In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 122
"Hello, you're the owner of a jewelry company. Nowadays, it's all about selling concepts and gimmicks. What can a single ring represent?" Jeanna immediately smacked the warm hands off her shoulders and resumed a carefree smirk. "I'm going to go send these samples for inspection, then I'll wait for my first design in the country to make a big splash."Her bewitching laughter dissipated into the air as she briskly left the room. The corners of Sophie's lips twitched, but she could not muster a smile. 'Jean has been enduring this nightmare quietly for five years. Who would be able to rescue her from this pit?'Jeanna dropped the samples off at the company's laboratory for testing. She then snuck off work and found herself in a bar near the company."One whisky, thanks," she ordered.There were very few people in the bar in broad daylight. Many seats were empty, but Jeanna still chose the high stool by the bar counter.The whiskey was quickly served, but Jeanna only stared at it, not

The wound on her wrist, which had already healed, suddenly felt itchy, as if it was intentionally reminding her of what had happened that day.As she pondered whether to ignore him, a pair of shiny leather shoes halted before her. In the next moment, a large hand seized her wrist. "Come with me."After being forcibly dragged out of the bar, the embarrassment on Jeanna's face was replaced by anger. She forcefully shook Sean's hand off and glared at him. "Are you out of your mind?""Even if I am, I'm still better than you. At least I won't commit suicide at every turn after getting drunk." Accustomed to speaking his mind casually, Sean regretted his words instantly when he saw her face turn pale.'Why must I touch on such a sore subject? As a man, it still feels like a nightmare whenever I recall her suicide. It's so suffocating to me, let alone her, the person involved.' Sean felt a surge of remorse and concern."Um... I just wanted to tell you that there are many creeps in bars. Y

Sean had never been someone who would reject advances coming from beautiful women with a figure that suited his taste. But for some reason, he felt no interest at all. Not only that, but he also felt a strong aversion and disgust to the overpowering scent of perfume emanating from her."Mr. Cheshire? Don't you miss me?" Noticing the lack of response, the woman increased the pressure of her embrace.However, Sean pulled himself away from her. "What's your name?""Mr. Cheshire, you're so cruel, you've forgotten my name. I'm Lily," the woman replied.'Lily?' Sean's crimson lips pursed into a straight line. He could not even remember how many women he had slept with, let alone their names or faces.Sean could not help but reflect, 'It's no wonder she just called me out for being a scumbag.' "Mr. Cheshire? What's wrong?" Lily did not want to let go of this chance encounter and was about to wrap her arms around him again.However, his icy gaze deterred her instantly. "Get lost. I don

Seeing that Vivienne did not mention the package, Cedric frowned and continued driving toward the kindergarten.The Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside, and unexpectedly, Vivienne did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, she lowered her head with a troubled expression. "Cedric, there's something I'm not sure whether I should tell you.""Huh?" Cedric responded."I…" Vivienne was about to give the story away but stopped halfway. "Forget it. It's not a big deal. Tristan is about to finish school. Let's go and wait for him at the gate." Cedric did not press further, and they picked up Tristan and drove back to the villa.As soon as they entered through the door, a maid brought a box to Vivienne. "Ms. Kerrigan, this came for you earlier today."Vivienne's hand that was holding onto Cedric's arm trembled slightly, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes."Have there been a lot of deliveries recently?" Cedric's cold voice sounded as his big hand reached for the box.Howeve

Cedric looked up at the window of Sophie's apartment and frowned in annoyance. The day his car was vandalized, he instantly recognized the figure from the surveillance video as Jeanna.At that moment, his phone beeped twice. He picked up the phone and swiped it to unlock the screen.Evander: [The package Ms. Kerrigan received at the company is shipped from an address very near Ms. Luxford's residence.]After reading the message from Evander, a cold glint flickered in his eyes. He tapped on the phone so vigorously that the screen was about to crack, dialing a number that he remembered by heart.In the apartment, Sophie was about to call Jeanna, who had not returned yet. But the phone rang before she could dial out, and she instantly answered without thinking.However, looking at the name displayed on the screen, Sophie's face turned pale in shock.Cedric rarely called her. In fact, she could not recall receiving even three calls from him in their three years of marriage. So much s

"Please let go of me." Sophie struggled to calm down her racing heartbeat. She frowned and looked at the large hands pinning her shoulder in displease.Cedric did not let go but only weakened his grip. His gaze shifted onto her pale and slender face. "Grandpa just made a will. Do you want to know what's in it?"'Grandpa made a will?' Sophie was surprised. When she went to the hospital to visit Jeff the other day, she told him that the baby was still around, hoping he would take good care of himself. How could he make a will in a hurry?"Grandpa left 40% of his equity to the eldest great-grandson of the Carlsons. Can you guess what he was thinking?" Cedric asked as his oppressive body pressed toward her.Sophie's face turned pale again. 'The eldest great-grandson of the Carlsons?'Jeff had indeed mentioned more than once that the great-grandson of the Carlsons must be Sophie's child—this was no news in the family.'Could it be that he's suspicious of me because of the will?' Upon

Sophie had been waiting for those words. She opened the car door with a smile and instantly breathed the air of freedom. With her legs feeling weak, she took a few laborious steps.However, just as she started to move, an angry voice sounded behind her. "Sophie Luxford, you'd better not be lying to me about anything. Otherwise, I'll crush your life so gravely that you'll ask for a quick death!"'I'll ask for a quick death? I've long felt like that! Way too long!' Sophie refuted inwardly.Upon seeing that she did not even stop, Cedric's hands clenched into fists on the steering wheel. As soon as the disappointment dissipated, a hint of wrath flashed across his eyes. 'Perhaps I've been overthinking things all this while!'-Back in her apartment, Sophie's first instinct was to lock the door, ensuring Cedric would not follow her upstairs. Only then did she bend over, clutching her abdomen and gasping for air.She had used up all her composure with her gamble that Cedric was merely t

"I've booked the flight tickets during the meeting. The driver will take you directly to the airport after the celebration. Upon your arrival in Nautilus Bay, someone will pick you up and take you to your apartment."In addition, the housekeeper responsible for your daily living arrangements has already moved in since yesterday. In case of emergencies, you can reach the nearby maternity and gynecology hospital within five minutes."Jeanna's meticulous arrangements evoked a subconscious smile in Sophie.However, just when she was about to thank her, there was a knock on the door."Come in," Sophie replied."Linda, there's a parcel for Ms. Luxford." Linda's assistant came in with an envelope in her hands.Linda took the parcel from her and habitually glanced at the sender's information. There was no information at all, so she could not help but frown. "Ms. Luxford?""It's okay, give it to me." Sophie took the envelope with a smile and tore off the seal on it.She had expected the
