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!”

She then leaned in close and whispered into Sienna’s ear, “The preparations for tomorrow night are complete. All you have to do is play along with me, Mrs. Harris.”

Given how cautious Annie was being Sienna decided not to ask any further as doing so would only make her suspicious.

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

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

Annie simply watched her go without saying a word.

The next day, Gwendolyn took her own sweet time returning to Mount Tranquil after completing her preparations.

Because Asher’s legs were hurting, he never left his bed except to shower and use the bathroom. Sienna even had to feed him his meals in bed.

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.

“Sienna, Ms. Annie, please step outside for a bit. There is something that I would like to discuss with Asher in private.”

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

“What would you like to ask me about, Ms. Harris?” Asher asked in a hoarse voice.

“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.
