The realization hit him like a sledgehammer. No wonder! 

The man had long stopped caring about the company. At first, he had thought that it was merely because he was tired of being pushed around like a puppet.

He froze when he remembered the most terrifying thing. 

When Cedric was in the hospital, that woman appeared at the hospital with Leo in tow. She had pinned a bomb onto Leo and used his life to torment him and Helen.
