Chapter 699

As Cedric recounted his plan to Ram on the phone, he was surprised at how silent Ram had remained throughout the call, it was quite odd for the man. 

"Ram? Are you still there?" Cedric asked as he waited for Ram to answer him.

"Yeah, I'm here. Sorry about that." Ram said in a distracted tone. "I heard Louisse was bad news but nothing to this extent." 

"I was shocked too." Cedric admitted to his friend. "I didn't think someone could be. . ." Cedric's voice trailed off as he thought of a proper term to describe Louisse.

"This vile?" Ram asked over the phone.

"Yes." Cedric replied with a nod as he glanced to check on the situation on stage. 

It seemed that everyone was quite focused on the show and his absence was not noticed. 

"Cedric." Ram said with a sigh over the phone. "We both know you have dealt with worse."
