The Ex and Her Riches

With that, the conflict between Evelyn and Gwendolyn finally came to an end.

At last, after many days of dealing with the matter and sleepless nights, the latter could slumber at ease.

As it was Inez’s first time in Salinsburgh, Gwendolyn invited Inez and Kieran to Harrick Villa for a meal.

Ever since Jennifer became the team manager, she had been swamped every day, and it had been a long while since she last had a proper rest. Seeing that Jennifer had finally found a job she was interested in and was leading a fulfilling life, Gwendolyn invited her and Treyton to a meal as well.

When Sienna learned that the rest of the family would be there, she dragged Asher to attend the family gathering in Harrick Villa uninvitedly.

Even Nico and Summer came to enjoy a free meal.

By the end, what was supposed to be a small event turned into a large gathering.

Cedrick and Gwendolyn bought many ingredients and prepared the dishes themselves.

Cedrick grabbed a few bottles of expensive wine and poured a glass for everyone to celebrate the family gathering.

At the dining table, Gwendolyn asked, “How much longer do you plan to wait until you marry Kieran,

Inez?”

Inez was peeling prawns for herself when she was cued all of a sudden. She lowered her head in slight discomfiture. “It’s not my decision to make. It depends on the deliberation between my parents and Mr. Kieran’s decision. I’ve already been deprived of the right to speak; it’s pointless even if I oppose.”
