Chapter 1045
Chapter 1045:
For a brief second, Alexander stiffened, as if Cedric had peeled away his mask. Cedric's eyes narrowed slightly in that fleeting silence.
"Alexander, if I ever find out you put up a tombstone for my wife without my permission and kept it hidden, I'll personally ensure you lose everything-starting with your title as the country's richest man."
The threat in Cedric's voice was unmistakable-undiluted and direct. So blatant, in fact, that Alexander found himself momentarily at a loss for words.
Only after Cedric had been gone for some time did Alexander finally let out the breath he had been holding.
It was only then that he realized-buried beneath his tangled emotions was a sliver of fear. A wry smile tugged at his lips as he watched Cedric's retreating figure, a curse slipping from his mouth. "You won't be smug for much longer!"
Cedric stepped out of the banquet hall, pausing at the entrance as he lit a cigarette. His secretary followed closely behind, but Cedric didn't even glance his way. "Watch Alexander closely. Something about him doesn't sit right."
That air of superiority was the same as when Daniela had first divorced him— back when he was still chasing after her. The secretary nodded. "Yes, sir."
Cedric slipped into the car, yet it remained idle. His gaze stayed locked on the banquet entrance.
The secretary hesitated before speaking carefully. "Sir, the doctor said your leg has just started to regain sensation. You should get some rest; it's already past ten. I'll have someone keep an eye on things here. Why don't you head back? If anything happens, I'll notify you right away."
Cedric sat motionless in the back seat, his cold stare never wavering from the banquet entrance.

Cedric's voice was low and firm. "Follow him."
Midway through the drive, Cedric gave another order. "Find out where Alexander's flying to."
A beat later, the secretary responded, "Fiarantian."
Cedric's brows knitted together before he issued his next command. "Prepare my private jet. We leave for Fiarantian in thirty minutes."
The secretary blinked, momentarily stunned. "Alexander's company has been handling multiple deals lately-he's been flying all over. Are you really going to chase a gut feeling? And your leg..."
Cedric remained silent.
The secretary exhaled a quiet sigh of resignation.
