Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

Pauline asked, "What man?"

"Martin said that he met a man at her apartment the last time he went there. That man didn't seem like someone you could easily mess with, and he seemed to have some kind of special connection with Gwenda. Mum, do you think that man is the one who's guiding her?"

Hearing this, Pauline was lost in thought as she said, "It's quite possible! Do you know the identity of that man?"

"I don't think I do. I've never met him. But I heard Martin say that he suspects that the man is the reason that Gwenda's so ready to cancel the engagement."

"Who on earth could it be?"

Pauline frowned in thought as a feeling of dread suddenly consumed her.

"Should we check it out, mum?"

"Of course we do!"

Pauline's eyes flashed with determination as she gritted her teeth. "I must figure out the cause of Gwenda's recent change, and I must know who that man is."

She could not allow these sudden changes to destroy her carefully constructed plan.

Gwenda Evans must be under her control!

"To be honest, I think that Gwenda's breakup with Martin is a good thing. At the very least, I don't have to figure out how to make them cancel their engagement." Gretchen remarked with satisfaction as she hugged a cushion to her chest.

Hearing this, Pauline stared at her daughter and chastised her. "Don't be ridiculous. Don't you know that the sudden cancellation of the engagement will bring much negative impact to you?" "Those rumours will pass sooner or later."

Gretchen shrugged it off. "Dad's already agreed to this, and the Morels don't have any objections to what Martin's doing. I'm sure that it wouldn't take long for the gossiping to die down." "You still can't let your guard down either way. As long as we haven't taken control of the Evans family, we must remain alert at all times. Besides, Gwenda did say that the feud between you two isn't over." Hearing this, Gretchen clenched her teeth together and bit out. "Let her bring it on then! I still haven't avenged myself for the last time she humiliated me! I refuse to believe that I will ever lose to her!" Seeing that her daughter had regained her fighting spirit, Pauline smiled with approval as she said, "Until we find out the identity of the man supporting Gwenda, we'll do nothing for the time being. We'll continue our plans after we get the necessary information."

"Okay."

Gretchen nodded.

In the following days, Pauline sent a lot of people to investigate Gwenda.

As a result, this matter was soon brought to Olivier's attention.

"Boss, there's been some people investigating Miss Evans recently."

Otto reported carefully to the man standing in front of the French windows with his back to him. Both were currently in Oliver's office. Hearing that, Olivier turned to face his assistant. The sunlight that poured in from the French windows made his shadow appear longer. His brows furrowing lightly, Olivier asked, "Who?" as his eyes sharpened.

"We're still looking into it. But I've already blocked off any information that pertains to Miss Evans, so they won't be able to find anything." Otto had taken action the moment he noticed that something was off about the whole thing.

He knew what Gwenda meant to Olivier, so he took the initiative to do something about it.

"Good."

Olivier nodded, satisfied with Otto's performance in regards to this matter.

Seeing that his boss was in a good mood, Otto's gossipy thoughts surged and he asked, "So, how's it going with Miss Evans, boss?"

Olivier raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you bored?"

"Oh, no," Otto said sheepishly with an awkward chuckle, "It's just that Madam Melanie has been asking after you, but I have no idea about it. So..." "Grandma called you?"

"Yeah."

Otto nodded honestly. "Madam Melanie kept talking about Miss Evans, saying that you've been trying to date her for two months but with no progress. So, she says that if things keep going the way they are right now, she's going to do something about it."

"She's going to do something about it?"☐☐☐☐☐☐
