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.

Jasmine sat next to his bed and sobbed “Why did you do that right after you returned here, Charles? Are you truly willing to toss away your life for Gwendolyn?”

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.

The pain and exhaustion were so overwhelming that Charles fell asleep shortly after.

A few hours later, he was woken up by a bodyguard. “You should wake up. Mr. Charles. Mr. Craig is inviting you to the garden.”
