The Ex and Her Riches

“Invite them in,” Gwendolyn uttered calmly.

Two men dressed as bodyguards walked in and bowed at Gwendolyn respectfully. “Ms. Harris, Old Mr. Zipper sent us here. He wishes to terminate the contract between Mr. Zipper and Angle Corporation. We were also instructed to bring Mr. Zipper back with us.”

Gwendolyn kept mum for a while. Old Mr. Zipper is doing this to minimize my losses because he’s afraid that Joaquin might drag me down.

“I’m not terminating the contract. Please tell Old Mr. Zipper I’ll stand by Joaquin’s side no matter what happens!” she eventually replied.

The bodyguards exchanged glances.

They were merely there to relay a message, so neither of them could make a decision. Hence, they said, “In that case, please hand Mr. Zipper over to us. We need to bring him back to Fairlake.”

Gwendolyn knew Patrick would surely punish Joaquin. Regardless of whether Joaquin is responsible for what’s happening, the scandal is all over the internet, so the Zipper family’s business must’ve taken a hit as well. It’s obvious that Old Mr. Zipper is enraged. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent his men here for Joaquin. If Joaquin ends up in their hands, he’ll be punished severely.

The bodyguards were waiting for Gwendolyn’s response. “Ms. Harris?” one of them voiced.

The bodyguard’s voice brought Gwendolyn back to her senses. With a serious expression, she answered, “We lost contact with Joaquin, and we’re still trying to locate him. Please tell Old Mr. Zipper that if I locate Joaquin, I’ll help him discipline Joaquin before sending him back to Fairlake so that Old Mr. Zipper can do the same.”

The bodyguards exchanged glances once again. “We haven’t been able to find Mr. Zipper, either. In fact, we couldn’t even reach his phone. Hence, we thought he was hiding here.”

“He’s not here. I only learned about the scandal minutes ago,” she uttered in response.

“All right, then. We’ll leave you to it.”

Gwendolyn nodded and told Joanne to see the bodyguards off.

The moment the bodyguards left, Gwendolyn’s phone rang.
