The Ex and Her Riches

Gwendolyn did not bother talking to him at all. She wrapped the belt around his hands and quickly tied them tightly.

Maverick instinctively wanted to break free, but he had used all his strength to withstand the pain when Nico applied the medicine earlier.

In the end, he could only obediently surrender.

Gwendolyn acted swiftly, pinning him down onto the bed with ease. She raised his hands above his head and held them firmly against the bed with one hand.

Then, she stood by the bedside.

Maverick’s ears turned slightly red as he asked in a low, husky voice, “Gwendolyn, what are you doing?”

This posture feels a bit strange… I bet those two scoundrels haven’t left yet, and they’re still hanging outside the window. My dignity!

Outside the window, Nico and Swain were indeed still hanging around. Hearing the commotion, the two secretly peeked inside.

Wow!

Both of them did not expect to see their boss get pinned down on the bed. The latter was completely subdued and unable to break free.

Moreover, the said boss was lying beneath.

Awesome! This trip is totally worth it!

The two were engrossed in watching the show when Maverick’s dark eyes narrowed. He fiercely shot a sharp glare out the window.

Nico and Swain were instantly intimidated. They had no choice but to follow the command and climb along the window ledge to the nearby pipe. Then, they quietly slipped out through the back door.
