Chapter 255:
Could an all-out clash hurt Bennett Group's prospects?
And most importantly, did he stand a chance of winning? At that moment, Alexander felt a pang of regret for
acting on impulse.
He had rushed in, fueled by raw emotion, without thinking things through, while Cedric stood calm, composed,
and unfazed.
Cedric’s icy gaze met Alexander's, filled with indifference and scorn.
He'd dealt with men like Alexander before—those who thrived on intimidating the vulnerable but fell apart when
confronted with true strength.
Cedric smirked against the cold wind on the rooftop. Before Alexander could even respond, Cedric swung his fist
and delivered a punishing blow straight to Alexander's face.

stare at the blood on his hand.
“Cedric Phillips!” Cedric chuckled, his voice dripping with mockery.
“I'm right here.”
“Cedric! I'll kill you!”
The rooftop descended into utter chaos.
Dust swirled in the howling wind, mixing with the sickening sound of fists pounding into skin and bone. The
punches kept coming, hard and fast, each one landing with brutal force.
Alexander's cries echoed through the night, gradually fading into the biting cold air.
Cedric’s assistant reached the rooftop.
He found Cedric standing there, calm and collected, as poised as ever. But his sleeves had sblood stains.
“Sir, your...” His words trailed off as his eyes fell on Alexander, lying unconscious on the rooftop.
Cedric unbuttoned his bloodstained shirt and tossed it aside, slipping into the fresh one without sparing a glance
at Alexander.
“Well, I'm off for dinner.”
The assistant stood frozen, his thoughts racing. He had known for stthat Cedric had been eager to put
Alexander in his place, but this?
He stole one last look at Alexander.
Was this really necessary for Cedric to do?
Alexander's face was so swollen and bruised that it was barely recognizable. Would he need surgery to repair
this? Cedric adjusted his cuffs before adding, “Call an ambulance. Having someone die here isn’t good for
business.”
With that, he bent down, grabbed his suit jacket, shook it out as though brushing off unseen dust, and put it on.
He didn’t spare another glance before walking off.
The dinner was already buzzing with conversation, the dishes being served and the Elite Lux team in high spirits
when Cedric walked in.

Daniela, picking at a small appetizer, followed their gaze and glanced at Cedric. She watched him in silence for a
brief moment, then lowered her eyes and went back to her meal, her expression impossible to read.
Cedric’s heart skipped a beat.
The team, well-acquainted with Cedric, greeted him with casual banter.
