The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick took a break before he picked up the last shot. Turning to Treyton, he said, “Mr. Treyton, I beat you up even though you took care of me previously. I’d like to offer an apology with this toast!”

Treyton nodded calmly, projecting an air of magnanimity as if he were graciously forgiving Cedrick.

Cedrick finished the last shot swiftly.

To his surprise, it tasted sweet.

He savored the shot without any discomfort. It’s mellow to the taste. This is a light fruit wine.

Cedrick’s eyes widened in surprise as he glanced at Treyton. It seemed that he had comprehended the Harris brothers’ unspoken message.

After the couple made it through the pain, suffering, struggles, and confusion, their future together would be filled with happiness and satisfaction.

The shots also contained a subtle warning, reminding Cedrick that mistreating Gwendolyn would not be tolerated, and the Harris brothers were prepared to subject him to such torment once more if necessary.

Cedrick would have to shower his affections on Gwendolyn if he wanted to lead a peaceful life.

Having comprehended the underlying message within seconds, Cedrick gave the three men a grateful look. “I know how much you all care for Gwenny. I, Cedrick Jenson, promise that I will never let you down. Gwenny will be the only apple of my eye in this lifetime!”

His gaze shone with sincerity and determination as he gave them his word.

Asher gave a nod of reluctant approval, accompanied by a disdainful snort. “Remember your promise. If you go against your word and forsake Kiddo once more, I’ll definitely end your life!”

He was acknowledging Cedrick, which meant that the latter had passed his test.

Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief and turned her attention to Kieran, who remained silent until then.

Kieran made no attempt to voice his stance. Evidently, he was not entirely satisfied.
