The Ex and Her Riches

After she finished speaking, she swiftly pushed open the wooden door, revealing several bodyguards holding sharp machetes. They rushed in and blocked the entrance while exuding murderous intent.

Upon seeing that, Natasha quickly got up and went past Maverick to hide behind the group of bodyguards. In an accusing tone, she said, “Mave, that woman has totally bewitched you! I truly love you, but you insist on choosing her over me. It breaks my heart so much. Don’t worry. After you die, I’ll do my best to torment her to death to avenge you.”

Her eyes reddened, and her heart was simmering with anger and resentment.

Nico immediately stood in front of Maverick, assuming a defensive stance.

Now that the tables had turned, Samantha felt smug.

“I heard she injected Maverick with a special drug before, which made him physically weak and unable to fight. If that’s true, your little sidekick not only has to take on ten men barehanded but also has to protect you. Don’t you think that’s too much for him to handle?”

Samantha was right.

Maverick’s current physical condition was so weak that he couldn’t even fight a single person, let alone ten.

He reckoned he would only hold Nico back if a fight broke out.

The atmosphere in the cabin became subtly darker. One could turn the table anytime.

“Tsk!”

Nico glared at her in displeasure. “It’s none of your business whether I can handle it. So what if there are ten of them? I could take on twenty more!”

Samantha didn’t even bother to look at him. Instead, she stared at Maverick behind him, continuing to entice him.

“It seems that the news was true. She’s been so cruel to you. What is it about a woman like her that is worth your protection, Maverick? You are my family, and I would never treat you like this. I can’t bear to see you die here today, so why don’t you join us and help us get rid of her?”

At the thought of Gwendolyn’s delicate face, Maverick subconsciously curled his lips slightly.

“You’re right. Not only is she cruel, but she’s also very cunning. She’s only gentle and adorable when she’s with Treyton and the rest, while all her anger and cruelty are directed at me. Nevertheless, I’m willing to accept that. You can’t compare to her at all.”

His remark infuriated Samantha. “Fine. Then don’t think of leaving this place alive today!”

The bodyguards behind her stepped forward aggressively.

Maverick, whose gaze was cold, narrowed his eyes. Even at such a critical moment, his deep black eyes showed no trace of panic.

He gazed intently at Samantha, his lips curving into a sly smile. “Don’t tell me you really think I came here without making any preparations of my own?”

Nico placed his hand over his mouth and let out a loud chirping sound like a bird.

A few seconds later, the wooden windows were violently smashed open.

The loud noise startled Samantha and Natasha.
