“Wait!”

Gwendolyn stopped the bodyguards and stepped forward. “Spill. What’s the cure?”

The bodyguards immediately let go of Charles and took two steps back.

“Do you really want to know, Gwen?” Charles licked his teeth and grinned wickedly as he said, “I can tell you, but you will have to agree to the three conditions I told you before. As soon as you agree to them, Cedrick can be cured.”

Gwendolyn frowned and gritted her teeth angrily. “You’re so shameless, Charles.”

“You flatter me, Gwen. Think about my offer again carefully. Moreover, I’m not inferior to Cedrick, either. If you’re with me, I will make sure you become the happiest woman in the world.”

Amused, Gwendolyn chuckled. “Cedrick is the richest man in Salinsburgh, not to mention his other titles as the CEO of Jenson Group, the head of the Jenson family, and the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Apart from having power and influence, he also outshines you in his looks and physique. Meanwhile, you are just a convicted felon and a prisoner. Are you even worthy of comparing yourself to him?”

Charles‘ expression darkened.

There was indeed a significant gap between him and Cedrick, but it might not be the case for long!

Besides…

“Cedrick doesn’t have much time left, and because of that, I’ve already won!”

His words enraged Gwendolyn.

She grabbed the pistol that was attached to one of her bodyguards‘ waist and pressed the barrel against Charles‘ forehead. “There’s no way I will ever agree to your conditions. I will end you right here if you don’t speak up immediately!” she demanded coldly.

However, Charles wasn’t afraid at all. His once handsome and refined face had now become rough and weathered.

“Be careful, Gwen. It won’t be good for any of us if the gun accidentally goes off. After all, Cedrick will die if I’m dead. I’m well aware that you can’t possibly kill me, so there’s no need for you to use this method to scare me.”

Charles was the one who held absolute control over the situation then.

Still pointing the gun at Charles, Gwendolyn scoffed, “You have no right to negotiate conditions with me, Charles. If you don’t speak up, I’ll have someone force this drug down your throat. It should make you suffer enough. Care to give it a try?”

Charles laughed even harder.

“You’re not going to use the drug on me, and you know why. If I really can’t stand it and choose to commit suicide, the way to save Cedrick will be buried with me in the grave. You will never know how to save him in your lifetime, and you can only watch him die helplessly. That feeling should be even more unbearable, don’t you think?”
