A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1227

No sooner had Cedric finished speaking than a wave of sirens wailed from outside.

He darted a look outside the window to see the security guards opening the gate for the police to enter the estate.

Cedric quickly signaled his bodyguard who understood and promptly let go of Hertha.

Poor Hertha was still in the dark about Cedric’s scheme. By the time she came to, there were already several cops in front of her, taking her into custody.

She never saw this coming and flew into a fit of hysteria, yelling, “I told one little lie, and you’re arresting me for that?”

The cop responded coldly, “Mr. Cedric accused you of sexually harassing him. You’re coming with us for investigation.”

She had assumed the accusation was about framing someone, but she couldn’t believe that Cedric was reporting her for sexual harassment. “I never laid a finger on you!”

Cedric snorted. Hertha had been all over him when he was drunk. Wasn’t that sexual harassment?

Cedric ignored her, handing his voice recorder to the cop, “I’ll be pressing charges for sexual harassment, defamation, and false accusations.”

The cop took the recorder, “We’ll bring her in for investigation. If you wish to sue, find a lawyer.”

With a ‘thank you’, Cedric turned to Hertha, “As you know, my lawyer is none other than the famous Chase McCall.”
