Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Stand Up For Her 

15 Bonus 

Gwendolyn had been feeling troubled and upset these past few days, and now Sylvia only added to her problems. 

Sylvia was dragged out while she was crying. 

The room finally quieted down. Gwendolyn sat beside Jennifer’s bed, carefully peeling an apple for her. 

Jennifer stared at her intently and smiled with relief. “It’s been so many years since we last met, and you’ve changed so much. You’re very determined in handling things now. I really like that.” 

“You can actually do it too.” 

Jennifer’s eyes darkened. “No. I’m not the same. I’m different from all the other trainees here. Behind them are either companies or wealthy families, but I only have myself.” 

Gwendolyn put down the apple and held her hand. “You managed to stand out from a hundred trainees all by yourself and made it to the finals step by step. Don’t you think you’re amazing?” 

“But I’m only ranked fifteenth. I can’t debut. Sylvia told me that the debut slots have already been filled by major companies through under-the-table deals. I don’t stand a chance.” 

Gwendolyn burst into laughter. 

That was her company, and she organized the event. She had specifically instructed her staff not to accept any bribes or reserve spots. No one would know better than her. 

Jennifer was not bad-looking. Although she was not bedazzling at first glance, she was always pleasing to the eyes. 

She was a lovely and innocent girl. 

With such a look and talent, Jennifer had the potential to go a long way in the entertainment industry. 

Regardless of whether it was for the sake of friendship or the company’s interests, she decided to support Jennifer wholeheartedly. 

“Don’t worry. There will never be any predetermined outcomes in my show. As long as you work hard, you’ll have a chance. Moreover, even if you don’t successfully debut this time, I’ll make sure you sign with Angle Corporation as an S-level artist.” 

Jennifer’s eyes glistened with tears. 

She bit her lip in disbelief and held her tears from rolling down her cheeks. 

Gwendolyn gently patted her head. “This time, go all out and strive toward your goal with everything you’ve got.” 

“Thank you, Gwendolyn… Even though you never told me who you are, I know you’re an amazing woman.” Jennifer hugged her, feeling touched. 

“If any trainees bully you in the future, confront them directly! The more you show weakness, the more they’ll take advantage of you. Only when you stand up for yourself will they fear you. Don’t be afraid. I’ll have your back from now on!”

Chapter 118 Stand Up For Her 

Jennifer hugged her tightly, feeling her heart grow stronger. 

After Gwendolyn left that night, Jennifer was cornered in the restroom by Yvette and her two lackeys as soon as she stepped out of the medical room. 

Since it was the Thanksgiving holiday, there were no cameras filming at the base, and it was even more unlikely for there to be surveillance in a place like a restroom. 

Upon learning that Sylvia had been inexplicably disqualified, Yvette hurried back to the base, intending to teach Jennifer a lesson and make sure she wouldn’t dare to tattle again. 

Jennifer was forced into a corner, shivering with fear. Suddenly, Gwendolyn’s words from earlier in the day flashed through her mind. 

She gritted her teeth, picked up the dirty mop from the corner, and waved it threateningly at the three people. 

“Listen well, Yvette. I used to give in to you in the past, but from now on, don’t even think about laying a finger on me!” 

“Okay! Let’s play a game, then. We’ll see if you can beat the three of us all at once!” 

The four ladies quickly got into a fight, with continuous shrieks filling the chaotic restroom. 

Gwendolyn found out about it the next morning. 

Yvette, with a bruised and swollen face, had been severely beaten. She threatened to hire a lawyer and sue Jennifer for causing her physical injury. 

Joanne, who was at the side, said, “Three against one and she still couldn’t win, yet she has the nerve to play the victim.” 

Gwendolyn laughed. “I’ll leave this matter to you. Whether Yvette wants to hire a lawyer or use any other tricks, we’ll deal with her by giving Jennifer full support.” 

“No problem, Ms. Shalders!” 

Gwendolyn had been busy with work for a few days while someone hadn’t been idle either. 

Gwendolyn hadn’t returned to Bay Villa for three consecutive days. 

Maverick couldn’t figure out what was bothering him, but he felt really annoyed. 

As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Gwendolyn and Treyton being alone together would appear before him. 

Whenever he thought of that scene, it would make him feel uncomfortable all over as if something was just not right. 

He could not wrap his head around it. 

He used to think that he liked Natasha, but later, he realized that his feelings for her were merely a man’ sense of responsibility and brotherly care for a younger sister. 

Gwendolyn, however, was different. She could always evoke a myriad of emotions in him like anger, surprise, heartache, and guilt.

It seemed that she was a special existence in his heart. 

Although his mind was in turmoil, he hadn’t been idle these past few days.

He had pretended to leave the house to lure the hidden bodyguards out to stop him. Besides, he had managed to find the hiding spots of the two bodyguards left at the villa and figured out their routines. If Gwendolyn did not return tonight, it would be a great opportunity to meet Nico. 

He sat on the couch, deep in thought, Suddenly, the large door connecting the living room to the garden swung open. 

Thinking that Gwendolyn had returned, Maverick got up, intending to greet her. 

To his surprise, it wasn’t Gwendolyn who entered but Elven. 

Elven walked in with three men as tall as him following closely behind him. They entered with an imposing presence, staring at Maverick with hostile looks. 

Maverick felt a hint of danger. He looked at Elven and asked calmly. “What do you want?” 

As soon as he finished speaking, the three menacing men behind Elven suddenly approached him. 

Two of them walked up behind him and restrained his shoulders.

Another man walked up to him and raise his hand viciously, ready to slap his cheek that had just recovered a couple of days ago. 

Elven quickly intervened, “Mr. Harris said not to hit his face! With his current frail body, how many blow can he withstand? Don’t hurt his face and disfigure him.” 

Mr. Harris? 

Maverick narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, “I wonder what I have done that offended Mr. Harris. Did he tell you to whack me?” 

Elven mimicked Treyton’s cold tone and said, “You may not have offended Mr. Harris, but you hurt Ms. Shalders. Mr. Harris will definitely want you to be punished!”
