Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 590 Cedrick Has His Suspicions 

“Annie kicked over the fuel tank earlier and wanted to set it on fire to perish with me. Thankfully, I managed to stop her in time,” Gwendolyn explained before nodding toward the lighter dropped outside the cage. “There. That’s what she was about to use.”

“I can’t believe she still has the cheek to pull a stunt like this. She’s incorrigible!” Nico fumed.

Asher, too, was grim–faced as he glowered at Paul. “What are you waiting for? Open the cage now,” he ordered, his voice hoarse but authoritative.

Paul then gestured to his bodyguards, who promptly pressed a switch on the opposite wall to raise the giant cage back to the ceiling.

Without further ado, Nico and the others walked to Gwendolyn. “Has Annie told you about Mom’s cause of death?” Asher asked.

Gwendolyn nodded. “Yes. It’s all over. Haul her away, Nico, I want to look into every crime she has committed over the years.”

“Sure, Gwendolyn.”

Not wanting to stay a second longer, the woman turned around and left.

Having noticed what Annie was up to, Asher shouted, “Kiddo!”

Since he was also the nearest to Gwendolyn, he instinctively hugged her and shielded her from the attack
