The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 533 I Shall Do The Same

As they had covered up the news of the accident and the ambush, nobody else knew about it.

Annie’s question sounded as though she was genuinely concerned about Gwendolyn’s well-being.

Gwendolyn was so tired that she decided to ignore Annie by keeping her eyes closed and pretending to be asleep.

“It’s nothing major. She’ll get discharged in two days,” Cedrick replied coldly, then fiddled with his wristwatch. “Fate sure loves bringing us together, Paul. We’ve only been in Astoria for a few days, but we’ve run into you so many times now.”

We ran into him at the museum, on the streets, and even when Gwendolyn is secretly staying at the hospital. Are those encounters really just coincidences, or is there more to it?

“Yeah, it sure does. Well, Ms. Harris and Annie are women, and women love shopping, so it makes sense that we would run into each other often. As for this encounter, I just happened to bring Annie here for a checkup.” Paul said with a chuckle. He then shifted his gaze toward Gwendolyn. “Ms. Harris’ condition seems rather serious. I wonder if it’s due to her overworking lately. If that’s the case, how about you hand me Dovil Group’s collaboration contract so I can help relieve some of her burdens?”

Cedrick shot him an icy-cold glance. “I don’t need an outsider worrying about my wife.”

The look on Paul’s face changed slightly as he replied, “Yes, you’re right. I shouldn’t have said that. However, I would like to talk to Ms. Harris about the collaboration contract now that I’m here. Ms. Harris, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider it?”

Gwendolyn opened her eyes and tried to sit upright in bed.

Cedrick quickly stepped forward and helped support her back with a pillow.

“There’s nothing wrong with you wanting the collaboration contract, Mr. Hall.”

Paul’s eyes lit up when he heard that.

Gwendolyn then let out a snort as she continued, “However, you will have to take it from me through legitimate means. If you resort to underhanded methods, then I shall respond in kind.”

Paul’s tense expression and slightly twitching lips made it obvious that he was displeased.
