Chapter 609
Chapter 609 Waiting Is Not A Problem
He can onlyst two days?
Yael’s heart throbbed with pain. He could not imagine how his precious son was being tormented in
another cell.
“Cedrick, he’s your cousin and Dad’s grandson for goodness’ sake. You’re a heartless b*stard!”
As Cedrick emerged from the cell, he could still hear Yael’s faint swearing from inside. With a grim look
on his face, he continued walking along the corridor and pretended not to hear it.
Instead of returning to his office, Cedrick walked to the other end of the corridor where Xander was
locked up with a group of prisoners.
Just as an officer took out the key to unlock the door, Cedrick stopped him.
“It’s fine. I’m not nning to go in.”
He stood right outside and observed the condition inside through the cell bars.
Raoul and the others were sitting by the wall, some asleep, while others resting.
After scanning everyone in the cell, Cedrick-not wanting to startle the others-asked the officer softly,
“Where’s Xander?”
The officer took a quick look around. “I remembered him being ostracized by the others and ordered to
stay in the toilet at the back. Mr. Xander slept therest night.
Xander had always prided himself as the elegant son of the Jenson family and was a clean freak. Yet
now he had to sleep in a dirty toilet and did so without protest.
He has been spoiled all this while by the family. There’s no way he’ll behave if he isn’t taught a lesson.
“Mr. Jenson, would you like to have a cigarette?”
The officer pulled out an expensive-looking cigarette case and offered it to Cedrick with both hands.
Cedrick didn’t bother to look, let alone show any intention of taking one. “Send more men to keep an
eye on this cell. Make sure no one is killed or seriously injured. I’ll be back tomorrow.”
“Understood, Mr. Jenson.”
Kieran brought Inez to Salinsburgh a few days ago and took her everywhere in the city.
They visited thergest horror theme park in Chanaca and experienced many terrifying games.
The most thrilling ride of all was none other than its famous Ferris wheel.
Inez finally felt reinvigorated after a fun-filled couple of days. Never before in her life had she dropped
everything at work and had fun without any reservations.
On that day, she and Kieran visited the most luxuriousmercial area in the city which Harris Group
was located within.
Since they were already in the neighborhood, it would be rude not to drop by Gwendolyn’s office.
After shopping till they dropped, the two of them visited Gwendolyn with their hands filled with bags.
Gwendolyn, who happened to have finished a meeting and was taking a break in the CEO’s office, was
delighted to receive the engaged couple.
“You must be in a really good mood to have bought so many things, Kieran. You didn’t make Inez pay
for them, did you?”
“Do I look like a stingy man to you, Kiddo?” Kieran replied in a calm yet monotonous voice.
Gwendolyn covered her mouth to hide herughter. “I’m just worried that your cluelessness would
scare Inez away.
Inez, too, couldn’t help but chuckle along with her. “Mr. Kieran insisted on paying for everything. When
1 offered to do so, he took my bag away and just refused to let me.”
Gwendolyn nodded in approval and shed a thumbs-up at her brother. “Well done, Kieran.”
Thereafter, she went to the bookshelf to retrieve her equipment for making drip coffee. She wanted to
make some for her two guests.
Kieran quickly followed her and took the equipment from her hands. “Let me do it. It’s been a long time
since you tasted the coffee I made.”
Gwendolyn allowed him to take them from her without protest.
While Kieran was quietly brewing coffee, Gwendolyn and Inez were chatting.
“Since it’s such a rare opportunity for you to take a break, why don’t you extend your stay and return to
Faiketer?”
Hearing that, Inez turned to look at Kieran, who had his head lowered and was engrossed in making
coffee.
He had heard Gwendolyn’s question. However, it was clear from hisck of response that Inez had the
final say.
Retracting her gaze, Inez replied, “Sure. I have never been so free of responsibilities and had so much
fun before. Now, I n to continue our holiday for one more week before going back to Faike.”
Gwendolyn expressed her support. “That’s a wonderful idea!”
Inez took Gwendolyn’s fair and slender hands and invited her with a smile, “Why don’t you and Mr.
Jenson join us? I heard you haven’t had the chance to hold your wedding yet. You shoulde along
with us and make it a destination wedding. I’m sure it would be fun with all of us around.”
The matters with Evelyn had been resolved, and before that, there was the matter of Gwendolyn and
her manic episodes, which had taken a heavy toll on Cedrick. During the business trip to Astoria the
last time, they didn’t even manage to enjoy themselves,
All those reasons made Gwendolyn feel that she owed Cedrick a holiday.
However, Cedrick was now busy dealing with Xander and investigating the car ident that led to his
parents’ death. He would unlikely be in the mood for a holiday.
Gwendolyn came up with an excuse and said, “Forget it. Thest thing Cedrick and I want to do is to
be
third wheels for you two lovebirds on holiday.”

Kieran persuaded her, “Don’t worry about it. The more the merrier. We’ll only be going out together
during the day, while the evenings will be spent separately.”
Inez couldn’t help but blush slightly when she heard Kieran mention that they would have their own
time in the evenings.
“That’s right, Gwendolyn. It’s more fun going on holiday together. I’m sure Mr. Jenson will be willing to
drop whatever he’s doing to join you..
It isn’t just about his work….
Despite her thoughts, Gwendolyn did feel excited about the idea.
After pondering about it, she replied, “I heard Cedrick mention that he’s dealing with something
sensitive at work recently, but I’ll ask him about it when I’m home. If both of you can’t wait, then go
ahead without us. You should just enjoy yourselves however you want to.”
Inez and Kieran exchanged nces. Inez replied, “We’re not in a hurry. We’ve overexerted ourselves
over thest few days and need a break. Anyway, waiting isn’t a problem. It’s so much more fun going
on a holiday together.”
Thereafter, both parties continued with their idle chatter.
Making sure that they weren’t imposing on Gwendolyn. Kieran and Inez left after finishing their coffee.
Sitting in her office chair, Gwendolyn suddenly thought of the car ident Cedrick’s parents were
involved in.
Over thest few days, she could clearly sense how unsettled he was by it. In fact, he didn’t sleep well
from deliberating on the matter at night.
It would be great if I can somehow help him with it.
After mulling over the matter quietly, Gwendolyn decided to give Shadow Bell a call.
“There’s something I want you to investigate… And find out what Yael and his family were doing on the
day of the ident.”
Listening at the other end of the line, Yulia-currently in Faike-replied awkwardly, “Boss, the incident
happened twenty years ago. All the evidence would have disappeared by now. Besides, it isn’t easy to
track the movements of the Jensons.”
After a brief silence, Gwendolyn still insisted on trying. Just focus on Yael and his family’s movements. I
want to know what they were doing that day. Get it done as fast as possible.”
“All right.”
Upon ending the call, Gwendolyn fell into deep thought.
Yael has used the matter as coteral to force Cedrick into releasing Xander. I wonder how much
Grandpa knows about it. Evidently, not many people know the truth of what happened. Given that Yael
does, is he somehow connected
to it?
Gwendolyn turned on her phone and gave Triss a call to arrange a meeting with David.
Only by observing David’s reaction to the incident could she discern Yael’s role in it.
