Chapter 521

To save his beloved lady, Jason didn’t hesitate to turn himself in to the police after Cedric approached him for a negotiation. He signed a confession without a second thought.

And all of this was orchestrated by Cedric without even informing Matthew. It was like slicing through the chaos with swift and decisive action, catching Évadne and Thaddeus completely off guard!

Thaddeus held the trembling form of his lady close, while glaring at Cedric’s smug expression. “Cedric, what kind of dirty tricks. did you use to force Jason into confessing?”

“Dirty tricks? Mr. Thaddeus, you keep on attacking me personally. My poor heart can’t take this. You owe me for emotional distress,” Cedric said, feigning pain in his chest yet unable to hide his schadenfreude. “Interrogating suspects is the police’s job. I’m just a lawyer, what kind of influence do you think I have? It was he himself who signed the papers and made the fingerprint. No one forced him; it was all voluntary”

“Cedric, evil will never triumph over good. You’ll be devoured by the very monster you’ve created. And don’t you dare think you’ve won until the very end.”

Evadne’s eyes blazed with a bloodthirsty red as she clutched Thaddeus’s hand tightly, as if this was the only way to maintain her sanity. “As long as I, Evadne, draw breath, you will never win.”

“Well, I’ll be waiting to see how you plan to win, Ms. Evadne. Don’t keep me waiting too long, Cedric sneered, showing his true colors as a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Though they had planned meticulously, yet they had overlocked one crucial detail.

Cedric was Jason’s own brother. They had grown up together and even if their moral compasses pointed in entirely different directions, one thing was undeniable-

Cedric, as the older brother, had an intimate understanding of Jason’s psyche.

When Cedric went to negotiate with Jason, Evadne and Thaddeus hadn’t even reached the police station. Yet, Cedric had already been playing hardball to exploit Jason’s vulnerabilities and hit him where it hurt!

And Jason’s weak spots were nothing other than Evadne and Nydial

He had used them to threaten Jason, who would rather die than blink an eye under such pressure!

Matthew’s gaze darkened. So, Cedric had gone behind his back to make his moves. And he had done it so well.

Even though Jason had confessed, he didn’t feel a shred of gratitude for Cedric, a man driven by profit and disloyal to his kin.

Thaddeus was right; Cedric was nothing but a cold–hearted beast. If he could sacrifice his own brother today for his selfish desires, he would not hesitate to do the same to others tomorrow.

This man needed to be watched carefully.

“Chief Roderick, since the suspect has confessed, we can now formally charge Jason and proceed with the legal judgment,” Cedric said, eager to close the case and leave Jason no chance of reversing the verdict, so as to make Evadne regret her
