Chapter 1406

For years, she had been disguising herself as Joanna and had always wanted to take off her mask.

She finally met Cat and could not pretend anymore.

"Is it really you?" Catelyn said in a trembling voice and stared incredulously at her face, "How did you become like this? What happened to you?"

"I don't know where to start."

"Don't worry. We have plenty of time. Back when I returned from Fidelysia, everyone told me that you eloped with Patrick."

Elope?

So, that was how the Atherton family explained her disappearance.

Joanne had so much she wanted to tell Catelyn.

But when the words came to the tip of her tongue, she hesitated.

After all, the Atherton family was her grandmother's family, and Edwin and she were so close. Would Catelyn believe that Edwin was trying to hunt her down?

Even if she did, she would most likely confront Edwin. By then, their kinship would be damaged.

Cat hadn't been involved in those things, and it was wrong to rope her in now.

"What's wrong?" Meeting with Joanne's silence, Catelyn strained her face and said, "Am I your friend or not? We've known each other for years, and you can tell me everything. I will always be by your side."

Joanne shook her head.

"Things are not as simple as you think. Patrick and I were framed."

Joanne briefly told Catelyn what happened. Patrick and she were caught in bed, but she didn't reveal the fact that Edwin was trying to kill her. She only mentioned the divorce papers.

When she left the Atherton family, she was caught in an accident. The car flipped over, and she was disfigured. Patrick saved her and took her abroad for cosmetic surgery.

She had been lying in the hospital for almost a year and naturally hadn't paid attention to the outside world. When she recovered, she learned that Catelyn's daughter had gone missing. She wanted to help, bu it was way too late.

Later, she saw the grand wedding held by Cedrick and Catelyn. Everything had gone back to normal, and the couple was affectionate.

And Edwin got together with Sharon.

She had completely disappeared from their sight. This time she came back to start over with a new identity.

"I knew you couldn't possibly elope with Patrick. This is how it was!" Catelyn said, relieved, but then furrowed her brows," You said that someone framed you and Patrick. Could it be Noah?" Joanne pursed her lips and smiled sarcastically.

"Who knows? Perhaps the culprit was annoyed that I was hogging the title of Mrs. Atherton."

Noah was certainly the pusher, but no one knew for sure if Edwin was not behind her actions. When the two killers pushed her off the cliff, they claimed it was an order from Edwin. Catelyn felt sorry for her friend's suffering over the years.

If she had found Joanne earlier, she would have prevented everything from happening.

"I'll take you to see my cousin and clarify everything." Catelyn tried to lead Joanne outside.

Joanne's face changed in shock. She hurriedly checked Catelyn and said with a pleading look, "No. Just take it that you haven't seen me, or you didn't recognize me today.

Don't tell Edwin or anyone else about my return."

Catelyn's gaze was penetrating as she looked at Joanne.

"Is it because of Sharon?"

"No. I'm living a comfortable life. I don't want the peace to be disrupted."

But Catelyn believed that Joanne was just disgusted with Sharon.
