The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 582 The Last Person Grandpa Saw

Cedrick could take charge of the situation of the Jenson family now that he had returned. Coupled with the fact that Valentino’s condition was relatively stable, it wouldn’t delay Kieran and Inez’s time together as an engaged couple.

After having a conversation with Kieran, Gwendolyn chose a car from the garage at the Harris residence and drove back to Harrick Villa.

Upon her arrival, she didn’t get out of the car immediately. Instead, she took out a DNA test report and used her phone to capture the result in the bottom right corner.

She then sent the photo to the number given to her by Asher.

Along with the photo was a message that read: Your girlfriend is someone from the Harris family. Hand her over to me, and you can return to Ospea at any time. Otherwise, I’ll make sure to spend all my resources in dealing with you. She figured that with Paul being a noble from Ospea, the consequences would be dire if it were found out that his girlfriend’s identity was fake.

Although the threat was not explicitly stated, with Paul’s noble status at stake, even if he truly loved Annic, the other nobles in Ospea would never allow him to be reckless.

I doubt the count would allow his reputation to be tainted. After all, he has too many things to consider, making his vulnerabilities easy to exploit.

After sending the message, Gwendolyn waited for a while, and within ten minutes, she received a call from an unknown number.

The number was none other than the one Asher had sent her–Paul’s phone number.

When the call was connected, there was silence on the other end, accompanied by the audible sound of a person breathing heavily.

Gwendolyn’s lips curled into a smirk. “Mr. Hall, I’m not someone who likes to beat around the bush. Just get straight to the point.”

Paul let out a sigh and spoke in a deep voice. “Ms. Harris, I didn’t know that Annie is a member of the Harris family, and neither did she. When I met her, she was injured and had lost her memory. Even though she’s an illegitimate child, she is still your half–sister. Can’t you just leave her alone?”

Gwendolyn found his words amusing. “Why” Now that her identity is about to be exposed, she’s playing the amnesia card with me? Does she think I’m a fool?”

“It’s the truth, Ms. Harris. If you don’t believe me, you can take her for a psychiatric evaluation,” Paul suggested.

“That won’t be necessary. She’s a renowned actress, and her acting skills have won her numerous. accolades. Just like how we can never wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep, I doubt even a psychiatrist could see through her act.”
