The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 409

Nico came to a sudden halt, and his eyes lifted to meet Cedrick’s piercing gaze from the other side. His face paled slightly, startled by the intimidating look.

Compelled by a wave of trepidation, he swung the branch once more, this time with even greater force.

Evelyn convulsed in agony, her body trembling at the brink of collapse.

Her doe-like eyes brimmed with tears as she cast a helpless gaze toward Kieran and Treyton, who were seated on the nearby couch.

Treyton couldn’t bear to see her covered in blood as the brutal strikes echoed in his ears. Hence, he turned away, choosing to ignore the scene.

As Evelyn witnessed the apathy of her two brothers, a chill settled in her heart. A sardonic smile crept onto her pale lips, a bitter reflection of the irony that enveloped the situation.

She would groan in pain occasionally, but she never begged for mercy.

He took a moment to catch his breath, feeling exhausted from the exertion. He turned to look at Gwendolyn and Cedrick and said, “We’re done with the fifty lashes.”

“Great.” Gwendolyn’s voice remained icy, devoid of any inflection.
