Wooing My Ex-Wife

Cedrick didn’t know what she had done at the Harris residence the day before. Hence, as he was driving toward Mount Tranquil, he asked, “Why do you want to go back to Mount Tranquil all of a sudden?”

After all, Treyton was staying in a villa elsewhere, and Kieran had already gone to Fairlake. Apart from the members of the branch families, Asher and Sienna were the only ones there.

In response, Gwendolyn turned to look at the view outside the car and explained casually, “I brought Annie to Mount Tranquil yesterday and told Asher to go back to reciting scriptures. Looking at the time now, I think he’s still reciting. Since I can’t sleep, I want to check on him.”

Cedrick had been with her for a long time, so he understood what she meant by just listening to her brief explanation. “Well, it’s good to check things out. When it comes to certain things, you’ll need to see it for yourself to feel completely at ease.”

Gwendolyn said nothing in response and stared at the streetlights dazedly.

Upon glancing at her. Cedrick asked concernedly, “Gwenny, what if Annie isn’t Evelyn? What are you going to do?”

In a cold tone, Gwendolyn answered, “Although I don’t have evidence to back that up, I bet she and Paul were the masterminds behind the attack we faced on the way to the airport in Astoria. Hence, I still have a score to settle with her. Now that she’s in Chanaea, my territory, I’m not letting her leave so easily.”

“Annie is easy to deal with, but what about Paul? After all, he’s a count in Ospea. Besides, Antea Group is well–established. If you want to go up against him. Gwenny, you ought to be careful,” Cedrick advised.

Obviously, Gwendolyn knew that as well. “Let’s just find out what’s the deal with Annie first. If she really isn’t Evelyn, I’ll deal with her in a professional manner. Otherwise, I’ll use the Harris family’s rules to teach her a lesson.”

Her tone grew solemn as she spoke, and she was staring at the brightly lit villa on top of Mount Tranquil. “Now that she’s on Mount Tranquil, she can forget about ever using Paul to make a comeback.

Gwendolyn went to the Harris residence discreetly because she didn’t want to startle the other members of the Harris family. Therefore, she told Cedrick to park the car somewhere halfway up the mountain, and they both continued the journey by foot.

Around ten minutes later, Gwendolyn and Cedrick arrived at Marcus‘ old villa and headed to the ancestral hall through the back door.

As they approached the ancestral hall, they heard Asher’s chanting.

Due to his hoarse voice, Asher sounded terrible, and he seemed to be struggling. However, he was chanting slowly and calmly.

Gwendolyn peeked through the window to observe the situation in the ancestral hall.

At that moment, Asher was kneeling on the cold marble floor tiles instead of a cushion. With a stack of scriptures in front of him, he chanted in a proper manner with one in his hands.

Although he had his back straightened, he was swaying, and he sounded dehydrated.

Despite kneeling and reciting in the ancestral hall since the afternoon, no one knew if he had drunk any water. It was a rather inhumane punishment.
