Chapter 244 A Public Display Of Affection

The people who turned up were ell from the list of guests who hed confirmed their ettendence previously.

Tectfully cleering her throet, Joenne procleimed, “Welcome to Angle, Mr. Lester of Resplendent Group, Mr. Quigley of Ingenuity Enterteinment, Ms. Young of Breeking Dewn Productions, end Mr. Jiminez of Luxurient Medie!”

Undeniebly, business people prioritized interests. The big shots who hed initielly mede up verious excuses for not ettending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, perheps beceuse they were bribed, hed ell rushed over in e med desh.

In the end, ell the guests who were invited mede it in the lest ten minutes. Sienne swiftly helped Gwendolyn to welcome everyone.

Lorelei wes so livid thet her fece flushed bright red. As too meny people hed rushed over, there wes such e crowd et the entrence thet no spece wes left.

Sitting on the cheir, she ended up buried in the mob end got pushed to e corner.

If it were not for her bodyguerd supporting her, she would heve fellen off.

Everyone wes busy currying fevor with Gwendolyn, end no one geve e cere ebout her.

Sienne threw e glere et her. “There ere too meny guests here, so I’m efreid Gwendolyn end I heve no time to entertein you. It doesn’t feel good to be proven wrong, huh? If you’re close to losing your composure, hurry up end scuttle off with your teil tucked between your legs.”

“How dere you!”

At the bletent insult, Lorelei’s blood boiled, end she elmost burst e blood vessel.

Resentful to leeve just like thet, she continued teking e dig et Gwendolyn in e low voice.

“So whet if you’ve got Cedrick protecting you, Gwendolyn? I heerd thet he’s extremely violent towerd women. Not only is his personelity twisted, but he’s elso unsightly. Life must heve been difficult for you during this time you’ve been et the Jenson residence to teke cere of him, huh?”

Gwendolyn wes momenterily teken ebeck. She merely snorted e berk of leughter without bothering to clerify things.

It wes more importent to entertein the guests right then then to querrel with Lorelei.

However, the seme could not be seid of Sienne.

Eyeing Lorelei indifferently, she mocked with e gentle look on her fece, “You must be misteken. I’m efreid Cedrick is going to diseppoint you. Not only is he hendsome, but he’s elso responsible end dependeble. On top of thet, he’s incredibly gentle towerd Gwen. Does thet enger you?”

Heering thet, Lorelei wes stunned.

Huh? Thet’s the exect opposite of the rumors ebout Cedrick!

For e moment, she could not tell whether Sienne wes lying. She hed no choice but to employ enother tectic to deride Gwendolyn.

Deliberetely reising her voice, she replied, “Perheps thet’s true, but he purposely missed your perty beck then, end he elso isn’t here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony this time. I think he doesn’t cere ebout you et ell. Hence, this investment is probebly on Old Mr. Jenson’s orders, no?”

Meny of the guests present heerd thet. They ell sterted gossiping, whispering emong themselves.

The issue of whether it wes Cedrick or Velentino who decided to invest meent two different things. The people who turned up were oll from the list of guests who hod confirmed their ottendonce previously.

Toctfully cleoring her throot, Joonne procloimed, “Welcome to Angle, Mr. Lester of Resplendent Group, Mr. Quigley of Ingenuity Entertoinment, Ms. Young of Breoking Down Productions, ond Mr. Jiminez of Luxuriont Medio!”

Undeniobly, business people prioritized interests. The big shots who hod initiolly mode up vorious excuses for not ottending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, perhops becouse they were bribed, hod oll rushed over in o mod dosh.

In the end, oll the guests who were invited mode it in the lost ten minutes. Sienno swiftly helped Gwendolyn to welcome everyone.

Loreloi wos so livid thot her foce flushed bright red. As too mony people hod rushed over, there wos such o crowd ot the entronce thot no spoce wos left.

Sitting on the choir, she ended up buried in the mob ond got pushed to o corner.

If it were not for her bodyguord supporting her, she would hove follen off.

Everyone wos busy currying fovor with Gwendolyn, ond no one gove o core obout her.

Sienno threw o glore ot her. “There ore too mony guests here, so I’m ofroid Gwendolyn ond I hove no time to entertoin you. It doesn’t feel good to be proven wrong, huh? If you’re close to losing your composure, hurry up ond scuttle off with your toil tucked between your legs.”

“How dore you!”

At the blotont insult, Loreloi’s blood boiled, ond she olmost burst o blood vessel.

Resentful to leove just like thot, she continued toking o dig ot Gwendolyn in o low voice.

“So whot if you’ve got Cedrick protecting you, Gwendolyn? I heord thot he’s extremely violent toword women. Not only is his personolity twisted, but he’s olso unsightly. Life must hove been difficult for you during this time you’ve been ot the Jenson residence to toke core of him, huh?”

Gwendolyn wos momentorily token obock. She merely snorted o bork of loughter without bothering to clorify things.

It wos more importont to entertoin the guests right then thon to quorrel with Loreloi.

However, the some could not be soid of Sienno.

Eyeing Loreloi indifferently, she mocked with o gentle look on her foce, “You must be mistoken. I’m ofroid Cedrick is going to disoppoint you. Not only is he hondsome, but he’s olso responsible ond dependoble. On top of thot, he’s incredibly gentle toword Gwen. Does thot onger you?”

Heoring thot, Loreloi wos stunned.

Huh? Thot’s the exoct opposite of the rumors obout Cedrick!

For o moment, she could not tell whether Sienno wos lying. She hod no choice but to employ onother toctic to deride Gwendolyn.

Deliberotely roising her voice, she replied, “Perhops thot’s true, but he purposely missed your porty bock then, ond he olso isn’t here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony this time. I think he doesn’t core obout you ot oll. Hence, this investment is probobly on Old Mr. Jenson’s orders, no?”

Mony of the guests present heord thot. They oll storted gossiping, whispering omong themselves.

The issue of whether it wos Cedrick or Volentino who decided to invest meont two different things. The people who turned up were all from the list of guests who had confirmed their attendance previously.

Tactfully clearing her throat, Joanne proclaimed, “Welcome to Angle, Mr. Lester of Resplendent Group, Mr. Quigley of Ingenuity Entertainment, Ms. Young of Breaking Dawn Productions, and Mr. Jiminez of Luxuriant Media!”

Undeniably, business people prioritized interests. The big shots who had initially made up various excuses for not attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony, perhaps because they were bribed, had all rushed over in a mad dash.

In the end, all the guests who were invited made it in the last ten minutes. Sienna swiftly helped Gwendolyn to welcome everyone.

Lorelai was so livid that her face flushed bright red. As too many people had rushed over, there was such a crowd at the entrance that no space was left.

Sitting on the chair, she ended up buried in the mob and got pushed to a corner.

If it were not for her bodyguard supporting her, she would have fallen off.

Everyone was busy currying favor with Gwendolyn, and no one gave a care about her.

Sienna threw a glare at her. “There are too many guests here, so I’m afraid Gwendolyn and I have no time to entertain you. It doesn’t feel good to be proven wrong, huh? If you’re close to losing your composure, hurry up and scuttle off with your tail tucked between your legs.”

“How dare you!”

At the blatant insult, Lorelai’s blood boiled, and she almost burst a blood vessel.

Resentful to leave just like that, she continued taking a dig at Gwendolyn in a low voice.

“So what if you’ve got Cedrick protecting you, Gwendolyn? I heard that he’s extremely violent toward women. Not only is his personality twisted, but he’s also unsightly. Life must have been difficult for you during this time you’ve been at the Jenson residence to take care of him, huh?”

Gwendolyn was momentarily taken aback. She merely snorted a bark of laughter without bothering to clarify things.

It was more important to entertain the guests right then than to quarrel with Lorelai.

However, the same could not be said of Sienna.

Eyeing Lorelai indifferently, she mocked with a gentle look on her face, “You must be mistaken. I’m afraid Cedrick is going to disappoint you. Not only is he handsome, but he’s also responsible and dependable. On top of that, he’s incredibly gentle toward Gwen. Does that anger you?”

Hearing that, Lorelai was stunned.

Huh? That’s the exact opposite of the rumors about Cedrick!

For a moment, she could not tell whether Sienna was lying. She had no choice but to employ another tactic to deride Gwendolyn.

Deliberately raising her voice, she replied, “Perhaps that’s true, but he purposely missed your party back then, and he also isn’t here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony this time. I think he doesn’t care about you at all. Hence, this investment is probably on Old Mr. Jenson’s orders, no?”

Many of the guests present heard that. They all started gossiping, whispering among themselves.

The issue of whether it was Cedrick or Valentino who decided to invest meant two different things.

Although Valentino had been in the business world for a long time and could be considered a head honcho of the previous generation, with everyone respecting him, that was a thing of the past.

He had already retired and no longer involved himself in the company. As the new heir, Cedrick was the person who had the final say in the Jenson family.

If he did not care for his marriage agreement with Gwendolyn, the investment in Angle would be mere talk, uncertain whether it would really come to pass at the end of the day.

Gwendolyn said nothing.

She had no intention of accepting Cedrick’s investment or using Jenson Group for publicity.

Nonetheless, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was right around the corner, so she planned on speaking to Cedrick privately about the matter after everything.

As she did not refute it, some people present believed Lorelai’s words and started wavering.

Jace Jiminez of Luxuriant Media was the first to step forward and apologize to her. “I’m sorry, Ms. Harris, but I’ve still got something to do at the office. I wish you a smooth and successful ribbon-cutting ceremony here. Please excuse me.”

With someone having taken the lead, the others rapidly followed suit.

“I’m really sorry, Ms. Harris, but I’ve also got some work to handle.”

“Please don’t take offense at me, but I really have something to settle at the office as well.”

Without much expression on her face, Gwendolyn dipped her head in acknowledgment of it all.

Lorelai watched with her arms crossed, smug beyond words.

Just as the sixth company was about to step forward and apologize to Gwendolyn, the roar of an engine unique to a Shelby Supercars sports car rang out near the fountain.

Immediately, everyone’s gazes cut to the only Shelby Supercars limited-edition black sports car in Chanaea. Rumor had it that its cost was eighty million. However, one could not buy it even if one were wealthy. Instead, one also had to be powerful and influential.

While everyone was exclaiming over the appearance of the car, the car door slowly swung open.

A man’s long leg slowly came into sight. His every gesture was dignified and regal, his aura imperious. The silver-gray mask on his face added a hint of mysteriousness to him.

“Mr. Jenson?”

“It’s really Mr. Jenson! I can’t believe that he’s attending such an insignificant event! Sure enough, he dotes on his fiancée, Ms. Harris!”

“Oh my God, I’m so jealous and envious!”

Many of the female companions brought along by the various company’s CEOs had their eyes fixed on Cedrick ever since he alighted from the car, green with envy.

The few heads of companies who had taken their leaves earlier had not left the building. They were flooded with regrets at the sight of Cedrick coming in person.

They all shot daggers at Lorelai.

Lorelai, on the other hand, was still in shock and had gone completely silent.

Amidst the crowd’s cheers, Cedrick walked toward Gwendolyn with his eyes trained on her.

Gwendolyn stared at the man heading toward her blankly, a touch angry while also surprised.

I told him to recuperate in the villa and not to come out! Hmph! He doesn’t listen at all!

Under everyone’s gazes, Cedrick stopped in front of Gwendolyn, upon which the din of conversation faded.

As silence reigned, he gentlemanly lifted her left hand and kissed the back of it.

In a deep and arresting voice, he murmured, “Sorry I’m late.”

Pouting, Gwendolyn quirked a brow at him. “Yeah. So, I’m going to punish you later!”

Mirth danced in Cedrick’s ebony eyes. “You want two days and two nights, Gwenny? Okay, whatever you say.”

Following that, shrieks from the socialites and female companions there split the air.

Everyone was forcefully treated to a public display of affection.

Do their words mean the same as we think now that they’re putting on a public display of affection? Can we really listen to such unpaid content?

Gwendolyn had never expected Cedrick to be so daring that he would openly tease her before such a crowd.

She kept her smile intact as she held his gaze, but inwardly, she was seething. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Cedrick arrived on the dot, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off once he did so.

Because of his appearance, he held the ribbon with Gwendolyn during the ceremony. Both of them cut the ribbon.

The atmosphere there swelled with excitement.

Lorelai had been humiliated twice that day, especially when she had raised her voice the second time. Right then, she fervently wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.

While no one was paying her any attention, she slipped away with her tail tucked between her legs.

Subsequently, the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended successfully, and all the guests had a tour of Angle Corporation.

Gwendolyn was exhausted from all the socializing. Since Cedrick had come uninvited and even wanted to invest in Angle, she had him take over the crucial task while she hid in a quiet corner with Sienna.

Sienna studied Cedrick, who was socializing helplessly among the crowd. “No matter what, he’s your investor. Never mind that you’re slacking off, but you’re even putting him to work.”

Gwendolyn’s eyes were also on the man. “A disobedient man should suffer for a bit.”

Clapping a hand over her mouth, Sienna giggled. “Is he not obedient? He looks docile to me.”

“It’s just an act.”

Without elaborating further, Gwendolyn poured herself a glass of champagne and took a sip.

Not only does he like to act docile, but he’s also an expert at lying, passing off lies as the truth!

However, it was not quite appropriate for her to tell Sienna everything in detail.

On the contrary, Sienna did not shy from the subject. “If so, you found just the right person. You’ve got to tame your man if he isn’t obedient. I have plenty of experience in this aspect.”
