Wooing My Ex-Wife

Apart from learning that Cedrick was on a business trip, Annie also stumbled upon another good news.

Xander, the younger scion of the Jenson family who had been banished from Salinsburgh by Cedrick, had returned.

She could use this news to her advantage and prepare her next move.

As night fell, Annie stood by the window, her smile both enchanting and venomous.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn, who had enjoyed a respite from her manic episodes for several days, finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep in the laboratory. However, her slumber caused her illness to relapse.

Joshua, who was physically weak, stood no chance against Gwendolyn, the martial arts expert. Hence, he could only observe helplessly from the sidelines, unable to intervene. He summoned the few guards who were present during the late hours to spar with Gwendolyn.

When Gwendolyn was in her maniac state, she displayed immense physical strength. As a result, the guards had to avoid causing her harm while protecting themselves from injury at the same time, which was a challenging task for them.

Joshua’s eyes widened with trepidation as he witnessed the guards swiftly succumbing to Gwendolyn’s blows.

Undeterred by their battered and swollen faces, the dedicated guards did not give up.

The confrontation soon transformed from a sparring session into a one–sided cathartic release of pent–up frustration.

After a grueling two hours, Gwendolyn was utterly drained and fell into a deep sleep once again.

Joshua watched in fear and awe as the scene unfolded before him. The guards, bearing visible injuries, were miserable.

“Prof. Mallory, can this be considered a work–related injury?” one of the guards asked.

“Mrs. Jenson is truly formidable. Just look at what she’s done to my face,” another guard added.

“She’s such a scary woman!”

The guards‘ voices were filled with sorrow and frustration as they complained tearfully.

Joshua clicked his tongue as he marveled at Cedrick’s remarkable feat of engaging in a two–hour spar with the ferocious Gwendolyn without sustaining any injuries. His admiration for the man deepened as he was in awe of the latter’s combat skills.
