The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 271 Meeting An Old Friend

Since Cedrick had no other options, he chose to ignore her instead.

Once again, he gazed out of the window with indifference.

Those lipstick stains looked very prominent against his fair, handsome face. He looked as if he had been taken advantage of.

The cold and aloof man was of no significance in front of Gwendolyn.

Seeing that he did not wish to talk, Gwendolyn did not plan to force him.

“Fine. I’ll give you time to calm down. But you aren’t allowed to talk about calling off our engagement or anything of that sort. Back then, you were the one who came on to me, and now, you want to back off. Don’t even think about it! Cedrick, you belong to me and only me this lifetime! I’m sorry that I’m so domineering. It’s too late for you now that you know my character! Take your time and have your regrets later on!”

With a proud hum, she then left the room.

She knew Cedrick too well. He was a stubborn mule.

Furthermore, he loved to hide his pains.

Gwendolyn could guess why he was like that.

Back at the party, Valentino said that he wanted to punish Cedrick in front of her.

Both Cedrick’s parents passed away in a car accident when he was very young. As a result, he grew up under the watchful eyes of Valentino.

Valentino was a strict, traditional man who would not hesitate to punish Cedrick. Even if Cedrick was hurt or in pain, there was no one to console him. He could only keep it all to himself.

Cedrick was a man who cherished the people who loved him, and he would definitely hide his pain from them.

That was why Gwendolyn thought that he was either hurt or sick this time around!

Judging from the way he was behaving, the problem at hand was quite bad.

Just because Cedrick refused to tell her did not mean she could not check it out herself!

She was walking out of the office while she was deep in her thoughts.

Nico was standing nearby.

She went over to him and whispered, “I need your help. Come with me.”

“What?”
