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.

As Gwendolyn turned around to reach for the pen on the coffee table, she heard a ripping sound behind her.

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

This time, he even threw the torn document directly above her head, acting utterly outrageous.

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