The Ex and Her Riches

Gwendolyn paid no heed to her. After securing a lock of her hair, she turned around to leave without looking back.

After leaving the basement, the first thing Gwendolyn did was to call Kieran.

The call connected swiftly.

Kieran’s typically cool and pleasant voice greeted her. “What’s up, Kiddo?”

Gwendolyn glanced at the lock of Annie’s hair in her palm before she asked, “When are you planning to return? Have you read the message I sent you the other day?”

Kieran blinked, suddenly remembering that he had forgotten to reply to her last message.

“I’ve booked the flight. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should arrive at Salinsburgh Airport before noon tomorrow,” he replied.

Gwendolyn felt considerably more at ease after getting a specific time. “Is my future sister- in-law coming with you?”

Kieran remained silent for a while before replying in a shy tone, “Yes.”

Gwendolyn detected the hint of shyness in his voice and was glad. “That’s good. I will send bodyguards to pick you up at the airport. Your villa at Mount Tranquil will be cleaned and ready for your arrival.”

“Okay. See you tomorrow,” he said.

“See you tomorrow,” Gwendolyn echoed softly.

After hanging up, she ordered the six bodyguards she had specifically brought in, “Guard the basement well. Do not let anyone in except me, and that includes Asher.”

“Yes, Ms. Harris.”

With everything set, Gwendolyn left Mount Tranquil to continue her treatment and rest at the lab.

After undergoing these treatment sessions, her manic symptoms significantly improved. She was eager to recover quickly and return to a normal life with Cedrick
