The Ex and Her Riches

By now, Sienna became increasingly convinced by what Gwendolyn had told her before.

While she was deep in thought, Annie had signed the document, grabbed an ink pad, and pressed Gwendolyn’s thumb onto the ink.

Annie maintained a calm gaze and kept her intentions hidden after doing all that in one go, no longer acting like a harmless rabbit.

She passed the document to Sienna. “With this waiver, Harris Group rightfully belongs to Mr. Asher. You can rest easy now, Mrs. Harris.”

Sienna glanced through the details. “But Gwendolyn’s only unconscious for now and will wake up eventually. She didn’t even sign this document on her own. What if she denies having signed it?”

Annie remained composed. “Don’t worry. I’ll be taking her away tonight, so she won’t show up for a while. I still suggest you talk Mr. Asher into taking office, though. Things may get complicated if the matter gets dragged on.”

Sienna furrowed her brows. “Where will you take her?”

“This isn’t something you should be asking, Mrs. Harris. Our agreement was for me to help Mr. Asher regain what’s his and relinquish Gwendolyn’s power. With this document, everything will be accomplished. I’ve done my part, so I should be getting what I want next–and all I want is to take Gwendolyn away.”

“You!”

Without waiting for Sienna to continue, Annie whipped out her phone and sent a voice message in Epean. “I’ve got Gwendolyn all tied up. Get her out of here now.”

In less than two minutes, the new chef from Ospea removed his apron and chef’s uniform to reveal a black suit fitting for a bodyguard.

Per Annie’s instructions, he entered the guest room, swiftly placed the unconscious Gwendolyn over his shoulder, and turned to leave.

Sienna went after them, feeling slightly anxious. “What are you planning, Annie? We’re in Chanaea! You’re basically kidnapping if you take her away with you like this. If anything were to happen to her, do you think you’d get to avoid jail time just because you’re Ospean?”

Given that she was so close to achieving her goal, Annie disregarded Sienna and followed the bodyguard closely, walking along the aisle and preparing to head down the stairs.
