The Ex and Her Riches

His dark, pensive eyes gleamed as he clearly took in the shocked or scared expressions on everyone’s faces. Then, he curled his lips into a sneer. “When have I admitted that I was blind?”

“H-How is this possible? Your eyes are fine?”

Colors drained from Yael’s wrinkled countenance. Soon, he wrapped his mind around the situation. “Was this all a deliberate setup?”

Cedrick neither denied nor admitted and merely responded casually, “I should thank you for helping me to get rid of all those people with ulterior motives in one fell swoop, Uncle Yael.”

Yael was resentful. “Since your eyes are fine, everything that happened recently is just a misunderstanding. It’s not like anyone committed a grave mistake, so on what basis are you punishing everyone present?”

“Spreading rumors about my blindness, deliberately causing trouble at Harrick Villa, abusing your position as a public officer for personal gain, and some of you even indulge in a hedonistic lifestyle. Should I list them all out, Uncle Yael?”

Cedrick paused briefly. The hint of mockery on his face intensified. “In other words, I have the final say here. Do you really think I had no idea about all your dirty little secrets?”

Many people inside the conference room averted their gazes and didn’t dare to speak.

Neville added indignantly, “You’re all easily swayed by hearsay! In the past, Mr. Cedrick was merely turning a blind eye to your antics. Did you really take yourselves for someone special? I suggest those who are sensible take your penalty notices and get lost at once!”

At that point, Yael felt humiliated and was rendered speechless. He had foolishly believed Craig’s words and was played by Cedrick.

“Very well! We shall see each other next time, Cedrick.” Yael snorted and turned around to leave.

Cedrick suddenly reminded him, “You’re being reassigned to Mapleton for five years, Uncle Yael. You’ll have to take extra good care of your health for us to have the chance to meet again.”

Infuriated, Yael glared at Cedrick before striding away.

Following his departure, the elders of the Jenson family and Jenson Group’s directors also left in dejection since they were now without a leader.

In less than a few minutes, more than half of the people present in the conference room were vacated.
