Chapter 104
Cedrick, Harlan, and David’s gazes instantly focused on Maricela’s face, each clearly showing tension in their eyes.
Harlan was especially agitated, directly started shouting, “What’s there to cry about?
With us backing you up, who dares to give you a hard time?”
David also followed suit, “Exactly, ask Cedrick, the only one who can strut around the company is you!”
“Cedrick…” Maricela said tearfully, looking at Cedrick, “I… I’m really not afraid of hardship… I’m just scared that bad rumors will harm the company, and then it’ll be my fault.
Cedrick, should I resign?”
“Dare!”
Harlan got angry, his red eyes glaring fiercely at Lucille, “Whoever dares to force you to resign is forcing me!
Is forcing Cedrick!
I want to see who really calls the shots in the company!”
“Right!”
David, always siding with Harlan and kissing up, immediately said to Cedrick, “Cedrick, you call the shots in the company!
It’s not yet the turn for a useless waste who’s contributed nothing to boss around.”
The word “waste” is referring to Lucille, right?
In their hearts, Lucille has always been a lame waste.
Lucille listened silently, having no expectations of Cedrick.
She knew Cedrick would never stand by her side.

At that moment, Cedrick was sitting beside Maricela, Maricela looking at him with teary eyes, crying and shaking her head, “Cedrick, I don’t want to trouble you, I absolutely won’t let you be troubled, if one day, between me and any other choice, you have to choose one, I hope you always choose to abandon me…
Really so touching…

Speaking of which, when did Lucille ever force Cedrick to choose?
She always wanted him to give up, okay!
Cedrick, is your brain clear at all?
Of course, Cedrick then demonstrated with skill that his brain isn’t clear.
That idiot Cedrick, his eyes actually turned red…..
No, not just Cedrick’s eyes turned red, Harlan and David’s eyes were also red, Lucille truly saw the disparity in the world, with these three having such little brains, how did they grow the company big?
Lucille inexplicably felt that with this situation continuing, Cedrick’s company would sooner or later be driven bankrupt by them…
“Cedrick, look, what is original intention?
Only the first person has the first heart, only Maricela would wholeheartedly care for you, Cedrick, see clearly!”
Harlan even started sobbing.
“Cedrick…” Maricela cried extremely sadly, collapsing onto Cedrick’s shoulder.
Cedrick, of course, lived up to expectations and hugged Maricela’s shoulder, the four of them moved to tears, and Lucille clearly saw Maricela leaning on Cedrick’s shoulder, giving her a smug and provocative smile.
Lucille hadn’t yet spoken a word when Maricela suddenly scrambled up from Cedrick’s shoulder, choking back tears. “I’m sorry, Lucille. I was wrong,” she stammered, meeting Lucille’s gaze. “I just… I was so upset earlier that I lost control for a moment… Cedrick and I really aren’t… please don’t stare at me like that… I’ve made a mistake, I’m apologizing… please don’t mind…”
“What does she have to mind!”

“What did you do wrong?
What right does she have to mind?
She was nowhere to be seen when we were building this empire together!”
Harlan and David immediately jumped to Maricela’s defense once more.
Meanwhile, Cedrick swept a cool glance over Lucille before everyone’s eyes. His arm slid around Maricela’s shoulders, guiding her firmly back against him.
Cedrick’s eyes brimmed with disappointment as he stared at Lucill
Lucille, I could tolerate your jealousy–at least that stemmed from love. But I can’t accept this poisonous version of you. To indulge your envy, you’d even lie and frame someone!
You’ve become terrifying!”
