447 How Dare You Use Me?
Without a word, Cedric stepped forward and swept away everything on the table. He then grabbed Stella by the neck and lifted her up!
âWho the hell are you?â
Stellaâs agent screamed and hurriedly stood up from the bed. She pulled Cedricâs arm and said sternly, âAre you crazy? Behave yourself, or I will call the security...â
A slap sounded.
Cedric slapped the agent to the ground. âScram!â
The agent was stunned. She was dizzy on the ground and was quickly dragged out by Peter and Joey. Only Cedric and Stella were left in the room. Stella was so scared that she gripped Cedricâs wrist with all her might. Her face was full of horror. âCedric, whatâs wrong with you?â
âStella, who is the father of the baby in your belly?â
A hint of panic flashed through Stellaâs eyes. âYou know it, right? Joseph has told you everything, right?â
Cedric narrowed his eyes. âYou really lied to me! That child is not Josephâs at all!â
.....
Stellaâs eyes widened. âYou tricked me!â
âYes! I tricked you!
âBecause I know Joseph too well. He was not the kind who would shamelessly propose to Isabella after he and you had a child!â
Stella said in disbelief, âDid he really propose to Isabella? They made up so quickly.â
âStella! How dare you use me!â
When Cedric heard Stellaâs words, he instantly understood everything. He exerted strength in his hands, and narrowed his eyes with anger. âDo you know the price of using me? Tell me the truth! Who is the father of the child in your belly? Why did Joseph fall for your trap?â
Stella opened her mouth and rolled her eyes in pain. Her entire face was purple from suffocation, âIt is Kasonâs child.â
Cedric was stunned. He released Stella and took a step back. He looked at Stellaâs belly in horror. âItâs Kasonâs child. Youâre pregnant with Kasonâs child. How is this possible?â
Stella covered her throat and coughed violently for a while.
She then sneered, âWhy is it impossible? You donât dare to hurt me, do you? Arenât you afraid of Kasonâs retaliation?â
âKason is heartless. At the age of 15, he personally killed the man who raised him and taught him a lot of skills. He is a person who had no concept of what the family is. How could he let you keep the child? When he joined the mafia, he swore that he would not establish a home and have any child. He said he would devote his life to his career and no one would become his weakness!â Cedric said.
Cedric then concluded, âYouâre lying! The women who wanted to keep his child in the past were all killed by him!â
Stella said, âYes, you are right. Thatâs why I asked Joseph to help me to keep this child...â
Stella sat on the bed with tears streaming down her face. She sneered, âI am the kind of woman you are talking about. I have been with Kason for so many years. I was pregnant with his child five times, but he dragged me to have an abortion operation every time he knew that I was pregnant... My uterine wall has been damaged to the point that I can no longer have a child! The doctor said that if this child cannot be saved, I may never have a chance to get pregnant again in my life!â
âBut if you do this, it will attract Kasonâs revenge!â
âEven though Kason was ruthless, he is still a human! I do not believe that he will really kill his own child after I give birth to the child!â
Cedric clenched his fists tightly. âSo you asked Joseph to do this for you, right? If Kason knew about this, he would definitely think that you guys were trying to find something on him. Both you and Joseph will die in a miserable way!â
âNo, no one will know about this. As long as everyone thinks that this child is Josephâs, then Kason will not know about this...â
Stellaâs eyes were filled with madness. She added, âAnd Kason has the rule of not killing children under the age of two, not to mention his own child!â
Cedric shook his head in disbelief. âStella, you are crazy! You actually want to keep Kasonâs child. You know itâs Kasonâs taboo. You are really crazy...â
âYes, Iâm crazy!â Stella roared.
She then continued, âWhen I was isolated, I found I was pregnant! When everyone gave up on me, my child miraculously appeared! This is a gift from the heavens to me. Donât blame me. Even if I have to risk my life, I will protect the child regardless of whether his father is Kason or the devil!â
Cedric was lost for words.
On the river around Peace City.
The boat filled with the fragrance of fresh flowers and dolls leisurely sailed by.
Isabella looked at Josephâs expression and said awkwardly, âIâm sorry... I didnât mean that. Forget it, and I wonât mention it.â
Joseph opened the small box in front of him. He said, âYouâre right. Maybe I didnât see through Stella at all. From the beginning to now, I have never really seen through her... If it wasnât for what happened to you, I would never know that she liked to lie so much.â
Isabella looked at Josephâs sad look, scratched her head and explained, âMaybe her nature is not like this. She was scared by the kidnapping... Her behavior was a little despicable, but it was because she really loves you so much and has no sense of security. And thatâs why she went crazy and unscrupulous.â
Joseph looked up at Isabella and raised his eyebrows. âWhy are you suddenly on her side? She just tripped us and caused a big misunderstanding between us. Based on your personality, shouldnât you be so angry that you want to teach her a lesson right now?â
Isabella blushed and gave Joseph a small punch. âIâm not that furious... Iâm not on her side, I just... I just donât want you to be too sad. After all, she is your childhood friend. If she is really bad and has deceived you a lot, you will be sad too.â
âYes...â
Joseph sighed softly, âFor so many years, I have never questioned what she said to me... If she really kept lying to me...â
Joseph lowered his head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed at himself. âThatâs too scary...â
Seeing Josephâs expression, Isabella hurriedly snatched the box in front of him. âForget it, darling, letâs not talk about it anymore. Let me see what good things you have here.â
Joseph looked at Isabella, who was happily flipping through the box. He moved forward and pulled Isabella into his arms, âIsabella, the father of the child in Stellaâs belly is very dangerous. Can you pretend that you donât know about this at all? After I return Stella this favor, I wonât meet her again, okay?â
Isabella lay in Josephâs arms. âIs that person the legendary ruthless and terrible Kason?â
Josephâs eyes flickered. After a long silence, he said, âNo, he is a freak even more terrifying than Kason.â
