Chapter 253 Bearing All Costs
All the accusations against Natalie were completely cleared
The truth was revealed, and now it was the final step before reaching Cedric.
Once it was confirmed, there would be major consequences for Cedric.
As Rebecca had said, this was his last chance to leave.
“Sir, please leave now!” Lucas finally changed the topic.
This was Cedric’s last opportunity to leave. He could be free from the troubles as long as he left Verde City. Even if Cedric disappeared from this world, it would be acceptable.

She made those around her continuously search for the truth.
What would she do after finding the truth? Given her personality in this life, she would undoubtedly fight
tooth and nail to send him to prison, right?
Yes, that was how she was at that point.
Since this was what she wished for, he would grant it.
“I’m not leaving,” Cedric said in a weary tone, rejecting Lucas’s persuasion.
He owed Natalie too much, and it was time to repay it. Even if it meant repaying it in this way, he should
accept it!
If possible, he hoped she could come to demand him to pay all these sins in person.
Unfortunately, fate was so cruel. He wouldn’t get such an opportunity.

“Yes, sir.”
“Have you taken care of everything I entrusted to you?”
Lucas looked at Kyle with curiosity, not knowing what Cedric had entrusted to him.
Kyle nodded,
“Yes, sir. Rest assured.”
“You’re dismissed,” Cedric ordered:
During his time at Scarlet Villa, he rarely saw people from the company. The board members came, but he
wouldn’t see them.
He hadn’t seen anyone but Kyle three times.
No one knew what Cedric had entrusted to Kyle

preparations before entering prison, perhaps even… the last arrangements in life.

“There is some work for you to take over.”
“Sir?
“I might be in there for quite some time,” Cedric said sharply, looking at Lucas.
At this moment, an unprecedented determination emanated from Cednic. Lucas, too, was instantly
burdened with a heavy responsibility.

“You won’t.. send her off? Lucas looked at Cedric, the sadness in his eyes causing Lucas‘ chest to
tighten.
Cedric shook his head.
Whether in the previous life or this one, what he couldn’t bear the most was personally witnessing her
being laid to rest.
Watching her being buried meant accepting the reality of her absence. As long as he didn’t attend her funeral, he could convince himself that Natalie was still in this world.
There were some things he couldn’t bring himself to witness because seeing them would only deepen his
despair,
He couldn’t leave just yet.
