The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Filled with rage, Joaquin stomped toward Pablo and punched the latter with all his might.

Groaning in pain, Pablo collapsed to the ground.

“You little sh*t! I treated you well! Two years ago, when that brat from the Jameson family kissed your ex-girlfriend, I was the one who helped you take revenge! I was beaten by my grandfather after that incident and got so badly injured that I was practically bedridden for three whole days, yet I never blamed you! How dare you try to destroy my career and life! What did I do to you to deserve that?”

Growing increasingly incensed, Joaquin lifted Pablo by the collar and punched the latter twice.

The corner of Pablo’s lips soon bled as his face swelled.

Cedrick and Gwendolyn stood aside and watched wordlessly.

It wasn’t until Pablo was on the verge of passing out that Cedrick shouted, “That’s enough! Nico, pull Mr. Zipper away.”

Without delay, Nico stepped forward and dragged Joaquin back by force.

Joaquin was still infuriated, so he viciously kicked Pablo’s waist two more times.

Moaning in pain, Pablo winced and breathed laboriously.

Probably because he felt guilty, he didn’t say a word nor retaliate despite being beaten up badly.

Gwendolyn wordlessly observed him and the look on his face for a moment. “I can tell you feel guilty about what you did to Joaquin, Pablo. I think you’re not the mastermind behind this incident. Someone directed you to do this. Am I right?”
