Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Gwendolyn Lost Her Earrings 

Looking at Cedrick’s back, Craig knitted his brows. He somehow sensed that something was wrong, so he did not immediately follow the former. 

Cedrick turned around after taking a few steps. “This is an order. Do you want to disobey your superior?” 

“No, I wouldn’t dare.” 

Instead of dwelling on it, Craig had no choice but to follow Cedrick to his office to have a meeting. 

At seven o’clock in the evening, Gwendolyn and Nico took four troops of soldiers with them to surround the entire Newton residence. 

It was terrifying to see a group of tall and burly soldiers besiege the inner courtyard wall of the villa. 

The butler, Karl Damon, was shocked upon seeing the situation. 

“W-What’s wrong?” 

Gwendolyn came forward and explained, “Sir, my crystal earrings disappeared during the tea party in the afternoon. I checked all the socialites who attended the tea party, and Jasmine is the only one left.” 

With a stern face, Nico showed his ID to Karl and said, “Please cooperate with the investigation by Federal Bureau of Investigation.” 

Karl was stupefied. 

Are they suspecting that Ms. Jasmine stole the crystal carrings? 

“T-This is impossible, Mrs. Jenson. Ms. Jasmine grew up with you, so you know her best. As the youngest daughter of the Newton family, she has been doted on by everyone in the family growing up and has everything in the world. It’s impossible that she would steal your stuff!” 

Yet, Gwendolyn refused to back down. “That may be the case in the past, but as you know, Jasmine is vindictive. I had a fight with her at the tea party today. We can’t rule out the possibility that she maliciously stole the crystal earrings to take revenge on me.” 

“How is that possible?” Karl panicked. “She was raised with strict discipline in the Newton family. It’s absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing.” 

Nico looked at his watch and decided not to continue the conversation. “We’ll only find out after a search. Please step aside.” 

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him quickly rushed into the villa. 

As it was an investigation done with a permit, the bodyguards at the Newton residence did not dare to stop them. In addition, Karl did not know what to do since Craig was not at home. 

A bodyguard, who was quietly hiding, called Craig on the phone. 

At the same time, Craig was being lectured while standing in Cedrick’s office. 

When his phone rang unexpectedly, Cedrick’s face turned cold instantly. “Did you not learn the rules? Don’t you know that your phone should be turned off or

“It’s my fault. I’m turning it off now.” 

Craig took out the phone from his pocket and glanced at the caller ID on the screen. 

It was a call from the bodyguard of the Newton residence. 

Frowning suspiciously, he looked at the time displayed on his phone and realized that Cedrick had been scolding him for an hour. 

At first, he thought that Cedrick was deliberately giving him a lesson and making him stand in a military. posture to establish the latter’s authority. 

However, the fact that the bodyguard at the Newton residence called him indicated that something urgent had happened at the Newton residence. 

Could it be that Cedrick is stalling for time? 

Knock Knock. 

When Craig was lost in his thoughts while staring at the phone screen, Cedrick tapped his knuckles on the table as a silent reminder to him. 

Coming back to his senses, Craig quickly put his phone on silent. 

Then, he looked up at Cedrick and said in an anxious tone, “Mr. Jenson, it seems that something happened to my family. Can you let me go back first?” 

Cedrick’s face was cold as he exuded an air of displeasure. 

He did not respond, but the expression on his face obviously meant rejection. 

The screen of the phone in Craig’s hand was still on. The last call got hung up as it was missed, but the phone rang again after a few seconds. 

Thinking about the top floor of the Newton residence, Craig grew restless and decided to disobey 

Cedrick’s orders. 

“Mr. Jenson, my sister, Jennifer, fell very ill some time ago. I hired someone to take care of her. I’m receiving these phone calls probably because something happened to her, so I have to go back to check on her. If you’re displeased and think that I’ve violated the rules by disobeying your orders, I’m willing to come back tomorrow to accept punishment.” 

With that, Craig turned around and swiftly opened the door to leave. 

“Craig!” Cedrick shouted, but Craig did not respond to him as he was determined to rush back to the Newton residence. 

Cedrick checked the time on his watch. 

Gwendolyn and Nico probably haven’t finished the investigation yet. 

With an icy expression, he quickly got up and left Federal Bureau of Investigation to head to the Newton 

residence. 

Meanwhile, the soldiers of four troops were pretending to conduct a search without destroying any furniture in the Newton residence. 

Gwendolyn Lost Her Earrings 

“Sir!” A soldier ran out from the villa and gave Nico a salute respectfully. 

“What is it?” asked Nico. 

“The top floor is locked. We can’t search it.” 

Nico immediately glanced at Karl, who panicked in an instant. “No! The top floor is where Mrs. Newton rests. Mrs. Newton is resting right now, so you can’t go up and disturb her! Besides, there’s absolutely no way the earrings are hidden on the top floor! The top floor is a restricted area set up by Mr. Craig. Even Ms. Jasmine can’t go up there, so she can’t possibly hide things up there. If Mr. Craig comes back and finds out that the top floor has been searched, he’ll definitely go mad! He’s the deputy director of Federal Bureau of Investigation. Aren’t you afraid that he will settle accounts with you after what you did in his house?” Karl said unyieldingly. 

Unsure of what to do, Nico quietly glanced sideways at Gwendolyn to observe her expression. 

Gwendolyn did not expect a butler to have such a tough stance, so she was at a loss for words. 

Afterward, another soldier trotted up to her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Mrs. Jenson, Ms. Jennifer Newton is really not in her room.”
