The Ex and Her Riches

Patrick seemed to sense the resentful gaze and glared back fiercely, “What are you looking at? Kneel properly! You are such a pain in the *ss! This is not over yet!”

When Gwendolyn heard what he said, she realized they didn’t plan on letting Joaquin off the hook so easily.

Gwendolyn thought momentarily and smiled, “Old Mr. Zipper, the main reason I came today is to bring Joaquin back to the film set. His shooting is almost finished, and it wouldn’t be good if something went wrong. I’ll take him to apologize to Joseph and ensure Joaquin knows his place.”

Patrick glanced at Gwendolyn, then at Joaquin, and nodded with satisfaction. “Alright, I trust you will take care of this.”

“Thank you for trusting me, Old Mr. Zipper. So, can I take Joaquin now?” she said while attempting to signal Joaquin with her eyes.

Joaquin clutched his swollen back and struggled to get up from the ground.

Adam became concerned when he saw Joaquin’s condition. “Old Mr. Zipper, why don’t we let Mr. Joaquin get treated before he leaves? It would be quite unbearable for him to continue with the shoot in this state.”

“Nonsense! Why should my Gwendolyn wait for him? He should just bear with the pain; only then will he learn his lesson. Not only must he continue filming, but he also cannot miss tonight’s charity gala. Do you hear me?”

“Understood.”

Joaquin pursed his lips, and his face looked somewhat weak.

Gwendolyn held back her laughter and looked toward Patrick. “Well, Old Mr. Zipper, I’ll be leaving with him now. We’ll come to see you again when we have time.”

After she spoke, she stepped forward to help Joaquin up, and they left the meeting room together, with Joaquin limping beside her.

Once they were far away from the meeting room, Joaquin asked, “Gwendolyn, you’re not seriously going to make me apologize to that scumbag at the hospital, are you? Please don’t do that!”

Gwendolyn pursed her lips and raised the corner of her mouth. “Then you have to tell me why you two got into a fight in the first place.”

Joaquin lowered his head looking all gloomy.

As his buttocks and thighs were hit terribly, Joaquin was walking with great difficulty and was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.

He hesitated for a moment and replied, “Because I heard him badmouthing you behind your back, and it was really nasty, so I beat him up every time I see him. Ouch…”

He got so worked up as he spoke that he accidentally aggravated his wound, causing him to grimace in pain.

Gwendolyn chuckled, suddenly found him a bit silly and even looked a little adorable.

“Since that was the reason, why didn’t you tell Old Mr. Zipper directly?”

Joaquin continued, “If Grandpa finds out, I might get a lighter punishment. However, once Grandpa and Adam heard those nasty things Joseph said about you, it won’t be long before the entire Zipper family’s servants know. I don’t want to ruin your reputation.”

When Gwendolyn heard that, her curiosity grew tremendously. What exactly did Joseph say about me?
