The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 308 Gwendolyn Intends To Send Someone To Hell

Narrowing his eyes, Charles fixed his gaze on Cedrick before bursting out in a hysterical laugh.

“So Gwen didn’t tell you anything! She’s even hiding our deal from you! There’s no trust in your relationship with

her.”

Cedrick’s hand shivered briefly, and the coffee scalded his fingertips.

“Why? Did I just call you out?” Charles was pleased with himself. “Hmph. You’ve done so much for her and have

endured so much pain, but you’ll only end up worse if she decides to be with me.”

His insults had no effect on Cedrick. With his face still expressionless, Cedrick lifted his hand gracefully to pick up a

wet tissue and dry the coffee on his hand before applying a cold compress on his scalded fingers.

“Not talking, huh? In that case, continue hitting him.”

On Cedrick’s words, Nico lifted the bat again, but just then, Charles yelled, “Okay! I’ll tell you everything!”

Deep down, he was dying for Cedrick to find out about the deal, which would only make things more fun for

Charles.

“She has to renounce her engagement with you and marry me in return for the antidote. She agreed to the terms

two days ago when I gave her the antidote.”

Crash!

A shattering sound cut Charles off just as he finished speaking. Cedrick had smashed the pot of hot coffee on the

ground, sending the broken pieces flying off and the liquid splattering.

Some of the sharp broken glasses happened to scratch Charles‘ calf and cut open his skin, but he grew more

maniac when Cedrick lashed out.

“There’s no point in living for you, Mr. Jenson. You’ll have to lose her to me and watch me have her for the rest of

your life. I bet that’s worse than dying.”

Those words provoked a thirst for violence in Cedrick as his eyes shot red with blood and murderous intent.

When Nico sensed that Cedrick was on the verge of killing Charles, he stepped in and pointed at Charles, ordering

the guards, “Beat the sh*t out of this b*stard! Spare none of the tools on that wall. I want him to be barely living.”

“Yes, sir!”

Since Nico had spoken, Cedrick found it unnecessary to say anything else and got up to leave the room, with Nico

following closely.

Behind them, Charles was still laughing heartily. “I feel so sorry for you, Mr. Jenson! By the time you recover, Gwen

will be panting underneath me! It’s going to be fun, so much fun!”

Cedrick clenched his fists tight, with veins bulging out on his forehead.

Watching Cedrick consumed by an impulse to exterminate Charles, Nico rushed over and assured the former,

“What he said might not be true. He used to be the head of the Central Intelligence Agency. They’re all pros at

getting into people’s heads, so take what he said with a pinch of salt. We should verify everything on our own.”

Over in the underground room, Charles could be heard crying in agony and laughing intermittently.

Listening to his spooky voice, Cedrick took a deep breath and steadied his gaze. Then, he walked away without

looking back.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn spotted a small grey truck at the roadside when she arrived at the Ferguson residence.

Beside it, Wyatt and Emma were loading their luggage into the vehicle.

From the looks of it, the family had dismissed all their housekeepers and bodyguards, leaving the once–promising

couple in the upper circle in a humbling state where they had to carry their own baggage. Gwendolyn was sure that

Cedrick had ensured they paid for what they did.

When Gwendolyn’s Maserati MC77 happened to pull up beside the truck, the two vehicles formed a stark contrast.

Having first spotted the car, Emma turned grim and asked, “Are you here to add salt to our wounds, Ms. Harris?

Isn’t it enough that we’ve lost everything?”

“Don’t be rude, Darling!” Wyatt rebuked, eyeing her. Then, he turned to Gwendolyn and said kindly, “Our families

go way back, so Ms. Harris is always welcome here. She’s our guest. She’s not here to cause trouble.”

Gwendolyn smiled at the tactful old man who had just spoken the right words to ease the

tension.

“Rest assured, Mr. Wyatt. I’m just here to see Eloise. I wish to speak to her privately.”

“She’s packing her stuff upstairs,” Emma said, looking more friendly.

Gwendolyn nodded and went to the mansion. When she reached the third floor, where Eloise’s room was, the door

was found to be left ajar.

Pushing the door gently, Gwendolyn caught Eloise looking reluctantly at her luxury bags and jewelry.

Gwendolyn knocked on the door with her knuckles, then reminded the woman calmly, “You can’t take any of these

with you. The bank will confiscate them and sell them off to repay your family’s loan, so you can stop mulling over

them.”

Eloise looked up toward the voice, and her eyes were filled with hatred when she saw Gwendolyn.

“What are you doing here? Are you trying to put salt on my wound?”

“Of course. This could be my last chance to see you,” Gwendolyn admitted.

“I thought you’d at least say some nice things and play the good guy, but you’re always this blunt with me. I

shouldn’t have gone soft and let you live back in Fairlake,” Eloise replied, laughing lightly.

Then, she dropped the things in her hands and stood with her chin held high before Gwendolyn as if to show that

she would never back down.

Gwendolyn could not understand her unrepentance and ego.

“Your parents worked hard their whole lives, but they ended up living in an eighty–six square feet house in their old

age because of you. Your brother’s good reputation is in tatters because of you too. None of the big companies

dared to take him in despite his qualifications. To maintain a livelihood, he will have to settle for labor work like

being a bricklayer or a car detailer. How could you not feel remorseful when you’ve caused them so much pain?”

Eloise scorned her. “That’s life for them. They are my family, but they didn’t contribute to my endeavors either. It’s

their fate that they end up like this. Also, you might have defeated me this time, but don’t get ahead of yourself.

Someone will be coming for you, and I’m waiting for that.”

Gwendolyn approached Eloise and whispered, “By ‘someone,’ do you mean Evelyn?”

Eloise’s face stiffened as she stared at Gwendolyn without saying a word.

“I bet she’s the one who orchestrated everything during your birthday party, right,” Gwendolyn pointed out.

The truth was, she had long suspected Evelyn since the first time they met.

“You mean that actress? She’s nothing. Who is she to order me around?” Eloise scoffed, retracting her icy glare.

Gwendolyn was unconvinced. “You don’t have to admit to it. I’ll find out one day.”

Speaking, she took out the printed evidence from her bag and read them aloud. “You drove under the influence of

alcohol five years ago and hit someone dead. Wyatt forged a report explaining your mental condition and pumped

money to clear you of the charge, but dissatisfied with the verdict, the victim’s family condemned you online. After

discovering this, you had your bodyguards teach two of the family members a lesson, leaving them deeply injured.

Wyatt then interfered again to quell the issue.”

Eloise stared at Gwendolyn with her eyes wide like saucers. “How did you xo.com fast updateknow?”

Gwendolyn ignored her question and continued, “Four years ago, you were offended by a waiter you claimed to be

rude at a socialite party, so you beat him to a pulp. That guy ended up

with several comminuted fractures. In the same year, you-

“That’s enough!” Snarling, Eloise snatched the document from Gwendolyn and ripped everything to pieces. “It’s

your words against mine. I’m not admitting to any of these charges!”

Gwendolyn folded her arms and curved her red lips into a smile at Eloise’s reaction. “Say that again when you’re

behind bars.”

Eloise felt a chill down her spine, realizing things could be worse than she expected.

“W–What do you mean?”

Just as she spoke, a commotion broke out from downstairs.
