The Ex and Her Riches

Thunderstruck, everyone shook their heads vehemently. “No, no, no, no, no, of course not! Ms. Harris, we would never dare to lie to you!”

“Yes, Ms. Harris, rest assured, our lips are sealed,” another person echoed in agreement.

Gwendolyn nodded affirmatively and discreetly signaled the guards, conveying her instructions to carefully monitor how they deleted the videos properly.

Afterward, Gwendolyn turned on her heels and exited the film studio without casting a glance behind her. She promptly instructed William and Quinton to escort Jennifer back home.

During the journey back to Angle, Gwendolyn was still thinking about Eloise.

Eloise, known for her vicious and arrogant nature, hardly had any friends. Evelyn was one of the few individuals who were associated with her.

During Eloise’s birthday party a while ago, it was Evelyn who helped her come up with the scheme. Could Evelyn be the mastermind behind this again? Did she intentionally instigate Eloise to cause trouble this time? But then again, though Evelyn was young, she had always been thoughtful and meticulous. It doesn’t seem like she would be so careless.

Gwendolyn gazed out of the window, Eloise’s words echoing in her mind, replaying over and over again.

She believed Eloise was trying to sow discord between her and Cedrick by making those remarks. Cedrick and I have been through thick and thin. It would be foolish of her to think that she could tear us apart.

The car soon arrived at Angle’s underground car park while she was still in deep contemplation.

Gwendolyn then took the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

The moment she stepped out of the elevator, Joanne approached her. “Ms. Harris, the representative from Erihal has arrived to discuss business with you. He’s waiting for you in the reception room.”

Before this, Gwendolyn had finalized the trade tax exemption rights with Gerhardt when she was in Erihal. She had entrusted the task to Treyton ever since.

“All right. Got it,” Gwendolyn replied nonchalantly.

She went back to her office to change into a fresh set of clothes before making her way to the reception room.
