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.”

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.”
