The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick thought of something and ordered Nico, “Contact the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tell them to apprehend Pablo immediately. I want to interrogate him myself.”

“Eh?” Nico was puzzled. “Among the three of them, Pablo hasn’t done anything outlandish.”

“I want Pablo captured. I won’t repeat myself again,” insisted Cedrick. They all thought these were photos of a bed. The current assumption was that someone brought Joaquin out of the bar and carried him to a nearby hotel. Then, that person called a few beautiful women to the hotel room to take a few photos. However, there isn’t actually a complete bed in the photos. All we can see are white pillows and a quilt cover. It’s unsurprising we all thought these were photos of a bed at first glance.

He lowered his sight, glancing at Gwendolyn in his embrace. Whenever he had an idea, he would choose to tell her first. “Those photos on the internet aren’t depicting a bed. They were taken in the bar’s private room, Gwenny. When I checked the surveillance footage earlier, I noticed people started leaving the room at two in the morning. Meanwhile, Pablo left nonchalantly after half past seven in the morning. I think he took the pictures during that missing half hour.”

Upon hearing the analysis, Joaquin exploded in anger. “I can’t believe it was Pablo! He’s usually polite and reasonable. Heck, he even performed a good deed in front of us one time. To think he’s capable of such evil! I want him captured as soon as possible so I can flay him alive!”

Gwendolyn shook her head resignedly with a grin as she watched Joaquin lose his temper and yell like a madman. “I suggest you think of how to explain the situation to Old Mr. Zipper first. There’s no doubt he’s still angry after you turn off your phone since he can’t reach you. If you can’t quell his rage, you’d better get ready to be beaten to death.”

In response, Joaquin shuddered in fear. I can still vividly feel the pain that the belt left on me! Only death awaits me if I return to the Zipper residence!

He approached Cedrick and Gwendolyn, pleading, “You have to help me, Gwendolyn! It’s the end for me if I return home! If that happens, you’ll never be able to see such a cute, docile, and handsome young man like me again! Moreover, I won’t be able to help you earn more money!”

Cedrick glared at the whining Joaquin coldly and said grimly, “She has me, so she doesn’t need a troublesome dog like you around. You signed a contract, and if you can’t bring profits to the company, you’re better off dead.”

Joaquin pouted and turned to Gwendolyn, complaining, “Look at how mean he is, Gwendolyn! Can’t you do something about it?”

Stifling a giggle, Gwendolyn teased, “I don’t know if you’re cute, but you do resemble a dog, and you are quite troublesome.”

he opened the door pitifully and sneaked out of the vehicle without interrupting the couple’s intimate moment. Once he was out, he sprinted a dozen meters away to get some
