The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 159

Police station? It sure didn’t take them long to come, huh?

Gwendolyn was not at all surprised. She smiled and extended her two fair, delicate hands voluntarily. “Sure, let’s go.”

Matthew had never seen a woman act so assertively and composedly when being arrested.

Her smile, in particular, was enchanting—carefree yet utterly captivating.

It was evident to him that the perpetrator was both skilled and ruthless after he viewed the gruesome photos of Samantha’s injuries.

Finding it difficult to believe that the seemingly innocent, naive girl in front of him was somehow involved in this case, he couldn’t help but proceed cautiously as he stepped forward to put the electronic handcuffs on Gwendolyn.

However, the man’s hand was suddenly grabbed by someone before the handcuffs could be put on.

Maverick was washing the dishes when he heard the commotion. The moment he came out of the villa, this scene was what greeted him.

He gave Matthew a menacing look. “These things have nothing to do with her. I did them. You can detain me instead.”

Gwendolyn had a puzzled look on her face. “You merely peeled a few oranges yesterday. What does this have to do with you? Keep your butt out of this.”

Yet, not only did Maverick not step back, but he moved forward and shielded her behind him.

His deep, dark eyes remained fixed on Matthew as he spoke righteously. “I know all the ins and outs of this case. If you want to uncover the truth, take me with you.”

Gwendolyn’s patience was wearing thin. I can take care of my own affairs. It’s none of his business.

However, the man standing before her looked back and smiled reassuringly, seemingly unaware of her thoughts. “Don’t be afraid. Go back into the house first. I’ll take care of this.”

She was rendered speechless.

Why on Earth would you think that I’m afraid?

“I’ve never been inside a police station before. This is so exciting! I just want to grab a cup of coffee there.”

Maverick and Matthew were lost for words.

Did she mistake the police station for a café? And she even finds this exciting?

Matthew looked back and forth between both of them in an effort to decipher the meaning of their words. It seems like both of them were present at the scene when the incident happened.

“Since both of you are involved in this case, we’ll all go together!” He took out another pair of handcuffs.

Gwendolyn didn’t object.
