Chapter 338

"This is all my fault. The Payne Group wouldn't have fallen to this state if it weren't for me." Cedric kept shaking his head, caught in a spiral of self-reproach. Scarlett had already picked up on what Leroy was trying to say earlier. Right now, the only thing she could do was keep trying to calm Cedric down. "Don't overthink it. Come down first and I'll take you away from here." A flicker of impatience crossed Scarlett's heart. If it weren't for his precarious position, they wouldn't be stuck in this stalemate. "Come down and talk to us. Tell us what really happened. Maybe we can help you." Despite Grace's personal dislike for Cedric, she knew that if he jumped and died in front of their company, it would only bring more scandal and resentment. "Lettie, I know I've done things that hurt you. I won't make any excuses for myself. But if there's a next life… I'd like to start over with you." Cedric smiled—a heartbreaking, charming smile. Then, he let himself fall without warning.
