Gwendolyn’s fierce gaze engrossed Nico so much that he asked in a daze, “What do you mean?”
Crinkling her eyes in a smile, she replied, “The banquet taking place a few days from now will definitely
be entertaining.”
Not only was she going to make Gerhardt agree to work with her, but she was also going to break the
surprising news of her possible pregnancy to Charles.
Nico glanced at her pretty face and began to feel uneasy.
Back in Chanaea, a sleepless night loomed in Harrick Villa.
Early the next morning, Treyton listlessly propped his cheek in the palm of his hand as he ate his
breakfast. His expression was gloomy, and there were dark circles under his eyes
At that moment, Kieran walked down the stairs.
Treyton immediately looked up at him.
Kieran still looked unbelievably calm and aloof as ever. It did not appear as though he had missed any
sleep last night.
“You know, Kieran, I really envy the fact that you never take anything to heart,” Treyton remarked.
Kieran stayed silent and walked to his seat, where he began to eat breakfast quietly,
After the two of them were done eating, Treyton got up to bring Cedrick’s breakfast upstairs. He had
just reached the staircase when he heard a commotion coming from the entrance outside the garden.
“They came so soon? Here I was thinking that we’d finally be able to enjoy a quiet breakfast for once,”
Treyton grumbled.
Halting in his tracks, he was prepared to go out and take a look. However, Kieran stopped him by
instructing, “I’ll go. You should bring Cedrick’s breakfast to him.”
“All right.”
Treyton opened the door to the master bedroom and found that Cedrick had woken up and was fully
dressed. The latter stood ramrod straight by the floor–to–ceiling window, listening closely to the noise
outside through the curtains.
“Kieran is taking care of it. You should ignore it and have your breakfast first,” Treyton urged.
Cedrick did not say anything, nor did he move. Holding his arm, Treyton guided him to a chair.
Meanwhile, a large group of people showed up at the gate.
When Kieran walked into the garden, he took a rough look around and spotted Xander and Yael
leading a few bodyguards and some esteemed directors of Jenson Group.
Even Craig had come along with his subordinates from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
It was quite the scene.

Craig was the first to speak at the sight of Kieran. “Fancy seeing you here, Mr. Kieran! Mr. Cedrick
hasn’t shown up at the Federal Bureau of Investigation in a long time. Could he have fallen ill?”
Kieran hated their false niceties and could not be bothered to mirror them. “I can’t stand nonsense; cut
it out, and just tell me what you’re here for.”
Craig was slightly taken aback, so he chuckled loudly to mask his awkwardness. “You truly do live up to
the rumors about you, Mr. Kieran.”
Kieran kept his hands tucked in his pockets as he listened to Craig’s gibberish expressionlessly.
The atmosphere became a little tense. “I’m here to talk to Cedrick about a major family matter, Kieran.
It would be great if you could let us in,” Yael volunteered.
Kieran turned them down curtly. “No. Cedrick’s down with a cold.”
Xander glared at Kieran from behind Yael. “It’s been too many days for that to be plausible. Couldn’t
you at least try to change to a more believable excuse? Doesn’t that just make you look bad that he’s
not getting better even though you’re here?”
Kieran was unmoved. “He’s got influenza. Just tell me what you want, and I’ll relay it to him,” he said in
a flat tone.
Influenza?
Yael and Xander exchanged glances. It seemed that they did not believe Kieran.
Xander did not want to listen to any more of Kieran’s excuses, so he finally came clean about the
purpose of his visit.
“I heard that Cedrick went blind. Well, the Jenson family has a rule which states that those with
disabilities are not fit to run the family. He seldom goes to Jenson Group because of his health, causing
the company’s performance in the recent month to drop. Our investors and directors are displeased
with him!”
One of the directors summoned by him to Harrick Villa chipped in, “Yes. Since Mr. Cedrick can’t do
anything in our favor anymore, we need to re–elect the CEO.”
Kieran’s silence only served to encourage Xander. Loudly, the latter said, “How could a blind man be
the head of the Jenson family? If word of this gets out, it will besmirch the good name of our family! We
came here today to bring Cedrick to our ancestral hall and have him relinquish his control over the
family in front of every single one of our ancestors.”
Kieran scoffed, which was a rare expression for him to display. “If it weren’t for Cedrick, the Jenson
family would never have become the richest family that it is today. The glory he brought to the Jenson
family and Jenson Group is unprecedented. You all may be part of the Jenson family as well, but what
have you guys brought to the table? What right do you have to stand here and clamor?”
Xander was rendered speechless by Kieran’s outburst.
All the employees of Jenson Group only knew about Cedrick. They hardly ever heard of Yael’s name,
let alone Xander’s.
Meanwhile, Yael began to put on a sorrowful expression.
“You’re right, Kieran. Cedrick is a good kid. I’m most distressed to learn that such a tragedy has
befallen Him. If it weren’t for the unbreachable family rule, he would really be the perfect candidate to
lead our

family.”

“You’re distressed?” Kieran’s tone was chilly. “If that’s the case, blind yourself now, as it will at least
make you a loving uncle to Cedrick. But you won’t dare to do so because you’re ungrateful, heartless,
and power–hungry.”
Yael was stumped for words.
The other members of the Jenson family paled as well.
Everyone had heard of Kieran being harsh and straightforward with his insults, but none of them could
say anything to retort him.
Seeing that the Jensons had fallen silent, Kieran coldly retracted his gaze from Yael and turned to
Craig. “What do you want?”
Craig simply smiled and glanced at his subordinates.
Jasper Young, the leader of the ninth unit in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, stepped forth to offer
an explanation.
“Mr. Kieran, I regret to inform you that Mr. Cedrick’s blindness renders him incompetent to maintain his
position as the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Thus, everyone in the bureau has made
the unanimous decision to request Mr. Cedrick to show up and elect Mr. Newton as the new head of
the bureau.”
Kieran looked at Craig coldly. “Since you’re the mastermind behind that decision, aren’t you going to
say some courtesies?”
The latter’s eyes glinted with a faint hint of a smile as he said calmly, “Since Mr. Cedrick is having some
health issues, he should let go of such a huge responsibility and recuperate at home with leisure. I only
did this for the Federal Bureau of Investigation to have a better future.”
Kieran did not respond to his words.
Craig might be as power–hungry as Yael, but he was not trying to hide it, making him more open and
honest than the other man.
The crowd remained at a standstill in front of the gate.
When Xander noticed that Kieran had stopped running them down, he began to taunt him again.
“I don’t know what benefits Cedrick has given you for you to help him like this, Mr. Kieran. However, if
refuse to let us meet him today, we’ll have no choice but to break into the villa.”
you
Right as he finished speaking, the bodyguards that Asher had stationed around the villa emerged from
their hiding spots and surrounded the crowd.
The loud noise alarmed Xander.
Frowning, Yael said in displeasure, “As the head of the Jenson family, Cedrick will be deemed derelict
in his duty if this incident escalates into a fight and Old Mr. Jenson hears of this. Is the Harris family
ready to take on that responsibility?”
Kieran’s gaze became stony, but he remained silent.

The floor–to–ceiling window on the balcony of a third–floor bedroom opened, and Cedrick’s magnetic,
deep voice traveled from the villa.
“How impatient of you, Uncle Yael. You just want the right to lead the family, don’t you? I can give that
to you.”
Following his voice, everyone downstairs looked to the balcony on the third floor of the villa.
Cedrick was standing beside the railing of the balcony lazily. Despite being dressed in a fluffy gray
robe, he still looked aloof, intimidating, and dignified.
A pair of sunglasses covered half of his calm countenance. His head was bent down slightly as if he
were looking at the people gathered at the gate to his villa.
Craig furrowed his brows tightly, scrutinizing Cedrick’s orbs that were shielded by sunglasses with
narrowed eyes from afar.
