Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 489 Late Night Interrogation

“You want to kill Gwendolyn?”

Although Craig did not believe that completely, he released his grip on Charles’ neck slightly.

Charles’ cheeks had already turned pale. Even though it was starting to get difficult to breathe, he continued without skipping a beat, “Craig, you’ve never experienced true despair. I don’t care what price I have to pay as long as Cedrick dies. Although I love Gwendolyn so much, she eloped with Cedrick so decisively during the wedding. I ended up being the joke of the town. I can’t forgive her for that either. Since they’re so in love with her, they can just accompany each other to the grave.”

A despairing yet vicious smirk played on his lips, making him look a bit scary.

With a raised eyebrow, Craig scrutinized Charles’ expression before withdrawing his hands. “You’re a madman, indeed. Your psyche is completely screwed up. However, this is good.”

Enduring the pain in his throat, Charles coughed slightly, his expression still remaining the same.

Craig gently stroked Charles’ neck, which had red imprints left from his fingers. His voice became softer as he said. “Since you’ve finished toasting the guests, there’s nothing else for you to do in the garden. Go back to your room and rest.”

“Got it. Craig.”

“Okay.” Craig averted his gaze and left the shadowy corner.

It was until Craig’s figure had completely been absorbed into the lively scene in the garden that Charles. finally let out a careful sigh of relief.

He took out an unopened packet of powder from his pocket and gripped it in his fist.

After Craig left, Gwendolyn deliberately kept a low profile. She evaded everyone’s vision and appeared in front of Charles.

Both of them shared a gaze and smiled.

Craig, who had just returned to the welcome party lobby, was finally stopped by Karl.

“Bad news, Mr. Craig!” Karl’s face was filled with panic as he whispered beside Craig’s ears. “My key to the top floor has disappeared. Only Mr. Charles was by my side before the welcome party started.”

The expression on Craig’s face changed drastically. Fury raged in his eyes as he roared through gritted teeth, “Charles Newton!”

Just when he turned around to enter the villa, Karl stopped him. “Don’t be angry yet, Mr. Craig. I’m just feeling suspicious. Since there are so many guests around, it’s not appropriate to spread the news about the top floor. Since Mr. Jenson is present, it might easily lead to a major commotion.”

After a brief moment of rage, Craig quickly suppressed the look of fury in his eyes.
