Wooing My Ex-Wife

The atmosphere in the master bedroom grew tense after Gwendolyn said that

“That’s not true! I did not team up with anyone to hurt Cedrick! He’s trying to set me up, Grandpa!” Xander protested stubbornly.

Valentino weakly leaned against the headrest and stared at the facial expressions of those around him.

Having dominated the military and the corporate world during his younger days, Valentino could tell that something was amiss even though his brain worked a little slower due to his illness.

The fact that Gwendolyn said that means she’s involved, so this incident has affected the Harris family as well. Therefore, this is no longer a private affair within the Jenson family.

He turned toward Gwendolyn after a prolonged moment of silence and asked, “If what you said is true, how do you plan on handling this?”

“That depends on whether you plan to resolve this privately or publicly, Grandpa,” Gwendolyn replied with a gentle smile.

Xander’s eyes lit up the moment he heard that.

What? We can resolve this privately? So, Gwendolyn is here to help us out, huh?

His face grew increasingly pale from the pain as he had been kneeling with an injured leg.

Yael quickly stepped forward to hold him steady when he noticed that.

As the Jenson family’s medical corps happened to be present, they were able to help bandage his wound.

After obtaining permission from Valentino, Yael helped Xander over to a chair on the side.

Meanwhile, the discussion continued on at the bedside.

“What does each method entail?” Valentino asked.

“If we handle it publicly, we will let the legal justice system decide on Xander’s punishment according to the evidence that Nico has gathered. Xander pointed a gun at the chief of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and tried to kill him, so you can imagine how severe the consequences would be. He will most likely end up in a high–security prison.
