The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 111 Is His Death Related 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 he come back so quickly? Gwendolyn thought and subconsciously glanced at Maverick, who was still wiping the floor.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and wearing a white shirt and black pants, Maverick looked oddly at peace.

His quick adaptation from being Fairlake’s leading CEO to a servant boy made Gwendolyn wonder if he had gone through similar 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 continue later when we come back. Come with me to the company.” Gwendolyn walked up and said in a flat 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 placed 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 to come 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 we last spoke, and it seems like your explosive temper has not waned at all. I can see why Old Mr. Wright did not feel comfortable entrusting Wright Construction Group to you,” Gwendolyn said with a hint of sarcasm.
