Chapter 38


    Chapter 38 Unbelievable


    The two people in the living room had already fought two rounds by then.


    Gwendolyn failed tond 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.


    Caught by surprise, Maverick was soon forced to stop what he was doing when the silver needle was


    pressed against his Adam’s apple.


    Thank god I’m wearing the ring Kieran has given to me for self-defense. Although the needle is small,


    it’s unusually sturdy.


    It was as if time had frozen for the two of them.


    They were so close that they could almost feel each other’s breaths.


    Maverick’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed, and a crimson drop of blood rolled


    down from his neck and stained the cor of his white shirt like a tiny blooming flower.


    He furrowed his brows. “Must you be this ruthless?”


    Gwendolyn sneered. “For clingy rats like you? Yes.”


    Maverick’s lips curled even more, and he inched closer to her.


    It was as if he was certain she would not have the courage to end his life in the mansion.


    “Take another step closer to me, and I won’t hesitate slitting your throat. You can try if you don’t believe


    me.”


    Gwendolyn’s words were spoken in a soft tone, but Maverick could see the steely resolution in her


    eyes.


    She bites if she’s cornered.


    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.


    After taking one of the copies, she left without sparing him another nce.

    Maverick watched her saunter away nonchntly as he reached up to touch the blood on his neck with


    Chapter 38 Unbelievable


    an unreadable expression.


    Gwendolyn strode out of the mansion without stopping.


    When Noah caught sight of her, he instinctively flinched. Once she walked past him, he rushed into the


    mansion to check on Maverick.


    Gwendolyn ignored him. She took out her phone to call Joanne instead.


    “Get a few people to manage Bay Vi. Throw out all the furniture and refurnish the ce. Rent all


    the flowers in the garden too.”


    “Of course, Ms. Shalders,” Joanne replied subserviently. “When are you nning to move in, Ms.


    Shalders? I’ll make arrangements based on that date.


    Gwendolynughed. “Who said I was going to move in?”


    “Huh? Ms. Shalders, are you not going to move in there? Then…”


    Before Joanne could finish her sentence, Gwendolyn ended the call.


    Gwendolyn then proceeded to walk to her car parked by the entrance. Right as she opened the car


    door, she heard the telltale sound of a car slowly driving toward her from behind.


    It stopped a distance away from her, however.


    Natasha then came out of the backseat. It seemed like there was someone else in the backseat of the


    car. From the way the person positioned their hands Gwendolyn surmised it was a woman. s, her


    face was blocked, so Gwendolyn could not see who she was.


    It was not as if Gwendolyn was going to concern herself with her, anyway. After one nce, she looked


    away and was about to get into her car and leave.


    Right then, Natasha jogged over to her and stopped her from closing the car door.


    Surprised, she cried out, “Why are you here? Are you still trying to cling to Mave? Mave has nothing to


    do with you anymore!”


    Gwendolyn was amused by her words, and she grinnell. “This is a question you should be asking him.


    He was the one who invited me here.”


    Natasha’s eyes widened.


    “Why would Mave ever invite you here? If you weren pestering him, do you really think he’ll spare you


    another look?”


    Despite the disbelief in her words, Natasha felt slightly skeptical.


    Gwendolyn then took out the transfer agreement from her bag and waved it in front of Natasha. “Take a


    good look at this. Your dear Mave just transferred this house’s ownership to me.”


    With that said, she shoved Natasha aside.


    Natasha lost her bnce and stumbled for a while as her eyes reddened.


    Chapter 38 Unbelievable


    Mave gave this house to Gwendolyn? He won’t even let me get close to him, but he’s generously giving


    this property to her? Why? What’s so good about her?


    Natasha was fuming, but on second thought, she soon arrived at another conclusion.


    ring at Gwendolyn, she gritted out, “This must bepensation for the divorce. He’s only doing this


    to draw a clear line between you and him. You better don’t try anything else with him from now


    on!”


    Gwendolyn sneered and wasn’t at all angered by the other woman’s threat. As she shot Natasha a


    frigid look, she said, “From now on, this is my private property. It’s best for unimportant people like you,


    Ms. Mossey, to stay far away from this ce. Otherwise, I won’t hesitate in getting someone to kick


    you.


    out.”


    “You-”


    Steam was almosting out of Natasha’s cars by then. When she saw Gwendolyn opening the door


    to sit in the driver’s seat, a sh of glee appeared in her eyes.


    “You used to have Treyton backing you, so I couldn’t defeat you. But from tomorrow onward, you’ll


    always be beneath me!”


    Gwendolyn only gave her a nce and did not bother dwelling on her words at all. In the next second,


    she started her engine and sped off. The tailpipe emitted smoke in its wake, causing Natasha to cough


    relentlessly.


    Yet, there was nothing she could do but stomp her foot against the ground as she red viciously at


    the departing green Volkswagen Santana.


    I’d like to see how long she can keep up that arrogance of hers!


    Gwendolyn drove back to Treyton’s mansion. When she drove past the LED screen in themercial.


    district, she saw the news of the Mossey family’s eldest daughter-Inez Mossey’s ident due to drunk


    driving. Apparently, Inez was temporarily out of danger after receiving emergency treatment, but it was


    likely that she would be in a vegetative state forever.


    The Mossey couple was sobbing uncontrobly on screen.


    Gwendolyn only nced at it for one whole second before returning her focus back to the road.


    Three dayster, Gwendolyn went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon.


    The employees were exceptionally nosy that day, and they looked extremely excited while they were


    gossiping.


    Even though Gwendolyn was puzzled as to what was going on, she was, at heart, not interested in


    rumors and gossip.


    “Ms. Shalders, have you heard of the morning news?”


    Joanne came over to sit beside Gwendolyn with two other assistants she was on good terms with.


    “What news?”


    Upon hearing that answer from Gwendolyn, Joanne raised her brows and eximed enthusiastically,


    Chapter 38 Unbelievable


    “You know about the Mossey family’s daughter’s ident, right? It’s only been a few days, but the


    Mosseys are announcing that they’ll be bringing their second daughter, who’s recuperating overseas


    from her illness, back to the country.”


    Gwendolyn did not even lift her head as she focused on eating. “What’s interesting about that?”


    “Do you know who the other daughter is? She’s the one who Wright Construction Group’s CEO just


    announced as his fiancée a while ago! She’s Natasha Mossey!”


    Gwendolyn stiffened.


    When Joanne finally saw a hint of reaction from Gwendolyn, she raised her voice and grew even more


    excited. “Everyone’s talking about how unbelievable e Mosseys are. Their eldest daughter had just


    be a vegetable a few days ago, and now, they’re about to wee their youngest daughter back


    to the family here.”


    The other two female employees who shared a table with them joined in the discussion, talking about


    their dissatisfaction with the Mossey family’s actions. They even boldly spected that Natasha’s


    identity wasn’t as simple as the one the Mosseys announced to the public.


    The news spread like wildfire, and everyone was talking about it, holding different opinions.


    Gwendolyn merely listened to them wordlessly and did not join in the discussion.


    Suddenly, she recalled the words Natasha had said to her at Bay Vi.


    It seems like Inez’s drunk driving incident isn’t simply an ident. Now that Natasha’s illegitimate


    status has turned legitimate, what else is she going to do next?
