Wooing My Ex-Wife

Gwendolyn listened to Cedrick’s analysis and contemplated the matter earnestly.

Annie has been incredibly vigilant up until our encounter on the island. The schemes she devised ahead of time did seem a little sloppy and did not meet her previous standards. The matter about the shooting that Cedrick brought up is also something that needs to be investigated. Setting aside the question of when did Annie learn how to fire a gun, she did pull the trigger more decisively, yet Asher’s visceratwasn’t injured at all. He only suffered a minor gunshot wound. Looks like she has other motives this time around.

When her train of thought ended there, she asked Cedrick, “How’s Nico’s interrogation going?”

“I haven’t checked. Since you’re here, how about we check out the statements together?”

Nodding in approval, Gwendolyn allowed him to hold her hand and guide her into the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

When she recalled what Annie confessed about her mother, she relayed that information to Cedrick.

“I didn’t expect her to be that shrewd even at such a young age. If what she said was true, then she was truly a terrifying girl. However, I can’t believe her version of events entirely. I’d like to investigate this matter further.”

Cedrick was, naturally, elated that his wife was asking him for help. “I can send someone to look into it, but there’s no guarantee the investigation will be fruitful. After all, it’s been too many years. Also, according to what Annie told you, Mr. Marcus was the one who buried the matter in the past. He had always been cautious, so it’ll be challenging to find more evidence.”

Gwendolyn had already considered this possible outcome. “It’s fine. Just unearth as much information as you can. I’ll take her word for it if nothing can be found.”

They then entered the Federal Bureau of Investigation while holding hands to check out the statement Nico had recorded. Aside from Annie, Paul and his bodyguards were present as well.

Nico promptly handed Paul’s statement to Gwendolyn.

“He won’t admit he has anything to do with Annie’s crimes. As for the gun, he insisted that she had stolen it from his room. While it seems psychotic for someone to install a metal cage in their villa, there aren’t any laws stating it’s illegal either. Hence, we have nothing we can use to indict him.”

The man had yet to rest since he returned from the island, so his throat was parched.
