The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 158

It was an order.

There was no room for negotiation or discussion.

Maverick, who was incredibly torn, held his breath while taking the document with shaking hands.

The man’s dark eyes were cold and ruthless as he once again tore the document to shreds without hesitation.

Yet, the man across from her showed no signs of backing down. Maverick’s deep, dark pupils were incredibly gloomy as their eyes met.

Skillfully, he slid his well-defined hand to his waist and unbuckled his belt, motioning to pull it out.
