Chapter 499

Cedrick paused and narrowed his eyes. “So it was planned?”

“Yes. I’ve looked into Miss Clark’s personal life. Amy Jacqueline was in the mall at the time, and Ivan was in the

office. Neither had the time to do it, and there were no suspicious transactions from their accounts either. Those

two couldn’t have been the culprit.”

“What about the surveillance cameras?”

“The board was too big and could easily hide a few people underneath it, so I’m afraid that surveillance footage

wouldn’t be of much help,” Alex said gingerly.

Completely losing his appetite, Cedrick gazed up at the reflection on the glass window. He had thought that it was

merely an accident and was thus surprised that someone was behind it. Had he been one step slower or were not

swift enough to shove Catelyn aside, perhaps both Catelyn and him would be in the funeral home at this moment.

“Anything from Nine?”

Alex was stunned. “You suspect that the Ninth Master is behind this, Master Cedrick?”

“Isn’t this what he always does to pawns he no longer has use for?”

“Information of what happened hasn’t reached Sapphire City yet, and everything is still under investigation. I’ll try

my best to find the person who loosened the screws and have that person lead me back to the real culprit who

plotted this.”

Alex paused for a moment before he added carefully, “I don’t think the Ninth Master is behind this. If he wanted

Miss Clark dead, he would have never freed her and the two young masters back in Sapphire City.”

Cedrick’s expression darkened as he clenched his fists. “Whether it’s him or not, we’re not letting this go. Check

everyone in Sapphire City. It could be anyone.”

“Understood. I’ll investigate this matter dutifully.”

Once Alex left, Cedrick got up expressionlessly and strode towards the window, staring down at the exotic buildings

of Franche with a fierce look on his face.

He had plotted against many throughout his life and had been set up multiple times, but if someone dared to lay

their hands on Catelyn and the twins, he would make them regret being born into this world.

Meanwhile, in a certain private manor in Sapphire City.!

Early that morning, Maia received notification from the assassins she hired that the mission had failed.

Cedrick had saved Catelyn at the last minute, and it was Cedrick who ended up in the hospital.

Judging from the interaction between Catelyn and Cedrick, it seemed as though their relationship had improved

instead.

“Trashbags, all of you! Do you remember what you promised me before? I paid you so much, yet you fail to achieve

the easiest mission there is!” Maia tightened her grip on the phone as she stood before the curtains, screaming at

the person on the other end of the call.

The person on the other end of the line said something, and Maia hung up in frustration.

All of a sudden, a steaming warm body pressed up against her from behind.

Richard, dressed in a robe, wrapped one arm around her and brushed his fingers past her hair gently.

The two had started seeing each other since Cedrick called off the wedding with Maia, and they grew even more

reckless than they had been before.

Maia was already agitated, so she shoved him off. “Get off. I’m not in the mood!”

Richard lost balance and fell back against the bed. Instead of getting annoyed, he propped his head up with one

hand and admired the furious expression on Maia’s face.

To him, she looked beautiful even when her face was twisted with anger.

Maia became even more agitated and thought to herself, ‘Why is it that all the guys who like me are like this?’

She went to the wine cabinet to pour herself multiple glasses of wine and gulped them until her anger was barely at

bay.

Richard took in her beauty and reached for the nightstand drawer to pull out a pile of photos before walking over to

Maia.

The photos were taken when Cedrick took Catelyn and their twins to the mall. The family of four looked intimate

and sweet together in the photos. “You’re trying to provoke me, aren’t you?” Maia squinted at him maliciously.
