Chapter 442:
“Do you really think I'm someone to be trampled upon?”
Cedric’s gaze was piercing, sending a chill down Katrina's spine.
Katrina couldn't get an answer from Cedric, so she turned to Shirley for it.
At first, Shirley seemed determined to keep her lips sealed.
But under Katrina's relentless questioning, she relented.
“Cedric likes men.”
The confession landed like a thunderbolt, leaving Katrina utterly stunned and scrambling to process it.
“Excuse me, what?”
Shirley, sensing there was no point in sugarcoating, laid it out plainly.

Katrina's nerves frayed as she pressed,
“Has he dated men?”
“No, but...”
Katrina felt a flicker of relief, but Shirley continued,
“His secretary? They've been together for over ten years. Before that, they were classmates. And yes, he’s a
man.”
Katrina quickly dismissed it.

“That hardly proves anything.”
“His driver, too,” Shirley added.
“Another man who's been by his side for just as long.”
Katrina bit her lip, stubbornly insisting,
“That still doesn’t mean anything significant.”
“And what about Ryan?” Shirley pressed.
“Cedric gets along with him too. Think about it—Cedric may seem distant, but he has close ties with many men.
Women approach him all the time, given his status, but he’s never chosen one. Why do you think that is?”
Katrina struggled to cup with a reply.
“Aunt Katrina, if you were a man with a good job, plenty of money, and lots of influence—everything looking
perfect—but you never got married or even had a long-term girlfriend, what do you think that would mean?”
“That doesn’t prove he’s into men,” Katrina said, refusing to back down.
“Maybe, but doesn’t it at least suggest he has little interest in women? | even hired a private investigator. Did
you know all his secretaries are men? For a company of that size, it’s practically unheard of! Not a single woman.
In a country this big, where else would you find something like that? Doesn't that raise a flag?”

“But Daniela is a woman, isn't she?”
“Daniela’s the exception, the only one,” Shirley replied firmly.
“Even with Lillian, Cedric is distant. Maybe he doesn’t see Daniela as a typical woman. To him, she’s more like a
man, someone strong enough to manage an empire that massive. She's anything but ordinary.”
Katrina sat in silence for a moment, only to realize Shirley had already hung up.
