Chapter 308 Gwendolyn Intends To Send Someone To Hell

Narrowing his eyes, Charles fixed his gaze on Cedrick before bursting out in a hysterical laugh.

“So Gwen didn’t tell you anything! She’s even hiding our deal from you! There’s no trust in yourrelationship with her.”

Cedrick’s hand shivered briefly, and the coffee scalded his fingertips.

“Why? Did I just call you out?” Charles was pleased with himself. “Hmph. You’ve done so much for herand have endured so much pain, but you’ll only end up worse if she decides to be with me.”

His insults had no effect on Cedrick. With his face still expressionless, Cedrick lifted his hand gracefullyto pick up a wet tissue and dry the coffee on his hand before applying a cold compress on his scaldedfingers.

“Not talking, huh? In that case, continue hitting him.”

On Cedrick’s words, Nico lifted the bat again, but just then, Charles yelled, “Okay! I’ll tell youeverything!”

Deep down, he was dying for Cedrick to replace out about the deal, which would only make things morefun for Charles.

“She has to renounce her engagement with you and marry me in return for the antidote. She agreed tothe terms two days ago when I gave her the antidote.”

Crash!

A shattering sound cut Charles off just as he finished speaking. Cedrick had smashed the pot of hotcoffee on the ground, sending the broken pieces flying off and the liquid splattering.

Some of the sharp broken glasses happened to scratch Charles‘ calf and cut open his skin, but hegrew more maniac when Cedrick lashed out.

“There’s no point in living for you, Mr. Jenson. You’ll have to lose her to me and watch me have her forthe rest of your life. I bet that’s worse than dying.”

Those words provoked a thirst for violence in Cedrick as his eyes shot red with blood and murderousintent.

When Nico sensed that Cedrick was on the verge of killing Charles, he stepped in and pointed atCharles, ordering the guards, “Beat the sh*t out of this b*stard! Spare none of the tools on that wall. Iwant him to be barely living.”

“Yes, sir!”

Since Nico had spoken, Cedrick found it unnecessary to say anything else and got up to leave theroom, with Nico following closely.

Behind them, Charles was still laughing heartily. “I feel so sorry for you, Mr. Jenson! By the time yourecover, Gwen will be panting underneath me! It’s going to be fun, so much fun!”

Cedrick clenched his fists tight, with veins bulging out on his forehead.

Watching Cedrick consumed by an impulse to exterminate Charles, Nico rushed over and assured theformer, “What he said might not be true. He used to be the head of the Central Intelligence Agency.

They’re all pros at getting into people’s heads, so take what he said with a pinch of salt. We shouldverify everything on our own.”

Over in the underground room, Charles could be heard crying in agony and laughing intermittently.

Listening to his spooky voice, Cedrick took a deep breath and steadied his gaze. Then, he walkedaway without looking back.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn spotted a small grey truck at the roadside when she arrived at the Fergusonresidence.

Beside it, Wyatt and Emma were loading their luggage into the vehicle.

From the looks of it, the family had dismissed all their housekeepers and bodyguards, leaving theonce–promising couple in the upper circle in a humbling state where they had to carry their ownbaggage. Gwendolyn was sure that Cedrick had ensured they paid for what they did.

When Gwendolyn’s Maserati MC77 happened to pull up beside the truck, the two vehicles formed astark contrast.

Having first spotted the car, Emma turned grim and asked, “Are you here to add salt to our wounds,Ms. Harris? Isn’t it enough that we’ve lost everything?”

“Don’t be rude, Darling!” Wyatt rebuked, eyeing her. Then, he turned to Gwendolyn and said kindly,“Our families go way back, so Ms. Harris is always welcome here. She’s our guest. She’s not here tocause trouble.”

Gwendolyn smiled at the tactful old man who had just spoken the right words to ease the

tension.

“Rest assured, Mr. Wyatt. I’m just here to see Eloise. I wish to speak to her privately.”

“She’s packing her stuff upstairs,” Emma said, looking more friendly.

Gwendolyn nodded and went to the mansion. When she reached the third floor, where Eloise’s roomwas, the door was found to be left ajar.

Pushing the door gently, Gwendolyn caught Eloise looking reluctantly at her luxury bags and jewelry.

Gwendolyn knocked on the door with her knuckles, then reminded the woman calmly, “You can’t takeany of these with you. The bank will confiscate them and sell them off to repay your family’s loan, soyou can stop mulling over them.”

Eloise looked up toward the voice, and her eyes were filled with hatred when she saw Gwendolyn.

“What are you doing here? Are you trying to put salt on my wound?”

“Of course. This could be my last chance to see you,” Gwendolyn admitted.

“I thought you’d at least say some nice things and play the good guy, but you’re always this blunt withme. I shouldn’t have gone soft and let you live back in Fairlake,” Eloise replied, laughing lightly.

Then, she dropped the things in her hands and stood with her chin held high before Gwendolyn as if toshow that she would never back down.

Gwendolyn could not understand her unrepentance and ego.

“Your parents worked hard their whole lives, but they ended up living in an eighty–six square feethouse in their old age because of you. Your brother’s good reputation is in tatters because of you too.None of the big companies dared to take him in despite his qualifications. To maintain a livelihood, hewill have to settle for labor work like being a bricklayer or a car detailer. How could you not feelremorseful when you’ve caused them so much pain?”

Eloise scorned her. “That’s life for them. They are my family, but they didn’t contribute to my endeavorseither. It’s their fate that they end up like this. Also, you might have defeated me this time, but don’t getahead of yourself. Someone will be coming for you, and I’m waiting for that.”

Gwendolyn approached Eloise and whispered, “By ‘someone,’ do you mean Evelyn?”

Eloise’s face stiffened as she stared at Gwendolyn without saying a word.

“I bet she’s the one who orchestrated everything during your birthday party, right,” Gwendolyn pointedout.

The truth was, she had long suspected Evelyn since the first time they met.

“You mean that actress? She’s nothing. Who is she to order me around?” Eloise scoffed, retracting hericy glare.

Gwendolyn was unconvinced. “You don’t have to admit to it. I’ll replace out one day.”

Speaking, she took out the printed evidence from her bag and read them aloud. “You drove under theinfluence of alcohol five years ago and hit someone dead. Wyatt forged a report explaining your mentalcondition and pumped money to clear you of the charge, but dissatisfied with the verdict, the victim’sfamily condemned you online. After discovering this, you had your bodyguards teach two of the familymembers a lesson, leaving them deeply injured. Wyatt then interfered again to quell the issue.”

Eloise stared at Gwendolyn with her eyes wide like saucers. “How did you know?”

Gwendolyn ignored her question and continued, “Four years ago, you were offended by a waiter youclaimed to be rude at a socialite party, so you beat him to a pulp. That guy ended up

with several comminuted fractures. In the same year, you-

“That’s enough!” Snarling, Eloise snatched the document from Gwendolyn and ripped everything topieces. “It’s your words against mine. I’m not admitting to any of these charges!”

Gwendolyn folded her arms and curved her red lips into a smile at Eloise’s reaction. “Say that againwhen you’re behind bars.”

Eloise felt a chill down her spine, realizing things could be worse than she expected.

“W–What do you mean?”

Just as she spoke, a commotion broke out from downstairs.
