Gwendolyn’s eyes darted around, and she couldn’t stop blinking. “Maybe someone called by mistake.
Ignore it. Let’s take the medicine first.”
“By mistake?”
Cedrick perceptively noticed the panic in her gaze. Doubts rose in his heart.
The phone kept ringing as if it wouldn’t stop until someone picked up the call.
Cedrick’s face darkened as he stood up to grab her phone. “I’ll answer it for you.”
“No, it’s okay!”
Gwendolyn grabbed his hand tightly.
Her action aroused Cedrick’s suspicion. Why is she so flustered?
**
Gwendolyn realized she had overreacted. She hurriedly pulled him to sit down. “I remember now. It
must be the business partner from earlier calling. I forgot to save his number.”
Cedrick’s doubts didn’t diminish the slightest. “It’s half past nine at night. Who would call to talk about
business at this hour?”
“How would I know? I’ll answer it and ask.”
Gwendolyn put down the ss of water and calmed her beating heart before answering the call and
lowering the volume to the minimum.
“Hello. How can I help you?”
On the other end of the phone, Charles was taken aback, but he immediately understood the situation.
“Gwen, is Cedrick with you now? Oh my, did I call at the wrong time and interrupt your couple’s quality
time?”
–
After taking a deep breath, Gwendolyn looked at Cedrick, who was staring at her. She stood up, walked
to the balcony, and muttered coldly, “Just get straight to the point.”
Charles chuckled yfully and said. “Sure. Let’s talk business. Come to the abandoned factory in the
eastern suburbs of Salinsburgh before eleven tonight. You can bring bodyguards with you, but
remember this; only you can enter Room 302 on the fifth floor!”
Gwendolyn didn’t answer immediately. She turned around and nced at the bedroom.
Cedrick was sitting perfectly still beside the bed with his back facing her, seemingly lost in

thoughts and not paying attention to her phone call.
Covering the phone, she uttered in a low voice, “I can’t go right now. We’ll talk again
tomorrow.”

the
“Tomorrow?” Charles was disgruntled. “Do you know how much I went through to get medicine? There
won’t be another chance like this after tonight. I can’t give it to you again even if you put me in a high–
security prison!”
She could tell he was not lying on purpose from his tone.
After pondering for a while, she said, “Okay. I know what to do.”
She hung up and strode over to Cedrick hesitantly.
“Ceddy, I’ve got something urgent to do and must go out for a while. I will probablye homete.
Rest early, and don’t wait for me.”
Cedrick’s expression was as cold as ice as he grabbed her arm. “It’s cold outside. Besides, it’s
dangerous for a young woman to go outte at night. Why don’t I go with you?”
“Have you forgotten that I know jiu–jitsu? It’s not easy for anyone to get close to me. Besides, it’s more
dangerous for you to go out at night. Don’t worry. I will be back soon.”
Cupping his face, she leaned over to ce a peck on his forehead.
“Promise me you’ll take your medicine and sleep early.”
“All right.”
His expression remained solemn.
After Gwendolyn rewarded him with another kiss, she turned around, took the jacket from the coat rack,
put it on, and quickly left.
Cedrick stood on the balcony and watched.
After her silhouette disappeared from the courtyard walls, he turned around, walked to the bed, sat
down, and tilted his head to look at the box of medicine containing ten pills on the bedside table.
What is so important that she has to leave in a rush before helping me take my medicine? Besides,
she’s been acting weird today, like she’s lying. I think I heard a man’s voice on the phone earlier.
His suspicion drove him to call Nico.
“Find out what Gwendolyn has been doingtely–where she went during the day, what did

she do, and…” He went silent briefly before continuing, “I bet she is driving the Maserati MC77 from the
garage tonight. The te number is A04551. Check the surveince footage, find out where the car is
going, and have someone follow her.”
On the other end of the line, Nico was stunned and didn’t say anything for a long time.
“Nico?”
“Boss, did I hear you wrong? You want to investigate Ms. Gwendolyn?” Countless questions rose in
Nico’s heart. “Boss, are you sure you want to do this? If Ms. Gwendolyn finds out, will she think you
don’t trust her and get mad?”
Cedrick fell into silence.
Nico added, “You know how smart Ms. Gwendolyn is. It’s impossible to keep your investigation on her a
secret. I bet this will cause a rift in your rtionship. Boss, are you sure you want to do it?”
Cedrick hesitated.
I’m not sure… Gwendolyn said before that she hoped I could trust her forever no matter what and have
faith in her feelings for me. I should trust her!
Although he had such thoughts, Gwendolyn’s every flustered gesture tonight kept reying in his mind,
indicating she was lying, keeping secrets, and hiding something from him.
“Boss?”
After being in a dilemma for a few minutes, Cedrick sighed and said, “Forget it. You don’t have to
investigate. I trust her.”
He hung up the call. His gaze shifted back to the pile of pills. After taking them obediently, he went to
wash up in the bathroom.
Meanwhile, a Maserati MC77 pulled up steadily at an abandoned factory entrance in the eastern
suburbste at night.
Elven helped Gwendolyn open the car door.
Clutching her jacket, Gwendolyn turned around and ordered, “I’m going in alone. You guys guard the
door. If something goes wrong, listen closely to the sound of my movements.”
“Understood.”
Without wasting more time, she hurriedly entered the factory and went to Room 802 on the fifth floor.

Just when she was about to knock on the door, her gaze shifted to the corridor, and she was met with a
suspicious–looking ck figure approaching her.
She hurriedly took out her gun and quickly pointed the frigid muzzle at the figure.
Facing a threat, the figure stopped in his tracks immediately and took off his ck cap, mask, and
sunsses, revealing Charles‘ beautiful sapphire–like blue eyes.
“Gwen, it’s me.”
Gwendolyn didn’t put her gun away. She cut to the chase and asked, “Where is the serum?”
Charles was slightly displeased. “Gwen, do you really have nothing else to say except this? Why can’t
be thoughtful and ask if I was in danger today or if I get
hurt?”
you
She didn’t want to know any of that and would have stabbed him if it wasn’t for him bringing her the
serum.
“Enough nonsense. Give it to me!”
“All right, all right, I’ll give it to you. You’re indeed cruel to me, Gwen.”
As he grumbled while smirking, he straightened his back, pulled the ck zipper on his shirt, took out a
blue ice box, and handed it to her.
Gwendolyn took it, opened it, and examined it. A syringe the size of a thumb containing a blue liquid
was inside.
“What serum is this?”
“Gwendolyn, you’re so smart. Why don’t you find out yourself?”
Gwendolyn remained silent. She closed the ice box, turned around, and left.
Charles called out to her, “Gwen, when will you agree to myst two conditions?”
Narrowing her eyes, she said coldly, “We’ll talk after I verify the serum. You better make sure this is
real, or else…”
Her words were clearly a veiled threat.
Charles, who was not intimidated by her investigation, stared at her back and reminded warily, “Gwen,
you better think fast. The serum can only relieve the disease. Only I know which serum can cure
Cedrick!”
If you take a long time to consider and cause any problemster on, don’t me me for it!
