Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

A few minutes later, Nico, who had received Cedrick’s orders, hurriedly ran over and eagerly followed closely beside Cedrick.

“Cedrick, are you suspecting that Charles took advantage of Gwendolyn’s vulnerability and did something inappropriate to her? Or even hid her away?” Nico asked.

Cedrick did not answer and merely walked forward with a solemn expression. It was evident that he was indeed thinking the same.

Nico sighed and said sincerely, “Cedrick, Charles helped us before, and because of your support, he managed to gain control of the Newton family. He has been well-behaved all these years. Moreover, he has a girlfriend now. I don’t think he would do such a thing.”

His voice became softer as he spoke, and he even started doubting himself. However, Nico had known Charles for many years. They even challenged each other to a fight before and bantered like teasing friends. He did not want Charles to repeat the same extreme actions as the S404 RNA virus incident from the past. Nico did not want the latter to end up in prison again.

When he saw the complicated look in Nico’s eyes, Cedrick stopped in his tracks and stared coldly at him. “How well do you know him? How can you guarantee that?”

Nico ultimately lowered his head upon hearing that and did not respond.

“Back then, I thought he was willing to be Benny and Zendy’s godfather because he wants to let go of the past and his obsession with Gwendolyn completely to move on with his life. However, as soon as something happened to Gwendolyn, he would pursue her quickly, almost like a rabbit darting forward. He has the same level of urgency and impatience as me. Considering their ten years of childhood friendship, are you certain that he won’t resort to extreme actions if he finds Gwendolyn before I do?” Cedrick continued.

At that point, Nico found himself increasingly unable to argue and instead lowered his head in despondence.

Then, with a composed tone, Cedrick reprimanded him, “Call him right away. Do it in front of me. Hopefully, I’m overthinking things.”

“Yes,” Nico answered as he obediently took out his phone. He found Charles’ number in his contacts list and dialed it, putting the call on speaker in front of Cedrick and Swain.

At the same time, Swain quickly asked the technical department to enable location tracking. As soon as Charles answered the call, Federal Bureau of Investigation could monitor his whereabouts immediately.

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

Cedrick sat nearby with a grim expression while Nico stood obediently.

No one spoke.

The phone rang for over a minute, then the call automatically disconnected without anyone answering.

Nico’s resolve wavered. He found himself unable to offer any more explanations to help Charles. It’s afternoon, and he’s not even answering the phone. Is he feeling guilty?

The air grew tense, and Nico’s back stiffened. He discreetly glanced at Cedrick’s expression, ready to follow his next command.
