Chapter 15 Elegant
Gosh! That’s some shocking news! According to the rumors, Maverick had a wife of three years that no one knew about. Who would’ve known that the woman would turn out to be Treyton’s partner tonight? Judging by the conversation they had and the fact that Gwendolyn had thrown a glance at Natasha, it seems there is more to it!
Right then, the crowd started looking at Natasha differently.
Upon seeing what was happening. Natasha panicked. Who would’ve knoren that I would shoot myself in the foot! Now, everyone’s going to wonder if I was a mistress!
Noah, Maverick’s assistant, immediately stepped forward to clean up the mess by explaining, “Please don’t misunderstand the situation, everyone. Mr. Wright had already divorced Ms. Shalders. Only now is he dating Ms. Mossey. For the Wright family’s sake, please keep what happened tonight to yourselves.”
Upon getting some further explanations, the crowd finally dispersed.
By then, Sheralyn had regained some of her energy. She got up from the ground and gripped Maverick’s sleeve.
With her smudged and comical–looking eyeliner, she gritted her teeth in resentment and snapped, “Maverick, you must help me. That b*tch bullied me and embarrassed the Wright family. You must teach her a lesson!”
“Mave, Sheralyn was wronged big time. What are you going to do about Gwendolyn?” Natasha chimed
With his solemn gaze, he glanced at both of the ladies and said, “Since you insist, let’s check out the surveillance footage.”
With that said, he spun on his heel and left.
A flash of anxiety flittered across Sheralyn’s face, and she instinctively glanced at a surveillance camera on the lamppost in the garden. There shouldn’t be a problem because it’s going to show that I was bullied.
With that in mind, she and Natasha followed after Maverick.
Before Gwendolyn left, she had said a few words to the manager of The East. Hence, the manager greeted Maverick and the other two respectfully when they showed up. After bringing them to the surveillance room, the manager threw a glance at Sheralyn’s messed–up makeup.
Sheralyn felt offended, so she fumed, “What are you looking at? Even with my makeup smudged, I still look more elegant than you peasants!”
Hearing that, the manager dashed away unhappily. Let’s see if you can afford to keep up with that arrogance of yours!
In the surveillance room, the trio was going through the surveillance footage.
Only then did Sheralyn find out that the surveillance footage had an audio recording.
When she heard herself cursing in the footage and assaulting Gwendolyn before getting countered by Gwendolyn, her face turned pale.
On the other hand, Maverick’s face was turning grimmer and grimmer.
His gaze was so intimidating that Sheralyn immediately cowered the moment she caught a glimpse of it. “Maverick, please hear me out…”
Maverick ignored her and turned to leave.
