Chapter 105 Never Remarrying In This Lifetime

Gwendolyn could not help but laugh when she heard that.

“If it weren’t for me. Wright Construction Group might have been renamed to Lane Construction Group.

Yet, you’re trying to provoke me instead of thanking me?”

“What do you mean?”

It was still no different from giving the Wright Construction Group to an outsider by having it given to

her.

Frida was puzzled for a moment before she seemed to realize something. She softened her tone and

asked. “Could it be that… you want to remarry my son?”

If Gwendolyn were to remarry Maverick, she would then still be considered a member of the Wright

family, and with that. Wright Construction Group would naturally still belong to the Wright family.

Gwendolyn’s gaze gradually turned cold. She retorted, “It would be impossible for me to remarry. Not

chance in this lifetime.” Her tone was stern as she replied, leaving no room for discussion about this

matter.

After all, Maverick did not deserve to have her hand in marriage again.

“So, what exactly are you trying to do?” Frida could not understand.

“Out of respect for Old Mr. Wright, I will not make changes to the company’s general policy, and I will

keep the group’s name as Wright Construction Group. You could also buy back the Wright

Construction. Group from me If you have the ability.”

“What are you trying to…”

Frida was at a loss for words even though she was cursing Gwendolyn to be struck by lightning just

now. She never expected that Gwendolyn would do that much for Declan, despite Gwendolyn having

already obtained Wright Construction Group.

Gwendolyn paid no attention to her surprised expression. She looked at Yulia, who was standing

quietly at the side, and instructed, “Have someone to calm down the construction team who is causing

a commotion. downstairs. Also, remove Samantha’s spies from all departments within two days.”

“All right.”

Yulia immediately headed off to make the arrangements.

Gwendolyn then looked around the CEO’s office before she instructed the bodyguard, “Throw away all

the old things in this office and replace them with new ones, including the chairs and paintings. Don’t

miss any single one.”

The bodyguards sprang into action right away. They began moving items under Frida’s astonishednovelbin

gaze.

The first thing that was getting thrown away was the chair that Frida was sitting on right under her

buttocks.

Hence, Frida had no other choice but to stand.

Faced with the predicament of ending up with nothing in the future, she had to let go of her airs of

being

a wealthy wife and previous mother-in-law. Frida spoke with a somewhat ingratiating tone.

“Gwendolyn, considering our past relationship as in-laws, could you please return the villa of the Wright

family to me? You surely would not want to see Sheralyn and me live on the streets, would you?”

Responding to Frida’s words with a gentle smile, Gwendolyn answered, “You can have it, of course, as

long as you redeem it back with money.”

Her words left Frida stuck in a difficult position. “You knew all my money was taken by that scoundrel

Samantha. Why would I have any money left…”

Gwendolyn then responded, “I won’t return it to you just like that. However, I can offer you a great place

to stay instead.”

Frida was perplexed.

Although she did not believe that Gwendolyn would really be so kind-hearted, she had no other option

but to trust the latter for now.

Following that, Gwendolyn brought Frida out of Wright Construction Group and headed straight to the

Wright residence.

“What are you doing?” Frida felt even more confused.

In turn, Gwendolyn flashed a smile as she answered, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

She called out all of the housekeepers in the entire villa, then had them stand in several rows at the

garden’s open space.

“All of you must have already heard the news about Wright Construction Group, I believe.”

Hearing her words, the housekeepers lowered their heads while exchanging glances with one another.

Gwendolyn continued, “From now on, Frida and Sheralyn will no longer be the owners of this villa but

the lowest-ranking housekeepers!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the housekeepers began to whisper among themselves.

Frida’s face turned pale immediately. She scowled at Gwendolyn. “You! How could you!”

Gwendolyn ignored her accusing glare and continued to give orders. “From now on, anyone who has

ever been bullied by them can instruct them to do anything. If they cannot do the work according to the

instructions, you may report them to me at any time.”

With that, the voices from the crowd of housekeepers grew louder.

Frida’s expression changed drastically. She would rather die if she had to allow these lowly people to

climb over her head and bully her as they please in the future.

“Gwendolyn, you’ve gone too far!”

Gwendolyn turned around and met her murderous glare. With a sneer, she uttered, “I can let both of

you continue to live in the Wright residence, but you should know very well that there’s no such thing as

a free lunch in this world.”

That was the fact, indeed. Frida did not have any words to retort to that, but she knew it would be a

humiliation to her!

She would never allow any possibility for that to happen!

Gwendolyn clearly knew that Frida would not back down easily.

“You were arrogant and overbearing before and even offended your maternal family. Since Lane Group

failed their scheme this time, they must be holding a lot of grudges. If you go to seek refuge with your

brother, Louis, do you think he might take advantage of your situation and make your life even more

difficult than it is now?”

Frida bit her lower lip and was rendered speechless because Gwendolyn guessed it right.

“Other than me, you do not have other option.”

Gwendolyn smiled and continued. “I can allow you and Sheralyn to stay at the Wright residence as

housekeepers. You would not need to worry about meals, and you would even be given the

compensation you deserve. Once you’ve saved enough money, you can come to me to buy back the

villa anytime. So, it’s up to you to choose-living in a villa or under a bridge.”

Frida clenched her fist so tightly that her entire arm was trembling.

With no news about her son’s whereabouts and that both she and her daughter were now penniless,

Sheralyn would surely break down if they had to live under a bridge.

However, if these housekeepers could walk all over them in the future, Sheralyn would likely not be

able to accept that either.

How should I choose…

Frida was caught in a dilemma for a long time.

On the other hand, Gwendolyn was not in a hurry. She gave Frida plenty of time to think.

“All right, I agree to that.”

Upon hearing the answer, Gwendolyn curled her lips into a delighted beam. She then turned to look at

Hannah, who was the highest-ranking maid, and ordered, “Starting from today, you will be in charge of

this villa. Remember, Frida and Sheralyn are no longer the owners of the villa, so you don’t need to fear

them as you did before.”

Hannah was surprised by the honor. “All right, Ms. Shalders. From now on, you are the one and only

owner of this villa!”

Gwendolyn nodded in satisfaction. Just then, her phone suddenly chimed with a text message

notification. After taking a glance, the twinkle in her eyes grew even brighter. Without further ado, she

turned away and left the Wright residence.

As soon as she left, the group of housekeepers shot angry glares at Frida with despised looks.

Feeling intimidated by their oppressive feeling. Frida gulped as she clarified, “Don’t just listen to

anything she ordered. The land you’re standing on still belongs to the Wrights. It won’t be long before I

take it

back!”

If it were in the past, her words might have had some deterrent effect. However, the group of people

Chapter 105 Never Remarrying In This Lifetime

standing in front of her now had been displeased with her for a long time. How could they possibly miss

this opportunity to deal with her?

Hannah snickered. “Bring it up when you can actually get it back. At least for now, you have to listen to

us!”

group of people instantly grabbed onto Frida and was about to drag her away.

“What are you trying to do? Are you rebelling against me?” Frida screamed out in fear as she struggled

with all her might.

Hannah then explained. “Sorry to say this, Mrs. Wright, but only the master of the house is entitled to

stay in the bedroom. As you are now a low-ranking housekeeper, you are only allowed to sleep in the

basement.”

The basement is filthy, messy, and cold, with no air conditioning or heated floors. There is even no bed.

How can anyone sleep there?

“I don’t want to! Let me go!”

Unfortunately, Frida’s strength was no match for the experienced housekeepers who always did the

chores. She was forcibly dragged to the basement.

In addition, Hannah also mentioned that if Frida did not behave, she would be locked up and not be

given food. Furthermore, she would only be let out when she learned to be obedient.

The group of housekeepers felt delighted as they listened to Frida incessantly banging on the

basement door and continued to make a ruckus.

All of a sudden, one of them remembered that they were missing someone. “Sheralyn is still sleeping in

her room on the second floor. Let’s wake her up now! She used to love to berate us, so let’s give her a

taste of her own medicine and see how she likes being humiliated!”

“Good idea! We’ll look for Sheralyn! Let’s teach her a lesson!”

The group of people cheered while they moved away as if they were having a long-repressed wild

party.

In the afternoon, Maverick, who was still yet to recover from the waist injury, finally managed to

completely shake off the relentless pursuit of that group of people. He had successfully arrived at

Fairlake.

Due to going through the cycle of searching for people, hiding, getting drenched in the rain, and getting

injured for a few days continuously, he had become extremely pale.

Unlike his previous handsome and distinct appearance, this paleness added a touch of enchanting

charm

to him.

Once Maverick returned to Fairlake, the first thing he did was go back to his place and take a hot

shower. He then changed into a clean suit which made him look impeccably elegant once again.

His phone was turned off to prevent the battery life from being used up since there was no signal while

he

was in the mountains.

To his surprise, the call history bombarded his phone the moment he turned on the device.

All the calls were from Zachary.

Maverick dialed back, and the other end picked up almost instantly, sounding extremely anxious.

“Maverick, you finally answered the phone! If you still do not return to Fairlake by now, I might even.

think that you are dead!”

Maverick frowned and questioned, “What’s wrong?”

Come back to Wright Construction Group quickly! Something major has happened!”
