The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 183

His heart ached intensely. The suffocation he felt in his chest made it almost impossible for him to catch his breath.

What should I do to win her back?

Gwendolyn turned her head, picked up a footstool next to the small couch in the room, and sat down facing him with a look of seriousness on her face.

“I’m giving you the antidote not because I’m trying to force you to terminate the agreement, but because I’ve noticed that you’ve been in constant pain lately. Due to the effects of the 023 special drug, your pain will only get more intense. Since you saved me this time, I want to help you relieve the severe pain as a way to repay you.”

Maverick stared at her intently. He did not respond.

Gwendolyn continued to explain, “About the employment agreement… Since we have already settled it last time and I still have your recorded promise, I won’t bring it up again.”

Does this mean she no longer has her initial guard up against me? Does this mean that everything I’ve done recently has brought me one step closer to her?

“Aren’t you afraid that after giving me the antidote, you won’t be able to beat me in a fight and I’ll bully and hurt you?”

Gwendolyn’s red lips curved into a seductive smile.

“Will you do that?”

Maverick’s pale, thin lips curved slightly as he gave a decisive answer. “I won’t.”

Gwendolyn suddenly narrowed her eyes, a mischievous smirk appearing at the corner of her mouth. “Aren’t you afraid that what I give you isn’t the antidote for 023, but an even stronger and more torturous drug?”

“You won’t do that.”

Even if she were truly that ruthless, as long as it was her request, he would not hesitate to inject the drug.

“Yes, I won’t. So, this is the real antidote, and it’s in your hands now. Go ahead and inject it,” Gwendolyn said in a casual tone.

Now?

Maverick glanced down at the box in his hand.

At that moment, he was almost pushing himself to the limit, feeling incredibly weak all over.

If he proceeded with the injection then, Gwendolyn, with her keen perception, would definitely notice that something was off with his body.
