Chapter 212

Sitting next to Maverick’s grave, Gwendolyn laid her head on the tombstone as though she was leaning
into his embrace.

“Sheralyn has become much more well-behaved during this period. I’ve let her join Wright Construction
Group so she can start learning. While you gave me the company shares, I don’t have the energy to
helm it anymore. Once she can handle the company matters alone, I’ll slowly step away. It’s been so
boring without you flirting with me every day, Mavy. Recently, I’ve been dreaming about you. In those
dreams, you tell me you aren’t dead yet, that you purposefully lied to me to see if I truly love you. If only
that were true,” she muttered softly as tears streamed down her cheeks.Closing her eyes, she wrapped
her arms around the tombstone as though she was hugging his waist and sleeping in his embrace.

Quinton and William were asked by Gwendolyn to wait at a gazebo fifty meters away from the
cemetery. Therefore, they couldn’t see what was happening inside.

They had waited for an hour, but she still hadn’t left.

Unable to stifle his worry any longer, William bolted into the cemetery.

More than a dozen steps later, he was taken aback by the scene before him.

Gwendolyn was lying against the tombstone, looking as if she had fallen asleep.

As she didn’t have an umbrella, her head and body were covered in snow, making her look tragically
beautiful instead of wretched.

William was aware of how Gwendolyn had always loved Maverick, even if she insisted otherwise.

Unfortunately, Maverick was dead, so it didn’t matter what she said anymore.



Nico was gone, too. Before he left, he bade the bodyguards goodbye, saying he likely wouldn’t return
to Fairlake again.

Sighing, William reminisced about the time they spent together playing poker.

Upon pushing his thoughts aside, he trotted toward Gwendolyn with an umbrella and wiped the
unmelted snowflakes on her body away. “It’s getting late, Ms. Harris. We should return home. Don’t you
need to check up on Ms. Wright’s work progress later in the afternoon?”

Wordlessly, Gwendolyn opened her eyes and left the cemetery.

Upon returning to Wright Construction Group, she saw Sheralyn already waiting in her office.

Before sitting in her chair, Gwendolyn swiftly removed her fur coat as the heater in the office was
turned on.

Sheralyn fearfully delivered the business proposal she had spent all night writing to Gwendolyn.

Expressionlessly, Gwendolyn accepted the proposal and read through it carefully. Occasionally, she’d
circle something on the paper with a red pen while cruelly judging Sheralyn’s work. “This is wrong. This
sentence is too confusing and incoherent. I mentioned before these proposals must be written
concisely and be easily understood. There are a few wrong words here and here. Whenever you finish
writing, you need to check it multiple times instead of being cursory…”

The more Sheralyn listened to Gwendolyn’s critique, the more awful she felt.

Pouting, she stretched her opened palms toward Gwendolyn. “I get it. I’ll be careful next time. Go
ahead and hit me.”

In response, Gwendolyn stared at her with great intrigue.



Sheralyn lowered her head, staring at her toes, and gulped anxiously. When she heard Gwendolyn
opening a drawer, her body stiffened, and she closed her eyes, waiting for the immense pain to arrive.

However, it never did.

Puzzled, she opened her eyes and saw Gwendolyn had placed a chocolate candy in her hand.

“This is your first time proactively accepting your punishment, so instead of hitting you, I’ve decided to
reward your good behavior today,” explained Gwendolyn.

“Really?” Sheralyn was overjoyed to hear she wouldn’t be punished. As she peered at Gwendolyn, she
found the latter less irritating. “Thank you, Gwendolyn! You’re the best! I’ll be sure to learn well!”

“Mhm, you may leave now.”

Elated, Sheralyn left with the candy.

As Gwendolyn stared at Sheralyn’s back, she shook her head resignedly. Honestly, I have no
experience I can draw from to educate Sheralyn, considering I’ve never raised a child before and am
the youngest in my family. Although, that doesn’t mean I’ve never seen how others have done it. I think
this is how Treyton guided me in the past. Not too strict, but not too lenient as well. Punish first, then
reward. It’s best to strike a perfect balance between being stern and kind.

Two months later, Sheralyn had made significant progress. She didn’t learn that quickly, but she was
focused.

When Gwendolyn checked Sheralyn’s business proposal, she couldn’t spot any mistakes. Contented,
Gwendolyn suggested, “Well done. Next time, I’ll hand a project to you. Try doing it alone.”

Sheralyn nodded. “Okay. I’ll do my best, but…” A complicated expression set on her countenance.



“But?”

“Can I not work overtime today? I’m going out for dinner later tonight…” Sheralyn’s voice grew quieter
as she spoke. Additionally, her earlobes were turning red.

“Oh? A date?” It was then Gwendolyn noticed how well-dressed Sheralyn was. With a knowing grin,
she asked, “Is it a man?”

Biting her lip shyly, Sheralyn nodded.

“What kind of person is he? What is his family background? You still remember the promise you made
me, right?”

“Don’t worry. He’s from a normal family, and he treats me well. In fact, he helped me a lot at work.
Besides… he’s quite handsome. We’ve just started dating, though, so it’s difficult to tell how it’ll go.”
Embarrassed, Sheralyn changed the topic. “A-Anyway, I need to return to my desk to pack my things,
Gwendolyn. I’ll see you later.”

Gwendolyn nodded and watched her leave. So, he helped her at work, huh? That suggests he’s an
employee of Wright Construction Group.

When her train of thought ended, she asked Yulia to investigate Sheralyn’s love interest.

In the end, she discovered the man Sheralyn was dating was Ajax White, an employee from the same
department.

Gwendolyn was shocked because Ajax and Yulia were people she transferred from Shadow Bell to
Wright Construction Group. Hence, they were people she absolutely trusted.

The next day, Gwendolyn summoned Ajax to her office in secret. “How was last night’s date?”



Embarrassed, Ajax scratched the back of his head. “You know about it already?”

“Do you really like Sheralyn?”

He nodded seriously. “I heard about your conflicts with her in the past. Initially, when she joined Wright
Construction Group, I planned to teach her a lesson for you. However, after spending time with her, I
realized she’s only slightly arrogant. She acts audaciously only because of her spoiled upbringing.
Sometimes, she’s quite cute. I genuinely like her.”

“All right, then. You can leave now.” Gwendolyn didn’t plan to interfere much with Sheralyn’s
relationship since it seemed stable.

Three months later, Sheralyn and Ajax held a big wedding at a church in Fairlake.

On the same day, Gwendolyn handed the Wright Construction Group shares in her possession to
Sheralyn.

Before the ceremony began, various business partners and CEOs gathered around the giant cake on
the lawn, chatting and drinking.

Gwendolyn never enjoyed those events, so she sat quietly at a small table with Joaquin.

The Mossey family was invited too. When Jerome and Madelyn arrived, they chatted with Gwendolyn,
as it had been a while since they met.

Gwendolyn was sharp enough to notice Inez wasn’t present.

With a resigned smile, Madelyn explained, “She’s a stubborn child. No matter how much her father and
I persuaded her, she went straight to Lightspring the moment her leg recovered.”



Lightspring? Gwendolyn smiled wordlessly. It seems Inez is sincerely determined to be my sister-in-
law. I guess my brother will have to deal with a clingy love interest. Still, I’m curious to see if Inez has
what it takes to pursue him.

Madelyn shot a glance at Jerome. In response, Jerome came up with an excuse to chat with Joaquin at
the side.

Once the men were gone, Madelyn approached Gwendolyn and asked in a small voice, “I heard you
handed the forty percent shares in your possession to Sheralyn. Aren’t you afraid she’ll try to hurt you
again after how they treated you in the past?”

Gwendolyn grinned casually. “There’s nothing I’m worried about. I can take it back whenever I want.”
Besides, I have Yulia and Ajax keeping an eye on Sheralyn in Wright Construction Group. Even if Frida
and Sheralyn have been putting up an act in front of me over the past few months, they still can’t defeat
me.

It’s such a shame Maverick passed away. Madelyn sighed gently and asked, “Now that you’re not
actively in charge of Wright Construction Group and Angle, what will you do? Be an idle boss and do
whatever catches your fancy?”

Gwendolyn shook her head. “Once I’m done with the matters here, I’m leaving Fairlake.”

Her words surprised Madelyn. “Leaving? Where are you going?”

Gwendolyn stared straight at her. “Salinsburgh.”
