The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Gwendolyn glanced downward silently, her expression cold.

The plaintiff’s lawyer raised his hand and continued, “The defendant is not refuting precisely because she’s guilty. It is true that she shot Mr. Vidar Lund that day. Your Honor, we suggest that she be detained…”

While he was making a reasoned and well-founded accusation against Gwendolyn, the legal assistant beside him, who was recording the notes on a laptop, suddenly received an email.

The assistant opened the email. After she read the first two lines, her eyes widened in shock. She quickly turned the laptop to Kylie.

Kylie read the email attentively. As she read the rest of the email, her eyes reddened and tears started streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. Unable to control her emotions, she broke down.

The legal assistant had no choice but to interrupt the trial. “Apologies, Your Honor. Our plaintiff is emotionally distressed. We request another recess!”

The lawyers representing the Harris family were initially prepared to reveal their trump card after the plaintiff’s lawyer had finished speaking. They wanted to use the evidence that Charles was not an adopted son, while also proving that Gwendolyn had acted in self-defense. They planned for a dramatic turnaround.

However, there was yet another unexpected recess, leaving everyone baffled.

During this recess, Kylie suddenly withdrew the lawsuit without any prior warning.

It seemed that she had admitted defeat in this battle.

Gwendolyn could not understand it. Before the second recess, she had noticed the sorrowful expression on Kylie’s face when Kylie was looking at the laptop.

What was written on it? Or did Kylie eventually decide to back down since this is, after all, a royal scandal?

Treyton hugged her shoulders and led her out of the courtroom.

Just when they reached the entrance hall of the courthouse, Kylie, Gerhardt, and the rest happened to walk out from the other side.

They came face to face with one another.

Kylie glared at Gwendolyn, unable to conceal the hatred in her eyes.

“Gwendolyn, you should thank Charlie for the fact that you can still walk out of here freely instead of being handcuffed and detained as a criminal. If it weren’t for him, I would never have let you off the hook!”

Thank Charles?

Gwendolyn was utterly confused.
