Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 443

The business gala scheduled for that evening was held on the ninety-eighth floor of Salinsburgh’s tallest building, Summit Hotel, attracting various prominent and influential figures from the business community in Salinsburgh to attend the event.

As Gwendolyn and Cedrick entered the place hand in hand, Craig happened to arrive with Jennifer from the elevator on the other end.

The two parties bumped into each other at the entrance.

Since Cedrick was Craig’s superior in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the latter reckoned he still needed to show some respect toward the man. He bowed and greeted politely, “Good evening, Mr. Jenson.”

Cedrick nodded with a cold and indifferent demeanor, acknowledging the greeting.

Jennifer was about to rush to Gwendolyn’s side when Craig pulled her back, stating, “Jennifer, there are so many people watching. You should be mindful of your etiquette.”

With her desire to have a private conversation with Gwendolyn thwarted, Jennifer could only hang her head in frustration.

Seeing that, Gwendolyn released her grip on Cedrick’s arm and walked over to hold her best friend’s hand. She shot an apologetic look at Craig and said, “Mr. Craig, I hope you can spare Jennifer a few minutes to accompany me to the restroom. You’re a magnanimous man. I’m sure you won’t refuse such an easy request, right?”

Craig narrowed his eyes in response and cast a fleeting glance at Cedrick. He smiled and acquiesced, “But of course. Since you require Jennifer’s presence, Mrs. Jenson, it would be impolite of me to deny you that.”

With his agreement, Gwendolyn swiftly led Jennifer away, leaving the two men to wait at the entrance.

It wasn’t until the women were far away that Gwendolyn asked, “How did you end up coming with Craig? Did you return to the Newton residence?”

Jennifer nodded. “I did. After much consideration, I decided to try and integrate myself into the Newton family. After all, it’s where I belong.”

Gwendolyn patted her hand and comforted, “Well, I think it’s good that you’ve gone back. You were a noblewoman, to begin with, and it was a twist of fate that led you to all this suffering. Now that you’re back with the Newton family, you won’t be alone anymore, and you’ll have a group of brothers and sisters by your side.”
