Chapter 599 Is Nico Two Faced

Gwendolyn drove back to Harrick Villa that night.

Cedrick was not at the Federal Bureau of Investigation; he seemed to have gone back to the Jenson residence. Thus, she wanted to spare him the trouble of picking her up.

When she reached home, she walked past the garden to find only the study was lit.

At that realization, she entered the house and went straight to the study.

The study’s door was ajar, revealing Cedrick sitting at the office desk, his gaze fixed, albeit distant, on an unknown spot. Clearly, he was deeply engrossed in his thoughts.

He looked somber as if something had happened.

Finding his behavior puzzling, Gwendolyn quietly entered the room and made her way to the back of his office chair.

Cedrick was so absorbed in his thoughts that he did not even notice the woman entering.

“What’s wrong, Hubby? Did something happen?”

With her dainty digits, she gently squeezed his broad shoulders and massaged them.

Her familiar voice and the sensation of her fingers kneading his shoulders pulled Cedrick back to reality.

He took the hands that were massaging his shoulders and kissed them. “Yael hid Xander. When I went to see him, he told me that there was a hidden reason behind my parents death, and he used that to threaten me to let Xander off.”

Gwendolyn frowned at what she heard. “Does he really know the cause? If Mom and Dad really got into an accident back then, why don’t you just ask Grandpa about it?”

Cedrick sighed dejectedly. That was where the problem lay.

Earlier that day, Cedrick had gone to ask Valentino, who shook his head firmly and denied there was anything more to the matter. Everything the latter said was precisely what he told Cedrick since young- nothing more, nothing less.

In fact, Cedrick pressed on until the point where Valentino lost his temper and threatened to punish the former if he continued bringing up the past and invoking his sadness.

Nonetheless, Valentino’s overreaction proved there may be more to the matter like what Yael suggested.

As Cedrick pondered upon it, he recounted every single detail to Gwendolyn because of his unconditional trust for her.
