The Ex and Her Riches

It was Jasmine’s first time encountering such a shameless man, and she was shocked into silence.

Standing at the side, Gwendolyn felt like she was about to die from laughter.

Jasmine was too spoiled by her family, so she was used to having her way all the time. Unexpectedly, she faced her first-ever setback because of Maverick.

“Gwendolyn…” Jasmine looked at Gwendolyn with a pout, her eyes watery. Though she wanted to complain more, she was worried that her acting would be less convincing than Maverick’s.

Gwendolyn’s expression gradually turned serious as she met Jasmine’s eyes. “Jasmine, he’s right. He only listens to my orders. You’re staying at my place, eating here, and using my things. Now, you even want to hit my person? Aren’t you being too much?”

Jasmine froze.

“This is not the Newton residence. Although I consider you to be my little sister, I won’t coddle you without a bottom line.”

“Gwendolyn…”

“I’m going to Salinsburgh tomorrow, and you will go with me. I’ll book a plane ticket for you.”

“What? I’m leaving tomorrow already? I’ve only been here for less than three days! Gwendolyn…”

Gwendolyn ignored Jasmine’s efforts to act cute.

If she didn’t bring Jasmine back to the Newton residence, the latter would have to stay with Maverick on her own for two days at the seaside villa.

“You’ve been away from home for days, and it’s time to return.” Gwendolyn pushed Jasmine’s shoulder, a bit annoyed. “Go upstairs and change before you come back down. Who are you trying to seduce, walking around in a nightgown?”

Jasmine pouted and climbed the stairs reluctantly.

Once she was gone, Gwendolyn turned around to face Maverick.

He seemed to be in a good mood as his eyes twinkled with delight.

Shooting him a glare, Gwendolyn sneered, “How does she look in her nightgown? Gorgeous?”

Maverick raised his hands in submission and protested, “I’m innocent! I didn’t even notice what color she was wearing. Besides, you’re the sexiest woman in this world for me. I only like looking at you.”
