Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Asher’s face lost all color when Gwendolyn’s revelation struck him.

He found it unbelievable that Cedrick was willing to disregard his family’s reputation and interests to transfer everything he had over to Gwendolyn.

It’s so ironic that it feels like a bad joke.

“I’m sorry.”

An apology was all that he could eke out, for he knew that any further explanation was pointless.

Wiping away her tears, Gwendolyn felt as if she had lost all faith in Asher.

“Even if you weren’t behind those misdeeds, your tolerance of Evelyn’s misdeeds has allowed her to act with impunity. The way you protect her and cover up the truth was the reason I ended up in Fairlake when I was fifteen. There, I suffered for six years straight while living with the Wright family. The trauma that I experienced isn’t something that your trivial punishment can ever make up for!

“On top of Crane Bridge at Fairlake, she and Luke hired forty assassins to kill me. I had no choice but to jump into the freezing river to escape. Another time in Realm Bar, she and Uncle Hector bribed Charles to steal the S404 RNA virus from the lab so that they could infect me with it.

“Let’s not forget the numerous times she tried to sow discord between me and Cedrick. By advising Eloise, she almost succeeded in getting me raped by Sherman during Eloise’s birthday party. Yet, you bailed Eloise and Natasha out of prison, allowing them to ride roughshod on my life. All these incidents are the result of you and Dad indulging her, and I’m never going to forgive you for what you have done. Since you want the right of succession so much, I’ll give it to you as my way of repaying you for the care you have shown me throughout the years. But, from today onward, you and I are no longer siblings!”

The moment Gwendolyn was done with her outburst, she walked past Asher with her eyes brimming with hatred.

The latter, whose eyes had reddened, called out to Gwendolyn right before she opened the door to leave.

“I’m sorry, Kiddo. I didn’t expect my actions to have traumatized you to this extent. I know I don’t deserve to ask for your forgiveness. Instead, I’ll reflect upon my actions and do my best to make it up to you. As for Evelyn, you’re free to make her pay as long as you don’t kill her.”

Unfortunately, his words only hurt Gwendolyn more. Her grip on the doorknob tightened in response. “In the end, it’s clear that she’s more important to you. Despite me listing out all her crimes, you still choose to stand up for her.”
