Elven nodded. “Got it.”

Gwendolyn retracted her gaze and glanced at the phone number Charles had written her. “Contact Shadow Bell

and have them investigate this number.”

“Understood, Ms. Gwendolyn.”

Meanwhile, Cedrick made his way into the living room of Valentino’s villa and bowed respectfully at him. “You

wanted to see me, Grandpa?”

Valentino, who was sitting on the couch, looked up at him from across the coffee table.

For a moment there, he almost didn’t recognize Cedrick when he saw him standing there in a wool coat.

“You sure have changed a lot after finding yourself a woman. I mean, just look at you! You look a lot more

approachable now!” Valentino said with a relieved smile as he eyed Cedrick from head to toe.

Cedrick simply kept quiet and stood there with a calm look on his face.

on,

“Go take a seat.” Valentino fiddled with the head of his cane with his wrinkled hands. “Actually, I summoned you

today because someone wanted to see you and ask you for forgiveness. I had no choice but to play the role of the

middleman.”

Cedrick had a little furrow between his eyebrows when he heard that.

Valentino cleared his throat and said, “Come on in.”

Wyatt stepped into the living room with a stern look on his face.

Sherman followed closely behind with his head held low. He had mostly recovered from the beating he received a

few days ago.

Cedrick maintained a cold look on his face as he elegantly poured himself a cup of coffee and gently blew on it.

Wyatt sat down on the couch in front of Cedrick and greeted Valentino with a smile before asking, “Hello, Cedrick.

How have you been throughout the past few days?”

Cedrick simply ignored him and sipped on his coffee. He couldn’t even be bothered to look at Wyatt,

Valentino lightly tapped his cane on the floor. “You shouldn’t be so rude to your elders,

Cedrick. Hurry up and greet him!”

“Why should I respect an elder who couldn’t even teach his son proper manners?”

“Cedrick!”

Sherman, who was standing next to Wyatt, got mad when he heard Cedrick insult his father.

“It’s fine.” Wyatt maintained a friendly smile on his face. “It’s true that Sherman was at fault for what happened

that day. As punishment, I have given him a beating at home and brought him over today to apologize to you. If you

find this insufficient, you may feel free to whip him to your heart’s content. I will not have any complaints, so go

ahead if you wish.”

He then shot Sherman a look, prompting the latter to suppress his feelings of shame as he walked up to Cedrick

and bowed deeply.

“I hereby apologize to you for what I did that day. I only called out Gwendolyn’s name because the drug had taken

over me. I have no intention of doing anything bad to your fiancée. In fact, I respect the relationship that you two

have.”

Cedrick let out a soft chuckle after hearing that.

He put his coffee cup down and shot Sherman an icy–cold glare as he replied, “You and I both know if you truly

mean what you said. There’s no need to put on an act like this, All it does is waste both of our time.” He stood up

and turned toward Valentino. “Is there anything else, Grandpa? If not, I will be on my way now. I still have a video

conference to attend tonight.”

1. 1.

Valentino was clearly displeased at how firm his attitude was.

Sherman has already come over and apologized to him, so why can’t he just let it go?

Even so,

Valentino simply nodded and said, “Go on, then. You are currently the one in charge of the Jenson family. You can

do as you see fit.”

Having obtained the green light, Cedrick turned around and walked away.

Refusing to be disrespected like that, Sherman called out to him, “Why must you be so unforgiving, Mr. Jenson? I

know I was at fault, but I didn’t do any actual damage to you or the Jenson family! Gwendolyn’s reputation isn’t

affected in any way either, and I even came here to apologize! Why can’t you just forgive me?”

“Are you saying that I must forgive you simply because you apologized?” Cedrick asked with a sneer and walked

straight out the front door.

Wyatt was angered by Cedrick’s stubborn attitude as well, but he could only say to Sherman softly, “Try to talk to

Cedrick again in private. Make sure to be polite, okay? I’ll stay here and

chat with Old Mr. Jenson for a bit.”

“Okay.” Sherman nodded and ran out the door.

It was drizzling at the time, but Sherman couldn’t even be bothered to grab an umbrella as he ran toward Cedrick.

“Mr. Jenson!” Sherman called out, but Cedrick ignored him completely and carried on walking with Nico holding the

umbrella.

Sherman then tried a different approach by saying, “If you’re so bothered by the fact that I said her name, then

why are you okay with her being married to someone else before? This isn’t the first time she has done it!”

Sure enough, Cedrick paused in his tracks when he heard that.

Realizing that his strategy had worked, Sherman quickly ran up to Cedrick and continued, “Regardless of whether

you like her or not, it is unwise to cut ties with my family because of her. The Ferguson family may have

encountered a crisis, but it has a solid foundation, so it is only a matter of time before we resolve the crisis. Why

won’t you lend us a hand so we can get through this sooner and resume our mutually profitable relationship?”

-Cedrick narrowed his eyes and exuded a dangerous aura as he said, “Nico.”

Naturally, Nico understood what he meant by that. He nodded and handed Cedrick the umbrella before punching

Sherman square in the face.

That punch was so powerful that it knocked Sherman to the ground instantly. The corner of Sherman’s lips was

swollen, and two of his teeth were loosened from the impact.

Sherman spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Cedrick in confusion. “M–Mr. Jenson?”

With one hand holding the umbrella and the other hand in his pocket, Cedrick walked up to Sherman and stared

him down. “Sherman, you’d better stay away from me from now on. Otherwise, I’ll give you a beating every time I

see you!”

“Why? Because I said a few nasty

i aboul Gwend,

stuff about Gwendolyn?”

A deep frown creased Cedrick’s brows when he heard that.

Nico nodded in acknowledgment and stomped hard on Sherman’s stomach.

Sherman curled

up

into a ball and clutched at his stomach while screaming in pain.

The look of displeasure in Cedrick’s eyes became less intense as he enjoyed watching Sherman suffer,

Lend your family a hand? Resume our mutually profitable relationship? I’m afraid that’s not going to happen ever

again! Working with a family that has a sc*mbag like you in it would be an insult to the Jenson family’s reputation!”

Sherman was furious. “Just you wait, Cedrick! One day, you will fall from that high and mighty throne of yours!

When that day comes, I’ll be sure to laugh at you to my heart’s content!”

Cedrick simply reached out and asked Nico for some cash.

Nico whipped out a wallet made of crocodile skin and began counting the money inside, but Cedrick snatched it

from him before he could finish.

There are only a few thousand in here. It’s not much, but… Given the state the Ferguson family is in, I’d say this is

plentiful.

Cedrick whipped out the bank notes and tossed them onto Sherman.

The banknotes were instantly wet from the rain as they scattered on the xo.com fast updateground.

“I’m a fair man, Mr. Ferguson. This should cover your medical bills. Feel free to make a claim with Jenson Group’s

finance department if this isn’t enough,” Cedrick said sarcastically before retracting his gaze and walking off.

Nico followed closely behind him and whispered with a smile, “You looked a lot like Ms. Gwendolyn when you tossed

those banknotes at him, Boss! You two sure are perfect for each other!”
