Chapter 572 Gwendolyn Fainted

Annie patted her on the hand as consolation and continued, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Harris. I am simply helping you and Mr. Asher reclaim what rightfully belongs to you two while getting Antea Group a couple of collaboration projects while I’m at it. There’s no way I’d harm anyone’s life!”

“It’s getting late. You should get some rest, Ms. Annie.”

Sienna then pulled her hand back and made her way upstairs.

The chefs were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen when Gwendolyn arrived. She caught a whiff of the fragrant aroma of the food the moment she entered the house.

Sienna and Annie welcomed her at the front door, but she simply flashed them a cold look before heading upstairs to check on Asher.

“All right. Don’t take too long, though. Dinner is almost ready.”

“I want to know what you’re running away from.”

“What do you mean by that?” he asked, lowering his gaze.

“With your strong physique, it’s not possible for you to remain bedridden for three days straight even though your rheumatism was acting up, and yet, look at you now. You refuse to get out of bed and need Sienna to feed you every meal,” Gwendolyn said, exposing his pretense instantly.
