Chapter 172 - Cedrics Doubts (2/2)

”Water,” he said.

”Give the jug,” they asked and he handed it.

”Where is Katherine?” Cedric asked when his eyes didn't find his sister.

”She went to eat,” they said.

Cedric nodded.

”Call your chief. I have something to talk about with him,” Cedric said.

The guards called their chief.

”May I know why does Mr. Emerson want to see me?” the chief asked with a kind yet unkind smile.

”I need to make a call,” Cedric said.

”You are not in the position of making negotiations in this situation,” the chief said.

”According to the basic rules, the one who's arrested can call two people. I am asking to call only one person. You are breaching my rights,” Cedric.

The chief wanted to say something but he was confident that he wouldn't let Cedric go. So, he let him make a call. He called Edward and connected a conference call with his lawyer and his assistant.

Indeed he was making only one call, right? But the poor chief he didn't even see what Cedric was doing.

He conveyed he was arrested and asked them to get him out before hanging the call.

Katherine finished her food in forty minutes and returned to the station. For some reason, she felt something was wrong. But she doesn't where it went wrong.

Edward was shocked to know that Cedrc was arrested. He immediately got his men and investigated the cause. Then he got to know it was Valene who filed a case against him for the sake of Eleanor.

Edward felt annoyed when he get to know that Eleanor was the reason for his suffering again. Just then he saw Nathaira returning home with a smile.

Nathaira was skeptical about Cedric's action. Even though he said he was dating Nathaira she was afraid when he saw his old flame, he would get drawn to her again. But he proved her wrong. She was so happy that she wanted to dance. But before that… she needs to get him out. Only her stupid brother can help.

Edward felt something was amiss again. Didn't Nathaira she would be leaving Lucren and wouldn't be coming back never in her life but now she was here. The same day the Cedric got arrested and was returning from Alvonia.

This was something suspicious. He sent a message to his men to do a detailed investigation on the case.

”Why are you back?” he asked feeling annoyed.

”Obviously, I miss you, brother,” Nathiara said.

”Say what do you need?” Edward asked irritatedly.

”Brother… why do you say like I only come to you when I need you?” she said with a pout which made Edward even more annoyed.

”Say it, NATHAIRA!! I don't have a whole day?!” he yelled.

”Since you are asking me… I will tell you,” she started.

Edward knew whatever she was going to say won't be good. He prepared himself for the worst. Which was she murdering someone. If she was going to do that… he won't even save her. He would send her to jail with a happy heart.

”Get Cedric out of the jail,” she said throwing a stone on him.

How in the hell does she know about it?

If she knew why didn't she tell him about it?

Does that mean… there was something more than the things that reached his eyes?

It must be. If not how could she know about those thing? But how did she know?

Was she involved in this thing?

Edward knew Nathaira's obsession with Cedric. He saw the craziest side of her life to them at a certain point of time. If she was involved in this issue… it only means one thing.

That was… doom.

The doom of everyone whom she knew.

”How do you know?” Edward asked her.

He couldn't keep it inside her for a long time and spilled it out. He knew she wouldn't say but he just wanted to give it a try.

”Because I am the reason for his prison life,” Nathaira said as she checked her nails.

Edward saw red.. He walked ahead and caught her neck. She was doing everything all again! How long could he take it?
