The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 609 Waiting Is Not A Problem

He can only last two days?

Yael’s heart throbbed with pain. He could not imagine how his precious son was being tormented in another cell.

“Cedrick, he’s your cousin and Dad’s grandson for goodness’ sake. You’re a heartless b*stard!”

As Cedrick emerged from the cell, he could still hear Yael’s faint swearing from inside. With a grim look on his face, he continued walking along the corridor and pretended not to hear it.

Instead of returning to his office, Cedrick walked to the other end of the corridor where Xander was locked up with a group of prisoners.

Just as an officer took out the key to unlock the door, Cedrick stopped him.

“It’s fine. I’m not planning to go in.”

He stood right outside and observed the condition inside through the cell bars.

Raoul and the others were sitting by the wall, some asleep, while others resting.

After scanning everyone in the cell, Cedrick-not wanting to startle the others-asked the officer softly, “Where’s Xander?”

The officer took a quick look around. “I remembered him being ostracized by the others and ordered to stay in the toilet at the back. Mr. Xander slept there last night.

Xander had always prided himself as the elegant son of the Jenson family and was a clean freak. Yet now he had to sleep in a dirty toilet and did so without protest.

He has been spoiled all this while by the family. There’s no way he’ll behave if he isn’t taught a lesson.

“Mr. Jenson, would you like to have a cigarette?”

The officer pulled out an expensive-looking cigarette case and offered it to Cedrick with both hands.

Cedrick didn’t bother to look, let alone show any intention of taking one. “Send more men to keep an eye on this cell. Make sure no one is killed or seriously injured. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“Understood, Mr. Jenson.”
