After saying his piece in front of Gwendolyn, Dexter let out a deep sigh, put his hands behind his back. and walked out of the CEO’s office angrily without looking back.

As soon as he left Wright Construction Group, his worried expression transformed into laughter of joy.

Meanwhile, in the office, Gwendolyn turned on her heel and made her way over to Maverick. She saw the swell around the corner of his mouth and à clear thumbprint on the left side of his face.

How dare Dexter beat up such an adorable face?

I’m going to get rid of that old fox sooner or later!

“Does it hurt?” Gwendolyn asked as she pinched his chin, examining his wound.

Without showing any sign of pain or anger, Maverick kept quiet with a serene expression on his face as if he was not the one who had been slapped.

Gwendolyn’s anger grew as she saw Maverick’s indifferent expression, so she viciously pinched the soft flesh on his left check.

Maverick scowled, grimacing in pain and attempting to dodge her grasp.

Finally, he is showing some kind of emotion. I thought he was immune to pain. Gwendolyn mused inwardly.

“So

you do feel pain. Why didn’t you dodge when Dexter hit you earlier, then? Don’t tell me you were too slow to react!” Gwendolyn questioned with a disapproving tone.

Gwendolyn wondered how many slaps Maverick could have handled before falling had she not come to his defense.

Maverick pursed his lips and retorted, “Where were you on the day Grandpa died?”

As Gwendolyn locked gazes with him, she marveled at how dark his eyes were.

Does he believe Dexter’s words and suspect that I killed Declan?

“I was with Old Mr. Wright. I was the last person he saw before he died.” Gwendolyn answered truthfully.

“What did he say to you?” Maverick continued asking.

Gwendolyn remained silent for a moment.

Before he passed away. Declan asked her to help maintain the Wright Construction Group. He also told Gwendolyn that Maverick had a proud temperament, but was also a loyal man deep down. If Maverick discovered Gwendolyn’s good qualities and fell in love with her, he would be willing to give her everything. He made Gwendolyn promise to take care of Maverick and never divorce him.

However, she had failed to keep that promise. After trying to warm Maverick’s stone-cold heart for three years, she no longer cared. Therefore, protecting Wright Construction Group was the only thing she could do to honor her promise to Declan.
