Chapter 113 Solidify Your Relationship

05 Восто

In Gwendolyn’s records, there was only a single mention of an orphanage when she was fifteen years

old. Yet, the young masters of the two powerful and influential families in Salinsburgh claimed to have

known her since childhood.

Gould she also come from one of the major families in Salinsburgh? But why did she end up at Fairlake

Orphanage and coincidentally saved Declan?

Not long after she married him, she suddenly initiated a divorce. While he was away, she swiftly seized

control of the Wright family’s power and claimed their residence as her own, even going as far as tonovelbin

send Asher’s men to kill him.

Could it be that everything was premeditated from the very beginning?

If that is the case, is her so-called debt just an act?

Is her insistence that he pay her back for three years of her youth merely an attempt to dispel

suspicion. and provoke his guilt?

Maverick’s dark eyes grew serious as the doubts in his heart deepened.

Maverick was lost in thought. Before he knew it, the car had arrived at the entrance of the Wright

residence.

Maverick wanted to go in by himself, so he turned to the two bodyguards and said, “You two, wait at the

door. I’ll enter and have a quick look. I’ll be out shortly after exchanging a few words.”

The bodyguard’s expression was resolute. “I’m sorry, but Ms. Shalders has instructed us to not move a

step from you and protect you at all times. Mr. Wright, please don’t make our job difficult.”

To not move a step from me? Gwendolyn really is guarding against me cautiously.

“Alright, you may come along, but when I engage in conversation with my mother and Sheralyn, can

yout kindly maintain a bit of distance and refrain from eavesdropping on our conversation?” Maverick

requested.

The two bodyguards exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

Due to Frida’s seniority and her personal experience of hardships during her childhood, she understood

the value of persevering through difficulties. As a result, Hannah and the other housekeepers did not

deliberately make things difficult for her. On the other hand, Sheralyn was young and impetuous and

had been resistant to Hannah’s orders. Consequently, Frida and Sheralyn were assigned different

tasks.

Sheralyn was assigned to clean the toilets, even having to scrub the dirty ones in the servants’

quarters.

Since she was closer, Maverick decided to visit her first.

Upon receiving the news, the housekeeper promptly released Sheralyn from her duties ahead of

schedule and arranged for her to wait for Maverick in the hallway.

Sheralyn, dressed as a maid, had red-rimmed eyes, suggesting that she had been crying for an

extended period of time.

The moment she saw Maverick, she rushed over to embrace him as if she had seen her savior,

seeking comfort in his embrace.

“Maverick! You’re finally back! Are you here to rescue me? Please take me away. The Wright residence

has become a living hell for me. I don’t want to stay here for even a second longer.”

She tried to drag Maverick to the door, but he didn’t budge an inch.

She was completely baffled.

The bodyguard beside Maverick explained, “He is now Ms. Shalders’ personal butler. He can’t save

you. He’s just here to check on you.”

“What? He’s her personal butler?” Sheralyn was utterly shocked as she felt her hope crumbling.

She couldn’t accept the revelation. “Maverick, how could you give in to her? You’re my brother! You’re

the backbone of the Wright family! Why would you do this…”

The bodyguards wanted to say something, but Maverick glared at them fiercely. Sensing the cue, the

bodyguards sealed their lips and distanced themselves by two meters.

Only after the bodyguards left did Maverick speak softly, “Sheralyn, please stay calm for a while longer.

I’ll figure something out.”

Sheralyn broke down in tears, exclaiming, “What can you possibly do? You’re nothing more than her

housekeeper now, just like my mother and me. What difference does it make in our statuses?”

She paused, suddenly thinking of something, and a wicked expression slowly formed on her face.

“I understand now, Maverick! Do you have frequent opportunities to be alone with her? If so, Maverick,

you must find a chance to eliminate her. She has caused me so much harm, and we cannot coexist!”

Maverick looked at Sheralyn’s current state. She was completely blinded by hatred, and he deduced

that no matter how much he tried to reason with her, she would not listen.

After reminding her once again to lie low, Maverick turned around and made his way to check on Frida.

Sheralyn, being persistent, was still shouting from behind, “Maverick! Remember this! You must kill her!

1 want her dead!”

The two bodyguards’ expressions changed slightly.

Maverick noticed the expressions on their faces but didn’t say anything. Instead, he made his way to

Frida without looking back.

Frida was found in the backyard, diligently clearing away weeds.

Seeing her son safe and sound in front of her, Frida felt the overwhelming joy of regaining what was

lost. Embracing Maverick, she cried and tenderly asked how he was doing while comforting him.

“Good to have you back, Maverick. You’ve lost so much weight lately. Haven’t you been eating well?

Your face looks pale too. Are you sick? I know things haven’t been easy with Gwendolyn around, but

you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, it will break my heart.”

Frida gently caressed Maverick’s face. Although the swelling had subsided, she still noticed something

was

amiss.

“What happened to your left cheek? Who hit you? Was it Gwendolyn?”

Maverick held her hand and said, “No, it was Uncle Dexter.”

“How dare that old man, Dexter, lay a hand on you? Once the Wright family’s crisis is resolved, I’ll

make sure to teach him a lesson!”

She was visibly annoyed.

However, Frida couldn’t help but wonder if Gwendolyn still cared for her son since she hadn’t harmed.

him.

She quickly surveyed her surroundings and saw that the two bodyguards were engaged in their own

conversation at a distance, oblivious to their interaction. Leaning in close to Maverick’s ear, she

whispered, “Maverick, Gwendolyn is not an ordinary woman. She has orchestrated everything

flawlessly, from Natasha’s imprisonment to the downfall of the Wright family. Samantha had her

suspicions about Gwendolyn’s true identity, but she never revealed anything in the end. I believe

there’s something extraordinary about Gwendolyn’s background.”

Maverick’s eyebrows furrowed as he quietly listened to Frida.

“Maverick, you must seize the opportunity to thoroughly investigate her identity. If she turns out to be

the daughter of a prominent family, make sure to treat her with attentiveness and strive to remarry her.

If all else fails, consider finding a way for her to bear your child, as it would solidify your relationship

with her.”

Erida initially married into the Wright family using this tactic.

Although Maverick was a man, she believed it was acceptable for him to utilize his appealing

appearance to accomplish the objective.

Maverick’s expression grew darker as he promptly removed Frida’s hand from his face.

“Exploiting someone’s vulnerability? If I were to do such a thing, what kind of man would I be? Please

don’t ever say such things again.”

Frida remained unconvinced. “What’s the harm? If you manage to remarry her, I promise I won’t cause

any

trouble for her. If she truly is from a prestigious family, I wouldn’t mind serving her!”

“You’re being unreasonable!” Maverick exclaimed coldly, and with that, he turned around and departed,

leaving his mother behind.

Frida watched his retreating figure, stomping her foot in anger.

How come this child didn’t inherit my fine qualities?

Seeing their conversation had come to an end, the two bodyguards resumed their close proximity to

Maverick.

Maverick wore a solemn expression as he slowly walked past the lobby on the first floor.

The Wright residence was his best chance. Once he returned to Bay Villa, it would be difficult to contact

Nico.

With that thought, he clutched his stomach, feigning discomfort. “I need to use the restroom. Please

wait here, I’ll be back soon.”

The two bodyguards remained unwavering, continuing to shadow Maverick closely, to the extent that

they contemplated accompanying him into the restroom.

Maverick stood at the restroom door, stopping the two individuals just in time.

“This is a private residence, and each floor has only one restroom with a single toilet bowl. Are you

you find that genuinely planning to stand in front of me and watch me while I use the restroom? Don’t

weird?”
