《In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection》全部章節：第 211 章 - 第 220 章

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

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

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

"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

"Even you're saying that we're all family, and Father won't be biased. Do you find it amusing to be constantly worrying about the company's equity all day, every day?"After being reprimanded, Matthew also grew agitated. They were both at an age where obsessing over property distribution should be a thing of the past.Vivienne continued to vent. "I'm constantly worrying? Why don't you show me some of the same concerns then? At least be a man when it counts. What good does being the 'nice man' do anyway?"Matthew finally lost his cool. "Alright, I'm useless! Is this what you want to hear?"Seeing that Matthew, who rarely lost his head, actually got angry, Melissa was taken aback for a moment. She stopped him as he was about to leave the mansion. "It's getting dark out there. Where do you think you're going?!""I'm useless, so I need some time to myself to reflect on my uselessness. Is that too much to ask too?" Matthew snorted and left without looking back."That worthless piece o
