The Ex and Her Riches

The four troops retreated to their headquarters.

Gwendolyn and Cedrick, accompanied by Nico, who carried Jennifer on his back, hastened their return to the Harrick Villa. Treyton and Summer had been waiting at the entrance for a while.

Summer found a chair and sat down, keeping Treyton company by the entrance.

The surroundings were enveloped in darkness, and the villa’s entrance was illuminated by the faint glow of streetlights, casting long, slender shadows of Treyton.

Summer could not stay silent anymore. “Mr. Treyton, can you please settle down for a moment? You’re making me dizzy. Why don’t you take a seat for a while?”

Treyton paid no attention to her and continued his restless back-and-forth movement.

The night had grown considerably late.

With no news from Gwendolyn, Treyton could not help but wonder if everything was going according to plan. At this juncture, how does she expect me to sit still?

Summer, unable to persuade him, shook her head in resignation. She could only keep him company out of boredom while waiting for Nico.

Treyton turned his head, and even in the dim light outside, his gaze was immediately drawn to Jennifer. who was being carried on Nico’s back. “Jennifer?”

With a sense of urgency, he rushed over and decisively took her from Nico, holding her tightly in his arms.

As Treyton observed her pale face and the dark red bruises that stood out on her wrists and neck, his eyes turned red. He looked at Gwendolyn and asked, “Kiddo, what happened? Is she injured?”

Gwendolyn sighed. “Let’s go in first. It’s not appropriate to discuss it here.”

Treyton nodded in response. He carried Jennifer and hurriedly made his way to Harrick Villa
