Chapter 1298


    On the other hand, Mango was shocked to hear this news, and she couldn''t believe it.


    They had been investigating for so long because they thought that Benny Powell was their only


    clue. However, Benny had actually been dead for more than 20 years.


    How was this possible?


    But, she didn''t think that Maverick needed to lie to her.


    Hence, Mango couldn''t help but miss Nathaniel even more.


    Well, perhaps Nathaniel could help out with this confusion if he was here?


    On the other hand, Maverick was also thinking about his own problems. When he turned around


    and saw Mango, he paused for a moment before asking, "Has Nathaniel not returned yet?"


    "No, Ang seems to be hiding something from us."


    After that, Mango told Maverick the whole story.


    She was very worried about Nathaniel and Rita. However, just as Barnes'' wife had said, Ang had


    no reason to go against Morgan. So why did


    Ang do this?


    "Perhaps she did this to confuse the people outside. Maybe she wanted Morgan to think that there


    was a spy around him so that they could lure out the real mastermind."


    Mango had definitely thought about what Maverick said. However, she still couldn''t figure it out.


    "If that''s the case, Nathan and the others would have sent us a message. But we only received one


    from the vermin, and it asked us to sit and wait. I didn''t know if the news was true, so I was a little


    worried and sceptical about it."


    Mango''s furrowed her brows tightly when she thought about this.


    Then, Maverick said faintly, "If you want to know whether it''s true or not, should we ask Lilian to


    bring us there and find out more about it?"


    "As you''ve seen, Lilian''s condition is unstable, and we don''t know when she will wake up. Even if


    she does, we can''t guarantee that she will be willing to help us. Maverick, I don''t understand the


    fued between Lilian and Augustus. But I saw how determined she was when shemitted suicide,


    so I''m afraid..."


    Mango did not say continue her sentence.


    After all, love was the mostplicated problem


    in this world.


    However, Maverick nced at Lilian, who was still lying unconsciously on the bed, and whispered,


    "She will wake up soon, so you should go back first. I will call you when she awakes. Take good


    care of yourself during this period of time. Otherwise, Nathaniel will worry about you.


    Mango could be wrong, but she could definitely feel that Maverick''s mood had improved a little.


    But wasn''t he affected by the truth behind Augustus identity?


    Why did he look happy instead?


    "Are you all right, Maverick?"


    Mango asked concernedly.


    "I''m fine, so you can go back first."


    Maverick directly ordered her to leave. Thus, Mango understood and leave immediately.


    After she walked out of the ward, Maverick closed the door directly. Hence, Mango was kind of


    displeased by his behaviour.


    Did he hate her that much?


    After that, only both Maverick and Lilian were left in the room. THen, Maverick looked at Lilian, who


    was lying on the bed, with affection in his eyes.


    "When will you stop pretending to be asleep? Heh, I can see that your eyelids are twitching. You''ve


    been with me for so long, but you still so bad at disguising yourself. Lilian, what have you learnt


    from me all these years?"


    Maverick teased herdotingly.


    On the other hand, Lilian had no choice but to open her eyes as Maverick had exposed her


    disguise. However, she was stunned when she saw Maverick smiling at her.


    Even after twelve years together, she still could not resist his charm.


    s! She had fallen head over heel for him once again just by looking at his smile! In fact, she


    would do anything for him right now!


    However, Lilian was annoyed at herself for acting this way.


    At this thought, she quickly turned her head away. She wanted to ignore the fact that the person in


    front of her was actually Augustus''s son, so he was her enemy!


    Maverick had been smiling at first, but his eyes darkened when he noticed that Lilian was trying to


    avoid him.


    "Look, can you stop making such a big fuss? Enough is enough!"


    Maverick ordered coldly as he was furious.


    On the other hand, Lilian was a little scared when she heard this, and she bit her lower lip without


    saying a word.


    Then, Maverick rushed forward and grabbed her chin before forcing her to look into his fury eyes.


    "Answer me now! Are you done making a fuss?"


    "Yes! Alright! Let me go!"


    Lilian said in a hoarse voice, but she was determined.


    After all, her jaw hurt badly.


    Maverick had rarely treated her violently for the past twelve years they had been together. The one


    time he had done so was when he was mad at her when they had first got together. Therefore,


    Maverick treated her well all along. However, this was the first time she felt terrified when she saw


    Maverick''s bloodshot eyes and burning anger.


    Then, she told herself that the man in front of her was her enemy''s son. Therefore, she couldn''t


    allow him to betwitch her and influence her anymore! Despite that, she didn''t have the courage to


    act so. Hence, she reacted as if she had done something wrong instead.


    Did she owe him anything?


    Of course, she did!


    After all, she had personally killed their child.


    Maybe Maverick already knew about this too, right?


    Well, he liked and adored children so much. But still, perhaps Maverick would never forgive her for


    this even if she paid for this mistake with her life, right?


    On the other hand, Lilian always knew that Maverick was not a kind person. After all, she knew how


    ruthless he could be more than anyone else.


    Over the past twelve years, she had witnessed how cruel and brutal he was. Although he had killed


    and harmed many people, he had never directed these hatred and violence to her.


    So, was he going to kill her today?


    Yeah, that would probably happen.


    After all, Augustus had given her to Maverick when thetter had be an adult, so she was only


    a toy. Hence, even if Maverick wanted to kill her, she could not do anything.


    Perhaps she already knew the oue that was waiting for her when Mango had caught her after


    she had released Augustus.


    Moreover, Maverick hated the people that betrayed him the most.


    Hence, Lilian had not only betrayed him, but she had also done such a cruel thing. Thus, she


    looked down on herself too, so what would Maverick think about her?


    Lilian rarely cried, but she couldn''t hold back her tears anymore at this thought.


    She thought that her poison was strong enough, so she could''ve died easily and gone to her


    parents. Unfortunately, they had managed to save her.


    Well, she had lost hope a long time ago, and she didn''t want to live at all. In fact, if it weren''t for


    Maverick, she would have died long ago.


    Now that Maverick had found Nathaniel, his actual family, she could finally let go of him. Hence, why


    did he save her?


    "Kill me then."

    Lilian said as she looked at Maverick, the man who she had been following around since she was a


    teenager. However, she was reluctant to leave him.


    After all, he was her family now, so she never wanted to leave him!


    However, she couldn''t give birth to his children!


    Hence, perhaps death was the only way to escape from this.


    "Hah! How could you think this way? Are you trying to die right after you''ve killed my child? Do you


    think that I''m a person that you can satisfy this easily? Lilian Becham, you have been with me for a


    long time. How can you not understand me well? I need to take my revenge now, right?"


    Maverick''s eyes were a little cold when he said this.


    s! Lilian used to think that she could withstand Maverick''s cold personality, but it seemed that


    she had overestimated herself.


    In fact, she loved Maverick so much that she couldn''t bear him directing his indifference and hatred


    towards her!


    All the physical pain that she had experienced was nothingpared to the feeling of losing him.


    "Punish me however you want. I have noints, Mr. Abbott."


    Lilian closed her eyes after saying this.


    After all, she couldn''t tell any lies when she was facing Maverick.


    Then, Maverick grasped Lilian chin forcefully. However, she just closed her eyes and remained


    silent, even though her chin was already red.


    "Hah! Are you asking me to punish you? You''ve killed the four children we had silently. Do you think


    that punishment is enough to repay your debts?"


    Lilian was struggling in pain and sorrow when she heard this.


    After all, killing her own children had left deep scars in her heart!


    She had taken measures to prevent herself from getting pregnant, but she had still gotten pregnant


    eventually. She didn''t want the children, but they were still her flesh and blood!


    At this thought, Lilian shed tears silently.


    On the other hand, Maverick suddenly felt sorry for her when he saw Lilian acting this way.


    After that, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips aggressively.


    "Oh oh..."


    Lilian was stunned and struggled to escape, but Maverick sped her hands tightly instead.


    Hence, Maverick''s forced kiss felt demanding and overbearing.


    Therefore, Lilian gave up on struggling, and she could only allow Maverick to do whatever he


    wanted.


    Forget it!


    She would just let him do whatever he wanted then!


    At this thought, Lilian gave up on resisting, which made Maverick angry.


    Did she feel ufortable when she was around him?


    They were clearly in love, and he wasn''t the one who had killed her whole family. So, why should he


    take the me for it?


    Yes, why was she ming him for this?


    At this thought, Maverick suddenly let go of Lilian. He was so angry that he kicked the stool in front


    of him away, and the stool made a loud sound when it fell on the ground.


    Meanwhile, Lilian trembled with fear while she looked at how furious he was.


    After all, she had never seen him acting this emotionally!


    "Maverick..."


    "You better shut up, or I''ll really kill you!"


    Maverick suddenly turned back as he said this, and his bloodshot eyes scared Lilian.


    Hence, her face immediately took on a ghastly expression.


    Meanwhile, Maverick took a deep breath to calm himself down.


    Well, he was not angry at Lilian, but himself.


    "Why did you let Augustus go? He''s your enemy, so why do you do this? Nathaniel and Mango will


    deal with him one way or another. Hence, why did you do reveal your identity and do this yourself?"


    Maverick tried hard to calm himself down when he asked this.


    On the other hand, Lilian was slightly stunned when she heard Maverick''s question. She smiled


    bitterly and said, Heh! "Mango and Nathaniel wouldn''t let Augustus off, but they wouldn''t kill him


    either. They would hand him over to the police or the military. Then, maybe he would be killed after


    an interrogation. However, hemitted too many sins and killed so many lives, so he has no right


    to die so easily! This is the best oue for him. What if Mango and Nathaniel never got to send


    him to prison? Besides, his men mighte to rescue him as well! It would be a lot harder to catch


    Augustus next time, right? I''ve already waited for twelve years for this! I used to dream about how


    my loved ones would be crying and asking me to get revenge every night. s! I''m already thirty,


    and I don''t have much time left, so I can''t wait any longer."


    As Lilian spoke, her tears began to flow.


    "Do you know how I felt when I was sent to you as a gift at the age of 18? How could I serve my


    enemy''s son and live without dignity? Urgh! Do you know how tough it was?" "I do!


    Maverick''s eyes suddenly darkened, but Lilian was stunned when she heard what he had said.


    "Huh? What do you know? You don''t know anything!"
