Chapter 1074
Chapter 1074 "I don’t need you to tell me what to do! I'm giving you two choices. You can either take Catelyn away or
turn against me!"
Edwin looked at Catelyn, who had a pale face.
Catelyn was now clutching Edwin tightly like she was clutching a straw. She was begging him with her tearful eyes.
Joanne also ran over, and she said to Cedrick, "If you want to get back at Mr. Clark, you can take him to the police. Why
would you want to kill him? If Mr. Clark died here today, do you think Miss Coleman could rest in peace?"
Edwin said nothing more. He took Catelyn's hand to make his position clear.
Feeling the warmth in her palm, Catelyn threw a grateful gaze at Edwin.

Ezekiel today!"
Immediately after that, a large group of black-clad bodyguards entered the hall, and they blocked the entire place.
There were quite a lot of bodyguards, but Edwin was not intimidated. He teased, "Looks like you're well prepared.
What are you going to do? You want not only take Catelyn's father's life but also Catelyn's and mine?"
The atmosphere was extremely tense. Cedrick ignored Edwin's tease and glanced at the bodyguards.
A group of bodyguards were about to charge at Edwin...
"Wait a minute!" Catelyn thought it was no use remaining in the deadlock. She went ahead of Edwin and said to
Cedrick, "I know you won't let it go. You must avenge Aunt Janice. Do you dare to bet with me?"
Cedrick stared at Catelyn with stern eyes, "How do you want to bet with me?"
"Let God decide who will pay for Aunt Janice's death." Catelyn stared steadily at Cedrick, her eyes welling up with
tears, but her voice calm. After she finished, she whispered something into Edwin's ear.
Hearing Catelyn's words, Edwin showed a shocked expression...
But looking at the determination in Catelyn's eyes and the fury in Cedrick's eyes, Edwin thought that maybe
Catelyn's proposal was the best way to settle the conflict.
He believed that Cedrick still had some sense!
Catelyn's proposal was simple. She was willing to give her life for Janice's death in her father's name. Since Cedrick
wanted Ezekiel to kill himself with the gun, Catelyn was willing to take the bullet.
The pistol held six bullets, but it would only be loaded with one. Then Ezekiel and Catelyn would take turns pulling
the trigger and shooting themselves.

If Ezekiel got himself killed, Catelyn wouldn't blame Cedrick.
But if Catelyn got herself killed, Cedrick couldn't blame Ezekiel either, since everything was paid off in Catelyn's
death. Whoever took the bullet, Janice's death was avenged.
Cedrick stared at Catelyn, his eyes as sharp and cold as a blade like he was about to pierce through her.
'Catelyn is risking her life forthat shrewd man...
'No! Maybe she’s just scaring me... 1
Cedrick was on the verge of losing control when Catelyn charged up to Ezekiel to knock the gun out of his hand.
'Is she challenging me? Does she think I'll give up? Well, since she wants to bet, I'll let her!’
'If she wants to see who's more ruthless, I won't let her down...'
They all agreed to Catelyn's proposal. And then the game began.
Everyone held their breath.
Edwin loaded the pistol and laid it on the table. He reminded Catelyn and Cedrick solemnly, "Are you sure you want to do
this? If the bullet happens to be on the first shot, you'll be dead straight away. There's no chance of coming back..."
