Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528 Quick And Gentle

Paul dived straight into the collaboration project with Dovil Group without wasting any time. His gaze was sharp, with a tinge of hostility.

Gwendolyn scoffed lightly. Just as she was about to mock the man, a familiar deep voice sounded beside her.

“How dare you try to take my wife's project? Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself, Paul?”

Gwendolyn instantly turned in the direction of the voice.

Cedrick strode to her side, holding exquisite-looking shopping bags and looking cold.

A gratified smile rested on Gwendolyn's lips when he wrapped an arm around her waist. As it was a conversation between two men, she decided to let Cedrick speak on her behalf.

“Mr. Jenson, your relationship with Neal is the sole reason Harris Group got to collaborate on Dovil Group's project. Don't you think pulling strings is an unfair approach for companies like us who took the time to come up with business proposals?”

The question only elicited an icy, irritated glare from Cedrick. “Bring it to Neal if you have any objections regarding the outcome of the open tender. Why are you talking to my wife instead?”

Does he think our families—or should I say Chanaea's richest families—are pushovers?

Paul chuckled as if to lighten the atmosphere. “I'm just discussing it with Ms. Harris. Why are you so mad, Mr. Jenson?”

“My wife's business capability is top-notch. If not for her age which prevented her from joining the industry a few years earlier, she would've been the most influential person in Chanaea's business world. Even I'd have been defeated. I won't allow anyone to look down on her abilities. If you don't believe in the open tender, you can argue with Neal yourself. That way, you'll accept your defeat without excuses and even earn yourself a round of humiliation.”

As soon as Cedrick finished mocking Paul, he marched off with his arm still wrapped around Gwendolyn's slender waist.

Before leaving, Gwendolyn cast Annie one final glance.

When the two disappeared from Paul's sight, he pulled Annie into his arms to have another intimate moment.

“Honey, Cedrick isn't someone to be trifled with. He has worked with many big shots from all over the world and has a wide network because of his identity in the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Why don't we just forget about this matter with the open tender?”

Annie pouted and knitted her brows, pushing him away to reject his intimate gestures.

“You don't know how Ms. Harris ridiculed me just now. She compared me with the Harris family's dead daughter and mocked me for overestimating myself.”

Paul was stunned to hear that. “You're the count's girlfriend. How dare she treat you like that?”

Annie sniffed as teardrops trickled down her innocent face.

It broke Paul's heart. Carefully wiping her tears with his big, old, wrinkly hands, he said, “Oh, Honey, don't cry. You'll only make me sadder.”

Annie snuggled into his embrace and sobbed, “Honey, you've got to help me with this. She didn't just take away my place in the open tender, but she also blatantly insulted me. She clearly doesn't have any respect for you.”

Paul patted the woman's back and comforted her, “All right, I'll definitely take revenge for you. I'll avenge you before they return to Chanaea tomorrow.”

She nodded contentedly and nuzzled against his broad chest like a playful kitten.

As if remembering something important, she warned, “By the way, that woman knows jiu-jitsu and is quite good at it. You've got to be careful.”

Paul pecked her forehead before promising, “Okay, I will.”

From afar, the two figures looked like a father and a daughter instead of a couple.

Gwendolyn was drained by the time she returned to the hotel presidential suite. After all, she had been shopping and enjoying herself the entire day.

As soon she stepped into the room, she lay sprawled on the bed lazily to get some rest.

Cedrick could not help but smile affectionately as he took in the sight of her lying on the bed like a lazy kitten. He then sorted out the things in the shopping bags.
