The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

The prison guard took in Yael’s nervous look and snorted, guessing that the latter had to have made the wrong assumption.

“Don’t worry. You’re not dying any time soon. Some important man wants to meet you.”

In the middle of the night?

Yael was tense. Who visits a prisoner in the middle of the night? Who could it be?

As he mulled over that anxiously, the grogginess he felt earlier dissipated.

The sound of two men’s footsteps echoed in the corridor. The prison guard took out his key and unlocked the door to the secret visiting room.

The steel door creaked open, and Yael entered, his wrists and ankles still cuffed.

There was a large square table in the visiting room with two men sitting across from it.

Yael fixed his eyes on one of the men. The latter had dark eyes and was looking at him expressionlessly, exuding a domineering aura.

His face was one that Yael was extremely familiar with. He was the man he desperately wished to kill—Cedrick Jenson.

Alas, he had lost. He would not have the chance to fulfill his wish.

What surprised him most was that Cedrick had brought Charles along this time.

The Newton family was the Harris family’s business rival. Yet, it seemed that Cedrick was not planning to shy away from discussing family matters around Charles.

Yael was confused, but he still took a seat with a dark look.
