Chapter 154 Handsome and Romantic Man


    Den and Alex were just temporary alliances.


    Were they people of the same kind? They were.


    They both were people who only cared about profit and wanted to dominate the entire business circle.


    But they were just too old to defeat the younger generation.


    People like Maverick had given them a lot of pressure.


    The Lamont family used to be one of the Big Four.


    Ever since Maverick had taken over it, the Lamont family had broken away from them at a fast speed.


    Of course, they had objections to this.


    They used to share profit. But when Maverick came into power, he didn''t show any respect and share


    anything with them and even began to eat away the parts that belonged to them.


    They were to be respected, not neglected.


    They had tried to fight back. It was just that the foundation of the Lamont Group was so strong and


    Maverick was so good at doing business that they were no match for him.


    So they had umted a certain amount of resentment towards Maverick.


    What happened this time directly led to them joining forces.


    While they were all people with ulterior motives. They could fight against themon enemy together,

    but it was hard to say they were of one mind.


    Especially now that Alex had encountered troubles, Den began to have another n.


    They were businessmen.


    Den thought that if he sessfully snatch the Italian market from Maverick, he would not only make


    himself famous but also expand the overseas market at the same time. It would be even more ideal if


    he could have this all to himself.


    While Alex also thought the same.


    As a result, when Maverick got someone to contact Den in Italy, Alex also got the news in City C.


    Mental tactics were very important.


    People who did not trust each other would easily part ways.


    Maverick had made arrangements step by step, waiting for them to turn on each other.


    ...


    And for now, Maverick did not pay much attention to this.


    In business, whether it was a quick battle or a roundabout tactic, the wealth he had umted in Italy


    a few years ago was enough for him to y all kinds of tricks and y with them till the end.


    As he couldn''t go abroad now, Maverick was thinking of talking with Edmond at a proper time.


    However, what happened these days had caught much attention. Before Maverick could think of a


    countermeasure, someone from the Lamont family had directlye to him.


    Even though Maverick was one of the Lamonts, he was not close to them.


    Especially to Levi.


    Compared to Will, Levi was the one that Maverick disliked more.


    In fact, Levi had asked Maverick several times. If it wasn''t for that Maverick could keep a good mood


    no matter what happened, he might not easily agree with having dinner together with Levi.


    To Maverick, what was done was done.


    But now he just couldn''t let go when he thought of Edmond and the fatherly love that hecked all


    these years.


    With that thought, he agreed to have a meal with Levi.


    Everly was still in the hospital these days. Her eyes were fine, but it was for sure that there would be a


    scar.


    Now that the medical skills were well-developed, such a small scar was not a big problem. Everly did


    not see it as important at all. As for Parrish, after the operation, his body was much weaker. She was


    worried that Parrish would be angry, especially now that Sarah had died. The Farleys had blocked the


    news from Parrish and Everly simply apanied him in the hospital every day in case he was


    thinking too much.


    As expected, Parrish oftenined to her about Maverick and persuaded her to stay away from him


    from time to time.


    In this regard, Everly did not answer directly, but also did not want to stimte Parrish''s mood, so she


    basically avoided talking about Maverick.


    While Parrish understood her well.


    Back then when he disagreed with her giving birth to Edmond, she insisted, even with the price of


    cutting off all ties with them. Now that she was in love, the way she did was just all the same. He was


    just worried if this continued.


    It was a problem for people who were not from the same world to fall in love.


    "Has the little girl been at our home recently?" Parrish looked better today. He took a sip of water and


    asked Everly who was sitting aside peeling an apple for him, "Has Mavericke back? His daughter


    has always been at our home. If anything happens, it will be our responsibility. You are too careless."


    Everly cut the apple and handed it over to Parrish.


    Then she said in a low voice, "They took her back yesterday. She hasn''t been to kindergarten recently.


    People are still talking about them. Luckily she is only at this age, so they just asked a few more days


    off for her."


    "Maverick is back?"


    "Dad, is the apple delicious?" Everly tried to skip the topic.


    "What are you doing? You changed the subject every time I mentioned Maverick. What? Are you still


    worried that I will be stimted?"


    Everly put on a fawning face, "Dad, I hope that you will be fine. Otherwise, I would like to take my heart


    and give it to you."


    Parrish snorted coldly, "That has to be a match. Just wait and see. Don''t step back when the time


    "Dad..."


    "Look at you. Your beautiful eyes are now scarred. Don''t tell anyone else that you are my daughter.


    When I was young, I was well-known for being handsome and romantic. You are just embarrassing


    me."


    Everly was relieved to find Parrish joking.


    However, at the time Parrish was bragging, Gloria just came in.


    She immediately mocked, "Really? Handsome and romantic? But you only kept peeking at me when


    you chased me. That is your romance? As for looking handsome, you should thank god that they look


    like me."


    Parrish was unconvinced and argued, "Daughters resemble fathers. This is an eternalw."


    "Nonsense. You should think it twice about who Everly looks like."


    "Hendrix is also handsome, but only seventy to eighty percent as that as I was when I was young."


    "Shameless!"


    ...


    Just as Everly was enjoying the show between them, Maverick called. So she got up and went outside


    to answer the phone.


    Parrish was busy arguing with Gloria, yet he still noticed Everly going out.


    Seeing Everly go out, he immediately shut up and sighed, his face filled with worry.


    Gloria knew clearly what he was worried about. She patted him on the shoulder and shook her head,


    "Everly is already a mother. Don''t worry too much. Take care of yourself. Otherwise, she will never be


    at ease for the rest of her life. You know what? She always felt that your illness was because of her."


    "Ridiculous!"


    "So it is. You should be careful about your heart. We will worry about them, and vice versa. Maverick is


    a good person, so let''s just watch first. Don''t be too fierce in opposition, or you''ll make her feel


    ufortable."
