The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Jealousy

Gwendolyn stretched her gorgeous neck while gazing at Sheralyn. “Why don’t you ask her?”

With her face reddened due to the coughing, Sheralyn could only point at Gwendolyn angrily without being able to utter a single word.

Upon seeing that, Natasha looked at Gwendolyn in disappointment and uttered in a heartbroken tone, “Gwendolyn, no matter what, Sheralyn is considered half a sister to you. Although what she said at the entrance of the hotel wasn’t pleasant to hear, she had already apologized to you. How could you be so vengeful? She’s just a girl. You were so kind back then, Gwendolyn. How did you change so much?”

Those words implied that Gwendolyn was merely taking revenge.

Hearing that, Sheralyn nodded fervently while coughing and sobbing at the same time, looking extremely aggrieved.

Right then, the crowd started whispering among themselves. Since the victim was the daughter of the Wright family, everyone was inclined to side with Sheralyn and oppose Gwendolyn.

Instead of saying anything, Maverick simply gazed at Gwendolyn intently the entire time.

As a result, Gwendolyn was feeling uncomfortable, so she snorted. “No one knows your sister’s personality better than you do. Do you really think I was taking my revenge on her?”

In response, he pursed his lips and kept mum. At the same time, there was an indecipherable look in his eyes.

Gwendolyn then smiled mockingly and realized how absurd her words sounded. All these years, Maverick has never believed my words once. Why should I care if he believes me now? Explaining

myself to him is just a waste of time.

Holding that thought, Gwendolyn wanted to turn around and leave. However, a few socialites, who were Sheralyn’s friends, stepped forward and stopped Gwendolyn.

“Hold it! Who says you’re allowed to leave? You’ve just assaulted someone!”

“Exactly. You ought to explain yourself to Sheralyn before leaving.”

Gwendolyn scoffed and was about to defend herself. Right then, she saw Treyton pushing his way through the crowd and walking up to her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When those socialites saw Treyton, their eyes lit up, and they wanted to make things worse for Gwendolyn.

“Mr. Harris, are you seeing this? This woman is vicious and disgusting!”

“That’s right, Mr. Harris. You must seek justice for Sheralyn. Furthermore, a woman like her doesn’t even deserve you.”

Treyton was expressionless when he loosened his tie and took off his jacket.

loving manner.

“It’s late. Don’t catch a cold,” Treyton said.

Not only was the crowd stunned by what they saw, but they also stopped bad–mouthing Gwendolyn.

Immediately, the socialites were overwhelmed by envy, and all they could think about was tearing Gwendolyn to shreds.

Treyton then acted as if no one else was around and put his arm over Gwendolyn’s shoulders. “It’s getting late. Let’s head home.”

Gwendolyn nodded in response.

The moment the two of them turned around, Natasha grumbled, “Mr. Harris, the truth is that she was bullying Sheralyn. Are you seriously still backing her up?”

Treyton turned on his heel and met Maverick’s gaze. “Our Kiddo never starts a fuss. If others didn’t mess with her, she would never bother others. If you aren’t convinced, Mr. Wright, perhaps you should check the hotel’s surveillance cameras. We’re also willing to get the police involved to get to the bottom

of this.”

The way he addressed her sounded affectionate and intimate.

Hence, Maverick was stumped when he heard that. They seem close. Could it be that they had already known each other before the divorce?

While clenching his fists, Maverick stared at Gwendolyn, who was in Treyton’s arms, and asked sternly, “Did you wrong me?”

His words shocked the crowd at the scene. Why did Mr. Wright sound a bit jealous?

Hearing that, Gwendolyn found those words amusing. She turned to look at Maverick and answered, “Throughout those three years of marriage, I’ve never wronged you. Perhaps I should be the one asking you that question.”

With that, Gwendolyn shot Natasha a mocking glance before leaving The East alongside Treyton.

The crowd went into an uproar as soon as they heard that.
