Chapter 581 Take My Side

Since Asher was willing to be of assistance, Gwendolyn softened her tone and reminded him solemnly, “I’ll leave this matter to you since you have accepted my decision. If Annie and Paul escape, I’ll treat your failure as an implicit attempt to help her.”

Gwendolyn was well aware of Asher’s capabilities. He might have left his position for a year and not dealt with anything related to work, but the network he had built up was undeniably powerful. He could get the job done as long as he wanted to.

That was the reason why she had stated her expectations upfront. She wasn’t going to accept any excuses in the event Annie and Paul were to slip through their hands. In fact, she was prepared to pin the blame on Asher for it.

“I understand. I’ll get it done right away.” Asher nodded in acknowledgment.

As there were two to three more hours to spare before the flight at eleven, all Gwendolyn had to do now

was wait.

With an outstretched hand, she gestured for Asher to return the DNA test report to her.

After handing it over, Asher picked up his phone and got to work.

In order to give him space to deal with the matter, Gwendolyn left the master bedroom and returned downstairs. There, she chatted with Sienna and Inez about Annie’s matter.

Meanwhile, Cedrick returned to the Jenson residence after dropping Gwendolyn off.

Despite the fact that it was getting late, the living room was still filled with members of the Jenson family. None of them dared to leave, as Valentino was still unconscious and under a drip.

Instead of entering the living room, Cedrick walked into the garden steadily instead. From outside, he could observe everyone’s expression through the window.

Logan and Nico were standing behind him. He asked. “Xander was the last person Grandpa saw before he fainted. I heard that he cried on his knees in front of Grandpa. Why isn’t he here? Where is he now?”

Logan was slightly stunned. “Mr. Xander has been in the living room after Mrs. Jenson chased him out of the room. I even sent two men to keep an eye on him. Perhaps he has gone to use the bathroom. I’ll have someone find him right away.”

Cedrick nodded.

Now that Cedrick was back, Xander would be the prime suspect if he were to flee at this crucial moment.
