The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 292 You Are Way Worse Than An Animal

“Don’t call me that! It’s disgusting! Eloise, I won’t let you off if you lay a finger on Jennifer!”

He shoved Eloise’s hand away and rushed down the stairs.

Eloise’s face twisted with jealousy as she watched Trey’s hasty departure.

In a fit of anger, she smashed a colossal porcelain vase along the corridor.

She was well aware that after what just transpired, Sherman’s reputation was utterly ruined while Gwendolyn

escaped that fate, and the Fergusons were in big trouble.

However, none of that mattered to her at this point.

Since she had failed to destroy Gwendolyn, she was determined to ruin Jennifer!

Meanwhile, Emma was handling the reporters gathered in Sherman’s room while Wyatt attended to matters in the

garden.

Many guests had already departed even before the tower cake made its grand entrance as they were unable to

endure the footage on the large screen.

Eloise couldn’t care about anything anymore as she hurried down the stairs and took a shortcut to get to Jennifer

before Treyton.

Moments ago, Jennifer had been clinking glasses with her fellow members at the Papilio Girls‘ backstage room

before she took a sip of fruit juice.

However, within a matter of minutes, her body temperature began to rise. She tried her best to endure the

discomfort, thinking that a trip to the washroom would alleviate it.

As she walked along the corridor in a daze, leaning on the wall for support, a rugged man with an unkempt beard

suddenly grabbed her and forcefully carried her away to the basement.

Moans and groans could be heard emanating from behind the tightly shut door.

Eloise hastily arrived with a camera and five bodyguards in tow, intending to capture a compromising photo of

Jennifer..

However, she was met with profound disappointment when she opened the door.

Jennifer stood against the wall, her eyes bloodshot, gripping a bloodstained metal rod in her hand. Despite the

visible trembling, she was still standing strong.

Her exquisite costume had been torn to tatters, but her gaze remained resolute. Instead of succumbing to distress,

she emitted a fierce resolve, ready to fight till the end.

Earlier, she had only taken a sip of the drugged beverage, so she was not particularly affected and was able to

maintain a shred of her composure.

“What’s the hold–up? Why haven’t you completed the task?” Eloise felt her frustration reaching its peak.

Everything seemed to be spiraling out of her control lately.

The man whom Jennifer had fiercely beaten was slowly making his way toward her, but upon hearing

Eloise’s voice, he abruptly changed course and limped toward Eloise instead.

“Ms. Ferguson, she’s too strong. I can’t take her down!”

“Useless piece of trash!”

Eloise delivered a resounding slap that left him disoriented. She then fixed a piercing glare on Jennifer, who was

backed into a corner, and instructed her bodyguards, “All of you, have fun with her, and I’ll reward everyone with

one million each!”

The bodyguards‘ eyes gleamed like feral beasts as they lunged at Jennifer at Eloise’s command.

“Stay away from me! Ah!” Jennifer fiercely swung her metal rod, but she was outnumbered by the five bodyguards.

In a matter of moments, her weapon was wrested from her grasp, plunging her into a torrent of fear and despair.

Determined to avoid being violated by these vile men, she contemplated biting her tongue to end her life.

However, before she could act, Treyton swiftly intervened, kicking the bodyguards away and breaking their wrists

before they could even lay a hand on her shoulder.

Within seconds, all five bodyguards lay defeated on the ground, their agonized cries filling the room.

Eloise, who was leaning against the doorframe with her arms folded, was caught completely off guard. She didn’t

even have time to react or witness how Treyton swiftly took down all of her bodyguards.

Treyton crouched down, removed his jacket, and quickly draped it over Jennifer’s trembling form. With urgency, he

pried open her mouth to prevent any self–inflicted harm. “Jennifer, it’s me! I’m sorry I arrived late!”

Amidst the turmoil of her fight for survival, Jennifer found solace in the familiarity of Treyton’s deep, baritone voice.

Weary and drained, she surrendered herself to his embrace, allowing her tears to flow freely.

As Treyton gently patted Jennifer’s back, trying to soothe her, a tumultuous storm brewed within him.

His eyes flickered dangerously, radiating an icy aura that betrayed his pent–up emotions.

Witnessing their closeness, Eloise completely lost control.

She stormed over, forcefully wrenching Treyton away, her face contorted with envy. “How could you do this to me?

Why? I’ve loved you since our childhood. After much effort, I finally got the opportunity to be engaged to you, yet

you’ve rejected me time and time again. You always treat other women better than you treat me. Treyton, what

gives you the right to treat me like this?”

With each word, she struck Treyton’s arm with all her might, consumed by fury and jealousy.

Treyton remained motionless, a brewing storm in his eyes. Finally, he snapped and responded with a resounding

slap.

Like a delicate princess, Eloise crumpled to the ground under the force of his fierce slap.

Her cheek flushed red as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

Shocked and disoriented, she instinctively covered her face and exclaimed, “You struck me? How dare you!”

Treyton’s eyes simmered with disdain as he regarded Eloise as if he had just swallowed a fly. “I never lay hands on a

woman, but you’re nothing more than a feral beast!”

With those words, he scooped up Jennifer, who was slowly losing consciousness, and walked out the door.

“Trey! Trey!” Eloise reached out to grab his pants but fell flat on her face.

She had no choice but to watch Treyton walk away with Jennifer in his arms.

“Ahh!” Overwhelmed, she covered her head and screamed like a madwoman.

Two weeks of meticulous planning had unraveled right before her eyes. It was enough to drive her crazy!

Treyton swiftly settled Jennifer inside the car, instructing the driver to look after her while he headed back to the

Ferguson residence.

The atmosphere in the garden had somewhat calmed down, with Wyatt reluctantly swallowing his pride and

apologizing to the remaining guests, trying to persuade them to stay. However, a considerable number had already

departed.

The once elegant birthday banquet had descended into chaos within moments, leaving each individual with their

own distinct perspective on the unfolding events.

Treyton stormed into the garden, striding toward the stage with determination. He picked up the microphone, his

voice resolute and unwavering as he addressed the remaining guests without hesitation, “I, Treyton Harris, hereby

announce the cancellation of my engagement to Eloise Ferguson. Moreover, I am cutting off all business

connections and affiliations with the Ferguson family. From now on, you’re on your own, Fergusons!”

With that, he tossed the microphone down and made his exit.

As the microphone fell to the ground, an ear–piercing screech reverberated through the air.

The serene garden was immediately plunged into chaos once again as the previously pacified guests, who had

momentarily calmed down due to Wyatt’s efforts, erupted into a frenzy of commotion and confusion.

Meanwhile, at the gate of the Ferguson residence, Cedrick emerged with Gwendolyn in his arms.

Just as he was about to step into his car, Treyton’s announcement caught his attention.xo.com fast update

Gwendolyn flashed a thumbs up in approval. “Impressive, Treyton! As expected of my brother!”

“That’s right. He’s your sibling, after all.” Cedrick smiled and gently placed her in the backseat of the car.

Gwendolyn scooted over to make room for Cedrick to join her.

As the car door slammed shut, the cacophony of noise emanating from the Ferguson residence was abruptly

silenced.

Nico took the wheel and accelerated toward Harrick Villa.

Unable to contain her curiosity about the earlier events, Gwendolyn turned to Cedrick and asked with a mischievous

glint in her eyes, “Ceddy, just now, when you were standing outside Sherman’s room door,
