NovelEnglishChapter 1045: For a brief second, Alexander stiffened, as if Cedric had peeled away his mask. Cedric's eyes narrowed slightly in that fleeting silence.
"Alexander, if I ever find out you put up a tombstone for my wife without my permission and kept it hidden, I'll personally ensure you lose everything-starting with your title as the country's richest man." The threat in Cedric's voice was unmistakable-undiluted and direct. So blatant, in fact, that Alexander found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

It was only then that he realized-buried beneath his tangled emotions was a sliver of fear. A wry smile tugged at his lips as he watched Cedric's retreating figure, a curse slipping from his mouth. "You won't be smug for much longer!" Cedric stepped out of the banquet hall, pausing at the entrance as he lit a cigarette. His secretary followed closely behind, but Cedric didn't even glance his way. "Watch Alexander closely. Something about him doesn't sit right."

Since Daniela's death in the fire three years ago, followed by Ryan and Lillian's disappearance, Cedri had been a shadow of his former self. He no longer seemed to care about anything-neither the company nor even himself.
The secretary often wondered if Cedric might have ended it all, just to reunite with Danielax if not for his duty to his grandmother. His leg was only beginning to recover, yet he treated it as if it didn't matter.
How could he be so reckless with his own health? If he kept this up hen would slowly wither away, like flowers abandoned in a forgotten garden, left to die from neglect.
