Ex-husband's Sweet Trap novel Chapter 37

Luz's mind was in a mess. Just as she was trying to figure out how to face the situation, she felt many eyes staring at her, in a mixture of disbelief, envy, jealousy, and even some regret.

She looked around blankly and saw that Henry had stepped off the stage and was walking towards her with a fond smile.

Crazy, he must be crazy.

Henry watched her panic silent mockery. "Now you're scared, Luz Boone. You should have thought of this before you go around seducing other men."

"Oh my god, Mr Maynard has been married for eight years!"

The news was like thunder to them, but the reporters soon sobered up. Mr Maynard was currently in a relationship with the A-list celebrity Emily Hurst, so it made no sense that he was married and had a child.

Henry ignored the curiosity and doubts in their eyes. He walked towards Luz in regal strides. He pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Surprise."

Luz wanted to push him away, but his cold threat continued by her ear, bringing the smell of cigarettes with it.

"If you push me away, I'll bankrupt the Carver family's company tomorrow. Then we'll see how your beloved childhood crush Declan fares, shall we?"

Even if he left the woman, that didn't mean she was up for Declan to take.

He would never allow this woman to have a happy life because he hated her.

"You're crazy."

She said as quietly as she could, but her accusation was weak.

"I'll make you go crazy before I do."

"Then you should be obedient."

Henry's lips curled into a gentle smile, but it made Luz feel cold all over. She was once again threatened.

"Ms Boone, have you really been married to Mr Maynard for eight years?"

The reporters still couldn't believe the explosive news they had just heard. Henry Maynard, the golden bachelor and the most powerful person in North City, the dream man of every woman, was secretly married to Luz Boone, and they had a seven-year-old child.

It was incredible.

"What did you just call her?"

Before Luz could answer, Henry's cold but oppressive voice rang out again. The face of the reporter who had just come up to ask questions changed and he quickly corrected himself. "Mrs Maynard."

The title "Mrs Maynard" gave her complicated feelings. She glanced at the man beside her. "Why can't I escape him," she thought forlornly.

"Darling, it seems that you have to confirm it with them again."
