Chapter 113:
His silent stance broadcast a stark warning—challenge her, and face the consequences.
Although Cedric’s commitment to safeguard Daniela was public knowledge, witnessing his assertive protection
firsthand was quite the spectacle. It radiated a fierce protectiveness laced with unshakable dominance—
unyielding and dangerous.
A palpable tension choked the air, causing everyone in his line of sight to gulp with apprehension.
Caiden felt a surge of panic. When the hell would Cedric stop clinging to Daniela like a damn parasite? His
constant vigilance over her was throwing a wrench into their plans.
Katrina stepped back too. She was all too familiar with Cedric’s persona—an untouchable tyrant with an ego to
match, and absolutely no room for compromise.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric stood his ground, a picture of tranquility yet undeniably commanding, his gaze downcast, his face a mask
of inscrutability. The dark circles under his eyes hinted at a lack of sleep, lending a sharpness to his features.
Breaking the tense quiet, he finally spoke.
“You've got something to say? Well, I'm right here—spit it out already.”
His voice was smooth, almost deceptively soft, as if he were consciously tempering his words to keep the peace.
Yet, beneath his calm exterior, signs of fatigue and underlying irritation were palpable, straining the nerves of
everyone present.

The group opposite him paused, their anxious glances flickering from one face to another, none daring to break
the silence.
Feeling the tension build, Katrina leaned closer to Caiden and discreetly nudged his arm, her gesture a silent
plea for him to speak up. Caiden cleared his throat nervously.
“Mr. Phillips, | noticed that today is Monday, and the financial news mentioned you're to finalize next year’s
contract with one of the world’s top multinational corporations.
You...”
What he really meant to ask—but couldn't muster the boldness to state outright—was if Cedric was supposed to
be on his way already.
Instead, he framed it as an evasive, roundabout inquiry, hoping Cedric would pick up on the subtle cue.
“You're not on a tight schedule, by any chance?”
Cedric, with his hands placed in the pockets of his sharp, tailored black suit, slightly tilted his head. His
consistent choice of dark attire only served to deepen the formidable aura that clung to him.
Even the slightest flicker of a smirk was enough to snuff out any semblance of defiance.
When he finally spoke, his voice was deep and coarse, cutting through the thick air.
“Your concern is noted, Mr. Harper.” His answer was concise—courteous, yet noncommittal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCaiden suppressed his irritation, not daring to contest it.
The air in the room thickened with tension, the silence so heavy it felt almost suffocating. Eventually, Daniela
shattered the quiet, addressing Cedric in a poised yet assertive tone.
“Everything's fine here. If you've got other matters to deal with, don’t worry about this—I've got it covered.”
Cedric drew his hands from his pockets, his voice now soft and soothing, contrasting sharply with his earlier
domineering presence.
