Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227

Chapter 1227 No sooner had Cedric finished speaking than a wave of sirens wailed from outside.

He darted a look outside the window to see the security guards opening the gate for the police to enter the estate.

Cedric quickly signaled his bodyguard who understood and promptly let go of Hertha.

Poor Hertha was still in the dark about Cedric’s scheme. By the time she came to, there were already several cops in front of her, taking her into custody.

She never saw this coming and flew into a fit of hysteria, yelling, “I told one little lie, and you’re arresting me for that?”

The cop responded coldly, “Mr. Cedric accused you of sexually harassing him. You’re coming with us for investigation.”

She had assumed the accusation was about framing someone, but she couldn’t believe that Cedric was reporting her for sexual harassment. “I never laid a finger on you!”

Cedric snorted. Hertha had been all over him when he was drunk. Wasn’t that sexual harassment?

Cedric ignored her, handing his voice recorder to the cop, “I’ll be pressing charges for sexual harassment, defamation, and false accusations.”

The cop took the recorder, “We’ll bring her in for investigation. If you wish to sue, find a lawyer.”

With a “thank you’, Cedric turned to Hertha, “As you know, my lawyer is none other than the famous Chase McCall.”

The mention of Chase was a clear sign for her to stop struggling. With Chase’s expertise, no one could escape justice.

Hertha’s face darkened, but she continued to hurl insults at Cedric, her foul words disappearing into the mansion as the police car drove away.

After dealing with Hertha, Cedric didn’t even wait for Hailey to apologize, picking up his phone to call Judith and asked for an explanation about the incident at the airport.

Lucky for him, Judith wasn’t Hertha. After hearing Cedric’s explanation, she couldn’t help but chuckle before confessing and resolving the issue about the kiss.

“I’m sorry, Hailey. It was just a goodbye kiss. I didn’t mean anything else, don’t get the wrong idea...”

goodbye kiss At her words, Hailey blushed. Seeing her embarrassment, Cedric quickly took over the phone, telling Judith, “Judith, to put my wife at ease, I’ll be deleting your contact after this call. In the future, please direct all work matters to my assistant.”

“Mr. Laurence, while I find your actions a bit bizarre, I respect your love for your wife. Do as you wish.”

With her approval, Cedric quickly ended the call. As he was about to delete Judith’s contact, Hailey held down his phone screen.

“She’s a business partner. There’s no need to delete her.”

“It’s fine. She can just contact my assistant, same thing.”

Hailey cast her eyes down, shyly saying.

“You make me seem petty.”

She was subtly admitting her shortcomings, but Cedric simply nodded.

“You might be a bit jealous, but I don’t mind.”

Seeing Cedric’s grin, Hailey let go of his phone.

You can delete her if you want. Might as well get rid of Eleanor’s too,” Hailey joked.

Having just deleted Judith’s contact, Cedric looked up at Hailey with a feigned innocence.

“That’s a bit much... My dear brother Bernard would be furious if he found out.”

much...

Hailey, sitting on the sofa, was just about to punch him when a call from “Bernard is so annoying’ appeared on his phone.

Cedric lightly pinched Hailey’s surprised cheek, “Don’t tell Bernard I changed his contact name to this...”

As Cedric got up to take the call, Hailey could tell that a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, making him relaxed and carefree.

She felt the same way, didn’t she?

Hailey gently rubbed her belly.

If it wasn’t for their child, they might have gone their separate ways by now.

After hanging up, Cedric picked up his coat and said to Hailey, “My brother needs me for something urgent. I need to go to the company. You rest well at home.”

1/2 14:34 This time, Hailey didn’t resist, merely nodding obediently, “You... remember to come home early.”

Cedric, already at the door, turned around at her reminder, bent over to scoop Hailey into his arms and gave her a deep kiss.

Hailey was almost breathless from his kiss. A light tap on his chest was all it took for him to release her, grinning like a child with candy as he left.

Just as his Rolls-Royce pulled up to the entrance of the Lawrence Group, he saw the towering figure of Bernard stepping out of a limousine.

In high spirits, Cedric quickly approached Bernard, “Bro, I’ve got two pieces of good news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?”
