The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 522 Jealousy 

Given Cedrick’s personality, Gwendolyn could tell his statement had an underlying message.

She raised her hand and flicked his forehead in annoyance.

“Quit fooling around! I’m talking about work!”

Rubbing the tender spot on his forehead, Cedrick scowled before retorting. “I’m not fooling around. It’s you who’s reading too much between the lines, Gwenny.”

Gwendolyn gaped at him in disbelief.

Did he just imply that my thinking is impure?

Gwendolyn raised her hand and flicked Cedrick on the head once more. “That just shows what a bad influence you have on me. Your fault for talking dirty all the time.”

Cedrick was at a loss for words.

Realizing that anything he said at that moment could be used against him, he admitted defeat and lowered his head meekly, no longer arguing with Gwendolyn.

Curiosity filled her heart as she asked, “Neal is the crowned prince of Astoria and the rightful heir to the throne. He’s someone with great power and authority. How could a single text from you cause a man of principles to bend the rules without any hint of hesitation? How did you do it? What did you tell him?”

Cedrick cocked a brow. “You really wanna know, Darling?”

Gwendolyn nodded.

A devilish grin appeared on his handsome face. “It’s a secret.”

Gwendolyn fell silent at his reply.

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Cedrick quickly but genuinely changed the subject. “All right, Darling, go get ready. If we can’t get to the open tender in the next half an hour, I’ll just tell them that we’re not going.”

Gwendolyn tossed him a side-eye and decided to settle work first. After freshening up in the bathroom. she put on a gown and applied a facial mask for five minutes before putting on her makeup.

Within half an hour, the two of them arrived at the open tender..

Only the bodyguards and Queena the assistant awaited them at the entrance. All of the guests were already seated inside the hall long ago.

At the sight of the two of them, Queena hurried over to greet them. “Mr. Jenson, Ms. Harris, you’re finally here.”
