The Ex and Her Riches

Asher turned around and flashed him a curious glance without saying anything.

Having recalled what Cedrick had told him via text earlier, Nico continued, “Gwendolyn is a fair person. Evelyn has hurt her countless times, so she deserves the punishment that she receives. You shouldn’t have come to beg Gwendolyn to spare her.”

Beg Gwendolyn to spare her?

Asher’s expression slid into a frown. “The fact that she didn’t manage to kill Evelyn is good enough for me. She deserves the punishment she receives, so I am not here to beg for mercy.”

Having stood out there in the freezing rain all night, his voice sounded somewhat hoarse.

Surprised that Asher had thought things through, Nico said after a brief pause, “Evelyn was sent to a farmhouse in the countryside. After completing some hard labor during the day, she would be whipped ten times before being forced to recite the Heagurn Sutra. She would not be allowed to rest until she finishes reciting it. I think that scripture is suitable for those who need to repent. What do you think, Mr. Asher?”

It didn’t take Asher long to understand what Nico was trying to say. “Did Cedrick send you? I know I messed up big time, so I’m grateful that he is there to help Gwenny build up Harris Group.”

Asher then turned around and left the Jenson residence after saying that.

As his legs were numb from all that standing, he struggled a little when walking away.

Nico let out a silent sigh as he watched Asher leave. I just hope he gets the message so Cedrick’s advice won’t go to waste.

He was snapped out of his train of thought when Summer tugged at his arm and exclaimed, “Forget about him, Nico! Let’s just head on inside! Mr. Jenson won’t make us breakfast if we’re late! Don’t you want to enjoy his cooking? His fried eggs are amazing!”

Then, the two of them then strolled into Harrick Villa and enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast.

In the afternoon, Gwendolyn was lying in Cedrick’s embrace and using his muscular chest as a backrest.

The two of them then watched a drama series together while Cedrick fed her some oranges.

As the oranges were particularly sweet and juicy, Gwendolyn found herself unable to stop eating them.

However, Cedrick knew her limits and stopped peeling them after she had her third orange.
