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 fullyprehended 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 te tofort and soothe her nerves.


    When she walked into the office, Cedrick immediately got up and carried her in his arms. He ced 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 exnation by tonight.” Cedrick’s


    expression also turned solemn.


    Gwendolyn arched her brow and teased him, “What if you can’t provide an exnation 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 ced hisptop 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 aplished much. Yael had to beg Valentino for a long time


    for him to personally ask Cedrick to bring Xander into thepany for training.


    Cedrick was worried about Xander working in Jenson Group, so he decided to ce thetter 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 exnation, Gwendolyn’s expression darkened.


    “Robert is a b*stard. I won’t let him off for framing me and selling thepany’s confidential


    information! He almost caused thepany to lose hundreds of millions.”


    Cedrick nodded in response.


    Gwendolyn noticed he didn’t say anything and asked, “What about Xander? What do you n 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 ced her on hisp. 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 smallpany 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 ofpensation to Harris Group due to him framing his


    leader and stealingpany information in hispany records.


    With that, norgepany 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 Projectter 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 identally 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?”


    Elven sobbed. “The heart rate monitor suddenly disyed abnormalitiesst night. The doctor checked


    it and determined that there wasn’t much time left. However, we will only know more details once Mr.


    Kieran returns. Mr. Treyton is already on his way back to Salinsburgh. Please go back with me right


    away!”


    Gwendolyn stood rooted to the ground in disbelief.


    Cedrick wiped the blood from his hand with a wet tissue and wrapped it with a napkin before tucking his


    hand into his sleeve. He walked over to Gwendolyn and held her hand with his uninjured right hand.


    “I’ll go to the Harris residence with you since this is an important matter.”
