Chapter 229 For Real This Time

Gwendolyn’s gaze remained determined. “Yes, Old Mr. Jenson. I think Mr. Cedrick and I aren’t a good match for each other. If we could, I’d like to… be friends.”

Valentino was surprised by her decision. “Did he mistreat you, Gwendolyn? Tell me, and I’ll take care of him!”

“No, he wouldn’t dare do that. I just…”

Fifteen minutes later, Gwendolyn emerged, grim-faced, from Valentino’s villa. William was waiting for her at the entrance.

Upon her appearance, he hurried forward. “How did it go, Ms. Gwendolyn? Did Old Mr. Jenson agree?”

Gwendolyn gazed down glumly and shook her head.

Valentino had walked her through the pros and cons. Her engagement with Cedrick was not an ordinary affair, as it concerned many other people as well. In fact, Cedrick had publicized their wedding to also be a business alliance.

If the engagement were to be broken off two days after the reception, Harris Group and Jenson Group would face massive financial losses and negative publicity online.

Needless to say, the repercussions would be huge.

Furthermore, Valentino no longer got involved with the Jenson family’s major affairs. As Cedrick was the new head of the family, she would have to discuss the matter with him.

Knowing him, he would not consent to it even if she pointed a gun at his head.

Gwendolyn was furious, yet she could not think of anything else.

Cedrick has me trapped well and proper this time!

She could finally understand why Treyton and Eloise had been engaged for two years, yet they remained together even though they truly despised her. For the children of a rich family, in particular, an engagement built on a business alliance was not easy to call off.

Forget it.

She heaved a long sigh. I’ll plan it all over again soon. For now, I don’t even want to think of that brute, Cedrick.
