His dark, pensive eyes gleamed as he clearly took in the shocked or scared expressions on everyone’s
faces.
Then, he curled his lips into a sneer.
“When have I admitted that I was blind?” “H-How is this possible? Your eyes are fine?” Colors drained
from Yael’s wrinkled countenance.
Soon, he wrapped his mind around the situation.
“Was this all a deliberate setup?” Cedrick neither denied nor admitted and merely responded casually,
“I should thank you for helping me to get rid of all those people with ulterior motives in one fell swoop,
Uncle Yael.
” Yael was resentful.
“Since your eyes are fine, everything that happened recently is just a misunderstanding.
It’s not like anyone committed a grave mistake, so on what basis are you punishing everyone present?”
“Spreading rumors about my blindness, deliberately causing trouble at Harrick Villa, abusing your
position as a public officer for personal gain, and some of you even indulge in a hedonistic lifestyle.
Should I list them all out, Uncle Yael?” Cedrick paused briefly.
The hint of mockery on his face intensified.
“In other words, I have the final say here.
Do you really think I had no idea about all your dirty little secrets?” Many people inside the conference
room averted their gazes and didn’t dare to speak.
Neville added indignantly, “You’re all easily swayed by hearsay! In the past, Mr. Cedrick was merely
turning a blind eye to your antics.
Did you really take yourselves for someone special? I suggest those who are sensible take your
penalty notices and get lost at once!” At that point, Yael felt humiliated and was rendered speechless.
He had foolishly believed Craig’s words and was played by Cedrick.
“Very well! We shall see each other next time, Cedrick.
” Yael snorted and turned around to leave.
Cedrick suddenly reminded him, “You’re being reassigned to Mapleton for five years, Uncle Yael.
You’ll have to take extra good care of your health for us to have the chance to meet again.
” Infuriated, Yael glared at Cedrick before striding away.
Following his departure, the elders of the Jenson family and Jenson Group’s directors also left in
dejection since they were now without a leader.
In less than a few minutes, more than half of the people present in the conference room were vacated.
Cedrick turned to Craig, who had been silent.
“You haven’t expressed your opinion.
Are you not satisfied because you think the penalty is too light?” Craig chuckled.
Yael doesn’t know about the virus in Cedrick’s body, but I do.
When he saved Charles from Cedrick, Charles had personally told him about that matter as a condition
for his rescue.
“Mr. Cedrick, do you think you can hide your real condition with this drastic maneuver?” Cedrick arched
his brows slightly.
“Even I’m not clear about what condition I have.
Why don’t you enlighten me?” Craig parted his lips and hesitated to speak as he suddenly realized it
was another one of Cedrick’s traps.
The record of Charles’ offense stated that he had stolen the S40 strong corrosive potion from the
laboratory.
If Craig were to tell the truth, that meant he knew the inside story.
In that case, Charles’ misdeed would inevitably be connected to him.
Cedrick was taking advantage of Craig’s inability to divulge the truth even if the latter was in the know.
“Well done, Mr. Cedrick.
I admit defeat this time!” Craig got up, bowed at Cedrick, and turned to leave.
“Stop right there.
” Cedrick glanced at Swain.
“Since you doubt my health status, it is only right for me to clear up the confusion to avoid unnecessary
troubles in the future.
” Swain immediately handed over the health reports from thirteen hospitals, verifying Cedrick was in the
pink of health, to Craig.
Craig swept his eyes across the content, knowing those reports were generated for Cedrick with
Kieran’s help.
Unable to swallow his anger, he flashed a faint smile.
“Mr. Cedrick, you’re successful in both officialdom and the business world, and for that, I admire you.
Regrettably, you’re unlucky in love and are fated to end up as a loner.
” Cedrick knitted his brows and grimaced instantaneously.
Craig feigned astonishment.
“Oh? Judging by your expression, it seems like you’re still unaware.
Your fiancée, Ms. Harris, and Charles announced that they would hold a wedding ceremony in Erihal’s
Flola Grand Cathedral a few days from now.
This article is even featured on international news.
Don’t you browse the internet, Mr. Cedrick?” Cedrick stared at Craig frostily.
It was as if a bomb had erupted in his mind as he clenched his fists until his veins bulged.
Craig enjoyed looking at the discomposed and enraged expression on Cedrick’s visage, guffawing as
he took his leave.
Soon, only Neville, Swain, and Treyton were left in the conference room.
Treyton walked over and comforted Cedrick, “Don’t believe Craig’s words.
Kiddo must be doing that to help you acquire the antidote.
I’m sure she doesn’t genuinely want to marry Charles.
I suspect this is a fake marriage.
” Cedrick bored his eyes into Treyton.
“You already knew this and purposely deceived me?” Treyton looked away as he said sheepishly, “Y-
Yes…” Cedrick’s aura turned cold and austere.
A violent storm brewed in his dark eyes.
“Immediately arrange a private plane.
We’re flying to Erihal tonight!” As he walked toward the door, an unbearable pain flared up in his chest.
The metallic scent of blood surged up his throat, and an intense sense of suffocation gripped him.
He staggered a few steps, spewed a mouthful of blood, and passed out.
“Boss!” “Cedrick!” Neville, Swain, and Treyton were frightened when they saw Cedrick coughing up
blood and fainting.
Neville hastily carried Cedrick on his back and brought the latter to the hospital in the city.
Then, they summoned Kieran over to check on Cedrick.
Cedrick’s towering rage had prompted the virus within him to spread faster, causing him to puke blood
and go into a coma.
Kieran administered Cedrick with some intravenous immunostimulators.
Subsequently, Cedrick remained unconscious for an extended period.
By the time he woke up again, it was already two days later.
“Gwenny! He jolted awake, glanced at the date, and immediately tried to get out of bed but was
stopped by Treyton.
Eyes bloodshot, Cedrick roared hysterically like a madman, “Get out of my way.
I want to find Gwenny! She’ll be marrying Charles in three days.
I can’t watch her sacrifice herself for the sake of obtaining the antidote! Move!” Treyton could only try
his best to prevent Cedrick from getting off the bed.
When Asher returned, he stood at the foot of the bed, watching quietly before piping up, “A few days
ago, Erihal’s Duke Gerhardt suddenly contacted me, saying Kiddo wishes to collaborate with him.
In exchange, they demand trade tax exemption rights in Chanaea.
” Cedrick fell silent at once.
He ceased grappling with Treyton and turned to look at Asher with a severe expression, swiftly
grasping the situation.
“Are you suggesting I should tackle this issue via Duke Gerhardt?” Asher nodded.
“Trade and taxation affairs are indeed under the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s jurisdiction, but only
your side has the authority to deploy troops.
” Their forces were private, while Cedrick had the power to mobilize the national army.
Cedrick was quiet for a while.
His restlessness started to dissipate as he regained his composure.
After discussing further with Asher, he had an idea.
Still, he was slightly baffled by Asher’s initiative to offer assistance.
“Haven’t you always disliked me and wanted to replace me with someone else as your brother-in-law?
Why are you helping me?” “I do dislike you, but I despise Charles more.
Besides, giving you advice does not mean I’ve accepted you.
You’re still a long way from winning my acknowledgment to be my brother-in-law.
” Cedrick had a good grasp on differentiating personal grudges from general affairs.
He pursed his lips and spoke in a rare amiable tone.
“In that case, I’ll have to perform well in the future, striving to win your approval sooner!” Treyton leaned
close to Cedrick and reminded in an undertone, “Don’t forget about Kieran and me! After you return
from Erihal and before you get married to our sister, the three of us will give you difficult tasks.
” “Okay.
I’m ready whenever!” The ambiance inside the ward turned amicable once again.
