Cedric was shocked at the news, shocked and relieved. Despite his insistence in sacrificing his own name and image, he did not deny that he was hoping for a less suicidal route.
He wasn't stupid, he knew just how damaging the effects of him being involved in Aiden's death would be. He knew that it could not only put his company in danger, but his whole family as well.
Without a doubt, if they weren't able to shift opinions, he would need to step down as CEO and hand it over to Ayanna. Cedric knew that being the CEO was the last thing Ayanna wanted, his sister wanted to be successful but not to the point of having to take his place.
"That's amazing news." Cedric told Camilla over the phone. "What managed to convince him?" Cedric asked.
"I'm guessing that it's more of a need from his end." Benedict said as he joined in on the conversation. "He knows that the Chan siblings don't like him, so he needs to have as many allies on his side."
