Chapter 186 How Do You Want To Be Punished

Gwendolyn did not bother talking to him at all. She wrapped the belt around his hands and quickly tied

them tightly.

Maverick instinctively wanted to break free, but he had used all his strength to withstand the pain when

Nico applied the medicine earlier.

In the end, he could only obediently surrender.

Gwendolyn acted swiftly, pinning him down onto the bed with ease. She raised his hands above his

head and held them firmly against the bed with one hand.

Then, she stood by the bedside.

Maverick’s ears turned slightly red as he asked in a low, husky voice, “Gwendolyn, what are you

doing?”

This posture feels a bit strange… I bet those two scoundrels haven’t left yet, and they’re still hanging

outside the window. My dignity!

Outside the window, Nico and Swain were indeed still hanging around. Hearing the commotion, the two

secretly peeked inside.

Wow!

Both of them did not expect to see their boss get pinned down on the bed. The latter was completely

subdued and unable to break free.

Moreover, the said boss was lying beneath.

Awesome! This trip is totally worth it!

The two were engrossed in watching the show when Maverick’s dark eyes narrowed. He fiercely shot a

sharp glare out the window.

Nico and Swain were instantly intimidated. They had no choice but to follow the command and climb

along the window ledge to the nearby pipe. Then, they quietly slipped out through the back door.

Gwendolyn was examining the wound on Maverick’s back inside the room.

The bandage had indeed been changed recently. Faint traces of blood could be seen seeping through.

However, she was not planning on letting him off the hook just yet. Gently lifting the edge of the

bandage, she intended to look at the wound.

Maverick deliberately let out a groan as his facial features tensed up. “Gwendolyn, it hurts…”

Gwendolyn paused for a moment.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she withdrew her hand. “Who helped you wrap your bandages?

When I came in, I saw Elven and the others passed out in the garden. What happened?”

“I bandaged myself.” Maverick’s expression remained unchanged. As he was forced to lie face down

on the bed, he could only turn his head to the side to answer her questions. “Elven and the others

passed out? I’ve been in the room the whole time, so I was unaware of this.”

Gwendolyn looked at him coldly, raising her eyebrows, and smirked. “Oh, really?”

“Yes.”

Heh, he’s really full of lies. Not a single word of truth comes out of his mouth.

Gwendolyn pressed her knee harder against his lower back, skillfully exposing his lies.

“Before I left, you were so sick and frail that your fingers tremble when you lift your hand. I was only

gone for about ten minutes, and now you’re full of energy. You could even change your own bandages.

Is this some kind of terminal lucidity?”

Maverick pursed his thin lips, remaining silent and motionless.

Gwendolyn continued, “My bodyguard was drugged and left unconscious in the yard. Yet, not only were

you unharmed, but your condition even improved. It must have been your subordinate’s doing, right?

Do you think I would believe this has nothing to do with you? Or maybe you deliberately pretended to

be weak and sick to deceive me before I left?”

She paused for a moment, her eyes cold and sharp. “Are you trying to trick or hide something from

me? Think carefully before you speak.”

Maverick gulped hard and fell silent.

He did hide something from her, but she would feel guilty after knowing the truth. She would not make

things difficult for him anymore. However, given her temperament, she would help him find a cure for

the virus. Moreover, she would also terminate the employment contract out of guilt.

If he told her that he lied, she would be furious as she once said she hated deception the most. The rift

between them would only grow wider.

No matter how he answered, it would be unfavorable for him.

“Hmm?” After waiting for a while, Gwendolyn was met with silence, and her expression grew colder.

She pinched the soft flesh on his lower back and asked, “Are you trying to figure out the best way to

deceive me?”

Maverick was exposed but showed a blank expression. With a heavy tone, he began, “It’s Nico. I didn’t

want the wound to leave a scar, so I asked him to bring a box of scar removal cream. It’s in the first

drawer of the bedside table. As for the wound on my back, Nico helped me apply the ointment. My

condition has improved a lot, thanks to your antidote. It has restored much of my strength.”

After listening, Gwendolyn intriguingly curved her lips into a smile.

“It’s just a box of scar removal cream. He could have given it to Elven to bring to you. As for your injury,

why can’t Elven apply the medicine? He drugged my subordinates and trespassed into my villa just for

this. Do you think I would believe that?”

Maverick’s expression remained calm and composed as he continued to explain, “He was indeed

reckless in this matter. I’ll have him apologize to Elven and the others next time.”

Nico, who was leisurely leaving the villa area, suddenly felt his ears burning. Little did he know that

someone had already placed the blame on him.

Gwendolyn chuckle. His answer was flawless, and his performance was quite convincing. This

statement probably contains a mix of truth and falsehood.
