Chapter 248: Grumpy ass
Lucian had a strong feeling Cedric was behind this but there was no evidence. He felt his sister’s humiliation and could not believe why Cedric could do such a thing.
"Pray I don’t find any evidence tying you to what happened," Lucian said. Cedric was completely unbothered and shrugged, averting his eyes from Lucian.
"If you can excuse me I have something of great importance to handle. Good luck with your investigation. I hope you find what you are searching for." His voice was taunting. No fear or remorse and this triggered Lucian. His hands clenched as he watched Cedric leave.
Cedric was a cocky bastard. Lucian felt a soft hold on his hand, which made him relax as he glanced to his side to see Callista. Her clear blue eyes calm his rage, boiling inside him.
"Being angry won’t solve anything, Lucian." Her voice was soothing to the ears. Lucian had not sensed her coming but her mere presence was like a calming pill on her.
"I can’t understand why he would do such a thing. I know he is at odds with Astrid for the scar on his face but she is married now." Lucian explained, completely unaware of what Astrid did to Cedric.
"You can’t accuse him without evidence and I think things between Cedric and Astrid might be more complex than you think. After all, if Cedric is indeed the one who did what you said, why hasn’t he done this the past few years ago." Lucian’s brows furrowed, his mind plunging into deep thoughts as he tried to wrap his head around Callista’s reasoning.
"The question you should ask is why now of all times? From what I know about Cedric he is mostly not bothered by everything." Callista added.
"Why does it feel like you know something you are not telling me?" Lucian accused Callista, taking her off guard. Her eyes flickered, and her lips were between her teeth, which she bit.
