Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 806

Since then, Joe had completely severed ties with Cedrick, harboring nothing but deep resentment toward the latter. Even when it was proven that Eryn was not killed by Cedrick, Joe refused to believe it. He thought that the Jenson family’s influence was so great that they could easily manipulate such information. All Joe could think of was how to exact his revenge on Cedrick.

If it weren’t for Joe’s overly reckless actions, Cedrick had no intention of revealing the truth about that matter. Whether Joe hated him or not, he didn’t care at all.

But now, Joe was targeting Cedrick’s wife and child, which the latter absolutely could not tolerate.

After hearing Cedrick’s statement, Joe was stunned. “Could it be that I’ve been loving the wrong person all these years? Have I been hating the wrong friend? The person I loved has such a disgraceful identity? All this revenge I’ve been seeking is wrong? No!

“I don’t believe it!” All of this must be Cedrick’s lies! It has to be!

Joe took a few steps back, his eyes bloodshot, his voice trembling slightly. “Cedrick, you’re lying! Eryn is such a lively and cheerful girl. She could never be the drug dealer you’re talking about! Do you really think I would believe your nonsense?”

He was reluctant to accept the truth, let alone believe in it. He didn’t want to think that everything he had done over the years was all his fault. Yes. All of this is Cedrick’s trickery. He’s doing this solely to blame me, attributing all the mistakes to me.

Suddenly, Joe burst into wild laughter, falling to his knees in front of Eryn’s grave. His eyes lovingly fixed on the photo on the tombstone, murmuring, “Eryn, rest assured. I will make sure the person who killed you pays the price. I won’t let your life be lost in vain.”

After he finished speaking, he limped toward Cedrick and swung a punch directly at him, hitting Cedrick squarely in the chest.

Cedrick furrowed his brows and stood still, taking the solid punch squarely.

His hands were tied behind his back at that moment, making it impossible for him to fight back.

Immediately afterward, Joe launched multiple punches at Cedrick, all the while continuing to taunt, “Mr. Jenson, the all-powerful Mr. Jenson, the big shot who rules Salinsburgh single-handedly. You’ve fallen into my hands now. Did you ever think I would take revenge on you when you killed Eryn?”

Cedrick looked at the frenzied Joe with cold eyes, his voice as icy as winter frost. “Stubborn and delusional. You’re deceiving yourself and others.”

He and Joe were once inseparable companions, understanding each other’s temperament best and knowing the most painful way to hurt each other.

“No! Shut up!” Joe was tearing at Cedrick like a madman, his voice seething with rage. “You are not allowed to slander Eryn anymore! You murderer! Men!”

Upon hearing the summons, Joe’s subordinates hurried over immediately, bowing their heads. “Boss, what are your orders?”

Joe casually pushed aside Cedrick, who was already covered in wounds. He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands, which were stained with dirt. With an indifferent tone, he ordered, “Give him an injection.”

“Yes”

A group of five henchmen closed in on Cedrick. Two of them pinned his arms, while the remaining one quickly injected a prepared serum into his arm.

Joe laughed, his eyes filled with hatred. “Cedrick, this is the newly developed Virus X. If you don’t get the antidote within three days, you’re certain to die.”

Cedrick sneered, “Joe, you’re nothing but a failure, a complete and utter failure. You’ve spent your entire life being used by others”

“Shut up!”

Joe seemed to have gone mad as he pulled out his gun. He loaded a bullet and fired at Cedrick.

Bang Bang Bang!

The successive gunshots in the dark night were particularly chilling.

Cedrick stood still, calm and composed.

Every single shot Joe fired hit the ground around him, not even grazing him.

Beom!

A clap of thunder echoed through the sky, abruptly rousing Gwendolyn from her sleep in the laboratory ward.
