Chapter 100

The truth was, Cedric had no idea where this large sum of money would come from.

He was a deadbeat and was clueless about rumming a company. Yet, Harold regarded him as one of his best grandsons. Harold thought very highly of him.

Riley was furious beyond comparison upon hearing Cedric’s remark

Riley said, “Cedric, you don’t even go out to secure business deals and spend all day flirting with women and drinking here. Everyone in the company knows that.

“Didn’t you sleep with a married employee once? The woman’s husband came seeking justice from the company.

“You’re going to inflict great damage sooner or later if you keep doing this.”

Riley appeared worried.

Cedric raised his head and burst out laughing. “You think too much, Riley. I’ve never yielded to anyone in Swallowston. No one in the city dares to claim that they’re more capable than me.

However, she saw a car driving into the company building as she was exiting the building.

The car stopped and a man and a woman got out.

Riley was instantly stunned when she saw the man.

“Adrian?” Riley called out.

Adrian said, “The company has undergone major changes and is completely different from how it was seven years ago, Mya, I’ll leave the company in your care after 1 acquire it.”
