Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 783

Tanya, no longer daring to conceal the truth, nodded hastily. “Yes, he wanted me to gain your trust and then find an opportunity to lure the children out.”

Cedrick’s expression grew even more solemn, his lips tightly pursed, and his gaze chilling. Joe really hates me to the core. Since he can’t take me down, he resorted to targeting my wife and children. After years of training together, how could he become such a vicious and heartless person?

Cedrick could not understand why. Is it worth dedicating his entire life to seeking revenge for a manipulative and scheming woman who has been dead for years?

After losing in thought for a moment, he came to his senses. Glaring at Tanya, he asked, “Apart from this, is there anything else you want to confess? This might be your last chance, so think carefully before you speak.”

Tanya racked her brain, fearing that Cedrick might get Swain to torture her even further. “That’s all, Mr. Jenson. I told you everything I know.”

“All right. I’ll honor my promise and spare you,” Cedrick replied.

Tanya was struck dumb for a moment. “No, Mr. Jenson. That’s not what I meant. I know I’ve gone against the law, and I accept the consequences. Please send me to prison and have me locked up! I beg you!”

Cedrick snorted, arching his brows. “You don’t tell me what to do.”

Tanya burst into tears, her face filled with terror. Despite the excruciating pain coursing through her body, she crawled on her knees toward Cedrick, desperately trying to clutch onto his trousers. “Mr. Jenson, please! I can’t go out there. That man will kill me!”

Upon noticing her behavior, Swain immediately stepped forward to block her path, preventing her from touching Cedrick’s clothes.

In the past few days, Cedrick had grown increasingly disgusted by her touch, forcing him to discard numerous outfits that he had worn. It was really a waste.

Cedrick kept his gaze low, his expression indifferent, as he focused on his wristwatch, which was a gift from his wife, and stroked the intricate patterns on the watch strap.

“Before releasing her, take her to a plastic surgery hospital. Make sure the doctors reconstruct her face to match her previous identity as stated on her ID card. Charge the expenses to her mother’s bank account,” he instructed Swain in a cold tone. Even if she’s going to meet her end, I can’t allow her to die with Gwenny’s appearance.

“Understood, Boss,” Swain replied.

The cops then dragged Tanya away.

The room was filled with her piercing screams, roars, and desperate wails, making the confinement chamber unbearable for Cedrick.

Noticing the annoyance on Cedrick’s face, Swain quickly signaled the cops to cover Tanya’s mouth, silencing her voice.

Swain understood why Cedrick had chosen to release Tanya. Once Joe learned that Tanya had betrayed him, he would not spare her. Cedrick intended to use that opportunity to force Joe to take action. The more actions he takes, the more likely he is to expose his vulnerabilities.

Swain assured Cedrick. “Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll assign skilled operatives to quietly monitor Tanya. If anyone poses a threat to her, I’ll update you immediately.”

Weary and drained, Cedrick closed his eyes, letting out a calm and subdued hum in response.

Observing his boss’s solemn demeanor, Swain pressed on. “Boss, considering Mrs. Jenson’s escape and the fact that she wasn’t kidnapped by Joe and his men, it’s probable that she is unharmed and not in life-threatening danger. You can ease up for a bit.”

Cedrick remained silent, his eyes tightly shut, and his brow slightly furrowed.

In his mind, he was trying to piece all the information together.

He knew Joe could be extremely twisted and capable of doing anything, but at the same time, he was also a meticulous person who would always execute his plans flawlessly.

However, this time, there was something unusual about Joe’s actions. Cedrick could not just ignore the numerous flaws in his plan.

Joe intentionally left a fake hostage and even allowed one of his underlings to deliver the false information to him. Joe should have known that the impostor’s identity would eventually be exposed, yet he still went through with it. What’s his actual intention?
