At this moment, Nico returned to the observation room. He saw Cedrick and Joe alone in the cell. His heart rate suddenly quickened. “This is bad,” he thought and hurriedly rushed over.
Joe was a madman and a skilled fighter. If he ends up hurting Cedrick, Nico would be to blame.
Inside the cell, seeing that Joe was already dead drunk, Cedrick didn’t want to waste any more time. He picked up his coat and turned to leave.
From afar, he saw Nico sprinting toward him, his face etched with indescribable anxiety.
With a worried look, Nico meticulously checked Cedrick’s condition. “Cedrick, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I need to head back to the office to attend to a few matters.”
Cedrick took his leave. Nico checked on Joe’s cell as an extra precaution to make sure nothing was amiss.
As long as the judicial review went smoothly, Joe’s days were numbered.
Meanwhile, at Jenson Group.
Cedrick returned to the company with a cold expression on his face. The employees, who were originally dozing off, immediately stood up to greet him when they saw him. “M-Mr. Jenson!”
Upon hearing that Cedrick had returned, everyone immediately perked up, fearing that a moment’s inattention would invoke a scolding from Cedrick.
In the company, Cedrick was known for being strict and ruthless. No one dared to cross him.
Upon learning that Cedrick had returned to the company, his assistant immediately organized all the documents and delivered papers to him.
“Everything in the company is running smoothly. Here are the latest meeting minutes and key points. Is there anything else you need?”
Flipping through the documents handed over by his assistant, Cedrick casually waved his hand.
In the afternoon, Cedrick issued the company’s requirements and performance goals for the new quarter.
Everyone looked at the document posted on the company’s website, their faces filled with dismay.
The good old days were over now that Cedrick had returned. It was time to start working overtime again.
After one day, Cedrick finally finished dealing with his backlog. He felt a faint pain from the bruises on his body.
As he got up, his movements tugged at his wound, causing an unbearable surge of pain. Immediately, Cedrick bent over.
As soon as his assistant entered the room, he immediately noticed that something was off with Cedrick. He quickly rushed over to help him up.
“Mr. Jenson, what’s wrong with you?”
Cedrick’s lips were pale. He furrowed his brows and said. “I’m fine. Please take me to the hospital.”
His assistant immediately drove him to the hospital.
Aside from the bruises on his body, there was nothing seriously wrong with Cedrick. After taking a painkiller, he returned to the lab.
The sun had already set when Gwendolyn picked up Zendaya from kindergarten.
Their life seemed to have finally returned to normal.
Through the small window of the ward, Cedrick saw Gwendolyn playing and laughing with two children. With a smile in his eyes, he pushed the door and walked in.
“Daddy!”
Zendaya rushed over, darting straight into his arms, almost tumbling over in the process.
The little girl excitedly said, “I was praised by my kindergarten teacher today. She said I’m the bravest kid in the class. Also, our teacher mentioned that tomorrow is Parent-Child Day. I wonder if Daddy has time to attend?
Cedrick gently rubbed her head, smiling as he replied. “If it’s your request, how can Daddy not go?”
