Chapter 284

His Explanation Backfired +15 Bonu Since Nico was coming over, Gwendolyn did not
want to embarrass him in front of others.

She subtly gestured toward the nearby couch with her eyes.

“Go and take a seat.

” Cedrick refused to move.

He kept his head lowered, breathing heavily in anger, while his cold, dark eyes revealed his murderous
intent.

Remembering how he had angina, Gwendolyn gently stroked his cheek to soothe his emotions.

“Go and take a seat over there, okay? We might be able to clear your name soon.

” Cedrick suppressed his emotions and sat on the couch on the side.

Fifteen minutes later, Nico arrived.

As he stepped into the house, the intimidating atmosphere caused him to shudder.

After seeing the cigarettes on the coffee table, he instantly knew what to expect.

He was pleased to see how effective his meticulous plan was.

I can’t believe Boss was caught red–handed so quickly.

With a faint grin on his face, he stood obediently by the coffee table.

Cedrick could not believe Nico still dared to smile in front of him.



Despite that, Cedrick remained composed in front of Gwendolyn as he spoke in a deep voice.

“Gwenny saw the cigarettes you placed in the drawer.

You better explain everything to her, and don’t you dare utter a single lie.

If you do, I’ll drag you to the interrogation room and hook you up to a lie detector and a shock device!”
Nico was struck dumb, not daring to give him any response.

What the f*ck? How can he be so ruthless? This is not what I expected! Didn’t Boss want to be
punished? Shouldn’t he be happy about being found out? Gwendolyn knitted her brows before shooting
daggers in Cedrick’s direction.

“Why are you threatening him?” “N–No, I didn’t…” Cedrick instantly toned down his voice.

Instead of continuing with the reprimand, Gwendolyn turned to Nico and asked in a calm tone, “Nico,
tell me the truth.

Did Cedrick smoke today?” Nico froze for a moment before instinctively casting a glance at Cedrick.

Cedrick blithely warned him again, “Shock device!” His words sent chills down Nico’s spine.

“Nope, he didn’t! He asked me for a cigarette, but he just took a sniff of it before tossing it away.

” Gwendolyn maintained a composed posture, crossing her arms gracefully, and her facial expression
remained stoic.

Despite studying their faces intently, she could not fully believe their explanation.

“Nico, don’t be scared to tell the truth.

As long as I’m here, Cedrick would not dare to lay a finger on you.



” With Gwendolyn’s assurance, Nico breathed a sigh of relief, raised his right hand, and vowed.

“Ms. Gwendolyn, every word I said is true!” 1/4 Chapter 284 His Explanation Backfired “All right then.

” Gwendolyn nodded, giving the impression that she believed his words.

Cedrick heaved a sigh of relief.

+15 Bonus Yet, seconds later, Gwendolyn continued asking, “How do you explain the cigarettes in the
drawer then?” “Boss asked me to buy the cigarettes for him and told me to hide them inside the
drawer,” he answered.

Spotting a keyword in his reply, Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes.

“Hide?” Nico nodded.

“Boss said you’re busy during the day and normally wouldn’t go through the drawers.

That’s why he instructed me to put the cigarettes in a corner to hide them away from you.

” Gwendolyn let out a cold laugh before shooting Cedrick a meaningful look.

“Ah, I sec.

So that was all a ploy to keep me from discovering the cigarettes.

” Cedrick was about to explode in rage.

F*ck! This b*stard is just making things worse! How am I going to defend myself after this? He gave
Nico a fierce glare before grinding his teeth.



“I told you to come and explain the situation, not repeat every single word I said earlier! You’re
supposed to come here to clear my name and set things straight!” Comprehension dawned on Nico
when he heard that.

He realized then that he had misunderstood Cedrick.

So Boss wasn’t looking forward to being beaten up by Ms. Gwendolyn.

He genuinely wanted to keep the truth from her! In contrast to Cedrick’s anger, Gwendolyn responded
with a gentle smile.

“You did a great job in providing me with a clearer understanding of the situation.

Don’t worry; you can speak freely.

I am here to protect you.

” Nevertheless, after realizing the harm he had brought on Cedrick, Nico became uncertain of what to
say, but he knew he needed to earnestly think about how to make amends.

Otherwise, his life would be in serious jeopardy.

No one, not even Ms. Gwendolyn, can save me if Boss explodes! After contemplating for a while, Nico
spoke with sincerity.

“Ms. Gwendolyn, it was not right for Mr. Jenson to keep this from you, but he does remember the plan
you customized for him, and he never intended to actually smoke.

He has been taking medication three times a day recently.

Those pills are bitter and can cause loss of appetite and nausea if taken in excess.



He was trying to find a way to alleviate the discomfort caused by the medication.

It’s just that he ended up choosing the wrong method.

” Nico gave a heartfelt explanation.

Cedrick’s gloomy expression gradually eased as the person who screwed things up for him finally said
something pleasing.

However, Gwendolyn’s face remained deadpan.

It was hard to tell if she believed what Nico said.

Nico tested the waters by saying, “So, Ms. Gwendolyn, please don’t be mad at Mr. Jenson anymore.

” Gwendolyn decided not to expose Cedrick in front of Nico for trying to lie to her and sweep things
under the carpet.

She glanced at Cedrick and cast a gentle smile at him.

“Why should I be mad at him? It’s just a small issue.

2/4 Chapter 284 His Explanation Backfired Right, Ceddy?” Cedrick nodded earnestly.

+15 Bonus Gwendolyn withdrew her gaze and looked at the cigarettes on the coffee table.

“But from now on, let’s not keep these cigarettes.

These are just bad stuff.

Nico, empty the drawer and sell all the cigarettes at a low price.

” “Low price?” Nico’s eyes widened in shock.



Those are imported goods, and they’re all extremely expensive! Those were his cherished
possessions.

The thought of selling them at a low price felt like a stab to his heart.

Cedrick glared at him.

“Listen to Gwenny.

Take all the cigarettes away.

I don’t want to see them again!” Nico’s face showed a mixture of pain and reluctance.

“All right, Boss.

” While Nico started clearing the cigarettes in the drawer, Gwendolyn stood up and grabbed Cedrick’s
arm.

“Come, let’s go upstairs.

” She sounded calm, but Cedrick’s heart skipped a beat.

Will she still punish me after all that explaining? Overwhelmed by complicated emotions, Cedrick felt
helpless as Gwendolyn led him to the master bedroom.

“Sit,” she instructed.

Cedrick sat down obediently, even though he had butterflies in his stomach.

He was unsure if Gwendolyn was still angry, but he knew he hated her physical punishments.



If it were not for fear of Gwendolyn getting angry, he would have dumped the ruler and Lego pieces into
the ocean so that she would never be able to retrieve them again! As he was brooding, he saw
Gwendolyn turn her head and walk toward the bedside table.

She placed her hand on the first drawer as if she was about to open it.

Cedrick knew very well what was lying inside.

Before Gwendolyn could fully open the drawer, he clutched his chest, furrowed his brow, and weakly
said, “Gwenny, I feel uncomfortable…” Gwendolyn ran over to check on him.

“Do you feel discomfort in your heart? Is your angina acting up again? By right, you should feel better
since you’ve taken the medicine for a week.

” With a pallid complexion and a frail demeanor, he leaned weakly in her embrace, his eyes drooping.

Gwendolyn was deeply concerned.

“You shouldn’t bear the pain if you’re having an episode.

I’ll fetch the medicine to alleviate your angina attacks!” “No, it’s okay!” He gripped her wrist just when
she was about to stand up.

The grip was remarkably firm and unwavering, in stark contrast to the feeble and trembling hand of the
person who had been in agony moments before.

Upon realizing he had overreacted, Cedrick instantly loosened his grip and buried his head in her 3/4
Chapter 284 His Explanation Backfired embrace, speaking softly.

“What I meant was, I feel much better with you hugging me…” Gwendolyn lowered her head and
stayed silent.



After narrowing her eyes, she discreetly assessed the man’s behavior and quickly understood his
intentions.

Not only did he deceive me, but now he’s also putting on a show.

Initially, she had considered forgiving him.

That was why she had wanted to retrieve the anti- inflammatory cream from the drawer to apply it to his
injured knees.

A corner of her lips quirked up.

Looks like someone deserves a punishment, after all! 41 L |||
