Shattered Vows Shining Comeback

Chapter 14 Her Wedding Ring

Cedar had no choice but to call Gwen again. He tried calling her a few times, only to be notified that she was on another

call.

After Cedar called her for the umpteenth time, Jake snatched the phone from him. At the same time, Gwen had accepted the call.

“That’s enough, Cedar! Tell Jake that he can kiss the expo goodbye!” Gwen said impatiently.

Nothing but silence was coming from the other end of the line. A moment later, Jake’s voice rang out.

“It’s me.”

Gwen’s breath was hitched in her throat upon hearing his voice, but Jake didn’t seem to mind her rude response. “If Hall Group increases the donation from 300 million dollars all the way to 500 million dollars, will we be eligible to join the medical expo?”

At that time, Gwen was already strapped in Ryan’s sports car. “What’s the point in doing this, Jake?”

Just now, Ryan insisted on taking Gwen on a tour around the night markets in Dornwick after seeing how busy she was with work. She couldn’t turn him down, so she ended up getting into the car.

“If 500 million dollars isn’t enough, then I’ll make it a billion. If this amount still isn’t enough, I’ll report this incident to the Global Chamber of Commerce. They’ll be the ones in charge of determining whether or not my company is eligible. Your company isn’t the only organizer of this expo, after all.”

“You…” Gwen didn’t know what to say after hearing Jake’s threat–laced words.

Ryan, who was driving, grew impatient as well. He snatched Gwen’s phone from her immediately.

“You really are shameless, huh? You’ve already divorced my darling Gwen, yet you keep badgering her! Are you trying to get back together with her? Hah! You should forget about it! She’s mine! By the way, we’re on the way to a love hotel right now! Goodbye!”

After that, Ryan hung up on Jake immediately before throwing Gwen’s phone aside. Poor Gwen was left flabbergasted.

“Love hotel?”

“Haha! You must be feeling confused right now! Will you believe me if I tell you that sentence is enough to g bastard an aneurysm?”

Gwen was rendered speechless by Ryan’s response.

Jake’s expression turned stormy as soon as the call ended, but Cedar didn’t know the exact reason why. He mumbled, Ms. Lawson was the one who resigned in the first place. Why would she target Hall Group all of a sudden?

“Also, how did she become the executive assistant in an international company like Savant Group? This company is known for its difficulty in getting hired. How on earth did she manage to pull this feat off?”

The same questions reverberated in Jake’s mind as well. The more he thought about them, the worse his mood became.

“Book two tickets to Dornwick right now,” he ordered. “Also, if I remember correctly, the current president of the Multinational Chamber of Commerce is still a Quinn, right?”

“Yes, sir. Recently, an election for the next president was hosted. Mr. Pedro Quinn has renewed his presidential term.” “Alright. Tell Theodore that I’ll see him in eight hours.”

Theodore Quinn was Pedro’s only son, making him the scion of the Quinn family, which was one of the four greatest families. He was known for being a playboy. Whenever he went out, he was often flanked by beautiful women.

Jake decided to return to Hall Manor before his departure to Dornwick. He needed to pack his luggage and have it checked into the flight.

But the moment he walked through the front door, he saw workers from an interior design firm walking out of the express elevator.

“Jake, you…”

Jake had a bad feeling that something happened, which elicited a frown from him. He strode into the expression elevator right away before the two women could rise from the couch to welcome him home. After that, he headed straight toward the master bedroom on the second floor.

Everything in the bedroom was brand new. The curtains, the bedsheets, and even the closet were all new and untouched. Gwen’s traces were completely eradicated from this room.

“Who did this?” Jake turned to glance around him.

The maid in charge of cleaning the second floor could only tremble in fright. “M–Ms. Charles was the one who…” Jake’s expression became thunderous immediately. He was about to lash out when he heard Sienna’s voice. “Jake!”

She waddled over to Jake, looking like a typical pregnant woman. Then, she said graciously, “I’ve already found out about the truth concerning you and Ms. Lawson,

“Since you two have already gotten divorced, everything in this house should be swapped out, no? Surely you won’t blame me for making this decision without consulting you, right?”

Jake didn’t respond to Sienna. Instead, he glanced at Sarah, who stood next to her.

Sarah quickly denied her own involvement. “It’s that woman’s fault for leaving a ring behind! Sienna happened to see it! That’s why I had no choice but to tell her the truth!”

Truthfully speaking, Sarah was extremely dissatisfied with Gwen’s actions. She was the reason why Sarah got interrogated by Sienna the whole day.

“If you ask me, I think that woman did it on purpose! She doesn’t want us to live in peace!”

“What ring?” Jake asked with a frown.

He never saw the ring despite having stayed in the bedroom all this time. How was it possible for Sienna to find the ring by chance?
