The parts of his arms and neck not covered by his sleeves were peppered with bruises. His skin was rough, and his beard was unkempt. Compared to the refined and sensual appearance he had once sported, he was like a completely different person.

If it wasn’t for that pair of uniquely blue eyes, Gwendolyn would not have recognized him.

Through the glass panel that separated them, Charles met her

gaze and picked up the phone.

Mirroring his actions, Gwendolyn brought the phone to her ear.

“Long time no see, Gwen. You look surprised. Have you forgotten me already?‘

Expressionless, Gwendolyn spoke in a frigid tone. “I didn’t come here to hear you reminisce about old times. If you aren’t going to talk, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Charles quirked his lip playfully and tutted. “How cold of you. You really do only care about your little pet.”

When he saw Gwendolyn make a move to put down the phone, he hurriedly added, “Okay, okay! I’ll get to the point.” He narrowed his eyes, his smile becoming twisted and strange. In a raspy voice, he said, “Gwen, although I’m in prison right now, I know better than anyone else that your current fiancé, Cedrick, is actually your former husband from Fairlake. He’s your beloved pet, am I right?”

Although Gwendolyn smiled coldly, she was slightly taken aback by his comment. “This is news to me. Where did you hear that from?”

Instantly, Gwendolyn’s expression turned serious as she slapped the table fiercely. “What else do you know? What illness does he have?”

Charles smiled eerily. “I know everything about him. Apart from me, I reckon not many are aware of this.”

“What do you want for your information?” Gwendolyn swiftly calmed down and regained her composure.

Charles applauded. “Quick to catch on as usual. That’s the Gwen I love. It doesn’t take much effort to converse with you.”
