The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 28 Torture

When Frida and Sheralyn scanned through the contents of the paper, they instantly paled. In fact, they felt so guilty that they couldn’t even muster a word.

They didn’t expect their attempt to harm Gwendolyn had become the latter’s dirt on them.

Gwendolyn shook her head scornfully upon seeing their reaction. And I thought they were going to put up more of a fight.

With a grin, she urged, “Go smash everything inside before we continue with the next step.”

In a flash, the bodyguards went in to complete their tasks.

Four bodyguards rounded up all the housekeepers inside the garden while the other six started destroying the various objects in the mansion.

Soon, sounds of devastation rang inside the entire building.

The housekeepers huddled together, unwilling to turn their attention toward the sharp, breaking noises.

The noises made Frida apprehensive too.

Sheralyn was cowering in her mother’s embrace when she abruptly recalled something and widened her eyes. “Wait! You can’t destroy the limited LC cosmetics I shipped from Moranta last month!”

Hurriedly, she leaped away from Frida’s embrace and sprinted upstairs to prevent the destruction of her precious cosmetics.

From a distance, the screams and noises of objects breaking apart sounded like an unnerving symphony when mixed together.

Frida dug her fingernails into her palm as she glared at Gwendolyn with resentment, looking as though she wanted to chop the younger woman into thousands of pieces.

For every shattering noise she heard, she felt a cut in her heart because it was the sound of money vanishing into thin air.

However, after decades of living as a rich wife, she refused to bow before Gwendolyn.

Upon stifling her agony, she glowered at Gwendolyn. “You’re a vicious b*tch! Just wait and see! One day, you’ll receive your karmic retribution! I’ll never forgive you!”
