Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 367

Gwendolyn glanced downward silently, her expression cold.

The plaintiff’s lawyer raised his hand and continued, “The defendant is not refuting precisely because she’s guilty. It is true that she shot Mr. Vidar Lund that day. Your Honor, we suggest that she be detained…”

While he was making a reasoned and well-founded accusation against Gwendolyn, the legal assistant beside him, who was recording the notes on a laptop, suddenly received an email.

The assistant opened the email. After she read the first two lines, her eyes widened in shock. She quickly turned the laptop to Kylie.

Kylie read the email attentively. As she read the rest of the email, her eyes reddened and tears started streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably. Unable to control her emotions, she broke down.

The legal assistant had no choice but to interrupt the trial. “Apologies, Your Honor. Our plaintiff is emotionally distressed. We request another recess!”

The lawyers representing the Harris family were initially prepared to reveal their trump card after the plaintiff’s lawyer had finished speaking. They wanted to use the evidence that Charles was not an adopted son, while also proving that Gwendolyn had acted in self-defense. They planned for a dramatic turnaround.

However, there was yet another unexpected recess, leaving everyone baffled.

During this recess, Kylie suddenly withdrew the lawsuit without any prior warning.

It seemed that she had admitted defeat in this battle.

Gwendolyn could not understand it. Before the second recess, she had noticed the sorrowful expression on Kylie’s face when Kylie was looking at the laptop.

What was written on it? Or did Kylie eventually decide to back down since this is, after all, a royal scandal?

Treyton hugged her shoulders and led her out of the courtroom.

Just when they reached the entrance hall of the courthouse, Kylie, Gerhardt, and the rest happened to walk out from the other side.

They came face to face with one another.

Kylie glared at Gwendolyn, unable to conceal the hatred in her eyes.

“Gwendolyn, you should thank Charlie for the fact that you can still walk out of here freely instead of being handcuffed and detained as a criminal. If it weren’t for him, I would never have let you off the hook!”

Thank Charles?

Gwendolyn was utterly confused.

With an arrogant snort, Kylie spun around and walked away, denying Gwendolyn the opportunity to ask any questions.

Treyton patted her shoulder lightly. “Kiddo, don’t think too much about it. In any case, the matter has now been resolved.”

“Yeah.” Gwendolyn nodded.

As they exited the courtroom, she immediately spotted a man leaning against a luxury car. That familiar and handsome figure caused her restless self to find solace in an instant.

It was Cedrick.

Quickly running up to him, she slipped her small arms under his black coat and embraced his sturdy waist. She could feel the warmth from his body.

“When did you wake up? How do you feel? While Kieran is still in Salinsburgh, I’ll have him cure you completely!”

Having heard those words of concern, Cedrick happily stroked her head. He wrapped her thin body within his coat and hugged her tightly.

“I probably woke up while you were still in court. Don’t worry. With Kieran’s medical skills, there won’t be any traces of the illness left within me.”

Gwendolyn felt less worry.

Cedrick leaned closer to her ear and whispered mysteriously, “Gwendolyn, I want to take you somewhere.”

“Where?”

“You’ll know when we get there,” he replied in a gentle tone. He opened the car door, carried her, and carefully placed her in the seat. Then, he turned around and said to Treyton and Kieran, “I’ll borrow Gwendolyn from you two for now. It’s almost the New Year. I’ll formally thank both of you on New Year’s Eve.”
