Chapter 148


    Someone countered, “The Mossey family has already publicly cut ties with her a long time ago. She’s


    no longer Ms. Natasha of the family!”


    “But wasn’t she sentenced to prison? How could she be here?”


    “How did she be so ugly now? Her skin is so wrinkled. It feels like she has aged ten years…”


    There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.


    Natasha felt the gaze from the crowd, and her entire body trembled helplessly.


    She nced around at everyone, trying to find the most familiar figure among them.


    “Mave! I want Mave! Where’s my Mave?”


    Meanwhile, outside the crowd, Samantha’s eyes flickered, and she nced in that direction curiously.


    “Maverick, it’s so lively over there. Let’s go check it out.”


    Before Maverick could respond, she walked over, made her way through the crowd, and even kindly


    left a spot for Maverick.


    “Hey, Maverick! Isn’t this Ms. Mossey?”


    Maverick frowned tightly upon hearing the name, and his face exuded a cold aura.


    His eyes darkened, and he walked over with an imprable expression.


    Upon seeing him, Natasha’s emotions surged with excitement. She sobbed and said, “Mave! I’ve finally


    found you! You have no idea how much I’ve suffered in this period of time. I’ve endured so much


    torment in order to see you again…”


    Her voice was a bit hoarse, and she cried out in deep sorrow.


    However, her face was covered in bruises and wounds. On top of that, her bloodshot eyes made her


    look pitiful yet terrifying.


    As she sobbed, she excitedly moved closer to Maverick’s feet, trying to grab the leg of his suit pants.


    Maverick’s expression changed slightly, and he almost took a big step backward instinctively.


    Joaquin, who was enjoying red wine in the main banquet hall, faintly heard themotion in the back


    of the hall. He pulled Gwendolyn along to see what was going on.


    As soon as they arrived at the back hall, they saw Natasha persistently crawling towards Maverick’s


    feet.


    Maverick’s face looked terrible. He kept backing away as though he was trying to avoid a jinx until his


    back bumped into Gwendolyn, who just walked over.


    Gwendolyn quickly supported his lower back with her hand, the corner of her mouth slightly lifted, and


    she sneered, “Trying to fake an ident?”


    Maverick didn’t feel embarrassed. His face was slightly pale as he bent down to rub his leg.


    “Gwendolyn, my knee hurts… I want to go back to the vi.”


    His brows furrowed tightly, and when he turned to look at Gwendolyn, he quickly concealed the


    maliciousness in his eyes, recing it with a pitiful and aggrieved expression.


    Gwendolyn didn’t bother to expose him. She casually nced at Natasha, who was stunned by his


    words on the ground.


    She put on a yful smile and teased, “No way! This is your personal matter, and you should deal with


    it properly yourself.”


    After saying that, she forcefully pushed him toward Natasha with the hand that supported his lower


    back.


    Then, she watched the show with her arms crossed and watched on casually.


    The person I’ve been searching for so long unexpectedly appears at Gardens Hotel charity g.


    She was happy to watch the y as long as someone was willing to make the show.


    Natasha, who was on the ground, looked pitiful as she reached out toward Maverick. “Mave…”


    Maverick managed to bnce himself in time, and as he looked down at Natasha, his dark eyes were


    filled with nothing but coldness and hostility. In a low voice, he warned, “Stay right there, and don’t


    come any closer.”


    Natasha felt hurt when she saw his cold gaze. She began to sob uncontrobly, without caring about


    her image.


    “Mave, don’t you recognize me? I’m your Tasha, your fiancée! Because of you, I was framed and


    imprisoned by that despicable Gwendolyn! Do you have any idea how much I’ve suffered?”

    Maverick’s eyes became colder. “When I left Faike, Mother made the decision to call off the


    engagement. So, you and I have nothing to do with each other now.”


    If it weren’t for everyone watching, he would have wished to kick the lier beneath his feet and vent his


    anger on her badly.


    She pretended to be Gwendolyn and imed she was the one who saved Den. She even tried to


    put Gwendolyn in grave danger several times, and now she was suddenly brought out by someone to


    intensify the animosity between him and Gwendolyn.


    D*mn it!


    Joaquin, standing nearby, tutted and leaned in to whisper in Gwendolyn’s ear. “Gwendolyn, did you


    hear that? He is the epitome of a bad man! When he loves someone, he loves her passionately, but


    when he doesn’t, he’s more ruthless than anyone else. Thankfully, you got a divorce in time!” He was


    adding fuel to the fire.


    Gwendolyn pursed her lips, remaining silent.


    Those once bright and clear eyes now stared deeply and silently at Maverick, who was standing not far


    away.


    “Mave! How could you do this to me? I love you so much…”


    Natasha was full of hope when she was taken out of prison, but now, seeing his cold and heartless


    expression, her feelings of despair and resentment were hard to suppress and almost burst out.


    Maverick’s expression remained unchanged.


    Under the watchful eyes of the whispering onlookers, he dered loudly, “Natasha, I’m telling you for


    thest time, the one I’ve always loved and cherished is Gwendolyn. And it will always be her in the


    past, now, and forever. Since you’ve been sentenced, you should stay in prison and repent your past


    sins!”


    He took out his phone to contact Nico as he spoke.


    Unexpectedly, those words hadpletely stirred up Natasha’s emotions.


    She covered her head, screaming madly. Her voice was sharp and piercing, which was shrilled and


    terrifying.


    After soying thot, she forcefully pushed him toword Notosho with the hond thot supported his lower


    bock.


    Then, she wotched the show with her orms crossed ond wotched on cosuolly.


    The person I’ve been seorching for so long unexpectedly oppeors ot Gordens Hotel chority golo.


    She wos hoppy to wotch the ploy os long os someone wos willing to moke the show.


    Notosho, who wos on the ground, looked pitiful os she reoched out toword Moverick. “Move…”


    Moverick monoged to bolonce himself in time, ond os he looked down ot Notosho, his dork eyes were


    filled with nothing but coldness ond hostility. In o low voice, he worned, “Stoy right there, ond don’t


    come ony closer.”


    Notosho felt hurt when she sow his cold goze. She begon to sob uncontrollobly, without coring obout


    her imoge.


    “Move, don’t you recognize me? I’m your Tosho, your fioncée! Becouse of you, I wos fromed ond


    imprisoned by thot despicoble Gwendolyn! Do you hove ony ideo how much I’ve suffered?”


    Moverick’s eyes be colder. “When I left Foirloke, Mother mode the decision to coll off the


    engogement. So, you ond I hove nothing to do with eoch other now.”


    If it weren’t for everyone wotching, he would hove wished to kick the lier beneoth his feet ond vent his


    onger on her bodly.


    She pretended to be Gwendolyn ond cloimed she wos the one who soved Declon. She even tried to


    put Gwendolyn in grove donger severol times, ond now she wos suddenly brought out by someone to


    intensify the onimosity between him ond Gwendolyn.


    D*mn it!


    Jooquin, stonding neorby, tutted ond leoned in to whisper in Gwendolyn’s eor. “Gwendolyn, did you


    heor thot? He is the epitome of o bod mon! When he loves someone, he loves her possionotely, but


    when he doesn’t, he’s more ruthless thon onyone else. Thonkfully, you got o divorce in time!” He wos


    odding fuel to the fire.


    Gwendolyn pursed her lips, remoining silent.


    Those once bright ond cleor eyes now stored deeply ond silently ot Moverick, who wos stonding not for


    owoy.


    “Move! How could you do this to me? I love you so much…”


    Notosho wos full of hope when she wos token out of prison, but now, seeing his cold ond heortless


    expression, her feelings of despoir ond resentment were hord to suppress ond olmost burst out.


    Moverick’s expression remoined unchonged.


    Under the wotchful eyes of the whispering onlookers, he declored loudly, “Notosho, I’m telling you for


    the lost time, the one I’ve olwoys loved ond cherished is Gwendolyn. And it will olwoys be her in the


    post, now, ond forever. Since you’ve been sentenced, you should stoy in prison ond repent your post


    sins!”


    He took out his phone to contoct Nico os he spoke.


    Unexpectedly, those words hodpletely stirred up Notosho’s emotions.


    She covered her heod, screoming modly. Her voice wos shorp ond piercing, which wos shrilled ond


    terrifying.


    “I just love you! What’s my crime? It’s all because of this b*tch who stole you from me! If it weren’t for


    her, you would have been with me long ago, and we wouldn’t have all these matters now! It was all


    because of her that I ended up in prison. I won’t let her off the hook. I’m going to kill her!”


    Her red eyes red at Gwendolyn, and suddenly, a strong murder intent filled her. She reached into


    her sleeve, pulled out a knife she had prepared beforehand, and swiftly charged toward Gwendolyn.


    “I’m going to kill you! B*tch! I’ll send you to hell!”


    Gwendolyn watched the approaching madwoman without flinching, her eyes remaining calm and


    undisturbed.


    Joaquin and Maverick immediately stepped in front of Gwendolyn, closely followed by Elven, Ezra,


    William, and Quinton, who all rushed into the banquet hall.


    Natasha couldn’t even touch a piece of Gwendolyn’s clothing before she was restrained by several


    bodyguards.


    She could only yell and struggle, “You just wait, b*tch! Even if I die, I won’t let you off! Do you think I’m


    the only one who hates you? There are a lot of people who want to take you down in this world! Even if


    you don’t die by my hand, you’ll die by someone else’s! I’ll be waiting for that day!”


    Her words made Gwendolyn’s eyes narrow sharply.


    Judging from the meaning of her words, Natasha seems to know something more.


    Elven turned to look at Gwendolyn and asked, “Ms. Shalders, how should we handle this?”


    “Disperse the crowd, let the charity g continue, and take Natasha away!”


    Upon hearing she was going to be taken away, Natasha struggled desperately. “Ah! You b*tch! It’s all


    your fault that I ended up like this, and now you want to take me back to continue torturing me? I won’t


    go! I’d rather die than go!”


    Seeing that Gwendolyn’s bodyguards were tall, strong, and difficult to deal with, Samantha quickly


    spoke up. “Gwendolyn, she’s a fugitive! No matter what, she should be handed over to the police. You


    can’t take her away, and you definitely can’t take matters into your own hands!”


    Some people chimed in, “Exactly! We live in a society governed byw now. Your people are not the


    police, so what gives you the right to take her away?”


    “That’s right! We can’t let them take her away. Someone hurry up and call the police, let the police


    come and uphold justice!”


    Amid the bustling crowd, not only did people show no intention of leaving, but they also gathered even


    more closely together.


    Gwendolyn nced through the crowd, finally setting her sights on the arrogant Samantha standing


    before her.


    In order to pave the way for this drama, did she arrange for someone to mislead the crowd’s opinion


    beforehand?


    Hmm, this is interesting.
