The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick struggled with the dilemma for half a minute.

He first called the police station and inquired about the reason for Gwendolyn’s arrest.

He learned that Gwendolyn was detained in the interrogation room and unable to leave because she had left her bag and phone at Valentino’s villa.

Together with Nico, he set off to the villa.

Kieran and the Jenson family’s medical corps were giving Valentino an IV drip. It was a matter of time before the latter regained consciousness, as his condition was relatively stable after all.

After getting Nico to stay behind and keep watch, Cedrick grabbed Gwendolyn’s phone and bag before heading to the police station to bail her out.

Feeling bored and frustrated, Gwendolyn felt that the police station was due for a shake-up.

Even though she knew that the police were beholden to the fact that Paul was Ospean royalty and had to do something for the sake of diplomatic relations, the two officers who were supposed to get her stuff from the Jenson residence had taken so long that she felt that they were doing it on purpose.

In fact, she wondered if the two officers who had taken her statement had actually sent anyone to the Jenson residence. They might very well be looking to detain her at the police station.

As she waited, her mind never stopped contemplating everything that was going on.

The more she thought about it, the more flaws there were ever since she abducted Annie and kept her in the basement of the Harris family’s old villa.

She felt as if they were setting up traps for each other.

Just as she was lost in thought, the door to the interrogation room opened abruptly.

Gwendolyn, who was mired in her troubles, couldn’t be bothered.

The person who entered kneeled down by her side and called out softly, “Gwenny, I’m back.”

That deep and familiar voice…

Gwendolyn lowered her head. She was greeted by the sight of Cedrick, the husband she had longed for who looked slightly more tanned than before.

Having not seen him for a couple of days, Gwendolyn was ecstatic over his sudden appearance.
