Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick)
Chapter 421

The conference room fell silent as everyone lowered their heads and listened quietly.

"I have already discussed this matter with Cedrick. He will notify the subsidiary to stop this project immediately. As for our side, we will make some minor adjustments to Synergy Project. Then, we can reintroduce it to the market after some time. That's the end of this meeting!" With that, she turned and left domineeringly.

Her heart was still pounding hard, and she could not even walk straight after she walked out of the conference room.

In reality, half an hour was insufficient time to thoroughly investigate the situation. Grace was only used as a scapegoat because Gwendolyn needed to control the crowd and put an end to the rumors. Then, she proposed a solution so that she could investigate and deal with the real perpetrator privately.

Perhaps she appeared too domineering just now, so none of the directors had fully comprehended the situation and were left stunned after her scolding.

With Parker supporting her, she quickly returned to the CEO's office.

Cedrick had already peeled and arranged some oranges on a plate to comfort and soothe her nerves.

When she walked into the office, Cedrick immediately got up and carried her in his arms. He placed her on the couch and fed her some oranges.

After she ate two oranges, he asked, "Do you feel better?"

Gwendolyn thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, I feel much better."

Upon thinking about the incident, she turned serious and continued, "It's vital to identify the masterminds behind this incident. Otherwise, they might try to cause trouble again, thinking they can get away with it."

"Okay, I understand. I'll prioritize this matter and provide you with an explanation by tonight." Cedrick's expression also turned solemn.

Gwendolyn arched her brow and teased him, "What if you can't provide an explanation by tonight?"

"I'll bear all responsibility, and I'll pay for all of Harris Group's losses. Also, you can do whatever you want with me."

Gwendolyn chuckled and stroked his face with her hand gently. She grumbled softly, "You act as if I don't have the power to do whatever I want to you without this incident."

Cedrick was rendered speechless.

"However, with this promise, you will be more motivated to deal with this matter."

"You're right." Cedrick agreed with a smile.

After a brief chat, they quickly went back to work.

Five minutes before the end of work, Cedrick got up and let out a heavy sigh.

"Gwenny, I found the perpetrators."

He placed his laptop on Gwendolyn's desk to show her the evidence.

Robert was the one who leaked the information.

He was resentful after being publicly humiliated by Gwendolyn a few days ago, so he sold the project proposal to Xander since he was involved in Synergy Project. Xander was not young, but he had not accomplished much. Yael had to beg Valentino for a long time for him to personally ask Cedrick to bring Xander into the company for training. Cedrick was worried about Xander working in Jenson Group, so he decided to place the latter in one of the subsidiaries.

He couldn't believe Xander could still cause so much trouble in the subsidiary.

Xander wanted to create a rift between Cedrick and Gwendolyn so the wedding wouldn't happen. In the meantime, Robert also wanted to ruin Gwendolyn.

Xander and Robert hit right off the bat and decided to join forces.

After hearing Cedrick's explanation, Gwendolyn's expression darkened.

"Robert is a b*stard. I won't let him off for framing me and selling the company's confidential information! He almost caused the company to lose hundreds of millions." Cedrick nodded in response.

Gwendolyn noticed he didn't say anything and asked, "What about Xander? What do you plan to do with him?"

He smiled and asked, "What do you think I should do?"

"This is your family matter. It's not appropriate for me to intervene."

Cedrick carried her and placed her on his lap. Then, he said in a serious tone, "You can give your suggestions. It doesn't count as interfering in my family matters."

If that's the case...

A devilish smile formed on Gwendolyn's lips, and she responded viciously, "I think he must be itching for a round of whipping! Also, I heard you sent Mr. Yael to a small company in the county. Since Xander's father is already there, we shouldn't leave the son here, right?"

Cedrick tapped her nose lightly and looked at her approvingly.

"I have the same thought as you. Could this be the telepathy between a husband and wife?"

"Stop talking nonsense! You're making me sick!" Gwendolyn pretended to be disgusted.

"Is that so?"

Cedrick hugged her tightly and looked at her stomach possessively. "You're pregnant with my child. Even if you're sick of me, you can never get rid of me!"

She smiled and pointed at her stomach. "Your two sweethearts are hungry. They want to go home and eat the food you make."

Cedrick immediately carried her up and corrected her, "It's three sweethearts."

The next day, Robert was removed from the board of directors. Gwendolyn even made a record in his file that he would be bearing a hefty amount of compensation to Harris Group due to him framing his leader and stealing company information in his company records.

With that, no large company would be willing to hire an employee like him.

Since he had enjoyed his career this past decade, it was time for him to suffer.

The other directors learned of the truth behind Synergy Project later on, but no one dared to say anything as Gwendolyn had settled the matter perfectly.

Gwendolyn grew more curious and excited as the wedding date approached.

"Ceddy, what did you prepare for this wedding?"

Cedrick was peeling an apple for her and smiled mysteriously. "You will definitely like it. I have prepared for almost half a month."

She leaned in and gave him a peck on his face. "The wedding is in two days. Can't you just reveal something?"

Cedrick replied in a determined tone, "Then, there won't be any sense of anticipation anymore."

All right.

Gwendolyn didn't insist anymore as she waited for him to peel the apple for her.

However, before Cedrick could finish peeling the apple, Elven appeared at the door, knocking anxiously. She cried, "Ms. Harris! Ms. Harris! Please return to the Harris residence with me now! Mr. Marcus is not going to make it!"

"Ouch..."

Cedrick's hand trembled upon hearing Elven's words, and the knife accidentally cut his finger. Blood instantly flowed out of the wound. Cedrick immediately hid his hand.

Gwendolyn's entire attention was on Elven. She stood up, opened the door, and uttered in disbelief, "What do you mean?"
