Wooing My Ex-Wife Novel novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513 Seeing Evelyn At The Gala 

Cedrick halted in his tracks and looked at Gwendolyn quietly from the side as he waited to hear her 

response. 

With a charming smile on her face, Gwendolyn answered, “I’m a married woman with a pair of cute fraternal twins. My husband is the CEO of Jenson Group. I think you’ll meet him soon, Mr. Gray, I think you guys will be such friends. Also, I’m glad we’re getting along well.” 

Cedrick’s expression became friendlier when he heard Gwendolyn’s graceful response. He then walked up to her elegantly and wrapped his arm around her waist. 

When Gwendolyn turned around and saw Cedrick’s handsome face, she subconsciously flashed a sincere smile. 

“You’re here! Let me introduce you to someone. This is Mr. Gray, Dovil Group’s founder and CEO. He’s also Astoria’s crown prince.” With a bright smile on her face, Gwendolyn turned toward Neal and uttered. “Mr. Gray, this is my husband. The CEO of Jenson Group and head of the Jenson family? 

The men looked at each other and shook each other’s hands. 

Neal was taken aback. “I never thought Mr. Jenson would be your husband, Ms. Harris! What a coincidence!” 

Gwendolyn froze momentarily and looked at Cedrick. “Do you guys know each other?” 

“Yes. I have previously cooperated with Astoria on a cross-border arrest mission, and I have worked with Mr. Gray twice. We’ve known each other since then.” Cedrick explained. 

Neal noticed the affection the couple had for each other and clicked his tongue enviously. “Mr. Jenson and Ms. Harris, not only are you both business geniuses, but you guys are also deeply in love with each other. In Ferropene, they will regard you guys as a match made in heaven.” 

The trio laughed, creating a harmonious atmosphere. 

Thinking it was time to make her next move, Gwendolyn mentioned the collaboration. 

However, Neal preferred to do things by the book, so he didn’t accept her suggestion on the spot. “Ms. Harris, I would love to collaborate with Harris Group, but I prefer to play it by the book. When the time comes, I’ll hold a tender event. Perhaps you should be there, Ms. Harris. Please get your subordinates to draft a business proposal. If everything goes well, I think Dovil Group will most probably end up working with Harris Group.” 

Hearing that, Gwendolyn knew she had no choice but to attend the event and go through the motions. 

Thus, she accepted Neal’s invitation gratefully and replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Gray. In order to show you my commitment. I’ll personally prepare all the paperwork to strike a collaboration deal with Dovil Group.” 

Neal looked at her in admiration and praised her after that. 

However, Gwendolyn wasn’t pleased because she couldn’t obtain the collaboration deal on the spot. Hence, she couldn’t be bothered by his compliments. 

Although she was smiling politely, she was starting to get distracted. 

Seeing Evelyn At The Gala 

Fortunately for her, Cedrick and Neal were chatting away happily, so neither of them noticed the slight change in her expression. 

Suddenly, a woman in a white gown walked past Gwendolyn. 

Gwendolyn saw the woman from the corners of her eyes and frowned immediately. 

When Gwendolyn lifted her gaze, that woman in white had already walked away. That woman’s back looks so familiar! That looks like someone I know! 

The smile on Gwendolyn’s face vanished at once, and a solemn expression replaced it. Could that really be her? Why on earth would she show up at an event like this? 

While Cedrick and Neal were still conversing. Gwendolyn had gone after that woman in white. She simply looks too familiar. The more I look at her, the more she looks like Evelyn! She’s wearing an expensive gown, so she must be the female companion for one of the CEOs here. Could she have hooked up with a big shot after she escaped from the countryside? 

Gwendolyn was feeling uneasy, so she picked up her pace. 

The hall was packed, and all of a sudden, the woman in white disappeared after she walked past 

a tall man. 

Gwendolyn halted in her tracks and checked her surroundings, unable to find that familiar figure anymore.

Terry was entertaining an attendee when he saw the anxious expression on Gwendolyn’s face. Upon excusing himself, he approached her to ask, “Ms. Harris, are you all right? Is there a problem?”

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows and recalled the familiar figure she saw. “I think I saw someone I know. She’s a slender woman in a white gown, and she walks gracefully. Do you know anyone like that?” That question stumped Terry. “Ms. Harris, I don’t think I can help you with that. Almost all the CEOs at this gala brought their female companions along. Besides, a lot of them are dressed in white. Not only are they all slender, but they’re all very beautiful. I don’t think I can point out the woman you’re looking for. However, over half of the bigwigs here are foreigners, and their female companions are also foreigners. These women have high net worth and are popular. You might still be able to find the woman you’re looking for, Ms. Harris. I can get the servers to jot down the names of all the women in white. Once the event ends, they’ll give you a list of names.” 

Gwendolyn was happy with the suggestion. “Thank you, Mr. Jenkins.” 

“You’re welcome. It’s the least I can do.” 

That incident ruined Gwendolyn’s mood, and she had to endure the gala listlessly. 

Cedrick knew something was amiss, but he couldn’t mention anything because Neal was there. Hence, he merely held her hand to comfort her. 

The business gala ended at around eleven that night.
