    Chapter 6 My Divorce Compensation


    Hearing Gwendolyn’s remark, Maverick frowned. When did I say that I wanted to abandon her? And


    why would she think so?


    Bewilderment deluged him. Just as he was going to chase after her and talk things out, someone


    clutched at the hem of his suit pants from behind.


    On the ground, Natasha lifted her face, looking all piteous.


    Sobbing softly, she rationalized, “Mave… I’m sorry. I was just afraid… I was afraid that you would’ve


    really fallen in love with Gwendolyn in the three years I’ve been away. I was scared that you wouldn’t


    want me anymore…”


    With his brows still creased together, Maverick looked down at her. The instant he glimpsed her slightly


    swollen cheek, his gaze softened. Ultimately, he reached out and helped her up, his voice turning


    gentle.


    “I’ve said that I’ll give you a status. A divorce was merely a matter of time. This time, you were too


    impatient.”


    Grasping his sleeve, Natasha pouted forlornly. “It was all my fault, but I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. I


    just used the wrong method. Mave… please forgive me!”


    Upon receiving no further response from the man, she leaned against him weakly and tentatively bared


    an expanse of her fair shoulder.


    Maverick’s gaze darkened, and he almost instinctively pushed her away.


    “Mave!”


    The red tinge to Natasha’s eyes deepened a shade, and she fixated her eyes on him resentfully.


    Does he really harbor such great aversion toward me now? Argh! How unfair! Why is it that Gwendolyn


    bagged himst night, but I can’t even draw close to him or test the waters?


    “That’s enough.”


    Maverick gripped her hand. Narrowing his chilly eyes a fraction, he studied her with such a look in them


    that she was as though a stranger to him. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    “Tasha, I never thought you would also resort to such methods and make those derisivements.


    You were pure and innocent in the past.”


    Taken aback, Natasha realized that she had truly angered the man this time.


    He’s a man with strong principles and a line that can’t be crossed. Once I cross it, he’ll only hate me all


    the more!


    “No, that’s not it! I’m sorry. I’ve realized my mistakes; it was just a moment of recklessness. I’ll never do


    it again in the future. Even if it’s only because I once saved you all those years ago, please give me a


    chance to repent, Mave.”


    At the mention of the incident many years ago, her bright and determined gaze shed across


    Maverick’s mind.


    She was merely a tiny thing back then, but she stepped out and protected me. Oh well!


    The look in his eyes gradually turned tender. “Let’s forget about this matter. However, don’t do it again


    in the future.”


    At once, relief suffused Natasha. No sooner had she nned to act coquettish with him than he held


    his hand out to her with his palm facing up.


    “Hand me the key.”


    Her expression froze, and she made to fib, but Maverick cut her off, saying, “I know Noah gave you the


    key to the mansion without my permission. Return it to me.”


    Noah Lidson was his assistant, who had worked for him for many years.


    Seeing that he had hit the nail on the head, Natasha had no choice but to hand the key back to


    Maverick begrudgingly.


    “Don’te to this mansion again in the future. I’ll arrange a ce for you as soon as possible. You


    must be tired today, so go back to the hotel and rest.”


    Without giving her any chance to argue, Maverick ordered the driver to send her back.


    It wasn’t until after she had left that Noah, who stood in the garden, cautiously entered the living room.


    He stopped in front of Maverick, waiting for the lecture to begin.


    Maverick swung his ebony eyes on the man, his voice icy. “You have no right to make decisions on my


    behalf. You’re gone if there’s a second time.”


    “Understood.”


    Maverick then yanked at his tie before taking a puff of his cigarette. s, the look in Gwendolyn’s eyes


    before she left popped into his mind.


    It was both cial and piercing.


    Could it be that she was so resolute about getting a divorce because I used her wrongly? Never


    mind that, but she even put up a tough front, not even asking me for a single cent. Does she really


    think she can survive without money?


    He didn’t want to think about her at all, but he felt his heart be dreadfully heavy. Some emotion


    started consuming him, and it made him exceedingly ill at ease. “Send some men to search for


    Gwendolyn and notify me immediately when she’s found. Also, transfer ownership of this mansion to


    her as my divorcepensation.”


    “Understood.”


    In the meantime, Gwendolyn had found Angle Corporation’s address on the inte. Lugging her


    suitcase along, she hailed a taxi and headed over right away.


    Since she had agreed to manage thepany, she decided to make a trip over for a look and


    complete the handover posthaste.


    Upon arriving at thepany, she went up to the receptionist and dered, “Please notify your current


    CEO that I’d like to see him.”


    The receptionist’s expression stiffened on the spot, and she scrutinized Gwendolyn from head to toe.


    Although she’s quite pretty, her whole outfit costs less than two hundred. On top of that, she demanded


    to see the CEO right off the bat. How brazen!


    “Do you have an appointment?”


    In response, Gwendolyn shook her head. “No.”


    Hearing that, the receptionist almost burst intoughter. “You haven’t got an appointment, yet you dare


    come to Angle and kick up a fuss? I guess nowadays, any Tom, Dick, and Harry have the guts to throw


    their weight around without knowing their ce!”


    The harsh and insulting words had a frown marring Gwendolyn’s countenance. “Is this how you usually


    greet clients?”
