The Ex and Her Riches

“You…”

Did they just sell me out?

Dexter was quite frustrated.

However, this matter indeed had nothing to do with Cecelia and Carol, so he could understand their refusal to take the drugs with him.

Regardless, if he had to choose three bottles a day, what if he had bad luck and all three turned out to be the sleeping drugs? Would he survive that?

In case he ended up choosing both the sleeping drug and the laxative, wouldn’t he be tormented to death from both ends?

No way! I have to drag someone down with me, even if I die!

He clenched his teeth in anger, glaring at Maverick. “You little brat! You’re helping an outsider set up your own uncle! Have you forgotten that your mother is involved in this too? If I’m found guilty, she should be punished as well! If I’m going to be tormented by all this, she shouldn’t be faring any better!”

Maverick’s expression remained indifferent. “She made a mistake, so of course she should be punished. I won’t show favoritism. Besides, I’ve already taken the punishment Gwendolyn gave to her on her behalf.”

That drug had almost sent him to hell.

He would never forget the heart-wrenching pain in his lifetime.

In other words, he was expressing how he would uphold justice even at the expense of his own family, and he had even been punished on behalf of his mother. That way, Dexter had nothing else he could say.

Dexter was unwilling to accept the situation, but when he looked at the four bodyguards Gwendolyn had brought with her, he realized that none of them would be easy to deal with. Even if he counted heads, his side was still outnumbered.

Since there was no other way, Dexter said with a sigh, “My ex-niece-in-law—Wait, no. Ms. Shalders, could you please give me a discount? Please take into account my old age. I can’t withstand this kind of torment.”

Gwendolyn smiled joyfully. “Mr. Wright, since you’ve asked for it, of course, it’s possible.”

Before Dexter could even feel happy, he heard her continue, “But you’ll have to exchange it for the Wright Construction Group shares you hold. One percent of Wright Construction Group shares can save you from two bottles.”

In other words, he wouldn’t need to drink a single bottle if he gave up all his shares.

Cecelia and Carol both thought this was a good idea.

“Hubby, now that the stock market for Wright Construction Group has plummeted and the shares are hardly worth anything, why not use them to waive off the drugs? That way, you don’t have to suffer.”

“That’s a woman’s perspective!” Dexter rejected her idea right away.

It was obvious that Gwendolyn had come today with her sights set on his shares!
