Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 763

After ending the call, Gwendolyn fell into deep thought before her computer before deciding to call Charles.

Having successfully completed his one-month assignment of cleaning the restroom, Charles had returned to Newton Group and was presently in a meeting.

His expression turned serious when his phone, set to silent mode, lit up, showing Gwendolyn’s name. Pausing the meeting, he excused himself and headed out to answer the call.

The higher-ups of Newton Group were left behind, baffled by his sudden exit.

“Gwen, why are you calling me at this hour? Is there an emergency?”

Gwendolyn told him sternly, “Something happened to the Cloud family. They have been wiped out. Do you know about this?”

Charles fell into a momentary silence. “I did come across the news this morning, but I didn’t delve into it. Is that the reason you called me?”

He quickly realized why she called. “Do you think I’m behind this?”

“The Cloud family was already on the brink of departing from upper-class society. Ignatius’ family had never had many enemies. The only recent conflict I recall was the one between you and Jessamyn.”

Charles listened to her silently before letting out a snort. “Is that why you’re suspecting me?”

Before Gwendolyn could reply, he added menacingly, “Gwendolyn, you think too highly of me. I’m not capable of killing over one hundred members of their family overnight. Even if I wanted to teach Jessamyn a lesson, I wouldn’t involve the others.”

Gwendolyn sighed. “I know it wasn’t you. I never suspected you.”

Charles’ expression relaxed slightly.

Gwendolyn’s analysis continued as she delved deeper into the topic. “I don’t believe it’s as straightforward as it seems. While the Cloud family may have experienced a downfall, they still wielded significant influence. If the culprit’s motive isn’t driven by a personal grudge against them, could it be that all the influential families in Salinsburgh are potential targets?”

As the gravity of the situation became apparent, Charles would undoubtedly be summoned for questioning by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The matter was serious, so Cedrick would need to personally handle it.
