337 Not Worth the Effor (2/2)
When Han Chu looked over at her with surprise and nodded silently, Ye Shuang relaxed her brows. She thought about it and slowly went over the pieces of memory that she was going over in her head earlier. ”Brother Han, I remember that you once said, there are many things that happen in the world every day, and if it is not on a global scale, rarely will there be people who remember when and what happened with a snap of their fingers, correct?”
Han Chu nodded. ”I did say something to that effect, yes.”
”Three years ago at Kansas… The time that Cedrick found the first clue about his family, the clue came from the people who were chasing after Anthony.” Ye Shuang smiled and turned her eyes to Edward. ”I… My partner once asked Tony, and while he said that he didn't remember a thing about that day, that was false. He refused to help Cedrick because the relevant parties came from a complicated background, and he didn't want to get dragged into the mess.”
”Huh, what does that got to do with me? I wasn't even there that year,” Edward answered, shouldering the questioning gaze from Ye Shuang.
Things seemed to connect for Han Chu as well. He frowned and also turned to look at Edward. ”After taking out the wrong preconception and ignoring the uncertainties, the known conditions are as follows. One, Cedrick's real family is probably Madam Grace; two, the clue about his family appeared three years ago in Kansas; three, both you and Madam Grace belong to that organization; four, Anthony also confirmed that the incident at that time was a troublesome one…”
Knocking against the table subconsciously, Han Chu's expression turned serious. ”I believe that if my speculation isn't too far off, after combining the logical reasoning behind all these conditions… the incident three years ago should be the work of your organization. And Mr. Edward, you already knew who Cedrick's real mother was, didn't you?”
Edward huffed out a breath calmly, but he did not confirm or deny that statement.
”I still know one thing that can support that supposition…” Ye Shuang smiled. ”Mr. Edward, you once admitted that you have no good rapport with the members of the organization, right? You have devised plans to destroy their families. In any case, you have made them lose everything other than money… Then, the fact that you knew about Cedrick's history and decided not to do anything, even pushing him down the wrong director, is not something that hard to believe, right?”
”Hmm?” Facing the fiery gaze from Cedrick, Edward said with a shrug, ”So?”
This time, Han Chu or Ye Shuang did not get the chance to say anything before Cedrick blurted out, ”Tell me the truth!”
”Ah, I refuse,” Edward said lazily.
”You—”
Ye Shuang sighed. ”Calm down, Cedrick. In any case, I think you already know the truth, so there's no need to get hung up over the details.”
Deep breath, another deep breath!
Indeed, after all, he had lost all hope for that woman. Even if Edward did intervene to divert his focus, it was also true that over the past thirty years, the woman had never once cared about him. Furthermore, the woman who called herself his mother was his real mother's assistant. His stepmother knew about the truth, and she did not tell him.
After telling himself that, Cedrick started to calm down, and he asked serenely, ”Edward, do you not want me to reconcile with Madam Grace?”
”Why would you say that?” That was the first question that Edward had answered, but his attitude was so bad that it would have been far more harmonious for the man to keep his mouth shut. ”I believe that the real tragedy will happen after you two reconcile. After all, that woman will not reciprocate the anticipation that you have for her at all. Will it be fun to watch the hope go out of your eyes? But unfortunately, you are the only one who will be devastated; that woman won't even feel a thing, so I soon lost my interest.”
He was just a petty thief. No matter how skillful he was, no matter how high he was on the FBI watchlist, it did not change the fact that Cedrick had not matured. While Edward enjoyed the suffering and pain of his enemy, to deal with the so-called biological son that his enemy would not even care about, he really did not have the drive.
For him, Cedrick was nothing more than an advertisement in the middle of a show.
Looking at Cedrick, who was angered again with a few words, and then at Edward, who felt shamelessly prideful of himself no matter the situation, Han Chu thought about it, lowered his head to open the laptop, and looked through Feng Yuan City's map. ”Perhaps my earlier plan is not that perfect. I think it's better for the two of you to work separately.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
”Then, that's the plan.” Edward hauled himself up from the couch. He had both of his hands in his pockets, all ready to leave. ”I still have other things to do. Unlike you guys, I haven't been resting while we've been here.”
When he walked to the door, with his hand on the doorknob, he turned back like he suddenly remembered something. He looked at Ye Shuang and revealed the first sincere smile since he stepped into the room. ”I say, if you come up with a plan, feel free to come find me.”
Madam Grace's latest prey? Such wonderful bait.
