Chapter 34 Not Afraid
Subconsciously hiding her hands still stained with blood behind her, Cedric asked her in confusion, “Why did you suddenly come over? It’s so late, aren’t you resting?”
Although Cedric acted quickly, Ladonna still saw everything in her eyes.
She pursed her lips helplessly, knowing in her heart that Cedric was doing it for her.
Besides, she is not the kind of woman who gets scared easily when things happen.
So Ladonna smiled and reached out to grasp Cedric’s hand, which he had hidden behind his back.
He wiped away the bright red mark on the palm of his hand himself.
“You also know it’s very late now? I didn’t come here just to take a look, what are you up to?”
The atmosphere was gradually changing, Cedric looked at Ladonna standing in front of him.
When she faced herself, there was no trace of fear on her face.
This touched Cedric’s heartstrings again.
With thin lips pursed, he withdrew his gaze from Ladonna and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“How is Izabella doing?”
Actually, Cedric was just looking for a topic, otherwise it would have

been too awkward.
“Just woke up a while ago, feeling much better now, no need to worry.”
After drying her hands, Ladonna turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Cedric grabbing her hand.
Her turning motion was a pause, but she did not directly withdraw her hand that was being held, and thus left the basement following Cedric.
The next day, Cedric got up and left while Ladonna was still asleep. He wasn’t busy today.
But the series of events that happened one after another in the past few days forced him to go see someone as well.
Inside the Ferguson’s mansion, Randall was still having breakfast when he heard the maid running to the front hall.
“What’s with the impatience?” Randall scolded, frowning in disapproval.
Although he was getting older, Randall’s face still bore a dignified expression, making him look intimidating.
The servant noticed his mistake and quickly apologized, then explained, “I’m sorry, sir, it’s, it’s Mr. Ferguson who has returned.”
Randall’s eyes flashed a look of surprise, although he had long guessed that his grandson would probably come looking for him soon.
But he didn’t expect it to come so soon.
“Oh? If you’re here, you’re here. Why panic?”
The servant, still with his head down, hesitated and explained, “I, I also brought another person.”
“Who?” Randall asked, sensing that something was amiss as he spoke.

“Of course it was someone Grandpa knew.”
This sentence was said by Cedric, and after his voice fell, his figure appeared in the hall.

And right behind him, there was a woman who had been beaten so badly that she couldn’t even stand up straight, if you look closely, you can still
tell who she is.
Yes, it was Alaina who was locked in the basement.
Randall’s gaze only glanced lightly at Alaina, who was casually thrown on the ground, and then he smiled and asked Cedric.
“How come you arrived so early all of a sudden? Let’s sit down and have a meal together.”
Cedric didn’t say anything, sat across from Randall, and then took out the knife that belonged to Alaina.
Cedric placed the knife on the table and said bluntly, “Was all of this arranged by you, Grandpa?”
Randall, however, seemed to understand nothing, and he looked at Cedric with confusion.
“What are you talking about? My old man is getting old and doesn’t understand!”
“Grandpa, you have always been very capable, so there is no need to play dumb riddles with me. This woman is someone you arranged to be by my side, I know. It’s been so long, no matter what she does, I haven’t cared.”
“But now things are different, she has touched the wrong person.”
As he spoke, Cedric’s gaze fell on the butler standing next to Randall.
“Even the steward behind Grandpa is the same, Grandpa has nothing to
