Mr. Wright and Mrs. Right

Chapter 130

Nico sympathized more with Maverick than Noah, as Nico was aware of the incident when Gwendolyn drugged and tortured Maverick in the basement.

“It hasn’t been long since we last saw each other, Boss, and you’re already in such bad shape. Why don’t we leave Fairlake? There’s no need for you to put up with this treatment,” Nico commented.

After Maverick was assisted back onto the bed, the malicious expression on his pale face gradually faded. “Okay, you stay here in Fairlake and help me win back my wife. I’ll go back.”

Nico was rendered speechless after he heard Maverick’s reply.

Nico was well aware that Gwendolyn was not someone to be trifled with. She had a sharp tongue, a hot temper, and a tendency to get physical. He simply did not have what it took to handle her.

After a moment of silence, Nico put on an ingratiating smile. “No problem, Boss. Take your time chasing her. We can figure something out once you get tired. No rush at all.”

“Okay,” Maverick replied.

Maverick’s face reverted to its usual icy demeanor, and his black eyes narrowed. “As for Noah, I don’t care how you do it. Just get him to spill everything. You know how to deal with this kind of treacherous, double-crossing scum.”

“You can count on me, Boss.”

After Nico finished talking to Maverick, he pressed the call button and asked the nurse to come in and readminister Maverick’s IV drip.

Maverick did not protest this time.

When Maverick woke up earlier and did not see Gwendolyn, he got annoyed. Not getting the injection was simply an excuse to vent his frustration. Yet, now that Gwendolyn had spoken up, he had to listen to her and be a good patient.

Due to his attractive appearance and remarkable skills, Noah was a favorite of the boss at Fairlake Male Prison.

Noah had it relatively easy compared to Natasha. He only had to endure a bit of discomfort at night and during shower time, but otherwise, things were going well. He was relieved that he did not have to sleep hungry in the bathroom or be subjected to violent attacks.

Little did Noah know that his peaceful and easy days were numbered and were about to come to an end.

The exclusive Papilio Girls talent show, founded by Angle Company, was drawing to a close at last.

For the last recording, Gwendolyn decided to take an innovative approach, inviting one thousand fortunate audience members to experience the girls’ fantastic performances and hold two votes. Moreover, she made use of live online streaming to enable audiences from all over the country to witness the final selection and support the girls.

The start of the final selection program was only ten minutes away.

As she watched from backstage, Gwendolyn felt a little nervous. It was her first time leading such a talent show project on her own, and if it went well, Angle’s stock market value would rise by at least three points.

The program officially started with the host’s opening speech, followed by the twenty finalists, who made their entrance one by one while being greeted by continuous cheers from the audience.

Following that, the host then announced the highly anticipated guest of the night, “Please welcome the internet sensation, Joaquin Zipper!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The starstruck female fans in the audience went wild, and the trainee girls on stage also got caught up in the excitement.

As the cheers erupted, Joaquin made a bold entrance, his handsome and radiant looks capturing everyone’s attention.

But much to everyone’s surprise, he did not make his way to the topmost seat in the special invited mentor section. Could it be that there was someone even more formidable than Joaquin?

To the audience’s surprise, the host revealed the next major guest, Treyton. He was a phenomenon in the entertainment industry as he was a mysterious figure that was more popular than a movie star despite not having mainstream fame.

More than half of the audience stood up and cheered as Treyton appeared, welcoming him even more enthusiastically than Joaquin. However, even Treyton did not take the center seat in the mentor section.

As the show progressed, many people in the audience began to wonder who the most prestigious seat in the mentor section was reserved for.

Gwendolyn was fully immersed in the backstage screen, closely observing the spectacle. After checking the online viewer count, she saw a huge increase in the number of viewers due to the grand entrance of the two major guests. She smiled with contentment.

Indeed, having such a perfect male specimen by her side was something to be utilized to the fullest extent; otherwise, it would be such a waste.

As it was the final round, each of the twenty girls had the opportunity to showcase their talent before the official performance began.

Soon it was Jennifer’s turn. Because of the bullying incident a few days ago, her voice was slightly affected, so she chose to showcase a dance instead.

As the music started, Jennifer quickly got into the zone and performed a self-choreographed dance that blended contemporary and classical elegance, earning cheers from the audience.

To Treyton’s surprise, he noticed Jennifer, who was not drop-dead gorgeous but had a sweet and genuine look. Her talent was also impressive, and he felt she would go far in the entertainment industry.

Treyton then perused the file on Jennifer and learned that Gwendolyn had already signed her with Angle. He smiled contentedly and returned his attention to the competition without any further comment.

The progrom officiolly storted with the host’s opening speech, followed by the twenty finolists, who mode their entronce one by one while being greeted by continuous cheers from the oudience.

Treyton then perused the file on Jennifer ond leorned thot Gwendolyn hod olreody signed her with Angle. He smiled contentedly ond returned his ottention to the competition without ony further comment.

After an hour of intense competition, it was time to announce the final results based on the votes.

Jennifer made a comeback with over 900 votes, rising from 15th place to secure a spot in the debut lineup and landing in 6th place with an impressive result.

As the program drew to a close, the host reappeared and announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the owner of Angle to deliver the closing speech!”

All eyes turned to Treyton as the host called for the founder of Angle to give the closing speech. However, to everyone’s surprise, Treyton showed no sign of moving, leaving the audience to speculate why the CEO of Angle was not taking the stage.

As the audience was left baffled, the host then announced with a smile, “Let’s welcome Ms. Shalders with a big round of applause!”

As the spotlight focused on the end of the red carpet, Gwendolyn emerged from backstage, dressed in a long, dark red gown that complemented her snow-white skin. Her entire presence exuded an air of elegance and royalty as she gracefully walked toward the stage, with the spotlight following her every step.

The crowd watched Gwendolyn in shock, and some recognized her immediately.

“Wait, isn’t that the same woman who confronted Ms. Natasha from the Mossey family at the press conference last time?”

“Wow, she’s so beautiful and cool! No wonder she had the guts to confront the Mossey family; she’s actually a wealthy woman herself!”

“I remember hearing rumors that she was a rich guy’s abandoned ex-wife, but those were clearly just lies. I mean, why would a woman with her own wealth be scared of getting divorced? She could do so much better anyway.”

“Come on, guys! All I care about is that she killed it with her Lover performance. Please, can she debut already?

“Girl, you’re incredible! She’s not only an amazing dancer but also the boss of Angle!”

The audience erupted in excitement.

The fact that even Treyton was happy to take a backseat and let her have the main spot at the mentors’ table showed that she must be extraordinary.

The girls who had already secured their spots in the debut lineup were unfamiliar with Gwendolyn, except for Jennifer, who appeared to be the most surprised among them.

Oh my god, Gwendolyn is the owner of Angle? Is she really the kind of domineering CEO that you only see in books? Jennifer exclaimed inwardly.

It was unbelievable how Jennifer had managed to grab hold of such a wonderful opportunity and still remained oblivious to it.

With all eyes on her, Gwendolyn walked steadily onto the stage, took the microphone handed to her by the host, and smiled faintly. “Hello, everyone. I’m Gwendolyn, the behind-the-scenes owner of Angle.”
