The Ex and Her Riches

Charles’ long eyelashes covered his blue eyes. He seemed like he had seriously thought about it.

“I like it when lovers end up together. If you two sincerely love one another, then, of course, wholeheartedly support it. As for typical traditions like engagement gifts, going through the motions will suffice.”

Treyton met his gaze and absorbed his words.

“Should you intend to take the helm, Charles, all the holding resources of the businesses under my name will fully support you.”

Both men locked eyes with burning determination in their gazes,

Everyone’s lives seemed to be gradually regaining a sense of normalcy.

In the evening. Gwendolyn gave Cedrick a call to tell him she was going to a business gala alone.

Many CEOs of large overseas corporations would be in attendance.

Recently, she had been making plans for the export trade of Harris Group.

The Harris family was currently the richest family in Chanaca, and she, Gwendolyn Shalders Harris, had become the only woman to rise to the position of the richest person in Chanaca.

Although it could not have been possible without Cedrick’s help back then, Gwendolyn’s ambition did not stop there.

She wished to expand Harris Group’s trading to other countries. Additionally, she had a greater goal, which was to become the richest person in the world.

Dovil Group, one of the top three companies in the world, was among those attending the business gala that night.

She heard that the company was widely inviting tenders for a new collaborative project they had recently launched, and she was determined to get the spot at the gala.

Cedrick was worried about her going alone. “I’ll go with you tonight. I’ll put Craig’s matter aside and continue with it tomorrow.”

“That won’t be necessary. You’ve been dealing with Craig’s case for so long, so it’s best to get an outcome as quickly as possible. Besides, I’ll keep my distance from other men and avoid anything that suggests cheating.”

Her tone grew colder as she spoke.

Even though she did not make a big deal about what had happened previously, this distrust was like a tiny fishbone lodged in her throat that she could not remove.
