The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 451

Under the moonlight, the handsome man’s face darkened, emanating a terrifying chill.

“C-Craig…” Jennifer composed herself, gripping onto an eyebrow trimmer, preparing herself for any potential attack.

With an indifferent expression, Craig asked again, “Why aren’t you sleeping at this late hour? What are you doing on the top floor? Didn’t I tell you to follow the rules?”

“I… I couldn’t sleep. I heard some noise here, so I came up to check. I was just about to go back when you arrived.” She swallowed nervously, trying to change the topic. “What are you doing here at this hour? And you’re still in your military uniform…”

Without the slightest change in his expression, Craig responded, “I just got off work. Tomorrow is your homecoming feast, which will be held at the Newton residence. That’s why I came back to rest tonight.”

“Oh, okay. Thank you for your hard work.” She lowered her head, displaying a submissive attitude.

Craig’s expression remained deadpan, and he said icily, “Go back to your room and rest.”

“All right.” Jennifer nodded. However, the persistent sound of chains she had heard earlier compelled her to inquire further. “Craig, is Mother really staying on the top floor? I heard the sound of chains being dragged on the floor. Is that her?”

“Mother is already asleep. You must have misheard.” His face remained emotionless.

“But… I heard it clearly. I really heard the sound of chains. If only Mother is staying on the rooftop, does that mean you locked her up?”

Craig’s eyes narrowed, his gaze intense as he stared at her and maintained an ominous silence.

“Craig, I’ll soon be a part of the family, and I hope we can be more open with each other. I have the right to know the secrets of the Newton family.”

“You’re overthinking. There are no dark secrets in our family. Go back and get some sleep. Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Jennifer stood still. “I’m not sleepy. Can you please unlock the door, Craig? I would like to check on Mother.”

Craig responded without hesitation, “No. Mother is asleep now. Don’t disturb her.”

Her effort was futile. Craig remained unyielding no matter what she said.

Jennifer was speechless.
