Chapter 495


    Cedrick thought about the time Charles took great care of the pregnant Gwendolyn back in Erihal to the


    extent that he was willing to be the children’s father.


    However, he was being extra careful. “This isn’t up to me. You should ask Gwenny about itter.”


    Charles pursed his lips and smiled while looking at henpecked Cedrick.


    Gwendolyn woke up naturally the next day since she was in deep slumber.


    She reached out for the clock on the bedside and looked at the time.


    It’s over ten o’clock. I guess Cedrick’s at work now.


    Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she sat up slowly. Suddenly, her phone rang.


    It was Jasmine.


    The moment Gwendolyn answered the call, Jasmine’s wails echoed through the speaker.


    “Gwendolyn, Craig kicked me out-


    Jasmine’s sobs rendered her breathless, her voice choked with continuous gasps and sobs. Whatever


    she said afterward was muddled and hesitant, so Gwendolyn couldn’t understand what she was


    saying.


    “Come to Harrick Vi. I’m still here.”


    More than thirty minutester, Jasmine arrived at Harrick Vi and continued to sob again.


    Gwendolyn stopped the two bodyguards who were with Jasmine from entering the vi and instructed


    Elven and Ezra to watch them.


    Then, she patted Jasmine’s back gently. “There, there. Don’t cry anymore. What happened?”


    Jasmine recalled what Craig said to her in the morning and couldn’t suppress her heartache.


    “Craig has changed… I don’t even know him anymore-” she said before trailing off into a sob.


    Then, she continued without hesitation. “He forced me to bring a bodyguard into Jennifer’s room, and if


    I didn’t do as he said, he’d whip me with a cane. He beat Charles up yesterday, and there was blood


    everywhere. I’m really scared, Gwendolyn. Please help me.”


    She nestled deeper into Gwendolyn’s embrace and sobbed with sorrow. The thought of what happened


    to Charles happening to her sent shivers down her spine, filling her with a deep sense of dread.


    -Gwendolyn furrowed her brows when she noticed something important. “Charles was beaten up


    yesterday? Why?”


    Jasmine stared at Gwendolyn in confusion with tears in her eyes.


    “You didn’t know? I sent you a message to ask for your help. Weren’t you the one who asked Mr.


    Jenson to


    save Charles?”


    The Tides Have Finally Turned


    Hearing that. Gwendolyn unlocked her phone and checked her message.


    Then, she looked at the time of the message and knew for sure that she was still asleep at that time.


    Cedrick must’ve seen Jasmine’s message and went to handle it. Charles should be fine now since


    Cedrick has saved him.


    Ignoring the matter, she continued to ask, “Did you say that Craig asked you to get a bodyguard to


    enter Jennifer’s room alone?”


    “Yeah.”


    Jasmine nodded innocently.


    Gwendolyn let out a puff ofughter, Is Craig really that desperate now? He knows how innocent


    Jasmine i he gave her such an important task.


    Jasmine held Gwendolyn’s hands and said sincerely, “Gwendolyn, please help me. Perhaps Craig want


    bodyguard to tell Jennifer something, just for a few minutes at most.”


    “Jennifer hasn’t fully recovered yet. There’s no way she’d listen to anyone in that state. Besides, there’s


    no way Craig’s intentions are that simple,” Gwendolyn replied.


    “What should I do, then?”


    Gwendolyn suggested while smiling. “He’s gone as far as threatening you with a cane this time, so it’s


    clear, you mustn’t do what he says. Why don’t you stay here for a few days? There’s no way he can


    beat you up here. Besides, I have plenty of guest rooms here, so it’s no problem for me.”


    Jasmine was touched but felt scared at the same time.


    “I don’t think this will work. Even if I can avoid going back for a few days, I’ll have to return sooner or


    later. When that timees, his anger might escte to the point where he could beat me to death.”


    Gwendolyn touched Jasmine’s face gently and said, “Don’t worry. Craig’s going to face judgment for


    what, he’s done soon. When the timees, he won’t have time to deal with you anymore.”


    “Really?”


    Gwendolyn nodded seriously.

    “What about the two bodyguards out there?” Jasmine asked.


    “I’ll have them go back to where they came from.”


    When it was noon, Cedrick rushed to theb as soon as Joshua called.


    Then, thetter handed him the dataparison sheet.


    “Cedrick, the serum isn’t produced locally. I believe it’s made abroad, and considered a banned


    substance. He must’ve gotten it from the dark web at a high price.”


    Cedrick had a serious look on his face as he listened to Joshua and read theposition inspection


    form.


    Joshua continued, “This serum is just like the local G7 drug, but the effects are worse than G7’s. It’s


    meant to inflict severe mental deterioration on its recipient, subjecting them to excruciating torment. To


    make matters worse, anyone who is hypnotized in that state would only be a puppet, devoid of


    their own


    will. Based on information on the dark web, those who have ess to this drug are generally overseas


    aristocrats who used it on their disobedient ves. If the ves wish to be released from the suffering.


    they’d have to obey in order to get the antidote. But the substances are too potent. Once it’s injected


    into the body, nothing, not even treatments, can truly repair the damage it has done to the nerves.


    There’s a huge possibility of side effects as well.”


    As Cedrick listened further, his expression grew colder.


    “Do you know what the side effects are?” he asked with a sigh as he thought about Treyton who wished


    for Jennifer’s recovery.


    Joshua shook his head. “Since it’s a forbidden drug from overseas, there’s no way of obtaining any


    about it here.”

    “Okay. I understand. Write everything you said as the diagnosis. Craig’s good days areing to an


    end.”


    Cedrick’s expression was terribly solemn when he walked out of theb.


    Nico, who stood outside theb while calling Summer, quickly hung up and dashed toward Cedrick as


    soon as Cedrick left theb.


    “How was it?”


    Cedrick looked like he was on the verge of exploding in rage. Without saying anything, Cedrick handed


    the report to Nico.


    Nico scanned the report and snapped, “Is he out of his mind? How can he bring himself to use such a


    potent drug on his own mother and sister?”


    Cedrick responded coldly, “He has be a monster from the day he started doing whatever he can


    to be the head of the Newton family.”


    Nico’s expression turned solemn as well. “So, what do you n to do with him this time?”


    Cedrick replied, “We must handle this ording to thew. Being the deputy director, his crimes carry


    even more weight, doubling the severity of his crime.”


    Before long, Cedrick reached his car in his big strides and made his way back to the Federal Bureau of


    Investigation.


    “It’s best for us to move quietly for now since he has control over two squads. Get Neville and Swain to


    lead the squad and prepare for an ambush around five hundred meters away from the Newton


    residence tomorrow. Summarize all this evidence in the report, including Jennifer’s proof of injury and


    his attempt to get Charles to drug me. With these three crimes pinned on his head, I want him to suffer


    in the interrogation room before he’s sent to the high-security prison!” Cedrick ordered Nico in the car.
