The Ex and Her Riches

Swain stood by the side, prepared to record her confession.

As the woman struggled to sit up by supporting herself with her trembling arms, she began to recount everything she knew.

“My real name is Tanya Rheed, and Gwendolyn knows me as a patient from Mr. Kieran’s Grand Valley Hospital. My family was poor and I had an unfortunate life. I even attempted to jump off the hospital’s rooftop to end my life. However, I encountered Gwendolyn then, and it was she who rescued me. Then, she took pity on me, encouraged me to seek treatment, and even paid for my medical bills. That’s how both of us got to know each other.”

Cedrick’s brows gradually furrowed as he listened quietly. “So, it’s you.”

He knew about the incident two years ago, for Gwendolyn had shared it with him.

The reason Gwendolyn went out of her way to care for Tanya was that the latter’s family situation reminded her of her own mother.

Her mother had ended up in the hospital and died on the account of her father’s mistress and the latter’s daughter, Evelyn.

Therefore, upon learning of Tanya’s predicament—her husband had cheated on her, threatened her not to accept treatment, and intended to divorce her. That was when Gwendolyn decided to lend her a hand.

She had found evidence of Tanya’s husband’s crimes and had him and his mistress sent to prison.

On top of that, she had hired a lawyer to ensure that the husband was left with nothing from the divorce, while Tanya would be given custody of the house and car.

After Tanya had recovered, she even went to Harris Group to express her gratitude toward Gwendolyn.
