Chapter 504:
“Indeed.” Katrina stared, confused.
Just that? Then what? Wasn't he going to elaborate? No flurry of excuses? No desperate bribes to keep her silent
about his secret? Nothing. Cedric displayed none of those. Instead, his response was chillingly detached.
“From now on, if you notice anything like this, you know what to do, don’t you?”
Katrina stood dumbfounded.
Cedric’s voice was icy, a stark contrast to the warmth he showed Daniela.
“If this matter gets out, | will deal with you.”
Katrina recoiled.
“Or Joyce.” Cedric dabbed his forehead with a towel, his expression one of utter indifference.
“I don’t easily lose my temper, but I've had my limits tested before. Those people have disappeared.”

“Feel free to challenge me, but be warned—I don’t negotiate, and | certainly don’t take kindly to threats.” With
that, Cedric turned and retreated to his room. Katrina remained frozen in place.
She couldn't react for a long time.
Had she just been threatened?
It was Cedric whose secret had been uncovered.

Yet, he had turned the tables, making her the target of his intimidation.
Seething, Katrina dialed the media tip-off hotline. But when someone answered, her voice caught in her throat.
She couldn’t deny it; Cedric’s intimidation had struck a nerve.
From that day forward, Cedric becbrazen. Previously, he would sneak to Daniela’s room when the house was
quiet.
Now, he ascended the stairs without hesitation, and Katrina even caught him showering in Daniela’s bathroom
once.
Katrina seethed with anger.
Yet, she felt powerless to intervene. Eventually, she resigned herself to the situation.
It was okay. She had sought Alexander's help before, who had done nothing. Now, with Cedric and Daniela
openly together, Katrina found twisted satisfaction in watching Alexander trying to win Daniela back, but to no
avail.
But her amusement was short-lived.
Joyce returned hafter vanishing for several days, her demeanor crushed.
“Mom, can you just giveback the eight million?”
Katrina thought Joyce had finally cto her senses, but her next words nearly made Katrina faint.
“The company | invested in is in a bit of a bind. It needs eight million to weather the storm. Mom, please give me
the money.”
Katrina felt as though she’d raised a complete fool.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Eight million? You gaveeight million, and now, by sheer coincidence, your company is short exactly that
amount? Joyce, think it through! Does that not strike you as suspicious?”
Joyce shook her head.
“It’s exactly that—a coincidence. Milo says the company is thriving! It's just a temporary cash flow hiccup. Once
we plug that gap, we'll be rolling in profits. Mom, please, | need that money.”
