The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Someone countered, “The Mossey family has already publicly cut ties with her a long time ago. She’s no longer Ms.

Natasha of the family!”

“But wasn’t she sentenced to prison? How could she be here?”

“How did she become so ugly now? Her skin is so wrinkled. It feels like she has aged ten years…”

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Natasha felt the gaze from the crowd, and her entire body trembled helplessly.

She glanced around at everyone, trying to find the most familiar figure among them.

“Mave! I want Mave! Where’s my Mave?”

Meanwhile, outside the crowd, Samantha’s eyes flickered, and she glanced in that direction curiously.

“Maverick, it’s so lively over there. Let’s go check it out.”

Before Maverick could respond, she walked over, made her way through the crowd, and even kindly left a spot for

Maverick.

“Hey, Maverick! Isn’t this Ms. Mossey?”

Maverick frowned tightly upon hearing the name, and his face exuded a cold aura.

His eyes darkened, and he walked over with an impenetrable expression.

Upon seeing him, Natasha’s emotions surged with excitement. She sobbed and said, “Mave! I’ve finally found you!

You have no idea how much I’ve suffered in this period of time. I’ve endured so much torment in order to see you

again…”

Her voice was a bit hoarse, and she cried out in deep sorrow.

However, her face was covered in bruises and wounds. On top of that, her bloodshot eyes made her look pitiful yet

terrifying.

As she sobbed, she excitedly moved closer to Maverick’s feet, trying to grab the leg of his suit pants.

Maverick’s expression changed slightly, and he almost took a big step backward instinctively.

Joaquin, who was enjoying red wine in the main banquet hall, faintly heard the commotion in the back of the hall.

He pulled Gwendolyn along to see what was going on.

As soon as they arrived at the back hall, they saw Natasha persistently crawling towards Maverick’s feet.

Maverick’s face looked terrible. He kept backing away as though he was trying to avoid a jinx until his back bumped

into Gwendolyn, who just walked over.

Gwendolyn quickly supported his lower back with her hand, the corner of her mouth slightly lifted, and she sneered,

“Trying to fake an accident?”

Maverick didn’t feel embarrassed. His face was slightly pale as he bent down to rub his leg.

“Gwendolyn, my knee hurts… I want to go back to the villa.”

His brows furrowed tightly, and when he turned to look at Gwendolyn, he quickly concealed the maliciousness in his

eyes, replacing it with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.

Gwendolyn didn’t bother to expose him. She casually glanced at Natasha, who was stunned by his words on the

ground.

She put on a playful smile and teased, “No way! This is your personal matter, and you should deal with it properly

yourself.”

After saying that, she forcefully pushed him toward Natasha with the hand that supported his lower back.

Then, she watched the show with her arms crossed and watched on casually.

The person I’ve been searching for so long unexpectedly appears at Gardens Hotel charity gala.

She was happy to watch the play as long as someone was willing to make the show.

Natasha, who was on the ground, looked pitiful as she reached out toward Maverick. “Mave…”

Maverick managed to balance himself in time, and as he looked down at Natasha, his dark eyes were filled with

nothing but coldness and hostility. In a low voice, he warned, “Stay right there, and don’t come any closer.”

Natasha felt hurt when she saw his cold gaze. She began to sob uncontrollably, without caring about her image.

“Mave, don’t you recognize me? I’m your Tasha, your fiancée! Because of you, I was framed and imprisoned by

that despicable Gwendolyn! Do you have any idea how much I’ve suffered?”

Maverick’s eyes became colder. “When I left Fairlake, Mother made the decision to call off the engagement. So, you

and I have nothing to do with each other now.”

If it weren’t for everyone watching, he would have wished to kick the lier beneath his feet and vent his anger on her

badly.

She pretended to be Gwendolyn and claimed she was the one who saved Declan. She even tried to put Gwendolyn

in grave danger several times, and now she was suddenly brought out by someone to intensify the animosity

between him and Gwendolyn.

D*mn it!

Joaquin, standing nearby, tutted and leaned in to whisper in Gwendolyn’s ear. “Gwendolyn, did you hear that? He is

the epitome of a bad man! When he loves someone, he loves her passionately, but when he doesn’t, he’s more

ruthless than anyone else. Thankfully, you got a divorce in time!” He was adding fuel to the fire.

Gwendolyn pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Those once bright and clear eyes now stared deeply and silently at Maverick, who was standing not far away.

“Mave! How could you do this to me? I love you so much…”

Natasha was full of hope when she was taken out of prison, but now, seeing his cold and heartless expression, her

feelings of despair and resentment were hard to suppress and almost burst out.

Maverick’s expression remained unchanged.

Under the watchful eyes of the whispering onlookers, he declared loudly, “Natasha, I’m telling you for the last time,

the one I’ve always loved and cherished is Gwendolyn. And it will always be her in the past, now, and forever. Since

you’ve been sentenced, you should stay in prison and repent your past sins!”

He took out his phone to contact Nico as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, those words had completely stirred up Natasha’s emotions.

She covered her head, screaming madly. Her voice was sharp and piercing, which was shrilled and terrifying.

After soying thot, she forcefully pushed him toword Notosho with the hond thot supported his lower bock.

Then, she wotched the show with her orms crossed ond wotched on cosuolly.

The person I’ve been seorching for so long unexpectedly oppeors ot Gordens Hotel chority golo.

She wos hoppy to wotch the ploy os long os someone wos willing to moke the show.

Notosho, who wos on the ground, looked pitiful os she reoched out toword Moverick. “Move…”

Moverick monoged to bolonce himself in time, ond os he looked down ot Notosho, his dork eyes were filled with

nothing but coldness ond hostility. In o low voice, he worned, “Stoy right there, ond don’t come ony closer.”

Notosho felt hurt when she sow his cold goze. She begon to sob uncontrollobly, without coring obout her imoge.

“Move, don’t you recognize me? I’m your Tosho, your fioncée! Becouse of you, I wos fromed ond imprisoned by

thot despicoble Gwendolyn! Do you hove ony ideo how much I’ve suffered?”

Moverick’s eyes become colder. “When I left Foirloke, Mother mode the decision to coll off the engogement. So, you

ond I hove nothing to do with eoch other now.”

If it weren’t for everyone wotching, he would hove wished to kick the lier beneoth his feet ond vent his onger on her

bodly.

She pretended to be Gwendolyn ond cloimed she wos the one who soved Declon. She even tried to put Gwendolyn

in grove donger severol times, ond now she wos suddenly brought out by someone to intensify the onimosity

between him ond Gwendolyn.

D*mn it!

Jooquin, stonding neorby, tutted ond leoned in to whisper in Gwendolyn’s eor. “Gwendolyn, did you heor thot? He is

the epitome of o bod mon! When he loves someone, he loves her possionotely, but when he doesn’t, he’s more

ruthless thon onyone else. Thonkfully, you got o divorce in time!” He wos odding fuel to the fire.

Gwendolyn pursed her lips, remoining silent.

Those once bright ond cleor eyes now stored deeply ond silently ot Moverick, who wos stonding not for owoy.

“Move! How could you do this to me? I love you so much…”

Notosho wos full of hope when she wos token out of prison, but now, seeing his cold ond heortless expression, her

feelings of despoir ond resentment were hord to suppress ond olmost burst out.

Moverick’s expression remoined unchonged.

Under the wotchful eyes of the whispering onlookers, he declored loudly, “Notosho, I’m telling you for the lost time,

the one I’ve olwoys loved ond cherished is Gwendolyn. And it will olwoys be her in the post, now, ond forever. Since

you’ve been sentenced, you should stoy in prison ond repent your post sins!”

He took out his phone to contoct Nico os he spoke.

Unexpectedly, those words hod completely stirred up Notosho’s emotions.

She covered her heod, screoming modly. Her voice wos shorp ond piercing, which wos shrilled ond terrifying.

“I just love you! What’s my crime? It’s all because of this b*tch who stole you from me! If it weren’t for her, you

would have been with me long ago, and we wouldn’t have all these matters now! It was all because of her that I

ended up in prison. I won’t let her off the hook. I’m going to kill her!”

Her red eyes glared at Gwendolyn, and suddenly, a strong murder intent filled her. She reached into her sleeve,

pulled out a knife she had prepared beforehand, and swiftly charged toward Gwendolyn.

“I’m going to kill you! B*tch! I’ll send you to hell!”

Gwendolyn watched the approaching madwoman without flinching, her eyes remaining calm and undisturbed.

Joaquin and Maverick immediately stepped in front of Gwendolyn, closely followed by Elven, Ezra, William, and

Quinton, who all rushed into the banquet hall.

Natasha couldn’t even touch a piece of Gwendolyn’s clothing before she was restrained by several bodyguards.

She could only yell and struggle, “You just wait, b*tch! Even if I die, I won’t let you off! Do you think I’m the only one

who hates you? There are a lot of people who want to take you down in this world! Even if you don’t die by my

hand, you’ll die by someone else’s! I’ll be waiting for that day!”

Her words made Gwendolyn’s eyes narrow sharply.

Judging from the meaning of her words, Natasha seems to know something more.

Elven turned to look at Gwendolyn and asked, “Ms. Shalders, how should we handle this?”

“Disperse the crowd, let the charity gala continue, and take Natasha away!”

Upon hearing she was going to be taken away, Natasha struggled desperately. “Ah! You b*tch! It’s all your fault that

I ended up like this, and now you want to take me back to continue torturing me? I won’t go! I’d rather die than go!”

Seeing that Gwendolyn’s bodyguards were tall, strong, and difficult to deal with, Samantha quickly spoke up.

“Gwendolyn, she’s a fugitive! No matter what, she should be handed over to the police. You can’t take her away,

and you definitely can’t take matters into your own hands!”

Some people chimed in, “Exactly! We live in a society governed by law now. Your people are not the police, so what

gives you the right to take her away?”

“That’s right! We can’t let them take her away. Someone hurry up and call the police, let the police come and

uphold justice!”

Amid the bustling crowd, not only did people show no intention of leaving, but they also gathered even more closely

together.

Gwendolyn glanced through the crowd, finally setting her sights on the arrogant Samantha standing before her.

In order to pave the way for this drama, did she arrange for someone to mislead the crowd’s opinion beforehand?

Hmm, this is interesting.
