Chapter 403: Kaiden is dead
Cedric emerged, his brows furrowed as he entered deep thought. What was going on? It felt like someone was trying to frame Abrielle.
He closed his eyes to heighten his sense of hearing. His eyes went wide in shock, and he grabbed Abrielle, who was equally puzzled, and they were engulfed by black smoke.
The smoke disappeared, a dim room revealing itself before them. Abrielle was still confused about what was going on. Cedric walked forward, leaving her side, towards the bed. He stopped halfway and his lips parted. "Kaiden is dead."
His hand clenched, and everything was starting to make sense now. The reason he rushed to check Kaiden was because he sensed him struggling to breathe and just as expected he died before he got here
It was an assassination, and Abrielle was made the scapegoat. That was the only explanation why someone with a similar feature to her was enchanted to appear exactly like her. Wearing the same dress?
"He is dead," she blurted. She had suspected Kaiden would die very soon but this gave her a weird feeling. Cedric stepped forward, his gloved hand studying Kaiden’s, whose breathing had stopped. His eyes were wide open in shock at his last moment.
He was probably stunned to see his daughter-in-law before his death. "Did anyone see you while coming here?" Cedric asked her calmly. Even in a situation like this, he was still calm and collected.
Abrielle’s hand clenched, sensing the tension. "Bernice and Kairen did see me." She informed him and Cedric hissed. There was an alibi.
"I think you are going to be framed for Kaiden’s death,or rather I would be accused of it. The prodigal son finally killed his father." Cedric laughed. It was truly hilarious.
