Never Judge Chapter 428

Cedric frowned at Dave's news. In the past year the frequency of visits his father and the woman had paid to the house had waned, at first there wasn't a change, but eventually Cedric and his people realized that frome every week the visits had gone down to once a month. After a while there had been no activity at all. Cedric suspected that it was because his mom was at home all the time now since handing over Clarin industries to him and his sister.
"How long has it been since the last visit?" Cedric asked as he sighed. He had hoped that after their retirement his parents would rekindle their love and his dad would drop the mistress.
"It's been six months, sir." Dave said as he walked over to show Cedric images of the woman arriving at the house. She was always careful, her face was fully covered and she always wore loose and baggy clothing, Cedric couldn't even tell what her body type was, there was so little that they could use to investigate who she actually was.
"My dad? Did he go there?" Cedric asked. His dad had told him earlier that day that he was going to go out to play golf with his friends the whole day at Nationalia. He knew that it was unlikely for his father to convince all of his friends to cover for his infidelity. On top of that many businessmen would be waiting at Nationalia to curry good favor with him, even if he had retired he was still the new CEO's father, and Cedric rarely appeared in public, so there was little to no opportunity for them to get close to him. Emilio Reyes III's absence would be noted by everyone and it would surely cause gossip, he never missed golfing at Nationalia with his friends.

"No sir. At least not yet." Dave said as he placed the tablet on Cedric's desk.
"Keep an eye on the house. Do we have any idea who that woman could be?" Cedric asked as he picked up the tablet containing the image and zoomed in on the woman on the screen.
"No sir. We've run all the images through the most sophisticated software and still nothing." Dave said with a frown, Cedric had given Ian and Camilla that task at first, but there was nothing they could find. Later on they passed it on to Dave and Mae as they moved to their new positions.
After a long silence, Cedric suddenly sat up and looked at Dave, he had just gotten an idea, something he should have thought of days ago.
"Get Adolfo in here now." Cedric said in an urgent tone. Adolfo was a genius with these things, why didn't he think of asking Adolfo when he first arrived at the CEO's floor, then again Cedric had also thought that this matter had died months ago and he was even willing to let his father keep his dark secret.
Dave simply nodded and left to call Adolfo Luna. Luckily he had been moved to the CEO's floor, so it only took about five minutes to call him over.
"Dave said you needed me boss?" Adolfo asked as he casually strolled into the office with Dave in tow.
"Uncle Adolfo!" Emilio, who was on Cedric's lap, happily cried out as he saw Adolfo enter.
"Hello little one." Adolfo greeted with a smile.
"Yoyo, go over and play with uncle Dave while I have a word with your uncle Adolfo." Cedric said as he gently placed the boy back down on the ground.

Emilio nodded and walked over to Dave and held his hand. Dave smiled at the little boy and walked out with him.
When he heard the door close firmly behind Cedric spoke.
"Any chance you have a program that can detect a person's identity even if he or she is clothed with little to no leads to how they look or how their stature is?" Cedric asked.
"What?" Adolfo asked as he blinked in confusion.
"Here." Cedric said, handing over the photos of the woman to Adolfo. "I need to know who this person is." Cedric said.
"Sorry Cedric, but I can't." Adolfo said. "My biggest hurdle will be that I need a database of every individual's features so that my tech can recognize them. Secondly, this woman is so well covered that there is no way for me to detect her real identity."
"How did you do it for the cameras?" Cedric asked as he remembered the cameras that Adolfo had sold to Miguel.
"Those cameras were developed for the government, they already have a database, and at the same time goes on it collects more and more data, updating itself." Adolfor explained. "Plus it has its own limitations, it wouldn't be able to detect the identity of a person this covered up."
Cedric sighed in defeat as he realized that there was nothing Adolfo could do to help with his problem.
"Cedric, if there was anything I could do to help you with this I would have told you." Adolfo said as he saw the visible disappointment from Cedric's expression.
"I know you aren't god." Cedric said, shaking his head. Even the best in their fields had their own limitations, Adolfo couldn't magically find this woman's identity and Miguel couldn't possibly save a man that was barely there, like with what happened to Jam.
Cedric frowned at the memory of the man. It had been over a year and he still couldn't find the real mastermind behind Jam's death, he had gotten frustrated many times, but still kept pushing his men and his friends to find the people behind MT Summit.
"Cedric, I might not be able to help with this, but I can help with other things." Adolfo said quite confidently.
"What are you talking about?" Cedric asked, confused by Adolfo's words.
"I finished reconstructing the videos from Natalia sooner than I expected." Adolfo explained. "I've gone through them and I think you need to call Natalia and her family over."
"Adolfo, I can't just summon the president to my office." Cedric said with a frown. "But I can, however, call her and her siblings to come." Cedric said with a nod.
"You might also want to invite anyone who was involved in this incident." Adolfo told Cedric. "What I saw was quite interesting."
"I'll have them come over this afternoon." Cedric said with a nod.
