Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 381

“Yes, that’s right. Mr. Jenson is worried about your safety.”

Gwendolyn felt a warm sensation fill her heart when she heard that. “I know there’s a lot of people here, and things are getting very chaotic, but I’ll be fine. You guys go on ahead and clear the area. See if you can keep the journalists here, especially those who have been recording this incident.”

“No problem, Ms. Harris,” the bodyguards replied in unison before proceeding to get the chaotic crowd under control.

Eloise had assumed that she would die after jumping off the wall, only to fall onto a soft rescue cushion.

Before she even realized what was going on, Elven and the others quickly rushed forward and subdued her.

The film crew was evacuated in under five minutes after being given a stern warning.

As for the journalists, they were rounded up by four bodyguards and told to wait for Gwendolyn to negotiate with them.

The place quietened down significantly with most of the people gone.

Eloise kept screaming at the top of her voice while Elven and the others kept her pinned on the ground.

Gwendolyn walked up to them and glared coldly at Eloise as she continued yelling, “F*ck you, Gwendolyn! I will never forgive you, you f*cking b*tch!”

A few minutes later, Eloise had to pause as her throat got sore from her incessant yelling. Gwendolyn then turned toward Elven and said, “Let her go.”

“What? You want us to let her go? But she’s out of control, Ms. Harris! What if she attacks you?”

“It’s fine. Just do as I say.”

As reluctant as Elven and the others were, they had no choice but to comply and released Eloise from their grip.

Having regained her freedom, Eloise whipped out a pair of gold-colored scissors that she had hidden in her pocket and charged at Gwendolyn before the bodyguards could even react.

“Die, you b*tch!”

“Watch out, Ms. Harris!”

“Gwendolyn!”

The bodyguards exclaimed in horror, only to see Gwendolyn land a perfect sidekick on the back of Eloise’s hand.

The pain was so severe that she dropped the scissors instantly and froze on the spot.

What? Did Gwendolyn just stop me in a split second?

The bodyguards seized that opportunity to pin Eloise to the ground and subdued her once again.

Gwendolyn stepped on Eloise’s fingers as she bent over and taunted her, “You have underestimated me, Eloise. You’re no match for me even if I am at a disadvantage. It’s only a matter of whether I feel like striking back.”

“Aaargh!” Eloise screamed at the top of her voice in anger and frustration.

Annoyed by how noisy she was, Gwendolyn frowned and slapped her hard across the face.

Smack!

The intense pain from the slap stunned Eloise so much that she went silent immediately. Her eyes were filled with tears as she glared viciously at Gwendolyn.

Feeling satisfied at how the mad woman had quietened, Gwendolyn grabbed Eloise by the chin and lifted it up as she said calmly, “Honestly, you should’ve just stayed in prison. Why would you show up at this opening ceremony for the new show I’ve invested in? You even went as far as stealing the scissors that the film crew had prepared to cut the ribbon with. That is a rather impressive level of preparedness you’ve got here. Tell me, whose idea was this?”

“It must really hurt to be betrayed by the person you love the most, huh? I’ll look forward to the day you break down after learning the truth, Gwendolyn!” Eloise exclaimed before she was dragged out of the place.

Gwendolyn simply stood there and thought about what she meant by that.

Ezra walked up to her and whispered, “Ms. Harris, Eloise didn’t look like she was lying. I think she might know something.”

“We stick to our usual procedure. Given the kind of mess she’s in, I doubt we’ll be able to get any information out of her.” Gwendolyn replied with a cold look on her face.

She then glanced in Eloise’s direction as she continued, “Besides, she was probably just making a last-ditch effort to get back at me. I trust Ceddy. There’s no way he’d betray me.”

Ezra gave it some thought and agreed with her.

Mr. Jenson would never betray Ms. Harris even if the whole world became her enemy. That’s especially the case since she’s pregnant with his kid!

Having taken care of Eloise, Gwendolyn turned around and made her way toward the journalists that the bodyguards had rounded up.

“I would never do anything that is against the law. Eloise was locked up in prison because of the crimes she had committed. If you don’t believe me, feel free to look up her criminal record.

As you all probably know, Angle Corporation and Harris Group’s stocks are bound to plummet if word gets out about the scene she has caused today. That will result in me losing hundreds of millions overnight. In order to prevent such a huge and pointless loss of money, I am willing to let you guys have it if you will remain silent about this incident. Well? What do you say?”

The journalists exchanged glances and seemed to have made their decision almost instantly.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Harris! The internet will not hear a word about what happened here today! We will help you come up with an appropriate explanation for this.”

Gwendolyn flashed them a satisfied smile. “Very well. I will have the bodyguards watch as you delete the videos you have recorded. Please remember your promise, though. My eldest brother has a private army, and my third brother practically owns the entertainment industry. My man, too, has the army back him up too. If you guys break your promise, I will be sure to make you regret it.”
