Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 210 Making The Rules

Frida appeared stunned for a moment.

Then, she averted her eyes and lowered her head with a bitter smile on her face. “He didn’t say

anything. He just asked me to take good care of you.”

Gwendolyn frowned with a serious expression, obviously not believing her words.

Frida went on, “Actually, I don’t blame you for his death. It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so mean to you

back then and had treated you well, maybe you wouldn’t have wanted a divorce, and he wouldn’t have

to try to get back together with you…”

She could not bring herself to finish the sentence as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Gwendolyn handed her a box of tissues. Her eyes reddened again as she said with a lump in her

throat, “Regardless of whether you are sincere this time, I will personally go to the Wright residence the

day after tomorrow and return it to you. “

“Really?” Frida cried even harder. “I’m sorry. You’re such a good girl. I’m really sorry for not

appreciating you in the past!”

Gwendolyn sighed and replied flatly, “I’m just not short of money or a house to live in, so you don’t

need to thank me. Maverick has helped you pay off the grudges between you and me.”

Frida felt even more guilty as she sobbed so hard that her shoulders were heaving.

Seeing that, Gwendolyn walked up to her and gently patted her on the back to calm her down. Then,

she said, “By the way, I accept his will, but I don’t have the energy to manage Wright Construction

Group anymore.”

Frida stopped crying and looked up at her. “What is your plan?”

With a look of determination in her eyes, Gwendolyn replied, “If you trust me, I need you to be cruel for

once.”

“What do you want to do?”

“You’ll find out the day after tomorrow.”

Frida met her gaze with suspicion and anticipation.

She now regretted pushing away such a good daughter-in-law back then, but she knew that regret was

pointless.

In the next two days, Gwendolyn asked someone to find the best etiquette coach in Fairlake. Then, she

went to the Wright residence with four bodyguards, including Elven, and the etiquette coach.

Frida and Sheralyn were still wearing the housekeeper uniforms in the Wright residence. When

Gwendolyn arrived, they were cleaning the house.

The two of them had been behaving themselves recently. Hence, the housekeepers who used to vent

their anger on them did not make things difficult for them anymore either.

Gwendolyn sat in the main seat of the living room drinking coffee, a property transfer agreement for the

Wright residence on the coffee table.

When Frida showed up, Gwendolyn asked her to sit on the small couch on the side.

As soon as Sheralyn saw Gwendolyn, she immediately cursed, “You b*tch! How dare you come here

again! It’s all your fault that our family ended up like this! You jinx! You—”

“Shut up!” Frida yelled in a stern voice.

Sheralyn was frustrated. “Mom, has something gotten into you recently? Why can’t I scold her? Why

are you defending her? Are you still my mother?”

Frida sighed in disappointment, not bothering to reply to her daughter.

However, Gwendolyn was not angry as she said flatly, “You can scold me to your heart’s content after

I’m done talking.”

I can’t believe she’s actually letting me scold her however I want. Baffled, Sheralyn asked, “What do

you want to talk about?”

Glancing at the document on the table, Gwendolyn declared, “I can return the Wright residence to you

and even transfer my forty percent shares of Wright Construction Group to you and forty-five percent to

your future children.”

Sheralyn was stupefied. “Would you be so kind?”

“But I have some conditions. The shares will be transferred to you after you are capable of running

Wright Construction Group, while I’ll only let Mrs. Wright sign the transfer agreement for the Wright

residence after you meet all the conditions.”

“As expected. I knew you wouldn’t be so kind for no reason.” Sheralyn rolled her eyes. “But what are

your conditions?”

“Firstly, you’re not allowed to marry a wealthy man. You need to find a loyal and honest ordinary man to

be a live-in son-in-law and have children that carry the Wright last name. Secondly, you have bad

manners, but that’s okay as I hired you an etiquette coach. I’ll make sure you’re trained hard. Thirdly,

when you’ve mastered all etiquette and manners, I’ll let you work in Wright Construction Group to learn

business management. When you can handle projects independently, I’ll give you the shares.”

Sheralyn was dumbfounded after listening to Gwendolyn’s conditions.

“Are you kidding me? I can’t meet any of these conditions! What makes you think you can be so strict

with me?”

Gwendolyn responded nonchalantly, “It’s fine if you can’t do it. Just forget I said anything.”

She then got up to leave.

“Wait!” Frida stopped her in her tracks and looked at Sheralyn to persuade the latter earnestly.

“Sheralyn, it’s all for the sake of you and the Wright family. Now that your brother is gone, our family

line ends here. The best solution is to get a live-in son-in-law. Besides, I also think that you’re too

spoiled and arrogant. You should really learn some manners.”

Gwendolyn’s body froze as the light in her eyes dulled.

Frida’s remark, “Now that your brother is gone, our family line ends here,” sent a pang across her

heart. Subconsciously, she rested her hand against her stomach.

Despite being married to Maverick for three years, she had only slept with him the night before the

divorce. However, she did not get pregnant from that one night.

Regardless, based on her state of mind and personality at the time, she would have gone for an

abortion without hesitation even if she had conceived. xo.com fast update

Noticing Gwendolyn’s expression, Frida realized that she had said something she should not have. “I’m

sorry. I was too occupied in lecturing Sheralyn and forgot that you’re still here.”

“It’s okay. Carry on.” Gwendolyn recomposed herself and sat back down on the couch.

Frida stared at her apologetically for a while before turning back to Sheralyn.

“Sheralyn, thanks to Gwendolyn, we’re still allowed to live in the Wright residence. If you reject her,

she’ll drive us out. Being penniless, we can only sleep under the bridge. Do you want that to happen?”

Sheralyn was so horrified that her face went pale. “No! I don’t want to sleep under the bridge!”

If she were kicked out, she would no longer be able to hold her head up high in front of her socialite

friends. But things would be different if she agreed to Gwendolyn’s conditions. She would still have a

chance to continue living the good life she used to have.

She hesitated for a while before announcing, “Okay, I agree to your conditions.”

Gwendolyn shook her head. “No. You’ll obey unconditionally.”

“I’ll obey unconditionally. Happy?”

Gwendolyn nodded in satisfaction. After introducing Sheralyn to the etiquette coach, she said, “I have

two more gifts for you.”

William and Quinton, who were attentive and observant, took a few steps forward with their backs

straight to each bring a box to Sheralyn.

Puzzlement was written all over Sheralyn’s face.

Standing up, Gwendolyn opened the first box. “This is a handbook on etiquette in conversation. I will

give you a week to memorize the entire book, and you must make sure this doesn’t affect the coach’s

lessons. I will test what you’ve learned after that.”

Sheralyn looked at the book that was as thick as her little finger, and her eyes widened in shock.

“You want me to memorize such a thick book in seven days? Are you a demon?”

Ignoring her, Gwendolyn proceeded to open the second box.

Inside it sat a high-quality red sandalwood ruler that was hard in texture and had a nice color.

“If you can’t memorize the book, this will help you remember. I actually don’t like getting physical when

it comes to education, but you’re too unruly. I’m afraid you won’t be obedient if I don’t line up a harsh

punishment. Thus, this ruler will help correct you of any mistakes you make from now on.”
