Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 614 Finish Our Business

Gwendolyn, unfortunately, had run out of patience.

“In that case, I think you should head home first, Logan, Cedrick’s busy with work and won’t be free anytime soon. He has to work overtime till ten tonight, too. Tell you what, I’ll get him to meet Grandpa at the Jenson residence once he has knocked off.”

Logan was caught in a tight spot.

No. I can’t leave… I can’t go back without completing the task Old Mr. Jenson has given me.

“Mrs. Jenson, I’m here today because of what happened to Mr. Xander and Mr. Yael. Old Mr. Jenson already knows that Mr. Jenson locked Mr. Xander up with some thugs and caused him to be badly bullied. He hopes-”

“Logan, Cedrick did what he did to seek justice for me and Grandpa, and Xander’s merely getting what he deserves. Are you telling me Grandpa can’t bear to see Xander get a little punishment?” Alas, Gwendolyn had heard enough and furrowed her brows in displeasure.

“That’s not what I meant, Mrs. Jenson.” Logan replied as a sheepish smile crept across his face. “Old Mr. Jenson is a strict man, and he agrees that Mr. Xander has overstepped the mark this time. He has no

objections if Mr. Jenson chooses to hit or whip Mr. Xander, but he doesn’t think a family matter should be escalated to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Surely, we can settle this at home, can’t we?”

Gwendolyn leaned back lazily on the couch, her expression turning grimmer by the second.

Is this because of pride? Is Grandpa trying to keep the Jenson family’s internal conflicts out of the public eye and prevent Xander from getting a criminal record? Or is Grandpa worried that Xander might not adapt to life in prison and end up losing his mind or killing himself? Or could all these merely be excuses and Grandpa’s hiding his real

intentions?

Gwendolyn sighed and instinctively glanced at the small bathroom.

Oh, dear… I can’t help but feel sorry for Cedrick. He used to regard Grandpa as his most important family member, but now, even I have begun to suspect Grandpa’s motives. What if the truth comes to light one day, only for us to realize it isn’t as pretty as we thought? What will happen to Cedrick?

Seconds later, Gwendolyn looked away and lowered her eyes. “Does Grandpa think Xander can survive sixty lashes?”

“Mr. Xander has a weak constitution. Sixty lashes of the whip will undoubtedly cost him his life. However, the purpose of Mr. Jenson punishing Mr. Xander is to teach him a lesson and not to kill him. In that case, why can’t we be more flexible? Why must we follow the rules so rigidly?” Logan answered.

“Stop beating around the bush, Logan. Please speak your mind.”
