Chapter 459 - 459



"Cedric." Adrianna called out as she, Ayanna, and Priscilla returned from their walk in the garden.

"Adri." Cedric said with a smile. His eyes wandered off to check on his sister, he knew Ayanna wouldn\'t be happy, he was worried about her.

​​

"We\'re fine." Adrianna said as she placed a hand on her husband\'s shoulder.

"Ayanna?" Cedric asked as he threw his younger sister a look of concern.

"I\'m alright Cedric." Ayanna said with a weak smile.

"I hope you don\'t mind, but I offered to take the girls on a shopping trip tomorrow." Priscilla Reyes told her son.

"Of course not mom." Cedric said with a smile. He knew that the girls would want to do something they enjoyed to forget about the wedding incident. Plus if all of the girls were there the security would be tighter.

"Great, we\'ll just be at Pris mall, and since everyone saw Adri as Ayanna\'s matron of honor it won\'t be an issue if I were to be there with them." Priscilla told her son.

Cedric simply laughed and nodded at them.

"Has there been any development?" Ayanna asked, she too was worried about Alexi and Selina. She had become quite close to Selina since they started working together.

"The security team did get the girl\'s name." Cedric informed them. "I\'ve asked Leon to join Alexi\'s team in collecting her. Hopefully she will be able to tell us if she was hired by someone or if her actions were independent of any outside influence."

"I really hope we find whoever is behind this." Ayanna said in quite a foul mood.

"Let\'s go back and join everyone." Cedric said as he took his wife\'s hand and walked back to the living room with her, his sister, and his mother. 

"I refused to allow you!" Natalia shouted. 

Cedric was quite surprised as Natalia was normally the one among the siblings. As they entered Cedric saw her and Adolfo arguing with Alexi.

"Come on Natalia, Adolfo, you have to let us use that serum. I know just how powerful it can be." Alexi pleaded with the couple.

"That serum is experimental! You shouldn\'t even know about it." Natalia told her older brother. 

"You let Cedric use the other one, why can\'t I use this?" Alexi complained. 

"It\'s not the same Alexi and you know it." Natalia told her brother as she crossed her arms on her chest. 

Cedric grinned as he spotted Adolfo trying to calm Natalia down by massaging her shoulders.

"Alexi, the serum Cedric used was among those stolen." Adolfo calmly explained.

Cedric was puzzled as to how Adolfo knew which serums were stolen by Jen, but then he looked at Adolfo and Natalia. It seemed like the two were now in an odd relationship so it was possible that Natalia had discussed it with Adolfo.

"Alexi, can\'t we get the information out of the woman the traditional way?" Cedric asked, interrupting the argument.

"It\'s not a guarantee." Alexi said, shaking his head.

"Do we even know her name yet?" Cedric asked as he raised an eyebrow at Alexi.

Before he had left to fetch his wife, sister, and mother he had asked Alexi to get the woman\'s name so that they could look into her background.

"Paola Rodriguez." Alexi said with a shrug. "The name doesn\'t even ring a bell to me. Then again, I don\'t exactly remember everyone."

"Have you had someone look into it?" Cedric asked, slightly annoyed with Alexi.

"No." Alexi said, shaking his head.

"So you have been just standing here, arguing with your sister on a serum you clearly couldn\'t use?" Cedric asked.

Alexi didn\'t respond, he knew he was wrong in this situation.

"Dave, Mae." Cedric called out. 

His assistants had been resting in the adjacent entertainment room. As they entered Dave smiled at Selina\'s parents.

"You can catch up with Helios later." Cedric told Dave. 

Dave simply nodded. He and Helios belonged to the same group of friends in university, as a matter of fact Dave was with Selina and Helios when Cedric and the other boys first bumped into drunk Selina at Hype bar.

"Paola Rodriguez, find out what you can about her." Cedric instructed. "You can narrow down the search by checking the wedding guestlist. My main concern is, I want to know if Alexi had a relationship with her in the past."

"Doesn\'t Mr. Sebastian remember?" Dave asked.

"Don\'t make me repeat myself Dave." Alexi hissed. "I know you\'re friends with Selina and Helios, so don\'t you dare cross the line." Alexi didn\'t like it when people took shots at him, but since Dave was friends with the twins he was exerting extra tolerance towards the assistant.

"We\'ll get on it sir." Mae said in an attempt to shift the attention. 

Dave simply nodded as Mae pulled him out of the living room to work.

Cedric let out a sigh as he looked towards Ram and Ray.

"Any chance the name is familiar?" Cedric asked.

"Well Rodriguez is a common name." Ram said with a shrug. "I\'ll check if there was any news about a Paola Rodriguez."

"She probably has some sort of connection with us, I know of a few Rodriguezes invited to the wedding, some from my side, some from yours. I\'ll check on my end." Ram said with a nod as he dialed a number.

"Paola, Paola, Paola." Katerina said repeatedly.

"Katerina if you keep repeating that name I\'m going to get jealous." Eric teased her.

"It\'s familiar." Katerina told them.

"Katerina, of course it will be familiar." Ayanna said. "You helped with the invitations, remember?"

"No, it\'s more than that. I just can\'t place my finger on it." Katerina said with a sigh as she gave up on the idea.

"Sir." Leon said as he arrived. "We have her."

"Take her to the garage." Cedric instructed. "I don\'t want her in the house."

Leon nodded and left to do as Cedric asked.

"Uncles, Aunties." Cedric said as he turned his attention to the elders in the room. "I know you are all very anxious and you want to know what\'s going on, but please trust that we can handle this."

"I\'ll join you." Cedric\'s father, Emilio Reyes said.

"Me too." Jose Sebastian stood and walked over. "This is my son\'s mess, I should do what I can to help."

"Dad, it\'s unbecoming for the president to interrogate someone." Alexi complained.

"I wouldn\'t have to do this if you were more careful." Jose said, rolling his eyes at his son, making Katerina and Natalia laugh.

"I\'m joining cause I\'m the best interrogator here." Katerina declared. "And none of you men can complain." She said as she walked out.

"You chose her, I\'m forced to be her brother." Alexi teased as he followed after Katerina.

As everyone had left, Dave and Mae entered the living room once more, just in time to catch Cedric.

"Boss, she never dated Mr. Sebastian." Dave suddenly said.
