Chapter 311
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 311 Angry +25 Bonus Once Cedrick had fallen asleep, Gwendolyn carefully settled him on the bed and covered him with a blanket.
Once that was done, she quietly left the room to meet with Joshua.
âSince the lab has already obtained this blue serum, is it possible to replicate something similar or develop an antidote based on the serumâs components, Prof.
Mallory?â she asked.
With a serious expression, Joshua thought about it for a while before shaking his head.
âThe laboratory doesnât have any data on the components of the serum.
Additionally, I donât think itâs from Chanaea.
I have checked.
â He paused before continuing, âThe $404 RNA virus canât be treated with an ordinary antidote.
If Charles can obtain an effective antidote, itâs definitely not from our country.
Most importantly, it involves the core technology.
â It was only his speculation since he didnât see the serum with his own eyes.
Gwendolyn contemplated her next move.
Iâll observe how Cedrick reacts to the blue serum first.
Iâll consider handling Charles sometime later.
Cedrick slept for a day and a night.
When he woke up again, Joshua immediately examined the formerâs body.
Cedrick cooperated with Joshua, though his expression was icy, and he didnât even glance at Gwendolyn.
His body absorbed the serum well.
His atrophy and chest pain had vanished completely.
Furthermore, the spread of the virus had decreased significantly compared to before.
Everyone was delighted, except for Cedrick.
Just as Gwendolyn prepared to hold him after they returned to Harrick Villa, he dodged her and uttered, âNo need.
My body has recovered.
I donât need someone else to assist me.
â She watched his towering figure enter the villa alone, stunned.
Quietly, Nico approached her and comforted, âDonât worry, Ms. Gwendolyn.
Thatâs just how he is.
No one ever dares to force him to do anything.
What happened wasnât a minor issue, so heâs still hung up on it.
Heâll be fine after a few days.
â âI know.
â Gwendolyn entered the villa quietly.
Meanwhile, Cedrick went straight upstairs and shut the door to his room without uttering another word to her.
It upset Gwendolyn, but she said nothing about it and returned to her room.
The next morning, she was woken up by the commotion in the garden.
Upon arriving at the balcony, she glanced downward.
Cedrick wore a thin black shirt with rolled sleeves, revealing his muscular arMs. The morning dew was still present as he exercised, executing a set of slick punches, 1/3 Chapter 311 Angry His cold expression from the past had returned to his handsome face, making him seem distant.
Gwendolyn intently watched him work out and applauded.
Upon hearing that, Gedrick ceased his movements and entered the villa without glancing at her.
He swiftly put on the suit he hung at the door and left the residence.
This is the first time heâs given me a cold shoulder this long Gwendolynâs eyes followed him as he left Harrick Villa.
Casually, she folded her arms and grinned.
I want to see how long heâll last.
When Cedrick arrived at Jenson Group and sat on his office chair, he heard Nico panickily knocking on the door.
âCharles has vanished, Boss!â âHow?â âThe guard was drugged and brought Charles, who was barely alive after he was tortured, away.
When Neville brought people to check up on him during the morning, he saw the blood in the room had dried.
Based on that, he estimated Charles had escaped for a day already.
â A scowl settled on Cedrickâs countenance.
A random Joe wouldnât have been able to drug the guard protecting the special interrogation room.
The most likely suspect is someone working in the station.
âWhatâs Craig been doing recently?â Nico flipped through the attendance record and informed, âMr.
Craig has been busy taking care of Eloiseâs case to the point that he canât leave.
â Cedrick sneered, âThereâs nothing worth investigating in Eloiseâs case that requires so much of his attention.
â âBoss, are you sayingâ¦â A cold look swirled in Cedrickâs eyes.
âTheyâre brothers, after all.
However, it doesnât matter if he has escaped.
I was satisfied with venting my anger by torturing him.
â Charles is holding the secret to the antidote.
I canât kill him right now, and he knows this.
Thatâs why he wonât spill the beans, even if he dies.
When his train of thought ended there, he continued, âStill, Craig shouldnât have broken Charles free in the manner that he did.
Task someone to investigate the matter and whip up some evidence to punish him.
â âUnderstood.
â However, Nico didnât leave immediately.
Instead, he had an internal debate before asking, âBoss⦠When do you plan to reconcile with Ms.
Gwendolyn?â Cedrick remained silent expressionlessly.
In response, Nico boldly suggested, âMs. Gwendolyn hasnât gotten angry yet.
If you conciliate with her now, you can be all loveyâdovey with her again.
However, if you drag this out and wait until sheâs incensed to do this, it may become your faultâ¦â
Knitting his eyebrows, Cedrick hurled the cup of coffee on his desk to the ground, exuding a cold vibe.
Crack! Nico was so terrified that he paled.
Without delay, he backed away to avoid getting stained by the coffee.
O 2/3 Chapter 311 Angry ng my attention so ng my attention so âI still havenât punished you for disobeying me two days ago.
Do you enjoy much?â spat Cedrick.
Nico pleaded, âPlease spare me, Boss! Considering how obedient you are to Ms. possibly defy her?
Donât worry, Boss.
My heart is still on your side!â +25 Bonus Colyn, how can I With an icy expression, Cedrick interrogated, âWho will you choose the next time I have a conflict of opinion with her?â âYou, of course!â
exclaimed Nico.
Ms. Gwendolyn, course! âAnd if I argue with her and give her the cold shoulder, who will you help?â you persuade Ms. Gwendolyn!â âYou! I donât even need to consider my options.
Iâll definitely help Abruptly, Cedrick slammed his hand on the table.
âThen go to her right now! I want her to yield to me!â Realization dawned upon Nico.
He probably feels too embarrassed to please her just less than two days after he vehemently rejected the injection.
*Donât worry, Boss.
Iâll cherish this opportunity to atone for my mistake!â Nico stated flatteringly.
âWait.
â A composed expression returned to Cedrickâs countenance.
âClean the mess on the floor up before you leave.
â While Nico felt exasperated, he beamed.
âOkay, Boss! Iâll clean it up in two minutes!â âMhm.
â Cedrick reminded in a small voice, âDonât mention I said this if you know what I mean.
â âI do! I wonât tell her about it!â A few minutes later, Nico wiped the floor clean and returned to his own office.
Without delay, he called Gwendolyn.
17 The moment the call connected, he lamented pitifully, âMs. Gwendolyn! Mr. Jenson took his anger out on me and is going to deduct my salary! You need to stand up for me!â Gwendolyn was startled by his fake crying.
Itâs hard to imagine what expression Nico is making, considering heâs more than one hundred and eighty centimeters tall⦠Upon coughing twice, she replied, âIâll ask him to grant you a bonus in two days.
Well, did tell him what I asked you to?â you Nico wailed even louder.
âI did, but he refused to give in.
In fact, he even said he wants you to relent.
Maybe we should play along with him?â |||
