The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick let out a nearly imperceptible sigh of relief. “So that’s how it is. Don’t hang up just yet. I’ll have Swain look into it.”

Having been dozing off for a while, Swain was startled by the sudden ringing of the phone on the table. He woke up instantly from his slumber and hastily picked up the call.

“What can I do for you, Boss?”

“Look up the recent updates on Charles as soon as possible.”

Charles?

Swain had been in a deep sleep, so it took him a moment to gather his bearings.

Considering that there was no immediate response from the other end, Cedrick’s voice suddenly turned cold. “Do I need to repeat myself a second time?” A chilling aura emanated from the other end of the phone, causing Swain to shiver uncontrollably. He quickly responded, “I’ll look into it right away.”

After spending some time tapping away at the keyboard, Swain reported, “I found it. Charles left the country on a private plane at three in the afternoon. However, it’s unclear which country he went to.”

After receiving the news, Cedrick hung up the phone and called Gwendolyn back.

“You heard it, Charles is not in the country right now.”

His tone carried a hint of relaxation and pride. Gwendolyn shook her head. “Got it. Bye.”

Once again, Gwendolyn dialed Whitney’s number, asking, “Whitney, where are you? I’m coming to find. you.”

Whitney sent her location.

Soon, Gwendolyn arrived. Upon seeing the private room, she felt a sense of discomfort.

Gwendolyn could understand the feeling of helplessness that came from not being able to find a loved.

Not everyone could have the courage to disregard everything and go to a strange country for one person.
