215 Chapter 215
By the time they arrived at Mountain View, everyone was already at home. Cedric was exhausted by the trip and all the work they had done. In the foyer he was greeted by Mia who seemed to have something to report.
"Let's discuss it in the office." Cedric said as he changed the direction he was walking towards.
Cedric settled on his seat as Mia closed the door behind her.
"Speak." Cedric ordered.
"Mrs. Reyes had a little conflict with Miss Margaret earlier." Mia told her boss.
"Was it about the incident from before?" Cedric was sure that Margaret still carried some pain from when they were thrown out from the Hernandez Family. He knew Margaret had not spoken since then.
"Yes, sir. But after getting mad Miss Margaret's attitude suddenly changed. She said she wanted to try making up with Mrs. Reyes." Mia said reporting the odd swing in Margaret's mood.
"Very well. I'll talk to Adri about it and maybe ask for Nicole or Eric's help on this." Cedric said as he took out his phone pondering which Chan sibling to bother.
Mia nodded and left the office. Cedric finally settled on consulting with Eric first on it. He gave the older man a call.
"Cedric, what's up?" Eric happily said over the phone.
"I hope I'm not bothering you." Cedric said in a tired tone.
"Nah, I'm just at a boring dinner Ram asked me to attend. Your call was the perfect excuse to get away from the business man's daughter that kept trying to touch me." Eric said with a laugh.
Cedric proceeded to tell Eric about his concerns when it came to Margaret, he knew that if anyone could understand or speak to her it would be Eric. The actor after all had a Phd in Psychology, a secret a lot of people were unaware of.
Eric advised Cedric on what to do and what to watchout for, but essentially Eric warned Cedric not to push Margaret. It seemed that the trauma Margaret had gone through was quite a lot.
After his chat with Eric, Cedric went up to bed. He slipped into bed and held Adrianna close to him.
"You're back quite late." Adrianna said as she felt Cedric's arm wrap around her. "The girls invited me to go to Kashmere after I've handed everything over to Uncle Matthew and Henry. It was supposed to be a shopping trip but Katerina has to meet with a high value client" Katerina, Miguel, and Veronica often used Kashmere as a meet up point for clients that wanted to avoid the public eye.
"It should be fine, Kashmere has the best facilities and if you have any health concerns Nicole will be there with you." Cedric said as he held his wife.
"I'm bringing Margaret along. We're trying to mend our relationship." Adrianna proceeded to tell Cedric about the events that happened over lunch. Of course Cedric already knew about all of these.
"I hope you and Margaret can fix your issues." Cedric said as he kissed his wife on the head.
Before Cedric realized the week blew by. He was in his car heading over to Constellations Resort to meet up with the five fathers of his bullies. Cedric had asked Ian and Camila to gather all the information they could get about the fathers. Of course Camilla and Ian had given it to him the day before giving him enough time to study them.
At Constellations, the fathers were led to Cedric's private room. They were surprised that the Reyes Heir wanted to speak to them. It was another surprise when they were told to meet him at Constellations Resort, the resort had no known connections to the Reyes group.
The elder men had been waiting for thirty minutes when a well dressed young man wearing a facemask and gold rimmed glasses entered the room. His aura exuded power, there was not doubt that this young man was the Reyes Heir.
"No need to stand." Cedric said as he let them remain seated. "I'll make this quick. I am doing this as a favor to my sister. It seems that your children are all quite close to her."
"Sir, I think you might be mistaken my son is older than Miss Reyes. I've never heard him mention her." The person who spoke was Artemio Juan, the father of Carlo Juan.
"Oh, it's not your sons that know my sister." Cedric said as he motioned for Camilla to give each man a folder. In it were details about their mistress and illegitimate child.
Cedric saw the shock on their faces. He nodded at Ian who gave them another folder, each containing photos of their sons' flamboyant ways.
"It's interesting how all of you have so many things in common." Cedric started. "You all took up mistresses who were rising stars at Light's Entertainment, had children with them, and those children happen to be more competent than your so called heirs."
The men looked at each other with shock. They had known each other for quite a while since their sons were friends, and having mistresses was quite normal for men of their social standing since their marriages were often for business or political reasons.
"My sister considers your children as her friends. I highly suggest that you do several things, first, give them more important roles in your companies, it's the only way those businesses will survive. While they work hard to please you and find a place in your companies your heirs are out there spending you money on cars and whores. None of them are faithful to their wives and they have most likely fathered multiple children with the women they have slept with. That will drain the family purses really quick, raising a child is not cheap." Cedric said, revealing his first condition as well as some information he had gathered on his bullies. It was true that they had all fathered at least three children outside their legal marriages and had been supporting those women and their children financially, sending them to the best schools.
"Second, I want you to publicly acknowledge them when I tell you to. Fail to do both of these and I will be forced to take your companies and hand it to them." Cedric said in a threatening tone. The men knew they were older and more experienced that the Reyes Heir, but something about him intimidated them. They knew that crossing the Reyes family was no joke, it could spell the end of their family if they offended anyone from the Reyes Clan.
The fathers quickly nodded and agreed to do as Cedric asked. Cedric dismissed them and told them that Ian, Camilla, or his other assistant, Ceric aka himself, would contact them with further instructions.
"Let's discuss it in the office." Cedric said as he changed the direction he was walking towards.
