Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Pay The Price +15 Bonus “Kiddo, that’s a high–security prison.

Charles is a felon.

It’ll be hard to bring him out unless I bail him out.

” Gwendolyn knew that as well.

But does Charles deserve to be bailed out? She began to shower Asher with compliments.

“Asher, you’re the most capable man.

I know you must have a solution to this matter.

Don’t worry.

I just want to teach him some lessons to make his life worse than death.

After that, I’ll let you take him back inside.

” Asher fell silent.

He neither agreed to it nor rejected her.

Laying on his lap, Gwendolyn began to play the victim with tears in her eyes.

“Asher, you hit me so hard earlier.

Now that someone is bullying me, I can’t believe you actually don’t plan to help me.

My life is such a misery.

You don’t love me anymore, do you?” Noticing that she was covered in cold sweat from the pain, Asher hurriedly took a piece of wet tissue to wipe the sweat off.

Earlier, he had been so angry that he did not control his strength and hit her really hard.

Now that he had calmed down, he was filled with distress and guilt.

He would even bring her the stars if she wanted them.

“How could I not love you? I agree to help you.

” As her goal was achieved, Gwendolyn breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her exaggerated acting was not in vain.

“Thank you, Asher.

How long do you think it’ll take you to get him out?” Asher was about to say that he would have to come up with a plan first when Gwendolyn spoke before he could.

With a smile, she prompted, “Let’s do it today, shall we?” “Why the rush?” Instead of answering him, Gwendolyn held her waist carefully and said with a pitiful expression, “Ouch.

My butt hurts so much.

Show me some love, Asher. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

” Asher felt his heart ache.

“Okay, I’ll pause all my work today and prioritize helping you with this matter first.

I’ll have everything done before the day is over.

” “Oh, you’re the best, Asher!” Sighing, Asher tapped her on the nose.

“I’ll get Sienna to take you to the room to apply some ointment and get some rest.

I’ll call you when it’s done.

” “Sure.

” With Sienna’s support, Gwendolyn walked up the stairs with difficulty.

O 1/4 13:22 Fri, 2 Chapter 278 Pay The Price 444% +15 Bonus When she turned the corner of the stairs, she carefully glanced downstairs at Asher.

After making sure that he could not see her, she instantly switched back to her normal walking posture.

It was indeed painful when he hit her, but he had only hit her twice.

The pain had cased off after she massaged herself for a while.

Suppressing a smile, Sienna shook her head helplessly.

She knew her husband well and was aware that Asher could tell Gwendolyn’s visit was due to Charles.

However, Asher had indeed lost his temper and hit Gwendolyn, so he had to make amends to feel better.

Gwendolyn had taken advantage of his guilt to trick him into helping her.

The two women then entered the guest room on the third floor before Sienna closed the door behind them.

Gwendolyn was immensely grateful to her.

“Thanks, Sienna.

It doesn’t hurt as much anymore, so you don’t need to apply the ointment for me.

It’s too much trouble.

Let’s chat, shall we?“, Even so, Sienna was still worried.

“Why don’t we apply some? Otherwise, it’ll take at least two days for the swelling to go down.

You don’t want Cedrick to find out after you go back, do you?” Gwendolyn pondered for a moment.

She’s right.

Although I won’t sleep with Cedrick for the time being due to his illness, there’s a chance that he’ll notice it.

He dotes on me so much that he can’t bear to be aggressive toward me.

Despite his strained relationship with Asher, he has endured it all because of me.

If he finds out that Asher hit me, he’ll probably fly into a rage, sparking a bloodbath! It took me a lot of effort to soften Asher’s attitude toward Cedrick, so I’d better be more careful.

Asher had always been a man of his word.

In the late afternoon, Asher had several bodyguards send Gwendolyn to an unfinished building in the suburbs.

In a dilapidated room in the middle of the seventh floor, the muffled voice of a man was heard.

Creak.

The door of the old building creaked as it was pushed.

A piece of cotton cloth had been stuffed into Charles‘ mouth.

His limbs were tied to a wooden chair, and a black hood was covering his head.

Hearing that someone had entered the room, he stopped struggling.

The black hood over his head was removed, and the sudden brightness made it impossible for him to keep his eyes open.

After he got used to it, he saw who the person in front of him was.

A smile appeared on his face when he saw the indifferent yet beautiful face of Gwendolyn.

As soon as the cotton cloth was removed from his mouth, he said eagerly, “Gwen, you finally saw the light! I knew you would come back to me.

Hurry up and untie me now.

” Standing still, Gwendolyn raised her chin slightly and stared at him condescendingly.

Apart from iciness, there was only disgust and scorn in her eyes.

There was no other emotion in them.

2/4 44% Chapter 278 Pay The Price +15 Bonus Charles immediately sensed that something was wrong and looked around.

“It seems that you’re not here to save me.

You’re here to confront and punish me, aren’t you?” Gwendolyn took out a small transparent glass bottle, which was only the size of two thumbs, and carefully studied the liquid in the glass bottle with her cold eyes.

“I already know about his illness.

You are of no value to me now.

I’m not very happy to see you living a peaceful life in prison as a healthy man.

” Charles also stared at the glass bottle in her hand.

He had a hunch that the contents must not be a good thing.

He smiled.

“You got me out on purpose to kill me so that you can avenge Cedrick, didn’t you?” Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes.

“Killing you is too good for you.

You have to pray for Ceddy, though.

If he dies, I’ll make sure you pay the price with your life!” Hearing that, Charles laughed out loud smugly.

“It sounds like Cedrick is dying.

Am I right? That’s great.

After he dies, you’ll be mine! I don’t believe that you’ll kill me.

After all, we grew up together.

For old times‘ sake, there’s no way you would kill me!” “Ha, you don’t have the right to bring up the past.

” The look in Gwendolyn’s eyes gradually turned icy as she brought the glass bottle to Charles‘ face.

“I just got this from Kieran.

It’s a bottle of specimens that he used to study a rare disease.

I heard that the disease will cause the whole body to rot and be covered with malignant sores within a few months.

When it acts up, the person will be in so much pain that he’ll wish to die.

” Charles looked at her in disbelief as his pupils constricted.

She went on, “The only advantage of this disease is that it’s not fatal.

However, the pain is very strong when it acts up, and it makes one so ugly that they don’t dare to see anyone.

Many people can’t bear it as they have a mental breakdown and will choose to commit suicide.

” “You’re so cruel, Gwen!” Gwendolyn grabbed him by the collar of his prison uniform, her eyes filled with intense anger.

“Weren’t you cruel too when you harmed me and Cedrick with an RNA virus?” Letting go of her grip on his collar, she took two steps back calmly.

“Come in.

” Two bodyguards arranged by Asher immediately entered the room respectfully.

“At your command, Ms. Harris.

” “Serve him the medicine!” “Yes, Ms. Harris.

” A bodyguard took the glass bottle from Gwendolyn with both hands.

Retreating to the door, Gwendolyn leaned against the door frame leisurely, took out a wet tissue, and gracefully wiped clean the hand that touched Charles.

3/4 44% Chapter 278 Pay The Price +15 Bonus Meanwhile, Charles‘ jaw was forcefully grabbed by the bodyguards before they pried open his mouth.

He struggled but to no avail.

He turned to Gwendolyn, only to notice that her eyes were filled with ruthlessness and iciness.

Seeing that the bottle of medicine was about to be poured into his mouth, Charles shouted at her, “Gwen, don’t you wonder why I know so much about Cedrick when I’m in prison? Don’t you want to know my secret?” Gwendolyn sneered, unfazed.

“I can find that out myself.

After that, I’ll make sure they end up like you and live a life worse than death!” Realizing that she was determined to make him swallow the medicine, Charles finally showed a trace of fear in his blue eyes.

“Wait! I also know a way to cure Cedrick.

Don’t you want to save him?”
