Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Devil Incarnate or Brat 

There is more to her story than meets the eye

He was deep in thought when Noah arrived in a taxi. The latter exhaled sharply when he realized there were a number of men passed out on the ground

Boss didn’t hold back, huh

Maverick glanced at him. Perfect timing. Bring these men back and find out who sent them here.” 

Got it.Noah nodded

Also, send someone to investigate Gwendolyn. I want a detailed report on her background.” 

Got it, Boss.” 

It was late at night when Gwendolyn finally pulled up outside the mansion

Treyton was sitting on the couch, waiting for her patiently

After she relayed the events to Treyton, he erupted in anger and dispatched his men to look into the incident

On the way back home, Gwendolyn pondered over the matter

She didn’t have other foes except for the Harris family member who tried to harm her, but that wouldn’t have just sent a few thugs to record a video of her being sexually assaulted

person 

Thus, she concluded that the Wright family was behind this. As she was afraid that Maverick would act partially after finding out about the truth, she got Treyton to investigate the matter, too

Gwendolyn then went upstairs to take a quick shower before going to sleep

The following morning, she arrived early at the company. After getting familiar with the details yesterday, she was able to arrange the celebritiesschedules today

Suzanna was taken aback by Gwendolyn’s quick learning and didn’t dare to give her any more trouble

The entire morning was uneventful. Feeling content, Gwendolyn stretched lazily

Right after she had lunch, Suzanna barged into her office abruptly

Gwendolyn frowned. Ms. Kleppen, don’t you know you should knock before entering the room?” 

Instead of answering her question, Suzanna threw an iPad on her desk. Look at what you have done!” 

Gwendolyn retrieved the iPad and realized it was a photo of a celebrity under her management, Joaquin Zipper. The photo showed him flying into a rage at the film set. Fortunately, his manager stopped the photo from getting published. Otherwise, Joaquin would be accused of acting like a prima 

donna

Seeing that, Gwendolyn was speechless. Did he throw a tantrum just because I refused to let him fool around and told him to go to the film set to work instead

He’s a popular idol, and all he did was ask for a day off. However, you denied his leave, and now he’s mad. You’ve offended the devil incarnate. I’m not going to clean up after this mess you’ve made!Suzanna sneered with her arms folded

Gwendolyn closed the lid of the iPad with a click. She grabbed her car keys and strode out of the office

Suzanna ran after her. Where are you going?” 

To the film set.” 

Hearing that, Suzanna quickly went after her

The devil incarnate has a fearsome temper and enjoys playing pranks on others. I can’t wait to see him mess with Gwendolyn. I’ll bring it up in the meeting and see how long she lasts as director

Angle invested in the TV drama Joaquin was filming which only commenced shooting a few days ago at Fairlake Film Studios

It only took Gwendolyn and Suzanna around half an hour to reach their destination

Upon arrival, both women heard the commotion of someone overturning a chair

They went nearer to see an eighteenyearold young man throwing a tantrum

His manager and assistant cowered aside silently. Even the film crew stayed away from him

The only person who stood out to stop him was the cleaner, as she couldn’t stand to see the mess on the ground

Young man, how could you do this? Even if you’re rich, you shouldn’t destroy things as you like!” 

The furious young man didn’t stop as told. Instead, he grabbed a vase and declared angrily, Yes, I’m rich! I can afford to compensate for the losses. You have no right to speak to me like that!” 

You can’t break this!the director protested in distress from his hiding spot far away. His heart was filled with anguish

It’s not about the compensation money if he breaks it. The vintage vase was borrowed to enhance the gravitas of the set and it’s extremely valuable

Fear crossed everyone’s faces when they saw Joaquin raising his hand

Joaquin let out an icy snort. Before he could smash the vase, someone seized his arm

He whirled over in shock and saw Gwendolyn gazing at him frostily

Put that down and apologize!” 

Joaquin snorted in disbelief. Who are you to tell me to apologize?” 

Suzanna put on an ingratiating smile and explained, Mr. Joaquin, this is the company’s new talent director, Ms. Shalders. Yesterday was her first day at work, but she immediately denied your leave of absence today. I tried to talk some sense into her, but she claimed you were slacking and denied your 

leave.” 

Hearing that, Joaquin went cold in fury and glowered at Gwendolyn. Oh, so it was you. I filmed for two days in a row. Can’t I ask for one day off? How dare you deny my leave on your second day of work?” 

Deep down, Suzanna was pleased to see Joaquin lashing out at Gwendolyn. She stepped back and waited giddily to see an altercation

Gwendolyn wasn’t about to waste her time talking to the young man. I shall ask one last time. Are you going to apologize or not?” 

Flames of anger licked through Joaquin. His eyes burned with rage as he clenched his fists and bellowed, I don’t usually hit women, but you asked for it!” 

Everyone had already anticipated Gwendolyn’s dreadful destiny a minute later. They hung their heads as they couldn’t bear to watch her suffer

Before the fight even started, it was over

Instead of hearing Gwendolyn’s screams, everyone heard Joaquin yelling in anguish

Ow, it hurts! Let me go! I think my arm is dislocating!” 

Everyone was shocked as they whipped their heads up to see Joaquin being held face down on the ground. His arms were held securely behind his back, and he was awkwardly kneeling on the floor. Despite wearing high heels, Gwendolyn stepped on his butt forcefully

The sight of him yelling at the top of his lungs was really amusing

On the contrary, Gwendolyn remained cool and composed. The crowd couldn’t help but praise her action inwardly
