Alas, his thoughts were interrupted when a bleary–eyed Gwendolyn gently tugged at the hem of his shirt. “What’s on your mind, Ceddy?” 

“Oh, it’s nothing,” the man calmly replied as he turned around and held her hand. “I was just thinking about something delicious to cook for you.” 

“I taught you well in Fairlake, so I’m confident in your culinary skills. I’ll enjoy eating whatever you cook for me,” Gwendolyn mumbled as she curled her lips into a half smile. “That reminds me… The employment contract we signed back then has yet to expire.” 

Cedrick instantly stiffened. D*mn… Why did she have to bring up my dark past? I was forced to sign that contract, for goodness‘ sake. 

The next second, he lifted the blanket and pinned Gwendolyn down. “Why? How long more do you want to enslave me, Gwenny?” 

The latter slowly opened her eyes and chuckled. “I won’t. The name on that contract was Maverick Wright. It has nothing to do with you.” 

Besides, I’ve changed a lot since. I can’t bear to bully Cedrick now. My only wish is to get his condition cured as soon as possible so we can live happily ever after. 

“Go back to sleep. I’ll wake you once the food’s ready,” Cedrick said contentedly before kissing Gwendolyn’s forehead and leaving for the kitchen to prepare the meal. 

Just like that, two days went by peacefully. 

On the third day, however, everything changed. 

Gwendolyn was working in her office in the afternoon when she received yet another unknown call, this time from overseas. 

Upon realizing it was Charles‘ number, she frowned and picked up the phone, albeit with great reluctance. Argh! There goes my good mood! 

“What is it?” she snapped. 

Charles merely chuckled on the other end. “It’s been several days since we last met, Gwen. Do you miss me?” 

“I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else.” 

“Please don’t. I was only asking. Have you thought about the two terms I offered?” 

-After a brief silence, Gwendolyn spoke up. “Not yet. I need more time to think about it.” 

“More time?” Charles retorted, clearly losing his patience. “Don’t you dare treat me like a fool, Gwen! I’m not to be messed with!” 

“You should know there will be a massive blowback once I call off my engagement with Cedrick. As such, I have to ensure everything’s in place for us to deal with the aftermath and minimize the losses to Harris Group.”

“Fine. I don’t care if you’re brushing me off or stalling for time. You’ll come to me sooner or later!” he replied, deliberately lowering his tone. 

Needless to say, Gwendolyn was beyond annoyed. Oh, there’s no way I’d let Charles off the hook… I’ll unleash hell on him once Cedrick’s cured! I want him to suffer a thousand times more than Cedrick! 

However, just as she was about to hang up the phone, she suddenly recalled that Charles had called from abroad. 

“Are you overseas, Charles?” 

“Yes. That lackey of yours keeps trying to catch me. Do you know how long my recovery took when he almost beat me to death the last time? That’s why I decided to go on a short trip. I need to be in best shape to marry you,” the man answered with apparent nonchalance.

“If he’s a lackey, wouldn’t that make you scum of the earth?” Gwendolyn said through gritted teeth. “I can’t believe this is the decorum you’re left with after being in the high–security prison for six months, Charles.” 

“Okay, okay. I meant Mr. Jenson. I was wrong. Please don’t be mad, Gwen.” 

With that, Gwendolyn recomposed herself and continued to probe. “Where are you, anyway? Erihal?” 

Upon hearing that, Charles visibly cheered up. “Oh, I’m so happy that you care about me! However, my location is a secret. I shall wait for you to give me the right answer!” 

Gwendolyn promptly ended the call. Since the man refused to tell her what she wanted to know, there was no point in continuing the conversation. 

The next second, she summoned Elven into the office. 

“Have you found out anything about Charles mother?” 

Elven shook his head. “Shadow Bell has yet to revert to me. After all, it’s hard to track down the information when it’s overseas. That said, I think Charles‘ mother is no small fry. Otherwise, why would she need to hide and remain so secretive?” 

For a moment, Gwendolyn fell silent in contemplation. “Hmm… I guess I’ll have to find the time to ask the Newton family.” 

Joshua had previously mentioned that the blue serum isn’t a local product. In that case, Icould start by locating Charles‘ mother and then attempt to find the antidote to the $404 RNA virus myself! 

“Would Mr. Craig reveal anything, though? He must be rather formidable if he managed to stand out from his brothers and rise to power. Wouldn’t it be tricky to deal with him?” 

Alas, Gwendolyn didn’t respond to that, 

“Oh, come on. Craig isn’t the only person in the Newton family, is he? Help me ask Jasmine and Triss out. Tell them I’d like to catch up with them over dinner tonight. It’d be my treat.” 

“Got it, Ms. Gwendolyn.” 

As soon as Elven left the room, Gwendolyn texted Cedrick to inform him that she wouldn’t be home for dinner. 

After working a few more hours till it was time to knock off, she finally packed up and set off for her

Since Jasmine and Triss had gotten used to eating at five–star hotels, Gwendolyn brought them to a barbecue restaurant in the commercial district for a change.

Enthusiastic as ever, the two women began chatting excitedly the second they entered the private room. 

“I thought you had forgotten about your old friends when you got together with Mr. Jenson, Gwendolyn. What’s the occasion for this treat?” Jasmine said smilingly. 

Gwendolyn merely smiled and said nothing.
