The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 264 No Matter What It Takes

However, he couldn’t snatch his sister’s breakfast, so he could only sulk in silence.

He wasn’t able to get a word in as the two girls chatted happily as if they couldn’t see him.

It made him feel frustrated about the meal.

Meanwhile, Jennifer and Gwendolyn had a pleasant meal.

After breakfast, Treyton went to work.

As Gwendolyn was here and they were heading in the same way, it was the first time he didn’t accompany Jennifer

down the mountain.

Treyton glanced at Elisha, who was in the passenger seat, and asked, “Don’t you feel something is off today?”

“Something is off?”

Elisha was perplexed and glanced back at Treyton. “No, everything seemed normal to me.”

Treyton didn’t say anything else. He opened his computer to check on his work for the day.

Eloise’s car was parked a hundred meters away. She watched Treyton’s car leave Mount Tranquil from the

corner.

Gunnar said, “It seems like Mr. Harris didn’t send the girl down the mountain today. She should still be in the villa.”

Eloise gritted her teeth. “That’s great. I have to take away that wretched woman today!”

She had no trouble entering Mount Tranquil as Treyton’s fiancée.

In Treyton’s villa, Gwendolyn and Jennifer were chatting as they washed the dishes.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Gwendolyn was puzzled and went to open the door. “Treyton, don’t you have the keys? Are you too lazy to open the

door? Did you forget the documents on the table? I see them!”

She opened the door and saw Eloise’s enraged expression. “Ms. Ferguson?”

Eloise was surprised to see her. “Gwendolyn, why is it you? Besides you, are there any other women here?”

Gwendolyn smiled coldly. “Did you come here early in the morning to question me?”

Eloise couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. She pushed past Gwendolyn and ran into the living room.

Jennifer heard the commotion. She emerged from the kitchen after finishing the dishes and locked eyes with Eloise.

The latter scrutinized her with resentment. She charged over toward Jennifer and raised her hand to slap the latter

across the face.

“B*tch! How dare you seduce Trey!”

Jennifer grew up in an orphanage and had a tough childhood.

Therefore, upon predicting that Eloise was going to attack her, she instinctively defended herself and grabbed

Eloise’s wrist.

Eloise tried to struggle but to no avail.

She was a delicate lady from a wealthy family, so she was much weaker compared to Jennifer.

She screeched, “How dare you fight back! I won’t be satisfied until I tear your face apart today! Gunnar, come in!

Beat her up!”

Gunnar brought in two bodyguards from the Ferguson family and approached Jennifer menacingly.

Gwendolyn immediately stood in front of Jennifer. “Eloise, look around. This is the Harris residence. What are you

doing?”

Eloise glanced at her, seething with anger. “Gwendolyn, I’m your future sister-in-law! Why aren’t you helping me?

Instead, you’re siding with this wretched woman?”

“Stop calling her nasty words such as a wretched woman. Where’s your etiquette as a woman brought up in the

Ferguson family?”

Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and continued, “Moreover, Jennifer is my guest. I’m the one who requested for her

to stay here temporarily. Jennifer and Treyton have an innocent relationship. Stop fighting with every single woman

you see!”

“Innocent?”

Eloise was no longer thinking rationally.

“She lives with Trey and even sleeps with him! My people have seen them together so many times! How could you

say they have an innocent relationship?”

Eloise gritted her teeth and glared at Gwendolyn.

“I have already said it before. We can get along peacefully if you don’t hinder my relationship with Trey.. However,

not only do you not keep yourself in check, you even tried to get a wretched woman to seduce Trey! I’m going to

teach you both a lesson today!”

She looked toward Gunnar. “Beat them up mercilessly! Then, tie them up and bring them back!”

Gunnar didn’t dare to make a move. “Ms. Ferguson, she’s part of the Harris family!”

Everyone knew that Marcus and Treyton were very fond of Gwendolyn.

She was the precious darling of the Harris family that no one dared to lay a hand on!

Eloise ignored him completely and stated, “Do as I say! If something happens, I’ll take the blame! If you don’t dare

to do it, I’m firing you immediately!”

Gunnar had no choice but to signal to the two bodyguards.

The two bodyguards took out the stun batons they had prepared earlier and approached Jennifer and

Gwendolyn.

Gwendolyn saw their weapons and immediately shielded Jennifer behind her.

When she looked at Eloise, her gaze was icy cold.

“If you dare to even lay a hand on me, I promise you and your lackeys won’t be able to leave the Harris residence

standing. Do you dare to try it?”

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards froze, not daring to move an inch.

Eloise sneered disdainfully. “I’m Trey’s fiancée. He is keeping a mistress in his villa. Even if Mr. Marcus is here, he

won’t be able to stop me. As for you, you would be accidentally injured by my bodyguards. I’ll personally apologize

to Mr. Marcus. You might have extensive training in jiu-jitsu, but you would face some difficulties fighting

barehanded against my bodyguards with their stun batons, right?”

She chuckled ioudly.

The bodyguards immediately turned their stun batons to the strongest setting and swung them toward Jennifer and

Gwendolyn.

Jennifer immediately pushed Gwendolyn away so that the stun batons hit her instead.

“Jennifer!” Gwendolyn was caught off guard as she staggered back a few steps before regaining her balance.

Just as the stun batons were about to hit Jennifer, the entrance suddenly opened loudly.

The next second, a dagger pierced through the bodyguards’ hands. Blood immediately gushed out.

The stun batons fell to the ground, and the bodyguards’ mournful screams could be heard in the living

room.

“Ms. Ferguson, do you think too highly of yourself for you to think that you can cause trouble in my place?”

A deep voice tinged with anger rang out from the garden.

Eloise held her breath in fear upon hearing this familiar voice.

Why did Treyton come back? I saw him leave Mount Tranquil with my own eyes!

Instantly, everyone turned toward the entrance.

Treyton walked into the living room with a stern expression.

If he hadn’t left in such a hurry and forgotten the documents on his desk, he wouldn’t have seen Eloise’s disgusting

behavior in his villa.

“Trey, our engagement was arranged by our families a long time ago. Even if you have been unwilling to marry me

for years and tried to break off the engagement twice, you know what will happen in the end! I am your fiancée,

even if you don’t want to admit it!”

Treyton didn’t even spare her a glance. He walked past her to check on Jennifer and Gwendolyn.

“Are you hurt?”

The two shook their heads.

Eloise’s eyes reddened from his apparent lack of concern for her.

“You quarreled with me and tried to break off the engagement because of Gwendolyn the last time we were in

Fairlake. Since she’s your sister, I tolerated it. However, you’re secretly living with a woman this time! How could

xo.com fast updateyou do this? Have you thought about our families?”

Upon hearing this, Gwendolyn frowned.

How could she be so unreasonable? I’ve already told her Jennifer had nothing to do with Treyton.

She could not believe how delusional and paranoid Eloise was.

Just as Gwendolyn was about to explain, Treyton said coldly, “You are the one who embarrassed our families. I only

have contempt for you now that you schemed to get engaged to me. However, there is one thing you guessed

right. I like Jennifer, and I want to marry her. So, your engagement with me will only be a joke. This time, I will spare

no cost to cancel this marriage!”

Eloise was stunned after he finished speaking. Jennifer and Gwendolyn also stared at him in disbelief.
