped Quinn, and the light of hope in her eyes gradually turned into anxiety. "What...are
you trying to say?”
"I have a wife and twin sons that I love deeply. A woman like you is just dirty in my eyes."
Cedrick glanced at Eason as he spoke.
Soon, Eason took out a CD from his briefcase and walked onto the stage. ’ If Miss Weir wants to find a father for your
child, you should watch carefully what the man looked like that night."
After Eason put in the CD and pressed the 'play' button, an obscene footage popped up on the screen.
The footage seemed to have been taken in a dimly lit hotel room...where Quinn and a man were evidently in the throes
of passion.
After several minutes into the footage, Eason paused and zoomed in, revealing a handsome man's face.
Quinn was downright flabbergasted as she grabbed at her chest, unable to breathe.
She did not know the man she had slept with!
"W-Who is this guy?!"
