The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 164 She Gives Names Casually

“All right, let’s go.”

She was about to leave with Elisha when Charles called out to her, “Gwen, do you want me to come with you?”

Without hesitation, Gwendolyn said, “It’s okay. You must have your own business to attend to in Fairlake. Please excuse me first.”

She had just taken two steps when she remembered that she was still wearing Charles’ coat. So, she took it off, folded it, and walked back to return it to him.

Charles didn’t take the coat and instead gazed at her with warmth and tenderness. “It’s getting colder. You should keep it.”

Gwendolyn handed the coat to the subordinate behind him. The subordinate glanced at Charles, shook his head in fear, and dared not take it.

Annoyed, she ended up hanging the coat on the flower stand by the entrance of the restaurant before striding off after Elisha without so much as a glance over her shoulder.

Charles looked in the direction where she disappeared before glancing at the coat she left on the flower stand. He furrowed his brows as a dark look swirled in his eyes.

Seemingly reminded of something, Charles turned to his subordinate while wearing a grim expression. “Send two people to keep an eye on that Maverick. Report any movements immediately, and make sure to stay hidden. His subordinate isn’t easy to deal with, too. Also, look into his identity and background.”

“Understood, Mr. Newton.”

Charles’ subordinate helped him take the coat off the flower stand and wanted to put it on him.

Glaring viciously at his subordinate, Charles growled, “How dare you touch something that’s filthy? Throw it away!”

Gwendolyn hurried to Treyton’s residence. The patient was accommodated in the private medical room that was previously used to treat Natasha.

Upon entering the room, she saw the injured person lying in bed, receiving an IV drip.

Upon seeing Gwendolyn enter the room, he slowly sat up.

Gwendolyn sat down on a chair two meters away from him, smiling. “I never expected you to be the one to survive out of forty people. That day, you were the only one who answered my question. You have the softest heart, and you’re also the luckiest. What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?”

The person pondered for a moment, then looked at her sincerely, “I originally thought that if I kept quiet, the organization would let me off the hook. I didn’t expect them to be even more ruthless than I imagined. I know that you were the one who sent people to save me these past few times. I am willing to reveal all the information I know.”

“Oh?” Gwendolyn exclaimed in surprise. He’s figured it out already?

She asked, “How much money do you want as a reward?”
