The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 574 Disfigure

More than ten minutes later, the black vans stopped at an old, abandoned factory on the outskirts.

A bodyguard carried Gwendolyn to a tattered, dusty room in the factory and laid her on the dirty ground.

Just as the bodyguard was about to leave, he caught a peculiar sight at the corner of his eye. He noticed Gwendolyn’s head lying on the dirt move a little.

Hence, he turned his head back and scrutinized her but spotted nothing suspicious. Hmm, I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me.

He then left the room, locked the door, and stationed four bodyguards at the entrance.

Concurrently, Annie was speaking with Paul in front of the old factory.

With a grim expression, Paul admonished her in a faint voice because he didn’t have the heart to berate her too harshly. “Why did you insist on kidnapping her? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of killing her. You’re aware she’s the richest woman in Chanaea, right? Her status is extraordinary. Not to mention her husband is Cedrick Jenson, and we’re still in Chanaea territory. If anything happens, I’ll be able to flee unscathed, but I may not be able to protect you.”

In reality, he opposed the plan to kidnap Gwendolyn. However, he couldn’t say much over the phone to stop his girlfriend, so he had no choice but to go along with her plan first.

Though he was reprimanding her, his tone was gentle.

However, Annie acted as though she was frightened by his reproach and began tearing up, looking piteous and aggrieved.

“Oh, Honey. Why are you crying? I didn’t mean to scold you. I’m just worried about your safety,” comforted Paul.

Her tear–filled eyes immediately threw him off balance and made him lose composure.

Without delay, he pulled his girlfriend into his embrace and consoled her tenderly.
