Jasmine pouted unhappily upon recalling this matter. “I heard from Craig that she’s sick, and it seemsquite serious. He didn’t want anyone to disturb her rest and recovery. No visitors are permitted, and weare forbidden to speak loudly in the house.”

Gwendolyn frowned and asked cautiously. “What kind of serious illness could lead to restricted accessto the villa? Have you checked on her?”

Jasmine shook her head. “What’s there to see when someone’s sick?”

Gwendolyn held her hand and tried to persuade her. “She has just moved into the Newton. residence afew days ago and has fallen sick. Craig is also making a huge deal about her illness. Aren’t you curiousabout how serious it is? Don’t you want to go and see her?”

Jasmine contemplated for a moment,

Truth be told, she was curious about it.

It’s only been a few days, and it’s so serious that Craig has to give orders to everyone at home. Is itreally some rare illness? But I don’t dare to visit her.

Thinking about how Craig would react if he found out, she shuddered and shook her head. vehemently.

“I don’t wish to see her. If Craig found out, he would kill me. I’d better stay put.”

Failing to persuade Jasmine, Gwendolyn had no choice but to let the matter slide.

After returning to Harrick Villa, she called Treyton again.

“I think Jennifer is seriously ill.”

Treyton stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock and anger. “What did Craig do to her? She rarelyfalls ill. I even accompanied her to the hospital for a full body check-up because of her filmingrequirements not long ago. There’s no way she would suddenly develop a serious illness!”

Gwendolyn patted his shoulder reassuringly, getting him to sit down.

“Treyton, calm down. I don’t believe it either.”

Cedrick sat at the side quietly, contemplating the situation as well.

“Craig has canceled all of Jennifer’s schedules. If she really isn’t sick, then it’s highly likely that he’simprisoning her on purpose.”

Gwendolyn giggled. “It’s been said that having an argument every now and then adds spice to your life.It feels surreal when we don’t fight.”

He arched a brow and smiled devilishly. “Then, why don’t we argue today? You can release some pent-up emotions.”

“How should we argue?”

Cedrick’s expression turned cold instantly as he uttered grimly, “Gwendolyn, it seems you’ve beenneglecting me lately. What’s wrong with wanting to sleep with my wife? How could you restrict me onthis? You’re heartless and cruel!”

Gwendolyn frowned and reached out to grab his ear.

“Ouch! Have mercy one me, Darling!

Gwendolyn ignored him and grew angry. “Cedrick, are you looking for trouble on purpose by picking afight? You’re speaking your true thoughts and complaining at the same time.”

He frowned and looked aggrieved. “I’m only giving an example. How could I possibly hold anygrievances against you?”

Gwendolyn snorted coldly. How could I not see through your schemes?

“You called me Gwendolyn just now. Let’s head upstairs for your punishment.”

Cedrick’s face paled. Did I miscalculate and dig myself a hole!

“Darling…” he whined with a bitter expression.

“Spit it out.”

Cedrick wrapped his arms around her waist and buried her head in her neck. He took a deep breathand replied, “Please be gentle.”

Gwendolyn suppressed a smile and rubbed the back of his head. “I promise to make feel good.”

She grabbed his tie, wrapped it around her hand a few times, and pulled him up seductively. “Let’s goand receive your punishment.”

Cedrick let her drag him domineeringly. She was like a drug that he willingly allowed. himself to beaddicted to.

It was around noon, and it only took a small fake argument before things spiraled out of control for thecouple.

Gwendolyn began sending out invitations for her tea party in the evening. The event would take placeat Gardens Hotel.

Treyton returned to the Harris residence on Mount Tranquil.

Since his father passed away, he hadn’t returned in a long time. He had been staying in one of hisproperties.

He hadn’t seen Asher in a long time and didn’t expect to meet him by his bedside.

Sienna brought him inside. As she led the way, she said, “He has a severe side effect from the timespent kneeling on the ground reciting Heagurn Sutra and refusing to leave even when it was raining.His knees ache every time it rains now. He can’t walk, and his voice hasn’t returned to normal.”

Treyton sighed as he felt a pang in his heart. “Evelyn was the one responsible. Although Asher was atfault, Kiddo didn’t really blame him for it. Why does he have to torment himself like this?”

A long sigh escaped Sienna’s lips. Sorrow filled her eyes as she said. “Forget it. It’s all in the past.There’s no need to bring it up again.”

Treyton nodded and followed her upstairs. Suddenly remembering something, he asked, “Is Asher stillreplaceing Evelyn? How’s the search going? Is there any news
