Chapter 858
After a long period of investigation and interrogating all the guests and staff who stayed at the hostel where Cedrick waited the day of the accident, Eason found a video.
It was a short video of a young couple climbing a mountain nearby. They habitually shot a video and uploaded it to social media, but their camera happened to catch a certain...scene.
Cedrick stared at the video that Eason brought back, and his pupils shrank in sheer shock.
In the video, it was clear that 'Cedrick' was walking toward a parking lot.
Inadvertently looking at the camera, his eyes gleamed with pure malice, one that could only be from a demon that crawled out of hell.
He was in a black suit, the same as what he was wearing that day, except there was a black skull necklace on his neck.
This detail matched the confession Stella made.
This man, wearing a particular skull necklace, hit Stella with his car.
The time on the lower right corner of the video showed that it was 7 p.m., which was the same time he checked in and should have been taking a shower in his room.
In other words, there were two Cedricks in Sapphire City.
While he was taking a shower, the man in the video secretly drove the car away, hit Stella, and then returned the car as if nothing had happened.
Cedrick fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine and did not know all of that. That was why he was forced to take the blame.
"M-Master Cedrick, I heard that having twins is also hereditary. Could you have a twin brother out there that your parents never told you about?" Eason asked timidly.
Eason was very clear that Cedrick would not show such a ferocious expression to strangers. He doubted Cedrick had taken too much medicine and its side effects made him lose his memory.
Stella made it clear that the man who ran her over felt different from Cedrick.
When Cedrick saw that video, he finally connected the dots and was shocked. "Who else knows about this?"
Eason shook his head solemnly. "I investigated this myself. No one should know about it."
'Take this to your grave, then."
"Understood."
Cedrick ordered Eason to pick up Ezekiel the next day, then went upstairs to take a hot shower so he could wash off the disgusting smell of the puppy's fur.
He then drove to Mason Chateau, where Draco was ready to go to bed.
When a servant told him that Cedrick had arrived, he went downstairs doubtfully after putting on a coat.
Draco sat on the couch and, with a cane at hand, asked in a dignified manner, "What brings you here?"
