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.

Karl had asked for a doctor from the A&E department to come.

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.
