The moment Cedric reffered at her shoes, her soul left her body and entered into the world of transmigration possibly. Her eyes dropped on her feet blankly. Her world stopped around her and she could hear her own heartbeat racing wildly. She didn't know what could be the consequences but letting Cedric know that she had met Shanz, she had invited enough trouble for herself.
Before leaving the resthouse, she was in hurry to leave Shanz's side in case their old feelings began to grow up. Out of her clumsiness, she didn't even notice whose shoes those were. They were placed near the bed side and she just wore them out to fly away as soon as possible.
Jessie appeared a bit nervous on surface. Playing cool on expression, she replied turning back to leave the stairs,
" Those.. those are my friend's. I want to sleep."
" How unfortunate!", came the taunting reply from Cedric whose eyes turned dark in no moment.
His response stopped her in her track abruptly. Jessie frowned looking back at him questioningly. She found him smiling like the demon he was and was approaching her slowly. She gulped but didn't dare to move from her place.
Cedric eyed down at her shoes one more time and added with a tone of sarcasm,
" My fashion sense aren't so bad!"
Jessie clenched her teeth together. Turning around to face him boldly, she retorted raising her voice to hide her own guilt,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" What do you mean? I am lying to you?"
Cedric blinked his eyes innocently. Crossing his arms behind his back, he replied twitching his lips slowly,
" I thought, we were talking about our fashion sense, Princess Jessie."
Then his eyes dropped back on her feet in where Shanz's pair of expensive shoes were glowing. Cedric's lips twitched in disgust and he added cutting off every argument that they had between them,
" Made with pure wolf leather with the tagname Z. Zion Williamson, the infamous fashion designer for Davina's Royal Family. Do you want to know more about the shoe, dear little sister?"
This time, Jessie stopped breathing heavily. Frenchies was also shocked by Cedric's words and stared at Jessie disbelievingly. The attack on Isabella didn't happen for a long time but Jessie had already began to visit Shanz?
Jessie parted her lips to say something but nothing came out. After all, Cedric was stating the truth with the solid proofs and evidences. How could she deny him now?
Her awkwardness only clarified the truth to Cedric. His fists clenched on both sides but he maintained a devilish smile on his face which was nowhere close to genuine. He knew very well that if he was somehow wrong in judging her, Jessie would have already yelled back at him with great energy. But she was in absolute silence as if she was trying to figure out a suitable answer for him.
Cedric began to shake his head dramatically. Resting one of his elbow on the stair's railing, he pitied her teasingly,
" Oh sister! How many times I have warned you that there is no benefit in dating a scumbag."
Jessie refused to reveal the truth to Cedric. She better knew that if Cedric knew about how she was kidnapped over there, Shanz will face severe consequence. She snorted at him arrogantly,
" My personal life is none of your business, Cedric."
Despite her anger, Cedric didn't stop smiling. Staring at her angered face lazily, he responded with an arrogant smirk,
" You should be glad that I haven't beheaded him yet, sisso all because I am trying to catch the big fish. I am very much sure that sister Isabella won't appreciate this."
Jessie held back her breathing hardly. She was aware of the fact that Isabella would never let her get close to Shanz. She blurted frowning hard at Cedric who was playing with his words,
" What do you want? Just say!!"
Cedric's expression turned goofy in a moment. His arrogant smirk was gone and replaced with the layer of dark clouds. His voice rang out stern and coldly,
" Stay away from Shanz! Don't play with fire Jessie until you have the wish to burn yourself down like before. I believe that your last heartbreak didn't fade away from your mind."
Jessie growled at him frustratingly,
" Cedric!!!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe didn't want to remember what had happened between them in the past. But her siblings were always so ready to open her wound. Cedric replied with a smile,
" You know, I hate to make sister Isabella upset."
Jessie sucked a short breath painfully. She didn't want to become the another reason for her sister's pain but everyone forgot that fate has its own play always. Jessie breathed out few words shortly,
" I would like to return to my room now."
She whipped back and didn't wish to stay there with Cedric for a moment. Once she took few steps forward, Cedric's voice echoed from her back again,
" Jessie, If I can execute Vincent, I can execute Shanz too."
Frenchies sighed at her retreating back pitifully. These siblings had never seen a peaceful relationship. The path that Cedric chose, Ayra would end up hurting more. Frenchies thought inwardly and spoke without holding back,
" You didn't need to behave so rudely with Princess Jessie, My Lord. Love is blind.. besides..We don't know the truth of Prince Shanz."
Cedric turned back to look at him confusingly. Frenchies continued lowering his voice down a little,
" That's right. His old butler has dissapared all of sudden without any trace. I heard that he served their family for years. Besides he hasn't dated anyone ever since they broke up but cough..He has bedded many women in these years. I assume that Princess Jessie is already aware of the truth."
Cedric chuckled with a dark chuckle. Stealing a look of upstairs in where Jessie's door had just slammed shut banging loudly, he commented seriously,
" Looks like I have to prepare early execution of Prince Shanz."
