The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 622 Severing All Ties

Cedrick did not return to his office immediately after leaving the interrogation room.

Instead, he spent considerable time in the quiet, secluded corridor, leaning against the wall. His dark eyes were in silent introspection, deep in thought.

A subtle frown creased his forehead. He instinctively reached into the pocket of his military trousers to reach for his cigarettes, attempting to sneak one puff.

However, his pocket was empty.

Then, he suddenly recalled that she had urged him to quit smoking ever since Gwendolyn knew about his $404 RNA virus infection. Then, he recovered, and she got pregnant. She couldn’t stand the smell of smoke.

Later on, he hadn’t picked up the habit again because of the babies.

In total, nearly a year and a half had passed since he had last held a pack of cigarettes,

He abandoned the urge to smoke and pulled out his phone instead to call Logan.

“Mr. Jenson.” Logan picked up the call almost immediately.

In a frigid tone, Cedrick said point-blank, “Tell Old Mr. Jenson that I can let Xander off the hook and not hold him accountable anymore to repay his years of guidance toward me. However, Yael must pay for his past mistakes. There will be no room for negotiation. Please ask him not to interfere in the car accident incident anymore.”

His firm stance left Logan stunned on the other end of the line.

“M-Mr. Jenson, you…” Logan noticed something was amiss. Cedrick was addressing Valentino as Old Mr. Jenson instead of Grandpa.

Cedrick had always shown great respect for his grandfather, hanging on the old man’s every word. Most importantly, Cedrick had always addressed Valentino as Grandpa.

“Mr. Jenson, about this… Old Mr. Jenson…”

Logan’s voice wavered, genumely taken aback by Cedrick’s icy demeanor. He had intended to defend Valentino, but he couldn’t quite find the right words to say.

Cedrick wasn’t interested to listen, either. Tve made my standpoint clear. If he wants to save his second son’s family at the expense of his first son’s family’s reputation, then 1—”

He paused briefly, instinctively tightening his grip on the phone as his voice took on a colder tone. “Well, then I’d rather not have him in my life.”
