278 Cedric Saves Her

Isabella knew that Peter was Cedric’s subordinate, but he was usually very polite. Hearing him speak in such a tone, Isabella was so scared that she took a step back.

“Peter.”

A gentle and pleasant voice sounded. Isabella turned her head and saw Cedric.

He was dressed in a black casual suit, and he was calm and gentle. He looked mature and refined. He said softly, “Don’t scare Isabella.”

“Yes!”

Peter immediately responded and whispered to the middle-aged woman, “Go away immediately.”

The beautiful woman took a look at Cedric. She immediately ran in and closed the door.

Cedric looked at Isabella and reached out his hand, “Isabella, come here.”

Joey stood beside Cedric with his hands down. Cedric looked at her gently. Even so, Isabella felt like he was blending in with the darkness of the night. It was a bit hard for her to see through him.

.....

He looked fierce. Contrary to Joseph’s arrogance, his fierceness was emitted from the inside out, which made others did not dare to resist.

Isabella was confused why Cedric would give her such an impression.

“Cedric ...” Isabella said with a low voice. She did not dare to go over.

Seeing that she was not moving, Cedric walked over and looked down at her, “It is so late. Why are you here alone?”

Isabella did not know why she was so afraid to look at Cedric. She felt that although his tone was very gentle, he revealed a stern aura. She did not dare to speak the truth, “I came out to play and went back late. The dormitory is closed.”

“Where did you go?”

“Where did you go after separating from me?” Cedric asked.

Isabella bit her lips, not knowing how to reply. She stammered, “I... I went to a nearby bar.”

Cedric looked at Isabella and gently pinched her chin to let her look at him, “Do you want to know what the result would be if I didn’t see you here today?”

Isabella looked up at Cedric’s deep eyes and did not dare to move. He was even more frightening than the hooligans. Isabella said, “That sister just now is pretty good...”

“She is the famous procuress in this area. She has her share in all the barbers and foot therapy shops here that involve in the prostitution.”

Cedric lowered his head and approached Isabella. He looked deeply at her eyes, “Moreover, not only does she like to buy women from human traffickers, but she also likes to go out to find those girls who are drunk or ran away from home. She tied them up in the room and let dozens of men take turns to teach them how to serve men. Until those girls start begging for mercy and have no self, then they will have to help her do the prostitution.”

Isabella was frightened by Cedric and continuously retreated. He forced her into a corner and her body slammed into the wall. She stared at Cedric in a daze.

Cedric placed his hand on the wall behind her head. He bent down and wrapped her in the space between him and the wall. He lowered his head and whispered, “Do you know how pity they are? Many of them are younger than you. They are only in their teens. But they will never see their family and friends. They will no longer have freedom...”

The thrilling and despairing night had already made Isabella mentally and physically exhausted. She had thought that she finally met the kind-hearted middle-aged big sister, but unexpectedly...

Isabella couldn’t bear it any longer. With fear and lingering fear, she burst into tears.

Cedric was stunned and released her. His eyes flickered, “Sorry, I don’t mean to scare you. I just don’t want you to come to this place again. It was really dangerous just now.”

Cedric took out a handkerchief and wiped Isabella’s tears. Isabella bit her lips. Tears ran down her face. No matter how he wiped them, he could not wipe them clean.

Cedric smiled and his gaze softened, “Don’t cry. In the future, you must not come to this kind of place alone so late, ok? Many things here are not as beautiful as you usually see. Where will you go, school? I’ll send you.”

Isabella wiped away her tears and looked at Cedric with red eyes. She seemed to have made a decision, “Cedric, can you lend me 500?”

Cedric was stunned, “Borrow money? Sure. But ... why do you want 500 now?”

Isabella lowered her head, “I ran away from home. I want to stay in the hotel.”

“Run away from home...” Cedric frowned, “The Smith’s...”

“Not the Smith’s.”

“My boyfriend doesn’t want to be with me anymore, so I decided to take advantage of the dark and windy night to leave him. I don’t want to be chased out tomorrow, I don’t want to lose face.” Isabella lowered her head and decided to be honest.

She suddenly recalled that Joseph had hung up on her phone just now. She was sadder and cried again.

Cedric clenched his fists and grabbed Isabella’s wrist, “Follow me.”

“Where?” Isabella asked.

“You have no place to stay. Go to my house.” Cedric said.

“Go to your house?”

Isabella was stunned and quickly waved her hand, “No, it’s not good to be seen by uncle and aunt so late at night. Moreover, I will disturb them.”

“I’m living alone.” Cedric pulled Isabella into the car.

Isabella was stunned again, “Live alone ... No, that’s not good either...”

“Why not?” Cedric also sat in and sized up Isabella, “Are you afraid that I will do something bad to you?”

Isabella grinned awkwardly, “No ... I didn’t mean that...”

“It doesn’t matter if you are.”

Cedric rubbed Isabella’s head, “Girls should be wary of men whom they are not very familiar with. However, I will always respect you and won’t bully you. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

Isabella was moved and nodded.

The car arrived at the Golden Apartment, the most famous and luxurious apartment complex in Peace City.

Cedric lived on the 26th floor. The apartment was spacious and bright with luxurious and stylish decoration, and it was very fashionable and unique. It was very suitable for the identity and taste of Cedric as a designer.

Cedric turned on the lights and let Isabella in. He then took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet, “This should fit you.”

“Yes.”

Isabella took the slippers and she noticed that the slippers were for females.

“Are you hungry? Do you need something to eat?” Cedric asked.

“I’m not hungry. I’ve had dinner,” Isabella said.

Cedric took off his coat and hung it on the hanger behind the door. Then he walked into the kitchen, “Do as you please. The bathroom is on your left. I’ll heat a glass of milk for you before you go to sleep.”

Isabella followed him to the kitchen. When she saw Cedric skillfully opening the fridge to get something, she hurriedly said, “No need for milk. I’m not hungry.”

Cedric smiled and said, “I want to drink milk, and will also heat a cup for you.”

“Ok. Thank you.”

Isabella went to the bathroom to wash her hands and face. When she came out, Cedric had already placed the milk on the table. There were also two fried eggs with a piece of ham.
