In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 212
The financial channel on TV was reporting on how Paramount Inc. had taken the project from X Corp.Tristan tilted his little head and asked Vivienne with a puzzled expression, "Mommy, isn't Daddy the strongest? How did someone else snatch the project away from him?”"Tristan, your father is certainly the strongest there is." Vivienne turned off the TV, her gentle smile showing signs of strain. Losing the project this time was not because Cedric was not good enough, but because he had deliberately let Sophie win.Upon seeing her uneasy expression, Tristan's eyes glinted with a flash of fear, and he quickly looked down at his feet. "Mommy, I'll go upstairs to finish my homework.""Go ahead... Oh, wait!" Vivienne stopped Tristan when he was about to go upstairs.His shoulders instantly tensed up, and he could not even look directly at her. "Mommy, is there anything else?""Have you seen the girl from the charity gala at school?" Vivienne asked."No, I haven't." Tristan shook his he

The door to the bedroom upstairs was closed, but a small gap was left open, and Tristan pressed his ear against the tight gap. Although he did not hear the entire conversation clearly, he could still hear about sixty or seventy percent of it."What should I do? Is Mommy going to hurt Cherry?" Upon recalling the events from five years ago, Tristan's face turned pale. Before that incident, he had regarded his mother as the epitome of gentleness. However, following that event, he found himself unable to sleep at night, growing increasingly fearful of her as he grew older.Footsteps sounded from the staircase, and Tristan quickly sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and doodled on his workbook.Vivienne glanced in through the gap, seeing him doing homework before reassuringly returning to her room.After maintaining the posture for over ten minutes, Tristan quietly got up and closed the door.'What should I do? I can't even protect myself, how can I protect Cherry?'The young boy's

Cherry flung her limbs perfectly, but her round eyes darted left and right incessantly. In the past few days, she could not shake the feeling that someone was secretly watching her, and it did not feel friendly."What are you looking at?" Reyna, who was beside her, asked curiously, glancing around.However, other than their schoolmates and the PE teachers supervising them, she did not see anything out of the ordinary."I'm thinking of a riddle for you," Cherry replied.As soon as Reyna heard there was a riddle, her eyes lit up behind her glasses. When the midday exercises ended, she immediately wrapped her arms around Cherry's. "Quick, tell me, what's today's riddle?""What's the rush? We'll talk about it when we get back to the classroom." Cherry smiled and glanced around.'Whoever infiltrated the school likely isn't part of a large group. If it's a lone perpetrator, they won't risk acting in front of witnesses unless they are reckless. So, as long as there's always someone arou

The large hand that was reaching for Cherry suddenly dropped as if it were a robotic arm that had just lost power, and Alfred's body collapsed to the ground.Tristan's small chest heaved vigorously, his face devoid of any color except a faint pallor. In his hand, there was a large brick, stained with fresh blood."I... I... I…" he repeated three times, unable to steady his breathing.In a panic, he threw the brick away, shook his head, stepped backward in fear until his body lost balance, and fell onto the edge of the flower bed.The fear gripping him was reminiscent of five years ago. He dared not look at the person lying out cold on the ground, and his lips trembled uneasily. "Did... Did I... Kill him?"Cherry was the one who calmed down first, walked up to Alfred, and placed her fingers under his nose to confirm if he was still breathing. Soon, she sighed in relief. "You didn't kill anyone. He's still alive, probably just unconscious."While saying so, she kicked Alfred. 'This

When Tristan came to his senses, Cherry was already nowhere to be seen. His face was flushed with excitement and joy. 'She said we can be friends!'-At Luxford Group.After hanging up, Sophie smirked, and a hint of pride flickered in her eyes.She had long known that Vivienne would target Cherry once she found out about her existence. That's why, even before returning to Carlosia, she hired two Carlosian-Altrurian mercenaries from Altruria at a high salary to secretly protect Cherry's safety.Otherwise, how could she possibly feel at ease letting her daughter come and go under Vivienne's watchful eyes every day?However, to her surprise, Tristan actually came to Cherry's help.Thinking of her daughter's somewhat vigilant response, she smiled, turned to Linda, and said, "Order a cherry-flavored cake for me, with extra cherries and cream.""I'm afraid that a cake might not be enough to soothe Cherry's wounded heart." Having overheard Sophie's conversation, Linda felt a pang of s

Early the next morning, a heated argument broke out in the CEO's office of Luxford Group.Jeanna propped her arms against the desk, looking as if she was interrogating Sophie. "Sophie Luxford, have you ever seen a mother like yourself? What if something happened to Cherry?"'Villians don't always act accordingly! What if Vivienne didn't play along this time and just asked the culprit to strangle Cherry to death on the spot? Would those two mercenaries have arrived in time to save her?"Don't be angry. I've been a mother like this for years," Sophie replied calmly.Otherwise, how could she, a single woman, have raised a child alone while establishing a business empire like Paramount Inc.?"Moreover, it's precisely because I'm such a mother that Cherry is smarter, more independent, and thoughtful than other children," Sophie added."You still have the nerve to argue! Linda, let's both resign. Otherwise, if someone were to kidnap us someday, she wouldn't even bother to rescue us!" J

"Is this video fake? You didn't mention this at all that day!" Jeanna looked at the frowning Sophie.She had not mentioned this because no reporters or media had been allowed at the charity gala that evening. Even the attendees had been informed beforehand that no photography or recording was allowed to ensure privacy and secrecy. That was why she had not rushed to respond to Austin's lie.However, she had not expected someone to have made preparations beforehand and leaked the information to a TV station."Now that this is out, I bet you that the other media outlets will go crazy. Not only did you come back from the dead, but you also got married to your ex-husband's cousin. I can already imagine the headlines on the tabloids tomorrow," Jeanna commented in a joking tone, but her eyes betrayed her concern.She hoped the news was true, that Sophie had accepted Austin. But what was fake would still stay fake.Even though the facts were false, they would still result in genuine harm

At the Carlson residence...Jeff stared at the TV intently, barely even breathing softly. After the news broadcast ended, he instructed the servant to rewind and replay the news, ensuring that what he had seen was indeed true."Soph... Sophie is alive!" His trembling body rose from the couch, his mind overwhelmed with excitement. His entire body swayed from side to side due to the sudden rush of blood to his head, and his aged face could not even conceal his joy."Father, please be careful." Matthew quickly stood up and supported his father, fearing he might get too excited and fall."I told you, God wouldn't be foolish as to take Soph away from us. She's finally returned!" Jeff exclaimed.In the past five years, if he had not been longing for Sophie to come back safely with the child in her womb, he might have given up and passed on long ago!"Father, you're so excited about Sophie's return, but she might not even appreciate it. And there's that child too, Austin personally admi
