The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 203 Play Dead

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows. “What’s wrong with him?”

“Mr. Wright… is gone.”

Gwendolyn froze on the spot.

He’s gone? How can the person who talked and told stories to me through the night be gone after I wake up?

Gwendolyn found it hard to believe. “What do you mean by gone? What sort of a ruse is he pulling?”

Elven’s voice was choked with sobs.

“Justin said that Mr. Wright found out about the man in black intending to kill you at night in advance. Mr. Wright told Justin to keep it a secret and went alone to help eliminate those people for you, but he… didn’t return.”

Gwendolyn staggered a step back, and her expression turned from shock to a sneer. “That’s impossible! I don’t believe it. How could that sc*m die so easily?”

Elven did not speak. Seeing that Gwendolyn was still suspicious, he could not hold back his tears.

Gwendolyn scolded, “Why are you crying? How can a grown man like you cry like this? I’ll deduct half a year’s wages if you keep crying.”

Elven sobbed even harder after hearing this. “Boohoo… Mr. Wright was such a good person. He’s gone at such a young age. Yet, you still want to deduct my salary! I feel so miserable, and these tears just won’t stop!”

Gwendolyn’s eyes reddened from seeing his one point eight meters tall figure’s shoulders miserably quivering from his sobs.

Gwendolyn took a deep breath and stated calmly, “You can’t be sure since he just hasn’t come back. Send people to find him, no matter whether he’s dead or alive!

“Ms. Shalders, Ms. Shalders!” William hastily ran to her room. “Nico called and said he hopes you’ll finish dealing with your things and return as soon as possible. He said that Mr. Wright is waiting for you at Bay Villa.”

“Is Mr. Wright alive? Did he go back? Was he hurt last night?” Elven sniffled, and he was pleasantly surprised.

Gwendolyn did not say anything. She looked at William, waiting for his response.

William shook his head. “I don’t know. Nico only said this much. Mr. Wright should have returned safely since he’s waiting for Ms. Shalders at Bay Villa.”

Gwendolyn and Elven breathed a sigh of relief.
