Chapter 514 Headless Family

With that in mind, Gwendolyn heaved a heavy sigh and looked out the car window. “Forget about it. I
don’t care if that was Evelyn or not. As long as she doesn’t show up again to harm Benny and Zendy, I
can keep thinking she’s dead.”

Hearing that, Cedrick tightened his grip on her hand to calm her down.

However, Gwendolyn was so bothered by Evelyn’s sudden appearance that she ignored him.

“That’s enough, Gwenny. Overthinking it isn’t going to help. We’ll decide what to do after Elven has
gotten the results. Benny and Zendy are safe at home. Don’t worry.”

Gwendolyn absent-mindedly hummed in response.

Cedrick couldn’t help sighing. In a gentle tone, he tried to ask for a reward.

“Darling, I behaved myself and went to the gala after I finished my job at the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Since I’ve been obedient, don’t you think 1 deserve a reward when we get home?” he
requested.

Gwendolyn cast a sidelong glance at him listlessly. “I’m not feeling it.”

-A wave of grievance washed over Cedrick when he heard her lukewarm response. “Darling, do you
not

don’t find me attractive anymore? Have I not been able to give you pleasure in bed? Could it be that
you find my abs and collarbones sexy anymore?”

“It seems like you’ve lost interest in me!” Cedrick looked devastated. In a sorrowful tone, he grumbled,
“You’ve changed, Darling. Don’t you want to have sex with me anymore?”



Gwendolyn was rendered speechless. How am I supposed to respond to that?

“Answer my questions, Darling. I’ll do whatever I can to spice up our sex life again,” he added.

In response, she turned toward him reluctantly and replied, “It’s not that. I’m just tired, and I don’t feel
like moving.”

Gwendolyn had been working all day long, and she had to attend the gala after work. At that moment,
she couldn’t wait to get home and shower before going to bed.

Cedrick, on the other hand, had something else in mind. “Well, I know you’ve been doing most of the
work the past two times we had sex. I’ll be the one doing the work tonight! All you need to do is lie
down and enjoy. Darling. I’ll please you.”

Again, Gwendolyn was at a loss for words. It seems like he had everything planned out.

Although she didn’t answer him, she had to admit that Cedrick had successfully helped her take her
mind off Evelyn. In fact, sex was the only thing on her mind at that time.

Late at night, the couple’s fun was only just beginning

Meanwhile, professionals had compared the will Charles handed in with Caylie’s handwriting when she
was alive. The professionals found that the similarity was as high as eighty-five percent.

Besides, it was true that Caylie was diagnosed with depression when Charles returned to the country

back

then.

Everything made sense.



Craig’s case had been dragging on for a long time, so Cedrick decided to collect all the conclusive
evidence and formally hand it over to the court.

Two days later, the verdict was rendered.

Craig was sentenced to life imprisonment in a high-security prison.

That day, Craig, dressed in plain clothes, was seen wearing a mask and handcuffs as he was brought
into a

car.

It rained cats and dogs the day Craig was sent to prison, but that didn’t stop Charles from waiting for
his half-brother at the prison entrance. Charles wore an elegant suit and held a black umbrella while
waiting patiently.

A few minutes later, the car, with Craig inside, arrived.

Craig saw Charles the moment he got out of the car. With his eyes filled with murderous intent, he
wanted to rush toward Charles.

“Charles!” Craig shouted.

However, he was held back by the officers.

With a hand on his umbrella, Charles didn’t budge one bit.

At the same time, the viciousness in Charles’ blue eyes and grin seemed even more apparent under
the dark sky.

Craig was so angry that he was trembling all over. However, he was wearing heavy handcuffs and
shackles, so there was nothing he could do to Charles.



The winner takes it all. Now that Craig lost, there’s nothing he can do against me. Charles then
pretended to sound sorrowful when he uttered, “Don’t worry, Craig. I’ll visit you often. Besides, I’m sure
you’ll have fun in this high-security prison. I almost lost my mind when I was kept inside for six months.
You’ll be in there for the rest of your life, Craig. What are you going to do now?”

Craig was livid, and his eyes were filled with rage.

If he could kill someone with his eyes, Charles would’ve already gotten stabbed a thousand times.

Still, Craig was struggling to dash toward Charles. However, the officers held him tightly as they
dragged him into the prison.

While watching Craig get dragged in, Charles uttered coldly, “Goodbye, Craig. From now on, I’ll lead
the Newton family. I won’t let you down, Craig.”

“Charles Newton!” Craig’s roar echoed in the air.

The smile on Charles’ face disappeared, and a cold and smug expression took over.

Upon letting out a scoff, he left.

The day Craig was sent to prison, the battle for the position as the head of the Newton family began.

In the Newton residence, Lucas, Jasmine, and Charles were having lunch together.

Without Craig there, the main seat was left empty, as the trio was wise enough not to take the seat.

During lunch, the dining room was silent, save for the clanking of utensils and plates. The atmosphere
was awkwardly harmonious.



After some time, Lucas asked tentatively, “Charles, now that no one is leading the family, what ideas do
you have in your mind?”

Charles flashed a faint smile and continued eating casually. “What would I have in my mind? I doubt I’ll
ever get to be the head of the family. Since you’re older than me, Lucas, I’ll back you.”

Lucas was sizing him up carefully. His expression seemed natural when he said those words. It didn’t
look like he was lying.

“Charles, do you really not want to be the head of the family?” Lucas questioned.

Charles shook his head and smiled. “I’ll never go after something that’s not mine. Don’t worry, Lucas. If
you want to fight off the others to become the head of the family, Jasmine and I will back you up.”

Hearing that, Jasmine swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded innocently.

Lucas felt at ease when he saw his younger siblings’ responses. “Charles, I’m happy to hear that. From
now on, you can relax at home with peace of mind.”

Charles smiled and nodded before lowering his head to conceal the dark look in his eyes.

After lunch, he went to Harrick Villa again.

Ever since becoming Benedict’s and Zendaya’s godfather, he would visit Harrick Villa daily to bring
them gifts.

Needless to say, he cared about the kids a lot.

Coincidentally, Cedrick was free that day, so Cedrick and Craig played with the kids in the nursery on
the fourth floor.

One of them was with Benedict, and the other kept Zendaya company.



Although they only attended to one child each, the atmosphere was, again, inexplicably harmonious.

After a while, Cedrick turned toward Charles and asked nonchalantly, “I heard that the battle to become
the head of the Newton family is rather intense. How do you find the time to come here every day? Don
you need to stay home and strategize?”

Charles smiled brightly as he shook the maracas to entertain Zendaya. “Why would I be busy? I’m not
involved in the power struggle.”

Hearing that, Cedrick asked tentatively, “Well, if you were to become the head of the Newton family,
you would be in charge of all the family affairs. Are you sure you don’t want to give it a go?”

Charles turned toward the man and answered, “I would like to have a go at it, but I’m an ex-convict.
Besides, I don’t have influence, manpower, or shares. How am I supposed to fight against them?”

Afterward, he added jokingly. “Could it be that you would like to back me up. Mr. Jenson?”
