Chapter 814


    On a business trip in B City, Sigrid heard from a friend about Cedric getting into a fight at a nightclub


    She rushed over to Cedric’s vi that same night and found him hugging a bottle of liquor,pletely


    hammered


    “What’s gotten into you? Why did you hit Ms. Vulpe’s boyfriend? she approached and gave Cedric a


    nudge


    Cedric saw Sigrid’s face through his blurry vision, and shoved her hand away impatiently. “None of your


    beeswax”


    Sigrid tried to snatch the bottle. “Stop drinking you’re gonna wreck your stomach if you keep this up!”


    All he did was party and enjoy himself instead of doing anything meaningful. She should totally film this


    and show it to Bernard, so he could put Cedric in his ce.


    Of course, Cedric wouldn’t give in, ‘Quit bugging me and go home…”


    Unable to take the bottle from him, Sigrid snapped, “Fine, drink yourself to death for all I care”


    She picked up her bag and stormed out, but halfway through the door, she couldrit help but nce


    back at him.


    She couldn’t handle him, but she could ask others for help.


    With that in mind, Sigrid left the vi, called Veronica, told her the situation, and then drove off


    Veronica was also in B City. Upon hearing the news, she immediately ordered a car and rushed over to


    Cedric’s vi,


    Cedric, who waspletely wasted, had barely hit the bed when Veronica’s bodyguard picked him up


    and tossed him into the bathtub.


    “Turn on the water, hold him under to sober him up!”


    Following the order, the bodyguard soon woke Cedric up with cold water.


    Struggling to climb out of the bath, Cedric saw Veronica’s stern face.


    “Veronica?”


    Cedric, enduring difort in his stomach, sat by the bathtub and looked at her


    “Why are you here?”


    “What do you mean “why am I here“?”


    Veronica looked at his pathetic state and felt like pping him!


    Believing that Cedric had transformed while effectively overseeing the Laurence Group, simr to


    Bernard, she had hoped for his continued growth. However, upon arriving in


    B City, he began exhibiting foolish behavior, causing harm to Dr. Yeager and ending up in custody


    His delusion of winning back Ms. Vulpe was nothing more than an absurd fantasy, tarnishing the


    family’s honor in the process.


    Furing with anger, Veronica stormed over to Cedric, seizing him by the cor.

    “Let’s go home!” she demanded.


    “I’m not going!” Cedric retorted defiantly, swatting Veronica’s hand away. In his unsteady state, he lost


    his bnce and stumbled, ultimately copsing onto the floor.


    Veronica angrily walked over, intending to p him.


    But she stopped just before her hand reached his face.


    When they were kids, she could discipline him with a whip.


    But now he was the acting CEO of the Laurence Group, and pping him in front of the bodyguard


    would not exactly respect his dignity


    Not wanting to embarrass Cedric too much, Veronica decided to hold back and just red at him.


    “Cedric, you used to change girlfriends like socks, and you never made the same mistake twice, what’s


    the deal now?”


    “You keep bothering Ms. Vulpe even though she has a boyfriend That’s not like you”


    Cedric leaned against the edge of the bathtub, gagging from difort Hearing this, he turned to look


    at Veronica


    His eyes gradually turned red, “I really don’t want to bother Hailey, but … I love her…”


    Hearing Cedric say something like “love” is a real rarity
