“Craig knows about Charles stealing the S404 RNA virus. I’m not sure whether he knew about it all along, but for now, he’s the most suspicious.”

Gwendolyn pondered for a moment and shook her head. “The year when something happened to the fifteen-year-old me, though I don’t quite remember the whole story, I know very well that the one who could catch me off guard must surely be someone I know. Hector tried to mess with me previously because I hold the right of inheritance. Compared to him, Craig has nothing to do with the Harris family’s inheritance. He’s an accomplice at most. I doubt he’s the mastermind.”

Cedrick fell silent for a short while before he raised another possibility.

“Perhaps the real mastermind doesn’t have that much power? He’s only taking advantage of a privileged bigshot like Craig.”

“Yeah, I share the same sentiments.”

Cedrick caressed her head. “Don’t think about it anymore. Hurry and eat your meal. In any case, with me around, I won’t let anyone harm you.”

Gwendolyn curled her lips into a smile.

Her starry eyes glinted as she spoke in a tone laced with a hint of slyness. “They are out to hurt me. If I keep hiding, it’ll only make them do the same. But if I do something to add fuel to the fire, I’m sure it’ll trigger them to take action recklessly. The more they act, the more flaws they’ll leave behind!”

Cedrick froze. He was wholly mesmerized by the calmness in her gaze.

“What are you planning to do?”

“I’m actually not interested in the succession rights. But since everyone wants it so much, I think it’ll be better if I accept it.”

Arrogance was glistening in her eyes as she raised her head high.

Cedrick, however, was worried. “Gwenny, why don’t you think about it again at a later time? You’re pregnant now, and our wedding is next month.”

He did not want anything to happen at this juncture.

Gwendolyn nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take things slowly and won’t act impulsively. I’ll take good care of myself and never let anything happen to the baby and me.”

Complicated emotions churned Cedrick, but he said nothing further and lowered his head to continue eating.
