Chapter 772

Charles was about to get to his feet, but Nico was already one step ahead of him. The latter did not
want him to touch anything on Cedrick’s office desk.

Nico was too shocked to speak by the time he finished reading the document.

Even Charles’ expression turned grim. Clenching his teeth, he said, “Cedrick, Gwen’s been missing for
twelve hours since noon. How are you still in the mood to drink and smoke in the office? Is this how you
should be handling it?”

Without lifting his gaze, Cedrick hushed the man. “Not so loud. The kids are asleep. I’ll kick you out
tomorrow if you wake them up.”

Of course, Charles knew he should not be overreacting in front of the children. Hence, he took a deep
breath and asked softly, “What are you planning to do now?”

“Wait.”

“Wait?” Charles stared at Cedrick in disbelief. “The person behind this is obviously making a move on
her because of you. Sure, you hold an important position in Salinsburgh, but you’ve also made many
enemies along the way. You’re the one who failed to protect her. What if she gets hurt if you keep
waiting like this?”

Charles believed there was a special bond between mothers and their children.

Benny and Zendy had already woken up from a bad dream about Gwen getting hurt. I don’t believe
their dreams were just dreams. Maybe… Maybe Gwendolyn’s already injured. Those guys are crazy.
There’s nothing they wouldn’t dare to do when they already dared to make a move on Chanaea’s
wealthiest man. Having a broken limb is nothing, but what if Gwen got injected with poison or dies?
What do we do?



The more Charles thought about it, the more unsettled he became.

His eyes grew red with rage—a sign of being on the verge of losing control of his emotions. Even his
hands that held the documents were trembling with rage.

Right then, Cedrick lifted his head and cast Charles a mocking gaze. “Get yourself together, Charles.
Have you forgotten that you’re already in a relationship? You’re right. It’s my mistake this time. I failed
to protect her, but are you sure you can do it better than me?”

Charles’ complexion grew paler.

For the past few years, Charles noticed how great Cedrick and Gwendolyn had been together. Not only
did Cedrick take good care of his wife and children, but he also managed to perform well at work and
even take care of the family chores.

Charles knew he could not do any better than Cedrick.

On top of that, the number of enemies Charles had in the business world was nowhere lesser than
Cedrick’s. More importantly, he was not as influential as Cedrick. It would have been impossible for
Charles to acquire the documents.

Feeling dejected, Charles kept silent.

Right then, Nico said sternly, “This is not the time to get mad at each other. The more urgent task at
hand is to find a way to save her. Cedrick, please tell us your plans. I’m sure we’ll have more ideas if
we brainstorm.”
