Asher and Sienna were both caught off guard.
Nonetheless, Gwendolyn was the head of the family, and it was her prerogative to place her friend with
them for a day or two.
As the decision now lay in Annie’s hands, the three of them shifted their gazes in her direction.
In response to the attention, Annie broke into an innocent smile, while her face brimmed with
anticipation. “That’s a wonderful idea. In that case, I hope I’m not imposing, Mr. Asher, Mrs. Harris.”
Throughout the exchange, Asher barely spoke a word. He became a lot more reserved ever since he
recited the Heagurn Sutra for endless nights. The explosive temper of old was nowhere to be seen.
Sienna responded with a polite smile. “Since you’re a friend of Gwen’s, we’ll definitely do our best to
accommodate you. Which hotel are you staying in? I’ll have the bodyguard pick your luggage up.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Harris.”
Annie shifted herself closer to Sienna and held the latter’s hand affectionately. “I don’t have an elder
brother or sister, but you have treated me like family. It feels as if you’re my actual sister-in-law.”
With her hand held by Annie, Sienna eked out an awkward smile. “Don’t mention it. If there’s anything
you need during your time here, feel free to let me know.”
“Sure. Thank you, Mrs. Harris.”
Gwendolyn sipped her coffee as she quietly observed Annie trying to get into Sienna’s good graces.
With her mind focused on Annie, she barely registered the taste of coffee at all.
While Annie was occupied by her conversation with Sienna, Gwendolyn used the opportunity to talk to
Asher. “Over the next few days, your punishment will be brought forward to the afternoon. You can skip
the whipping for the time being. Instead, just kneel at the ancestral hall and recite the scripture. It’s a
good form of character building anyway.”
Asher was stunned by Gwendolyn’s words, for she had ordered him to stop his self-imposed
punishment a long time ago.
Why is she asking me to continue with my punishment now?
Unable to comprehend what was going through Gwendolyn’s mind, Asher could feel his heart break
from the former’s icy words and distant attitude.
“All right. I got it.”
Gwendolyn subsequently glanced at the time. “It’s already the afternoon. Shouldn’t you head to the
ancestral hall for your punishment already?”
Asher was jolted to his feet before leaving the villa without looking back.
He headed to the Harris family’s ancestral hall which was located inside Marcus’ old villa.
Upon noticing that Asher was going out, Annie attempted to stand up to follow him. “Where is Mr. Asher
going?”
Gwendolyn replied flatly, “To be punished. It’s a family matter, there’s no need for you to come along.
Just stay and chat with Sienna. Anyway, I’ll go and have a look.”
Then, she left the villa the moment she finished talking.
Meanwhile, Gwendolyn emerged from the villa and pulled Leif to a quiet corner to talk. All this while,
the latter had been watching over Marcus’ old villa
“What can I do for you, Ms. Gwendolyn?”
With her eyes looking in the direction of the ancestral hall, she calmly instructed, “Leif, I’ll have to
trouble you to keep an eye on the ancestral hall for the next few days. Keep watch outside whenever
Asher is reciting his scripture. If anyone other than Sienna comes over, call me immediately and report
everything you see in detail.”
“Understood, Ms. Gwendolyn. Don’t worry. You can count on me.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Gwendolyn reminded him, “Remember to be discreet and not let anyone notice.”
“Got it.”
Once her orders were issued, Gwendolyn turned and left. As she passed by the ancestral hall, she
made it a point to stop.
Outside, she could clearly hear Asher reciting his scripture in a hoarse voice.
A complex yet inexplicable sensation subsequently welled up within her. After quietly listening to his
recitation, she turned around and left.
When Gwendolyn brought Annie over, she was observing the latter’s expression the entire time.
Even though she didn’t manage to pick anything up initially, the clues were obvious after giving it more
thought.
Annie appeared to be particularly focused on Asher. Although she did display some warmth toward
Sienna, it paled in comparison to the concern she had for Asher.
Also, why did she mention that Sienna was like her sister-in-law instead of her sister?
Nevertheless, Gwendolyn was just speculating for the time being.
If she’s really Evelyn, she would definitely do something now that she’s here at Mount Tranquil. I hope
Annie isn’t going to disappoint me in the next few days.
With that thought in mind. Gwendolyn drove away from Mount Tranquil. Since it was still early, she
decided to return to Harris Group.
Recently, Harris Group managed to expand overseas due to its partnership with Dovil Group. Their
share price and profit also increased accordingly.
At the same time, Harris Group’s reputation overseas grew in tandem with its expansion.

On top of that, Gwendolyn was interested in investing in the domestic e-sports industry. Thus, she
planned to visit all the different teams in the afternoon.
When she recalled Jennifer being stressed out by her evaluation, she figured the latter would jump at
the opportunity to take a break.
With that thought in mind, she gave Jennifer a call and requested the latter’s company as she visited
the various e-sport venues.
The invitation caused Jennifer to jump for joy. Without any hesitation, she ordered the bodyguard
stationed at the door by Treyton to drive her to the address Gwendolyn had sent.
By the time she arrived hurriedly at the e-sports club, Gwendolyn was already waiting at the entrance.
“You’re finally here. Come, let’s go and see how good these professional gamers are.”
Filled with anticipation, Jennifer took in her surroundings like a curious baby.
Within the e-sports industry, those in their twenties were considered old. Hence, the venue was filled
with youngsters who were around eighteen to nineteen, the peak of their youth.
While Gwendolyn and Jennifer were looking around, the club’s professional gamers were playing
against another team as part of their training.
It provided the ladies with the perfect opportunity to watch the team in action.
The team consequently played well, winning eight out of the ten training rounds.
After enjoying the spectacle, Gwendolyn went to speak with the team’s founder alone.
“As you can see, Ms. Harris, our newly-formed team is currently made out of newbies. That said, they
are. the cream of the crop among the nation’s gamers. However, our club is currently short of funds,
while our players are lacking in exposure. If you’re willing to invest in us, we will definitely not
disappoint you. In fact, our target this year is to become the global champion.”
As Gwendolyn had plenty of funds to spare, what mattered to her was the club’s culture.
Fortunately, what she witnessed that day left a good impression on her.
Even during training, the team would encourage each other in defeat and share their joy in victory.
evidence of a positive environment.
Subsequently, Gwendolyn offered some suggestions for the team’s diet, accommodation, and training
schedule.
Just before she signed the investment agreement, there was one more thing she had to do.
She proceeded to call Jennifer-who was in the midst of getting some pointers from the professional
gamers-into the room.
“Jennifer, since you’re into this genre of games, do you think you can handle the job of managing the
team?”
The suggestion came as a pleasant surprise to Jennifer.

“Did I hear it right? Are you offering me a job, Gwendolyn?”
Gwendolyn gave her head a tousle. “You can put it that way. Since she’s bored stiff memorizing
information in the villa, a job would do her some good.
Given how much Jennifer loved the club, she agreed without thinking. “I would love to give the role a
try. I’ll definitely do my best as team manager.”
Gwendolyn added, “Don’t get carried away yet. Your course remains your ultimate objective, so you
should work hard to finish it. As for managing the e-sports team, it will be your job from the afternoon till
the evening. During the day, you can continue studying for your postgrad and after work, get additional
tuition from Treyton. Do you think you can cope with such an intense schedule?”
