Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 235

After all, the wound on his chest was the best proof.

Seeing that Cedrick was about to expose the love bites on his chest and collarbones to the members of the Jenson family, Gwendolyn panicked and grabbed his shirt, preventing him from taking it off.

“Don’t take off your clothes! Have you no shame? There are so many people around!” Gwendolyn uttered. Why is this jerk so shameless? I’ll definitely teach him a lesson once he recovers!

In response, Cedrick pursed his lips and smiled. “I’m a man. Exposing my chest isn’t a big deal.”

“Yes, it is!” Gwendolyn glared at him and warned in a whisper, “From now on, I’m the only one who’s allowed to look at your body. Put your clothes back on!”

Cedrick was happy to hear her staking her claim to him.

Following that, he buttoned his shirt and shot Nico a look.

Nico then brought a tied-up young man into the ancestral hall and threw him into the open space in the middle of the ancestral hall. After that, Nico passed a printed document to Logan and let Logan bring it to Valentino.

“This is the man who was spreading the fake news when Mr. Cedrick was on a mission. When I apprehended him last night, he was about to flee after receiving a payment from Mr. Xander. His statement is attached in the document,” Nico reported.

Valentino perused the statement carefully and shot Yael a stern look afterward.

Yael was dumbfounded. Xander told me he had that man killed in the suburbs last night! How did the man end up getting caught by Nico?

Valentino then handed the statement to Yael.

Yael read the document three times over to confirm its authenticity. Xander’s subordinates made a blunder! Cedrick has dirt on us now!

“Mr. Xander nearly got Mr. Cedrick, the head of the Jenson family, killed. Shouldn’t he get punished according to the Jenson family’s rules?” Nico continued.

Everyone at the scene quickly turned toward Valentino and waited for him to make a decision.

Valentino stroked his beard under everyone’s gaze before letting Logan help him to his feet. “Cedrick, you’re now the head of the Jenson family. The decision is yours. I’m going back to my room to rest.”

Cedrick nodded slightly. “Take care, Grandpa.”

“Dad! Don’t leave!” Yael yelled. If Dad leaves, no one’s going to help me! I’m in hot water now. This is the first time Xander does something independently, and he screwed everything up!

Alas, Valentino ignored Yael and left the ancestral hall without looking back.

After Valentino left, the rest of the members of the Jenson family followed suit.

All of a sudden, only Gwendolyn, Cedrick, Yael, and Nico were left in the spacious ancestral hall.

The young man that Nico had apprehended had also been taken away.

Now that they were alone, Yael no longer had to care about his dignity. As such, he humbled himself and smiled ingratiatingly. “Cedrick, I doubt Xander knew things would turn out this way. Perhaps it’s not necessary to deem he had the intention to harm you. Furthermore, he’s also injured heavily and unconscious. Shall we just call it even and move on?”

“No can do, Mr. Yael. It was my idea to teach Xander a lesson, so you’re more than welcome to argue with me regarding that. Meanwhile, Xander harming Ceddy is another matter altogether. As you can see, these are two different matters,” Gwendolyn answered instead.

Yael glared at her and turned back toward Cedrick. “What do you say, Cedrick?”

Cedrick carried Gwendolyn onto his lap and caressed her cheek lovingly. The coupled acted all lovey-dovey with each other right before Yael as Cedrick said, “Gwenny’s right. Those are two different matters.”

With that, he turned to look at Yael coldly. “I heard that Xander is still unconscious now. Is that true? Is he hurt badly?”

“Yes! I’ll give him an earful when he wakes up. I’ll surely tell him to behave himself in the future!” Yael promised, smiling.

Cedrick ignored him and looked at Nico. “I want you to invite Xander here personally. Bring him here, even if you have to carry him.”

Yael’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately gave the bodyguards outside the door a look.

Twenty minutes later, Nico dragged Xander into the ancestral hall.

“Boss, Mr. Yael’s bodyguards were trying to sneak Mr. Xander out of his villa just now, but I stopped them,” Nico reported.
