Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick)
Chapter 547 Such A Coincidence

Chapter 547 Such A Coincidence

After the joyful and harmonious time passed, Cedrick led Gwendolyn downstairs.

The door to the basement was opened. After a night of remodeling, the place had been completely transformed.

She stared at the interior in shock. The carpet was made of a unique material that was soft to fall on. Even the entire room's walls were covered with a similar kind of protective green paper. The place was no longer cluttered with miscellaneous items.

In the middle of the room, two sturdy leather sandbags were suspended from the ceiling, along with an abundance of tools for unleashing her fury that would not harm her.

The basement door had been reinforced with heavy metal, so it wouldn't be easy to kick open. However, in order to prevent Gwendolyn from getting hurt during her fits of rage, Cedrick also covered it with a layer of special padding.

A bed was placed in the corner of the room, and the quilt, pillows, and mattress were all of the softest materials.

All she could feel at that moment were Cedrick's love and thoughtfulness.

He held her hand tightly with their fingers intertwined. "Gwenny, sleep here tonight. I'll be waiting at the door the whole time. If you're fortunate not to have an episode, I'll carry you back to our room to sleep. If you do have one, I'll wait for you to finish working off your rage before coming in and taking you to the laboratory for an IV drip. What do you say?"

That way, Cedrick wouldn't get hurt, and Gwendolyn wouldn't have to torture herself by putting on handcuffs. That was the most promising method to try for the time being.

"I like this arrangement. Thank you, Hubby." She tiptoed and planted a smooch on his face.

It seemed like she could never get tired of kissing him.

Cedrick lifted her hand, staring at the bandage on her wrist with an aching heart.

He carefully kissed her bandage. "The sufferings will pass. No matter what, I'll always stay by your side."

Gwendolyn smirked and agreed with him solemnly, "Our sufferings will pass soon, but someone's torment is about to begin."

Her eyes gleamed with passion for seeking vengeance as she spoke.

After exiting the basement, she drove to Harris Group as usual.

Two days ago, she had sent many of her confidants to interfere with Annie's collaboration, so she reckoned it was about time she checked on the outcome.

What goes around comes around. It's time for someone to feel the agony of an impending doom now.

As soon as she sat down at her office desk, someone knocked on her door. Zion Yackley, who had successfully seized the project collaboration from Annie, entered with a document in his hand.

"Ms. Harris, this is the original partnership between Antea Group and TOA. I've been persuading TOA's person in charge recently and finally succeeded in securing the contract. Not to mention, they backed ou right when they and Antea Group were about to sign the agreement."

It was truly heartbreaking for Antea Group, as the collaboration they thought they could secure effortlessly was intercepted at the last moment before the contract was signed.

Gwendolyn was pleased. "You did well. Tell me the details."

Zion nodded respectfully and started recounting enthusiastically.

When he was done, he added, "That's about it. You should've seen the look on Annie's face when she walked out of the conference room. Her eyes were red from rage, evidently unwilling to accept that outcome. You really did her dirty this time."

She snorted inwardly. It's just one mere partnership. This is nothing. Since Annie's backer is Paul, I'll take down Antea Group and leave her with no one to rely on.

After being set up to be involved in a car accident, secretly plotted against, and getting hit on the back of her head with a stick, Gwendolyn wanted Annie and Paul to pay a dear price for all those incidents. Intercepting the collaboration and letting their company suffer monetary losses were only the beginning of her plan.

She also had to find out Annie's identity.

Gwendolyn grew more excited the more she thought about it. "Well done securing this collaboration. You may go to the finance department to claim the bonus you deserve."

"Thank you, Ms. Harris." Zion was unable to hide the joy in his eyes.

He quickly left the CEO's office and headed to the finance department to redeem his remuneration.

Not long after his departure, Gwendolyn's assistant knocked on the door and came in. "Ms. Harris, Antea Group's general manager has requested to make an appointment to meet with you in the next few days. Will you meet her?"

Annie was overseas at present, miles away from the country. Gwendolyn figured the woman must be exasperated, having to rush back overnight to deal with the mess after Zion snatched the collaboration that supposedly belonged to Antea Group.

That was also why Annie was in such a hurry to meet with Gwendolyn.

Wearing a cold expression, Gwendolyn replied, "No. Tell her my schedule is fully booked for next week and let her wait."

"Understood, Ms. Harris."

After her assistant left, Gwendolyn spent the afternoon working leisurely and comfortably in a good mood.

Elven, who had been investigating Annie's parents' detailed information for several days, finally made some progress. He called and sent the information to Gwendolyn's email.

She tapped on the keyboard with her slender fingers, accurately entering her email account password to check the faxed document.

It turned out that Annie's father was arrested due to an incident related to his company when Annie was in her teens.

The data showed that there was a spy in his company who committed financial fraud that led to a serious tax evasion issue. Subsequently, the person responsible for the wrongdoing resigned and fled, so Annie's father, as the legal representative of the company, had to shoulder the responsibility.

As for whether he was wrongly accused or not, the truth remained unclear.

After he was imprisoned, he went mad in less than half a year and was then transferred to a mental hospital. Two months later, he took his own life.

Annie's mother raised the young Annie on her own, working three jobs simultaneously to send her daughter to study abroad.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly died of cerebral infarction in Annie's second year of studying in Chanaea, making Annie an orphan. Afterward, Annie completed her studies with her mother's legacy and the subsidies from Ospea to low-income families with single mothers.

Just before her graduation in her senior year, she participated in an outdoor school activity, which involved going to the countryside to gain experience in farming that would earn her extra credits. Annie took part in the activity without hesitation and somehow ran into Paul, who was visiting Chanaea on vacation.

Paul fell in love with her at first sight and practically supported her financially. During her internship period, he took her back to Ospea and blatantly used his connection to secure her a position in Antea Group. The frown on Gwendolyn's face deepened as she read further. How could it be such a coincidence? Evelyn went missing in the countryside, and Annie happened to meet Paul in the countryside too. While pondering, she continued scrolling down with her mouse until she reached the last page.

A picture of Annie's graduation photo was attached.

Her appearance was similar to how she looked not long ago. Her outward form didn't change, and her countenance was even still as innocent-looking as before.

Aside from the graduation photo, there was also a picture of Annie participating in a dance performance at the academy.

Gwendolyn exported both images and quickly sent them to the company's professional department for inspection.

Five minutes later, she got the results.

There were no traces of the pictures being photoshopped; they were indeed unaltered.

So, all the evidence seems to be fine. If this Annie wasn't switched and was someone who grew up in Ospea, does that mean I've been overthinking? Could all these truly just be coincidences?

Even so
