Chapter-90
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 90 Not Quite Satisfied It had been many years since Rory last saw Gwendolyn, so she was initially overjoyed.
However, her happiness was instantly replaced with anger when she heard Sheralynâs words.
âHow dare you insult my mentor and me? Are you asking for death?â Being a martial artist, Roryâs overpowering aura could be felt even through the screen when she was angry.
Sheralyn was immediately intimidated.
Rory continued, âHow dare you insult her by calling her an orphan?! Donât you know that she-â âRory!â Gwendolyn interrupted and shot Rory a frowning look.
Rory froze for a moment.
Although she was somewhat puzzled, she still stopped talking.
Gwendolyn then shifted her gaze back to Samantha, who was still shocked and unable to speak a word.
Originally, Samantha thought that Gwendolyn would be utterly defeated at the Mossey familyâs opening ceremony, but not only did Gwendolyn actually win against Sorest, but she also made quite at splash.
Gwendolyn was not a fake apprentice nor someone shadowing Rory.
Instead, she was actually Roryâs master.
Never in Samanthaâs wildest dreams did she imagine this to be the case.
Samantha was so infuriated that she felt like she was going to vomit blood.
With so many pairs of eyes staring at her from below the stage, she felt utterly embarrassed and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Unfortunately, she was too naïve.
Gwendolyn was someone who always made sure to settle scores, so there was no way she would let Samantha off the hook easily.
âSo, Ms. Lane.
Who got humiliated this time? You, or me?â Samantha gritted her teeth in anger, but she had to hold back since Roryâs video call was still on, and Treyton was also there.
Gwendolyn had powerful people backing her up.
Not daring to say anything too provocative, Samantha forced a smile and managed, âI offended because of my recklessness this time.
â you âIs that all?â Gwendolyn shook her head and chuckled lightly.
âYour apology is too perfunctory.
Iâin not quite satisfied, so.
â She paused for a moment, glancing at Treyton.
Treyton understood right away, while Elisha immediately left the venue.
A minute later, she returned with two strong bodyguards dressed in black suits, striding confidently toward Samantha, Samantha turned pale from the intimidating presence of the bodyguards.
She retreated frantically, exclaiming, âWhat do you want?â Without giving her a chance to explain, the bodyguards took action and restrained her wrists from behind.
Seeing the scene, Madelyn was worried that Gwendolyn would cause casualties and ruin the Mossey familyâs opening ceremony.
Just as she was about to step forward to contain the situation, Inez held her back.
The latter shook her head and whispered, âShe should know what sheâs doing.
â Madelyn had no choice but to step back.
The atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly turned lense.
Due to Treytonâs status, none of the guests sitting below the stage dared to step forward and intervene.
Moreover, it was true that Samantha almost falsely accused Gwendolyn this time.
If it werenât for the video call with Rory, Gwendolyn might have already been deemed guilty of shadowing the former and imitating her.
There wasnât anything wrong with Gwendolyn wanting to get back at Samantha; one could only say that Samantha brought it upon herself.
Samantha watched as Gwendolyn slowly approached her step by step.
The fierce aura emanating from the latter made Samantha shiver in fear.
She tried to muster her strength, her lips trembling as she said, âI am the future heir of the Lane family! If you dare lay a finger on me, the Lane family will never let you off!â Gwendolyn chuckled at that.
Her eyes crinkled, making her look harmless.
âAll right.
Iâll be waiting.
â The next second, Gwendolynâs smile disappeared.
A cruel look overtook her face, and she raised her hand and hit Samanthaâs face twice with great force.
The crisp slaps echoed throughout the entire venue.
Someone below let out a gasp.
Oh my, she really hit her in the face! What a ruthless woman! Immediately, Samanthaâs eyes welled up with tears.
The slaps were so painful that she was unable to utter a syllable for a moment.
Her fair cheek was now marked with bright red handprints, and traces of blood could be seen at the corner of her mouth.
She looked both pitiful and disheveled, nothing like her glorious self as the wealthy Lane familyâs daughter.
Samantha bit her lip and began weeping aggrievedly, but Gwendolyn clamped her chin and forcibly lifted her head up.
As Gwendolyn admired her own masterpiece, she clicked her tongue twice.
âIndeed, one doesnât know pain until one is slapped in the face.
Did you ever think this day would come every time me?â you framed Samantha was utterly mortified and furious.
Because of her swollen face, she was in too much pain to even speak.
In the end, it was Frida and Sheralyn who recklessly rushed onto the stage and rescued poor Samantha from the hands of the bodyguards.
Feeling too embarrassed to stay in the venue any longer, the two of them supported a dazed Samantha and left with their tails between their legs.
They didnât even dare to say any harsh words before leaving.
Instead, they glared at Gwendolyn viciously, wishing they could kill her with their looks.
Nevertheless, Gwendolyn was unbothered by this way of threatening.
Only the weak would rely on such methods to scare off their opponents.
Following the departure of Samantha and her two companions, the atmosphere in the venue remained gloomy.
When the guests learned that Gwendolyn was Roryâs mentor, they were only shocked.
But after they witnessed her giving Samantha a lesson in public, their shock turned into fear. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
In the end, it was Rory who warmed up the mood by enthusiastically congratulating the Mossey family on the opening ceremony through the video call.
Although there were some hiccups in the opening ceremony, the Mossey family ultimately received Roryâs blessings, which made the event a great success.
The altercation was, after all, a blessing in disguise.
Madelyn and Jerome couldnât stop smiling, and they treated Gwendolyn as if she were a deity.
As the couple warmly greeted the guests, the atmosphere in the latter half of the ceremony turned harmonious.
Gwendolyn wasnât too fond of these events where she had to constantly socialize, so she found an excuse to slip away to a quiet hallway.
After making sure no one was around, she took out her phone and dialed a number she hadnât called for a long time.
The calm and aged voice that answered the call sounded unusually excited.
âI completely lost contact with you ever since you left Rodunst.
Later, when the Harris family.
announced your death, I couldnât sleep for several nights.
Thankfully, youâre all rightâ¦â Gwendolyn smiled and responded, âThey say that a bad penny always turns up.
How could a bad penny like me die so easily?â Her self-deprecating humor amused Rory.
Putting on a serious expression, Gwendolyn continued, âThank you for today.
â âYou donât need to thank me.
Youâre technically half my master, anyway.
â When Gwendolyn was young, she was sent to a reclusive expert in Rodunst to study martial arts.
There, Rory was an apprentice senior to Gwendolyn Due to Gwendolynâs exceptional talent, she not only grasped the techniques quickly but was also clever enough to improve them.
When Rory lost to her in a match one time and begged her to impart the improved techniques, Gwendolyn had teasingly asked Rory to call her âmaster.
â This time, Rory figured out that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Gwendolyn, so she reacted quickly and cooperated with the latter to put on a show.
With their old memories brought up, both of them couldnât help but lament about the past.
Gwendolyn was contemplating whether she should ask how her other seniors were doing when suddenly, she heard the sound of wheels approaching from a distance.
She promptly hung up the phone and turned around.
At the end of the hallway, Inez was slowly approaching her in a wheelchair.
Gazing at Gwendolynâs stunning face intently, Inez began smilingly, âFrom the moment I woke up first laid eyes on you, I knew there was something extraordinary about you.
Your calm compose elegant demeanor donât seem to belong to a poor child who grew up in an orphanage.
â Gwendolyn pressed her lips together and looked at Inez without a word.
and and Inez went on, âIâve been spending time with Kieran these days, but heâs got such a cold personality.
The only two sentences heâs ever said to me were about you.
I think you must hold a very special place in his heart.
â Gwendolyn frowned almost imperceptibly.
âWhat do you want to ask?â âYouâre capable of making the two young masters of the Harris family from Salinsburgh willingly do everything for youâ¦â Inez paused for a moment, her eyes suddenly filled with suspicion.
âWho are you, really?â
