    Chapter 294 Feeding Cedrick


    +35 Bunus


    In the living room of the Ferguson residence. Wyant sat on the couch, brows furrowed and eyes zing


    His fury showed no sign of diminishing. He closed his eyes, listening to the whipping sounds from the


    garden wordlessly


    Emma was clutching a handkerchief, her voice already hoarse from crying nonstop.


    Unfortunately. Wyatt was really incensed this time and took no notice of her pleas.


    As for Eloise, the p from the previous night had left half of her face swollen. It made it appear as


    though she had her mouth stuffed with food, which was quiteical. Her face was still wet with tears,


    and she looked rather pitiful.


    She had been kneeling on the cold, tiled floor of the living room for thest hour.


    Since she and Sherman were little. Wyatt had doted on them. Any little bump or scratch they had would


    make his heart ache for a long time. This time, however, he was merciless


    The solemn and unnerving atmosphere went on for another two minutes.


    As Sherman was hung up in the garden and whipped, his agonized cries gradually grew weaker. It


    seemed as though he would not be able to bear it much longer.


    Enduring the acute pain in her knees. Eloise shuttled over to her father on her knees and clutched at


    the hem of his pants Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pleaded with him. “Have mercy on


    Sherman! He can’t take much more. That b*tch, Gwendolyn, tricked him! How could you be so harsh to


    your children? You should help me deal with Gwendolyn and kill Jennifer!”


    He stared at her in shock. Enraged by her words, he yanked her hand away fiercely. “How did I raise a


    daughter like you? Not only are you arrogant and imperious, but you also defy thew and twist the


    truth. You’re also absolutely vicious, wanting to kill others at every turn. You’re a menace!”


    After getting thrown to the floor, she stared at him in stunned silence for a moment. Then, she chuckled


    coldly. “As if you weren’t the one who taught me all that. You were the one who told me I’d be able to


    progress more steadily and further if I handled matters ruthlessly. My only mistake was not doing that


    well enough.”


    “You!” Rage surged through him. He pointed a trembling finger at her, too furious to say anything-


    Eloise continued. “If my n seeds, Sherman may be able to marry Gwendolyn. She has the


    inheritance rights to her family’s fortune, so if she marries into our family, doesn’t that mean it’ll all


    belong to us? We won’t have to feel inferior because we’re rankedst among the four prominent


    families. I did everything for the sake of our family, so you shouldn’t treat Sherman and me like this.


    Besides, he didn’t know anything about it. He doesn’t deserve a whipp


    Wyatt snorted heavily. “As the older brother and pride of the Ferguson family, it’s bad enough that he


    didn’t try to advise you. However, he even caused trouble with you. He should get beaten to death after


    humiliating our family like that!”


    “Dad!”


    Wyatt simply looked away, unmoved.


    Just then, the housekeeper in the garden rushed inside. “Mr. Ferguson. Mr. Sherman has passed out


    again. If we wake him up and continue the whipping. I’m afraid it’ll mean the end of him. Please have


    mercy on

    him.”

    Eloise and the sobbing Emma were rmed when they heard that.


    Although Wyatt had a slightly conflicted look in his eyes, he did not say anything.


    Emma’s eyes shed with anger. She quickly grabbed the paring knife on the coffee table and pressed


    it against her neck.


    “Mom!”


    “Darling! What are you doing? Hurry up and put down the knife!”


    Wyatt and Eloise cried out at the same time.


    However, Emma did not lower the knife. Instead, she pressed it even closer, and a faint trace of blood


    seeped through the shallow cut it made on her neck.


    “Wyatt Ferguson! That’s our son whom I carried for ten months before giving birth to him! If you’re


    going to beat him to death, I don’t want to live either! You might as well kill me and our two children,


    then marry another woman and have kids with her!”


    “Okay, okay, I won’t continue with the whipping. Put down the knife, and we can talk this out.” After


    hearing her threaten him with her life, he finally relented.


    The housekeeper carried Sherman to his bedroom. Worried about him, Eloise followed them upstairs to


    tend to his injuries.


    Soon, only the couple was left in the living room.


    Having blown off some steam, Wyatt was now calmly smoking a cigarette.


    Emma was racking her brains for a solution. “At present, the only way to gain control over the


    downtrend in the stock market is to remove all the trending posts. As for Cedrick’s end, let’s wait for


    Sherman’s injuries to heal before sending him to the Jenson residence to apologize personally. For Old


    Mr. Jenson’s sake, Cedrick will surely let the matter slide. Once we’ve dealt with that sticky situation,


    thepanies. who terminated their coborations with us will surely change their minds.”


    Needless to say, Wyatt knew how to handle the situation. Cedrick is in a fit of anger now. We’ll only be


    able to deal with this in a few days after he calms down, so let’s not talk about that now.


    He let out a long sigh. In a steady tone, he replied, “If Treyton refuses to agree, removing the trending


    posts will be difficult. However, you saw what he’s like. He dared to call off the engagement in front of


    everyone,pletely embarrassing our family.”


    Emma fell silent. Treyton’s methods were a little extreme. It’s evident he’s just as furious as Cedrick, so


    there’s no way he’ll agree to that so easily.


    “Dad, Treyton doesn’t call the shots for the Harris family. It won’t work if he’s the only one who wishes


    to call off the engagement. Mr. Marcus has to agree to it.” Eloise had wiped away her tears and was


    descending the stairs gracefully. “You once mentioned that Mr. Marcus owes you a favor. If you meet


    with him and ask for his help, I think he’ll consider helping us to persuade Treyton. Besides, what do


    you think will happen if he finds out about Treyton and Jennifer?”


    Back then, she had used the same excuse to make Marcus ignore Treyton’s objections and insist on


    proceeding with the engagement. As far as I’m concerned, since Treyton and I aren’t getting married,


    the favor

    hasn’t been repaid yet. Hence, it’s only reasonable to make some other small request.


    Wyatt looked grim as he remained silent. Perhaps I’ve no choice but to set aside my ego and try that


    method.


    Over at Harrick Vi, Cedrick was awakened by the smell of oatmeal.


    When he opened his eyes, he saw Gwendolyn sitting beside him with a bowl of piping hot oatmeal in


    her hand. She was stirring it while blowing on it to cool it down.


    What a familiar scene.


    He seemed to recall that he and Gwendolyn had had a misunderstanding half a year ago because of


    Natasha. He had kneeled in the garden all night under the pouring rain. After Gwendolyn realized she


    had wrongfully used him, she also made oatmeal just like this and blew on it to cool it down. The


    only difference was that previously, she had viewed him as a target of revenge. Her eyes had been


    cold with no hint of pity. Now, her gaze was gentle, and her tender affection was evident in her every


    move.


    “You’re awake?” Setting aside the bowl, she propped the pillow upright and helped him lean against the


    headboard.


    His Adam’s apple bobbed as he asked, “How did I get backst night? Didn’t you say you’d wake me


    up?”


    Gwendolyn picked up the bowl of oatmeal again, continuing to stir and blow on it. “I had Nico carry you


    back. Seeing how soundly you were sleeping, I couldn’t bring myself to wake you.” Scooping up a small


    spoonful of oatmeal, she held it to his lips. “Here. Eat it slowly. Careful, it’s hot.”


    Cedrick was stunned for two seconds. Then, he opened his mouth obediently.


    “Why are you feeding me? Why the sudden attentiveness early in the morning?” It made him a little


    uneasy, and he could not help thinking something felt off.


    Gwendolyn lowered her gaze to hide the look in her eyes as she held out another spoonful. “You


    worked hardst night, so think of this as your reward, okay?”


    Her reply rendered him speechless. Those words can easily cause one to misunderstand. All I did


    yesterday was carry her! I’ve got to correct that response of hers!


    Hence, the pair fell into a heated debate about the term “worked hard.” The bowl of oatmeal soon


    became empty as she fed it all to him.


    Gwendolyn arranged for Joanne to handle thepany’s affairs for the day as she nned to spend


    the day at home with Cedrick.


    That afternoon, she loungedzily on the couch with her legs crossed, binge–watching dramas.


    Meanwhile, Cedrick had his head on herp while working away on his tablet.


    Suddenly, they heard the sound of someone knocking on the front door. It sounded very urgent.


    Elven was outside the door. “Ms. Harris, bad news! Mr. Treyton and Mr. Marcus are arguing in the


    ancestral hall, and it doesn’t sound good. You should quickly go back and check on the situation.”
