The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 200 Is She Telling The Truth

Upon noticing Maverick’s puzzled expression and the faint hint of surprise in his eyes, Gwendolyn explained, “Didn’t you say that ordinary ointment is useless for injuries caused by the S40 strong corrosive potion? Yesterday morning, I instructed someone to buy this specific ointment. Use it. The wound on your back should heal faster.”

The man lowered his head and studied the box of ointment in his hand.

Although she did not tell him, he was certain that this ointment could only be acquired from the war laboratory. He figured that she must have contacted Asher to obtain it.

The medicine was indeed quite effective. However, he had the S404 RNA virus in his body, so this ointment would not be of any help to his wound.

“Thank you. This is the first gift you’ve given me since our divorce.”

With red-rimmed eyes, Maverick rubbed the box of ointment gently with his thumb. Even the wound on his body did not feel that painful anymore.

“It’s not exactly a gift. You got hurt because of me this time, so this is my way of making amends. Besides…”

Gwendolyn paused, and her lips curled into a sinister smile before she continued, “The real post-divorce gifts are the Wright family’s bankruptcy, your employment agreement, and that 023 special drug.”

For a moment, Maverick was stunned.

All of a sudden, the situation did not seem so touching anymore.

Gwendolyn was delighted to see his frozen expression. She beamed with delight as she picked up Charles’ testimony, which was lying on the desk.

She read every single word and sentence carefully. Soon, her smile disappeared from her face, and she began to tense up.

“Charles said that he was instructed by Hector to do those things at the bar and splash that bottle of potion?”

Hector Harris was her fourth paternal uncle and an idler who lacked ambition in the Harris family.

Previously, Gwendolyn had considered the possibility that Gideon Harris, her third uncle, could be the one trying to harm her. It was beyond her expectation that Hector could be behind all of this.

Maverick nodded. “Although Charles might not have told us everything, the fact that he could describe the details of their communication means he’s probably telling the truth. Hector’s son works at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Charles fears him. It makes sense that Charles would listen to Hector and sneak into the lab to steal the drugs.”

She sat down on the small couch next to her and remained silent for a long time. Gradually, her expression turned into one of rage.

“I can’t let Hector Harris off the hook! Tomorrow, I’ll head to Salinsburgh discreetly to have my revenge!”
