Chapter 362:
“I'd hold my tongue if | were you.”
Alexander halted, a bit taken aback.
“I didn’t poke the bear, you know.”
Cedric’s voice was an icy warning.
“Pushfurther, and | might just lose my cool in a way you'll regret.”
Alexander let out a nervous chuckle, but before he could retort, Cedric’s fists descended on him like a hailstorm.
Soon after, an ambulance whisked Alexander away, the doctor confirming he had fractured ribs and wouldn't be
rising from his bed for a month.
Caiden observed Cedric with newfound trepidation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn that moment, following Daniela’s departure, Caiden suddenly saw Cedric’s true nature. It was an authority
that tolerated no backtalk, a display of violence that was bone-chilling to its core. Caiden was so on edge that he
even moderated his breathing; he tiptoed around his own home, ensuring his activities were silent, and even
resorted to watching TV on mute.
The Harper family had never felt Daniela’s absence more acutely.
“Since Daniela isn’t here, and our space here is a bit cramped, perhaps you'd be more comfortable at your
place?” Caiden ventured cautiously, his voice tinged with the fear of provoking Cedric.
Cedric continued to eat his meal, casting a steely glance that froze the room, radiating a daunting, oppressive
air.
Katrina, finding it difficult to swallow her food, hurriedly interjected, “It's just that we thought you might prefer
the comforts of your own home. Caiden, csit closer. Cedric is perfectly capable of deciding for himself.”
Caiden retracted further into his chair.
Cedric tasted nothing of his meal, and a palpable tension swathed the villa.
As soon as Cedric departed, Joyce exhaled a long-held breath.
“Having Cedric around was like walking on thin ice. Absolutely terrifying!”
This ssuffocating atmosphere had seeped into every corner of Phillips Group.
Within just half a month, the HR department had seen eight different organizational charts.
The finance department was already preparing financial forecasts stretching three years into the future.
The marketing department underwent a comprehensive restructuring of all market strategies.
During this upheaval, everyone felt they were treading on eggshells, sitting ramrod straight, dreading getting
swept up in Cedric’s tempest.
A finance staff member pleaded with Cedric’s secretary.
“Please, any word on when Daniela will return?”
A marketing team member added, “Honestly, just catching a glimpse of Mr. Phillips is enough to trigger a stress

meetings, terrified to make eye contact with Mr. Phillips!”
The collective sigh from the staff was palpable.
“Daniela’s prolonged business trip is stretching us thin! Please, we need a reprieve!”
Perhaps the universe was listening to their prayers.
