Gwendolyn Pretends To Take The Bait 外穿43%會 +15 Bonus For some reason, Evelyn’s
face emerged in Gwendolyn’s mind, for the latter seemed to know everything about Gwendolyn’s past
in Fairlake.

Faced with Gwendolyn’s silence, Eloise gloated, “What’s it going to be, Gwendolyn? Are you panicking
because you realize your harsh methods don’t work on me anymore?” In spite of the taunt, Gwendolyn
remained unfazed as a grin emerged on her face.

“I’ve always enjoyed a challenge.

Since you don’t care about the consequences, I’ll just blow the matter up.

I’m sure your parents and brother won’t be as nonchalant about it as you are.

” After glancing at her watch, Gwendolyn continued, “There are still eight minutes left.

Let’s see how much your parents really love you when your birthday banquet ends up becoming the
laughingstock of the city’s high society.

” “You… You really want to challenge me, don’t you!” Eloise’s face contorted in fury beneath her
makeup.

Both of them were subsequently locked in a stalemate, neither wanting to back down.

After all, Eloise couldn’t show weakness in front of the assistant and manager from Angle.

It wasn’t until Sherman’s voice rang out from the corridor that the impasse was interrupted.

“Eloise, Gwendolyn, what’s going on?” Wearing an indifferent expression, Gwendolyn leaned elegantly
against the door.



When Sherman shifted his gaze to Eloise, the latter kept mum.

In the end, it was the manager who came forward to explain the situation.

Upon learning of what happened, Sherman broke into a gentle smile while exuding a debonair aura.

“This is a trivial matter.

There’s no need to kick up a fuss on Eloise’s birthday.

I remember that she had extra costumes made and kept them in the storeroom.

” He subsequently instructed the housekeeper, “Go to the storeroom and get the group changed into
their new outfits.

Be quick about it.

” “Yes, Mr. Ferguson.

” Upset by the turn of events, Eloise folded her arms and rolled her eyes before turning to leave.

Nevertheless, the smile on Sherman’s face was just as warm.

Being the gentleman that he was, he apologized to the girls in the room, “I’m sorry for the Ferguson
family’s lack of hospitality.

Let me make for it by apologizing over a toast later.

” up “Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.

That’s really kind of you.



” Other than Jennifer, all the other girls nodded shyly as the goodwill they felt toward him increased
significantly.

1/4 13:27 Fri, 2 Jun Chapter 289 Gwendolyn Pretends To Take The Bait Now that Sherman had
mediated a conclusion to the matter, Gwendolyn turned and left, as she had nothing more to say.

However, Sherman quickly caught up from behind.

“I’m glad to be able to speak to you in private, Gwendolyn.

” Ignoring his words, Gwendolyn picked up her pace.

As the Ferguson residence was huge, both their footsteps echoed through the quiet corridor.

It was there that Sherman took a deep breath to steel himself before blocking her way.

+15 Bonus “Gwendolyn, I swear that this is the last time.

I just feel indignant over the fact that you rejected me outright.

At the very least, I deserve an explanation.

I admit that I’m inferior to Cedrick when it comes to power and position.

That said, my character and family background is superior to his, so why did you still choose him over
me after your divorce?” Gwendolyn had always hated the clingy type.

It didn’t help that she had explained the situation to him countless times.

Thus, she had no choice but to snuff out whatever hope he had left once and for all.

“Sherman, stop comparing yourself to Cedrick.



You don’t even come close.

Besides, I don’t love you, and neither do you me! I have no doubt in my mind that the feelings you have
for me are nothing more than a sense of stubborn familiarity, and you’re just numbing yourself with it.

Besides, even if Cedrick didn’t exist, we would never be a couple.

If you continue to pester me, I won’t be able to stay friends with you anymore.

” Her scathing words left a stunned look on Sherman’s face.

The devastation they wrought within him filled him with dejection and rendered him speechless.

Although Gwendolyn took note of his reaction, there was nothing but iciness in her eyes.

Just as she was about to leave, she could hear the sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

A male housekeeper from the banquet hall suddenly came up to her.

“Ms. Harris, Mr. Jenson was just looking for you.

He says it’s urgent, so please come with me.

” Despite his words, Gwendolyn stayed where she was as she scrutinized the housekeeper from head
to toe.

Thereafter, her lips curled into a slight smile while the amusement in her eyes intensified, If Cedrick
ever wanted to see her, he would never send a member of the Ferguson residence staff.

What does Eloise plan to do to me in the Ferguson residence? This is getting interesting Breaking into
a mischievous yet alluring smile, Gwendolyn turned around to glance at Sherman.



He was still frozen to the spot, devastated by her earlier words.

“All right, lead the way.

” The housekeeper bowed slightly before ushering Gwendolyn forward with his hand.

“This way, please.

” Holding the train of her dress elegantly, Gwendolyn walked on ahead.

All of a sudden, a threatening aura crept up on her from behind.

Gwendolyn didn’t bother reacting.

As the housekeeper softened his footsteps, his long arms suddenly reached around her neck before
covering her mouth with a drugged handkerchief.

After a momentary struggle, Gwendolyn felt her vision go dark.

43%1 +15 Bonus Meanwhile, the devastated Sherman, who had witnessed how the housekeeper was
trying to drag the unconscious Gwendolyn away, dashed forward to save her.

“What are you doing? Let go of her!” When the housekeeper ignored his cries, Sherman came forward
to wrest Gwendolyn from the former’s arMs. All of a sudden, Eloise emerged behind him and held him
back.

“Sherman, this is my doing.

Don’t get in my way.



” “Eloise, have you gone mad? If anything happens to her in the Ferguson residence, our family will be
in deep trouble! Do you know that?” Eloise replied with conviction, “I do, but it’s not like I’m going to kill
her here, so calm yourself down.

I know you like Gwendolyn a lot.

Haven’t you thought of making her yours?” The question caused Sherman to freeze as a sense of
dread crept into him.

“What are you saying?” “I had someone drug her so that she could be brought to your room.

” “How could you do something like that?” Sherman stared at her in disbelief.

I can’t believe how wicked my sister is! “You’re a girl too.

How could something like rape even cross your mind?” Eloise sneered, “What other choice is there?
This is the only way you can have her, Sherman.

Once you have slept with her, Cedrick will abandon her.

On top of that, no one else will marry her once word of it gets out.

She will then have no choice but to be with you.

” Shocked by her plan, Sherman couldn’t bear to look at the sister he had loved so dearly.

“This is ridiculous!” For the very first time, eyes that were bloodshot with rage appeared on his usually
calm and gentle face.

He then raised his hand in an attempt to slap Eloise.



Instead of trying to avoid it, Eloise thrust her chin forward to taunt him.

“Can you really bear to lay a finger on me, your own sister? I’m doing this all for you, and this is how
you repay me? In that case, go ahead and hit me!” Intimidated by Eloise’s defiance, Sherman couldn’t
bring his palm down upon her.

All he could do was stand idly by and watch the male housekeeper carry the unconscious Gwendolyn
upstairs.

Eloise subsequently placed a hand on his shoulder and softened her tone.

“I know that you’re a kind- 3/4 13:27 Fri, 2 Jun Chapter 289 Gwendolyn Pretends To Take The Bait +15
Bonus hearted person, Sherman.

You won’t be able to do anything morally wrong while you still have your wits with you.

That’s why I have a plan to help you.

” While speaking, she picked up a glass of champagne from the tray of a passing housekeeper.

She then brazenly dropped a white pill into the drink right in front of Sherman.

Upon giving the glass a shake, the pill gradually dissolved into the drink.

Thereafter, she handed the glass to Sherman as she continued persuading him.

“Trust me, Sherman.

I’m doing this for your own good.

This is your final opportunity.



As long as you take this step forward, Gwendolyn will be yours! She has not just looked down upon you
but also the Ferguson family.

Even though you have loved her for more than ten years, she doesn’t care about you at all.

Can you really accept that? Why don’t you just give it a try?” As Sherman stared at the champagne
glass in her hand, his heart began to waver.
