Chapter 150


    At half past ten that night, the charity g at Gardens Hotel finally came to an end.


    As Samantha was walking toward the entrance, she nced sideways at the man beside her.


    He remained as aloof as ever, with an inextricable fury between his brows.


    Samantha felt slightly curious when she thought about how Maverick had just pretended to be


    aggrieved and weak in front of Gwendolyn.


    “At first, I thought you had changed, but it turns out that you only changed how you behave in front of a


    certain someone. I’m really curious. Are you just putting on an act before her? Or, have you truly fallen


    for her?”


    Maverick walked nobly in an upright posture with his expensive suit. It was as if he hadn’t heard her as


    he continued walking without a word.


    Despite being ignored, Samantha did not feel embarrassed. She continued walking forward and got in


    the car with him.


    Nico sat in the middle of the two people in the back seat.


    That was because Maverick was very reluctant to sit with Samantha, so Nico was forced to be a


    human barrier between them.


    Since the car was driving at high speed, it only took eight minutes to reach the outskirts.


    They arrived at a ce where the surroundings were deste, yet the cabin before them was quite


    exquisite.


    Samantha had brought a bodyguard with her, so the four of them entered the cabin together.


    With only an oilmp lit, the lighting was dim in the cabin.


    Maverick looked around the room and noticed that the sheets, bedding, tabletops, and bedside were


    clean while also showing traces of someone living there.


    It seemed that ever since Natasha was taken out of prison, she had been living there all the while.


    When Maverick thought about that, he nced at Samantha and sneered. “I never expected the Lane


    family to have such capability as to manage to get someone out of prison without anyone noticing.”


    Samantha chuckled and replied, “Of course. She’s your sweetheart. Saving her means I’m helping you


    as well.”


    “She’s not my sweetheart,” Maverick answered without hesitation. He was sure she had never been the


    one he loved.


    At that moment, Natasha was sitting on the wooden bed, looking nothing like how she had at the


    charity g with her messy hair and crazy behavior. Apart from the injuries on her face, it was as if she


    had be apletely different person.


    Upon hearing Maverick’s negation without hesitation, Natasha wept uncontrobly.


    “Mave, why? You used to love me so much. What exactly has Gwendolyn done to you? Have you


    forgotten the promise you made to me? Have you forgotten that I saved you decades ago?”


    The moment that matter was brought up, a terrifyingly hostile aura exploded from Maverick.


    It was precisely because of that so-called promise that he had neglected Gwendolyn’s love for him over


    the years. Moreover, he had even wronged and verbally insulted her.


    Whenever he thought of the insults he had once hurled at Gwendolyn, he wished to p himself hard


    across the face.


    He lowered his head to conceal the sudden surge of guilt in his eyes, not paying attention to Natasha’s


    words.


    Nico answered for him, saying, “Ms. Mossey, Boss already knows that you’re not the girl who saved


    him back then. Don’t you think it’s quite foolish that you still bring up the matter now?”


    Natasha was stunned for a moment before she suddenly fell to her knees weakly by Maverick’s feet as


    if she was boneless.


    “Mave, you were deceived by her! It really was me who saved you back then. I was there at the scene


    of the car ident, but I was young and scared, so I didn’t rush to save you immediately. Another girl


    was first to drag you out of the car and left afterward. In the end, it was me who came forward and


    saved you. It truly was me!”


    She cried in deep sorrow earnestly, and her eyes shone with sincerity.


    Maverick remained silent.


    Samantha handed a document to him.


    “Maverick, she’s telling the truth. I sent someone to look into your past ident. If you don’t believe


    me, take a look for yourself.”


    He took it and carefully flipped through it. His cold and stern expression remained unchanged, and his


    dark eyes were as deep as a dark abyss.


    “So that’s how it was. I thought Gwendolyn was the one who saved me. It seems she lied to me.”


    Upon hearing that, Natasha breathed a sigh of relief and continued to cry. “Mave, she is such a


    despicable woman with a vicious heart. She was the one who got me into this mess. You must not let


    her get away with it!”


    Samantha agreed with her and said, “Mave, I heard that she often mistreats and torments you after you


    signed the employment contract with her. She has caused so much harm to Ms. Mossey, who is your


    lifesaver, the Wright family, and you. Don’t you want to get back at her?”


    The look in Maverick’s eyes grew increasingly dark.


    He lowered his head to browse the documents in his hand and deliberately concealed the anger in his


    eyes.


    With a cold tone, he asked, “What do you want?”


    Samantha grinned and suggested, “Why don’t we join forces? You continue to gain her trust and inform


    me of her every move. Then, we can seize the perfect opportunity to eliminate her with ourbined


    efforts.”


    “No! Don’t outright kill her!” shouted Natasha as malice gradually surfaced in her eyes. “Hand her over


    to me. She has to suffer everything I went through in prison. I want her to experience the ultimate


    torment and die with resentment in the end!”


    Maverick pursed his thin lips, showing no emotions on his face. However, his hands, which were


    hidden in his sleeves, were tightly clenched, which led to his knuckles turning pale from the pressure.


    Turning to Samantha, he asked calmly, “Why should I join forces with you if I can handle it myself?


    However, Tasha’s appearance at the charity g this time was well-nned, unlike your usual


    methods, Sammy. If you want to coborate with me, you need to show your sincerity and show me the


    value of working with you.”


    He lowered his heod to conceol the sudden surge of guilt in his eyes, not poying ottention to Notosho’s


    words.


    Nico onswered for him, soying, “Ms. Mossey, Boss olreody knows thot you’re not the girl who soved


    him bock then. Don’t you think it’s quite foolish thot you still bring up the motter now?”


    Notosho wos stunned for o moment before she suddenly fell to her knees weokly by Moverick’s feet os


    if she wos boneless.


    “Move, you were deceived by her! It reolly wos me who soved you bock then. I wos there ot the scene


    of the cor ident, but I wos young ond scored, so I didn’t rush to sove you immediotely. Another girl


    wos first to drog you out of the cor ond left ofterword. In the end, it wos me whoe forword ond


    soved you. It truly wos me!”


    She cried in deep sorrow eornestly, ond her eyes shone with sincerity.


    Moverick remoined silent.


    Somontho honded o document to him.


    “Moverick, she’s telling the truth. I sent someone to look into your post ident. If you don’t believe


    me, toke o look for yourself.”


    He took it ond corefully flipped through it. His cold ond stern expression remoined unchonged, ond his


    dork eyes were os deep os o dork obyss.


    “So thot’s how it wos. I thought Gwendolyn wos the one who soved me. It seems she lied to me.”


    Upon heoring thot, Notosho breothed o sigh of relief ond continued to cry. “Move, she is such o


    despicoble womon with o vicious heort. She wos the one who got me into this mess. You must not let


    her get owoy with it!”


    Somontho ogreed with her ond soid, “Move, I heord thot she often mistreots ond torments you ofter you


    signed the employment controct with her. She hos coused so much horm to Ms. Mossey, who is your


    lifesover, the Wright fomily, ond you. Don’t you wont to get bock ot her?”


    The look in Moverick’s eyes grew increosingly dork.


    He lowered his heod to browse the documents in his hond ond deliberotely conceoled the onger in his


    eyes.


    With o cold tone, he osked, “Whot do you wont?”


    Somontho grinned ond suggested, “Why don’t we join forces? You continue to goin her trust ond inform


    me of her every move. Then, we con seize the perfect opportunity to eliminote her with ourbined


    efforts.”


    “No! Don’t outright kill her!” shouted Notosho os molice groduolly surfoced in her eyes. “Hond her over


    to me. She hos to suffer everything I went through in prison. I wont her to experience the ultimote


    torment ond die with resentment in the end!”


    Moverick pursed his thin lips, showing no emotions on his foce. However, his honds, which were


    hidden in his sleeves, were tightly clenched, which led to his knuckles turning pole from the pressure.


    Turning to Somontho, he osked colmly, “Why should I join forces with you if I con hondle it myself?


    However, Tosho’s oppeoronce ot the chority golo this time wos well-plonned, unlike your usuol


    methods, Sommy. If you wont to colloborote with me, you need to show your sincerity ond show me the


    volue of working with you.”


    Samantha was slightly happy at being called “Sammy.”


    After pondering for a while, she felt that they needed to be honest with each other if they were to


    coborate.

    “I admit that I didn’t n everything myself this time. I was just in charge of execution. But don’t worry,


    Maverick. The person who nned everything is very meticulous and can set up traps that connect


    seamlessly. If you cooperate with us, you definitely won’t suffer any losses.”


    “Really?” He smiled faintly and asked, “So, who is that person?”


    “I can’t tell you yet, Maverick. Let’s wait until you uncover the first piece of information from Gwendolyn.


    When we can trust each other, I’ll tell you.”


    Maverick nced at Nico, and he could no longer hide the surging anger deep in his eyes.


    “No. I don’t have the patience to wait until then. I want to know it now!”


    No sooner had the words left his mouth than the bodyguard behind Samantha suddenly let out a


    muffled groan. His eyes bulged, and he clutched his neck with a hideous expression. Blood flowed out


    continuously through his fingers.


    After struggling for less than a second, the bodyguard died on the spot, copsing to the ground


    without getting up again.


    Nico, who was standing behind him, took out a tissue and gently wiped the knife in his hand, his face


    expressionless.


    The two women, Samantha and Natasha, were appalled by the sudden turn of events.


    “Mave!”


    “Maverick, what are you doing?”


    Maverick’s eyes were filled with intense hostility. He tore the documents in his hands that were the so-


    called truth before ring coldly at Natasha on the ground.


    “The truth of who saved me back then doesn’t matter anymore. Even if it was you, I’ve already repaid


    my debt of gratitude by providing you with money for your education and satisfying all your vanity. Now,


    the person I love is her, and the one I want to protect is also her. You’ve harmed her many times, so it’s


    time to settle the score.”


    Natasha copsed to the ground. She covered her mouth in disbelief as she burst into tears.


    Samantha gritted her teeth in anger. “You deliberately deceived me when you said you wanted to


    cooperate with me just now. You wanted to catch me off guard so you could kill my man, didn’t you?”


    Maverick did not deny it. Instead, he turned to Nico and instructed, “Bring them back to the vi. We’ll


    leave them to Gwendolyn. She can get even with them personally.”


    “Yes, Boss.”


    Nico took out a drug-soaked handkerchief and walked toward Samantha first.


    Samantha took two steps back and leaned against the door. Then, she let out a chuckle.


    “Maverick, do you think my backer didn’t anticipate that this would happen? Since you refuse to join


    forces, then we’ll see whether you can take us away unscathed!”
