The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 235

Everyone present turned to look at Cedrick, who finally spoke up.

He proceeded to remove his scarf and undo his buttons.

After all, the wound on his chest was the best proof.

Seeing that Cedrick was about to expose the love bites on his chest and collarbones to the members of the Jenson family, Gwendolyn panicked and grabbed his shirt, preventing him from taking it off.

“Don’t take off your clothes! Have you no shame? There are so many people around!” Gwendolyn uttered. Why is this jerk so shameless? I’ll definitely teach him a lesson once he recovers!

In response, Cedrick pursed his lips and smiled. “I’m a man. Exposing my chest isn’t a big deal.”

“Yes, it is!” Gwendolyn glared at him and warned in a whisper, “From now on, I’m the only one who’s allowed to look at your body. Put your clothes back on!”

Cedrick was happy to hear her staking her claim to him.

Following that, he buttoned his shirt and shot Nico a look.

Nico then brought a tied-up young man into the ancestral hall and threw him into the open space in the middle of the ancestral hall. After that, Nico passed a printed document to Logan and let Logan bring it to Valentino.

“This is the man who was spreading the fake news when Mr. Cedrick was on a mission. When I apprehended him last night, he was about to flee after receiving a payment from Mr. Xander. His statement is attached in the document,” Nico reported.

Valentino perused the statement carefully and shot Yael a stern look afterward.

Yael was dumbfounded. Xander told me he had that man killed in the suburbs last night! How did the man end up getting caught by Nico?

Valentino then handed the statement to Yael.

Yael read the document three times over to confirm its authenticity. Xander’s subordinates made a blunder! Cedrick has dirt on us now!
