Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 284 His Explanation Backfired +15 Bonu Since Nico was coming over, Gwendolyn did not want to embarrass him in front of others.

She subtly gestured toward the nearby couch with her eyes.

“Go and take a seat.

” Cedrick refused to move.

He kept his head lowered, breathing heavily in anger, while his cold, dark eyes revealed his murderous intent.

Remembering how he had angina, Gwendolyn gently stroked his cheek to soothe his emotions.

“Go and take a seat over there, okay? We might be able to clear your name soon.

” Cedrick suppressed his emotions and sat on the couch on the side.

Fifteen minutes later, Nico arrived.

As he stepped into the house, the intimidating atmosphere caused him to shudder.

After seeing the cigarettes on the coffee table, he instantly knew what to expect.

He was pleased to see how effective his meticulous plan was.

I can’t believe Boss was caught red–handed so quickly.

With a faint grin on his face, he stood obediently by the coffee table.

Cedrick could not believe Nico still dared to smile in front of him.

Despite that, Cedrick remained composed in front of Gwendolyn as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Gwenny saw the cigarettes you placed in the drawer.

You better explain everything to her, and don’t you dare utter a single lie.

If you do, I’ll drag you to the interrogation room and hook you up to a lie detector and a shock device!” Nico was struck dumb, not daring to give him any response.

What the f*ck? How can he be so ruthless? This is not what I expected! Didn’t Boss want to be punished? Shouldn’t he be happy about being found out? Gwendolyn knitted her brows before shooting daggers in Cedrick’s direction.

“Why are you threatening him?” “N–No, I didn’t…” Cedrick instantly toned down his voice.

Instead of continuing with the reprimand, Gwendolyn turned to Nico and asked in a calm tone, “Nico, tell me the truth.

Did Cedrick smoke today?” Nico froze for a moment before instinctively casting a glance at Cedrick.

Cedrick blithely warned him again, “Shock device!” His words sent chills down Nico’s spine.

“Nope, he didn’t! He asked me for a cigarette, but he just took a sniff of it before tossing it away.

” Gwendolyn maintained a composed posture, crossing her arms gracefully, and her facial expression remained stoic.
