The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 6 My Divorce Compensation

Hearing Gwendolyn's remark, Maverick frowned. When did I say that I wanted to abandon her? And why would she think so?

Bewilderment deluged him. Just as he was going to chase after her and talk things out, someone clutched at the hem of his suit pants from behind.

On the ground, Natasha lifted her face, looking all piteous.

Sobbing softly, she rationalized, “Mave... I'm sorry. I was just afraid... I was afraid that you would've really fallen in love with Gwendolyn in the three years I've been away. I was scared that you wouldn't want me anymore...”

With his brows still creased together, Maverick looked down at her. The instant he glimpsed her slightly swollen cheek, his gaze softened. Ultimately, he reached out and helped her up, his voice turning gentle.

“I've said that I'll give you a status. A divorce was merely a matter of time. This time, you were too impatient.”

Grasping his sleeve, Natasha pouted forlornly. “It was all my fault, but I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just used the wrong method. Mave... please forgive me!”

Upon receiving no further response from the man, she leaned against him weakly and tentatively bared an expanse of her fair shoulder.

Maverick's gaze darkened, and he almost instinctively pushed her away.

“Mave!”

The red tinge to Natasha's eyes deepened a shade, and she fixated her eyes on him resentfully.

Does he really harbor such great aversion toward me now? Argh! How unfair! Why is it that Gwendolyn bagged him last night, but I can't even draw close to him or test the waters?

The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 7 Will She Still Have a Job

The receptionist studied Gwendolyn again and ascertained that she didn't resemble a socialite. Instead, she appeared more like a scarlet woman who was there to garner benefits with her looks.

“How are you a client? Worse still, you asked to see the CEO right off the bat. Do you know that Angle's CEO has a net worth of hundreds of millions? He's someone a wench like you can never dream of bagging!”

Having been called a “wench,” Gwendolyn almost gave a bark of laughter in her towering fury.

Based on my net worth, I'm probably way above the CEO of Angle Corporation. What a snob!

Not in the mood to yak with such a wretched employee, she put on a stern expression. “Give your superior a call and say that I've arrived. If he refuses to see me, I'll bear the consequences.”

The receptionist wanted to continue snubbing Gwendolyn, but the latter's sharp gaze that carried a bone-deep chill petrified her so much that she swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.

“Remember what you said! All consequences will be on you!”

Snorting, the receptionist narrated the turn of events to her superior with much embellishment. Throughout it all, her gaze on Gwendolyn grew increasingly arrogant.

Truth be told, she couldn't wait to see the latter being thrown out by security.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.

Her smile gradually froze, and utter astonishment blanketed her features.

Judging from her expression, Gwendolyn could more or less guess what was being said on the phone.

The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 8 Kept Hidden Away for Years

An uproar erupted in the building.

Right as Jade, the receptionist, said in the group chat that she had just welcomed a woman who seemed like Treyton's lover, a talent director joined the company.

Hence, the people began wondering if the talent director was Treyton's lover.

What they did not know was that their company had changed ownership.

Nevertheless, Gwendolyn saw her visit as a secret visit.

First of all, she had never dabbled in the behind-the-scenes part of the entertainment industry, so she was not familiar with the processes involved. Thus, she needed Treyton to walk her through everything properly.

Secondly, she was not familiar with the employees of the company. Sneaking into their ranks and becoming their coworker would allow her to know what was going on as quickly and as in-depth as possible. She would then be able to weed out the bad ones later on.

Right as the people were whispering their speculations to each other, Jade, the receptionist working on the ground floor of Angle, was ogling Elisha Holtzer, the assistant.

Oh my gosh, Elisha is so handsome! Is he smiling at me?

Jade forced down the excitement blooming in her chest before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and flashing him a smile she assumed was pretty.

The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 9 Cuckolded

Upon hearing her name, Gwendolyn turned toward Natasha expressionlessly.

She had guessed that Maverick and Natasha would be at the event, but ever since Maverick asked for her apology back at the mansion, Gwendolyn had already given up on him.

Now, to her, Maverick was no one but a man who meant little to her—he was just her ex-husband.

A polite smile then grew on Gwendolyn's lips before she hooked her arm around Treyton's and walked over to greet Natasha.

At that, Natasha subconsciously turned to look at Maverick.

Maverick's gaze was fixed on Gwendolyn as well. It seemed like he was bewildered, too, but the look in his eyes was a dark one.

He did feel a little guilty about what happened in the day.

However, he was in disbelief at how she had a complete makeover and was with another man a few hours after the incident.

Still, he had to admit that the Gwendolyn of that moment was ravishing to the point his heart was skipping beats.

He never knew that his wife could be that gorgeous in their three years of marriage.

Could it be that Treyton's her new man? We just divorced this morning, but she already has another man by her side? What the h*ll is with that speed?

Maverick was confounded, and the look he had in his dark eyes only turned colder. It was a precursor to his eventual angry outburst.

Therefore, he kept glaring at Gwendolyn as she walked over to him with Treyton, waiting for her to give him a good explanation.

Yet, right as they were about to reach him, they turned and started exchanging pleasantries with the CEO of Wundor.

In other words, they were paying him no mind at all.

The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 10 Toyed by A Woman

“That is correct. It's because you speak foul words.” Gwendolyn nonchalantly rubbed her palm before mockingly continuing, “It looks like the Wright family doesn't educate their children well. The daughter of the Wrights only knows how to speak disgusting nonsense. Also, so what if I was married? Are there any rules stating that those who were married are banned from attending the event? Are you telling me that your brother never married before? You were trying to ruin my reputation with what you just said, and I can sue you for that.”

“You—”

Sheralyn was livid. She had just been slapped and insulted in public; both she and her family had just been shamed.

Most importantly, the one who hit her was Gwendolyn, the woman who she could bully without suffering any consequences in the past.

It was utterly humiliating.

“B*tch, I'm going to kill you!”

With that, Sheralyn dashed over, baring her teeth as she reached out to grab Gwendolyn's hair.

At that, Treyton quickly pulled Gwendolyn into his arms and spun her around.

At the same time, Maverick rushed toward them.

With a frown on his face, he stared at Sheralyn and questioned, “How long do you plan to keep up with this foolish act? Apologize now.”

“Maverick, I'm your sister! This b*tch just hit me, yet not only are you not going to teach her a lesson for that, but you're even siding with her and asking me to apologize?”

By then, Maverick looked positively furious. He warned, “I have eyes; I know who's in the wrong and who's not. I will only say this one last time: Apologize now.”

Sheralyn deflated.

But she still felt that there was nothing wrong with her cursing at Gwendolyn. She just wanted everyone to find out Gwendolyn's true nature.

The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 11 Not Worthy Enough

Gwendolyn was listening to the music and enjoying the chocolate mousse made by a Ferropenian chef who held seven Michelin stars.

All of a sudden, a man's large hand appeared in her line of sight.

“Miss, may I know if I can have the honor to invite you to a dance?”

Gwendolyn raised her head, and when she was greeted by Maverick's permanently-icy face, she lost her appetite.

Their eyes met.

Maverick's heart skipped a beat. It was his first time studying Gwendolyn's face in such close proximity. He finally realized how the features on her brilliant face were all in the perfect positions and in perfect sizes.

He never knew how beautiful his ex-wife was.

Her eyes, especially. It was as if stars had been placed in them. It made her look lively and strong with a hint of stubbornness.

Maverick found himself lost in her eyes.

Furthermore, it felt as if he had seen those eyes somewhere else before.

While he was lost in his thoughts, Gwendolyn smiled tauntingly as disdain crept into her eyes. “Sorry, Mr. Wright. You're not worthy enough to dance with me.”

The people who passed by the table were taken aback by Gwendolyn's response.

She's too arrogant! Did she just say that the top man in Fairlake isn't... worthy enough for her?

Maverick narrowed his eyes almost immediately, and the thoughts of the sense of familiarity were cast aside.

Nevertheless, he continued to reach out for her and replied with a smile that did not reach his eyes, “It's just a dance. You can't possibly be afraid, can you, Ms. Shalders?”

The Ex and Her Riches Chapter 12 Leaving Fairlake

In the garden, Gwendolyn was standing next to the fountain and getting some fresh air with her arms folded. If I didn't come out for some fresh air, I might have actually suffocated from the disgusting atmosphere inside.

“Gwendolyn!” Suddenly, a piercing voice rang out from behind her.

Gwendolyn then turned around to see Sheralyn walking toward her haughtily.

“What's up? Are you looking for more slaps? Wasn't the one before painful enough?” Gwendolyn taunted while looking away indifferently.

Sheralyn was infuriated by those words, and she wanted nothing more than to tear Gwendolyn apart. Nevertheless, for the sake of her plan, she had to clench her fists and endure it.

Sheralyn then whipped out a bank card from her Louis Vuitton bag and handed it to Gwendolyn. In a sympathetic tone, she said, “There's three hundred thousand in here. As long as you can promise not to appear in front of my brother again and leave Fairlake for good, the money is all yours.”

Gwendolyn furrowed her brows and glanced at the bank card in Sheralyn's hand with an odd look. Three hundred thousand? That's peanuts! Does she seriously think that's enough to send me away?

Sheralyn noticed the change in Gwendolyn's expression, so she thought the latter was tempted. Overjoyed, Sheralyn said, “Since you were raised in an orphanage, I think it's safe to say you've never seen that much money in your life. Unlike you, I usually spend that much within a week. I think you need the money more than I do. I remember you asking for money from my mom back then, but she didn't lend it to you. Isn't this great news for you? With the money available on the card, you'll be able to buy anything you want. Well? Do you want it or not?”

Chapter 1 Can You Stay

On this day, the Nixon and Marshall families had planned to unite in matrimony.  The ambiance was brimming with excitement.  The spacious banquet hall were decked out in rich, dreamy decor.

The wedding officiant called for the groom to step onto the stage.  "Presenting to you our handsome groom, Mr. Anthony Nixon!"

Barely had the officiant's words resonated through the hall when the attendees erupted in deafening cheers.

Yet, after a few moments of waiting following the introduction, there was no sign of the groom on stage.

Guests started to murmur amongst themselves.  Maintaining a cool demeanor, the officiant brushed it off as a minor hiccup.  However, as the moments of silence stretched, even he realized something was off.  His silence added to the sudden quiet in the hall.

Suddenly, a resounding smack echoed from backstage.  Those close to the stage could see the scene unfold.

Anthony, the groom, had just been struck by his own mother.  He ripped the boutonniere from his tuxedo jacket and stormed off.

Meanwhile, the bride-to-be, Claudia Marshall was backstage with her father, Jace Marshall, waiting for their cue to enter the spotlight.

Chapter 1 The Rumor

In the mourning hall, the air was heavy with grief.  Heidy Hua stood quietly at the side, her eyes red with tears as she stared at the man in the coffin.  There were many people who came to mourn, all of them bowing to pay their respects.

"I'm sorry for your loss," they would all say as they came up to her.

"Thank you," she would reply, her hands gracefully folded in front of her as she bowed back to them.

As she looked at her father lying down on the coffin, Heidy wished with all her might that he was just playing a prank on her, that he was just asleep and that he would soon open his eyes to tell her that he was still alive.  However, it seemed more like a nightmare from which she couldn't be able to wake up from.  The more she thought about it, the more pain she felt in her heart.  But she had to endure it.  She couldn't let herself break down.

The ceremony was still going on, and more and more people came to mourn.  After having a word with the steward, Heidy went off and walked towards the villa in the backyard.  It had been over twenty four hours since she had had some decent sleep.  With her head throbbing, Heidy just wanted to have a few minutes of rest.

“Welcome to adulthood!”  Dina was practically screaming to make herself audible to her friends amidst the loud beat of the music in the bar they were in.

“Yeah!  Let’s rock the world!”  Marlyn, or Marlon, the gay in the group, raised his mug of beer for a toast that everyone clinked mugs with.

“I am going to get drunk and get laid tonight,” Lexy, the only virgin in the group, daringly proclaimed.

“Ohhhh hohohoh, I am looking forward to that, baby,” Jake, the playboy in the class, quickly responded.

“You don’t have to bother because I am not going to pick such a clueless boy like you”, Lexy turned him down right away.  Rudely to be taken, but Jake didn’t mind.  He is used to her sassy attitude.  That is one thing about Lexy, she doesn’t flirt, not to him or not to anyone he has seen her do so.  She is not the kind of girl that gets swept on her feet when a guy approaches her with silly punch lines or something Jake is so talented to hook with girls.  But she isn’t annoying either, she is just honest, confident, and Jake respects that in her.

Chapter 1 One Night Of Shame

In a dim pub filled with the smoke of burning cigarettes, people were ecstatically raising toasts to one another.  At one corner, however, a woman could be seen downing a shot of whiskey before filling it up again and raising her glass.  Tears were in her eyes.

"Consuela, you're drunk."

Upon seeing that Consuela Xia was working towards getting herself dead drunk, Sheryl Xia immediately snatched her glass away from her.

What nobody noticed was how she discretely slipped a sinister looking pill into the said glass.

"Why are you here?"  Consuela Xia asked as she giggled like a little school girl.  Her liveliness, however, severely contrasted with the lifelessness behind her eyes.

"Look at yourself.  How could a woman let herself get this dunk?!  Our parents will definitely get mad at you if you go home like this!"  Sheryl Xia nagged, convincingly feigning anger.

"If that's the case, then I guess I'm not going home!"  Consuela Xia answered, her tone firm and dismissive.  She was "dancing"—swaying carelessly from left to right—making it clear that she had already taken in too much alcohol.

Chapter 1 Reckoning Shadow's

Anastasia, help!  I’ve been molested at the club!”

The desperate and helpless sound of her best friend’s voice was the only thing on Anastasia Tillman’s mind as she rushed over to the clubhouse.

Room 808.  Anastasia looked up at the number plaque on the door of the private room.  It was the same room number that her best friend, Hayley Seymour, had texted her.  Without another thought, she barged through the door to save her friend.

When the door swung open under her hand, she was greeted by the darkness within.  Suddenly, a strong hand clasped around her wrist and dragged her into the dark room, followed by a loud thud as the door slammed shut.

“Hey—who are you, and what do you want?!”  Anastasia shrieked, her eyes darting around wildly as she tried to make out her surroundings.

“Settle down, and I’ll treat you well.”  A man’s deep and husky voice spoke close to her ear.

The next second, Anastasia was unceremoniously tossed onto the couch, and before she could scramble to her feet, a lean and strong body pinned her down.

She let out a muffled cry when a pair of lips that tasted like peppermint captured hers.

Chapter 1 How Long Have You Been Doing This

It was Friday evening, eight o'clock.

A banquet was being held in the Four Seasons Garden Hotel.  Not only was it filled with luxurious vibes, but the happy atmosphere was also held up as different people toasted and chatted happily about the event.

Nina Lu glanced up at the signage with a frown.  "It must be this one."

However, she couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows in confusion.  It wasn't easy to enter such a place without an invitation.  What was she going to say?  As Nina Lu was worrying, a slim figure floated right in front of her.  It was Isabella Zhang, Nina Lu's friend at school.

"Isabella,"  she greeted, waving at her.  As if snapped out of the trance, Isabella Zhang turned around, blinking in surprise when she saw who it was.  "Why are you here?"

She moved closer, frowning when she didn't smell the Pheromone Perfume, the perfume that she had given Nina Lu.  "Why didn't you use the perfume?"

"I have something urgent that I need to get to.  That's why I didn't use it."  Truth be told, Nina Lu wasn't used to wearing any kind of perfume for that matter.  She peered at the crowd.  "By the way, could you take me in?"

The medicine mixed into the alcohol she drank was already taking effect.  Her cheeks flushed.

'I'll be the only one Adam loves.  I'll take everything from you, Cassie.  Just wait and see.'

With her bag pulling her back down to a slouch, Cassie Bo blinked drowsily.  "Alice, how long will it take for us to get there already?  I feel terrible," she whined exhaustedly.  Her arms were already lying limp on her sides.

With white walls and black tiles, it seemed that this house was quite old.  There was a rich black off– road vehicle parked outside the three–story building in the countryside.

Outside the small and empty building, it was now surrounded by villagers come for fun.

“Is Nikita, the problematic girl, leaving our Syracuse Village?”

“It should be, I heard that her own parents came to her and wanted to pick her up to live in the city.”

“Well, she should have gone long ago.  Whoever live with this scourge will get unlucky and regret it sooner or later!”

A group of people gathered and whispered.

Someone shouted: “Nikita’s coming.”

The group of people who were talking suddenly paused, looked up, and saw a thin white figure slowly coming out of the dark shadow from inside the house.

“The scourge is coming out, run!”

As if seeing something terrible, the crowded villagers are suddenly dispersed.

While running, they looked back, as if they’re afraid that the girl would catch them up.

It’s hot outside, and Damon had been waiting for a long time.  He’s impatient and wanted to go into the house.  He heard the villagers shout “scourge” or something, and then they all ran away with fear.

Chapter 1 A Handsome Stranger

Nicole Morgan woke up in an unfamiliar bed completely bare, she was puzzled.

When she moved a bit, there beside was a warm and robust...  man's body?!!

Nicole immediately covered her mouth that she didn't scream right away.  Some vague memories flooded into her mind...

***

Last night, in dizzying, she was held by her bestie Fiona into a hotel room.

"Get in there you bitch! "  Fiona threw her heavily on the bed and firmly closed the door of the dimly lit room.

"Who are you?  How can you into here?"  That was a low, magnetic male voice.

Nicole, whose consciousness gradually got confused, couldn't identify the voice.

Nicole only felt hot and there was fire arousing from her heart.  This feeling of exhilaration was weird and strange, wile this sexy male voice seemed to be inviting her.  She lost her last ounce of control and wrapped her arms around the man's neck and pressed her soft lips to him and passionately kissed him.
