Chapter 321 Gwendolyn Was Never A Saint

Gwendolyn was texting Elven because she wanted Shadow Bell to search for any woman named Kyliein Epea and Alendor who matched the description of Charles‘ mother.

Suddenly, she heard Triss‘ exclamation and looked up, only to collide with someone familiar.

“Sherman?”

It had only been five or six days since they last met, but he seemed to have changed a lot. Theconfidence in his eyes was diminished and replaced by diffidence.

Gwendolyn was surprised to see him wearing a waiter’s uniform. “Have you been working hererecently?”

Sherman froze, his face full of shame. He didn’t answer Gwendolyn’s question and turned to leave.

Gwendolyn called out, “We have been friends for so many years after all. have a drink with me, Mr.Ferguson?”

Would you like to sit down and

Triss could still vividly remember what the Ferguson family had done to Gwendolyn previously.

“The Ferguson family is no longer considered a prominent family, Gwendolyn. He doesn’t live up to thattitle anymore. Besides, he stopped being my friend the moment he tried to hurt you on behalf ofEloise.”

Sherman was originally standing at the door, but he turned to look at Gwendolyn instantly upon hearingTriss. “I didn’t help Eloise hurt you. Furthermore, she’s now locked up in the women’s prison. Don’t you

plan to let her off?”

Angered by Sherman’s words, Jasmine and Triss would have had an outburst if Gwendolyn hadn’t heldthem back.

Gwendolyn chuckled. “I wasn’t planning on meddling with her affairs after I sent her to prison. Now thatyou mention this, I think she’s having a rather easy time in there.”

Astonished, Sherman said, “I never thought you can be so cruel, Gwendolyn. She is just an ignorantgirl, and she has already received the punishment she deserves.”

Gwendolyn took a sip of juice and looked at him indifferently. She did not respond to his words.

“Why don’t you mention how malicious your sister is? She is already an adult, but you still claim thatshe is just ignorant. She is just a spoiled brat raised by your family!” Triss defended Gwendolyn angrily.

“That’s right!” Jasmine chimed in angrily. “You know what you and she have done during Eloise’sbirthday party. Gwendolyn was hardly harsh enough on her!”

Sherman felt utterly desperate.

It had been a living hell for the Ferguson family. They didn’t even have the money to bribe the prisonwarden for a visit,

Sherman’s mother, Emma, cried every day at the thought of Eloise suffering in prison, while his fatherovercame his pride to search for jobs despite his old age. However, none of the companies dared tohire him because Cedrick pressured them not to,

Their whole family now lived in a house of several square meters, and could barely make ends meet.

Sherman gripped the tray with his hands tightly to suppress his emotions. Then, lowering his stance, hepleaded, “Gwendolyn, if you still consider us friends after all these years, please spare Eloise andrelease her on bail. Our family will take her to the countryside, and I promise we will never disturb youagain.”

Gwendolyn remained expressionless as she replied, “Since we are friends, I will pretend that I didn’tsee you today so that you can continue working here in peace. Eloise got what she deserves. I amnever a saint, and I won’t help her even if I can.”

Triss immediately chased him away. “Did you hear that clearly? Get out and ask your manager to sendanother waiter over.”

Head hung low, Sherman concealed the unwillingness and resentment in his eyes and left the private

room.

As Sherman walked through the restaurant corridor with heavy steps like a walking corpse, he heardFrank, a waiter who was temporarily assigned to the private room complaining under his breath as hewalked past him.

“Truly a son from a wealthy family. He can’t do anything right. He must have offended the customersagain, and now I have to sacrifice my free time.”

Sherman heard his words clearly and glanced back at him.

Frank became even more annoyed. “Why are you staring at me? I didn’t say anything wrong…”

As the sound of insults grew fainter, Sherman’s face filled with despair.

With Cedrick making things difficult for him as well as everyone humiliating and mocking him recently,Sherman felt he was thrown with rather unfair treatment.

The words Eloise said to him before she went to prison reverberated in his ears.

“Sherman! I don’t want to spend my life in prison. Once I’m inside, the other prisoners will target meand bully me! I’ll live in misery forever!”

“The reason the Ferguson family landed in this state is because of Gwendolyn and Cedrick! You haveto help me kill them! Otherwise, I will no longer acknowledge you as my brother, and Mom and Dad willnever be happy!”

Besides, Evelyn came to replace him just two days ago…

At the thought of it, he headed to the kitchen. After making sure that no one was paying attention tohim, he discreetly took a packet of rat poison which was used to kill rodents from the storeroom andstashed it in his pocket.

Frank was about to enter the private room to serve juices when Sherman intercepted him.

Forcing an apologetic smile, Sherman said, “Let me serve the drinks. I feel terrible for upsetting theladies in the room just now. I want to apologize and make up for it.”

“Apologize to them? You’ve got to be kidding me. You’ll just mess things up again, and I’ll have to cleanup the mess.”

Sherman held onto the tray of juice in Frank’s hands tightly as he continued, “I feel bad for draggingyou

into this and resulting in you having to help me serve the customers in the private room. I’ll pay you mysalary for today as compensation.”

Frank was delighted to hear that. “At least you’re sensible. Go ahead then.”

Sherman took the tray. Glancing around anxiously, he then retrieved the rat poison before entering theprivate room.

Sherman’s hands were trembling uncontrollably because it was the first time he had ever attempted todo something so malicious..

However, at the thought of Evelyn’s promise, he mustered the courage to carry out the plan. Aftermaking sure that there was nobody else around, he turned his back to the surveillance camera and toreopen the packaging. Then, he watched quietly as the white powder dissolved into the juices.

However, before he could finish pouring the poison into the juices, someone grabbed his wrist.

Panicked, he looked up and saw Nico.

“What did you put?” Nico asked solemnly.

Several meters away from them was Cedrick, who was approaching with a grim expression. Uponsensing the murderous aura exuding from him, Sherman panicked and his fear of Cedrick was evidenton his face.

Recently, every time he bumped into Cedrick, he would end up getting brutally beaten!

In the heat of the moment, Sherman flipped the tray and splashed the juice onto Nico’s face.

Nico’s face was instantly covered in juice.

While he was distracted, Sherman struggled with all his might to break free and ran away.

“Go after him. If a weak and feeble man like him escapes from you, I will hold you accountable for italong with your other faults,” Cedrick ordered calmly.

“Don’t worry, Boss!” Nico shuddered. Then, he quickly chased after Sherman.

In the private room, the ladies were enjoying their meal and chatting happily when the door wassuddenly opened.

Triss, who was sitting closest to the door, thought it was a waiter and didn’t even bother to look up.“You’re finally here. Can you help me grill this beef?”

The man behind her remained motionless as he spoke coldly. “Helping you to grill the beef? Forgetabout it. I’m here to see my fiancée!”

Upon hearing the voice, they all turned their heads simultaneously.

Triss was so taken aback that she forgot her words.

Puzzled, Gwendolyn asked, “Why are you here? Have you come to join us for a meal after smelling thearoma of grilled meat?”

Cedrick felt disgruntled and replied in a sour tone, “You have all eaten, haven’t you? Why aren’t youconcerned if I’m hungry?”

When he didn’t see her upon returning home from work and after waiting for a long while, he felt angry.

Filled with anger, he stepped forward and scooped Gwendolyn up domineeringly without furtherexplanation. Then, he turned to leave with her in his arms.

“Let’s go home! I’ll personally make grill meat for you!”
