The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

An hour later, all trending topics related to Joaquin had been scrubbed from the internet.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a penalty notice. It cleared Joaquin’s name, explaining he was drunk when someone took pictures of him for money.

His fans were relieved upon seeing the notice and commented online.

One of them wrote: I told you all there’s no way he’d do such a thing! Those people are just jealous of his popularity!

Another chimed in: I’m grateful that Joaquin’s name is cleared. Those keyboard warriors who slandered him should apologize to him!

During the car ride back to Harrick Villa, Gwendolyn browsed the new trending topics on her phone. She was satisfied with how the incident concluded.

The next day, just as she arrived at Angle, she thought about Patrick and called him.

With the excuse of being Angle’s manager, she told the old man that Joaquin’s schedule was full, so he couldn’t return to Fairlake for the time being.

Since Fairlake was a long distance away and Patrick couldn’t possibly give Joaquin a beating, the former had no choice but to give up.

After handling that tricky issue, she reclined in her office chair and sighed in relief.

However, she only relaxed for two seconds before growing tense again.
