The Ex and Her Riches

It had been a long time since she had been so cold to him.

Gwendolyn said nothing in response because that matter was still making her heart pound.

If Summer didn’t tell her in time and if she didn’t make her driver run all the red lights to get there, she didn’t dare to imagine how injured Cedrick would have been if he were whipped eighty times.

She still clearly remembered the miserable state Xander was in after his punishment.

She couldn’t imagine how devastated she would be if she got there slightly later. How could he not cherish himself? What happened to the promise he made to me? Did he forget so quickly?

If she didn’t teach him a lesson, he would definitely hide his injuries again!

She pondered for a while before she grabbed his hand and headed upstairs.

Cedrick could clearly sense the chill radiating off Gwendolyn, so he followed her into the room silently.

“Stand here.”

She pointed to the carpet at the foot of the bed.

Although Cedrick didn’t know what she was planning to do, he stood there obediently and looked at her.

Gwendolyn walked to the bedside table and opened the top drawer.

Upon seeing this, Cedrick lowered his head as he knew what was going to happen. He waited for his wife to punish him.

However, Gwendolyn didn’t approach him after taking the ruler out of the drawer.

She rolled up her left sleeve, revealing her slender wrist.

Then, a glint flashed across her eyes as she hit her wrist with her right hand.
