The Ex and Her Riches

The two men quickly got to work, efficiently and without fuss. Their speeds were at par as their hands moved in a flurry of rapid movements.

Gwendolyn knew nothing about assembling guns, so it left her feeling dizzy and confused.

However, her gaze remained fixed on Maverick.

He was too calm. Even though he claimed to have only tried guns a few times, his skillful movements were clearly muscle memory.

Moreover, he was able to assemble a gun without falling behind Charles in the slightest. It was impossible to achieve this without years of handling firearms.

As Gwendolyn stared at Maverick intently, her expression grew increasingly serious.

Across from her, Charles keenly sensed that her focus had been on Maverick the entire time. She did not even spare a second to look at him.

When Charles reached the final step, he deliberately paused for half a second.

In that split second, Maverick finished assembling the gun. He coldly raised it, aiming at Charles’ forehead with murderous eyes.

His well-defined hand was poised to pull the trigger.

Gwendolyn noticed Maverick’s actions and almost instantly exclaimed, “Maverick, no!”

Maverick was taken aback. His dark eyes quivered uncontrollably, but he did not move.

“Put it down. That’s an order!”

Across him, Charles’ eyes were filled with provocation.

Maverick bit his lower lip hard, his heart trembling from the order yelled at him. At that moment, his entire body felt painful as if thousands of needles were pricking it.

After struggling for two seconds, he finally put down the gun with a pale and dispirited face.

On the contrary, Charles laughed heartily. “Congratulations. You won the game but lost her. I told you. You’re just a pet that has to obey its master. Now, it’s time for you to quit.”

Maverick looked down. His dark eyes were empty and lifeless, and even his hands and feet felt ice cold.

Meanwhile, Charles turned his gaze back to Gwendolyn. With a delighted tone, he said, “Gwen, I knew it. Even though you refuse to accept me verbally, you do care about me deep down. From now on, let’s be good to each other and stop all the arguments. All right?”

Gwendolyn glanced at Maverick, then at the last part that Charles never managed to assemble.

In an instant, it occurred to her that Charles had just employed a little trick.

“You’re wrong. I just didn’t want to see blood. If you had loaded the gun first, I would have
