Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 399

“All right, I understand,” Cedrick replied calmly. This was inevitable, but if Gwenny finds out, she will definitely be upset for a while…

With that in mind, he immediately instructed Nico, “Call Summer and ask her to accompany Gwenny for the prenatal check-up. Don’t tell Gwenny anything else.”

“Yes,” Nico responded promptly as he took out his phone to message Summer.

Within two minutes, Summer arrived from the garage.

She was Nico’s little sidekick. These past few days, while Nico was busy with various investigations, Summer had been insisting on tagging along, patiently waiting in the car until he finished his tasks.

As soon as Summer arrived, Cedrick’s expression turned solemn. He instructed her, “If Gwenny asks about my whereabouts later, tell her that I have to attend to an urgent matter at Jenson Group.”

“All right,” Summer replied.

With the arrangements made, Cedrick immediately left with Nico.

They returned to the Jenson residence in no time.

Throughout the journey, Cedrick remained deep in thought, pondering over something silently.

When they reached the entrance of the ancestral hall, he once again instructed Nico, “After we come out of the ancestral hall, don’t send me back to Harrick Villa. Go to your villa and apply some medicine first.”

Medicine?

Nico’s heart trembled at the words.

So, Cedrick had expected this. Once he enters the ancestral hall today, there will be no turning back, right?

As Nico stood in a daze, Cedrick had already entered the ancestral hall.

The former gazed at the unwelcoming entrance and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of dread. It was an eerie place.

Feeling apprehensive about Cedrick’s safety, he quietly sent a message to Summer before cautiously stepping inside.

Meanwhile, Summer, who was waiting in the hospital waiting room, immediately barged into the examination room when she received the message.

“Gwendolyn! Something’s happened! Mr. Jenson has been summoned to the ancestral hall by Old Mr. Jenson!”

The ancestral hall was filled with people, all eagerly awaiting Cedrick’s arrival.

Apart from Xander, David, and Yael’s family, a few esteemed elders of the Jenson family were also present.

Everyone rose to their feet and called out as soon as they saw Cedrick enter, “Mr. Cedrick!”

He nodded slightly and confidently strode toward the center of the ancestral hall, accompanied by Nico. Next, he respectfully greeted Valentino, “Hello, Grandpa.”

However, Valentino merely let out a disdainful snort and tapped his cane on the ground.

Cedrick remained standing as he was aware that he would be interrogated. His posture was unwavering as Nico stood beside him.

Xander said in a sarcastic tone, “Dear cousin, I heard that you transferred all your shares in Jenson Group to your fiancée. It made headlines this morning. Is that true?”

“Yes.” Cedrick lowered his head slightly, neither concealing nor offering an explanation.

“Grandpa, did you hear that? He admitted it himself! Those are Jenson Group’s shares! There are folks out there who can’t even get one percent of the fractional shares even if they do have the money. Yet, he casually gave them away just to please a woman!”

Xander’s anger grew with each word. “He’s letting you down, Grandpa! As the head of the Jenson family, he’s supposed to be a role model, but look at what he’s done! It’s downright outrageous! I don’t think we should let him off the hook that easily!”

Valentino’s face contorted with anger as he shot Cedrick a fierce glare.

“Cedrick, I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself. Why did you do this?”

A subtle smile played on Cedrick’s lips, his noble and handsome countenance unwavering. There was a touch of defiance in his voice as he retorted, “Xander is right. I handed all the shares to Gwenny to keep her happy.”

The ancestral hall echoed with a mix of disappointed and exasperated sighs.

Nico stood quietly at the back, his palms sweating from nervousness.
