“No. This person is absolutely cunning. I set up a trap to lure him to appear, but little did I know he created a false identity and sent a substitute to meet me. In the end, his fake guy took his place in death.”
For a moment, both men were silent.
Apart from the sounds made by the humidifier and a soft, occasional hum by Benedict, the room was exceptionally quiet.
“So you secretly issued an arrest warrant to catch this crafty fellow.”
Charles could imagine how tense the situation was.
Cedrick sneered. His piercing gaze and overpowering aura could easily send shivers down anyone’s spine.
“Although he was not caught, I have a rough idea of his appearance. Once the arrest warrant is issued, his various actions will be restricted, and we’ll get him sooner or later.”
Charles nodded.
When he lifted his head, he was greeted by Cedrick’s bloodshot eyes. This case must have turned his world upside down.
Arching his brow, Charles uttered a rare word of concern, “Go and get some rest. I’ve got everything here.”
Cedrick’s lip curled upward. He clicked his tongue and left without saying a word.
Meanwhile, in the minimalist hospital lounge, a slim figure was sitting on the bed with her back facing the door. Her beautiful back was smooth and attractive. She had porcelain skin as white as snow.
The dim lighting cast a hazy glow on the voluptuous figure.
The moment Cedrick opened the door, he was greeted by such an enchanting scene.
Instantly, his mouth became dry. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he walked lightly across the room.
When he got closer, he saw some light red scars on her back that got him frozen there and then.
