The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 491 New Interrogation

The Newton residence was the only one still buzzing with activity deep into the night.

While she wasn’t sure of the details, she did receive a general summary of the situation from Gwendolyn. Hence, she more or less guessed why Charles tried to steal Karl’s keys.

Charles was in so much pain that he couldn’t move from his bed. Weakly narrowing his eyes, he turned his sight toward the white curtain with pursed lips.
