The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 193
Gwendolyn did not hide her intentions. “Yes, if I didn’t do it this way, how could I have caught you?”
Charles laughed with a hint of melancholy at the edge of his lips.
“When did you start being cautious of me?”
“From the moment you pulled out the revolver and asked me to choose between shooting Maverick and Natasha, I knew something was off with you.”
Does she actually start suspecting me since that time?
Charles looked at her, somewhat in disbelief.
She showed no emotion as she continued, “It wasn’t until the last time you were about to leave Fairlake that I accidentally saw the person in black in the Realm Bar corridor. Coupled with the acid attack that day, I began to suspect that you had some connection with the person who harmed me from the Harris family.”
Charles gave a wry smile and responded, “So that’s how it is.”
“Charles, you truly are the only person I’ve admired since childhood, but why do you want to hurt me too?”
He shook his head, still denying it. “I didn’t. When the Harris family announced your death, you had no idea how heartbroken I was. It was only half a month ago that I found out you were still alive. Only by pretending to cooperate could I come to Fairlake to see you. If you still love me, I’ll fight against them for you till the end, but… there’s an annoying dog by your side now! That day at the bar, I was standing on the second floor. I didn’t intend to take action until Maverick came in. I knew he would protect you, so that’s when I took action. It wasn’t about targeting you; how could I ever bear to see you hurt?”
He spoke without pause, with his eyes gazing deeply and affectionately at Gwendolyn. Despite the bruises on his face, they could not conceal his stunningly handsome features.
However, Gwendolyn had no time to appreciate his handsomeness, so she scoffed.
“Don’t you find it ridiculous to say that? If he hadn’t shielded me, I would be the one injured right now. How can you say it wasn’t aimed at me?”
Her gaze grew colder and colder, not wanting to waste time spouting nonsense. “Stop hiding it. I just want to know who from the Harris family is responsible for harming me. As long as you tell me, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Charles lowered his gaze, a touch of sadness gracing the corner of his lips.
“You might let me go, but he won’t.”
He?
Gwendolyn frowned. “Who are you talking about?”
Charles looked up at her with sorrow in his eyes and said, “Gwen, your little pet is not a good person. He has been deceiving you with his acting skills all along. He has more secrets than I do. You must not fall for his tricks!”
“I’ve always known he has secrets. I just never bothered to dig deeper,” Gwendolyn responded nonchalantly.
