Spoiled my CEO husband after Rebirth

"She was the one who arranged it."

Olivier said with a smile.

Gwenda gritted her teeth and snarled. "You're lying! Granny knew about me long ago, so there's no way that she would still arrange blind dates for you. Besides, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I've fallen into a trap! You're definitely the one who instructed Otto to call me!"

Olivier's smile grew bigger but he refused to admit it. His attitude was once of sincerity as he said, "No, grandma did arrange for the blind date banquet. She thought that I was not pulling myself together since I've been wooing you for two months without results. So, she arranged for it in a fit of anger."

"Really?"

Gwenda's tone suddenly lost its heat.

"Of course!"

A look of hurt crossed Olivier's face as he said in an aggrieved tone, "Why do you always think of me in a bad light?"

Gwenda turned away and mumbled guiltily, "Because of you, you stupid jerk."

"Yeah, it's all my fault."

Olivier chuckled with affection as he gently patted her head.

Gwenda's heart began to race in the face of his intimate behaviour, a blush beginning to form on her face.

Fortunately, the traffic light turned green and Olivier pulled his hand back and began driving.

The car fell silent once more.

Gwenda turned to look at the bright lights outside the window, a smile unconsciously spreading across her face.

Not long after, Olivier's car stopped at Gwenda's apartment building.

Before she could leave, Olivier suddenly asked, "Did you offend someone recently?"

"What do you mean?"

Gwenda asked in confusion.

Olivier was frank. "Someone's digging up information about you."

"Me?"

Gwenda was stunned. Then, she seemed to have thought of something as her face darkened.

"But don't worry, I've already taken care of it. I'm sure whoever it was won't be able to get anything on you."

Olivier comforted her.

Although the worry in Gwenda's heart did not let up, her face softened a little as she said to Olivier, "I see, thanks."

"I don't like hollow words. Why don't you give me something practical?"

Olivier grinned and suddenly unfastened his seat belt, leaning over to her.

Gwenda was so startled that she hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt. "I'm going up now. Bye!"

She fled frantically after opening the car door.

Olivier was stunned for a moment before he laughed.

Was he that scary?

When she reached her apartment, Gwenda immediately got someone to investigate this matter.

As she expected, it was Pauline.

Gwenda did not want to play a game of cat-and-mouse with her. So, when she got the confirmation that it was Pauline, she called her.

Pauline did not expect Gwenda to reach out to her. As she was about to launch into some fake pleasantries, Gwenda said coldly, "I know that you're digging up information on me. I'm warning you, don't play anymore tricks with me. Otherwise, I will make you regret everything that you've done!"

Before Pauline could react to that, Gwenda hung up.

The smile on Pauline's face vanished in an instant as the disconnect tone rang out from the phone. Her hand tightened around the phone as she swiftly dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, she snarled, "What a good-for-nothing you are! You cannot take care of even such a trivial matter! Now she knows!"

Kyle Barnes, Pauline's younger brother, was confused. After all, he was getting yelled at the moment he picked up the phone. So, he asked, "What happened? Why are you so mad?"

Pauline held her forehead and took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down. She hissed through gritted teeth. "Gwenda knows that I'm the one digging up information on her! How the f*ck did you do your job? Why did she find out about it?"

"She knows?"

Kyle was stunned for a moment before he complained. "Pauline, it's not that I wasn't careful. She's too cunning. I've sent people to investigate her for quite a few days but we found nothing. Forget even trying to figure out who's helping her from the dark."

"You've been investigating for so long, but found nothing?"

Pauline frowned.

"That's my point! I don't even know who she threw herself at to be able to hide so well!"

Once he was done grumbling, Kyle then asked, "Are we still continuing the investigation?"

"Are you crazy? We've already been found out, how are we going to continue?"

Pauline replied irritably.

Kyle laughed awkwardly and said, "So, we're just gonna give up?"

"It's better that we don't do anything rash before we've ascertained the true extent of Gwenda's power."

Pauline rubbed her throbbing temples and said, "Let's put this on hold for the time being."

With that, she hung up the phone irritably, a feral glint crossing her eyes for a brief moment.

"It seems that I will have to keep an eye on Gwenda from now on.

I can't let her ruin my plans and destroy all my years of hard work." Pauline thought grimly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
