The Ex and Her Riches

Gerhardt cleared his throat before helping her analyze rationally in his deep voice. “Kylie, I suggest you take advantage of the current court recess and withdraw the lawsuit. The Harris family has already obtained conclusive evidence that Charles is an illegitimate child. Once that information is made public, it’ll only be detrimental to you, me, and the royal family. If the king finds out, he won’t approve of you putting Gwendolyn on trial.”

His words infuriated Kylie even more.

“Why should I? That b*tch Gwendolyn killed my son, so she should pay with her life. Do they think that threatening me with these old issues will make me cave in? Dream on! I must seek justice for Charlie. So what if I expose the royal scandal? Even if we all suffer, I will sue to the end!”

When Gerhardt realized he could not persuade her, his expression turned grim, and he stopped talking.

Jennifer had barely walked down the aisle after exiting the restroom when she was taken away by Craig’s men.

She was taken to the hotel next door and pushed into Craig’s room, causing her to stumble a few steps before she regained her balance.

Craig was sitting leisurely by the window, smoking a cigar.

The lingering smoke in the air failed to conceal the fury in his eyes.

“So, you agreed to return to the Newton residence so quickly to aid Gwendolyn in finding evidence.”

His chilly tone, accompanied by the mixture of tobacco scent in the room and the menacing aura emanating from him, was almost suffocating.

Jennifer took in a deep breath. While resisting his stifling aura, she steeled herself and nodded. “That’s right.”

Shatter!

A loud crash echoed across the room.
