The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 238 Gwendolyn And Cedrick Play Victim

Gwendolyn’s face lost all color when she heard her brother’s angry roar.

Oh no! I should’ve been more disciplined. This is getting out of control!

Nevertheless, Cedrick continued to maintain a defiant stance with his eyes showing no fear at all. In fact, he looked as if he would do it all over again even if given a second chance.

Asher perceived Cedrick’s demeanor as provocation.

Overwhelmed by rage, Asher prepared to pull the trigger.

“No, no! You’re making a mistake, Asher! It’s me. I’m the one who came onto him!” Gwendolyn mumbled as her toes clenched in embarrassment.

When forced to choose between sacrificing Cedrick’s life versus her legs, it made more sense to go with the latter.

Asher was baffled.

“If you don’t believe me, you can check his neck. It was I… who couldn’t hold myself back.”

Gwendolyn’s voice grew increasingly faint toward the end of her sentence. Covering her cheeks in embarrassment, she could feel a burning sensation spread from her cheeks to her neck.

Filled with skepticism, Asher gradually approached Cedrick with the gun still in his hand.

In the meantime, Cedrick remained motionless as he allowed Asher to unravel his woolen scarf.

Finally, Asher was stunned by the sight of the other man’s hickey-covered neck.

This is f*cking outrageous…

As the air seemed to be frozen still, a strange atmosphere surrounded them.

With her face buried in her hands, Gwendolyn wished for the ground to open up and swallow her whole.

D*mn it. This is just great. Now everyone knows how daring I was at the hospital! Argh, this is so embarrassing!

Just as she was screaming inwardly, she suddenly felt someone twist her right ear forcefully.

It was so painful that her already reddened ear took on a deeper hue.

“Ouch! It hurts! We’re in public right now, Asher! Can’t you save me some face?” she exclaimed. Cedrick and Nico are watching!
