All Chapters of In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Sophie's astonishment was evident upon learning of the transfer of 40% of his shares to Cherry.Gathering herself after the initial shock, she promptly objected, "Grandpa, Cherry can't accept these shares."She made her intentions clear: she wished to minimize Cherry's ties with the Carlson family, beyond their blood relation.Jeff stood firm. "Soph, this is my genuine wish. As your and Cedric’s child and my great-grandchild, Cherry rightfully deserves this."His declaration sparked speculation among the guests, who now pondered Cherry's parentage."Is she Cedric or Austin's child? She seems to resemble Cedric more."Austin frowned as Jeff deliberately clarified Cherry's identity. He was about to intervene, aligning the situation with his plan, but Cedric's mocking and icy gaze stopped him.Cedric subtly revealed a red-bordered document in his pocket—his and Sophie’s marriage certificate—which silenced Austin.Cedric's eyes gleamed with triumph. Although he had intended to anno

Cedric's keen gaze swept the room, noting the housekeeper guiding Tristan toward the restroom. He was about to follow them, but Sean stopped him. "Hey, bro, you're not actually mad at me, are you? We’re practically brothers. I’m totally on your side."Cedric paused, his expression icy. "Since when are we like brothers? You seem to be getting carried away with your imagination. You’d make a good castrato with that kind of thinking.""Nonsense!" Sean bristled at the comparison. "I'm nothing like a castrato! I mean, castrati can’t... Well, you know!"Sean was more concerned about correcting the anatomical challenges of castrati than defending his relationship with Cedric, almost causing Cedric to spit out his wine."Who are you calling a castrato? Cedric, we’re in the same boat. How long has it been since you were with a woman? Don't pretend Valerie counts. I don’t believe it for a second." Sean had seen Cedric’s descent into despair and his reckless dive into the sea for Sophie five

Austin rushed in, saw Sophie sitting on the floor in a daze, and immediately pulled her into his arms.Cedric's expression dimmed, and his sharp gaze landed on Austin's hands that were holding Sophie."Cedric, you only have two hands and limited time," Austin reminded him.Austin's reminder changed his expression. He glanced at the unconscious Tristan in his arms, quickly got up, and walked toward the door.Blood dripped onto the clean white floor tiles as he strode forward, a sight that was shocking to the eye.Upon hearing the commotion, Jeff, Matthew, and Melissa rushed over and were startled too."What happened here? What are you people still standing here? Call 911 and go to the hospital now!" Jeff let out a deep roar, his expression showing both urgency and worry.Although he did not like Vivienne and did not want to acknowledge Tristan, he was still his great-grandson, so how could he not care?"Father, don't get too worked up. Take care of your health," Matthew comforte

Cedric frowned, but his gaze was particularly firm. "It has nothing to do with her."'Sophie has always been a woman with extreme pride at heart, just like a peacock. Even if she's been forced into a corner, she'll still uphold her proud demeanor. Even if she's planned to seek revenge, she'll never harm Tristan.'Melissa was instantly offended. "Cedric, have you lost your mind?! Why are you still speaking up for her? There was no one else in the restroom. Who else could it be if it wasn't her? Are you saying that Tristan knocked himself unconscious with a stick?" Seeing Melissa rambling incessantly, Matthew could not help but roar, "Can you please keep quiet for a moment?"Melissa was not one to back down. "Why are you yelling at me? It's Sophie who tried to kill someone, not me."Just as the two were about to start arguing, they were silenced by Cedric's cold voice. "That's enough! Either you stay here quietly, or you go home now and take care of Grandpa.""Your grandpa has ser

Vivienne suddenly grabbed Sophie's arm, cried, and shouted agitatedly, "Sophie, I know you hate me. You made me make a fool out of myself at the charity gala, instigated Valerie to interfere in my relationship with Cedric, and turned me into someone everyone despises. You're just seeking revenge on me!"Just as everyone assumed she'd harm Sophie, she unexpectedly dropped to her knees with a thud, startling both Sophie and the onlookers. "However you wish to retaliate against me, I accept it, but I implore you to spare my son."Tristan was merely three years old five years ago. He acted out of fear that you might abduct him again, so he inadvertently pushed you. He never intended for you to fall into the sea. He's been tormented by guilt, unable to sleep at night all these years. He's innocent!"It's all my fault. I vow to leave Cedric and this place tomorrow, never to cross your path again. Please, spare my child. He's still so young, so blameless."Her tearful plea for mercy cut t
