No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1510

Mia immediately called Alfred and asked, "What happened last night? How had Mr. Hitchcock offended Cedric?"

"That idiot from the Hitchcock family showed up with a female companion who looked a little like Nelly and provoked Cedric on purpose. So, he got beaten up."

Alfred was equally troubled. Utterly at a loss, he glanced over at Cedric, still sprawled on the bed and dead drunk.

In truth, Cedric's condition wasn't optimistic. He'd used extreme, destructive methods to keep Noelle's name carved into his bones and treated her as his most sensitive spot no one could touch. That was the only way he could stop himself from forgetting she existed.

These three years had been hell for him.

Mia sighed into the phone. "The Hitchcocks came to me and threatened to publicly press charges, but I've suppressed the news."

"I'll send someone to talk to them. This isn't a big deal," Alfred replied. He hadn't expected Cedric to fight the Hitchcock son so viciously either, nearly killing him.

The once controlled, disciplined gentleman had turned into an unpredictable lunatic. And now, Alfred understood this was what Carl had wanted all along—to turn Cedric into someone else entirely. That was just damn cruel.

Over the course of three years, Cedric lost most of his memories, but never Noelle. After hanging up, Alfred looked over at Cedric, stirring awake.

"I had the housekeepers make hangover soup. Have some."

Waking up, Cedric sat in silence for a while before getting up and heading into the bathroom for a shower. Not a single word was said about the fight from last night.

Moments later, Magnus called Alfred, who reassured him by saying, "Cedric's fine. The Hitchcocks just need handling."

Sitting in the Greene Corporation office, Magnus said, "I've spoken to them and had it dealt with."
