Chapter 472 Is Boss Strapped For Cash
The four troops retreated to their headquarters.
Gwendolyn and Cedrick, apanied by Nico, who carried Jennifer on his back, hastened their return
to the Harrick Vi. Treyton and Summer had been waiting at the entrance for a while.
Upon learning about their n. Treyton paced back and forth at the door restlessly, resembling a cat on
a tin roof.
Summer found a chair and sat down, keeping Treytonpany by the entrance.
The surroundings were enveloped in darkness, and the vi’s entrance was illuminated by the faint
glow of streetlights, casting long, slender shadows of Treyton.
Summer could not stay silent anymore. “Mr. Treyton, can you please settle down for a moment? You’re
making me dizzy. Why don’t you take a seat for a while?”
Treyton paid no attention to her and continued his restless back-and-forth movement.
The night had grown considerablyte.
With no news from Gwendolyn, Treyton could not help but wonder if everything was going ording to
n. At this juncture, how does she expect me to sit still?
Summer, unable to persuade him, shook her head in resignation. She could only keep himpany
out of boredom while waiting for Nico.
After some time, the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance reached their ears.
Treyton turned his head, and even in the dim light outside, his gaze was immediately drawn to Jennifer.
who was being carried on Nico’s back. “Jennifer?”
With a sense of urgency, he rushed over and decisively took her from Nico, holding her tightly in his
arms.
As Treyton observed her pale face and the dark red bruises that stood out on her wrists and neck, his
eyes turned red. He looked at Gwendolyn and asked, “Kiddo, what happened? Is she injured?”
Gwendolyn sighed. “Let’s go in first. It’s not appropriate to discuss it here.”
Treyton nodded in response. He carried Jennifer and hurriedly made his way to Harrick Vi
The other three followed behind closely.
Two minutester, Treyton learned about the full story from Gwendolyn.
Bang!
The sound of a table being pounded resonated from inside the vi, startling the birds perched on the
trees in the garden
Treyton’s anger surged, his eyes filled with redness as he wished to teach Craig a lesson. “How could
he imprison his own sister? He’s nothing but a monster!”
The atmosphere in the living room grew exceptionally heavy.
Jennifer was settled in one of the guest rooms, and Summer took care of her, assisting her in changing
into fresh clothes and tending to her body.
Gwendolyn and Nico maintained a serious demeanor, their gazes lowered.
Cedrick’s lips twitched as he coldly interrupted the solemn atmosphere. “You know, this coffee table,
crafted from delicate crystal ss, was imported all the way from Yartran. Anyone, including family
members, who breaks it will have to pay full price for it.”
Gwendolyn, Treyton, and Nico were bereft of words upon hearing that.
Still visibly affected by the shock. Treyton looked incredulously at Cedrick with his bloodshot eyes.
“Jennifer and I are facing such a difficult situation, yet you’re concerned about the cost of a crystal
coffee table?”
Nico rubbed his nose and chimed in, “Cedrick, you seem a bit strapped for cashtely. Did you get
yourself into some mischief that led to Gwendolyn deducting your allowance?”
This time, it was Gwendolyn who did not know what to say. She looked at Cedrick, her eyes reflecting a
mix of curiosity and questioning.
Facing the collective gaze of the three, Cedrick maintained hisposure and exined, “I’m only
saying that because Gwenny has a particr fondness for this new coffee table. Even a single crack
would be uneptable in her eyes.
There was a subtle change in the atmosphere in the living hall.
Gwendolyn chuckled and exchanged a knowing look with Cedrick as she could understand why he said
that.
Upon sensing Treyton’s anger and the potential for him to act impulsively like what happened thest
time, Cedrick intentionally diverted the conversation, aiming to lighten the atmosphere and mitigate his
animosity toward Craig.
Satisfied, Gwendolyn curved her lips into a faint smile. He’s bing more and more attentive notes
She turned around to look at Treyton. Upon catching sight of the improved expression on his face, she
steered the discussion back on track. “Treyton, it appears that Jennifer may be facing some mental
challenges that necessitate professional intervention Craig will be closely monitoring her, so it’s crucial
that we art swiftly to facilitate her recovery and restore her to a stable state. Once she has made
substantial progress, we should arrange for an ofta al psychiatric evaluation at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. This step will enable us to uncover the full extent of Craig’s actions and ensure he is held
ountable for his crime
Treyton nodded, affirming his agreement with the proposed course of action.
Gwendolyn further added “Considering the circumstances, I propose that Jennifer stays at Harrick Vi
during this period”
On that matter, Treyton did not agree night away “Keddo, can I bring her back so that I can look after
her!
His heart was overwhelmed with guilt, especially seeing how Craig had tortured Jennifer to the point
where she was barely recognizable.
The inability to do something for Jennifer weighed on Treyton, suffocating him with guilt.
Gwendolyn sympathized with Treyton’s guilt and understood his desire to make amends for Jennifer.
However, the situation prevented him from taking direct action.
She carefully exined. “No. Treyton. Craig will do everything possible to avoid taking responsibility. If
Cedrick questions him, he’s unlikely to divulge much. considering Cedrick his superior. We need to
allow more time for Jennifer’s treatment. If Craig finds out you’ve brought her back, the situation will
escte rapidly.
The Abbot family had yet to call off the engagement, so technically. Jennifer was still Remus fiancée.
Treyton had no reason to keep her in his vi.
It would be difficult for him to exin to Craig if thetter found out about it.
Moreover, even if the Abbot family decided to call off the engagement, it would be inappropriate for
Jennifer to stay in Treyton’s vi.
However, it would not be a problem if Jennifer stayed at the Harrick Vi. After all, Gwendolyn and
Jennifer were close friends.
Having regained his rationality. Treyton understood Gwendolyn’s intention and decided topromise.
“All right. But can I also impose on all of you for a few days?”
Gwendolyn’s gaze shifted toward Cedrick, and their eyes met, creating a moment of silence as neither
of them responded immediately.
Even Treyton was a little abrupt with his request. “I won’t be a burden to you guys. I can help with
household chores, cook for you, and even pay ten times the market price for amodation and food
expenses.”

Gwendolyn chuckled and said, “You’re quite the joker. Treyton. When a brother visits his sister, there’s
no need to pay for anything!”
Treyton said, “I should do my part! Cedrick is already taking care of everything, including cooking and
house chores, and now he has to look after Jennifer and me as well”
His response left Cedrick speechless.
The atmosphere in the living room gradually became harmonious as they reached a consensus
regarding Jennifers amodation.
Gwendolyn asked another question, “How’s everything at the Abbot family?”
Treyton replied in a serious tone, I gave Remus a day to think about it. He should be able to give me an
answer by tomorrow morning Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be good news.”
“I’m d to hear that Gwendolyn nodded, heaving a sigh of relief.
With each passing moment, the path forward became clearer, and it seemed that everything was
gradually falling into ce.
While they were lost in their thoughts, a piercing scream echoed from the upstairs guest room, abruptly
breaking the silence.
It was Summer’s voice!
Next, they heard Summer crying for help. “Nico! Mr. Jenson! She looks scary! I can’t control her!”
Treyton sprang to his feet and raced upstairs while Gwendolyn and Cedrick followed suit.
As they entered the guest room, a strong metallic scent filled the air.
Summery sprawled on the carpet. The once immacte sheets were now drenched in a deep
crimson.
Treyton’s gaze moved upward, and as he witnessed Jennifer’s actions, his heart skipped a beat, and
his breath caught in his throat.
