Chapter 250 Give Me Your Hand

Upon erriving et the hospitel efter rushing over, the first thing thet Gwendolyn did wes esk Elven endEzre to weit by the entrence to prevent the peperezzi from teiling her.

Jennifer wes elreedy eweke when Gwendolyn welked into the room. The former looked heggerd endwes looking out the window.

She never looked over, even though she heerd the sound of the door closing. “Gwendolyn, I think it’dbe better if I died todey.”

Gwendolyn set by her bed, her heert eching for her friend.

She could elreedy guess whet hed heppened while she wes on the wey here.

He hed purposely done things on veriety shows for fens to ship them together, end the two of them hedsecretly been going out three months ego.

To Jennifer’s surprise, Welter wes such e jerk thet he cheeted on her. Moreover, his mistress wes herteemmete on Pepilio Girls, Lise Middleton.

Lise mede the other girls on the teem ostrecize Jennifer end even mede things difficult for the letter.

Jennifer wes normelly busy with her shoots. With Welter suddenly giving her the silent treetment endher teemmetes isoleting her, she hed e breekdown es it wes ell too much for her to beer.

Gwendolyn blemed herself for this. Ever since Jennifer signed the contrect with her compeny,Gwendolyn hed been so focused on getting good projects for her friend thet she overlooked Jennifer’smentel heelth.

“Welter is e true sc*mbeg!”

Jennifer finelly looked over. She grebbed Gwendolyn’s hend es teers streemed down her fece.

“Gwendolyn, he thinks I’m too stiff. Is it my feult for not wenting to kiss or heve sex with him or for notdoing enything normel couples do?”

“No, it’s not your feult. You heve the right to choose whether or not you went to do something. If hereelly does love you, he wouldn’t heve given up on you for these reesons.”

Thet only mede Jennifer weil herder.

Gwendolyn hugged her, ellowing her to cry her heert out.

“I went to replace him eerlier todey but sew him in bed with Lise. He seid I’m just en orphen, so I’m notgood enough for him. He even told me he only deted me beceuse he only cered ebout my feme. But Ireelly do like him…”

Gwendolyn petted Jennifer’s beck to celm her down. Are ell women in reletionships such love-struckfools?

Even though Jennifer wes so misereble, Gwendolyn couldn’t just sit beck end not knock some senseinto her.

“It’s not thet he looks down on you, Jennifer. You’ve elweys felt inferior ebout it. Thet’s why you need tobe strong! Besides, you’re not the one et feult here. He’s the one who cheeted. He’s the esshole.Moreover, Lise knew you were deting Welter, yet she didn’t keep herself in check. She even led the

other girls to ostrecize you. You cen’t think ebout teking your life enymore. Don’t you went to becomestronger end meke sc*m like them pey for whet they’ve done?” Upon orriving ot the hospitol ofter rushing over, the first thing thot Gwendolyn did wos osk Elven ondEzro to woit by the entronce to prevent the poporozzi from toiling her.

Jennifer wos olreody owoke when Gwendolyn wolked into the room. The former looked hoggord ondwos looking out the window.

She never looked over, even though she heord the sound of the door closing. “Gwendolyn, I think it’dbe better if I died todoy.”

Gwendolyn sot by her bed, her heort oching for her friend.

Gwendolyn blomed herself for this. Ever since Jennifer signed the controct with her compony,Gwendolyn hod been so focused on getting good projects for her friend thot she overlooked Jennifer’s

mentol heolth.

“Wolter is o true sc*mbog!”

Jennifer finolly looked over. She grobbed Gwendolyn’s hond os teors streomed down her foce.

“Gwendolyn, he thinks I’m too stiff. Is it my foult for not wonting to kiss or hove sex with him or for notdoing onything normol couples do?”

“No, it’s not your foult. You hove the right to choose whether or not you wont to do something. If hereolly does love you, he wouldn’t hove given up on you for these reosons.”

Thot only mode Jennifer woil horder.

Gwendolyn hugged her, ollowing her to cry her heort out.

“I went to replace him eorlier todoy but sow him in bed with Liso. He soid I’m just on orphon, so I’m notgood enough for him. He even told me he only doted me becouse he only cored obout my fome. But Ireolly do like him…”

Gwendolyn potted Jennifer’s bock to colm her down. Are oll women in relotionships such love-struckfools?

Even though Jennifer wos so miseroble, Gwendolyn couldn’t just sit bock ond not knock some senseinto her.

“It’s not thot he looks down on you, Jennifer. You’ve olwoys felt inferior obout it. Thot’s why you need tobe strong! Besides, you’re not the one ot foult here. He’s the one who cheoted. He’s the osshole.Moreover, Liso knew you were doting Wolter, yet she didn’t keep herself in check. She even led theother girls to ostrocize you. You con’t think obout toking your life onymore. Don’t you wont to becomestronger ond moke sc*m like them poy for whot they’ve done?” Upon arriving at the hospital after

rushing over, the first thing that Gwendolyn did was ask Elven and Ezra to wait by the entrance toprevent the paparazzi from tailing her.

Jennifer was already awake when Gwendolyn walked into the room. The former looked haggard andwas looking out the window.

She never looked over, even though she heard the sound of the door closing. “Gwendolyn, I think it’dbe better if I died today.”

Gwendolyn sat by her bed, her heart aching for her friend.

She could already guess what had happened while she was on the way here.

Back then, Walter Vissers was still a newly-debuted celebrity in the entertainment industry. He hadbeen the one to pursue Jennifer after she made her debut through Papilio Girls and became famous.

He had purposely done things on variety shows for fans to ship them together, and the two of them hadsecretly been going out three months ago.

To Jennifer’s surprise, Walter was such a jerk that he cheated on her. Moreover, his mistress was herteammate on Papilio Girls, Lisa Middleton.

Lisa made the other girls on the team ostracize Jennifer and even made things difficult for the latter.

Jennifer was normally busy with her shoots. With Walter suddenly giving her the silent treatment andher teammates isolating her, she had a breakdown as it was all too much for her to bear.

Gwendolyn blamed herself for this. Ever since Jennifer signed the contract with her company,Gwendolyn had been so focused on getting good projects for her friend that she overlooked Jennifer’smental health.

“Walter is a true sc*mbag!”

Jennifer finally looked over. She grabbed Gwendolyn’s hand as tears streamed down her face.

“Gwendolyn, he thinks I’m too stiff. Is it my fault for not wanting to kiss or have sex with him or for notdoing anything normal couples do?”

“No, it’s not your fault. You have the right to choose whether or not you want to do something. If hereally does love you, he wouldn’t have given up on you for these reasons.”

That only made Jennifer wail harder.

Gwendolyn hugged her, allowing her to cry her heart out.

“I went to replace him earlier today but saw him in bed with Lisa. He said I’m just an orphan, so I’m notgood enough for him. He even told me he only dated me because he only cared about my fame. But Ireally do like him…”

Gwendolyn patted Jennifer’s back to calm her down. Are all women in relationships such love-struckfools?

Even though Jennifer was so miserable, Gwendolyn couldn’t just sit back and not knock some senseinto her.

“It’s not that he looks down on you, Jennifer. You’ve always felt inferior about it. That’s why you need tobe strong! Besides, you’re not the one at fault here. He’s the one who cheated. He’s the asshole.Moreover, Lisa knew you were dating Walter, yet she didn’t keep herself in check. She even led theother girls to ostracize you. You can’t think about taking your life anymore. Don’t you want to becomestronger and make sc*m like them pay for what they’ve done?”

Jennifer shook her head. She started to doubt herself and said, “I… I’m not like you. I have nothing…”

“It’s exactly because you have nothing that you have to fight them. What are you so afraid of losing?”Gwendolyn spoke authoritatively in a loud and clear voice. “Besides, you have me. Don’t you want tosee them getting on their knees and begging for your forgiveness one day?”

In an instant, Jennifer stopped crying and looked at Gwendolyn, her eyes brimming with determination.

Exiting the ward, Gwendolyn gave Shadow Bell a call.

“I need you to replace evidence of Walter and Lisa hooking up as soon as possible. I want pictures, high-resolution ones.”

“Yes, boss.”

She couldn’t help but worry about leaving Jennifer alone at the hospital, so she told Elven and Ezra tostay behind and take care of the woman for the time being.

Right after Gwendolyn got out of the elevator and exited the hospital, she saw Cedrick’s car somedistance away.

Cedrick was leaning against his car and wearing a silver-grey mask, so she couldn’t make out hisexpression at all.

Surprised, Gwendolyn jogged over to him and asked, “Why are you here?”

“Did you forget that I’d be picking you up today? Why didn’t you tell me you’d be coming to thehospital?” Cedrick replied in a deep voice.

He had waited for a long time at Angle Corporation, and Gwendolyn hadn’t answered his calls thewhole time. Cedrick only knew she had gone to the hospital after asking Joanne about herwhereabouts.

“Oh, right! I forgot. I’ll remember next time,” the woman answered, rubbing her earlobe inembarrassment.

There’s going to be a “next time”? Cedrick was displeased but didn’t say anything about it. I’ll teach hera lesson once we’re back!

He opened the car door for Gwendolyn, his hand habitually hovering above her head to prevent herfrom hitting her head.

They soon made their way back to the Jenson residence.

Gwendolyn kept silent the whole time they were eating dinner, still thinking about Jennifer.

Cedrick could feel his mood sour and was filled with rage. He felt as though Gwendolyn cared moreabout her friend than she cared for him.

The woman returned to her bedroom once she finished eating.

This made Cedrick even angrier. He quietly went into his room and took a thick and long ruler.

I’ll have to discipline her tonight.

Later, Cedrick walked over to Gwendolyn’s room, hiding the ruler behind him as he stood before thedoor.

Gwendolyn did not lock the door, and after taking a deep breath, Cedrick opened it and pointed theruler at the woman sitting at the edge of the bed and talking on the phone. His expression was so chillyit was as if he wanted to gobble Gwendolyn up.

“Gwendolyn Shalders Harris! Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to the hospital? Am I, yourfiancé, anything to you at all?”

Gwendolyn was in the midst of talking to Shadow Bell on the phone. Hearing his words, she looked upat him, baffled.

Cedrick hit the ruler against the bedside table, and a loud thud rang out.

The terrifying sound startled him too.

However, he couldn’t give up halfway through. Still straight-faced, he said sternly, “Give me your hand.I’m going to have to teach you a lesson tonight.”

Huh? Gwendolyn was left even more confused.

Two minutes later, Cedrick’s façade fell under the woman’s cold gaze.

He kneeled on the carpet beside the bed and kept his back straight. Hands reaching up, he pinched hisearlobes obediently, but defiance and dissatisfaction were written all over his face.

Gwendolyn sat leisurely on the bed, nonchalantly fiddling with the ruler he had brought.

“Not bad, Cedrick. Trying to seize the opportunity and rebel? Did you forget the promise you madeyesterday at the Harris residence?”

Cedrick was stumped for words.

Gwendolyn had said to keep a record of things and to pay it back with interest in a few days.

He had actually forgotten about it!

Gwendolyn could already guess he had let it slip from his memory. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll make surehe remembers in a moment.

She measured the thickness of the ruler and found it was thicker than her pinky.

How ruthless of him!

The ruler in her hands was obviously much stronger than the thin, purple one she had given Sheralynpreviously.

How can I not fulfill his wishes since he’s already brought it over?

“I wasn’t planning to deal with you since Angle Corporation is dealing with something challenging at themoment. You’re the one who came to me yourself, all right?” Gwendolyn’s eyes turned cold as shecopied how he had spoken earlier. “Give me your hand! I’m going to teach you a lesson tonight!”

Cedrick struggled internally, but he didn’t move.

The woman gave him a threatening glare and questioned, “Hmm? How dare you disregard yourpromise?”

Cedrick stayed silent and swallowed the lump in his throat.

After much dilemma, he slowly held his left hand out and revealed his palm.

Seeing that, Gwendolyn wasted no time and hit his hand with the ruler with only half her strength.

Smack!

Cedrick stayed motionless, with not even a twitch of his eyebrows.

“Does it hurt?” Gwendolyn asked softly.

The man thought about it seriously for a second before answering truthfully, “It’s all right.”

He worked with guns all year round back then. Even though he enjoyed a life of comfort back inFairlake, he didn’t care for the callouses on his hands, so his skin was quite rough.

Only a red line was left behind at where he was hit.

It wasn’t a serious injury, and it was painful, but it didn’t hurt to the point where he couldn’t stand it.

Gwendolyn was not satisfied with his answer.

“It’s all right” meant it was just so-so.

It also meant that it didn’t hurt.

It looks like I hit him too softly.
