“Enough!” Sally placed her hands over her ears and shouted at Eddie, “I’ve always loved you, but you chose not to acknowledge it. Even though Amanda is dead, you still choose to love her!”“That’s why I can’t love anymore. Sally, a word of advice. I don’t care about your relationship with Andrew or what you’ve done to me, I will let you go on behalf of Amanda. “However, you shouldn’t have messed with Cedric’s grandfather. He will never let you off that easily. You should think of how to make amends with my broth—”“Cedric’s grandfather? Don’t worry. He’s dead.” Sally laughed.“What are you talking about?” Eddie’s face fell as he questioned her sternly.Instead of replying to his question, she just continued to pack. “Sally, what did you mean by that? Why is Cedric’s grandfather dead? Do you know something?” He wheeled his chair toward her and grabbed her arm. Sally smirked wickedly as she glanced at his hand holding her arm, “Didn’t you already hear me?”“Y-You’re saying he

“Then, you should make sure to warm me up properly.”“Sure thing, you can count on me!” Amanda tapped her chest lightly and promised as she continued to warm Maia up. Maia could not help but smile at Amanda’s silliness. “I was just joking with you.”“Maia, your hands are really cold. Since your little sunshine is not here, I’ll be responsible for warming you up!” Amanda offered as she smiled widely. Her cute dimples showed. “Please continue, how did you end up together again?”“It was his continuous effort of always being there for me, to help me, and save me whenever I was in a dire situation. He had placed my life above his and had shown me that he loves me. More importantly, he was in my heart.“Instead of creating pain for him and me, I decided to give him one more chance. In the end, my gamble paid out.”Amanda shook her head after she heard Maia’s words, “From the moment he was willing to give up his life to save yours, it was already proof of your importance to him. “Th

Eddie’s eyes turned red, and he couldn't hold his tears back anymore. All Amanda could do was shake her head and sob. Then, her eyes turned and tears started dropping as well.“Hahaha…” Sally burst into a maniacal laughter, “Kill me? What makes you think you can do it? Remember, Eddie. I have your precious Amanda.” He slammed the armrest of his wheelchair hard in response.Amanda was weeping but she couldn’t say anything. “Cedric!” Eddie said in a trembling voice.“Look what the cat dragged in. Impeccable timing, Cedric!” Sally said. With the help of the voice changer, she said everything in Andrew’s voice in an arrogant tone.Maia jolted awake when she heard his name. At the next moment, she saw his cold, dashing face. Something stirred in her heart and her eyes turned red immediately.He still looked cold and ferocious, but his brows were furrowed and his chin was stiff. Arrogance filled his gaze that seemed to ensnare anyone who looked at him.The moment their gazes met,

Loud thuds could be heard as the baton connected fiercely with Amanda’s body. Maia was gasping out of pain while Amanda was already screaming at the top of her lungs. It only excited Sally more!Pable stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and stopped her, “They’re going to die if you keep this up. How are you supposed to make a deal with Cedric and Eddie, then? Don’t forget, you need them!“Are you going to let your plan go to ruins? You won’t get anything if they die. Cedric and Eddie will never let you go by then. So, are you going to keep beating them?”Sally slowly calmed down when she heard what he said. Grunting angrily, she tossed the baton to the ground. Then, she smiled, looked at the phone, and unmuted the video call.“Take what I want to Lumiere Mansion three days later. Do it at night and don’t play any tricks. All I have to do is lift my finger and your beloved ladies will die a horrible death! Hahaha!” Sally laughed triumphantly and hung up the call.Then, she glanced

Cedric’s eyes were cold and sharp when he said, “Look into it!”“At your command,” Baz responded.At that moment, someone knocked on the study door and opened it. It was Lauren.Standing at the door, she flashed a smile at Cedric and Eddie. However, her smile froze at the next second. She was a perceptive and intelligent woman, after all. So, she could sense something was going on in here.“Something’s wrong,” she said confidently.“Nothing’s wrong, Mom.” Eddie looked at his mother and tried hard to mask his emotions. He smiled and asked, “W-What brought you here? It’s so late in the night. You should be resting.”“I can’t go to sleep. The servants told me that Cedric’s back and he’s in the study with you. So, here I am.” Her health was getting worse day by day. So, she appreciated all the time she could spend with her sons.Stepping into the study, she noticed Eddie’s smile was very stiff. Then, she watched as Cedric tossed the cigarette butt into the ashtray. He wore a cold ex
