Chapter 626

Cedrick Is Ruthless

Breathing heavily, Yael endured the agonizing pain all over his body as he glared at Cedrick and
gnashed his teeth, hating himself for being unable to bite the latter to death right then and there.

Cedrick met his gaze with a condescending look in his eyes, his expression cold.

Yael could not help thinking about how he had worked so hard his whole life only to suffer such a
punishment in his old age. On top of that, he was criticized by his kin and kicked out of the family. To
him, a punishment like that was nothing short of a death sentence.

However, Cedrick was determined to destroy every last shred of dignity Yael had carefully cultivated in
the Jensen family for many years, making the latter pay a hefty price for his past sins.

The ruthless punishment that took place in the ancestral hall unsettled everyone who witnessed the
scene.

Yael’s mouth had been taped shut after Nico found him too noisy, so the former had no way of hurling
the insults and curses he wanted to say. All he could do was glare at Cedrick accusingly.

By the time the meeting ended, the smell of Yael’s blood had permeated the entire ancestral hall,
leaving many looking pale and terrified.

Cedrick instructed Nico to take Yael away, send him back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s
detention center, and seek treatment for the injuries on his back.

After Yael had been led away, the other family members could finally leave, and many slipped off
hastily.



In truth, it would have been sufficient to gather a few of the family’s respected elders to watch Yael and
his family receive punishment. However, Cedrick had summoned everyone to witness the ruthless act
of kicking them out of the family. Clearly, it was to make an example of them and warn the rest to watch
their behavior. If anyone dared to do what Yael and his family did and keep causing trouble, they would
be taught a lesson.

Everyone present was smart and could guess Cedrick’s real motive for calling for the meeting,
especially the two men who had just tried to help Yael and his family-Albert and Clarence. Stricken with
terror. they desperately wished they could strap themselves to a rocket and leave the ancestral hall
immediately.

However, just as the two older men reached the hall’s entrance, they were stopped by the Jenson
family’s bodyguards. “Mr. Albert and Mr. Clarence, please stay a little longer. Mr. Cedrick would like to
speak to the both of you in private.”

The two men exchanged glances, their expressions stiffening at the same time.

Inside the ancestral hall, the housekeepers were already cleaning the blood stains left on the floor from
the punishment. Gwendolyn was helping a pale-faced Triss out when she noticed the terrified looks on
Albert’s and Clarence’s faces. However, she led Triss past the two men without saying anything.

David had fallen seriously ill right after returning from Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hence, now that
Triss was feeling unwell after attending the denunciation of Yael and Xander, Gwendolyn had no choice
but to personally send her home.

On the way back, Triss still looked troubled as though she was holding something back.

Nonetheless, Gwendolyn did not ask any questions.



Both remained silent until they reached David’s home. They were approaching the door when Triss
finally

grabbed Gwendolyn’s wrist, her palms sweating due to her nervousness.

“What’s the matter?” Gwendolyn asked in a concerned tone.

Triss” eyes were reddened, and her voice trembled uncontrollably as she asked, “My father… Was he
really involved in my aunt’s and uncle’s deaths?”

Gwendolyn dropped her gaze, thinking it was not a matter she should comment on.

Triss’ eyes dimmed when she saw Gwendolyn hesitate. “I’m aware that Cedrick arrested my father in
Livingsfill and brought him back to Federal Bureau of Investigation a few days ago. Cedrick even has
police officers stationed at the villa’s entrance to monitor my father, not allowing him to go out.”

As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes. “Does my father really have something to do with what
happened? Cedrick has punished Uncle Yael’s whole family. Is my family… going to be next?
Gwendolyn I’m scared.”

Gwendolyn took some tissues from her bag to wipe away her tears and comforted her gently. “Cedrick
wouldn’t do that. Yael and Xander harbored evil intentions and plotted against him no less than five
times. This time, they crossed the line. Your father is a kind man. Even if…”

She paused briefly, then decided to go ahead and say what she thought. “Even if Yael did deceive your
father back then, and your father did do something to harm Cedrick, he has helped Cedrick a lot over
the past few years. Cedrick wouldn’t be so cruel.”

Tapping the reddened tip of Triss’ nose, she continued, “Besides, I know you’ve always respected
Cedrick. You’re a beautiful person with an even more beautiful heart. Cedrick may be cruel, but he’s



only like that to outsiders, not his family. He’ll forever have gratitude to those who treat him well, and
he’ll ensure you’ll always be the happy and carefree princess of the Jenson family”

“Really?”

“Of course. When have I ever lied to you?”

After listening to Gwendolyn’s reassurances, Triss felt much more at ease. “Cedrick listens to you the
most, so I trust you.

“Go in and take good care of your father. He’s getting on in years, so there’s no need for him to do so
much. He should take it easy and enjoy his golden years. Leave it to Cedrick to take care of the Jenson
family’s affairs,” said Gwendolyn with a gentle pat on Triss head.

Triss nodded. “Got it. Don’t worry.

Having done her best to comfort Triss, Gwendolyn watched as the latter entered the courtyard. She
waited until Triss had left the garden before turning and heading back in the direction of the ancestral
hall.

Just as she was about to reach the hall, Clarence and Albert had also neared the end of their private

conversation with Cedrick and were allowed to leave. She glanced at them casually as they brushed
past. her on their way out, only to discover they looked agitated. It was as though they were choking
back their

anger.

Did they get a scolding from Cedrick?

“Gwenny



She was watching them walk away when Cedrick’s familiar voice interrupted her thoughts.

He had already walked up to her. Caressing her face with his warm hands, he asked softly, “Were you
frightened by what happened in the ancestral hall carlier?”

“It was a little cruel, but Yael deserved it. I’m not a young and inexperienced girl like Triss, so why
would I be frightened?” she replied with a shake of her head.

“Professionally, my wife is a capable woman who can stand alongside me after all. No, wait. You’re
someone even I’m a little afraid of,” he remarked, singing her praises.

Earlier in the ancestral hall, he had maintained a stone-cold expression. His icy and terrifying aura had
been enough to stir fear in anyone. In front of his wife, however, his gaze was so tender and gentle that
it seemed to ooze with honey. There was not even the faintest hint of hostility.

She glanced at him without bothering to respond to his brown-nosing comment. “What did you do to Mr.
Clarence and Mr. Albert? Why did they come out looking so dejected?”

“I merely used this meeting as a chance to eliminate those who used to be close to Yack.”

Taken aback, she gazed at him strangely. “But… those people are your relatives, your elders. Even if
they were rather close with Yael, I don’t think they did anything to harm—”

Here, Cedrick interrupted her and said, “Gwenny, I only punished them with a three-month deduction of
the dividends from the shares meant for their retirement. I also assigned their younger family members
to the counties to manage our subsidiaries, and they’re not allowed to leave their posts within the year
They used to be on Yael’s side. After my parents died, they probably also helped him plead with
Grandpa for mercy. Shouldn’t I punish them?”



Gwendolyn was stunned. She quickly realized he took a hard line with anything concerning his parents
deaths and would not change his mind. “You’re the head of the Jenson family, so you have full authority
to make decisions on family matters. It’s up to you how you want to deal with them.”

Her tone was calm, but Cedrick sensed she seemed a little upset. “Darling, are you angry at me? I
didn’t mean to treat you like an outsider. Of course, you have a say in the Jenson family’s affairs.”

“That never crossed my mind,” she answered with a nonchalant laugh. However, she could not help
thinking that Cedrick was too hung up about the accident back then, making her worry slightly about
what would happen to Triss and her family.

The matter with Yael is almost settled now. As for your Uncle David… What are you planning to deal
with him?”
