The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 663

The tension in the air grew palpable as Cedrick’s displeasure grew more apparent.

Channing opted to remain silent, feeling a sense of intimidation in the presence of Cedrick’s simmering temper.

Gwendolyn, however, smiled and reached out to Cedrick, gently holding his arm and caressing his face in an attempt to soothe him. Her voice softened as she said, “Hubby, you know I’m skilled in jiu-jitsu. I can take care of myself. Not many can match me.”

Despite her reassurances, Cedrick remained steadfast in his decision. “No, I cannot accept this proposal. It’s far too dangerous.”

He believed it was too risky for Gwendolyn to face armed individuals alone, especially considering the ruthless nature of the underworld. Cedrick would never allow her to put herself in harm’s way.

Gwendolyn sighed. “I understand your worries, but we need to resolve this case as soon as possible, especially with Benny involved. I want to support you and share the burden.”

Cedrick shook his head resolutely, unwavering in his decision.

If, as the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he still had to put his wife in harm’s way to solve the case, he might as well retire early and pass on his position to someone else.

Gwendolyn reached out and intertwined their fingers, offering reassurance. “Trust me on this one. I’m not as weak as the other girls.”

Her mischievous smile tugged at Cedrick’s heart. “Why not hold Mr. Kron accountable for my safety since he’s the one who kidnapped me? Make him hand over his wife, and if any harm befalls me, you can retaliate by hurting his wife. I’m confident that Mr. Kron will go to great lengths to protect me if we proceed with this plan.”

Channing paled with fright at her suggestion. Isn’t that too ruthless? No wonder they say women are terrifying. Mrs. Jenson is just as ruthless as my wife.

Channing didn’t dare say a word as Gwendolyn turned to him with a smile, asking, “What do you think of the proposal, Mr. Kron?”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Jenson. I will do everything in my power to protect you from harm. They won’t be able to lay a finger on you.”
