Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 781


Cedrick paid no heed to her words. With an icy look in his eyes, he demanded, “Where’s Gwendolyn?”

His words stunned the woman and caused her expression to grow increasingly awkward.

“Hubby, what are you talking about? I’m Gwendolyn, your wife.”

Cedrick got to his feet and stormed forward. Looking down at her, he repeated patiently, “I’m asking you where Gwendolyn is?”

As the woman continued to feign ignorance, she lowered her eyes in an attempt to avoid his gaze.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re behaving strangely. I’m leaving this place.”

Just as she attempted to get up, Cedrick grabbed her by the neck and pinned her back down.

In close proximity, the murderous intent in his bloodshot eyes was unmistakable. They looked more terrifying than the torture equipment fastened against the wall.

“I’m a patient man. If I don’t get the answer that I’m looking for, you’ll suffer a fate worse than death.”

Cedrick would show no mercy to such a despicable woman.

Suffocating from the overwhelming pressure he exuded, the woman struggled desperately to pry open his grip over her neck. Unfortunately, it was nothing but a futile effort.

“W-When did you see through the charade?” As the woman eked out the words, her neck was hurting so badly that tears had begun to flow.

As the way she grimaced looked exactly like Gwendolyn, Cedrick released his grip subconsciously, allowing her to collapse onto the ground.

Turning around with his hands behind his back to avoid looking at her face—which unsettled him—he replied, “My suspicions started the day I rescued you from Quawak.”

The answer shocked the woman. “How? I look exactly like her. Our voices might be a little different, but I pretended to have lost my voice the entire time.”

For the sake of her mission, she had learned Gwendolyn’s poise and facial expressions. Even the most minute of details didn’t escape her notice. Yet, she was exposed on the very first day Cedrick saw her.

Averting his gaze from her, Cedrick replied calmly, “She has been wearing a ring on her left ring finger for the last five years, as it couldn’t be removed. Even if one were to forcefully cut it off, there would still be a residual mark left on her finger.

Jolted by the explanation, the woman stroked her left hand.

“In order to verify your identity, I used Benny’s and Zendy’s hair to run a DNA test with yours. I did it in ten different military hospitals to prevent any interference with the process. In the end, the results were all consistent with each other.”

While speaking, Cedrick walked to the desk in the corner to retrieve the DNA test report and threw it at the woman. “Take a look yourself.”

As the white piece of document fell onto the ground, the woman knew what the conclusion was without even looking.

“You were the one in the backseat of Gwenny’s car when the accident at Orchidbay Tunnel occurred, weren’t you?”

“You were the one in the backseat of Gwenny’s car when the accident at Orchidbay Tunnel occurred, weren’t you?”

Surprised that Cedrick had managed to guess even that, the woman caught her breath.

“You had gotten close to Gwenny on purpose, while Joe was responsible for the accident in the tunnel. His goal was to capture Gwenny. In order to avoid colliding with the lorry, Gwenny swerved her car into the valley and is now nowhere to be found. In the meantime, Joe had you take her place, so what is your true goal?”

Cedrick subsequently turned around and bent forward to grab the woman by her chin. Thereafter, he examined her face closely.

“It’s clear from the impeccable plastic surgery that you’ve put a lot of effort into this, so I’m sure you know his plans very well. If you cooperate with me, I’ll consider letting you go.”

However, a snigger was immediately heard from the woman. She laughed so hard that tears started to come out.

Even if Cedrick was willing to release her, her boss would never grant her the same mercy.

“Mr. Jenson, I’m not sure if the Joe you mentioned is the same person who put me up to this, but I really know nothing about him, as I’m only in this for the money. I simply do what he tells me to.”
