The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 41 A Challenge

After Sheralyn said that, everyone was shocked.

Instantly, they looked at Gwendolyn oddly.

As Joaquin knew Gwendolyn’s identity, he was instantly infuriated. “Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak nonsense about my companion!”

When Sheralyn saw Joaquin still taking Gwendolyn’s side even under such circumstances, she was pissed and jealous at the same time.

Nevertheless, she did not dare to offend the fiery Joaquin. Suppressing her anger, she said, “Mr. Joaquin, you’re being fooled by this woman. She’s very good at pretending to be innocent and seducing men. My grandpa was totally deceived by her before this!”

“Shut your trap! Gwendolyn is-”

Joaquin stopped mid-sentence and turned around when he felt Gwendolyn pinching his arm hard. She frowned at him, shaking her head with an unreadable look in her eyes.

Maverick, who remained silent among the crowd all this time, saw the two’s discreet interaction clearly. Instinctively, he furrowed his eyebrows.

Having received Gwendolyn’s signal, Joaquin kept mum.

Gwendolyn walked past him and stared straight at Sheralyn with a smile. “It seems like you didn’t learn. your lesson last time since you still have the energy to gossip about others.”

Her gaze sent chills running down Sheralyn’s spine.

Since they were in public and standing far apart from each other, Sheralyn figured Gwendolyn wouldn’t dare to do anything extreme. She mustered her courage and accused, “Bold of you to mention that! You acted so brazenly last time just because you have a sugar daddy. Not only did you barge into my house and make a huge mess, but you”

“Sheralyn Wright.”

Just then, Maverick’s calm voice sounded, calling Sheralyn’s name.

Upon hearing that, Sheralyn shuddered. Whenever Maverick called her by her full name, it meant that he was really mad.

Though she was unwilling to give in, she had no choice but to gloss over the previous incident and get back to the topic.

“Anyway, you are wearing a counterfeit. Rather than getting humiliated later, you’d better just admit it

now!”

Gwendolyn did not say a word in response.
