In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 21
There was a shareholder meeting going on in the Carlson Group conference room. Cedric was listening without showing much interest. He unlocked his cell phone screen and looked at the stock market. He raised his brows slightly when he saw a certain set of numbers. It had descended to the bottom limit once more.“Mrs. Carlson, a shareholders’ meeting is being held inside. You can’t go in.”There was a commotion outside the door. Cedric locked his cell phone and grinned unknowingly as he glanced at the door of the conference room. “I’m here to attend the shareholders’ meeting.” Sophie’s voice sounded at the same time, then the door of the conference room was pushed open by her secretary, who was there with her. She ignored the look of bewilderment on everyone’s faces and looked directly at Cedric, who was seated in the chairman’s seat, as she approached him step by step.“Miss Luxford, Luxford Group’s stock price has dropped by almost half now. You came to Carlson Group to attend t

Sophie felt angry and ashamed. After taking a quick look at everyone who was still in shock, she declared, “The meeting is dismissed.”She had already achieved her purpose in coming to Carlson Group today. “Miss, I’ve already recorded the audio as you instructed.” Linda could not hide her excitement when she came out of the conference room. Linda was of the impression that Luxford Group had suffered a devastating blow today, but she did not expect that Sophie had actually acquired the majority of Carlson Group’s shares. In that case, Luxford Group’s stock price would undoubtedly rise tomorrow. Who would dare to divest their capital then?“Well, send it to the media and let them cover this story. Gather all available funds and go to several banks that we’ve worked with before to seize the opportunity to buy back Luxford Group’s shares.”Sophie had already calmed down fully at the moment compared to the moment of panic she felt in front of Cedric. There was nowhere to go but forward

Vivienne’s smile grew wider when she saw that Sophie had stopped talking. “Anyway, Miss Sophie, I sincerely appreciate all that you have done for Cedric over the past three years. But now that I’m back, I hope that we can undo these mistakes as soon as possible—”“So?” Sophie cut Vivienne off before she could finish her sentence. She straightened her tense back and said, “Miss Vivienne, you keep addressing me as Miss Sophie, but you seem to have forgotten that I’m still Cedric’s legal wife, so you should be addressing me as Mrs. Carlson instead. There’s another thing that you might not know very well. You’re fired.”Sophie stepped forward and tugged gently on the work tag on Vivienne’s chest, causing the originally upright work tag to become tilted. Vivienne scowled as she asked, “What do you mean?”Sophie sneered and said, “As the largest shareholder of Carlson Group, I'm more than qualified to decide to let you stay or to fire you than the man that you are pining for. I’m sorry,

Tears filled Vivienne's eyes as she saw Cedric's hesitancy. Her face was pale and made people feel distressed. “No matter whether you can accept me or not, Dion is innocent. His only wish is to have a father. Cedric, please have some sympathy for our son, okay?”Cedric swallowed hard, feeling conflicted at Vivienne's modest request. He recalled how pitiful the little boy looked when he hugged him and refused to let go. His heart softened again as he said, “Okay, I’ll start over with you. I will try my best to make it up to Dion.”“I’m content as long as Dion can be happy. Thank you.”She released her tight hold around his waist and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. When Cedric saw Vivienne’s composed, kind, and understanding gaze, his frown slowly relaxed as he said, “I’ll go back with you to keep Dion company.”“Okay, he’ll be thrilled to see you.”Cedric started the car again. Vivienne turned to look out the window, and a small smile spread across her lips.‘Cedri

“I like it. I like everything that you give me, Daddy.”“Look at how happy he is. Be good, Dion. Go and play with your toy.” Vivienne pinched her son’s face cheekily. After Dion trotted off, she looked at Cedric gratefully and said, “Thank you for giving him a sweet dream.”Cedric stood up and pursed his lips tightly. If it was just a dream, it would hurt even more when Dion woke up. He felt a little uncomfortable and upset as he turned to look at Dion’s adorable face. Vivienne's lips curled into a smug smirk at the sight of Cedric's expression, and she continued, “I’m going to prepare lunch. Stay for lunch before you go back to the company.”…Sophie began working continuously as soon as she got back from Carlson Group. Linda complied with her instructions and contacted the banks they had previously worked with; she quickly got a favorable response. She was not sure if she should be pleased or irritated.“These banks really change their attitude faster than they turn the pages

“You’re shocked that it’s me?” Austin walked to her desk with a smile. Austin grinned as he approached her desk. When he saw her bloodshot, puffy and red eyes, he felt indescribable distress. “I happened to pass by your apartment this morning and wanted to try the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Carrie. I didn’t know that you didn’t go home all night because you were working overtime.”“Well, I had to make preparations for Luxford Group’s comeback.” Austin did not attend Carlson Group’s shareholders’ meeting yesterday because of his status, but she believed that he and the Carlsons’ family members had already received the news.“I understand. I just think that it’s too demanding and taxing on you.”Sophie’s smile froze, and she subconsciously avoided his kind and worried gaze. When Austin saw her dodging, he coughed awkwardly and put the thermos flask in his hand on the table and said, “Mrs. Carrie asked me to bring this to you. Drink it while it’s hot to replenish your strength for the

“Miss, we are about to—” Linda strode in excitedly on high heels without waiting for Sophie’s response. However, she halted mid-sentence when she saw Austin in the bathroom. She was so shocked that she could not look away.The bathroom in the chairman’s office was such a private place. Why was Austin there?To avoid creating needless confusion, Sophie hastily moved aside, held out her hand, and said, “I scalded my hand just now, so I placed it under running cold water.”“Oh, are you okay?”Linda swiftly filled in the rest of the story in her head as she cast a quick glance at Austin, who was in the bathroom, and the boiling soup on the table. She appeared to have come at the wrong time.“It seems that you have business to discuss, so I’ll get out of your hair. Sophie, I want to take you somewhere to unwind this weekend, and I have something to say to you as well. Will you come?”Sophie was dumbfounded. She looked at the man who was walking out of the bathroom and wanted to declin

Evander suddenly came to a realization and said, “Luxford Group has become the largest controlling shareholder of Carlson Group now, and the stock price will probably break a new high even if we make up for the previous drop.”Cedric closed his laptop. There was a hint of ruthlessness in his malevolent gaze as he said, “Let people keep an eye on them, and stop those idlers who want to take advantage of the opportunity to buy Luxford Group’s stocks in large quantities when the time is right.”The price of Luxford Group's stock could not be manipulated by outsiders, regardless of how much it rose or fell.“I got it. It’s just that…”When Cedric saw that his confidant, who had been following him for many years, was hesitant to speak for the first time, he raised his brows, looked at him, and asked, “Evander, what do you want to say?”“I have a lot of questions. Mr. Cedric, I'm curious as to whether your wife is the reason you're assisting the Luxfords so much, or are you doing this j
