บททั้งหมดของ In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

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

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

“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

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

“Of course I do. He’s known me and Darren for many years now.” Tiffany turned around and kept smiling after she glared at Darren’s leaving figure.“Did you agree to come over for a discussion because he spoke highly of Luxford Group?” Sophie wanted a clear answer, but she didn’t expect to get an even more affirmative answer instead. “Austin didn’t mention Luxford Group, but he kept praising you. We’ve known him for many years now, and we’ve never heard him praise a woman. Do you get what I mean, young lady?” Tiffany gave Sophie a shoulder pat while grinning. Sophie smiled forcefully and said, “I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m his sister-in-law.”“Oh, this relationship will no longer exist after you and Cedric get divorced, so anything is possible.”Sophie was dumbfounded. She was not interested in such a possibility, though.After sending Tiffany off with a forced smile, Sophie did not look particularly thrilled when she returned to her office. “Miss Sophie, why don’t you
