The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

At first, Charles only thought of her as an innocent and slightly foolish woman whom he could discuss marriage with.

Never did he expect her to be so tough in such situations. Evidently, he had underestimated her.

With a grim expression, Charles turned to leave the surveillance room, only to have Jessamyn stand up and get in his way again.

“Why do you care so much about her when you don’t even like her? This is her decision. You should respect it.”

“Get lost.”

Jessamyn was stunned. Although Charles had been indifferent to her for the past few days, he had never snapped at her. Is he actually mad?

While she was thinking about that, Charles suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

His grip was so tight that Jessamyn’s face flushed red. No matter how hard she tried to remove his hand, her strength was no match for the man.

“D-Do you really have the guts to k-kill me?”

Considering Jessamyn’s status as the daughter of the Cloud family and the fact that they were in the surveillance room of Seduction Bar, with the employees as witnesses, she was confident that Charles wouldn’t dare to cause her any harm.

She was correct in her assumption that Charles wouldn’t harm her in public. However, little did she know that it wouldn’t stop him from tightly gripping her neck.

With a gaze filled with fury, Charles leaned close to her, his breath brushing against her ear as he spoke in a low and menacing tone. “Don’t test me. There is a limit to my patience. In the past, I’ve been called a lunatic, a monster, and worse. When I lose control, I don’t behave like a normal human. If you truly wish to witness that side of me, I’ll gladly grant your request,” he warned.

Those simple sentences were infused with hostility, and the viciousness in his eyes made one wonder if he actually meant what the said. Anyone who met his gaze would surely tremble with fear.

As Charles loosened his grip around her neck, Jessamyn slumped to the ground with fear as if she was drained of her strength. It took her a long time to regain her composure.

This man’s so scary…

In the footage, Whitney could be seen swinging the broken wine bottle, making a few cuts on a few men who were trying to get near her. The situation was getting out of control.

Without wasting another second, Charles swung the door open and left to the private room based on the number displayed on the screen.

Meanwhile, Whitney’s voice could be heard from VIP Room 0555.

“G-Get lost! Don’t come near me! I’ll kill you!”

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face, which was stained with blood had a look of determination.

She had underestimated the audacity of the drunken men.
