Gwendolyn failed to land her first strike, and eventually, her stamina depleted. She was no match for Maverick in terms of strength, and she was wearing heels-an inconvenient kind of footwear. Thus, she was soon forced to the wall without realizing it.

Maverick curled his lips. In the next second, he grabbed her left wrist and moved to pin it against the wall, which was something he used to do.

This time, however, Gwendolyn learned her lesson. She knew that he was going to restrain her hands. and force her up against the wall. So, while he was distracted as he tried to grab her left wrist, she pressed the secret button on her ring with her right hand. A silver needle popped out in response.

Chuckling, he then let go of her hand and took two steps back.

Once Gwendolyn regained her freedom, she gently massaged her left wrist before walking past him to grab the transfer agreement from the coffee table.

After skimming through the documents, she noted that the documents weren’t tampered with

She then picked up the pen from the side and signed the two agreements without hesitation.
