The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 124 Master Or Gwendolyn

Gwendolyn was shocked to hear him call her “Gwenny. She wondered why Maverick was behaving differently today.

She didn’t speak, and anger surged within Sherman when he heard Maverick.interrupting his own confession.

Taking advantage of his drunken state, he got up from the ground and rushed over, fiercely grabbing. Maverick’s collar with one hand while clenching the other into a fist, ready to swing it at Maverick’s face.

“It was you who hurt her just a couple of days ago! What right do you have to still be hanging around her?”

Maverick remained still, not offering any explanation. His dark eyes showed no sign of weakness as he held his gaze firmly.

Sherman was furious. He was about to throw a punch until Gwendolyn shouted, “Quinton! Ryan!”

Quinton and Ryan immediately jumped in through the open window, separating the two people who were confronting each other.

Sherman didn’t land a hit and was quite frustrated. “Gwendolyn, why won’t you let me teach him a lesson?”

Gwendolyn gave Quinton and Ryan a meaningful glance. “Mr. Ferguson is drunk. Please take him home.”

“Understood.”

“I’m not drunk, really! Gwendolyn, I’m not drunk…” Sherman muttered under his breath and stumbled along, supported by two bodyguards on either side of him. His voice gradually faded into the distance.

At last, it was finally quiet. Maverick stopped pretending to have a stomachache, and his face returned to its usual calm expression.

Gwendolyn glanced at him sarcastically. “Why have you stopped pretending?”

Maverick pursed his lips, not uttering a word as he walked to where she was. He lowered both knees and knelt before her.

This time, he chose to kneel on his own.

Sherman had got down on one knee to express his love, whereas Maverick had got down on both knees to seek redemption.

Gwendolyn couldn’t understand his actions. “What are you doing?”

Maverick lifted his head to meet her gaze, and there was a glint of resolution in his eyes. “There’s something that has been bothering me for years, so can you tell me the truth tonight?”

“Let’s hear it.”

“Did you go to Saffron Street thirteen years ago on the fourteenth of March? Did you save a little boy?” Gwendolyn was just about to open her mouth to deny it when Maverick continued, “I won’t stop investigating if you keep brushing me off like before. I won’t rest until I get to the bottom of this!” Gwendolyn had never paid much attention to that matter. “Does my honesty really matter? Is it truly
