The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 114 Investigate Her Identity Thoroughly

Upon hearing this, the bodyguards hesitated.

They could almost imagine the unpleasant odor of him doing the business. Oh, no….

However, if they didn’t go in and keep an eye on Maverick, allowing him to escape, they would face challenges in explaining the situation to Gwendolyn.

While the two were caught in a double bind, Maverick, wearing a sly smile, added, “In order to ensure safety, all the restroom windows in the Wright residence are sealed. If you don’t believe me, you can go and verify it yourselves.”

As he spoke, he entered the restroom and made an attempt to open the window right in front of the bodyguards.

After that, the bodyguards personally tested the window, only to confirm that it was indeed sealed. They thoroughly inspected the entire restroom and found nothing significant except a small ventilation duct on the ceiling. The duct was very small and didn’t seem like it could serve as an escape route.

Seeing them hesitate, Maverick spoke up again, “I’m suffering from an upset stomach, and I might need about fifteen minutes. I apologize for the inconvenience.”

The two of them agreed.

“Then you only have fifteen minutes. If you haven’t emerged by then, we will barge in straightaway and won’t be concerned about what you’re doing inside.”

Maverick nodded, and the bodyguard turned around and left, standing guard at the door.

He gently locked the door behind him, quickly stepped onto the sink, and opened the ventilation duct on the ceiling.

In fact, during the initial design of this ventilation duct, an escape route was discreetly incorporated for the sake of any emergencies.

From the exterior, the duct appeared deceptively small. However, upon closer examination, one would notice half a brick’s length of the duct was cleverly concealed behind the metal mesh, making it challenging to detect at first glance.

Once inside, two distinct passages awaited. One led to the villa’s rooftop while the other led to the back door.

When he entered the Wright residence, he heard an unusual bird call emanating from above. So, he decided to take the passage leading to the rooftop.

However, despite the ventilation duct being spacious enough to accommodate him, it was still a tight fit. With his towering height of one hundred and eighty-eight centimeters, he had no choice but to move forward by bending his knees. Halfway through the arduous journey, exhaustion began to set in, and his waist injury started to throb.
