Chapter 111


    Chapter 111 Is His Death Rted to Her


    After a few seconds of silence, Gwendolyn finally said, “Alright, I understand.”


    I thought Samantha kicked that cunning old fox Dexter out of town. How did hee back so quickly?


    Gwendolyn thought and subconsciously nced at Maverick, who was still wiping the floor.


    With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and wearing a white shirt and ck pants, Maverick looked


    oddly at peace.

    His quick adaptation from being Faike’s leading CEO to a servant boy made Gwendolyn wonder if he


    had gone through simr experiences before or been subjected to inhuman treatment in the past.


    Despite the fact that he was being humiliated, he still exuded an air of nobility, as if it were ingrained in


    his bones.


    Gwendolyn noticed that because of his tall stature, he had to crouch and kneel to wipe the floor. He


    seemed to be sweating again after only a short while, and there was a faint bite mark on his thin lips.


    It looks like this pose isn’t just making him feel tired. He seems to be in pain around the waist


    Gwendolyn mumbled inwardly.


    “Stop cleaning for now. You can continueter when wee back. Come with me to thepany.”


    Gwendolyn walked up and said in a t tone.


    When she turned her head, she caught sight of Maverick sighing a breath of relief, as if he was


    liberated. When he stood up, he ced a hand on his back to support his lower right back and quietly


    rubbed his knee.


    Gwendolyn said nothing and withdrew her gaze gently, before taking the lead to walk out of the door.


    Maverick followed her silently and got into the car. Soon, they arrived at Wright Construction Group.


    The door was left slightly ajar, as they approached the CEO’s office, and Dexter’s furious voice could


    be heard through the gap.


    “Call and find out where she is. Get her toe over here to see me! The Wright family isn’t extinct


    yet. Since when a divorced woman like her can get to run the show?” Dexter shouted angrily.


    Gwendolyn stood at the door and listened for a moment, before turning to Maverick and asked, “Do you


    know what to do when we go in?”


    Maverick nodded and answered, “Tell the truth.”


    Gwendolyn was content with the response and retracted her gaze. She pushed the door open, stepped


    inside, and gazed at the person sitting on the visitor’s sofa.


    “Mr. Wright, it is been a long time since west spoke, and it seems like your explosive temper has not


    waned at all. I can see why Old Mr. Wright did not feelfortable entrusting Wright Construction


    Group to you,” Gwendolyn said with a hint of sarcasm.


    With her words, Gwendolyn had delivered a direct hit that put salt in Dexter’s wounds. He had long felt


    indignant about not being valued by Den, so his expression instantly darkened with fury at her


    words.


    “Have you no respect for your elders?” Dexter asked angrily.


    “Well, polite and courteous elders certainly deserve respect, but are you one of them?” Gwendolyn sat


    Chapter 11 Is His Death Rted to Her


    calmly on the sofa across from him. Her face remained expressionless with the exception of the sneer


    ying on her lips.


    “How dare you?” Dexter snapped at her, his lips trembling with anger.


    Though the two were seated, Gwendolyn’s casual demeanor left Dexter feeling inferior.


    Dexter was about to continue lecturing her when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing next


    to her out of the corner of his eye.


    Upon closer examination, he realized it was Maverick, who had been missing for quite some time.


    “When did you return, Maverick? Since you are back, why did you allow this woman to take over Wright


    Construction Group?” Dexter queried.


    “Uncle Dexter, I only came back yesterday afternoon, and everything was already settled by then,”


    Maverick stated inly with any emotion.


    “Stop with this it is all settled’ nonsense!” Dexter spat out in anger.


    “You hold forty percent of the shares that your grandfather gave you, and you have been rumming


    Wright Construction Group for years. You have considerable power among the shareholders. How


    could you allow this woman to take away the position of thepany’s leader?” Dexter’s frustration


    boiled over as he mmed his hand on the coffee table and shouted.


    “Uncle Dexter, all the other small shares of thepany have been purchased by her, except for your


    fifteen percent, so she’s now the biggest shareholder of Wright Construction Group,” Maverick


    exined.


    “What?” Dexter asked as he was confused.


    Dexter could not help but notice the difference between Maverick’s exnation and the story


    Samantha had told him.


    Yulia, who was standing next to him, astutely ced thepany’s share register on the coffee table.


    After examining it closely, Dexter’s expression darkened.


    He was not in Faike yesterday, so it would make sense for Gwendolyn to take charge if Maverick


    was not around. However, he had been coveting the position of the top executive for so many years


    that he refused to let an outsider take over so easily.


    He shifted his gaze back to Maverick who stood there and said, “What are you standing there for?


    Come and sit down. You are the secondrgest shareholder of thepany, after all.”


    Gwendolyn also nced at Maverick.


    Maverick kept his lips tightly shut without saying anything and lowered his head like a once prideful lion


    that had its ws removed.


    “I speak for him as he is my housekeeper now. He only gets to stand since his master is talking to a


    guest.” Gwendolyn was rather satisfied with Maverick’s obedience and turned to Dexter with a smile.


    Dexter could not believe what he heard and gaped. His eyes shifted back and forth between the two as


    he tried to process what Gwendolyn had just said.


    As soon as he realized the situation, he was incensed. “You stupid fool! Did you sign a contract to sell


    yourself? Acting all meek and obedient in front of a woman, with your head bowed and agreeing to


    Chapter III Is His Death Rted to Her


    everything, you’ve brought dishonor upon the Wright family!” Dexter eximed in anger.

    Dexter was a man of traditional values, and on top of that, Maverick was the only child the Wright


    family had raised with such high hopes.


    Despite his initial reluctance to let Maverick take over as the head of Wright Construction Group.


    Dexter eventually relented, knowing that Maverick had the ability to lead thepany to great sess.


    Indeed, under Maverick’s leadership, thepany had reached new heights, which had enabled


    Dexter to live quitefortably off of his share dividends. However, Maverick had ended up being


    wrapped around at woman’s fingers.


    “Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your grandfather and my brother!” Dexter shouted angrily


    as he rushed forward and pped Maverick hard across his face.


    Maverick remained motionless and did not move an eyebrow as Dexter charged towards him.


    There was a crisp sound of a “snap”.


    Maverick emitted a muffled grunt as his left cheek became visibly swollen, with blood starting to trickle


    from the corners of his mouth.


    The strength of the p overwhelmed his weakened physical condition, and he instantly lost bnce.


    Gwendolyn quickly caught him as he fell.


    However, Dexter was not done venting his anger yet. He lifted his palm again, ready to deliver another


    p.


    “This is not the Wright family’s meeting room, nor is it yourpany. If you want to hit someone, go


    back and do it there. Don’t try to act tough in front of me.” Gwendolyn grabbed his hand and pushed


    him back hard.


    The bodyguards at the side intervened swiftly and forced Dexter back onto the couch.


    Maverick regained his bnce and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a calm


    expression. He did not even flinch when Dexter rushed up to him. His deep ck gaze was unreadable


    as though he was nning something.


    Gwendolyn was a little angry when she saw Maverick’s pitiful state.


    “In case you did not know, the Wright residence is no longer the exclusive property of the Wright family.


    The traditional and rigid rules in the meeting room should be done away with!” Gwendolyn cast a


    venomous re at Dexter and jeered.


    “Did this woman take over the Wright residence as well?” Dexter asked.


    Dexter felt frustrated and exasperated. Then, he thought of Frida, and looked at Maverick’s indifferent


    expression, before pointing and cursing at him.


    “Do you realize that you are abetting the wicked? I left Faike a few days ago because I found


    evidence that suggests this woman is involved in your grandfather’s death!” Dexter said.


    Upon hearing that, Maverick finally lifted his gaze and focused on Dexter.


    “This woman was responsible for my father’s death! And now she is scheming to take over the Wright


    family’s business. She is a cunning and vicious woman! We cannot let such a woman stay!” Dexter


    gnashed


    Chapter 111 Is His Death Rted to Her


    his teeth as he spoke.


    He gave Maverick a pointed look.


    “Do not be indecisive, or you will pay the price. Maverick, you must make up your mind soon, Dexter


    warned.
