The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Elven, Ezra, and the others were trapped amid the crowd and unable to move. They did not dare to push the people away as they were afraid that they might accidentally hurt them.

Moreover, that group of people were not ordinary people. They were significant and powerful young heirs and heiresses of prominent families.

Samantha took the opportunity to shoot Natasha a meaningful gaze.

Natasha understood her intentions. Seizing the opportunity when the bodyguards were putting their attention on the crowd, she quickly broke free from their grasp and ran away from the crowd.

The bodyguards’ expressions changed drastically. When they were about to chase after her, they were blocked by the crowd.

Quinton was furious and scolded, “Are you guys blind? Even if you disagree to let us take her away, you shouldn’t condone letting a fugitive like Natasha escape.”

Samantha laughed and replied, “There’s no need for you guys to chase after her. I’ve already informed the police. I doubt she’ll go far. Let the police handle her. We won’t need Ms. Shalders’ pet dogs to take action against her.”

Pet dogs?

Quinton and the others were gritting their teeth in anger. However, they did not retort since Gwendolyn hadn’t said anything.

Gwendolyn pursed her lips tightly, with her expression darkened.

Upon seeing her expression, Maverick softly called out, “Gwendolyn.”

She raised her eyes in response, giving him a cold gaze without any traces of warmth.

“She’s your woman. This matter…”

Before she could finish speaking, Maverick quickly interrupted as he retorted, “She’s not mine.”

Gwendolyn’s expression remained indifferent as she continued, “In any case, I’ll let Mr. Wright handle this matter personally. Once it’s resolved, you can return to the villa.”

Maverick knew she was still angry. He wanted to reach out and grab her wrist to beg for forgiveness. However, he was interrupted by the hurried arrival of Nico.

“Boss, I’m sorry, I’m late!”

Maverick’s expression darkened swiftly.

Resisting the urge to turn around and beat up Nico, he calmly instructed, “Natasha ran toward the path leading to the remote bamboo forest at the back. She’s injured and hasn’t recovered. So she can’t run far away from here. Go and chase after her.”

“Yes.”

After Nico said that, he immediately sprinted in the direction Maverick had mentioned.

Maverick took a moment to calm himself down. When he was about to reach for Gwendolyn’s wrist again, she subtly turned her body to dodge it.

Gwendolyn looked at Elven, Ezra, and the other bodyguards, who were surrounded by the crowd. “Disperse the crowd and let the charity gala continue,” she instructed.

The main performers had escaped. So, the crowd soon dismissed since there was nothing interesting to watch.

Gwendolyn only approached Samantha when most people left the scene.

Her beautiful eyes exuded a coldness that was both sharp and reckless.

When she locked eyes with Samantha, she gave her a mysterious smile and said, “Ms. Lane, considering our past grievances, my original plan was just to make the Lane family go bankrupt. If you behave yourself, I can spare your life. However, if I find out that you collude with someone and try to pull any tricks, I bet you might not be able to bear the consequences.”
