Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 839

Those gossip-loving folks instantly perked up, eagerly pulling her aside to discuss the details.

Looking out through the blinds, Queenie noticed people gathering in small groups and started to chat idly. With a frown, she stepped outside.

The crisp sound of high heels echoed, Queenie slapped the table, and said sternly, “Do

you all have too much free time on your hands? Why are you still in the mood for idle chatter? Do you think our department can outperform all the other departments in the company?”

Queenie was furious, and those people quickly dispersed, returning to their own workstations.

Lana and Sissi, who had just left the Newton Group’s building, had their faces filled with sorrow. They felt as if their lives had suddenly become utterly miserable.

However, something even more dreadful was waiting for them.

They had not gone far from the building when several police cars drove up and parked by the roadside. In no time, they were surrounded.

“Are you Lana, Sissi, Janice…?”

“You are suspected of planning a car accident and engaging in a group fight, please come with us.”

In the end, the three of them were handcuffed. They cried their hearts out, unable to get up from the ground. They were forcibly lifted and pushed into the police car.

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

At last, Whitney had completed all her checkups. The diagnosis revealed that she had a slight concussion. and her leg had suffered some bruising. She would need to take some time to recover.

Looking at the results on the report, Whitney couldn’t help but shake her head. She limped out of the hospital, ready to hail a cab, but she saw Isaac at the hospital entrance.

Due to previous rumors, they hadn’t communicated for quite a long time.

Well, now that we’ve run into each other, it wouldn’t be right not to say hello.

Whitney limped to the side of the road and waved at him. “Mr. Turner, what brings you here?”

Isaac hurriedly opened the car door and said respectfully, “Mrs. Newton, I have come to pick you up as per Mr. Newton’s instructions.”

Seeing that Whitney didn’t move, Isaac explained, “Actually, Mr. Newton was worried that something might happen to you from the beginning. That’s why he asked me to arrange for someone to follow your car. He didn’t expect that incident to happen. Hence, he sent me to pick you up and take you back to the company”

Seeing the bandage on Whitney’s head, Isaac couldn’t help but ask, “Are you alright?”

“No worries. It’s just a minor scrape. It’ll heal with a bit of rest”

Whitney has never been one to overdramatize, nor would she make a fuss over a minor injury.

As they were nearing the company, Whitney hastily asked Isaac to stop the car.

“Um… should I go in first?”

Isaac, of course, understood her concerns. He nodded and replied, “I apologize, Mrs. Newton, for any inconvenience caused earlier. Please go ahead, I will report back to Mr. Newton.”

After parting ways with Isaac, Whitney hopped back to the logistics department, increasingly aware that the way people looked at her had changed again.

But Whitney couldn’t be bothered.

Upon inspection, she found out that only a small amount of the purchased items had issues, the rest were actually quite fine.

As for compensation, the amount of ten thousand yuan should be sufficient.

After estimating the approximate amount, Whitney’s worried heart finally settled down. This price was something she could accept.

When it was time to knock off, Whitney started packing up to leave. Then, she unexpectedly found that Lana and Sissi’s belongings were missing.

What happened during the time I was away?

She caught a colleague before they left, and asked, “Lilith, why haven’t I seen Lana and the others? Have they been transferred from our department?”

A look of panic crossed Lilith’s face when she was caught by Whitney. She quickly pulled away from her grasp. “You should ask someone else. I don’t know, and don’t ask me again in the future.”

After that, Lilith quickly walked away.

Whitney was utterly perplexed. Why do I feel that I was a harbinger of doom? I could see the fear in Lilith’s eyes.

What on earth happened?

A vague sense of unease lingered in Whitney’s heart. Limping, she descended the stairs to the parking lot. She quietly waited by the side of Charles’ most frequently used luxury car still parked in the garage after seeing it.
