The Ex and Her Riches

Gwendolyn remembered Annie had manipulated Asher to sideline her from holding real power in the Harris Group. Hence, she snapped back to reality and decided to prepare in advance.

Gwendolyn was getting ready to leave the Jenson residence when Valentino returned after taking his medicine.

“Where are you going, Gwendolyn? It’s getting late. Why don’t you stay the night here?” Valentino suggested.

“Yeah, it’s raining/outside. You should stay for the night and spend more time with Old Mr. Jenson and the little ones,” Logan chimed in.

Unfortunately, Gwendolyn couldn’t tell Valentino that she might have a manic episode at night. Hence, she smiled and responded, “Something urgent occurred at the Harris family. As the head of the family, I have to head back and handle it. Grandpa, please rest early tonight. Mdm. Yarde will look after Benny and Zendy tonight, so there’s no need for you to stay up late.”

Valentino understood that Gwendolyn needed to attend to her family matters, and he saw no reason to stand in her way. Hence, he allowed her to take her leave after reminding her to take care of herself.

It was drizzling at Salinsburgh.

Since the roads were slippery on a rainy night, Valentino instructed Logan to accompany Gwendolyn as she left the villa. Armed with umbrellas, they proceeded in single file, carefully treading through the Jenson residence.

“Ms. Zendaya and Mr. Benedict’s company really brightened Old Mr. Jenson’s mood,” Logan remarked.

Smiling warmly, Gwendolyn nodded in agreement.

“What’s wrong with Grandpa?” Gwendolyn inquired when she recalled Valentino taking his medication earlier.

Logan let out a sigh and replied, “Old Mr. Jenson served in the military when he was younger, so he had always been in good health. However, as he gets older, he has inevitably developed conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. He’s currently taking medication to control his blood pressure and blood sugar levels.”

Gwendolyn nodded in understanding.

With that, they continued their journey, embracing the tranquility of the night.

Just then, a tall and slender figure emerged from a nearby alley.

Gwendolyn recognized the person as Xander.
