The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 314

His Queen

Nico panicked upon hearing Gwendolyn’s voice. “Boss, it’s Ms. Gwendolyn.”

“Block the door and don’t let her in!” ordered Cedrick as he wiped the scarlet marks on his body away
with wet tissue paper from the table.

He scrubbed his skin violently, wishing he could peel it off.

Again, Gwendolyn shouted outside of the room. “Open up, Ceddy!”

Nico pressed his back on the door with a troubled look. “I can’t hold it much longer, Boss!”

“You have to, even if you can’t!” Dread flooded Cedrick’s heart. “Godd*mn it! Why can’t I wipe this
away?”

If Gwenny sees me like this, what will she think of me? Will she believe my innocence when the
evidence is stamped all over my body? I really doubt it. Gwenny won’t want me anymore now that I’m
soiled!

He was becoming increasingly frantic as his eyes reddened.

My condolences, Boss, thought Nico as he watched Cedrick teetering on the verge of breaking down
from anger. “I can’t hold it any longer, Boss!”

He stumbled forward as someone kicked the door open.

In that instant, Cedrick blanked out for a second before turning his anxious gaze to the restroom in the
private room.



Like a whirlwind, he leaped from the couch and scampered to his destination before locking the door.

He moved so fast that Gwendolyn only saw an afterimage when she stepped in.

Even though she was amused, she pretended as if she didn’t see anything. “Where’s Ceddy?”

Nico scratched his head, acting dumb. “Eh? He was just here a moment ago. I think my eyes were
playing tricks on me and maybe he had already left.”

“Oh? Why didn’t I see him on my way here?” questioned Gwendolyn at a higher pitch.

“Maybe he went to the restroom, which is in the opposite direction.”

“Isn’t there a restroom in the private room?”

At that moment, Cedrick, who was hiding in that restroom, held his breath.

He pressed his back against the door while silently scrubbing the kiss marks on his body away.

Even though he rubbed his skin until it turned red, he only erased the kiss marks slightly, D*mmit! What
brand is this stupid lipstick? I can’t remove it! Tomorrow, I’m going to bankrupt this-

Without warning, he heard the handle turning, followed by a knocking on the door.

“It’s locked. Are you inside, Ceddy?” inquired Gwendolyn.

Cedrick remained silent and ceased his movements, fearing he would be discovered.

As Gwendolyn pressed her hand on the thin glass door, she felt his heavy breathing, which was so
intense

that it caused the door to tremble.

Is he that jittery? She silently snorted and composed herself before speaking. “Did Ceddy drink a lot
tonight, Nico? Is it possible he passed out in the restroom?”

“That’s…” Nico was unsure how to reply.

With a grave expression, Gwendolyn stated, “Some time ago, I saw the news on the internet about a
drunk man pressing his head into the toilet bowl to drink water! Ceddy’s head is pretty big. He didn’t get
it stuck in the toilet bowl and drowned in the, water, did he?”

Nico almost couldn’t resist snickering. Hence, he had to cover his mouth to prevent the laughter from
slipping out of his mouth. Ms. Gwendolyn has such a vicious tongue! There’s no way Boss would do
such a thing, but it’s certainly an amusing scene to imagine.

In response, he gave Gwendolyn a thumbs up.

She shot him a look that meant, “It’s nothing special.” Then she continued to speak anxiously. “Call a
staff member here to unlock the door. Ceddy’s life may be in danger if we’re late for even a minute!”

Before Nico could answer, the person inside the restroom coughed.

Cedrick composed himself, pressed his Adam’s apple, and replied in the frigid tone he used two days
ago. “I’m fine. I’m not drunk, but I’ll return a little later. No need to wait for me.”

“I came here to drive you back to Harrick Villa, so why aren’t you willing to meet me? Are you this
ungrateful?” questioned Gwendolyn.



The response she received was a long silence, as though he admitted she was right.

She smiled indifferently. “Fine. I’ll leave.”

Upon hearing that, Cedrick released a sigh of relief.

Minutes later, he heard the sound of the private room’s door closing.

Another period of quietness ensued outside the restroom before he asked in a small voice, “Is Gwenny
gone?”

“Yes,” answered Nico assuredly.

Despite that, Cedrick opened the door slowly.

He lowered his guard completely when he saw only Nico outside the restroom.

Just as he stepped out, a figure hiding in the corner pinned him to the wall

Gwendolyn clutched his chin and swept her gaze past the kiss marks on his neck, teasing, “No wonder
you don’t want to meet me. Look at how many kiss marks are on your body! Wow, they look so pretty
too. I bet the meeting‘ must be lovely, Cedrick.”

Gwenny, I…” Cedrick went pale and couldn’t squeeze a word out.

Initially, Gwendolyn planned to tear his shirt away and mocked him further. However, she didn’t as she
was afraid she would push him too far.

Thus, she left the room without saying a word.

Just as Cedrick was about to chase after her, Nico stopped him. “Don’t worry, Boss! I’ll help you talk to
Ms. Gwendolyn!”

Without delay, Nico bolted out of the room and caught up to Gwendolyn.

They nearly couldn’t hold back their giggles earlier. Therefore, when they arrived at an empty
emergency exit, they guffawed.

Their laughter echoed in the emergency exit.

Nico laughed so intensely that he pressed his abdomen, which was on the verge of cramping. That was
the first time I pranked Cedrick, and it was so much fun! However, as entertaining as that was, I’m still
a little worried about him. “How are you planning to resolve the issue, Ms. Gwendolyn? Mr. Jenson’s a
stubborn man. If you don’t handle this well, he’ll become so furious that he’ll lose his rationality and do
something

extreme.”

Gwendolyn knew she shouldn’t take things too far, but she still wanted to punish Cedrick after recalling
the trouble she took browsing the internet trying to jazz up their love life earlier. Since I’m not planning
to let anyone use those things on me, I think they’re suitable for teaching Cedrick a lesson! I’m going to
be his queen! There’s no way I’ll be the first to relent!



The edges of her red lips curved upward mischievously as she gestured for Nico to come closer.
“When you return, tell him this…”

After listening to her plan, Nico took a few deep breaths.

He raised his thumbs at her with respect. “You’re indeed an expert, Ms. Gwendolyn!”

When Nico returned to the room, he saw Cedrick slumping on the couch with a dejected look. Even
though the latter’s countenance was pale as ash, he was still handsome.

Cedrick turned his lifeless eyes to Nico. “I doubt she’ll forgive me, which is fair. I can’t forgive myself for
having my body tainted, too.”

“You’re not tainted.” Expeditiously, Nico sat by Cedrick’s side. He removed a bag of makeup remover
wipes from his pocket and scrubbed the kiss marks on the latter’s body. “Ms. Gwendolyn handed this to
me. You’ll be clean again once these marks are removed.”

Cedrick remained unmoved. A dead look dominated his eyes.

Softening his tone, Nico continued, “I did everything I could to explain the situation to Ms. Gwendolyn.
Thanks to my efforts, she believes you didn’t betray her and were set up.”

That elicited a response from Cedrick. “Really?”

Of course! Although, she’s still furious because you didn’t tell her you had a meeting. She also said it’s
your fault for getting taken advantage of by staying with another woman alone in a room after getting
yourself drunk,”

Pursing his lips, Cedrick silently reevaluated Gwendolyn’s criticism.



The sight of Cedrick reflecting on his mistake amused Nico. The latter continued earnestly, “What did I
tell you? If you had relented, this wouldn’t have happened. In the end, she has an even better reason to
give you a cold shoulder. You shouldn’t have let a woman’s anger simmer overnight!”

|“Do you have any good idea?” Cedrick lifted his eyes.

Patting his chest, Nico assured him, “Of course! I have many quirky ideas, and I promise one of them
will quell Ms. Gwendolyn’s rage!”
