Chapter 112

The Drama Between Two Men

After saying his piece in front of Gwendolyn, Dexter let out a deep sigh, put his hands behind his back.
and walked out of the CEO’s office angrily without looking back.

As soon as he left Wright Construction Group, his worried expression transformed into laughter of joy.

Meanwhile, in the office, Gwendolyn turned on her heel and made her way over to Maverick. She saw
the swell around the corner of his mouth and à clear thumbprint on the left side of his face.

How dare Dexter beat up such an adorable face?

I’m going to get rid of that old fox sooner or later!

“Does it hurt?” Gwendolyn asked as she pinched his chin, examining his wound.

Without showing any sign of pain or anger, Maverick kept quiet with a serene expression on his face as
if he was not the one who had been slapped.

Gwendolyn’s anger grew as she saw Maverick’s indifferent expression, so she viciously pinched the
soft flesh on his left check.

Maverick scowled, grimacing in pain and attempting to dodge her grasp.

Finally, he is showing some kind of emotion. I thought he was immune to pain. Gwendolyn mused
inwardly.

“So

you do feel pain. Why didn’t you dodge when Dexter hit you earlier, then? Don’t tell me you were too
slow to react!” Gwendolyn questioned with a disapproving tone.



Gwendolyn wondered how many slaps Maverick could have handled before falling had she not come to
his defense.

Maverick pursed his lips and retorted, “Where were you on the day Grandpa died?”

As Gwendolyn locked gazes with him, she marveled at how dark his eyes were.

Does he believe Dexter’s words and suspect that I killed Declan?

“I was with Old Mr. Wright. I was the last person he saw before he died.” Gwendolyn answered
truthfully.

“What did he say to you?” Maverick continued asking.

Gwendolyn remained silent for a moment.

Before he passed away. Declan asked her to help maintain the Wright Construction Group. He also told
Gwendolyn that Maverick had a proud temperament, but was also a loyal man deep down. If Maverick
discovered Gwendolyn’s good qualities and fell in love with her, he would be willing to give her
everything. He made Gwendolyn promise to take care of Maverick and never divorce him.

However, she had failed to keep that promise. After trying to warm Maverick’s stone-cold heart for three
years, she no longer cared. Therefore, protecting Wright Construction Group was the only thing she
could do to honor her promise to Declan.

Maverick noticed that she was lost in her thoughts, and narrowed his eyes before asking again, “What
did he say exactly?”

Gwendolyn took a seat on the sofa once again, her eyes regaining their usual coldness.



“No comment,” Gwendolyn said indifferently.

Her tone was slightly taunting as she uttered those words.

A flash of anger flickered in Maverick’s eyes.

“What? Do you also think I was the one who killed Old Mr. Wright?” she continued with a smile.

Maverick paused for a moment, before answering seriously, “No, you wouldn’t.”

He wasn’t a fool. I guess he’s not completely dim-witted.

Her anger had subsided somewhat. Then, she looked up and saw Maverick standing there stiffly,
looking rather uncomfortable with the left side of his face swollen, which detracted from his previously
charming

appearance.

His temperament may be flawed and in need of guidance, but this pretty boy is still easy on the eyes. It
won’t be acceptable if he gets hurt.

Gwendolyn reached under the coffee table and retrieved a spare first-aid kit, before pushing it toward
Maverick. “You look terrible. There are ice cubes in the small fridge at that corner over there. Take
some and apply them to your face.”

“Alright,” Maverick replied.

Without any objection, Maverick fetched the ice from the small fridge in the corner, and sat down on the
sofa, skillfully applying the medicine.



Gwendolyn walked up to her desk and began working on her tasks.

The bodyguard and Yulia took the hint and exited the room, closing the door behind them.

The only sounds in the office were the clicking of the keyboard and the occasional sound Maverick
made while applying medicine to his wounds, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Neither of them was willing to break the silence, and the tense ambiance lasted for almost an hour and
a half until Yulia knocked on the door again.

“Ms. Shalders, Mr. Ferguson has arrived,” Yulia reported.

Why is Sherman here?

She considered it for a moment and said. “Let him in.

Maverick, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly scowled.

Mr. Ferguson? Which Mr. Ferguson is that? Is he another man she’s newly acquainted with?

Maverick stood up just as Sherman pushed the door open.

Even though they were quite far apart, they noticed each other’s presence right away.

Seeing each other as rivals, they were both instantly consumed by jealousy.

“Well, look who it is. The heir to the Ferguson family in Salinsburgh. My apologies for not recognizing
you sooner.” Maverick spoke first with a smirk.

Upon seeing him, Sherman felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Sherman had intended to dissuade Gwendolyn from signing the agreement with Maverick, and he did
not expect her to bring Maverick into the company so brazenly. After all, they were at Wright
Construction Group.

Sherman’s expression darkened as he approached Maverick. “Gwendolyn has divorced you, and the
one- unrealistic year agreement she signed with you is just for you to repay your debt. You must not
have any thoughts about her because of this. Don’t you agree, Mr. Wright?” Sherman whispered.

His expression was gentle, yet his tone was threatening.

Maverick paused when he heard Sherman mentioning the agreement. Does he know about the
agreement? It seems that he has a rather close relationship with Gwendolyn.

“I wonder what gives you the right to warn me, Mr. Ferguson?” Maverick asked sarcastically.

“She is single now, and I am pursuing her. I believe she will soon agree to be with me, so I am warning
you as her future boyfriend,” Sherman retorted.

“You are trying to show your dominance already, Mr. Ferguson, but it sounds like she has not even
agreed to be with you yet,” Maverick countered.

“What difference does it make? At least I have a chance, whereas you will never have one!” Sherman
said with a scowl.

Maverick was instantly rendered speechless.



Gwendolyn rubbed her temples as the two men in front of her traded insults and resentful glares. Once
again, her office had turned into a battlefield.

Here I thought only women cause drama. Why are these two guys causing drama as well?

The two men were still engaged in a heated debate in front of the couch.

“Even if you are unwilling to admit it, you cannot deny the fact that I was her former husband, and I was
closer to her than you ever were!” Maverick declared.

He enunciated the last four words slowly as he shot Sherman a pointed look.

“How many years have you known her? How well do you know her? I grew up with her since we were
kids, so I know her better than you do!” Sherman exclaimed in a loud, furious tone.

Maverick’s pupils contracted and his brows furrowed even tighter at Sherman’s words.

“That is enough!” Gwendolyn intervened as she could no longer stand their bickering. All she wanted
was for them to leave her office as soon as possible.

She turned her gaze at Sherman. “What brings you here today, Sherman?”

Sherman originally intended to persuade her to terminate the agreement with Maverick, but he knew
better than to mention that in front of Maverick.

In the end, he used work as an excuse. “It is about the film studio. I went to Angle to look for were not
there, so I came here when I found out that you are at Wright Construction Group”



Sherman had brought up a matter of work.

you. but you

Gwendolyn turned to Maverick. “You have not visited your mom and Sheralyn since yesterday
afternoon, have you? I will have the bodyguard take you to the Wright residence to visit them, and you
can calm them down so they stop causing trouble.”

Is she deliberately sending me away? Is she choosing Sherman over me?

Maverick was annoyed and refused, “No way!”

Gwendolyn did not care whether he was willing to leave and directly called for the bodyguards to come
in and take him away.

As they brushed by each other, Sherman fixed his gaze on Maverick’s left cheek, which was still
somewhat swollen, and grinned tauntingly, as though he had emerged as the winner of their
altercation.

Maverick left the office with a dark expression, took the elevator down, and was shoved into the car by
the bodyguards.

Nevertheless, his jealousy towards Sherman had dissipated and he was preoccupied with the last
words that Sherman had uttered.

Maverick could not help but recall the time when Treyton said something similar to intentionally agitate
him.



He did not think much of it at the time, and thought Treyton said it just to make him mad but looking
back, he could not help but feel that something was not right.
