The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 420

One week remained until the wedding, and Gwendolyn refused to let any time go to waste.

Taking over Harris Group came with a multitude of responsibilities, and there were numerous projects that needed her attention.

Thankfully, Cedrick proved to be a valuable ally during this busy period. He meticulously made notes on the documents Gwendolyn needed to review, allowing her to work through them more efficiently.

Together, they headed to the Harris Group office and prepared for another day of productive work.

Cedrick set up his laptop on the coffee table, diligently working on projects from the Jenson Group while also assisting Gwendolyn whenever he could.

They worked side by side, matching each other’s pace and sharing a focused determination.

Knock, knock…

In the afternoon, Parker, Gwendolyn’s assistant, urgently knocked on the CEO’s office door. “Ms. Harris, something important has come up!”

However, upon seeing Cedrick in the room, Parker hesitated, seemingly troubled by his presence.

Gwendolyn looked up from her typing and reassured her, saying, “Please, Parker, speak freely. Mr. Jenson is part of our team. There’s no need to worry about him.”

Parker had no choice but to steel herself as she delivered the troubling news to Gwendolyn. “Ms. Harris, this is regarding the Synergy Project we’ve been working on. The marketing plan is ready, and we were planning to initiate a trial run today. However, we discovered that…”

Gwendolyn frowned. “Discovered what?”

Sensing the tension in the room, Cedrick halted his work and turned his full attention toward Parker.

Parker’s voice grew smaller as she stole glances at Cedrick. “One of the subsidiaries under Jenson Group unexpectedly announced a new project just before our plan launch. The content of their project is exactly the same as ours. The higher-ups at Harris Group are in an uproar because of this, and they s-suspect…”

Cedrick interjected with a serious expression, “They suspect that I stole the planning proposal for Harris Group’s new project while I am here taking care of Gwenny?”

Parker lowered her head and fell silent, confirming Cedrick’s statement.
