Chapter 576 The United Front
As the saying went, birds of a feather flocked together. And it was true. Gunner and Maxwell belonged
to the same kind of people to a substantial extent. But Gunner looked milder, while Maxwell was more
ruthless.
When Gunner finished speaking, he found Faye kept staring at him in silence, so he smiled, "You don''t
believe me?"
Faye said lightly, "Andy, call Maxwell."
Gunner said, "Yes! Call him!"
Hearing this, Andy took out his phone and dialed Maxwell''s number. But no one answered the call after
the phone had rung for a long time.
Andy said, "Madam, he did not answer."
Faye smiled and said, "I see."
Hearing this, Lance was gearing up. He deliberately moved his wrists in front of Gunner and made his
joints rattle.
Gunner was a young master of a wealthy family and had been pampered since childhood, so he had
never been beaten. Now, he wanted to exin but had no evidence, so he could only helplessly say, "I
swear what I said is true."
Lance said, "You swear?"
Gunner nodded, "Yeah, I swear."
Lance tutted, "Do you think we are ying house with you? We are all adults. But you are trying to fool
us by swearing? If the police suspect you of murder, will they let you go when you tell them you did not
do it?"
Gunner fell silent.
Lance mocked, "Do you think they will praise you for swearing sincerely and believe you''re innocent?"
Gunner was speechless.
Lance was incredibly good at making sly digs at others. He did not use rude words but could hit
people''s pain points heavily. As he finished speaking, the air froze for a few seconds. When he was
about to punch Gunner, thetter suddenly said, "Call him with my phone! Call his private number!"
Lance stopped his punch in time, turned his head to look at Faye, and asked, "What should I do?"
Faye said, "Use his phone to call Maxwell."
Lance nodded and frisked Gunner. After finding the phone, he squatted in front of him to ask for the
password and Maxwell''s private number.
After a few minutes, the call was finally answered, and Maxwell asked in a weak voice on the other end

of the phone, "What''s wrong?"
Hearing his voice, Lance raised his hand and pped Gunner on the back of the head.
Gunner gasped in pain before saying, "You sound weird. What happened?"
Maxwell replied, "I got beaten severely just now."
Gunner said, "I am calling to tell you that everything is fine here."
Hearing this, Maxwell kept silent for a moment and then burst intoughter, asking, "You were caught?"
Gunner was speechless.
Maxwell said with a smirk, "Give the phone to Faye."
Since Maxwell had found it out, Gunner gave up hiding it. He simply leaned against the wall and said
Maxwell smiled mockingly, "If you don''t take the initiative to provoke her, she won''t kill you."
Gunner snapped, "Beauty in eyes, friends off mind!"
Then, Lance stood up and handed Faye the phone.
She took it over and said coldly, "Hi, Maxwell."
Maxwell teased, "Gunner is my friend, and I sent him over to protect you. Don''t misunderstand.
Although he looks a bit wretched, he is a good person."
Faye sneered, "I don''t think a good guy would hire people to pick the lock of my door in the middle of
the night!"
Hearing this, Maxwell paused for a second before repeating, "He hired people to pick the lock of your
door in the middle of the night?"
Faye sneered in response.
Maxwell said, "Kill him. Don''t consider my feelings."
When Maxwell finished speaking, Faye kept silent, but Gunner who was leaning against the wall in the
corner sat up and cursed, "Maxwell, are you still a human? I risked my life for you, but you let her kill
me?"
Maxwell sneered, "She is a pretty woman, after all. I''m trying to help. Believe me, you won''t want to be
killed by Colin."
Gunner snapped, "I should have worked for Brandon instead of you. I am such a bad judge of
character!"
Lance thought his swears were too annoying, so he shoved the cloth into his mouth again. Gunner
red at him but was unable to utter a word.
When Maxwell heard Gunner suddenly fall silent, he was not anxious but said in a rare serious tone,
"Don''t worry. I have reached a cooperation agreement with Colin, so I will not do anything treacherous.
Gunner''s family has a widework of contacts in Bomsville, so Brandon will not hurt him easily. You
will be safer if you let him stay by your side."
Faye asked, "Why should I trust you?"
Maxwell chuckled, "Faye, it is not because I care about you that I sent him to protect you. I did it for my
own sake. Only if you''re safe will Colin continue cooperating with me."
