The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Matthew’s expression darkened as he could tell he was being looked down upon.

“Who do you think you are? You don’t have a say in anything I do in the police station. Take her away!” He made a gesture, and all the police officers in the room swarmed over, seemingly determined to take Gwendolyn away immediately.

Maverick was furious.

A wicked yet deep male voice suddenly sounded from outside the door just as he was about to speak, stopping him before he even had a chance to start. “Mr. Scott, you’re speaking with such authority!”

Matthew and all the police officers shuddered at the sound of that. The former sprang to his feet and his body stiffened instantly.

Gwendolyn’s face darkened in mere seconds.

I was so close. Whoever this is, arrived on time.

Maverick silently sat back down after regaining his composure.

He knew who it was as soon as he heard that voice, and his handcuffed fists clenched even tighter subconsciously.

Gwendolyn had a thing for people with good looks. She employed the most handsome ones, even when it came to her bodyguards.

Maverick remembered that this man was exceptionally good-looking.

Will Gwendolyn…

His obsidian-like eyes darkened as he instinctively turned his head to look at Gwendolyn.

It turned out that Gwendolyn was not paying attention to his appearance. She appeared to be somewhat unhappy and had a slightly upset expression on her face as though something else was bothering her.

The door opened, and the man who entered was dressed in a solemn military uniform underneath a dark green and black fur military coat.

The man was burly and standing straight. He had delicate features and a sharp nose. With his slightly narrowed eyes, he exuded an intimidating aura.

His deep blue, gem-like pupils, which complemented his eyes, were his most stunning features and added a touch of charm to his looks. He appeared both righteous and wicked in his military uniform, making him even more attractive than a woman.

All the policemen, including Matthew, respectfully bowed their heads and greeted him with reverence as soon as he entered, “Greetings, Mr. Newton.”
