Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 317

Chapter 317 Will Cedrick Counterattack Gwendolyn wanted to make Cedrick pay back, but the way he showered her with concern and gave her a massage made it hard for her to find fault with him.

The intimate session last night was so intense that Gwendolyn barely had any sleep.

She even failed to wake up the next morning.

Realizing that, Cedrick did not disturb her.

He made some oatmeal for her breakfast and quietly headed to the office.

As soon as Cedrick settled into his office chair, Nico walked in cheerfully.

“How did it go last night, Boss? Was my method effective? Ms. Gwendolyn calmed down, didn’t she?” Cedrick was all smiles after having his desires satisfied last night.

Hence, he was rather generous.

“You will get a raise and a bonus.

Go to the finance department and tell them the figure.

” Nico was elated.

“You’re the best! You’re exceptionally majestic today.

You’re my hero.

You’re-” A knock sounded on the office door before Nico could finish his flattery.

The assistant entered and informed, “Mr. Jenson, Ms. Evelyn’s here.

She says she must see you today.

” The cheerful atmosphere in the room was instantly ruined by the announcement.

Cedrick responded gloomily, “I don’t want to see her.

” Feeling a little guilty, Nico piped up, “Mr. Jenson is busy.

By the way, don’t grant her access the top floors in the future.

She’s not Rossi Project’s ambassador anymore.

” “Understood.

” The assistant nodded and opened the door to head out when someone shouted, “Move!” Evelyn barged in while the door was slightly opened.

The look on Cedrick’s face grew increasingly dark.

Without looking up, he stated, “Ms. Evelyn, it’s rude to barge in.

You’re a top–ranking actress who wins awards every year.

How could you not know such basic rules?” Evelyn’s eyes gleamed with determination.

“I was wrong to barge in, but don’t ungentlemanly, too?” you think what you did was Instead of explaining himself, Cedrick simply frowned and pinned a cold gaze on her.

Sensing something was amiss, Nico voiced, “Um… Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Mr. Jenson’s busy now.

Why don’t you come out with me so I can explain the matter to you?” “You?” Evelyn shot Nico a mocking glance before fixing her eyes on Cedrick again.

“That won’t work.

I want Mr. Jenson to give me a reasonable explanation regarding this matter.

” The disgust in Cedrick’s gaze was undiminished as he sipped on his coffee nonchalantly.

“Since when was I ungentlemanly?” With her heels clicking against the floor, Evelyn walked to the seat opposite him and sat down.

“I might’ve said something to upset you last night, but don’t you think you’re going overboard by canceling my ။ 1/4 Chapter 317 Will Cedrick Counterattack 51% +25 Bonus ambassadorship? My fans are now fighting on the internet because of this.

Not only that, I lost most of my resources recently.

” “No,” Gedrick answered casually.

“You knew I’m engaged, yet you had the audacity to set me up to make Gwenny misunderstand.

Since you have the guts to plot such a thing, then you should be prepared to receive your punishment.

” Evelyn was utterly confused.

“I set you up? When did I do that? I left when you told me to do so.

All I did was exchange a few pleasantries with Ms. Harris at The Honey Bee’s entrance.

Of course, I know my boundaries and spoke appropriately.

“,” She showed no intention of backing down, unwilling to bear the blame for something she did not do.

“Since my debut, I’ve never dated another male celebrity just to make myself famous.

Besides, I’ve always abided by the rules after becoming Rossi Project’s ambassador.

In fact, I won’t be that stupid to set you up last night, even if I wanted to.

It’s so obvious.

I just don’t understand why you’d misunderstand me,” she said frustratedly.

Cedrick frowned when he sensed the logic in her words.

He got drunk and was too nervous last night.

Now that he thought about it, he realized many details from last night made no sense.

Immediately, Cedrick turned to Nico, only to find the latter’s gaze glued to the ground to avoid meeting the former’s eyes.

At the same time, Nico slowly shifted to the door slowly in an attempt to escape.

“Stop right there.

” “Boss, I have something to do…” Nico’s nervous gestures confirmed Cedrick’s suspicion.

“It’s fine.

You can deal with it later.

” “Okay…” Turning to Evelyn, Cedrick said, “I’ll look into last night’s matters.

If I’ve wronged you, I’ll take back the announcements and restore your roles.

” “That’s all? Shouldn’t you compensate me after making me shoulder such serious blame?” Disgust flashed past Cedrick’s eyes as he growled, “Don’t have such a big appetite.

See her out, Robin.

” “Yes, Mr. Jenson.

” When the door closed behind the two, Nico fell to his knees.

“Boss, I’m innocent! I haven’t even informed the finance department about my bonus.

Please! I’m just an accomplice!” With the same icy expression, Cedrick asked, “Who’s the mastermind?” “It’s… Nico stopped and looked down.

Gwendolyn had told him to place the blame on her if the cat was out of the bag.

After all, Cedrick would do nothing to her, but the same could not be said for Nico.

။ O 2/4 Chapter 317 Will Cedrick Counterattack +25 Bonus Steeling himself, Nico looked up and said, “It was Ms. Gwendolyn.

The lipstick stains and words on your chest were all her doing.

I’only helped her to put on a show.

” Cedrick eyed his subordinate in disbelief.

A hostile aura enveloped the former, which meant it was the calm before the storm.

“Tell me everything that happened last night! Don’t you dare leave out a single detail or I’ll bring you to the interrogation room and teach you a lesson myself.

” Nico trembled in fear under Cedrick’s piercing gaze.

“Don’t! I’ll tell you everything, Boss! I’ll tell you!” Despite having sore legs, Gwendolyn slowly made her way down the winding alley to go to the garage of Jenson residence.

When she was halfway there, she suddenly sneezed a couple of times.

“Who’s talking behind my back?” Elven was her driver that day.

Eyeing her with concern, he asked, “The weather’s gotten colder recently.

Could you have caught a cold?” Gwendolyn waved her hand dismissively.

“No.

I’m fine.

It’s just…” “What is it?” queried Elven.

Gwendolyn thought about it seriously while strolling over.

“I keep getting a chill running down my spine.

This isn’t a good sign.

I think something major’s going to happen today.

” That left Elven speechless.

Since when did Ms. Gwendolyn ramble so much? “Stop joking around, Ms. Gwendolyn.

You must’ve gotten a cold.

Why don’t you stay home instead of going to the office today?” Gwendolyn shook her head in objection.

The two had just arrived at the garage door when Cedrick’s car pulled up beside them.

He wore a stern scowl on his face as he got out of the vehicle.

Oblivious to it, Gwendolyn looked at him in puzzlement.

“Didn’t you go to work already? Why are you back?” Saying nothing, Cedrick walked up to her and swung her over his shoulder before heading for Harrick Villa.

“Huh? What are you doing?” “Going home, I’ve got something to ask you,” came Cedrick’s frosty voice.

“But I’ve got to go to Angle.

I’ve got important work to do today,” Cedrick simply continued walking.

“You’re taking a day off.

I’ve asked Nico to replace you.

” “Nico? He knows nothing about the entertainment industry.

Can he do it?” 3/4 Chapter 317 Will Cedrick Counterattack +25 Bonus Cedrick’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“He can.

You should be worrying about yourself instead of someone else.

” You had fun setting me up last night, eh? I felt miserable for such a long time.

You even used a handcuff and a belt to teach me a lesson? Hah! I’m going to make you pay back today!
