The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 376

Cedrick took a break before he picked up the last shot. Turning to Treyton, he said, “Mr. Treyton, I beat
you up even though you took care of me previously. I’d like to offer an apology with this toast!”

Treyton nodded calmly, projecting an air of magnanimity as if he were graciously forgiving Cedrick.

Cedrick finished the last shot swiftly.

To his surprise, it tasted sweet.

He savored the shot without any discomfort. It’s mellow to the taste. This is a light fruit wine.

Cedrick’s eyes widened in surprise as he glanced at Treyton. It seemed that he had comprehended the
Harris brothers’ unspoken message.

After the couple made it through the pain, suffering, struggles, and confusion, their future together
would be filled with happiness and satisfaction.

The shots also contained a subtle warning, reminding Cedrick that mistreating Gwendolyn would not be
tolerated, and the Harris brothers were prepared to subject him to such torment once more if
necessary.

Cedrick would have to shower his affections on Gwendolyn if he wanted to lead a peaceful life.

Having comprehended the underlying message within seconds, Cedrick gave the three men a grateful
look. “I know how much you all care for Gwenny. I, Cedrick Jenson, promise that I will never let you
down. Gwenny will be the only apple of my eye in this lifetime!”

His gaze shone with sincerity and determination as he gave them his word.



Asher gave a nod of reluctant approval, accompanied by a disdainful snort. “Remember your promise.
If you go against your word and forsake Kiddo once more, I’ll definitely end your life!”

He was acknowledging Cedrick, which meant that the latter had passed his test.

Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief and turned her attention to Kieran, who remained silent until then.

Kieran made no attempt to voice his stance. Evidently, he was not entirely satisfied.

“Kieran, won’t you say something?” Gwendolyn urged, giving him a look.

Cedrick passed Asher’s test. Shouldn’t you do the same?

Kieran ignored her cues, maintaining an indifferent expression on his face.

He got to his feet and straightened his shirt. “Since you’ve finished the alcohol, please come with me,
Mr. Jenson.”

Without hesitation, Cedrick followed him upstairs. Asher and Treyton also tagged along after them.

Gwendolyn was rendered speechless by Kieran’s ruthlessness. Kieran is subjecting Cedrick to many
obstacles before he acknowledges him, huh?

She rose to her feet hastily and was about to join them upstairs when Sienna grabbed her arm. “Calm
down, Gwen. Stay here with me, and let the men take care of the matter between themselves.”

Gwendolyn panicked instantly. “Are they planning to beat him up? That won’t do! They are skilled at
fighting and can pack a punch. What if they hurt Ceddy… No, I must follow them upstairs to take a
look!”

“Listen to me, Gwen. Even if they rough him up a bit, they won’t cause any serious harm. I’m sure they
won’t want the father of their sister’s children to be permanently disabled! Calm down and stay seated.



Everything will be fine,” Sienna reassured her in a gentle voice.

Despite that, Gwendolyn was still worried.

If her brothers were to beat Cedrick up, she would be upset and distressed.

Cedrick has been so obedient recently, and even I can’t bring myself to hit him. How could my brothers
beat him up?

Her palms became sweaty as she tapped her feet anxiously, waiting for the four men to come
downstairs.

Meanwhile, Kieran led Cedrick to his childhood bedroom in the villa.

The bedroom he once slept in as a child had undergone a transformation. As of then, it was filled with
medical equipment and surgical tools neatly arranged on trays.

The walls were adorned with posters depicting various human organs.

Anyone who came in would feel a chill run down their spine.

Even Cedrick, who had seen a lot, could not help but gulp nervously when he stepped into the room.

His mind raced with unsettling thoughts. Does Kieran intend to dissect me without anesthesia, then put
my organs back into my body so that I can experience the fear of a near-death experience?

He was still deep in thought when Kieran finally broke the silence by saying, “It was your mistake that
led to Kiddo’s unplanned pregnancy, yet she has to endure the pain of childbirth alone. As a
punishment for your carelessness, I have decided that tonight you will experience labor pain to the full.”

Following that, Treyton stepped forward and pulled the white cloth off a chair.



Beside the chair was a labor pain machine that Kieran had a hospital in the city deliver at the last
minute.

“If you refuse to go through with it or request to halt the experience midway, it’s fine. I respect your
decision,” Kieran added with a mocking glint in his icy eyes.

Cedrick met his gaze. There were no signs of fear in his obsidian orbs. “I’m willing to experience it. I
won’t call it quits midway.”

“You’d better think this through. This is just one part of the surprise I’ve prepared for you,” Kieran
warned.

Cedrick nodded without hesitation, his gaze firm. “No problem. Hit me with everything you’ve got.”

“All right. I hope you can continue to be this strong-willed later. Please have a seat,” Kieran instructed,
his eyes glinting with amusement.

Cedrick went over and took a seat, and Kieran hooked him up to the labor pain machine.

“The pain from level one is equivalent to being pickled by needles on the back of your hand or bug
bites. The pain from level four is akin to a hammer striking your leg. Since you have a military
background, Mr. Jenson, those levels should be relatively manageable for you. Therefore, we’ll begin
with level five directly.”

Without giving Cedrick any chance to respond, Kieran immediately pressed the button on the machine
to activate it.

Pain shot through Cedrick’s body without warning. Instantly, he furrowed his brow and tightly gripped
the handles, silently enduring the discomfort.



Seeing that he had gradually gotten used to the pain, Kieran increased the intensity.

At level seven, the incessant pain slowly spread through Cedrick’s limbs. Every inch of his body was in
agony.

The veins in his arms bulged as his fingers trembled. His complexion grew pale, and beads of cold
sweat formed on his forehead.

Cedrick clenched his jaw, still not emitting any sounds.

Right then, Treyton pushed a table toward Cedrick in accordance with Kieran’s order.

Asher had placed a pen, a notebook, and a printed A4 paper on the table.

While enduring the pain, Cedrick raised his head to give Kieran a baffled look.

Kieran explained, “This is the widely known Precepts for Men that has gained popularity online. I’ve
heard of your impeccable penmanship, so I would like you to copy the contents into the notebook.”

Cedrick glanced at the words on the paper.

Your wife should be your top priority. Take care of household chores such as laundry, cooking, and
cleaning. Ensure that your wife doesn’t have to deal with any dust… Be attentive to her mood. Never
raise your voice at her or insult her.

There were around fifty rules, so copying everything would take some time.

As he seemed dazed, Kieran kindly reminded him. “Mr. Jenson, you can choose to give up if you can’t
do it.”

Cedrick swiftly picked up the pen, indicating that he had accepted the challenge.



When he held the pen, his fingers were still trembling uncontrollably.

Kieran explained, “Women usually endure three hours or more of pain during labor. Including the earlier
prelude, you will have to endure one and a half hours of pain in total while copying Precepts for Men. If
you have any objections, you are welcome to raise them.”

Cedrick steadied his breathing and only managed to muster the strength to speak after several long
moments. “I only have to experience labor pain for one and a half hours, but in the future, Gwenny will
have to endure twice as much pain as I did. I have no objections; I will copy Precepts for Men.”
