Gwendolyn’s eyes darted around, and she couldn’t stop blinking. “Maybe someone called by mistake. Ignore it. Let’s take the medicine first.”

“By mistake?”

Cedrick perceptively noticed the panic in her gaze. Doubts rose in his heart.

The phone kept ringing as if it wouldn’t stop until someone picked up the call.

Cedrick’s face darkened as he stood up to grab her phone. “I’ll answer it for you.”

“No, it’s okay!”

Gwendolyn grabbed his hand tightly.

Her action aroused Cedrick’s suspicion. Why is she so flustered?

Gwendolyn realized she had overreacted. She hurriedly pulled him to sit down. “I remember now. It must be the business partner from earlier calling. I forgot to save his number.”

Cedrick’s doubts didn’t diminish the slightest. “It’s half past nine at night. Who would call to talk about business at this hour?”

“How would I know? I’ll answer it and ask.”

Gwendolyn put down the glass of water and calmed her beating heart before answering the call and lowering the volume to the minimum.

“Hello. How can I help you?”

On the other end of the phone, Charles was taken aback, but he immediately understood the situation. “Gwen, is Cedrick with you now? Oh my, did I call at the wrong time and interrupt your couple’s quality time?”

After taking a deep breath, Gwendolyn looked at Cedrick, who was staring at her. She stood up, walked to the balcony, and muttered coldly, “Just get straight to the point.”

Charles chuckled playfully and said. “Sure. Let’s talk business. Come to the abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs of Salinsburgh before eleven tonight. You can bring bodyguards with you, but remember this; only you can enter Room 302 on the fifth floor!”

Gwendolyn didn’t answer immediately. She turned around and glanced at the bedroom.

Cedrick was sitting perfectly still beside the bed with his back facing her, seemingly lost in
