Chapter 992 992

Name:Never Judge Author:
"What is going on?" Adrianna asked Cedric as they stood to the side of the maternity ward in Saints Hospital. "Where is Ray?"

"Dealing with things." Cedric curtly told his wife.

They were in public, he needed to act the part.

His kingdom was slowly crashing around him, people expected him to be furious, bothered by the situation.

Adrianna knew better. She had been with Cedric every step of the way, she knew this was all part of his plan. Her husband never lost his temper over the situation of their companies, he had a solution based attitude, he never dwelled on the problems.

"He should be here, his wife is in labor!" Adrianna practically shouted, catching the attention of bystanders, some were spies. Adrianna was well aware that their enemies had placed people to watch them.

She caught a small smile from the corner of Cedric's lips, she knew he was aware she was acting.

"He will be here when he is done, go accompany my sister." Cedric said in a harsh tone, making his wife glare at him.

Without saying another word she turned her back on him and marched back into the maternity ward.

Soon, Mae, one of Cedric's assistants, came rushing into the hospital carrying documents and a laptop.

She was clearly in distress as she approached an already annoyed Cedric.

"What happened this time?" Cedric asked loud enough for the spies to hear the annoyance in his tone.

"Sir, maybe we need to discuss this in private." Mae suggested in a low voice, playing her role perfectly.

"Have someone find out what is happening, how the fuck did we let this happen!" Cedric was still angry as he marched away towards Nicole's office.

Behind him, Mae quickly gave her brother and Dave a call telling them about Cedric's orders to investigate what was going on with the business.

Dave and Mien, who were both at R Tower, needed to play the roles of frantic assistants as they tried to get to the bottom of the issue.

Of course, the two men already knew the reason, they just needed to make it look like the Rajas were winning.

"Have you found the spies?" Cedric asked as he sat on the couch and calmly studied the behavior of the stock prices.

Ian was doing a very good job of manipulating things while Cedric and the other provided him with weak spots to attack.

"We did, we've been feeding them wrong information while Mien and Dave are competing for the best actor award." Mae said excitedly as she handed Cedric some documents she needed him to sign.

Despite the dropping stock prices, work continued as usual for the employees of the Reyes Group.

Most employees were well aware of the crashing prices and the situation the Reyes Group was in, but they had so much faith in the management that they continued to do their job.

"Send a message to Ian. Tell him it's time." Cedric told Mae as he signed all the documents she needed. "I don't want Ray to miss the birth of his child. Come to me after, we'll execute the second part of the plan."

"The timing is quite dramatic, isn't it?" Mae asked as she laughed at how well things had fallen into place.

"I doubt anyone could have written it better." Cedric replied with a smile as he pushed the documents back towards Mae.

Mae bowed towards Cedric, she knew that when he saw him later things would be very different.

While Mae left, Cedric remained inside Nicole's office. He didn't want to be around spies who would be reporting everything he did. He knew the more exposed he was to the public, the higher the chance of him messing up.

"Ced, I found you." Adrianna told her husband as she breathed a sigh of relief.

Cedric had lost track of time and had no idea how long he had been in Nicole's office. He was working most of the time, the rest was spent planning and running all possible scenarios in his head.

"Has Ray arrived?" Cedric asked his wife as he lifted his head from the laptop screen.

"Yes, Ayanna has also given birth to a beautiful baby boy. She's in the VIP ward." Adrianna told her husband as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"We'll join them in a bit." Cedric said with a nod as he closed the laptop and checked his phone.

"Are you alright?" Adrianna asked her husband as she noticed the odd expression on his face. It was rare to see Cedric as worried as he was now.

"I'm just thinking of everything that could go wrong, I'll be fine." He gave her a small smile as a message from Mae made his phone buzz.

He picked it up and checked the message to confirm that everything was going as planned.

"Come on, time to put on a show then meet the little one." Cedric said as he offered his hand to Adrianna and they walked out of the office together, making their way to one of the more public areas of the hospital.

Cedric wanted an audience, he wanted everyone that could hear him to hear him. He needed to make a scene for things to work out the way he wanted them to.

"I'll make this as quick as possible." He whispered into Adrianna's ear as soon as he spotted Mae.

"Mr. Reyes, I have news." Mae called out as she rushed to meet him and Adrianna.

"Mae, as you can see I'm quite busy with personal matters. This better be worth my time." Cedric said in a cold tone, making the people around them pause and turn.

They had heard of how Cedric was as a husband and as a boss. They knew that kind was the last word they would use to describe him as a CEO, but seeing it in person was a very different experience compared to hearing the rumors.

"Sir, it's Mr. Lim." Mae told him as she glanced around, seemingly unsure if she should tell him in public or in private.

"Out with it." Cedric demanded in a loud voice, drawing the attention of everyone.

"Mr. Lim left, he took some documents with him, but he is gone." Mae said as she tried to look as panicked and worried as possible, selling their act.

"WHAT!?" Cedric shouted, making people raise their phones and record what happened next.
