It was much noisier than what had transpired in Natashaâs ward.
âMs. Shalders, have you seen the news this morning? What would you like to say in response to Ms.
Mossey?â âWas everything Ms. Mossey said true? Since she claims sheâs not a home wrecker, whatâs the reason for your divorce from Mr. Wright? I heard they gave nothing to you when you left.
Did you have an affair?â âAlso, is it true that youâre involved in Ms. Mosseyâs attack?â The reporters threw questions at her one after another, refusing to let go of such a golden opportunity to fish for crucial information.

âSince you want an answer, quieten down and let me speak.
â Upon hearing that, the reporters froze, but that did not last long as they started questioning her again.
âWhat exactly is your relationship with Mr. Wright?â a reporter inquired while pushing the microphone near her, fearing his question would be left unanswered.

âIâve clarified this on Twitter once, but Iâll say it again.
Weâre divorced and have nothing to do with each other.
â Even though she had sunglasses on, people could feel her sharp glare, which made them step back consciously.
âItâs rumored that Ms. Mosseyâs a mistress and destroyed your marriage with Mr. Wright.
After your divorce, you were forced to leave with zero assets.
Are these true?â âIâm sorry, but I have no comments about that.
â Gwendolyn shrugged before adding.
âAnything else? If thatâs all, then excuse me.
I have to go in.
Donât waste my precious time.

âLet the evidence prove whoâs messing with who.
I have an urgent matter to tend to.
Please excuse me.
â Hearing her sending them away, the reporters panicked as they tried to make her stay.
âYou canât end it just like that because you havenât even answered anything! Do you perhaps feel guilty?â The netizens also made noise, blocking the entrance of the company.
Some even took this opportunity to start attacking Gwendolyn.
Before Gwendolyn could answer, a deep and magnetizing voice sounded from behind her.
âYou canât slander people just because you can.
If you donât even have professional ethics, then quit your job right this instant.
â With a frown, Maverick walked toward the crowd slowly, glaring at them with disgust and coldness.
âItâs Mr. Wright! He has come to back her up!â someone exclaimed upon recognizing Maverick.
The crowd erupted once again, shocked at his sudden appearance.
They started speculating about his purpose for showing up.
âIâm still investigating Ms. Mosseyâs situation.
â Grabbing the microphone from Gwendolyn, he added concisely, âIâll release a statement in five days.
â The reporters who asked questions regarding this were so frightened by him that they dared not to breathe.
However, the commotion in the crowd did not subside.
Turning to Noah, Maverick asked the former icily, âWhat are you waiting for?â Catching on to the manâs meaning, Noah waved his hand.

Donât waste my time.
After all, time is gold.
I could be doing something that brings me money.
â Instantly, Maverickâs face darkened as he looked at the womanâs impatient expression.
âDo you behave.
like this with Treyton and Joaquin, too?â he questioned, not even realizing the jealousy lacing in his voice.
âPlease know your place.
Youâre an ex-husband.
â Gwendolyn stared at him coldly.
âWe have nothing to do with each other, so how I behave with other men is none of your concern.
Donât stick your nose where it doesnât belong.
Besides, do you really think youâre worthy enough to be compared to them? Also, your fiancée is still lying in the hospital bed.
Instead of being here questioning my behavior, you should go to her and shower your attention on her.
â âYouâve changed a lot,â Maverick commented.
He gazed into her eyes intently as if he was trying to study everything he did not understand about her.
Getting her bag, Gwendolyn got to her feet.
âIf all you want to do is say these pointless things, then Iâll take my leave.

âWhat are you doing?â âDonât worry.
I wonât do anything to you,â he said, letting out a small sigh.
âI just want to clarify something with you.
