《A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married》


 Chapter 1 Sir, Do You Have a Girlfriend?

    Chapter 1 Sir, Do You Have a Girlfriend?


    The woman''s soft waist was grabbed by a pair of powerful hands. She felt like being pressed down.


    She could feel the strength. Before she could make sounds, her lips were covered.


    However, the pleasure of pain she expected didn''te, instead, she felt her head span dizzily. Her


    upper body was pressed against the soft pillow by that force. For no reason, she was simmering with


    pain, her breast swelling with pervading gloom.


    She was still unable to make a sound.


    But this time, however, she felt her mouth was covered by a warm and dry palm.


    Then, she felt her body sank.


    Mumbling, she suddenly opened her eyes.


    What she saw was countless heads in the cabin, which depressed her a little.


    A stewardess was saying gently, "We''ll soon bending. The temperature outside is..."


    Patting her face to refresh herself, she gradually realized what she had dreamed of, her face red.


    What kind of position was she dreaming of just now?


    "Mommy, are you dreaming?"


    A soft child''s voice came into her ears.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    Dragging herself into reality, Everly Farley turned around and saw her 5-year-old son Edmond Farley


    sat at the side, blinking his big eyes at her. "I heard you talking in your dream."


    Everly was shocked, "What did I say?"


    "I didn''t hear it clearly." The boy muttered and said nothing more.


    She curled up her lips into a relieved smile.


    Over the years, she would asionally dream of that night five years ago, but she had never managed


    to see that face clearly.


    He must be a nice man.


    At least he was good-looking.


    Otherwise, how could their son look so cute?


    As the nended, they got a clearer image of the city. The little fellow turned around from the


    window, excited. "Mommy, is my daddy here?"


    Everly was lost for words. She then smiled, "Well, I can find you one."


    The little young man pouted and stopped talking. Obviously, he wasn''t happy with this answer.


    Seeing her son turning away, Everly sighed. She was guilty, no doubt. Although he never said anything,


    he should have been longing for a father.


    "When I get my work done, let''s have some fun, okay?" She leaned over and said, trying to please him,


    "You wanted toe here, didn''t you?"


    Hearing that, acting cool, Edmond snorted and said, "We''ll talk about itter."


    Everly was speechless.


    What a little young man.


    Everly had no idea how Edmond had grown into this, for they had different personalities.


    The dream reminded her. A thought popped into Everly''s mind. Was Edmond like that man, his father?


    ...


    After getting off the ne, Everly went to get her luggage. She pointed to a stool not far away and said,


    "Edmond, go sit there and wait for me. Sit right here, okay?"


    Edmond nodded and headed for the stool with his little hands in his pockets.


    Suddenly, Edmond''s eyes were lit up by a tall and strong man in a neat ck suit. It must feel safe and


    protected to be with him.


    It was never a good idea to let Everly find him a father, thought Edmond. He had to find one himself.


    Look at that man. He would do it.


    Edmond jumped off the stool and followed after him.


    ...


    "Mr. Maverick."


    Jayden followed behind with the luggage and handed Mr. Maverick the document he had just received.


    "Here is the document you want."


    Maverick Lamont just got back from Italy, and he didn''t use the VIP exit.


    Although he tried to keep a low profile with only one assistant and no bodyguards, he still managed to


    turn quite a few heads.


    Jayden whispered, "The car is waiting at the door. Mr. Will has been looking for you for several days.


    He doesn''t know that you have returned yet."


    Maverick only said "I see". When he walked to a corner, he felt someone pulling his trousers.


    He was stunned.


    Jayden didn''t expect it, either.


    Then, a clear voice of a kid came into his ears, "Excuse me, sir."


    Maverick frowned when he saw the person who was tugging at his trousers.


    A little kid was pulling his clothes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the little boy grin,


    "Do you have a girlfriend?"


    His question caught Maverick nk for a few seconds.


    Facing a question from a child who he had never met, he could not keep calm.


    Jayden nced at Maverick. His face was cold, but he didn''t seem angry.


    But the boy... Maverick found him somewhat familiar.


    "If you don''t, I can introduce one to you."


    Edmond still had his hands in his pockets, trying to act cool, pride flowing out from his little face, "My


    mommy, she''s a very beautiful and good woman."


    Jayden was shocked. Were all the kids so mature now?


    Finding his mother a date?


    Something moved in his eyes. He squatted down and patted Edmond''s head, saying, "Alright, if we


    meet again, we''ll see if it can work."


    Now Jayden was ck-jawed.

 Chapter 2 We Meet Again, Sir

    Chapter 2 We Meet Again, Sir


    When Everly got her luggage and was about to meet up with the people who came to pick them up


    from thepany, she found that her son was missing.


    She freaked out. Although her son was highly intelligent with a good sense of direction, he had just


    She scurried to the airport staff for help, carefully described Edmond''s height and appearance, as well


    as his attire...


    "Mommy!"


    Her heart jumped to her throat at Edmond''s voice.


    She looked back and saw Edmond walking towards her from not far


    There was a stranger following him.


    She turned pale, pulling her son over and examining him carefully. After she saw that he was all right,


    she let out a sigh of relief. "What is the matter with you? Do you know I''m freaked out?"


    Although Edmond was young, he was very observant. He quickly soothed her in a sweet voice,


    "Mommy, I''ve grown up. I''m fine."


    The man standing behind Edmond stepped forward.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The man smiled and looked at her strangely. "Are you the child''s mother? Although it is safer here than


    abroad, you have to take good care of the child. Since he has found you, I''ll be off."


    Although Everly was puzzled, she heard kindness in his words and said, "Thank you."


    "You''re wee." Jayden nodded and then turned to leave.


    Everly was furious because she was worried. "Tell me where you went."


    Unexpectedly, her son said with contempt, "Mommy, you were not worried to leave me alone in the US.


    Why are you worried back at home?"


    Everly was lost for words.


    "I just saw a very handsome man." Edmond wasn''t a very talkative child, and it was rare of him to


    praise other men.


    Everly took him towards the exit and casually asked, "Really? How handsome?"


    Edmond said proudly, "A little more handsome than me."


    Everly couldn''t help butugh, "You like to brag!"


    However, she thought her son was very handsome.


    After they met the people sent by thepany to pick them up, they went straight to the hotel.


    After they checked in, Everly began to work.


    Garry Ingram, the assistant appointed by thepany to work with her, handed her the iPad and


    yed a video.


    "Everly, please take a look at this first. We have only signed a letter of intent, and nothing has been


    finalized. The investor suddenly changed the manager. Theirpany is going through an internal


    restructuring, and I''m afraid there will be some changes."


    It was a video clip, in which arge group of reporters surrounded a tall man.


    Standing in the middle of the crowd, the man was expressionless in the shes from the cameras.


    Through the screen, one could feel the grim ferocity deep in his clear and calm eyes.


    His face was good-looking with aloof distance, but he had overwhelming masculine charm.


    He carried a cold and gloomy air, which was intimidating.


    Maverick Lamont was a well-known name.


    He was famous abroad, not to mention that he was worshiped in City C.


    Before he returned to Lamont Group in City C, he was an investor with unique insight, and the projects


    that he chosen made absolute profits.


    Justst month, the hundred-year-old family business in Sweden was swallowed up by him overnight.


    One could imagine how brutal this man was in the business world.


    However, the rtionships within the Lamonts wereplex, which must be in turmoil presently.


    At the end of the video clip, the man says, "No. I''m determined to get what I want."


    Everly''s eyelids twitched slightly. When this man said no, he was like a sharp sword out of its sheath,


    restrained but proud. His confidence and determination could not be concealed.


    Maverick was her rival this time.


    Edmond saw Everly busy at work, yawning in boredom. "Mommy, I''m going out to buy ice cream. My


    phone is located."


    Edmond had known his mind since he was small. When they were in US, he could take good care of


    himself when Everly was busy with her work.


    Everly knew that he must be curious about everything back home, but she could not spare time to


    apany him. She had been discussing work with Garry, and her son might be bored.


    She agreed, "Come back in half an hour. Do you know the way? If anything happens to you, call me


    right away."


    "Okay. I got it." As he spoke, the little fellow opened the door and disappeared swiftly


    *


    Maverick stood by the elevator with one hand in his trousers pocket.


    The double doors of the elevator opened with a tickle. Just as he was about to enter, he saw a small


    figure leaning against the corner of the elevator.


    Maverick narrowed his eyes.


    However, those small eyes abruptly lit up.


    "Sir?"


    There seemed to be delight and surprise in his voice. "What a coincidence! We meet again."


    It was indeed a coincidence.


    Maverick nced at him and hesitated for a moment before he said, "Are you alone?"


    "I''m with my mommy." The little fellow replied quickly, as if he didn''t have the slightest sense of self-


    protection, giving away the details. "Sir, are you staying at this hotel? What a coincidence! Mommy and


    I stay here as well."

    Chapter 3 The Same Taste


    "Is that so?" Maverick reached out and straightened his cor, entering the elevator.


    He took a few nces at the child, who was almost up to his waist. Although the child''s eyes were pure


    and clean, Maverick thought he should put on his guard. After all, people would resort to any method in


    order to achieve their goals.


    However, the child in front of him was about the same age as his precious little princess, and even his


    eyes were the same as hers.


    Maverick was disarmed by the eyes.


    The child excited his attention for no reason. "Youe out alone. Aren''t you afraid to meet bad


    guys?"


    Edmond blinked, "I met you, sir. You are a good person."


    Maverickughed, "How do you know I''m a good person?"


    Edmond asked in reply, "Sir, how can I be as cool, handsome, and rich as you are?"


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Maverick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want to be like me?"


    "Because you look so powerful. I want to protect my mommy."


    Maverick couldn''t help smiling. "I didn''t know that you are a reliable little man."


    "Of course!"


    His tone and eyes...


    Maverick was dazed for a moment. The more he looked at the child, the more he felt him familiar. This


    child had exactly the same eyes as his daughter Candy.


    "It''s not safe for you to wander around alone in the hotel. I''ll take you back to my room first, and I''ll get


    the hotel staff to contact your mother to pick you up." As soon as he finished speaking, Maverick was


    startled by himself.


    He had never cared about things not concerning him, and most of the time he was even cold and


    heartless.


    Now, he actually blurted out such words.


    Besides, he didn''t like anyone to disturb his privacy. This was just a child that he had met twice.


    However, he had said those words, and he could not go back on them.


    Edmond''s eyes immediately lit up, nodding. "Okay."


    Maverick could not go back on his words when he saw the child''s expectant face.


    He brought the boy into his room.


    Maverick had work to do, so he asked his assistant to get a ss of juice for Edmond and he went to


    the study and made phone calls.


    Edmond sat quietly, but he couldn''t help looking with curiosity at the furnishings of the room.


    This hotel was owned by Lamont Group, most of which was taken over by Maverick.


    He stayed here for the time being because he didn''t want to see the Lamonts.


    This room was his private residence, which he had frequented in the past few months, so he put quite a


    few private collections here.


    After Maverick finished his work and came out of the small study, he saw the little fellow staring


    motionlessly at a rare wooden model he had collected. There was obvious longing in the child''s eyes,


    but he did not reach out to get it. Instead, he just sat quietly and stared intently.


    Maverick raised his eyebrows.


    Although the child''s parents did not seem to pay much attention to him, allowing him to wander around,


    it was not hard to tell that he was refined and self-possessed.


    Maverick was in a good mood. He strode up and took the model. "Do you like it?"


    Edmond held the juice in his hand and nodded earnestly, "Sir, I like it very much, but it seems hard to


    buy. Mommy bought me a few."


    He pointed at the model with his chubby finger and said, "I know it''s rare."


    Maverick was taken aback. They had simr taste. KK models had been popr for a few years. They


    were made with first-ss carving crafts and were expensive. Normally people bought them for


    collection. Such a young child could not possibly take them as toys, let alone admire them.


    As a cautious man, he got suspicious. He ran across this child twice in a day, and they had the same


    taste. Was it a trick to approach him with a child?


    But those eyes.


    He felt that eyes would not lie.


    In the end, the eyes identical to Candy''s put suspicions out of his head.


    Maverick sat on the sofa and leaned forward slightly. He handed the model to Edmond and said, "I


    couldn''t tell that you know much about it. Why do you like these models?"


    "Because other kids don''t like them."


    Edmond said, "When Mommy and I were abroad, other kids kept bullying me because I had no father.


    The toys I liked to y with would always be snatched away. Later on, I saw this and liked it very much.


    When I had the first model, other kids wouldn''te and take it because they didn''t like it. But I did,


    and liked it even more, the more I looked at it."


    Maverick was surprised. Such a sensible child didn''t have a father?


    He grew up abroad. No wonder he was precocious.


    Maverick had a very strange feeling. The child said with a clear voice that he had no father, and kids


    kept bulling him and snatching his toys abroad. He knew it had nothing to do with him, but he could not


    help feeling a dull pain at his heart.


    He frowned and stood up, saying, "I''ll give you this rare model as a gift."


    Edmond was exhrated. "Really?"


    "Yes."


    "But I want your contact information." Edmond held the model and asked for more.


    "Why?" Maverick looked at him with a faint smile.


    "Of course I like to introduce my mother to you. Do you remember what I told you at the airport? You


    said that if fate brought us together again, you would give me your number."


    Maverick was unruffled. "I did tell you that I don''t have a girlfriend, but I have a fianc¨¦e."


    Maverick felt he had gone so far as to bring the child to his room and give him toys, and he couldn''t


    give him his contact number.


    Although he felt intimate with the child, he was not sure what kind of parents he had.


    "Come on. Your mother should be worried. I''ll ask my assistant to send you back."


    He took out his phone and called Jayden.


    Edmond''s face was filled with disappointment.


    However, the handsome man was busy looking at the iPad. Edmond pouted his lips, but he shut up


    docilely as he was sensible.

 Chapter 4 Are You Just Gonna Stare at Me?

    Chapter 4 Are You Just Gonna Stare at Me?


    After sending Garry away, Everly looked at the time. Edmond wasn''t back yet.


    She decided to call Edmond. Then a voice came from the elevator. It sounded like Edmond. "There."


    Everly put away her phone. She left the room key in the room. So, she leaned against the door to keep


    it open while waiting for Edmond.


    Not long after, Edmond came out of the corner with a tall man.


    When Edmond saw Everly at the door, he immediately ran over. "Mommy."


    Everly couldn''t help but look at the man behind Edmond.


    She seemed to have met him at the airport.


    Everly hadn''t seen the man clearly at the airport. Now that she looked closely at his face, she felt she


    might have seen him somewhere else. But she couldn''t remember it.


    This man dressed like an executive in thepany.


    "Mommy, this uncle brings me back." Edmond was very polite. He turned to the man and said, "Uncle


    Jayden, thank you for sending me back."


    But Jayden thought to himself, "Thisdy can''t even take good care of her son."


    He didn''t know if Everly did it on purpose. But how did she manage to appear in front of Mr. Maverick


    twice in a day?


    And she lived in the same hotel.


    Jayden couldn''t help but think that Everly did it on purpose.


    He nodded slightly to greet Everly. Then he turned around and left.


    Everly had been in the workce for many years. She could tell what Jayden was thinking from his


    eyes.


    So, she pulled Edmond into the room, put her hands on her waist and questioned him, "Where did you


    go?"


    "I went out for a walk." There was a model in Edmond''s hand.


    "What is this?" Everly took it from his hand.


    Holy. It was the model that Edmond wanted so much.


    "Where did you get it?" Everly was very worried that Edmond might steal it.


    But Edmond looked very pleased. "I just met a handsome man. He bought it for me."


    "Who?"


    That man must have a taste as unique as Edmond. He even bought such an expensive model for


    Edmond.


    "You don''t know him. I''ll introduce you to himter." Edmond took the model back and raised his


    eyebrows. "Mommy, don''t work on theputer all day long. There are handsome guys out there. He


    can protect you. I will introduce him to you."


    Everly was speechless.


    She wanted to ask further, but her phone rang. Edmond took the opportunity to escape and carefully


    hid the model. Then, he walked towards the bathroom, humming out of tune.


    Everlyughed and went to the balcony to answer the phone.


    It was Brielle Cooper, her boss in the US.


    After hearing Brielle''s words, Everly frowned slightly. "Brielle, does thepany arrange it?"


    "No! We''re just lucky! Now that you two stay in the same hotel, it''s pretty convenient for you. I''ve got


    Maverick''s room number." Brielle sighed, "Everly, I''ve got the news. They''ve cut 30% of our profits. It''s


    a big blow to us."


    What?


    They demanded such a low price?


    Everly bit her lips and hesitated. "But it''s improper to get to a man''s room at night."


    "What are you worrying about? You send him our proposal. I didn''t ask you to sleep with him."


    Everly wanted to say something, but Brielle continued before she opened her mouth. "Don''t think too


    much. It''s always difficult to promote projects now. The Lamont Group wanted to cut 30%, but I think


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    that they are very likely to change their mind. They don''t care about thepensation. And you know,


    they''re the best option for our project."


    Brielle had always treated Everly well, so Everly agreed in the end.


    Putting away her phone, Everly stood on the balcony and enjoyed the breeze for a while.


    After so many years, Everly finally returned to this city. She did not tell anyone that she was back.


    However, her brother wouldn''t let her stay outside for a long time. The Farleys would find her soon.


    Everly wasn''t afraid to face them. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have brought Edmond back.


    After thinking for a while, Everly decided to finish her work now. After the project was done, she could


    apply for a transfer back to China.


    After eating something, Everly took Edmond to bed. Everly followed Brielle''s instructions and went to


    Maverick''s room.


    When she went up, she was thinking if there would be bodyguards at the door. And she did see two tall


    men in ck standing there.


    Everly bit her lips as she thought how to drive them away and knock on the door.


    Everly pondered for a few minutes, and a light went off in her mind.


    She took out her phone and called Garry, who hade to pick her up at the airport. She wanted


    Garry to call the receptionist of the hotel.


    Garry asked, "What should I say?"


    "Just tell her that there are reporters downstairs. And some of them areing up from the back


    stairs," Everly said, "When the bodyguards know it, they will go to check it. I can knock on the door


    after they leave."


    "Wow, Everly, you''re so smart. But I think Maverick will get mad."


    "Don''t mind about it. We need to see him and show him our proposal first."


    "That makes sense."


    About five minutester, the two bodyguards at the door moved.


    It was said that Maverick didn''t get along well with the other Lamonts. Now that he had taken over the


    Lamont Group, he used strong-armed methods to throw many senior executives out of power.


    Therefore, he did not live at the Lamont''s. And he went everywhere with his bodyguards.


    As Everly expected, a bodyguard walked to the elevator, and the other one headed to the back stairs.


    Everly immediately ran to the room.


    She was going to knock on the door when someone happened to open it from inside.


    So, she failed to take her hand back in time.


    Coincidentally, her hand fell and hit the man''s chest.


    Everly was stunned and took her hand back as if she got an electric shock.


    Their eyes met.


    Everly gave up staring at him first.


    Because she blushed and almost couldn''t breathe.


    The man got wet ck hair. He was almost half naked. He had an excellent body and beefy pecs.


    Because he just took a shower, water was flowing down his body.


    Everly''s gaze followed the water droplet down.


    She saw the towel on the man''s waist, his muscle line, and....


    "Are you just gonna stare at me?"

 Chapter 5 Talk Business with Me in Bed?

    Chapter 5 Talk Business with Me in Bed?


    Maverick sounded distressed and irritated.


    Everly wanted to snap her gaze back, but she really didn''t know where to look.


    In the end, she looked straight at his cold face.


    Maverick was very handsome with his features strongly marked. But Everly could tell that he was very


    cold and aloof from such a distance.


    Now she had to think again before she spoke.


    "Mr. Maverick."


    Everly realized that he was giving her an icy re. Her eyes shed as she hurriedly said, "I''m so


    sorry. I...."


    "I don''t need any special services."


    The man interrupted Everly in a deep voice.


    Everly was stunned. She immediately defended herself. "I''m sorry. But Mr. Maverick, I''m here to do


    business."


    Seeing that his bodyguards both disappeared, Maverick narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.


    Then he said in a mocking tone, "Youe to my room at night and prepare to do business on my


    bed?"


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    But Maverick was about to close the door, so Everly just put her exnation aside. She was humiliated,


    and she would not give up until she achieved her goal.


    With her agility, she had her foot wedged in the door and grabbed the handle with both hands. "Mr.


    Maverick, just give me five minutes."


    "That''s enough for you?" Maverick pressed down on the door with one hand. He could feel her strength


    on the door. He snorted and mocked, "You don''t look like you''ll get satisfied so easily."


    Everly had also seen many investors with unsavory character.


    But Maverick was so mean.


    Everly could only take a deep breath and try to ignore his insult. "Mr. Maverick, I know you''re a big


    man. I shouldn''t be so rude. I...."


    "But you still did it."


    "Mr. Maverick...."


    "What makes you think that if you disturb my rest, I will listen to your nonsense?"


    "I''m not talking nonsense."


    "Yes, you are."


    Everly was lost for words.


    "Take your hand away. I won''t be responsible for the injury on it."


    Maverick was going to close the door hard. Everly knew that there was a huge disparity in strength


    between men and women. But now she was standing on a cliff. There was no other choice for her!


    If Maverick closed the door, it would be impossible for Everly to see him again.


    Everly gritted her teeth and tried to slip her legs into the room. At the same time, she reached to touch


    Maverick''s chest.


    Perhaps she was too bold, and Maverick had not expected it.


    Everly was right. Such a lofty man like Maverick must hate being touched by strangers, so he tried to


    dodge her hand.


    Then Everly took the opportunity to squeeze into the room.


    However, she had forgotten that it was an automatic door. Even if Maverick did not touch it, the door


    would close itself.


    So, Everly got stuck by the door.


    ...


    Everly snorted in pain.


    And she was startled by her own voice.


    When she realized what kind sound she had made, her face flushed with embarrassment. She


    immediately backed down, not knowing what to do.


    Maverick''s eyes shed. He was so handsome and cold at the same time.


    The warm yellow light in the hallway could not soften his ferocity. He stepped back as he narrowed his


    eyes and stared at Everly like that.


    And he exactly gazed at her slightly deformed chest that had been squeezed by the door.


    Everly was flustered. "You! Don''t look at it!"


    "Are you sure that you don''t want me to see it? After all, you''re such a drama queen."


    Everly''s heart beat wildly and her voice was trembling. "Of course not!"


    She realized that she couldn''t just stand here. It was very bad. And the damn door was pressing down


    on her chest.


    Suddenly, Maverick saw something and grabbed her shoulder.


    Everly was still stuck when she was dragged in the room. Then she heard the door mming.


    She was pressed against the cold door. In front of her was Maverick''s handsome face that was so


    close to her.


    He put his arms on both sides of her. She could feel his breathing.


    In that instant, Maverick''s eyes glinted. A scene shed through his mind. Everly was leaning against


    his body. He could even smell her scent.


    Maverick narrowed his eyes. He was taller than Everly, so he needed to look down at her in his arms.


    No wonder he felt that she was a little different just now. It was her.


    "You...."


    Everly took a swallow and closed her mouth, as if she bit her tongue.


    She could smell Maverick''s scent. He just took a bath and seemed to have a unique smell. Coupled


    with his hormones, it enveloped Everly and tempted her.


    "What''s your name?" Maverick said.


    As he spoke, Everly could feel his breathing on her face. Some strands of ck hair were hanging on


    his forehead, with water on its tail, as if it would drip into Everly''s eyes at any moment.


    The atmosphere turned a little weird.


    Everly felt as if everything was slowed down.


    Maverick was so sexy.


    "Everly," She replied, "Everly Farley."


    Obviously, Maverick was not interested in the exact word. He asked, "Where did you work?"


    "LAL."


    Maverick remembered it and raised his eyebrows. "LAL did sign a letter of intent with the Lamont


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Group. But that was not my decision."


    Everly''s heart sank. Did it mean that he cleaned up the office and cancelled all the decisions before?


    "Mr. Maverick, I brought our proposal with me. Can you spare some time to take a look?"


    "Why would I?" Maverick asked mockingly.


    Everly was choked on his words. She felt that he really did not like her. And it was not because of the


    work. She didn''t know why, but women''s sixth sense told her this.


    Was she taking it wrong?

 Chapter 6 You Want Me to Get Really into It?

    Chapter 6 You Want Me to Get Really into It?


    Everly felt that she was thinking too much.


    Everyone knew that Maverick was difficult to get along with.


    She tried to calm down. "Then why did you drag me in?"


    "I thought you really want toe in."


    "Yes. I''m in the room now. Can you look at our proposal?"


    "I don''t talk business after work. You are quite bold when you came to my room. Do you know that I can


    call the police and arrest you?" Maverick said with a strange halfugh. He didn''t seem to be that cold


    and fierce now, but he was still very intimidating.


    Everly thought for a while before saying, "If you thought so, you should have done it. You must pull me


    in for a reason."


    "You''re not that stupid." Maverick looked down at her and flicked her head with his slender fingers.


    Everly got a strange feeling. Her tongue clove to the roof of her mouth, and she forgot to breathe.


    She seemed to hear footsteps outside the door.


    Because they were standing next to the door, they could hear it clearly.


    A vague thought crossed her mind. But before she could figure out what was going on, Maverick, who


    was suppressing her, whispered, "Say something."


    Everly was stunned. Her mind went nk for an instant. "What?"


    Maverick leaned over. They had been very close. When he leaned over, Everly could feel that his thin


    lips almost touched her earlobes. She couldn''t help but tremble.


    "Say something." Maverick lowered his voice and sounded sexier. "Just like we''re having sex. Can''t


    you do it?"


    Everly had never been so intimate with anyone in her whole life, and she had only met Maverick once.


    Yet he wanted her to pretend that they were having sex.


    She just felt embarrassed and humiliated.


    However, she was tempted before and her legs were trembling. Even her chest was rising and falling


    rapidly.


    The apple of Maverick''s throat bobbed as he felt blood was rushing to his head. He frowned and his


    thin lips got closer to Everly. "You''re so sensitive."


    "You must be very good at it."


    "Say something." He said impatiently, "Hurry up if you want to talk about the cooperationter."


    Threats?


    At the same time, the doorbell rang.


    Everly finally understood it. Someone was looking for Maverick. Maverick didn''t want to see the person,


    but he couldn''t break the rtionship. Therefore, he wanted to drive the person away in this way.


    She swallowed and tried to say slowly, "I''ll help you, and you''ll invest in our projects."


    Maverick''s eyes shed. "Let''s see if you''re worth it, Miss Everly. If you don''t say anything, you won''t


    even get a chance."


    Everly ignored him, closed her eyes, and groaned.


    She had a very sweet and cajoling voice.


    She didn''t look like a young girl, but her voice was still very soft.


    She just groaned and sounded like she got no experience before. But it made people''s imagination run


    wild.


    Maverick didn''t realize that he was staring at her with desire.


    He used to have great self-control. But now, he started breathing rapidly.


    Although he stood still, his eyes glinted with lust. He was like a wild beast, ready to hunt.


    "You just hum in bed?" Maverick sneered. It was uncharacteristically quiet, so he heard her wild and


    loud heartbeats. "Miss Everly, are you trying to pretend that you haven''t slept with anyone?"


    He was whispering in her ears.


    Everly flushed. She should be angry, but Maverick was so close to her. Smelling his scent and


    trembling, she felt that her strength was draining away.


    "Do you want me to teach you again? You want to know what to say in my bed?" Maverick continued.


    Everly thought. "What did he mean? Teaching me again? Pretending that I haven''t slept with anyone?"


    Everly felt that something was wrong, but she was so dumbfounded that she didn''t have time to think


    about it.


    The doorbell rang rapidly again. The person outside seemed to get impatient.


    Her forehead was covered with cold sweat. Maverick only wanted her to say something so that the


    person outside could leave. But now he just wanted to tease her.


    Why was she so nervous?


    Was she faking it?


    Even her neck turned red.


    She got porcin skin. But now it turned so red that he was tempted.


    "Miss Everly, you want me to get really into it?"


    Everly felt that she was asking for it.


    She looked at Maverick in fear and thought to herself, "Looks like I can only do it."


    Since there was no other choice for her, Everly did not hesitate any longer. She groaned louder.


    The doorbell finally stopped, and Maverick was getting more tempted.


    It seems to have worked?


    Everly got a little confident and kept groaning.


    Maverick tightened his grip on her shoulders. He said indifferently, "Go on."


    ...


    Outside the door.


    A beautiful woman''s face flushed red, but her eyes were filled with hatred.


    She waited for a long time before clenching her hands and turning to the elevator.


    After she got in the elevator, Carolina took out her phone and called someone.


    "It''s me, Carolina Kahl. Find out who got in Mr. Maverick''s room today."


    Everly had been groaning for a long time, and her voice had be hoarse.


    Then Maverick on the sofa finally allowed her to rest.


    Everly felt so humiliated, but she could only hand over the proposal.


    Thinking of the "insult" just now, Everly bit her lips and said, "Mr. Maverick, I hope you will keep your


    word." Then she turned around and left.


    Maverick raised his head from the proposal and saw her long and straight legs, which were wrapped in


    dark gray jeans.


    She really had beautiful legs, long and straight. She was wearing high heels, which gave her a cute


    butt.


    Maverick stared at her back.


    He had recognized Everly just now. She was the woman who had slept with him back then.


    She didn''t change much. Although she was drunk and wore makeup at that time, Maverick didn''t forget


    her sexy voice in bed.


    He really missed it.


    Everly probably felt that he was staring at her.


    So, she looked back when she opened the door.


    But Maverick was looking down at the proposal.


    Everly pursed her lips. He had such a bad attitude. Forget it, she finally gave him the proposal.


    Just as Everly heaved a sigh of relief, she raised her head and saw a man and a child at the door.


    Everly was petrified.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.

 Chapter 7 You Cant Afford to Offend Maverick

    Chapter 7 You Can''t Afford to Offend Maverick


    Everly knew that she could not hide her return from anyone.


    But she didn''t expect them to find her so fast.


    Now her brother Hendrix came here with Edmond.


    And it was so embarrassing when they saw here out of a strange man''s room.


    Everly remembered that she was pressed against the door by the bastard. She even groaned loudly.


    Damn. Did they hear it?


    No, they must not!


    Everly looked at her brother and son. She just felt extremely awkward.


    Hendrix asked first, "What are you doing here?"


    But Edmond looked very happy. Before Everly replied, he took his hand back from Hendrix and ran to


    Everly. "Mommy, I saw youe out of there. Do you know the man inside?"


    Everly was stunned. Then, Hendrix pulled her and whispered, "We need a talk after going back to your


    room."


    Everly did not want to stay at the door. So, she brought them back to her room.


    After Edmond got in the room, he continued the topic. "Mommy, do you remember the handsome man I


    mentioned? I wanted to introduce you to him, but I didn''t expect you have known him. What''s his


    name?"


    Everly frowned. She seemed to remember something important.


    So, the handsome man Edmond had been talking about from the airport was Maverick upstairs?


    That was it!


    She knew that she had met the man who sent Edmond back twice. Now she finally remembered that


    he was Maverick''s right-hand man.


    What was his name?


    ...


    "Everly, I''m talking to you. What are you thinking?" Hendrix suddenly spoke, pulling Everly back to


    reality.


    Everly could almost remember the man''s name!


    It was on the tip of her tongue. But Hendrix called her and she forgot everything.


    "Hendrix. I went there for work."


    Everly continued, "But how did you know I was back so soon?"


    "If I didn''te, would you just return to the US after you finish your so-called work?"


    Hendrix was unhappy as he sorted his cor.


    Only then did Everly notice that Hendrix was dressed in a suit. His ck hair wasbed well. It was


    obvious that he came here from a meeting or a dinner party.


    Everly turned to look at Edmond. "Edmond, you told him?"


    Edmond made a grimace. "He called me, so I said told him."


    Hendrix rubbed Edmond''s head and said softly, "Edmond, do you want to go home tomorrow to see


    grandfather and grandmother?"


    Edmond thought for a moment. "Uncle Hendrix, can I stay here?"


    "Of course," Hendrix said, "But your grandfather hasn''t seen you in years. You might want to see him


    tomorrow. He''s going to have a surgery."


    Everly was about to drink water when she heard this. Then she stopped. "What happened to Dad?"


    Hendrix looked at her. "He has heart attacks all the time. He''ll take a bypass surgery in a few days.


    Don''t make Dad angry again. He has been hoping that youe back."


    Everly fell silent.


    Edmond was a little kid. He had been asking about Maverick upstairs. But due to jetg, he fell asleep


    soon. Everly put Edmond on the bed and asked Hendrix, "Then I''ll go to the hospital tomorrow?"


    Hendrix agreed. He looked around and then said, "You can also move back home tomorrow. What


    projects did you bring back this time?"


    Everly said, "I can handle it. I didn''t tell you before, because I didn''t want to make things difficult for


    you."


    Hendrix sneered, "So you went to Maverick upstairs for help?"


    Everly was surprised.


    Hendrix continued, "Don''t you know that this hotel belongs to the Lamont Group? You just came out of


    his room. But I heard that he went abroad earlier...."


    After a pause, Hendrix asked, "Is he back?"


    Everly was a little guilty. Hendrix was giving her a searching look.


    Everly thought for a moment and said seriously, "Hendrix, I really don''t know. My boss said that


    Maverick was living in that room. When I went in, I gave his assistant our proposal."


    "Really?"


    "Of course. Why are you looking at me like that?"


    "Alright. Just don''t cross the line." Hendrix stood up and thought for a moment before saying, "Don''t


    mess with Maverick anyway. I have to go back now. I''ll pick you up tomorrow morning."


    Don''t mess with Maverick?


    Everly sent Hendrix away. She stood in the bathroom in a daze. Then she sighed when she looked at


    herself in the mirror. In fact, she was not thinking about Maverick now. She just couldn''t make up her


    mind.


    Should she return to the US or stay here?


    Perhaps because of jetg, Everly did not sleep well.


    Tossing and turning, she was awake until the early hours of the morning. Then she started to dream.


    She had been having the same dream for years.


    She was sweating, and the man above her was all sweaty as well.


    In the end, the sweat seemed to drip into her eyes.


    This had never happened in her dreams before.


    Everly was frightened. She knew that she was dreaming, but she couldn''t wake up. She felt as if she


    was going to lose control.


    The face that she could not see in the dreams suddenly swam in focus at thest moment.


    Everly suddenly sat up, her chest heaving. She touched her face, which was covered with sweat.


    But she could not calm down.


    She saw that face in her dream.


    It was Maverick.


    Was she crazy?


    Everly shivered.


    She almost got a PTSD because of what happened yesterday!


    ...


    The next day, Hendrix picked Edmond up first.


    Hendrix answered his phone at the gate of the hospital. But when he turned around, he couldn''t see


    Edmond anywhere.


    Children were all curious. Edmond was staying beside the car and waiting for Hendrix. But suddenly,


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    he saw a little girl sitting in a red toy car not far away.


    It was a huge toy car. The little girl looked to be about his age. She looked so proud when she sat in it.


    Edmond couldn''t help but chase after the toy car.


    But he walked too fast. Just as the girl reached the corner, she failed to control the steering wheel


    properly. When she turned around, the toy car rushed straight towards Edmond.


    Edmond was very calm, but the little girl in the toy car was shouting.


    "Hey, hey, get out of the way!"

 Chapter 8 Candy Cried

    Chapter 8 Candy Cried


    Children''s calmness was more or less pretended.


    When Edmond saw such a big car crashing straight into him, he was shocked.


    When the front of the car touched his leg, Edmond''s lips turned pale.


    It hurt.


    The little girl stopped the toy car, so Edmond wasn''t seriously injured.


    Edmond looked up, seeing the little girl get out of the car.


    She was like a real princess.


    Her facial features were exquisite.


    And her cheeks were a little chubby.


    Especially her big eyes were filled with energy.


    ...


    When Edmond was abroad, all his friends were foreigners.


    Seeing such a delightful Chinese girl, he swallowed all hisints.


    The girl looked quite cute.


    "I''m sorry."


    The little girl apologized. Her pair of big eyes seemed to contain starlight.


    She would not fail to win other''s affection.


    However, Edmond was a little arrogant. He snorted, "Don''t drive without a driver''s license. You were so


    careless. Now that you hit me, an apology is definitely not enough."


    When Candy heard it, her eyes immediately turned red with anxiety, "This is just a toy car."


    After a pause, she added, "We are both children. Children can''t take the driver''s license exam."


    "Since you know that you''re a child, you can''t drive."


    "But this is a toy car."


    "You''ve injured me."


    Candy paused. She blinked her eyes pitifully and took two steps forward. She reached out her hand


    and pulled Edmond''s clothes gingerly. Then she said softly, "Does it hurt? I''ll give you some sweets."


    As Candy spoke, she took out a toffee sweet from her pocket and offered it to Edmond like a treasure.


    "The candy is especially delicious and sweet, just like my name. I''m Candy. What''s your name?"


    "I don''t like sweets."


    Edmond showed slight disgust. "Look at you. Your front teeth are all gone. You must have had a lot of


    candy. You are ugly."


    "...."


    Candy''s eyes were wide open. It was probably the first time she had been called an ugly girl.


    She felt wronged, and her big eyes seemed to be wet.


    "You...."


    She seemed to be on the verge of tears.


    Girls were really troublesome.


    Edmond thought to himself. Holding back his anger, he whispered, "Forget it. I don''t feel any pain. Be


    careful."


    Candy''s eyes lit up in a sh.


    She seemed to want to say something else, but not far away came waves of shouts, "... Miss Candy,


    where are you?"


    Edmond also heard it. Probably because he noticed Candy''s strange expression, he raised his small


    eyebrows and asked, "Are they looking for you?"


    Candy nodded meekly. "Can you give me your contact information? I''m so sorry for bumping into you


    today. I''ll share ice cream with you next time."


    "Don''t eat such sweet things as candy or ice creams, or you will be fat." Edmond taught her like


    an adult.


    "Is that true? I will eat fewer sweet snacks. By the way, what''s your name?"


    ''My name is Edmond....''


    Edmond held his tongue. Suddenly he thought of something and changed the topic. "If we are destined


    to meet again, I will tell you."


    Edmond felt that he was as cool as that handsome middle-aged uncle!


    When Hendrix finally found his nephew, Edmond, he discovered that Edmond was standing beside a


    huge toy car.


    Hendrix med. "Edmond, you must tell uncle when you walk away next time. If you run around like


    this, I will be frightened."


    Edmond pointed at the toy car. "A girl forgot to take this toy car with her."


    "Where is she?" Hendrix was shocked.


    "Her family took her away." Edmond thought of the scene he had just seen. Candy should be from a


    wealthy family.


    However, the woman holding Candy was not particrly good-looking.


    She was far less beautiful than Edmond''s mom.


    Moreover, that woman was impatient. When she saw Candy, she used Candy of running around.


    She was fierce!


    "Then what about this stuff?" Hendrix nced at the toy car and said, "It looks like it''s worth a lot. I


    think that girl wille back to find it. Let''s put it in the lost property."


    Edmond followed his uncle and put the toy car in the hospital''s lost property.


    **


    When Everly arrived at the hospital, she couldn''t help but sigh.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned home, her father happened to have an operation.


    For so many years in the United States, of course, Everly had been missing her family.


    However, when she really came back, she felt a little timid.


    Everly''s family was quite well-off.


    Her father, Parrish, was an engineering designer when he was young.


    Her mother, Gloria, was a doctor.


    When Hendrix was in school, he didn''t like studying and always got into a fight.


    Later on, Parrish sent him to an army. After a few years of training, Hendrix was a bit different.


    After returning home, Hendrix began to create his own business. Now, his career had been on the up


    and up.


    Because the Farley family was rich, Everly''s premarital pregnancy threw a great blow to her parents.


    At that time, Parrish strongly opposed it and asked his daughter to abort the child.


    Everly firmly refused and secretly escaped from the country.


    It had indeed not been easy for Everly to raise her son in the past few years.


    However, she persevered even though she looked so weak.


    Everly braced herself up.


    No matter what, she had to face it since she had returned.


    They were her family.


    Everly was afraid that Parrish would not like Edmond. But when she arrived at the door of the ward,


    Parrish''s voice was filled with energy and could be heard clearly through the door.


    "Baby, you speak Mandarin very fluently. Who taught you that?"


    Then Edmond''s crisp voice sounded. "My mommy, of course."


    "You should call her mom. You have grown up."


    Edmond remained silent.


    Soon, Everly heard another gentle female voice. She knew that it was her mother''s.


    "Parrish, Edmond is still a little kid. Don''t be so strict."


    Parrish snorted as proudly as ever.


    Everly stood at the door and couldn''t help butugh.


    She shouldn''t have been worried that her family would reject Edmond.


    Inside, Parrish asked, "Where''s your mom?"


    Hendrix said, "I guess she ising."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Everly pushed open the door and entered.


    On the hospital bed, Parrish, who was like an old naughty boy, saw his daughter, and his eyes lit up.


    He then snorted andy down.


    Everly was rendered speechless.

 Chapter 9 Everly, Go for a Blind Date

    Chapter 9 Everly, Go for a Blind Date


    Parrish''s attitude was in fact enough to show that he had forgiven Everly.


    All these years, Everly had never felt that keeping Edmond was a mistake.


    But her parents had different thoughts from hers. Everly could understand Parrish''s resolution back


    then.


    It was all for her own good.


    Gloria was different. After all, she was Everly''s mother. Sentimental as she was, the moment she saw


    her daughter, she almost burst into tears.


    Gloria''s eyes were red. "Everly, you''re finally back. Don''t leave. Mom and Dad have missed you so


    much these years."


    Parrish seemed to have let out a snort on the bed, but he did not refute.


    Everly smiled and pulled Gloria''s hand. "Mom, I have to finish my work before I apply for a transfer. But


    I''ll put it off after Dad''s surgery."


    The whole family had a small talk in the ward.


    They asked to arrange a blind date for Everly, but Everly stubbornly refused.


    Her mind was now on that project.


    Therefore, Everly had been waiting for news from Maverick in the past two days.


    Everly got an invitation to thepany''s gathering.


    It would begin at seven o''clock in the evening at AY Club in C City.


    After Everly confirmed the address, she nned to go to the hotel to dress herself up. She would ask


    Edmond to stay in the Farley''s tonight.


    **


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Lamont Group.


    Just as they finished an important meeting, high-ranking managers of the Lamont Group emerged from


    the meeting room.


    After everyone had left, Jayden hurriedly came in with his phone in hand.


    "Mr. Maverick, it''s from Miss Candy."


    Maverick was still sitting on arge chair. With one hand on the conference table, he pinched his nose


    with the other one. Hearing this, he reached out and took the phone. The moment he put it in his ear,


    the coldness and indifference on his face instantly disappeared. They were reced by softness.


    "Dad, where have you been?" A soft voice came from the other side of the phone, sweeping away all of


    Maverick''s exhaustion.


    His eyes became gentler. "Dad is at thepany. Candy, have you eaten on time?"


    "Yes, but I have something on my mind."


    "What?"


    "Dad, the car that I yed with in the hospital yesterday is gone. That''s my new toy. Can you help me


    find it?"


    Maverick raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright, Dad will help you find it."


    "Dad, when will youe back to keep mypany?"


    "Yes, I have something to do tonight. How about tomorrow?"


    Candy snorted. She seemed to be a little unsatisfied. Maverick could imagine his daughter''s adorable


    look as she pursed her lips while holding her phone. His eyes became gentler and gentler.


    "Don''t be unhappy. I will definitely go back to see you tomorrow."


    Maverick had always been busy, and it was impossible for his daughter to stay by his side all day long.


    Therefore, as long as he had time, he would definitely be with Candy.


    Candy was already used to it. Although she was clingy to her father, she was very sensible. "I barely


    forgive you. I will be waiting for you at home tomorrow."


    Maverick hung up, and Jayden was still standing at the side. The softness in Maverick''s face gradually


    disappeared.


    Jayden stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Maverick, you have an appointment with the


    president of SY Corp. tonight to talk about thend in the north of the city. The address is in AY Club."


    Maverick had nned to light a cigarette. Then he paused slightly.


    "You mean Hendrix Farley?"


    "Right."


    Hendrix....


    Maverick subconsciously thought of the woman who blushed with shyness as she was pressed against


    the door by him.


    She seemed to be surnamed Farley as well.


    Maverick was on good terms with Hendrix, but he didn''t know if Hendrix had a sister.


    Maverick and Hendrix usually talked about work. It seemed that Hendrix had never shown up with his


    sister in the past few years.


    Jayden said, "Your father has contacted you several times."


    "And Mr. Maverick, Carolina seems to have been investigating your schedule."


    Maverick lit up his cigarette and his eyes were cold. "She likes to put on a one-man show. Let her do it.


    As for the Lamonts, I''m in no mood to deal with them. I''ll see Hendrix tonight. Arrange for


    it."

 Chapter 10 Maverick Laughed at Her?

    Chapter 10 Maverick Laughed at Her?


    Everly had left the city for a few years, so she wasn''t particrly familiar with the surroundings. After


    leaving her son to Gloria, she took a taxi to her destination.


    After getting off the car, she looked up and saw that there were several words written on the top of the


    clubhouse--AY Club.


    This name was quite stylish.


    The doorman took her upstairs. Just as she reached the corner, Everly swept her eyes and saw a cold


    and straight back.


    It looked familiar.


    Everly subconsciously slowed down. She happened to hear the man whispering, "... I''m not ready to


    sign that project. I didn''t sign the letter of intent. Besides, there are still a lot of problems with that


    contract."


    Everly was slightly stunned.


    She could not have misheard this voice deep, which was deep and somewhat cold. It was Maverick''s.


    Looking in that direction again, Everly finally saw Maverick''s handsome side face.


    With one hand in his pants pocket, Maverick held his mobile phone with the other hand. Meanwhile,


    half of a cigarette was between his slender and clean fingers.


    The man wore a smile. But it was full of mockery.


    When the person leading the way saw Everly suddenly stop, he turned around and was about to call


    her.


    Everly quickly made a silent gesture and whispered, "I know the way. Thank you. I have something to


    do. I will go up in a moment."


    "Alright." The doorman quickly left.


    Everly felt that the "project" that Maverick had just mentioned had something to do with her.


    She knew that eavesdropping wasn''t good, but she couldn''t help but tilt her body slightly to the side


    and hold her breath to listen quietly.


    "Yes, they released a piece of false news. I can tell the pros and cons ... I don''t have any other


    thoughts."


    Maverick raised his eyebrows slightly when he said this.


    His gaze had always been ice-cold. Now, there was a hint ofnguor and charm in it.


    Maverick pulled out his hand and took a puff of his cigarette with narrowed eyes. The person on the


    other end of the phone said something, and then Maverick snorted, "I still have something to do


    tonight."


    "No, I know about LAL. I don''t intend to sign it. Someone from their branch has talked with me."


    "..."


    "Well, talk about itter. I''ll hang up."


    ...


    It was just Everly''s guess. Now she felt that it was impossible for her to be mistaken since Maverick


    had personally mentioned LAL.


    So Maverick didn''t even n to sign the contract with her, did he?


    Since he didn''t n to invest, why did he use her?


    Everly felt a burning pain in her throat. Countless emotions surged up, and she flew into a temper.


    ''Maverick, you have gone too far!''


    She groaned for half an hour in vain. It was simply a joke!


    Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. Everly turned around. However, she couldn''t control the


    expression on her face for a moment. She gritted her teeth with hatred, which shocked the people


    behind her.


    "Everly, what''s wrong with you? You look like you''re going to eat people."


    It was Garry. He saw Everly standing motionless from afar.


    Everly quickly restrained her expression and shook her head, "Nothing much. Is everyone here?"


    "Yes, but Everly, you look pale."


    "I''m fine. Let''s go in first."


    As Everly spoke, she subconsciously turned to look at Maverick.


    Everly happened to meet Maverick''s eyes.


    Their eyes met.


    Everly was enraged. Since she was caught eavesdropping on him, awkwardness and guilt surged


    through her.


    Within tens of seconds, her emotions fluctuated so much that the expression on her face was amusing.


    Everly froze there.


    Maverick dusted off the ashes. Staring at Everly, he directly crumbled the cigarette butt. Then, he


    ced it on the windowsill behind him, and pressed it hard.


    A faint smile lifted the corner of his mouth.


    Afterwards, he turned around slowly and went off in another direction.


    Everly finally figured out what Maverick implied, and her face flushed red with anger.


    What was he doing?


    Was heughing at her?N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.

 Chapter 11 Mr. Maverick, You Are Outwardly Strong and Inwardly Weak

    Chapter 11 Mr. Maverick, You Are Outwardly Strong and Inwardly Weak


    "Everly, you drank a lot tonight, didn''t you? Look, your cheeks are glowing."


    Garry was quite kind-hearted. Perhaps he saw Everly drink a lot of wine in a good mood, so he came


    over and reminded Everly, "Drink less. You have to take care of your son at night, right?"


    Everly thought of Edmond and let out a light breath.


    "Garry, do you have any news about that project now?" Everly couldn''t help burping, and asked in a low


    voice.


    Garry had quite a lot of news from the grapevine. As Everly asked, he quickly said, "Yesterday a


    meeting was held. The head officees up with this project and pays a lot of attention to it. However,


    I feel that since it is so mysterious, there may be some difficulties."


    Everly bit her lips and said, "You''ve always been in C City. How much do you know about Lamont


    Group?"


    "Lamont Group?"


    "Maverick."


    "I showed you the news before. Maverick is very difficult to deal with." Garry shook his head and


    suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Everly, when you knocked on the door, did you...."


    "No, I gave him the n." Everly responded through gritted teeth.


    "I heard that Maverick was cold. Although he looks good-looking, he isn''t easy to bemunicated


    with, is he?"


    Everly thought to herself that not only was Maverick a hard person, but he was also despicable and


    shameless.


    Everly drank too much and felt dizzy. The entire room was filled with the smell of smoke, making her


    ufortable.


    So, she stood up and said, "I''m going out for some air."


    Garry hurriedly moved away to make way for her.


    As soon as Everly went out, a wave of nausea swept over her.


    As a result, maybe she had drunk too much, Everly couldn''t find the bathroom after searching for a


    long time.


    The floor was a curved circr design. The corridors were open to the left and right, and there was no


    sign of a bathroom.


    Everly walked all the way to the end, finding that there was a room in front of her.


    Everly reached out and pinched her eyebrows. She continued to walk forward. When she passed the


    room, she felt that the door was notpletely closed.


    Just as she was standing at the door, she heard someone say with a smile.


    "I heard that the one looking for you to invest had directly entered your room. Maverick, look at your


    appearance and figure. Probably that woman used the investment as an excuse and knocked on the


    door. What do you think? Maverick, was she hot?"


    Everly paused and her breathing slowed down.


    Maverick again?


    Investment?


    A woman entered his room?


    Very good. Everly was pretty sure that they were talking about her.


    She stood motionless at the door.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    There should be quite a lot of people inside. After that person finished speaking, another one


    immediately answered.


    "Don''t you know how the public thinks about Maverick? It is said that he keeps himself away from


    women, understand? If an ordinary woman enters his room, I guess she will be frozen."


    Someone immediately patted his thigh andughed teasingly, "Is that so? But I know that Maverick is


    straight."


    "That''s for sure. Maverick already has one daughter. If he''s not a straight man, how did he have a


    daughter? Come on, you guys. How dare you y a joke on Maverick. Do you want to die?"


    "Well, you don''t know how many media are eager to exposing Maverick''s embarrassing past after he


    took over Lamont Group. The Lamonts have been eagerly waiting for it. However, Maverick is hard to


    be dealt with. How can those media easily make it?"


    "I''m just curious as to who that woman is. She''s so awesome. She even managed to enter Maverick''s


    room."


    "Maybe Maverick personally opened the door. You just know nothing."


    ...


    The group of people joked around. Everly could tell that these people were close, so they must be in


    the same circle.


    But Everly didn''t seem to hear Maverick speak.


    How could he not get angry since his friends made such fun of him?


    However, that he wasn''t furious didn''t mean that Everly was easy to be dealt with.


    When she was in his room, he pressed down on her and asked her to shout. Everly thought of what


    Maverick said on the phone, and what she had heard just now....


    Everly felt that the alcohol in her stomach was fermenting fiercely, continuously bolstering her courage.


    Maverick....


    Damn Maverick...


    Her temples suddenly trembled. Before she regained her clear mind, she subconsciously pushed open


    the door.


    A dim yellow light came straight at her.


    The pungent smell of tobo filled the room. Everly subconsciously paused and narrowed her eyes.


    She could see clearly how many people there were in the box. As soon as she opened the door, she


    was greeted by a man sitting casually.


    Maverick had taken off his coat. Leaving three buttons of the light gray shirt undone, he rolled up his


    sleeves.


    Holding a cigarette in one hand, he was not as cold as when he wore meticulous clothes. Instead, he


    looked somewhat casual. He put on a faint smile, as if he didn''t take his friends'' jokes seriously.


    He was quite generous to others.


    But he humiliated her harshly.


    Even if he didn''t want to invest, there was no need to fool her like this, right?


    The people in the room finally noticed Everly. They wondered who this woman was.


    Everly, however, had already walked straight towards Maverick. Standing in front of Maverick, she


    directly picked up a ss of wine and sshed it on his crotch.


    ...


    "Maverick, you are outwardly strong and inwardly weak."


    "Your kidney function has been impaired. It''s better to smoke less and drink less. Otherwise, if you take


    off your pants next time, how embarrassing it will be when you are not able to continue and have to ask


    your partner to groan cooperatively!"


    Everly spat with a smile.

 Chapter 12 Here You Are

    Chapter 12 Here You Are


    ...


    It all happened so fast.


    Everyone in the room felt it jaw-dropping.


    They quieted down and silence reigned the room instantly.


    So awkward!


    It was because of the alcoholic that Everly was so bold. What she did and said when she came in was


    like shing by.


    She felt herself amazing.


    However, seeing the wine permeating the man''s crotch, she felt as if she had also been sshed and


    regained her senses.


    Not long after, there were sounds around.


    Some people were holding backughter.


    Then, someone couldn''t help butugh out in spite of himself, breaking the awkward silence.


    People burst intoughter one after another. They couldn''t stop and doubled up.


    And someone pped his thigh and shouted, "Holy shit, who''s this hot, bold girl?"


    Another person said, "You said Maverick was not so strong as he looked. Is that so?"


    "That''s why he''s not interested in regr women?"


    "... it''s the funniest thing I''ve heard this year!" The manughed.


    "Maverick, are you really unable to do it even when your pants are off?"


    "It''s harsh. Who''s this girl? She''s pretty and mean."


    "Tell us what exactly happened. And how."


    ...


    Almost everyone burst intoughter. It seemed to be out of control.


    Everly was a little afraid and her legs almost gave way beneath her. She regretted it, ''I''m so impulsive.''


    When looking Maverick in the eye, she trembled despite herself.


    His gaze was like a sharp knife on her neck, preparing to kill her.


    Everly turned away his head as she thought, "What was there to be afraid of?"


    ''What''s done is done!''


    ''Besides, he had gone too far.''


    ''Forget it. I''d better leave now.''


    She pinched her coat, turned around and walked towards the door.


    Amidst theughter, a man said in a cold voice, "Everly."


    Everly felt a shock.


    She wished she were hit by lightning.


    If she were, could she turn back time?


    Or she wished she could die.


    ''Isn''t it Hendrix''s voice?''


    Everly stood upright at the door, forgetting to breathe.


    People stoppedughing and got confused for the time being. Someone asked, "What? Hendrix, do


    you know her?"


    "Everly?" Someone else responded more quickly, "Are you two rtives?"


    Hendrix''s voice was calm. Everly knew that the calmer he sounded, the angrier he was. She clenched


    her fists again.


    "She''s my sister," Hendrix said.


    The sound of footsteps behind her was nearer. Hendrix stood behind Everly and said, "Are you drunk?"


    Everly moved her lips, not knowing how to face Hendrix, ''Why didn''t I see Hendrix when I came in?''


    "You smell like wine. Are you having dinner here?" Hendrix was trying to save her, "Even if you are


    drunk, you can''t do that. Apologize to Maverick."


    Everly didn''t say anything.


    No one wasughing.


    Everly was Hendrix''s younger sister, so what she had done meant a totally different thing.


    If she was some stranger, they could joke about it. However, they all knew Hendrix, and she was


    Hendrix''s sister.


    Therefore, they all felt it awkward now.


    Hendrix put his hand on Everly''s shoulder, forcing her to turn around. He whispered in her ear, "Everly,


    listen to me. Apologize to Maverick."


    Seven words. Hendrix said it slowly.


    Everly''s heart was racing. Her brother was telling her not to mess with Maverick.


    She raised her head again, looking Maverick in the intense eye. The man still looked the same. His


    eyes were so dark and cold that almost everyone in the room was intimidated.


    Someone coughed, trying to smooth things over, "Since Maverick knows this girl, it may be a


    misunderstanding."


    "Exactly. Hendrix, you''ve never mentioned that you have such a pretty sister."


    "Miss, are you drunk? Is there any misunderstanding? You are a woman, so Maverick won''t take it to


    heart."


    ...


    Hendrix squeezed Everly''s shoulder with a little more strength.


    Everly sighed. She was a grown-up. She felt wronged, yet she knew what she should do next.


    What she did was awesome. However, she went too far, and she didn''t know how to make things right.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    ''Since they said that....''


    ''Forget it. At least I had vented my anger.''


    She took a deep breath. Just as she was about to speak, that man who had been sitting on the sofa in


    silence finally spoke, "All of you, out. Miss Everly, stay."


    Hendrix hastened to exin, "Maverick, my sister must be drunk. I''m hoping that you can forgive her."


    Hearing Hendrix''s words, Everly felt more regretful.


    Hendrix was different from this group of people. He hade to where he was all by himself.


    Therefore, in this circle, his status was different from the old money. Now, because of Everly, Hendrix


    would owe Maverick a favor.


    Everly took a step forward and said, "I''ll take the consequences of my actions. Mr. Maverick, I''ll stay. I


    also have something to say."


    Hendrix couldn''t believe that Everly still dared to talk to Maverick like this. He grabbed hold of her and


    said, "Enough! Shut up!"


    "Hendrix, this is between me and him. Don''t worry. You can leave us alone."


    Everyone else looked at one another, knowing that they''d better go ording to the current situation.


    Theplexion of Maverick was serious. They could make jokes at him. Most of the time, things


    wouldn''t get ugly. Maverick didn''t care, so he wouldn''t be pissed off.


    But now, Maverick seemed angry....


    It wouldn''t make any difference what they could say right now. They pushed one another and left.


    Hendrix didn''t go out. He sighed and said, "You can take thend in the north of the city with no strings


    attached. Please don''t make things difficult for my sister. We are business partners for years. I''ll owe


    you one."


    Everly was more anxious. She walked towards Maverick, picked up a ss, filled it with wine, and


    handed it to him.


    "Mr. Maverick is angry with me. So, here you are."


    Maverick raised his head, looking at her.


    Even though he didn''t say anything, his cold eyes and poker face were enough to frighten people.

 Chapter 13 You Dont Think Im Good in Bed?

    Chapter 13 You Don''t Think I''m Good in Bed?


    However, under the circumstances, Everly felt that she couldn''t be frightened.


    She tried to calm down. It seemed that Maverick didn''t intend to say anything, so she said first, "Take it


    up with me, not my brother. I''m the one to me. Besides, you didn''t keep your promise, didn''t you?"


    "Everly!" Hendrix was worried.


    ''The other day, Everly came out of the suite, saying that he just met Maverick''s assistant.''


    ''It must be an excuse. It seemed that they became enemies at that time.''


    ''This girl was....''


    "Hendrix, you can leave us alone. Mr. Maverick and I have something to talk."


    Hendrix didn''t move. Maverick was keeping a long face, and he had only said a few words. Hendrix


    was worried.


    Everly knew what Hendrix was thinking, "I''m ... drunk, so I was a little impulsive. Mr. Maverick and I do


    have something to talk. I''ll exin it to youter. You can leave us alone. This is a public ce. He''s a


    man of status, so don''t worry."


    Hendrix wanted to say something.


    However, Maverick moved his lips and spoke first, "Hendrix, I won''t trade a woman for business


    benefits. Your sister is an adult."


    Hendrix''s voice was calm as usual, yet it sounded unpleasant and sarcastic.


    "Besides, look at what she''s done. What do you think I could do to her?"


    Maverick was looking at his own crotch. Hendrix also turned his eyes upon it. Seeing the wine on it,


    Hendrix coughed to cover the awkward moment.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    He agreed to leave them alone.


    Before leaving, he whispered to Everly, "I''ll wait for you outside."


    Everly nodded.


    The door closed, and there were only Maverick and Hendrix in the room.


    There were fewer people, but it seemed to be more depressing.


    Everly looked at the man''s crotch.... It was embarrassing, but for some reason, she calmed down.


    In fact, she didn''t regret it. If Hendrix weren''t here, hearing what the people said, she would p


    Maverick in the face instead of sshing the wine.


    She was trying to do business, persuading Maverick to make investment. However, from what they


    said, she was like a cheap girl.


    ''Because he''s a man, he can break his promise?''


    Everly didn''t n to let it go. She handed the ss of wine over again and said with a smile, "Mr.


    Maverick, you look mad. Would you like to ssh me?"


    She thought for a moment, and then put on a faint smile, which he usually did, "I''m not drunk. I did go


    too far. But what about you, Mr. Maverick?"


    Maverick stared at her with cold eyes. He didn''t say anything.


    Everly felt ill at ease under his frightening gaze.


    She frowned, "It''s no use ring at me. You can''t kill people with your eyes."


    Maverick was speechless.


    ''What was the woman thinking?''


    The man lifted the corner of his mouth. His tone was not so gloomy as before. "Miss Everly, you seem


    to feel that I owe you, so you rushed in and did all of this to me. With your working attitude, how did you


    Everly felt wronged.


    She was not usually like that.


    She was pissed off today.


    "I shouldn''t knock on your door, but I just want to do business with you in a normal way. You, instead,


    tell me to moan...." She blushed, so she paused before continuing, "Don''t deny it. I heard what you said


    on the phone. You''re not interested in signing the investment contract at all. You used me and then


    kicked me away!"


    ''A despicable, cunning businessman!''


    Maverick sneered, "When did I promise you that I would definitely sign the contract? I only said that if


    you satisfied me with moaning, I''d take a look at your proposal. And I did."


    The man paused for a moment and said with disdain, "Miss Everly, do you know what happened in


    LAL? If you don''t know anything and yete to me to persuade me to spend my money on a lost


    cause, you are not bold. You are ignorant."


    Hearing what he said, Everly was speechless. She felt angrier and more embarrassed.


    She took a deep breath. Just as she was about to say something, the man stood up.


    She was standing in front of him with a ss of wine.


    They got closer when the man stood up.


    His hand touched the ss in her hand by ident.


    The red liquid shook for a moment, and then spilled out.


    Maverick looked down. It was spilled on his shirt. He didn''t care, because there was already some wine


    on her crotch.


    Everly was wearing a light-gray shirt. She left her coat in her private room. The wine was also spilled


    on her shirt, and her ck underwear became visible.


    Maverick was stunned. He stared at the certain part of her body for a while and didn''t want to look


    away.


    His eyes darkened. Because he was looking down, the long eyshes made it difficult to tell what he


    was thinking.


    Everly had yet to discover that the wine was spilled on her.


    She took a few steps back. Looking at the half ss of wine in her hand, she ced it on the table


    beside her.


    She wanted to finish this quickly, so she cut to the chase.


    "I apologize to you. I''m hoping that Hendrix''s business won''t be impacted because of me. In the past


    few years, I was not in City C, and there are many things that I don''t know. Besides, I''m not in


    management. How could I know about the internal issues? You fooled me before, so we get even."


    She said that in a breath without looking at Maverick.


    Then, she turned around, about to leave.


    However, Maverick grabbed her wrist in the minute she turned.


    Before Everly could see clearly, everything shed past her eyes. She felt she was turned around.


    Then, she was on the sofa.


    She was stunned, looking up.


    Maverick pulled the cor of his shirt with one hand and touched the metal buckle of his belt with the


    other. Everly was sitting, and the man stood in front of him. She looked straight ahead and happened to


    see his crotch. It was red.


    She couldn''t be more embarrassed.


    She blushed in an instant.


    And she looked away.


    Maverick put his hands on the sofa beside her body. Everly didn''t find herself moving back. Maverick


    knelt between her legs.


    Everly was dumbfounded.


    "You don''t think I can do it?" He asked with a smile.


    His voice was deep and hoarse. She felt it sexy. It seemed not to be cold in the room. Instead, there


    was ambiguity.


    If he scolded her or made fun of her, she wouldn''t be afraid.


    But now he was like this.... Everly''s heart was knocking, and she couldn''t stop it.


    "Why don''t you say anything? You said a lot just now. Is your tongue tied?" His slender, long fingers


    smelled like cigarettes, pinching her chin. Everly''s eyes widened, forgetting to breathe.


    The man looked down, staring at her eyes closely, "I''m asking you. You don''t think I can do


    it?"

 Chapter 14 You Dare to Provoke Him?

    Chapter 14 You Dare to Provoke Him?


    Everly felt overwhelmed by his deep voice.


    She ignored the fact that he was staring at her from a close distance. Her dark eyes flickered, but she


    sighed in her heart.


    Sure enough, he was a difficult man.


    Thinking about it now, she still felt a little regretful. She shouldn''t have knocked on his room door on


    impulse then.


    No matter what, she got a responsibility.


    She tried her best to keep her voice even, "Mr. Maverick, I ... I''d like to apologize to you. I was a little


    drunk and lost my head in anger. Can we let this go?"


    "You think I will let it go as you wish? Miss Everly, do you know how many people there were just now?"


    Maverick looked at her amusedly.


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    "They are all my friends. Of course, your brother is also here. Do you think they will believe I''m not


    good in bed?"


    "What do you want me to do?" Everly asked in frustration.


    Maverick looked at her without saying anything.


    Everly was terrified by the coldness in his eyes. However, they were so close. The man kept her thumb


    on her chin, fiddling it in a casual manner, giving her a tingling sensation.


    She squirmed, but Maverick went harder to confine her under his body.


    "Mav..."


    "Answer me. Do you think I am impotent?" He seems to be persistent on this question.


    Everly thought that he might be sick.


    They were adults. Why did he keep asking her this childish question?


    She really wanted to say, "You should go to your woman for an answer."


    However, she didn''t want to fight with Maverick anymore. She just wanted him to let her go quickly.


    She just wanted to get out of this damn ce!


    Therefore, she restrained her temper and changed the way she spoke. "Mr. Maverick, my words were


    meaningless. True, there was indeed a room full of people. But everyone knew that I overreacted. Why


    should Mr. Maverick stick to such a meaningless topic?"


    Maverick pursed his thin lips slightly. His condescending gaze made Everly very ufortable.


    He was a lofty judge. And if she did not obediently answer his boring question, she would be sentenced


    to capital punishment.


    Everly was amused by the thought that shed through her mind. She could not help but say, "Besides,


    we''re both adults. How would I know you are good or not?"


    Which meant she didn''t do anything with him. Why did he keep asking her this question?


    ...


    Everly wasn''t sure if Maverick was getting angrier.


    However, she felt Maverick''s eyes were ck holes that she could not escape. But if she were sucked


    in, she would get crushed.


    Everly swallowed. All her negative emotions had now turned into panic and uneasiness.


    Just as she was hesitating about how to speak, the strength on her chin suddenly increased.


    Everly felt a little painful and grunted.


    Coldly, the man said word for word in her ears,


    "You don''t remember?"


    He said the three words very slowly and then paused as if he was sniggering. Everly could tell that he


    was mocking her. The contempt in histter sentence confirmed her guess.


    He said, "Are you pretending? I think I''ve underestimated you. Are you gonna y hard-to-get with


    me? This seductive game is out of date. Do you want me to teach you? Or try some other method?"


    Everly heard the drone of his deep voice. As the man spoke, she could smell the tobo and alcohol


    on his breath. His smell was like an arrogant invader,mandeering every and every cell of hers.


    Everly''s heartbeat elerated a little.


    She didn''t know if it was because she was scared, or ... something else.


    But at this moment, she was nking. She didn''t know what to say.


    That''s why she held it back for a long time before saying, "I didn''t seduce you."


    Maverick kept the confining posture. They could feel each other''s breathing. And this sudden silence


    seemed even more deafening.


    This feeling was weird. Everly didn''t know how to describe it.


    Intimate?


    She didn''t think so. How many times had they seen each other?


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Moreover, this man''s gaze was cold.


    Just as she thought of this, the strength on her body suddenly lightened.


    Unexpectedly, Maverick let go of her. His clothes and trousers were stained with red wine. But he was


    tall and upright. He was so calm that no one would feel he looked like a mess.


    But Everly was different. The two sponges in her bra seemed to have been soaked in sweat, which felt


    rather chilly now.


    However, she couldn''t reach out to fix this.


    As soon as the strength on her body disappeared, she immediately stood up.


    Maverick nced at her, his gaze lingering on her chest for a moment before he expressionlessly


    looked away, "Miss Everly has a hot temper. Next time, let me take a good look at how capable you


    are."


    After saying this, he casually grabbed the jacket on the side and left the room.


    The pressure in the air seemed to disappear.


    Everly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Actually, she couldn''t figure out what Maverick meant.


    She just kicked the can down the road and did this to Maverick, but he ... didn''t do anything to her?


    Maybe... For the sake of her brother?


    Speaking of the devil.


    Seeing Maverick leave, Hendrix immediately pushed open the door and entered.


    The light in the room wasn''t good. When Hendrix entered, he turned on the crystal headlight above


    their head.


    The sudden light was a bit dazzling and ring.


    Just as she was musing about what Maverick said, she nkly turned around and saw that it was


    Hendrix. Only then did she regain her senses.


    "Hendrix..." The corner of Everly''s mouth twitched.


    How could the thing easily go away?


    Now it was her brother''s turn.


    Hendrix stared into her eyes and said coldly, "I need an exnation."


    Everly''s clothes were wet. Hendrix frowned. He didn''t ask anything else and directly brought his sister


    into his car.


    He drove the car himself. Before Everly could fasten her seat belt, she heard her big brother''s


    unfriendly voice. "What exactly is going on between you and Maverick? Do you... do you know who he


    is? You even dare to provoke him?"

 Chapter 15 Claim the Toy Car

    Chapter 15 im the Toy Car


    What kind of a man was Maverick?


    Everly didn''t believe the introduction to Maverick on the Inte.


    Let''s say he was low-key, but recently there was news about him everywhere. But if we said he was


    high-profile. There wasn''t much useful information about him on the Inte.


    Later, on their way back, Hendrix told Everly that Maverick was ruthless.


    Everly didn''t ask for more information, and Hendrix didn''t say anything else. However, because of such


    a ruckus, Everly received a crucial piece of news.


    There was something wrong with LAL. At present, there was indeed someone who wanted to buy its


    branch in City C.


    This news was from Hendrix.


    Everly felt a little nervous and prayed for her luck. Could it have something to do with Lamont Group?


    The reason that Maverick refused to sign the investment project was that he was nning to buy the


    entire LAL branch?


    What Hendrix told her was, "Right now, I knew that Den was very interested and was working on the


    market. But Maverick... It''s hard to say. I don''t think Maverick would buy LAL. But he''s unpredictable


    and I can''t be 100% sure of anything."


    Everly was worried for a few days.


    After offending Maverick like this, if he became her boss, would she still have a way out of this?


    Everly was at her wit''s end.


    Coupled with the jetg of the past few days, she had not been able to rest well.


    Fortunately, it was a weekend. While she was sleeping this afternoon, she received an unfamiliar


    phone call.


    The staff member on the other end talked away. It took Everly a long time to understand what he


    meant. She asked, "What is it? A toy car? What does it have to do with me?"


    The man patiently exined again. Everly finally made it clear.


    Probably Edmond left her number to the clerk.


    At present, the owner of the toy car had probably gone to im it. But this toy car was so expensive


    that the clerk needed the person who had deposited it at that time for confirmation.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Everly woke up on the wrong side of the bed. She tried her best not to lose her temper. After hanging


    up the phone, she waited for a while before confirming this matter with Edmond.


    She counted the time. Parrish was going to have an operation tomorrow, so she could go to the


    hospital to see him this afternoon.


    Hospital.


    A ce like this was usually crowded. If you lost something, it was impossible to have someone


    happen to keep an eye on you.


    After Maverick received his baby daughter''s request that day, he asked Jayden to inquire about it.


    Only then did he realize that someone had deposited the toy here that day.


    He had nned to ask Jayden toe over, but it just so happened that he was going to meet


    someone. On the way, he stopped at the hospital.


    He had never seen that toy car before. Previously, he had heard his daughter go on and on about it. He


    was nning toe here to take a look or have someone check the surveince footage. If he


    couldn''t find it, he would buy her a new one.


    When Jayden pulled open the car door and entered, Maverick was smoking with one elbow against the


    window.


    The car window in the back seat was slightly lowered. The cigarette''s smoke came out of the half-


    opened window. However, the carriage was still full of the smell of tobo.


    Jayden turned around and said, "Mr. Maverick, Miss Candy''s toy car is here. However, it seems that


    someone helped Miss Candy put it in the Lost and Found Office. We have to wait for the one toe


    and confirm it."


    Maverick raised his wrist and checked the time. "How long will it take?"


    Jayden also knew that Mr. Maverick was in a hurry, "She might need some time to get here. Maybe I


    could stay here?"


    Maverick pondered for a moment and said, "Did the staff member reveal who the woman is? Did she


    meet Candy that day?"


    "I didn''t ask this."


    Jayden was very cautious. He knew that only Miss Candy would bring the thoughtful side out of Mr.


    Maverick.


    No one outside knew that Mr. Maverick had a sweet 5-year-old daughter. Mr. Maverick wouldn''t


    announce it because he didn''t give others any chance to take advantage of her.


    Though had been working for Maverick for years. Jayden didn''t know about this child''s mother''s


    identity.


    Although there was indeed someone by Candy''s side to take care of her, Jayden was clear that Mr.


    Maverick had investigated the mother''s information, but found nothing.


    The Kahls also put some pressure on him. As time passed, Mr. Maverick gave up on this idea.


    Instead, he was getting more protective of Miss Candy.


    "Mr. Maverick, do you need me to check the surveince footage?"


    "Not for now," Maverick said.


    *


    It took Everly almost an hour to reach the hospital.


    Just as she got off the car, she picked up a cross-ocean phone call. It was Brielle.


    "The cooperation is over?"


    Everly nodded, "I''m sorry, Brielle."


    "Never mind. I heard that Maverick is not easy to deal with. When are youing back?"


    "Brielle, I want to stay longer." Everly said, "My dad is going to have an operation. I haven''t asked for


    leave in years. Can you help me get some days off? You know, the New Year ising."


    "Are you going to celebrate the New Year in City C?" "It''s only October," Brielle said. "How can we have


    such a long vacation?"


    Everly was silent for a moment and organized her speech. Just as she was about to say something,


    she heard Brielle sigh and say, "How about I transfer you to the domestic branch?"


    "Brielle..."


    "Don''t worry. Listen to me. There''s something wrong with thepany. Everly, I don''t want to hide it


    from you. Let me tell you in private. Thepany will probably be taken over."


    Everly was not surprised to hear this.


    Brielle said, "I don''t know who the buyer is. But I know that boss has been in contact with a person


    surnamed Rice. I''ve asked around. There''s no problem with your position. You will be safe."


    Everly thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Thank you, Brielle."


    Brielle said, "You are capable. It''s easy. Just give me another two months and wait for the good news.


    After handover is done, I''m going home too."


    Then they chatted a little before ending the call.


    This matter was confirmed now. As long as thepany didn''t sell to Maverick, Everly would be happy.


    She lowered her head and sent a WeChat message to Gloria, saying that she was going to visit her


    fatherter. Then, she switched the screen and called the number that had just contacted her to tell him


    she arrived and how to get to their ce.


    ...


    Under the shade of a tree not far away.


    A ck car had been parked on the roadside for a long time.


    After Jayden hung up the phone again, he turned around and said to the man in the back seat who was


    working on aptop, "Mr. Maverick, the woman is here."

 Chapter 16 It Was Really Bought by Lamont Group

    Chapter 16 It Was Really Bought by Lamont Group


    Maverick did not raise his head but only replied.


    Jayden had just heard that Mr. Maverick had an urgent video conference. It was not convenient for Mr.


    Maverick to get off the car and deal with it, so Jayden pushed open the car door and got off.


    He walked towards the hospital. Everly happened to be walking in front of him. Jayden didn''t recognize


    Everly because he could only see the back side of Everly''s head.


    They entered the hospital gate one after the other.


    They bumped into each other in the elevator.


    However, there were quite a lot of people in the elevator in the hospital, so they were squeezed into


    two corners of the elevator respectively.


    Everly was on her phone. When she reached the right floor, she and Jayden got out of the crowd. Only


    then did Everly looked up to the well-dressed man beside her.


    He was not very handsome but looked serious.


    However, it was impossible that she couldn''t remember his face after she had seen him twice.


    He was Maverick''s assistant, wasn''t he?


    Obviously, Jayden recognized Everly. They stood in front of the Lost and Found and stared at each


    other for a while when people came out.


    Jayden did not speak, but he was very puzzled.


    Could this woman really be trying her best to get close to Mr. Maverick?


    This was too coincidental. They met each other because of the child. Now, even Miss Candy was


    involved.


    Jayden was Maverick''s most trusted and capable assistant. Of course, he knew how women would


    seek his attention and seduce him.


    But this woman...


    "Are you Miss Everly?" The staff member came out and interrupted Jayden''s thoughts.


    Everly nodded. She knew that this man was Maverick''s assistant. So, this toy car belonged to his


    child?


    What a coincidence to meet Jayden. Everly was wondering if her son had really seen the "handsome


    uncle" who was Maverick. Now, she ran into Maverick''s assistant.


    Thinking about how she had been defeated and got into trouble because of Maverick, she was a bit


    bitter grumpy.


    However, he helped her look after Edmond twice before, so Everly greeted Jayden, "Hello, what a


    coincidence! That toy car belongs to your child, right? Ie over to make sure. If there are no other


    problems, I''ll go."


    Jayden was going to say that that wasn''t his child.


    However, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.


    The identity of this woman was not clear, so it was better to discreet with his words.


    Everly and Jayden both signed to confirm that there were no other problems.


    When the toy car was taken away, Everly went upstairs to see Parrish.


    After having someone bring the car back, Jayden got into the previous car.


    Maverick, who was in the backseat, raised his head and looked at Jayden, "Is it done?"


    Jayden nodded, "Yes, Mr. Maverick."


    Jayden exined what had just happened without exaggeration. "Her name is Everly Farley."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Maverick was just closing theputer when he heard this, then he suddenly stopped.


    "What''s her name?"


    Jayden was stunned for a moment before he reacted and hurriedly said, "Everly Farley."


    Jayden felt that this name was somewhat familiar, or it was more like this surname was familiar. When


    he repeated it, he remembered something, "Mr. Maverick, I just remembered something. Does Everly


    have something to do with Hendrix Farley?"


    There weren''t many Farleys in City C. Moreover, Hendrix and Everly looked alike. Based on their ages,


    Everly might be Hendrix''s younger sister.


    So, she was Hendrix''s sister?


    Actually, Jayden had always known that Maverick and Hendrix had a good rtionship. If Everly was


    Hendrix''s sister, she would not do such a thing to approach Mr. Maverick, right?


    Jayden was hesitating to tell Maverick that the little boy was Everly''s child.


    Maverick''s phone rang.


    Then topic came to a halt. Maverick didn''t mention about it and didn''t even ask Jayden to check the


    surveince footage, so Jayden kept his mouth shut.


    Monday morning.


    Everly had to go to thepany. Parrish needed to have an operation in the afternoon, so she had to


    go there to ask for leave.


    As soon as she arrived at thepany, she saw Garry who hurried to her, "Everly, what happened to


    you on Friday night?"


    Everly thought about what happened that day and hurriedly said, "I was drunk, and met my brother, so


    he sent me home. Sorry, I didn''t even tell you."


    "It doesn''t matter," Garry said, "but Mr. Neil has your coat."


    Everly was surprised, "Mr. Neil?"


    "You told us that you went to the bathroom that day, so you left your coat at the table. But you didn''t


    Everly was a little embarrassed, "I''ll find himter."


    Garry blinked his eyes as if implying something, "Everly, I''ve got a hunch Mr. Neil is into you."


    Everly''s heart sank, "Hey, don''t talk nonsense."


    Garry smiled and said, "Everly, you are pretty. It''s not surprising that Mr. Neil likes you. However, he


    just divorced his wife ... Let''s not talk about this anymore. I heard that we would have a new boss. Do


    you know about this?"


    Everly pondered for a moment, "Only Brielle told me that ourpany would be taken over by


    someone, but so soon?"


    Garry said, "There''s something even more mysterious. I don''t know what happened to LAL. Anyway,


    this branch is definitely going to be acquired by Lamont Group."


    Everly had a heavy twitch in her eyes.


    "What ... Lamont Group?"


    "That''s right. Maverick will be our new boss." Garry rolled his eyes, "Speaking of which, ourpany is


    going to be acquired, but this information is not public. You even came back and try to get investment


    from the Lamont Group. How can apany like Lamont Group settle with investing? It''s going to own


    us."


    These words were ringing in Everly''s ears, so she could not hear what Garry was sayingter.


    ording to what Hendrix mentioned before, the new boss was going to be Den.


    Why did it be Maverick?


    Damn, she was going to have a hard time.


    She offended the new boss in advance, didn''t she?


    Everly was very upset.


    She thought about resigning, but at this critical juncture, it would seem like she was running away from


    something.


    Moreover ... she had worked hard for so many years in LAL. Now She just came back to start over. She


    would be at a disadvantage if she resigned.


    But if she didn''t resign herself, would Maverick pour a ss of red wine on her face?


    And throw at her a letter of dismissal?

 Chapter 17 A Father, a Son, a Daughter

    Chapter 17 A Father, a Son, a Daughter


    Maverick had to keep his daughterpany at night.


    He got off work early and drove back to his hilltop vi.


    He spent very little time at home in the early years and most of his time in Italy, but he coulde back


    home two or three times a month.


    Candy spent more time with Carolina in her childhood.


    Last year, Maverick infiltrated the Lamont Group and now was able to keep Lamont Group under


    control with the help of the Kahl family.


    However, to Maverick, he didn''t care about whether the Kahl family would help him or not.


    The Kahl family''s favorite was to make a show always be tied up with the Lamont family.


    When Candy was a little kid, no hostess was by her side to take care of her. It was Carolina who


    volunteered to do that. Back then, Maverick had a lot on his te and had no time to take care this


    unexpected daughter. It was more appropriate for a woman to look after her.


    Actually, Maverick was not a very good person.


    He was selfish and autocratic, and it was impossible for him to take into ount the vital interests of


    people who had little to do with him.


    He only thought that his daughter needed a woman to keep herpany. Since Carolina volunteered,


    he was willing to give her this chance.


    The car went into the vi. With a feeling that her father was back, Candy toddled toward Maverick with


    her hands in the air before he could park and got out of the car.


    The cold aura of the man gradually disappeared as the little girl approached him.


    "Dad!" Candy was very happy.


    Like other little girls who always clung to their fathers, she liked to stick to Maverick. Though they didn''t


    spend much time together, Candy had never felt feel estranged from Maverick. She didn''t conceal her


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    love and admiration for Maverick in her eyes when her gaze met his.


    Maverick reached to pull at his cor and pick up Candy.


    Candy hooked around her father''s neck with her soft hands and said softly, "Dad, I miss you so much. I


    want to kiss you."


    This man who always kept a straight face turned all soft and gentle. He replied gently and leaned over


    to kiss Candy''s cheek.


    Candy waved her small hand, "Dad, did you miss me?"


    "Yes."


    "Have you been busytely?"


    "Sometimes."


    "Can you sleep with me tonight? I want you to tell stories."


    "Alright."


    ...


    Not far away, at the vi door stood a woman dressed in a white dress, staring straight at them.


    Though she could not hear clearly what they were talking about and only heard Maverick''s brief


    answers, she was still a little jealous.


    Maverick was so aloof.


    Carolina had known him since childhood. He always been straight-face, reticent and reserved.


    Her father and brothers described Maverick as cold and cruel many times.


    But back then, Carolina made a bet that she would definitely get Maverick. If he didn''t want love, would


    he desire some familial affections?


    The answer was yes. Candy could arouse his tender feelings from the inside.


    This was how Carolinaforted herself every time she felt bitter. Then, she smiled gently and greeted


    Maverick, "Maverick, wee back."


    Maverick came out of the garage with Candy in his arms. Hearing Carolina''s voice, his expression


    remained the same. He only replied coldly and entered the vi.


    Carolina couldn''t hide the disappointment in her face, but soon resumed a smile that was natural.


    "I asked the cook to prepare dinner. Would you like to take a bath first?" Carolina stepped forward to


    take Maverick''s coat, car keys, and phone.


    However, Maverick remained cold. He dodged to avoid being touched and reached to rub his


    daughter''s head. "No, I''m taking Candy out to have dinner."


    Carolina''s heart sank. She wanted to say something else, but Maverick was walking towards the stairs


    with Candy in his arms.


    "Candy will stay with me tonight. If she wants toe over tomorrow, I''ll have the assistant send her


    over."


    However, Candy buried her head upon Maverick''s neck and said gently, "Dad, I want to stay with you


    for a few more days."


    Maverick said, "Alright."


    Carolina was like an outsider. Or, she was probably less than an outsider, wasn''t she?


    Maverick and Candy had walked upstairs, but someone''s sneer came from the living room.


    "Carolina, you are truly pathetic." Miley twisted her waist and clicked her tongue, "I''ve seen everything.


    Maverick didn''t even give you a second look. Tell me, what do you ask for after taking care of Candy for


    so many years?"


    "Shut up!"


    Carolina changed her soft look and red at Miley. She felt pain in her temples, so she vented her


    anger on Miley, "Did you lose Candy''s toy car in the hospital that day?"


    Miley felt a bit guilty and curled her lips, "She ran around and lost the car. You let me take the me?


    How weird you are!"


    "If you are unable to take good care of Candy, don''t get close to her. I know what you''re thinking


    about!"


    Carolina was sulky, so she said viciously, "Miley, one should know his ce. To tell the truth, if


    Maverick is unwilling to give me a second look, he will be more reluctant to look at you. Do not be an


    attention-seeker in front of Candy!"


    "You..."


    "Don''t you have anything better to do? Don''t you know that Maverick has another woman?" Carolina


    gave Miley a hint.


    As expected, Miley was stunned, "Woman? What woman?"


    "I went to the hotel that day and heard that." Carolina snorted, "You and I are sisters. When we are still


    fighting for Maverick''s favor. That woman has slept with Maverick."


    Miley was different from Carolina.


    They both liked Maverick. The Lamont family and the Kahl family intended to be united by marriage,


    but the Kahl family didn''t arrange whom Maverick would be engaged to.


    Carolina was calm, while Miley was not.


    Therefore, Miley took it to heart when Carolina said that on purpose.


    The sound of footsteps came from the stairs. Carolina and Miley had evil intentions and no longer went


    head-to-head with each other.


    Maverick carried Candy downstairs.


    "Maverick." Miley smiled and greeted him, "Are you taking Candy out?"


    Maverick nced at her, nodded and went out with Candy in his arms.


    Seeing Maverick give Miley a cold shoulder, Carolina wasn''t that angry anymore.


    Forget it. It was Maverick''s style.


    He was such a cold man and treated everyone the same.


    Therefore, she was willing to love him with all her heart.


    **


    At 7:00 p. m.


    Unlike the hustle and bustle of the day, the night brought the city grace and charm.


    Everly brought Edmond out to have dinner.


    Edmond had stayed abroad for so many years and was not used to having home-cooked dishes these


    days, so Everly brought him to eat steak.


    Everly was demanding when it came to the quality of life, so she would give her son the best. She


    brought Edmond to the upscale restaurant that she had carefully selected.


    After cutting the steak for her son, she took a sip of water and whispered, "Enjoy your dinner. I''ll go to


    the bathroom."


    Edmond nodded. He was only a 5-year-old child, but he could keep an elegant and calm posture when


    having dinner.


    Everly sighed and thought. This little fellow was born to know a lot of table manners. Did he inherit the


    elegant and noble temperament from his father?


    Outside the restaurant.


    When Maverick got out of the car with Candy in his arms, Candy was originally putting her head on


    Maverick''s shoulder, but her eyes suddenly lit up and pushed Maverick hard.


    "Dad, that''s big brother!"


    Maverick looked through the window and was surprised. They met again?


    Edmond, who was seated inside, seemed to sense their gaze from outside the window. He turned


    around and smiled.


    Wow, what a coincidence!


    That was the handsome uncle ... but he was holding Candy, the crybaby, in his arms, right?

 Chapter 18 Enemies Were Bound to Meet

    Chapter 18 Enemies Were Bound to Meet


    Edmond vaulted off the chair.


    Candy was still in Maverick''s arms.


    She realized that the boy was a little different from what she had remembered.


    The other day, he was aloof and cold, just like her father she saw on TV.


    But today he seemed to be very cheerful.


    He was smiling at her father. Did it mean he liked him?


    Candy pouted. She was still an innocent child. All she knew was that even if her father belonged to her


    for now, he was likely to be taken by someone of the simr age who liked him, too.


    She was a little upset.


    But on second thought, if it was him, she might ept the idea of, not giving up her father to him, but


    "sharing" with him.


    Children at Candy''s age liked to make presumptions.


    She had always believed that she didn''t have a mother and her beloved one was not her grandparent,


    uncle, or aunt, but only her father.


    So she presumed that someone like that boy might not have a father.


    A child had a weird way of thinking indeed.


    Edmond was so happy to see Maverick that he reached out for his trousers and said, "Good to see you


    again!"


    Maverick put Candy down. He wasn''t in a rush to sit down but fixed his eyes on Edmond''s steak


    instead.


    When his daughter just spotted Edmond, he saw him through the ss window, eating his meal quietly.


    He could still recall the scene clearly in his head.


    Although Maverick could only see one side of Edmond''s face, he could tell the bright eyes and fine


    lines of his face made him exceptionally charming.


    His was using the tableware with his long, fair fingers.


    He was wearing a small British-style suit that fit him well, and a pair of small white shoes.


    He was sitting upright.


    And he was looking down, chewing the steak.


    As the son of a prominent family, Maverick had known the table etiquette since he was little.


    And that scene, even now, could still bring him back to the old time.


    He felt as if it was himself from many years ago, sitting at the dining table, eating the steak


    meticulously.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    His heart skipped a beat. He was startled by his train of thought.


    Was it because he had seen this little boy too frequently these days?


    Heughed to himself, drew back his attention and asked Edmond, "Are you alone?"


    "Of course not. My mom is with me," Edmond said, "but she''s in the bathroom right now. What a


    coincidence today! Shall we make some introduction?"


    Maverick smiled, "Don''t we already know each other?"


    "I mean, you should meet my mom."


    Candy stood at the side, her big eyes blinking like purple grapes, pure and clear, as if she finally


    grasped something important. "Do you have a dad?" she asked him.


    Maverick frowned, "Candy, be polite."


    But Edmond didn''t mind, "I notice your dad doesn''t a wife. Does it mean you don''t have a mom,


    either?"


    Maverick forced a smile, wondering why kids today grew up so fast.


    Such conversation had rendered a CEO, who reigned supreme, speechless.


    "That''s right. It''s amazing that you know I don''t have a mom! Then we''re so good for each other. I have


    a dad, and you have a mom."


    Maverick still couldn''t utter a word.


    Something suddenly urred to Candy, "What''s your name? You promisedst time to tell me when


    we meet again."


    "Edmond." He was a man of his word.


    But his attention was still on Maverick, "Can you meet my mom? She is a wonderful woman. She will


    make a good wife for you."


    Maverick was having a headache now.


    To be honest, he had never been arranged by his family to meet a woman before.


    And there were countless women trying to hook up with him.


    The ce where he grew up was different. Although he seemed to have everything, he was actually


    very indifferent and even disdainful of rtionship and marriage.


    Now he was "forced" by a little boy several times to meet his mother.


    Maverick had an urge to flee for the first time in his life.


    This restaurant was under the name of the Lamont Group. Maverick often brought his daughter here,


    and the manager would serve them in person.


    Maverick shot a nce at the manager who was standing nearby.


    That man was wise enough to see what was going on.


    Maverick bent down gently to Edmond, "Please excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."


    Edmond was disappointed to hear this, "You don''t want to meet my mom, do you?"


    "It''s not the case at all. It''s just happening too fast. Well, I really gotta go now. Do you remember what I


    told you before? Some things are destined, and you shouldn''t push them."


    Edmond frowned in frustration.


    Maverick didn''t expect him to understand. He headed towards the bathroom. The moment he turned


    around, he felt relieved.


    "Miss Candy, let''s go upstairs. Anything you want for dinner today? I''ll have them prepared


    immediately," the manager came up to Candy and said with a smile.


    Candy was still reluctant to leave, "Can I have your phone number?" she asked Edmond.


    Edmond was straightforward. He asked the manager for paper and a pen, wrote down the number, and


    asked Candy, "Where did you go to school?"


    Candy said, "Crane Kindergarten. And you?"


    Edmond kept it in mind and smiled mysteriously, "Candy, we will meet again."


    He knew there was no such thing as a fianc¨¦. That man was just a cold fish.


    But never mind. He was going to introduce his mother to him sooner orter.


    Such a nice, capable man could well protect his mother in the future.


    ...


    Maverick, who was in the bathroom to dodge the "trouble", wasn''t aware at all that a five-year-old boy


    had got his eyes on him.


    And he never thought that he would run into Everly in the bathroom.


    And Of course, it would never, ever ur to him that the woman Edmond wanted to introduce to him


    was standing right in front of him.


    Everly was also shocked to see Maverick on an ordinary night out for dinner.


    Enemies were bound to meet.

 Chapter 19 Want My Attention? You Had It

    Chapter 19 Want My Attention? You Had It


    After confirming that LAL had been acquired by the Lamont Group, Everly was actually quite confused.


    She was caught between resignation and stay.


    However, she thought, it was just a branch. Maverick was the president of the Lamont Group, so he


    didn''t have much time to pay attention to LAL.


    She didn''t want to mess her work up because of some personal matters.


    That was good. She ''coincidentally'' met thest person she wanted to see.


    Everly was in a daze for a few seconds. She quickly reacted and greeted him, "Mr. Maverick, what a


    coincidence."


    Maverick looked at her with a meaningful gaze and snorted with an expressionless face.


    Everly thought to herself. ''What are you proud of?''


    ''Do you think I want to say hello?''


    ''If you weren''t my boss.''


    She thought that he would not like to see her anyway, so she''d better get away as soon as possible.


    "Mr. Maverick, are you here for lunch? Then, enjoy your meal. I gotta go."


    "What are you talking about?" Maverick sneered.


    This man spoke to her, so Everly couldn''t leave. She held her small handbag, thought for a moment,


    and asked, "What do you mean?"


    "What did you just say?"


    "I said, are you here for lunch? I gotta go."


    Maverick looked at her mockingly. "What, Miss Everly eats in the bathroom?"


    Everly was speechless.


    Shit, was he causing trouble?


    Did he have nowhere else to vent his boredom?


    She didn''t mean that, okay?


    Everly bit her lips and told herself that it was probably because of the red wine incident which he hadn''t


    gotten over. Forget it, just leave him alone.


    She forced a smile but unnaturally revealed her two dimples. "Mr. Maverick, I didn''t mean that. Are you


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    still angry about that? I can apologize again."


    Anyway, a smiling woman wouldn''t be hit.


    Thinking of this, Everly smiled more naturally.


    So this was how she smiled?


    Maverick had met too many people in the business world. He knew the difference between a real smile


    and a fake one.


    Strangely enough, though he knew that this woman was smiling hypocritically at him, he felt that there


    was a streak of strong light dazzling him.


    Everly''s facial features were beautiful.


    But at first nce, you wouldn''t find her attractive. Only when you looked closer would you discover


    that her eyes were bright and watery, her nose was high and her lips looked so soft...


    As she smiled, her two dimples were faintly visible.


    She was an experienced office woman, but the two dimples didn''t contradict with her face.


    You would only find her enchanting, adorable, and somewhat pure.


    He was a man who had been living in the darkness since he was young.


    His heart had never beaten so fast, except that day when his daughter was born. But now the long-lost


    feeling came again.


    Maverick frowned as he shifted his gaze away from the woman''s face and nced at his left chest.


    The man''s eyes flickered, and he cursed in his heart. ''You loser''.


    "Miss Everly, do you think I''ll ept your insincere apology?" Maverick was good at concealing his


    emotions.


    Everly didn''t know what he was thinking just now.


    However, what he said to her was irritating.


    She took a deep breath and asked, "Mr. Maverick, let''s get to the point. I know that you have acquired


    LAL."


    "Is that why you are so hypocritical towards me?" Maverick put both hands into the pockets on his


    trousers and stared fixedly at Everly. As he spoke, he took a step forward and looked down at her


    panicked face. "Are you cursing me in your heart? Are you irritated?"


    Everly thought to herself. ''You are quite self-aware.''


    "Of course not. I seldom curse at people." She smiled.


    Maverick looked at her smiling face and raised his eyebrows. "So Miss Everly has something to say?


    Or you want to show your capability to me, your new boss?"


    Everly''s heart lurched. She felt that Maverick had set her a trap...


    However, she couldn''t figure out where it was.


    "Miss Everly, you will receive an order from the Personnel Department. You will be transferred to


    Lamont Group''s headquarters." Maverick sized her up. "Although you''ve worked in the US


    headquarters for several years, I''m looking forward to seeing your performance. Be a doer and don''t


    disappoint me."


    "You want to transfer me to Lamont Group''s headquarters?" Everly was astounded.


    "What? Are you afraid?"


    Everly subconsciously said, "Why should I?"


    She thought he was gonna fire her.


    Everly thought to herself. So, Maverick was a person who wouldn''t make his business personal.


    "Then what department will I be in?" Everly asked.


    "You''ll know tomorrow." Maverick still kept her guessing.


    Everly wanted to say something, but the man had passed her and walked inside.


    The moment he passed her, he stopped. Everly saw that he was standing still, so she followed suit.


    Their shoulders faced each other.


    Everly was puzzled, so she turned around and saw Maverick looking at her shoulder.


    Because of the height, he looked down at her.


    Everly frowned. Just as she was about to ask what he was looking at...


    Maverick suddenly stretched out his hand. He grabbed her shoulder with his big palm. Everly was


    dumbfounded. Just as she was about to struggle, he sneered, "Are you sure you weren''t wearing this


    on purpose?"


    Everly didn''t know what was going on. Wearing what? On purpose?


    Maverick''s palm slid across her round shoulder.


    She subconsciously trembled.


    Afterwards, the man''s domineering aura dissipated slightly, and his following sentence froze Everly on


    the spot as if she had been struck by lightning.


    "You want people''s attention that much? Then, Miss Everly, you had mine."


    After he finished speaking, he walked into the corner in front of her.


    At this moment, Everly seemed to realize something. She reached out and touched her shoulder. Her


    face flushed.


    Her bra strap!


    When was it loosened?


    Today, she was wearing white clothes without a coat because she worked indoors.


    It had a V-shaped cor, and the loosened strap was very eye-catching.

 Chapter 20 Mommy, I Want Crane Kindergarten

    Chapter 20 Mommy, I Want Crane Kindergarten


    Edmond nned to use every method to let Mommy meet that handsome man.


    Although his mother was a little dumb, she was good-looking.


    And she was kind. She was the best mom in the world.


    Candy was irritating, but now he found her look like his mom.


    Her eyes were big and watery. They were so charming.


    It seemed that Candy got cuter when he thought of this.


    Edmond was delighted, but he didn''t want him mother to just check out because he had spared great


    effort to have hering.


    "Mommy, I just saw that handsome man." Edmond didn''t want to miss such a good opportunity. That


    man wouldn''t give him the contact information and wouldn''t tell him anything. He had to hurry up and


    introduce a good man to Mommy.


    Everly paused as she was about to take out her purse.


    Handsome man?


    She seemed to suddenly realize something. Was Maverick the handsome man who was sent over by


    an assistant and was mentioned to her twice by her son?


    Otherwise, there wouldn''t be such a coincidence.


    Didn''t she just meet that bastard in the bathroom?


    Thinking about what happened just now, Everly''s was still depressed. She looked at her son again.


    Every time he talked about the handsome man, he was excited.


    She had a headache. "Oh, you are so lucky. Seeing him is enough. Let''s go home."


    Edmond was unhappy, "Mommy, he helped me twice and even gave me gifts. Let''s go get to know


    each other."


    Everly was facing a great enemy. The enemy was not her son, but her weird rtionship with Maverick.


    "Edmond, we have to go. I have urgent matters to deal with, I have to hurry." Everly didn''t give her son


    any chance to speak. She paid the bill and pulled Edmond out of the restaurant.


    She decided that she would definitely note to this ce again.


    *


    Because she didn''t agree to her son''s request, Edmond''s face was cold all the way home.


    Everly didn''t know what to say. When they were almost home, she said, "Edmond, don''t be like that.


    You eagerly want me to be hooked up with by a man, right?"


    Edmond snorted with disdain.


    Everly had a headache and coaxed him, "Alright, alright, I will do it next time, okay? I am not ready for


    this. Didn''t you say that the man was handsome? Look at me, I didn''t dress up."


    Edmond turned around and said seriously, "Mommy, you look good. Don''t ... don''t be unconfident."


    "Then can you promise me one thing?" Since Mommy hadpromised enough, Edmond would take


    it. "I want to start kindergarten here."


    The matter of staying here was basically decided, but she had to go to the United States to go through


    some formalities.


    However, Edmond couldn''t be away from kindergarten all the time, so Everly agreed straightforwardly,


    "Alright, I''ll find you a good one."


    "I want Crane Kindergarten," Edmond said.


    ...


    Everly did not know how her son knew about Crane Kindergarten.


    Since she had decided to stay and it was rare for Edmond to make his decision, of course she would


    not object. She asked Hendrix to inquire about it and learned that it was a high-ss kindergarten and


    kids in it were from either rich or powerful families.


    Hendrix said breezily, "It''s fine. Isn''t my nephew also born with a silver spoon? I will back him up. Don''t


    worry, I''ll take care of Edmond''s schooling."


    Everly didn''t have the time to bother with the kindergarten because the restructuring of the LAL branch


    would start the next day.


    Just as she arrived at thepany this morning, the gossipy Garry came over and said, "The person in


    charge of the Lamont Group will be here today."


    "I heard it''s Maverick."


    Everly was sorting out the documents in her hand. Hearing this, she paused for a moment, but it didn''t


    seem to surprise her.


    Yesterday, when she met Maverick, he had reminded her. Since he woulde here, she would


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    probably have to have a work handover and follow him to the headquarters.


    Although Everly was telling herself that the ce she worked on and the people she worked with made


    no difference to her job...


    Somehow, when she thought of having to meet Maverick every day in the future, she was somewhat


    anxious.


    At the same time, a ck Bentley was heading towards LAL.


    The atmosphere in the car was tense.


    Jayden didn''t dare to say anything.


    Mr. Maverick was sitting in the back seat with his phone in his hand.


    As for the sudden acquisition of LAL, it was clear that Will had a lot of opinions.


    From a distance, Jayden could hear Will shouting at Maverick. "Are you crazy? Though you are in


    charge of the Lamont Group, it doesn''t mean you can be so unscrupulous!"


    "Do you have to acquire LAL in such a hurry? Don''t you know that Den has been getting ready for


    that?"


    " ... Also, you''ve been hiding from us. How long will you hide away?"


    " ... I know what you''re capable of, but don''t forget, you''re from the Lamont family. Yourst name is


    Lamont, and I''m your father!"


    Maverick''s expression was indifferent, but the faintly discernible emotion on his face was rage.


    Jayden peeped at the man from the rearview mirror several times and not dared to breathe heavily.


    Mr. Maverick had an aloof personality, and he wouldn''t have much emotion towards anyone he met.


    Actually, he just didn''t bother to care, but when he became furious, it would be scaring.


    In these past few years, Jayden had seen Mr. Maverick get angry only once.


    His rage could sweep over everything in the world.


    "What else?" Will was chattering, but Maverick just said calmly.


    Will was astounded.


    Maverick''s face darkened as he said, "I will only say this once. Don''t question me in any decision I


    make about business."


    His tone was so indifference, Will must be furious.


    Maverick reached out and tugged at his cor. "I''m busy. If you want to say these bullshit to me again,


    save it."


    The call was hung up.


    Jayden looked at the road ahead and estimated that they would arrive at LAL in five minutes.


    He thought for a moment, then turned around and handed over a document. "Mr. Maverick, this is the


    information of branch of LAL. I have told thepany to hold a meeting when you arrive."


    Maverick was in a bad mood and just perfunctorily responded.


    After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "What''s Den Rice''s situation?"


    Jayden was in a daze and didn''te to himself until he heard the name of Den Rice. Den was


    bound to acquire a branch of LAL which was in this city, but Mr. Maverick beat him to the punch.


    Actually, Jayden knew that the decision to acquire LAL was suddenly made by Mr. Maverick. The price


    of the acquisition could be renegotiated.


    Although he didn''t know why Mr. Maverick was so eager, he believed that the decision was 100% right.


    "Mr. Den has always wanted to acquire the LAL branch and he has made several trips to the United


    States. We acted quicker this time, so he was probably caught off guard."


    Jayden paused for a moment and continued, "Mr. Den and Will are quite close."


    Maverick sneered and didn''t say anything else.


    When the car arrived at LAL''s parking lot, Maverick said to Jayden, "You have to stay here. They have


    a lot of projects that are showing signs of loss. You have to keep an eye on them."


    Jayden was surprised. Did Mr. Maverick mean that he had been promoted?


    "Mr. Maverick, what about your assistant?"


    "I''ve found a candidate."

 Chapter 21 An Internally-wild and Jealous Man

    Chapter 21 An Internally-wild and Jealous Man


    Everly contacted someone in the United States. If Edmond wanted to start the kindergarten here, she


    had to go back.


    Back then, when she gave birth to him, she had asked someone to register so that Edmond could have


    a legal identity.


    Actually, it was a long story.


    It was not convenient to make a phone call during working hours, so she sent a text message and


    described her situation in it.


    Garry moved closer. "Miss Everly..."


    Everly put away her phone and said, "What''s up?"


    "Mr. Neil wants to see you."


    "Mr. Neil?"


    "Yeah, I guess he wants to return your coat." At the party, he had her coat all the time.


    Everly wasn''t very familiar with thepany. Garry told her where Neil''s office was, but it still took her


    a long time to find it.


    It was not on her floor. Just as she got out of the elevator, she saw Neil standing at the elevator door


    with her coat on his wrist.


    Everly was surprised, but Neil spoke first, "Everly?"


    He directly called her name in thepany. Though Everly felt a little strange in her heart, she was


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    somewhat slow in some aspects and didn''t figure out what the feeling was. She pointed at the coat


    hanging on the man''s arm and said, "General manager, this is mine. I forgot to take it back, I''m sorry.


    Thank you."


    As she spoke, Neil had stepped into the elevator.


    But he didn''t hand over the coat to her. "Everly, I saw you at a meeting at the Americanpanyst


    time. Did you remember?"


    Did he?


    Everly tried her best to recall it, but she couldn''t remember.


    Just as she was about to speak, the elevator suddenly stopped. Someone stopped it and when the


    door was opening, Neil said, "Actually, I told Brielle that you were going toe back anyway. Now


    that you''ve been transferred back, let me know if you find it hard to fit in. Don''t worry, although the


    person controlling LAL has been changed, I won''t let you lose your job."


    As he spoke, the elevator door was open. Everly saw a tall man along with his white shirt at a nce.


    " ... This is your coat. I had someone wash it."


    In fact, Everly did not hear Neil''s words clearly because she smelt a special masculine scent.


    Her attention was distracted.


    At the entrance of the elevator, the standing man had a cold expression and a gloomy look in his eyes.


    Everly felt that she was insane.


    Otherwise, why would she feel like being caught in adultery?


    What the hell.


    She frowned and suppressed this bizarre thought.


    Neil saw the man in front of the elevator and greeted him, "Oh, it''s Mr. Maverick."


    Generally speaking, people like Maverick definitely didn''t like sharing an elevator with others. Besides,


    this elevator was of medium size, and there were already two people in it.


    However, in just a few seconds, the man at the door lifted his long legs and walked into the elevator.


    Neil was surprised and stepped aside.


    Everly didn''t greet him from the moment she saw him to now. At this moment, the word "Mr. Maverick"


    was stuck in her throat, and for some reason, she found it embarrassing to say it out.


    How would Neil know that Maverick and Everly had had a lot of "shes"?


    He knew how he was looking at Everly, and he didn''t conceal that.


    Right now, Everly''s coat was still on his arm. He ttered himself by thinking that Everly''s rtionship


    with him was somewhat special.


    Therefore, Neil made a move that he felt was normal.


    He stretched out his hand and gently pulled Everly''s arm. The building was heated, so Everly did not


    wear a coat and her sleeve was slightly rolled up by him. She couldn''t help frowning and moved away


    when her fair and tender arm was touched by an unfamiliar man.


    The inner surface of the elevator was as shiny as a mirror.


    Maverick''s eyes seemed to have caught something. His handsome face was still expressionless, but


    he didn''t notice that his gaze had be affectionate.


    Neil was embarrassed as he said, "Everly, hurry up and greet our new boss. From now on, we will be


    under the Lamont Group."


    The corner of Everly''s mouth twitched and she said awkwardly, "... Mr. Maverick."


    She calmed down and asked, "Which floor is Mr. Maverick going to?"


    Maverick did not answer. His expression was chill. He wished he could freeze this small elevator.


    Jayden, who was beside him, coughed softly and said, "There will be a meeting. Mr. Neil, it just so


    happens that you are here. Get the documents readyter. I contacted you yesterday."


    Neil smiled and said, "No problem."


    He then elbowed Everly and said, "The conference room."


    Everly did not like the rude and intimate attitude he had.


    She thought to herself that she was not familiar with Neil. She had long since forgotten about seeing


    him in the US headquarters in a meeting, but he acted as if they were very close to each other...


    Everly frowned, but she did not say anything.


    Neil added, "Your coat."


    Everly took the coat ungainly. A momentter, she said, "Thank you."


    She didn''t know if it was an illusion.


    The moment she took the coat, she felt as if there was a sharp gaze sweeping across her arm. She felt


    her entire body tremble. But when she raised her head, nothing special was reflected by the elevator''s


    inner surface.


    She just felt cold, a freezing coldness.


    She couldn''t help but reach out and rub her arm.


    She thought that it must be because of Maverick. This person was so cold, and she was also a little


    stilted.


    When the elevator reached the floor of the conference room, Everly did not lift her foot. Neil had to


    prepare documents, so she had to return to her office after they all left.


    Jayden took the lead and walked out of the elevator. He stretched out his hand and pressed the button,


    waiting for Maverick toe out.


    Everly thought that he was finally leaving...


    As soon as this thought shed through her mind, a deep voice sounded in front of her, "Miss Everly,


    <pe with me."

 Chapter 22 Whoever Resigns Is a Coward!

    Chapter 22 Whoever Resigns Is a Coward!


    "Everly, do you know Mr. Maverick?"


    Maverick and Jayden both walked out of the elevator. Seemingly puzzled, Neil stopped Everly and


    looked at her significantly.


    Everly disliked what he had done.


    He even behaved as if they were close to each other and seemed to have taken it for granted that she


    should let him know whatever she did.


    She forced a smile, "I was trying to get the investment of Lamont Group after I returned home, so I


    knew him."


    Neil looked more surprised. "Really? So you knew that our branch would be taken over by Lamont


    Group?"


    "It has been taken over, hasn''t it?"


    "Well, I thought you didn''t know."


    Everly frowned. She didn''t know what to say, so she stayed quiet. Maverick had asked her to follow


    him. She didn''t want to waste any more time on Neil, lest Maverick is provoked. So she just nodded


    slightly at Neil and walked out of the elevator.


    However, Neil misunderstood her for what she had done.


    Neil hadn''t got divorced when he saw her in America.


    At that time, he learned that Everly did a good job and Brielle spoke highly of her. To him, Everly was a


    typical girl raised up in a water town in the south of China who was good-looking with fair skin.


    He asked Brielle a few times to let Everly return home before.


    Neil was a veteran of LAL. His cousin was one of the founders of LAL and had a high status.


    Besides, he was kind of popr in LAL.


    So in most cases, women sucked up to him.


    When Everly returned home, Neil had already got divorced. He nned to court her, but he didn''t


    expect her to be close to Maverick.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    It seemed that she was not a good woman either.


    He had the intention to court Everly inmon ways before. But she seemed to be a woman who sold


    her body for a higher position.


    He smiled coldly and pressed the button to close the door of the elevator.


    ''I don''t mind having sex with a woman who slept with Maverick.'' Neil thought.


    ''I''m going to have sex with her.''


    *


    Everly did not know that a wretched man was scheming against her.


    Maverick was standing at the end of the aisle, and his assistant had already disappeared.


    Everly hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward, "Mr. Maverick."


    As she got closer to him, she found that he was smoking.


    There was a window at the end of the aisle, but it was always closed. So, the air was already filled with


    a faint smell of tobo with Maverick''s smoke.


    "What can I do for you?" Everly asked directly.


    Maverick looked at the coat hanging on her arm, and his eyes narrowed as he smoked silently.


    Everly didn''t raise her head. But she could feel that the smell of tobo was getting stronger and


    stronger in the air.


    She knitted her brows slightly, "Mr. Maverick."


    Maverick snorted.


    Everly was somewhat puzzled. She finally raised her head and looked into Maverick''s eyes. Somehow,


    she felt that he was looking at her with disdain.


    Everly was displeased by the disdain and what had happened at that restaurant the other day.


    Even though she knew that Maverick hadn''t gone too far, she was still a little annoyed.


    She thought of her bra strap and his big palm on her shoulder...


    Everly finally couldn''t help but ask, "Mr. Maverick, let''s cut to the chase. Don''t stare at me like that."


    "You''re hostile towards me," Maverick said firmly.


    Everly didn''t hold back anymore. To be honest, she didn''t think that only she was to me for what


    happened between her and Maverick.


    Anyway, it took two to tango. So there was no need for her to walk on eggshells.


    "Mr. Maverick, you''re wrong. You''re the one picking on me, aren''t you? After all, you lost face because


    of me."


    Surprisingly, Maverick wasn''t angry about her boldness. He smiled faintly and took a puff of his


    cigarette. "Is that so? Well, it takes one to know one."


    "What are you trying to say?"


    "Do you know which position you''ve been assigned to?"


    "I haven''t been informed by the Personnel Department."


    Maverick looked at her and dusted off his cigarette. "You don''t need to attend the meetingter. Wait for


    me in the underground parking lot in half an hour."


    After a pause, he asked, "Can you drive?"


    Everly subconsciously said, "I was in the United States before, so I have no driving license in China..."


    "Why don''t I need to attend the meeting? Why should I go to the parking lot?"


    "From now on, you are my personal secretary. Get your driver''s license in China. You will have to drive


    someday."


    Everly was shocked, "What? I''m your secretary now?"


    "You don''t want to be?"


    Maverick had been trying to suppress his inexplicable anger since they were in the elevator. Suddenly


    he found a vent. He couldn''t help but say something out of his character.


    "You must be quite reluctant to part with Mr. Neil, right?"


    Everly gave no reply.


    "He looks just like a dead dog. Is this your taste in men?" He held her up to ridicule.


    Everly finally took a tumble.


    She was annoyed by his words. The coat hanging on her arm was like a hot potato burning her skin.


    She was angrier than shocked.


    She wanted to curse him, but words wouldn''te out of her mouth.


    Maverick looked at her with a sour smile through the white smoke. She felt as if her throat was blocked.


    As she finally spoke, her words turned out to be deviated from what she had expected.


    "It has nothing to do with you. Now that you look down on me, why did you choose me as your


    secretary? Is this your taste? Unbelievable!"


    Maverick stopped smoking.


    His eyes darkened.


    "Don''t you want to prove yourpetence? I''ll give you a chance."


    Everly raised her eyebrows and said, "Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. Maverick. I will not let you


    down."


    Maverick smiled coldly, "Miss Everly, hold that thought. I''m afraid that you might quit the job for not


    being up for the challenge."


    Provoked by his words, Everly gritted her teeth. "Mr. Maverick, don''t worry. I am tough and patient."


    Still annoyed, she added after a pause, "Whoever resigns is a coward!"


    Maverick put his cigarette out and threw it into the trash can at the end of the aisle. Before he left, he


    nced at Everly again, seeming much happier.


    "Miss Everly, can''t you live without a man? A middle-aged man like him won''t satisfy you."


    ...


    Everly didn''t recover from anger until he walked away.


    And she finally realized that Maverick was talking about Neil.


    Her face turned red out of anger!

 Chapter 23 Have You Always Been This Popular?

    Chapter 23 Have You Always Been This Popr?


    Since Everly had just returned home, she had nothing much to deal with.


    In the afternoon, she went to the Lamont Group with Maverick.


    She hadn''t got a Chinese driver''s license, so it was Maverick who drove.


    After arriving at The Lamont Group, she got much work handed over to her, and Maverick was also


    very busy. Therefore, they didn''t bicker like they did at LAL anymore.


    Everly was very persistent in her work.


    Moreover, she had boasted that she would never resign, so she would delve into the real work. It could


    not be denied that actually she got a promotion. The Lamont Group provided good benefits.


    As she thought about that, she felt moreforted.


    In the whole afternoon, Jayden was busy with the handover. Thinking of her son, Everly wanted to say


    something, but on second thought, she felt it pointless.


    Actually, she did not have a good impression of Maverick, nor did she have a good impression of his


    assistant. Work was just work. Otherwise, people would mistake her for a woman interested in


    Maverick.


    It was the first day of Edmond in kindergarten. In the morning, she asked Hendrix to send Edmond to


    school because she needed to go to work.


    Everly guessed that she wouldn''t be able to pick Edmond up in the afternoon either. His sses must


    have been over after she got off work.


    Therefore, she contacted Hendrix and asked him to send a chauffeur to pick Edmond up.


    Hendrix agreed.


    Everly checked the time. At about 4:30 pm, Maverick called her and told her to be prepared for a dinner


    with him in the evening.


    It should be a bona fide secretarial duty this time.


    Everly had no choice but to agree. She called Gloria and told her that she couldn''t go home for dinner


    because she needed to go to a dinner party with her boss.


    Everly hadn''t told Hendrix that she had be Maverick''s secretary.


    **


    On the way to the dinner party, Everly and Maverick sat in the same car.


    Along the way, Maverick was busy with his work and seemed to have no time to talk to her.


    Everly wanted to ask him what kind of dinner party they were going to.


    But he was so busy, so she asked nothing.


    There was a frigid atmosphere in the car. Everly felt that working with a cold man like Maverick steeled


    herself to some extent.


    After half an hour''s journey, the sky had already darkened by the time they arrived at the restaurant.


    Everly got off the car with Maverick. The phone in her hand suddenly rang. She picked it up and found


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    it was an overseas call from Jack.


    Everly had to answer the phone, "Jack?" She subconsciously slowed down. Jack was very busy and it


    must have something to do with Edmond, so she must answer the phone.


    Maverick heard her talk with someone in fluent English on the phone.


    He couldn''t hear the other side. But he heard Everly say in English, "That''s great. I''ve got a job. I''ll visit


    you once I have time. Thank you very much for what you''ve done all these years."


    Then she said, "What? Really? Are you visiting China? Isn''t it inconvenient for you?"


    Evidently, Everly had heard something pleasant. She smiled brightly with her eyebrows curved and her


    dimples showing.


    Maverick stood in front of the elevator while Everly was chatting on the phone.


    He looked at the smiling face reflected on the elevator door.


    She had never smiled at him like this.


    Suddenly, he felt annoyed.


    Everly could clearly feel Maverick''s discontent. She suddenly realized that she was still at work and


    shouldn''t make personal calls. So she immediately lowered her voice and said, "Great. See you then. I


    will show you around. Well, I''m busy now. I gotta go. Bye-bye."


    ...


    She put away her phone and the elevator door opened.


    With a gloomy face, Maverick walked into the elevator silently. Everly hurriedly followed him in.


    The door of the elevator closed. Everly hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Mr. Maverick, what


    kind of dinner party are we going to?"


    Maverick raised his hand to buckle the cufflink.


    But it seemed that he had failed. He directly raised his hand in front of Everly.


    Everly was puzzled.


    Maverick looked at her and said coldly in amanding tone, "Button it up."


    Surprised though, after hesitating for a moment, she reached out her hands to button the cufflink up for


    him.


    In fact, during her years of career, she had never done anything like this for a male boss.


    To button the cufflink, she subconsciously tilted towards Maverick. The elevator was so small that she


    could feel clearly his smell of masculinity.


    It smelled like sea salt with a very special fragrance of tea.


    She was not sure.


    She could not tell what exactly it was. It reminded her of something hidden deeper in her memories.


    But she couldn''t remember it clearly. So she held the button between her fingers in a trance.


    Maverick said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Is it difficult for you to button a cufflink?"


    Everly regained her senses at once and buttoned the cufflink quickly. She raised her head, only to find


    that they were standing very close.


    In great shock, she looked into Maverick''s dark and deep eyes.


    And she could feel that smell even more clearly.


    With embarrassment, she tried to step backward.


    Unfortunately, however, she sprained her ankle.


    ''It really wasn''t a good start.'' Everly thought.


    But a big hand supported her waist immediately.


    She didn''t fall down as expected, while she got closer to that cold face.


    Maverick''s face was very close to hers as his eyes narrowed and said in a low voice, "You''re popr


    among men. Is this your secret?"


    ...


    Regardless of the pain in her ankle, Everly hurriedly steadied herself and retreated.


    "I don''t know what you mean. Anyway, I don''t have any other intentions." She felt there were always


    implications -- sarcasm, in most cases -- in Maverick''s words.


    She didn''t know why he was so mean.


    They had already agreed to let it go!


    Why was he still lingering on that?


    He always sneered at her by saying that she couldn''t live without a man.


    Damn!


    She kept cursing in her heart.


    Maverick looked down at Everly who seemed obedient. Actually, he knew she was rolling her eyes at


    his shoes.


    As Everly lowered her head, he could see her fair skin on the back of her neck.


    Maverick breathed faster.


    Nothing special had happened, but his heart softened for no reason.


    He suddenly approached her and pushed her against the wall of the elevator. She raised her head in


    panic and heard his low and hoarse voice, "Don''t you understand what I mean?"

 Chapter 24 Take Her to Dinner

    Chapter 24 Take Her to Dinner


    Everly was a little confused.


    She didn''t understand what Maverick meant.


    Right now, he was tightly clinging to her, and there were only them in the elevator.


    She paused, but she was still unable to control the tyrannical male hormone from Maverick. It smelt as


    the smell of sea salt...


    She was disturbed.


    She felt that this smell was somewhat familiar.


    However, it seemed to be a long time ago. Everly was unable to remember when she smelt it before.


    Even if Everly tried her best to think back, she couldn''t remember it.


    Her mind seemed to be frozen. Everly just stared straight at Maverick with her pair of big eyes.


    Her eyes were clean and pure. He really couldn''t associate them with bad intentions.


    However, Maverick had known how charming she was on the bed.


    He cursed to himself.


    Before Everly could speak, they had already reached their floor.


    With a small sound, the door opened. The fresh air rushed into the elevator, causing Everly to wake up.


    She subconsciously turned her head away and stood to the side.


    After thinking for a while, she walked out of the elevator.


    She had just sprained it a little, but it didn''t affect her. It was a little painful but she could endure.


    Maverick nced at her ankle. The exposed part of her ankle was very white, catching his eyes.


    Maverick pursed his lips and walked out of the elevator.


    Everly followed behind him awkwardly. Fortunately, the manager of the restaurant came to wee


    them.


    Although Maverick kept a straight face, the manager stillughed warmly, "Mr. Maverick, wee.


    We''re all ready. This way, please."


    Maverick just nodded and didn''t say anything.


    The manager bent down enthusiastically and led the way.


    Everly followed Maverick. Quickly, they reached the private room and the manager left.


    When Maverick entered the room, everyone here stood up in unison.


    Everly was not very surprised as she followed behind. After all, she had done business abroad in the


    past. When she met investors who were Chinese, they always had such a routine.


    It was the first time she hade out with someone of Maverick''s status.


    Maverick was seated at the head of the table. Everly was together with him, so she naturally sat beside


    him.


    She briefly observed the people in the room. She knew most of them. They were all high-ranking


    people. She didn''t know why Maverick had brought her to this dinner party today. There were a few


    unfamiliar people, but judging from this situation, they couldn''t be the little people.


    Maverick did not introduce Everly to others.


    However, Everly did not know that Maverick had never brought a woman to socialize or attend various


    banquets. At most, a male assistant would follow him.


    As for her clothes, everyone present was experienced and had his own ideas.


    She might be a secretary or something.


    Since Maverick had brought her here today, she might be somewhat different, but... it was hard to say.


    Perhaps he had brought her here to help him drink.


    Therefore, after sitting down, someone immediately took out a ss of wine and nned to have a try.


    As Everly sat down, a middle-aged man on the other side handed over a ss of wine and smiled. "Mr.


    Maverick iste. We have to punish him. But we still have businesster. Let the secretary have a drink


    first."


    Everly was stunned for a moment. His words made her ufortable, but it wasn''t unbearable.


    Actually, she could drink a lot.


    Although she drank red wine abroad most of the time, it was clear that the wine they passed over was


    liquor.


    Everly thought that Maverick had brought her here only to help him drink. They were all high-ranking


    officials. Therefore, she stood up, took the liquor and immediately drank them.


    Maverick frowned.


    Just as Maverick was about to raise his hand, he was frozen halfway by Everly''s quick action.


    Maverick pursed his lips. His hand instead grabbed his cup, and he flicked against the cup with his


    fingers. It was hard to tell from his face how he felt.


    After Everly drank them, she felt as if a fire burned in her stomach.


    Damn, the liquor...


    Everly hurriedly ate some food and heard someone say, "Well, she has a high tolerance for alcohol.


    She''s emptied her ss. She is a straightforward girl!"


    After eating a few mouthfuls of food, Everly felt much morefortable.


    She raised her head and smiled at them without saying anything.


    However, everyone else understood that Mr. Maverick was probably brought her to help him drink.


    They could toast as much as they liked in a moment.


    She drank a ss of wine and could rest for a while.


    The few of them began to talk about business.


    Maverick was indifferent, and he didn''t eat much, let alone drink. He just smoked cigarettes.


    Everly subconsciously nced at the man sitting beside her.


    He didn''t have much to say. His posture was pleasant and casual. His aura of looking down on all living


    beings like a sovereign was innate.


    However, at this moment, he drew in his sharpness as if half of it was covered by the white smoke. It


    was hard to tell from his face what he was thinking.


    A middle-aged man on the other side suddenly said, "Maverick, what is the Kahl family''s attitude now?"


    Another voice sounded, "Well, your Uncle Jenson is really interested in that project. He has been


    preparing for it for two years. If you really shed head-on, you might not be his opponent. What do


    you think?"


    Everly was picking up the fish when she heard this. She paused slightly.


    The Kahl Family? ... Uncle Jenson?


    She quickly remembered that in the information she had checked with Maverick, the Kahl family was


    indeed in it.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Jenson Kahl?


    Right, it was Jenson Kahl. The Lamont family, the Kahl family, and the Croke family were the richest


    and most powerful families in City C.


    Everly had been away from City C for a few years. She didn''t know much about the few wealthy


    families in City C. At this moment, she only remembered that the shallow information she had read did


    mention that the Kahl family and the Lamont family were still rted by marriage or something.


    So, Jenson is Maverick''s uncle?


    Jenson should have two daughters, right? One of them is engaged to Maverick?


    ...


    "The Kahl family''s thought... How would I know?" Maverick smiled and said. Suddenly, he looked away


    and saw the girl next to him holding the chopsticks with her tender fair fingers. The end of the


    chopsticks stabbed at the fish without moving.


    She looked down with a thoughtful expression. It was hard to say what she was thinking.


    There was a heating in the room. Probably the vent was towards her. At this moment, the warm wind


    blew on her neck, and her ck hair seemed to be floating on her corbone.


    Maverick wanted to reach out and help her adjust it.


    He put down the cigarette and pinched her hand to help her pick up the fish from the te.


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat, and her messy thoughts were interrupted. She subconsciously raised her


    head.


    Maverick swallowed the smoke and looked at her, "Well, you want the fish?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table looked over.


    Everly felt extremely embarrassed. She quickly retracted her hand and smiled stiffly. "No... Mr.


    Maverick, what do you want? Wine? Let me get you a ss of wine."


    Before Maverick could speak, someone stood up and handed over another ss of liquor.


    "Come on. Let''s drink. The girl just emptied the ss. Her alcohol tolerance is very good. Let''s have a


    drink again."


    ...

 Chapter 25 Maverick?

    Chapter 25 Maverick?


    Maverick didn''t take a sip.


    However, Everly drank quite a lot.


    She had a vague impression that she was drunk, but she still kept a clear head.


    When another ss of wine was handed to her, Everly felt that something was blocking her throat, very


    ufortable.


    She knew that if she drank it, she would definitely be drunk.


    In the blink of an eye, a thick palm grabbed the ss.


    In fact, Everly thought she was drunk since she couldn''t see it clearly.


    However, she felt that she was sober, because she heard Maverick say. " ... She was drunk."


    His words were simple and short. Maybe because she was drunk, she heard something else from his


    words.


    There was something defensive and somewhat angry.


    Everly shook her head.


    She thought that she was so drunk that she could not think properly.


    Previously, she really felt that her head was at least clear, but Everly had left the country for five years.


    She really didn''t know how powerful this kind of wine was.


    She couldn''t hold on any longer, and her stomach was churning.


    Later, she realized something. She felt that Maverick, this bastard, had brought her here in order to


    take revenge, right?


    He wanted them to get her drunk.


    Bastard! Fraud!


    She snorted. She became weak and more and more unconscious. Then, she did not know whether she


    had said anything or not.


    However, she did not know that the man closest to her had heard it.


    Her head was on her hands, her cheeks were red, and she was pouting slightly. She was muttering


    something, and the entire room was noisy.


    Maverick looked at her watery eyes, which looked even more confused because of the alcohol.


    His heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head uncontrobly.


    " ... Maverick, bad...."


    Those words seemed to carry great magic power, and they were like some kind of anesthetic medicine.


    The moment they entered his ears, the man''s body stiffened subconsciously.


    He knew that he was clearly trembling.


    Bad?


    Why was he bad?


    He quietly licked his alveolus, and his eyes were more than dark in an instant.


    "Mr. Maverick''s secretary can drink well. She has already finished off half of the bottle."


    Someone suddenly said at the banquet.


    Maverick straightened his back, with his fingers still sping onto the rim of the ss. Hearing this, he


    paused for a moment. His voice did not carry any emotion. "I brought her here to see more of the


    world. This is Hendrix''s sister. You guys just got her drink too much."


    As soon as he said that, the others were surprised.


    Hendrix''s sister?


    Did Hendrix have a sister?


    None of them knew.


    However, the most important thing right now was not about Hendrix. Rather, they could tell that


    Maverick seemed to be ming them.


    Everyone at this table seemed to be trying to figure out what this unusual young man was thinking.


    Originally, they all felt that she must be someone important to Maverick since he took her here.


    They put out feelers and found they could toast her.


    At the table, Maverick seemed to have some physical contact with her. After all, he was a man.


    Everyone understood that. So they toasted her a few more times.


    This woman could drink a lot, and she was straightforward and not shy, so she got drunk soon.


    But now, Maverick seemed to be quite protective.


    Someone said boldly. "Everyone is overjoyed today, but Mr. Maverick, you don''t usually bring any


    women with you. When did you change to a female secretary?"


    "Her talent is definitely not with drinking." Maverick said in the same tone.


    That person was out of words, feeling a little embarrassed. He took a sip.


    Another person smiled and said. "I saw Jenson and his daughter a few days ago. By the way,


    Maverick, you really don''t intend to work with Jenson on that piece ofnd?"


    Maverick raised an eyebrow. "Business is business. You should all know how I am with business."


    Everyone had an answer in their mind, so they didn''t say anything else.


    After another few cups, Maverick finished a cigarette and finally stood up.


    The people at the table noticed it and stood up.


    Maverick picked up his coat and bent down. He patted Everly''s face gently. Seeing that she was


    confused, he asked gently. "Can you still walk?"


    Maybe she heard him, and maybe not. She stretched out her leg and kicked on the foot of the table.


    Then, she let out a loud cry.


    Before everyone could react, she stood up heroically. She looked like a king in the mountains and


    patrolled around. Finally, she looked at the face of the man beside her.


    Well, he was so handsome. That was him.


    Therefore, Everly stretched out her finger and tapped the tip of Maverick''s nose. She couldn''t help but


    burp again.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Little Maverick, bend over and help me walk."


    ! ! !


    ....


    The room fell into dead silence.

 Chapter 26 You Are So Cheeky When Youre Drunk

    Chapter 26 You Are So Cheeky When You''re Drunk


    "Hey bro, what do you think is the rtionship between Maverick and this woman?"


    The conversation could still be heard in the private room. Obviously, those who had been here since


    the beginning didn''t leave yet.


    "Isn''t that easy to tell? This woman wasn''t important to him at all. He''s just telling us that he doesn''t


    care whether he''s gonna ally with the Kahl family by marriage."


    "But I heard that the rtionship between Maverick and Jenson was always good."


    "That''s a long time ago. Maverick won''t be controlled so easily. I''ve heard that his assistant is a man


    and maybe his sexual orientation is abnormal. But now, it seems that he''s very interested in women. As


    for the daughter of Jenson, I don''t know whether Maverick likes her or not. He''s just yacting in front


    of us by bringing a woman to such a ce."


    "So you mean that we don''t need to show mercy to the Kahl Mansion on that piece ofnd?"


    "Didn''t you hear what he just said? As businessmen, we can''t think too much."


    "Then what about Jenson...."


    "Hey, we can''t care about so many things. We''ll do as Maverick has showed us. Jenson is not an idiot.


    He will find out the source of the problem."


    The other man paused for a moment before saying, "So he has deliberately found a woman to inform


    us?"


    Someone else said, "I don''t think so. I think he seems to be quite fond of that woman."


    "What happened just now was really unexpected. He actually carried that woman out."


    "Well, he''s a man."


    "Fine. No one knows what he''s gonna do to that woman tonight? By the way, we also helped Maverick.


    If the woman didn''t get drunk, there can''t be anything interesting tonight."


    ...


    Maverick indeed personally carried the woman out.


    Everly got goosebumps all over her body in the cold night breeze.


    She couldn''t help but shiver. She wanted to find a warm ce due to her instinct, so she


    subconsciously leaned against the man''s chest.


    Maverick felt that her warm breathing was tapping his heart, like a feather, which was soft and itchy.


    For a moment, he was truly unable to describe his feeling.


    The night five years ago, she was also drunk, much worse than now, but at that time, she was still able


    to walk.


    No! She could do more than just walk!


    She barged into his car, which he had personally driven there.


    He recalled that night and he clearly remembered every detail about what happened back then.


    Including every word she said to him.


    "Hey, are you lonely? Do you wanna have sex with me?"


    "What are you afraid of? I''m a virgin. You won''t suffer any loss."


    "I promise you that I''m really a virgin. I just want to find a handsome man with good skills. Don''t hurt


    me."


    "Why don''t you drive? Come on. Let''s find a hotel and enjoy the night. Just one night. It''s no big deal!"


    "I''m telling you. Although my cup size hasn''t reached 36D, I''m not bad. Besides, I have tender skin and


    beautiful legs. Am I not a good match to you?"


    "You actually cheated on me because I didn''t want to have sex with you. I allow you to do that. So just


    do it!"


    ...


    At that time, she wore makeup, but her facial features could still be clearly distinguished.


    Maverick frowned and looked down at the woman in his arms.


    She was very quiet now, like a little cat that was full and ready to sleep.


    Back then, she was cheated by a man. So she got drunk. Then she randomly found someone and


    wanted to have sex with him for the first time.


    After so many years, she seemed to have truly forgotten that the man was Maverick.


    Maverick didn''t know what to say, as if something was stuck in his throat. He felt really bad.


    Because he was thinking too much now, he would even think that if the man wasn''t him five years


    ago...


    The driver drove over and saw the boss hugging the secretary who had juste here. Maverick stood


    in the night breeze as he looked at the woman in his arms.


    The woman was very quiet. She just subconsciously held Maverick''s shirt.


    Through the windshield, it was hard to see Mr. Maverick''s facial expression at night.


    When the driver got a little closer, with good eyesight, he saw a hint of softness in Mr. Maverick''s eyes.


    The driver who had been driving for Mr. Maverick''s for many years and had never seen such an


    expression on his face.


    There was one moment that the driver even felt that he might just be dizzy.


    When the driver stopped the car and rushed out to help support Secretary Everly, Mr. Maverick''s


    expression was still cold as always. The tenderness in his eyes had disappeared.


    Only then did the driver confirm that he must have misread it.


    The car started. The driver looked through the rearview mirror at the man behind him. Probably


    because the temperature in the car had risen, secretary Everly, who was lying quietly, suddenly


    whined. She pulled her cor and shouted, "So ufortable. Maverick, where are you? I want to


    drink water now."


    "..."


    Maverick''s face darkened. Was she addicted to acting?


    The man suddenly stretched out to hold her chin. He gritted and said, "Everly, open your eyes and see


    who I am. Don''t be a mad woman in front of me!"


    The driver originally wanted to ask where they should go first.


    Now he didn''t dare to speak.


    How could Everly know all this? She was already drunk, for she drank half a kilogram of liquor. She


    wasn''t an alcoholic.


    Liquor waspletely different from red wine.


    Sitting in the car with high temperature, Everly felt the alcohol surging vigorously in her body. Her throat


    was dry and she felt ufortable.


    Someone dared to squeeze her chin?


    It hurt, okay?


    Everly tried to open her eyes. She patted the hand that off her chin and became even more impatient.


    "Hey, let go of me. Let go! Holy shit! How dare you do this to me?"


    "..."


    "What are you talking about?" Maverick''s face was livid.


    Everly was clearly a drunkard, yet he was still arguing with her.


    "Can''t you hear what I''m saying? I''m asking you questions right now, you bastard. You always bully me,


    ask me to moan and force me to be your damn secretary. And you even ask me to drink wine instead


    of you, you bastard! Do you know that you''re really not like a real man?


    Maverick sneered, "Everly, you are not drunk, right?"


    Was she pretending to be drunk and cursing him intentionally?


    Maverick reached out to knock on the driver''s seat, asking him to lift the soundproof ss. He wanted


    to go to Everly''s house first. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he didn''t know where she


    lived.


    Actually, he could let the driver ask Jayden.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    However, he bit back his words and only told the driver, "Go to my vi."


    After the soundproof sspletely rose, Maverick loosened his cor and turned to look at the


    woman, who was lying at the window.


    She grasped the edge of the window and looked very pitiful. The window was foggy because of the


    temperature inside the car was different from the outside.


    She pouted and kept kissing the window


    Maverick swallowed. Without even thinking about it, he suddenly grabbed her shoulder with one hand


    and gently held her hair with the other.


    The he heard a low moaning from her.


    The voice was so feeble that Maverick felt he was going to be burned up.


    He leaned over and pressed his lips on hers. Then he said in a hoarse and low voice, "Are you always


    so coquettish when you get drunk? You want to kiss? Can the window taste better than


    me?"

 Chapter 27 Babe

    Chapter 27 Babe


    Actually, Maverick didn''t have a strong desire for sex.


    This was rted to the environment where he lived in since his childhood. When he grew up, he was


    sent to be trained secretly in a special troop for three years. After he returned, he always wore a suit


    and a pair of gold-rimmed sses those years. Fully dressed, he looked quite aloof.


    In fact, he had put most of his energy on other things. So he could control his sexual desire.


    The only time he lost control was that night five years ago.


    Thinking about it now, he thought that many things were predetermined.


    That night, he also drank a little wine, but he was very sober.


    There was a very special smell on her body, which wasn''t like the normal perfume. He remembered it


    clearly. At that time, he almost lost control. And he just couldn''t help it.


    Afterwards, he couldn''t stand Everly''s enthusiasm and they went to the hotel.


    After pushing open the door of the hotel, they directly went into the bedroom.


    She said it was her first time to have sex, but he didn''t believe it.


    However, when that moment really came, he suddenly realized that she was not lying.


    Maverick was so impatient at that time.


    Actually, he didn''t have much patience at any time. But at that night, his temper softened and he


    showed tenderness towards her for the first time.


    She was crying all this time, and was not submissive at all.


    Although Maverick didn''t want to admit it, it was indeed his first time to have sex as well.


    Afterwards, he gradually became skilled, but it was still very tiring.


    He had to try to stop her from crying. He actually remembered how he kissed her face, eyes, nose, and


    mouth...


    But he never felt that he was coaxing her.


    Before dawn, he received a phone call from Italy and left in a hurry.


    Before he left, he wanted to leave her his phone number when he thought of that she had just


    experienced her first sex. However, there were many things he wasn''t be certain. He looked at the face


    that looked so young.


    She was probably not more than 20 years old.


    Maverick was a little irritated. Just as he picked up the pen to write the number, he stopped. Then, he


    left without a backward nce.


    In the following years, he had never recalled anything about that night.


    It was just a one-night stand. That''s all.


    He had too much work to do and he didn''t have time to care about a woman who spent only one night


    with him.


    Therefore, when Everly knocked on the door of his room, he only felt a little familiar at first nce.


    After she entered his room, he remembered everything.


    When he was being trained in the army, even though he couldn''t see a thing once and remembered it,


    his memory was still much better than that of ordinary people. And he was also very cautious.


    At first, he felt that this woman did it on purpose.


    She pretended to forget that night.


    Afterwards, he thought of a terrifying fact.


    He still remembered that night clearly, but she seemed to havepletely forgotten everything.


    Jayden did not know why he suddenly took over the LAL. However, Maverick was very clear that he


    took over LAL because of Everly.


    People could never deceive themselves.


    However, he wasn''t interested in her. He just felt that since she was a woman who had spent a night


    with him, he wanted to observe her carefully by letting her stay by his side. Did she really want to get


    nothing from him?


    That was his n.


    He didn''t know why he could suppress his desire when looking at her red lips.


    What did her tender lips taste like in his memory? He couldn''t recall it clearly.


    When he kissed her lips, the special feeling was like that an electric shock.


    He froze for a moment.


    The woman below him seemed to have the same feeling.


    She suddenly opened her eyes.


    Maverick stared at her without blinking. He could clearly see his own face reflected in her bright eyes at


    such a close distance.


    Countless emotions were buried in her eyes.


    Maverick was so clever that he could clearly read those emotions when Everly didn''t conceal them.


    There were surprise, confusion, and disbelief. In the end, they all turned into embarrassment.


    She seemed to move a little, and then she slightly sighed and muttered, "How could it be you ... Is it


    because I''ve always stayed with you recently? But, it shouldn''t be you...."


    As she spoke, her soft lips swept past Maverick''s.


    Maverick breathed heavily. He could hear what she said clearly, but he couldn''t understand what she


    meant.


    Then he heard, "Ma, Maverick, don''t do that. I''m very troubled if you continue to be like this..."


    Maverick frowned.


    He supported the back of her head. Just as he was about to say something, there came a cheerful

    ringtone.


    He was sure it wasn''t his phone. It was Everly''s.


    But the woman who had been rattling away actually leaned against his chest and fell asleep.


    He could even feel her breath on his chest, which was soft and regr.


    What Everly said just now still echoed in Maverick''s ears. He even shivered because of her soft words.


    But the phone kept ringing.


    Maverick was extremely annoyed. Finally, he reached out and took out the phone from Everly''s pocket.


    With a nce at it, his expression suddenly turned gloomy.


    There was a caller ID on the screen of the phone.


    "Babe."


    And there was a picture of a male face below.


    With deep-set eyes, he looked like an Asian, about 30 years old.


    Hah, she was really good. She already found a man she loved?


    Maverick didn''t even think about it. The man on the picture wore makeup. Moreover, he didn''t look like


    an ordinary person, but more like a celebrity.


    However, Maverick only focused on that this woman actually had the number of a man and she called


    him "babe".


    His gaze fell on the woman''s face. She was still sleeping.


    He snorted and turned off the phone. Then he threw the phone on the seat. He also pushed away the


    woman who was sitting on his leg.


    *


    Edmond frowned. He raised his phone and said to Hendrix, "Uncle, no one answers the phone."


    Hendrix raised his wrist and looked at the time. It waste. Everly said that she was going to attend a


    social activity. But there was no news at all till since she left.


    Everly had just returned home. Hendrix was very worried about his sister. He thought for a moment and


    decided tofort his nephew first. "Don''t worry. Your mother told me that she was a little busy today. I


    will pick her upter. You go to bed first, okay? You still have to go to school tomorrow."


    Edmond had gotten over the jetg. As a child, he was very carefree. He yawned and then fell asleep


    as soon as hey down.


    Hendrix covered Edmond with a nket before he left the room. After pondering for a moment, he took


    out his phone and dialed number.


    The call was quickly answered.


    Before Hendrix could ask, the other party said, "She''s drunk. Since you contact me,e and pick her


    up."

 Chapter 28 Meet at the Kindergarten

    Chapter 28 Meet at the Kindergarten


    Damn hangover.


    Everly felt her head was about to explode.


    Recently, Everly woke herself up with the rm clock every day because of jetg.


    When she woke up today, she felt that her head was too heavy to lift.


    She sat up with her hands supporting her head. She felt thirsty and dry in her throat and even


    something wrong with her stomach.


    In a word, she felt dry all over.


    She vaguely remembered that she was drunk yesterday.


    However, she could not remember what had happened after getting drunk.


    In the past, Everly didn''t know that she would forget everything after getting drunk. And she still couldn''t


    remember it no matter how hard she tried to recall.


    Later, she knew it.


    Therefore, in the past few years, she had never been able to remember who the man she had a one-


    night stand with was back then.


    Everly stretched out her hand to press her temples and sat there dumbfounded for ten minutes, but still


    was unable to sober up.


    Hangover was terrible.


    But she still had to go to work today. Also, before she went to work yesterday, she promised Edmond to


    to take him to the kindergarten today.


    Looking at the time, Everly swallowed her saliva and got out of bed with her hands supporting herself.


    She staggered to the bathroom. When she was brushing her teeth and washing her face, Everly


    suddenly thought of something.


    No way. Wasn''t she drunkst night?


    How did she get home?


    She hurriedly washed her face, changed her clothes. When she went downstairs, she saw Edmond


    was eating breakfast in the living room. Seeing here her daughtering down, Gloria waved, "Come


    here to eat."


    Realizing that Everly wasn''t well, Gloria sighed, "Your brother sent you heretest night. He said that


    you drank too much. Everly, don''t work too hard. It''s unnecessary. We don''t need you to earn money to


    support our family."


    As she spoke, she brought out a bowl of tea which would help with the hangover, and said, "Here, drink


    this first."


    "Mom, it was my brother that sent me backst night?" Did she meet her brother at midnight?


    It shouldn''t be that coincidental.


    Did Maverick contact her brother?


    That was possible.


    Everly felt a little guilty. Now that her brother must know she had be that man''s secretary. It was a


    normal change of job, but she felt a little uneasy though she couldn''t tell why.


    "Who else could it be?" Gloria also sat down and said, "I have to go to the hospitalter. Your father is


    in good condition and will be discharged in a few days."


    "Okay, then I''ll go see him after work today."


    "There''s no need for you to go there." Gloria looked at her precious grandson and said, "Edmond, I will


    pick you up after school today, okay? I''ll take you to see Grandpa."


    Edmond swallowed the buns in his mouth and nodded, "Alright, Grandma."


    "Good boy."


    Everly hurriedly ate something and said, "Edmond, I will send you to schoolter."


    Edmond nodded.


    When the two of them left the house, Edmond said, "Mommy, I called you at midnightst night, but I


    was hung up. Uncle said you were drunk. Do you remember?"


    "Did you call me?" Everly took out her phone and checked. There was no missed call but she found


    Edmond''s call from the record. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I wasn''t sober so I hung


    up. Get in the car."


    The Farleys also had a driver. Hendrix specially got one after Edmond began to go to school.


    Crane Kindergarten was originally a high-end kindergarten for nobles, so Everly did not reject the


    special driver her brother hired for her.


    She didn''t want her son to feel too insecure amongst his peers.


    On the way, Everly helped Maverick sort out all his work for today. She memorized it in her heart for a


    moment and said to Edmond, "Uncle Jack said that he wille over next month."


    Edmond obviously didn''t like that American at all.


    He already didn''t like Jack in the past, but now with a more handsome man around his mother, he even


    hated the other man around his mother even more.


    "Okay, I don''t have time to y with him."


    Everly couldn''t help but chuckle, "You still don''t like Jack? Is it because you lost to him in the ball game


    before? Hey, he''s here to send you something. No matter what, don''t pull a long face."


    "Mommy, I don''t think you should get too close to that foreigner. You should get to know the handsome


    uncle I''m talking about."


    He started again.


    Everly rolled her eyes and made a stop gesture, "Alright, the topic of men ends here. We almost arrive


    at your school. How was it yesterday?"


    "I''m your son," Edmond said with a proud tone. "Nothing is difficult for me."


    Everly, "..."


    Boy!


    With a text message on her phone, Everly didn''t say anything else. She checked on her phone and


    found that it was from Gloria. It was a sweet text along with a photo--


    "Everly, do you remember the blind date I told you aboutst time? It is on this Saturday at the address


    below. I helped you get histest photos. They are all very real. What do you think about him? Dress


    up. Edmond was with us just now, so I can''t bring it up. I''m just telling you now and will remind you


    again on Saturday."


    Everly, "..."


    Since they had already arrived at kindergarten, Everly did not have time to reply to the text message.


    With a dark face, she put away her phone, got out of the car with her son, and walked towards the


    school gate.


    The curriculum in kindergartens was not as tight-scheduled as in primary schools, so kindergarten kids


    wouldn''t have to arrive as early as primary school students.


    Everly watched Edmond enter the kindergarten at the school gate and turned around.


    Her head still hurt. She looked around and found there was a caf¨¦ not far away. Although it was still


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    early, the caf¨¦ was already open so Everly began to walk towards the caf¨¦.


    *


    Before Candy got off the car, she sat on Maverick''sp, hugged her father''s face, and kissed him.


    "Dad, I''m getting off the car. Remember to take me to dinner tonight."


    Maverick had time today, so he personally sent his daughter to school.


    He reached out and rubbed his daughter''s ck hair with extremely soft eyes, "Okay, be a good girl


    today, remember to tell me about your day."


    "Yes, I am a good girl." Then she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Dad, the boy we met


    yesterday is also in our ss now and we have be good friends."


    Maverick realized that the boy she was referring to should be Edmond.


    Thinking of that child, Maverick didn''t know what to say.


    Someone cautious as him should have thought the one behind the boy had some other purposes,


    right? Because the boy had met with him and his daughter so many times and the boy even be


    ssmates with his daughter.


    But when he thought of that pair of eyes and the way Edmond tugged at his trouser legs and called him


    uncle, he didn''t want to think like that at all.


    "You like him?"


    "He is as handsome as Dad." Candy told the truth.


    Maverick smiled and didn''t say anything else. He asked the driver to bring Candy out of the car.


    He watched his daughter enter the school and closed the car window a little. Just as he took out a


    cigarette and prepared to light it, he saw someone familiar when he was looking around.


    He didn''t continue to light his cigarette and narrowed his eyes.


    In the next second, another person that was familiar to Maverick suddenly appeared beside that


    slender one.


    Finally, he frowned.

 Chapter 29 First Love? Maverick Is Jealous

    Chapter 29 First Love? Maverick Is Jealous


    Everly held the coffee and was just about to leave when she heard someone calling from behind,


    "Everly?"


    ...


    She told herself that she should forget that person and that voice because they didn''t matter anymore


    in her life. However, she could still recognize it the moment that voice appeared.


    "Everly, you should know that. What I did was normal in this society, but you still avoid intimacy."


    "You should know that. Haven''t Ipromised enough?"


    "I''m sorry I cheated, but I still love you. Will you forgive me?"


    "Everly, what between Sarah and I was a one-night stand. I didn''t take it seriously...."


    Everly felt a little frustrated when these words shed up in her mind.


    Actually, she had thought it before that she would meet him after returning to City C. After all, this city


    was not that big.


    She just didn''t expect it to be this fast, and she was not on top form.


    She squeezed the coffee cup in her hand. The hangover made her dizzy, and she didn''t look well.


    The footsteps behind quickened, approaching her.


    "Everly, is this really you?"


    "I saw you from a distance, and I thought I was wrong. I didn''t expect that you were really here." It


    seemed that this man ran his way to meet her because he was gasping.


    That person finally stood in front of her.


    Lucas Bevell.


    He wore a stiff suit with a briefcase in his hand. He was well-dressed, not much different from what he


    used to be. The spectacles resting on his nose made him look more refined.


    Back in high school, he was the school hunk. Many girls liked him because he was handsome, sexy,


    and gentle.


    Back then, Everly was the one who courted him.


    Later they really got together. At that time, Everly was quite dedicated to that rtionship. She would


    do whatever he wanted, except for physical touch.


    Everly''s parents were both educated, and she had an elder brother who always paid much attention to


    his sister. She had a strict upbringing. When she was a student, he had been taught that girls should


    have self-respect.


    In high school, dating was the most daring thing she did. How could she do something else?


    "Everly, you ... you don''t remember me, do you?" He said this when he saw Everly looking at him


    confusingly. There was no other emotion in her clear eyes.


    He beamed with joy when he saw Everly, but now that joyful expression was disappearing little by little.


    " ... I''m Lucas."


    "I know." Everly smiled and said casually, "You think I have forgotten about you? How could I? It''s been


    a while."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Everly managed to rein in her emotions, but there weren''t really anything to be reined in.


    Was she still ming Lucas?


    No.


    At that time, she was the stupid one who had a one-night stand with a stranger because of this man.


    After that, she was pregnant, went abroad, and gave birth to Edmond. Her memory about her first love


    had gone with the wind.


    In a rtionship, everyone has a different purpose.


    What mattered for her was just that feeling.


    To him, it might be something else.


    The area around the school gate was well-forested. As the sun shone through, the specks of sunshine


    fell on her face gently, reflecting her milky-white skin.


    Everly wore a white sweater and had shoulder-length, xen, smooth hair.


    In a split second, Lucas was dazed. He felt like he returned to his schooldays.


    She left silently. After all these years, she came back and stood in front of him. She was still so pure


    and cute.


    Lucas''s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "It has been a long time. Are you doing well?"


    Everly nodded, "I''m good."


    "Where have you been these years?"


    "Oh, I''ve always been in the United States."


    "You are back now?"


    Everly nodded. Obviously, she didn''t care much about this ex-boyfriend. She looked at the time and


    quickly said, "I''m busy. Sorry I have to leave."


    Lucas''s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously reached out to grab Everly.


    Everly noticed his movements. Feeling flustered, she dodged out of the way.


    All of a sudden, there appeared a hint of awkwardness in the air.


    To get out of this awkward situation, Lucas said hurriedly, "Well ... I''m afraid you''ll leave..."


    It was an unnecessary move. Lucas acted as if he had lost his soul when he saw Everly.


    Wasn''t he the one who had cheated on her?


    Everly didn''t say anything. She just looked at the time again.


    Lucas noticed that she got stuff to do, so he said immediately, "Since you''re back, can you leave a


    phone number? I heard from our monitor that there''s going to be a homing. Everyone talked


    about you. We can go there together."


    Everly''s mouth twitched slightly. She felt that Lucas was a man who lived in his own world.


    Didn''t he know there was no way for her to attend the homing?


    Back then, he cheated on her with her ssmate. Now, he was inviting her for the homing. Was


    he trying to embarrass her?


    Although she didn''t care about the past, it didn''t mean that she still had to face those shitty things.


    "Forget it. I haven''t seen them for many years. There''s no need to get in touch."


    She nced at the car parked not far away. When she got off the car, she had told the driver to drop


    her off. She didn''t want to waste her time on him. Since she worked in Lamont Group, she would be


    scolded by Maverick, if she waste for work.


    She didn''t wait for Lucas to speak again, "I have to leave, or I''ll bete for work."


    All his words stuck in his throat. Seeing that graceful figure haunted him for five years, he realized that


    he had never been able to forget her.


    Seeing her get into a ck MPV, he suddenly realized something.


    By the way...


    When they were together, he knew that she had an elder brother, but at that time, Hendrix Farley was


    nothing.


    Now, Hendrix was a man of the same status as his uncle Maverick Lamont.


    *


    Not far from the school gate.


    Under the shade of green trees parked a ck Bentley, whose engine was on. The driver waited there,


    holding the steering wheel with both hands.


    Looking through the windshield, he could see the graceful figure of Everly.


    The driver was the one who drovest night, so he remembered very clearly, wasn''t that ... Miss


    Everly?


    Was that Mr. Lucas standing opposite Miss Everly?


    Mr. Lucas is a rtive of the Lamont family and the department manager of Lamont Group.


    They knew each other?


    Maverick clenched his phone stared in the same direction as the driver did.


    They knew each other?


    Probably, it was for the first time for Maverick and an ordinary driver to think about the same question


    simultaneously.


    The way they acted was evidence of their unusual rtionship.


    How many unexpected connections did this woman have?


    He felt suffocation in his chest, but he didn''t know what this damn feeling was about.

 Chapter 30 It Is the Shittiest Luck You Could Ever Get!

    Chapter 30 It Is the Shittiest Luck You Could Ever Get!


    At the Kahl''s Mansion.


    In City C, if the Lamont family was the giant standing on top of the pyramid, then there was no doubt


    that the Kahl''s was the one standing right next to it.


    Though, by the time Maverick took over the family business, the two important names of Lamont and


    Kahl had stopped appearing next to each other for quite some time.


    But it was not the case back in the days when Jenson and Will were almost brothers,


    Who had known each other from day one and stayed friends for many years toe. They did not


    choose each other to be friends. They just happened to be born into important families and living in the


    same world.


    Years after, when the two boys became fathers, it wouldn''t be a surprise that they might want to share


    a grandson.


    However, when the time came, Maverick, Will''s only son, was having second thoughts since it wasn''t


    exactly his promise to keep from the very start. Jenson, without an heir to take his ce and take over


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    the family business, was getting desperate and almost despicable, trying to pull some strings and make


    this marriage work.


    Well, for Maverick, an unbinding verbal agreement between parents meant nothing to him.


    And before long, the rest of the world seemed to have gotten the idea and they were not going to sit


    tight and wait for the opportunities to cooperate with the Lamont''s. Since then, the Kahl family was out


    of picture.


    However, Jenson, in his prime, was not to be crossed with. He was known for his ruthlessness and


    self-importance in the business world, which nevertheless made himself quite some enemies. It was


    just that back then not a lot of people had a say in this.


    But now, everything was different. Every mansion would finally crumble, just like the kings who would


    By now, Jenson was not the man with an iron fist that he used to be anymore. His counterparts in the


    business world would only sit with him on the same table because of the connection he had with the


    Lamont family.


    But now when Maverick came back from abroad and made his point clear by shutting Jenson out, no


    mercy was spared for the Kahl family in this cruel world.


    Jenson pped the newspaper away on the floor, then kicked over the tea table right in front of him


    furiously,


    When Miley, his daughter, was justing down from the stairs. "What was that about? Didn''t you just


    get up from bed?" Miley walked towards his father with a trot.


    Finding out that Maverick had once again stolen his business deal when he was about to close it,


    Jenson was furious and outraged.


    Then when heid eyes on his daughter, he had found the perfect one to me, "Where the hell is


    your sister?"


    Miley immediately figured what it is about, "Well, she''s over at Maverick''s, helping him with his baby


    girl. I thought you knew."


    Filled with anger, Jenson took on a sinister and vicious look, "Damn it. Helping him with his baby girl?


    Your sister is nothing but a joke to Maverick. I expected nothing else from the two of you but one thing


    ¡ªmake him yours. And you know what? You two have done a great job doing the exact opposite.


    Because there''s new girl now, his secretary! It used to be Jayden around him."


    Miley was actually cool with his father undermining his sister like this. She kind of agreed.


    But when she found out that there was a new secretary, a woman,


    Something popped into her mind, "The new secretary. Is she called Everly?"


    At this moment, Jenson''s chest was still heaving violently, and when he heard the name, he didn''t react


    to it.


    Miley sat on the sofa and said, "I know her name. She was a Farley and the younger sister of Hendrix,


    the head of SY Corp. Dad, they are the one that did this to us. I told you that we need to watch out for


    Hendrix. But you refused to listen to me. Now see? He''s sending his sister to seduce Maverick."


    Jenson kind of saw the point.


    Hendrix had a sister? He really didn''t know that.


    Now she was the secretary standing right next to Maverick?


    But the Kahl family and the Farley family never had much to do with each other. They had nothing


    against us. Besides, Maverick couldn''t just shut us outpletely. It was moreplicated than that.


    "Where did you get this news?" Jenson asked.


    Miley fiddled with her sapphire-blue nails and said, "Sister, you knew it too. Go ahead. You can ask her.


    That Farley girl was the one who got between sis and Maverick. And I have just the perfect way to get


    back on her."


    Actually, Miley had long wanted to make a move on Everly, but too bad she really had nothing on her.


    Whatever happened to Everly back in the States, Hendrix must have made sure that no one was ever


    going to find out about it.


    But Miley had her name. It could be a start.


    Miley Kahl recalled seeing Hendrix in some fancy parties. There was no doubt that he was way too


    young, but in no way he could make an easy target.


    She didn''t want to mess with the wrong man. So she was still having second thoughts.


    But now her father was on board with her. She was not going to chicken out so easily any more.


    *


    Everly knew it was not going to be the best day of her life, since she bumped into Lucas.


    Then it turned out that the unfortunate encounter with Lucas was not the worst part just yet. When


    Everly got into the elevator, the tail of her dress got caught between the elevator doors,


    Which was about five minutes ago.


    She hurried into thepany, still holding a cup of hot coffee in her hand. Since she was going to be


    Though it was quite crowed already,


    She managed to get in. The people standing next to her didn''t really like it.


    But that was just how it was done. If you wanted to keep your job.


    Then the worst part finally came. When she tried to turn around and face the entrance, she realized


    that her dress got caught in between the elevator doors.


    But it was toote, the tail of her dress was ripped apart with an almost funny sound.


    And as her hand trembled, the coffee she was holding over her chest got spilled on her corbone and


    Everly''s thoughts went nk for a minute.


    And immediately she was swallowed by awkwardness


    And the ufortable silence.


    This elevator was crowded with at least a dozen people.


    Everyone looked at each other for a minute and then they allid their eyes on Everly''s funny face,


    Which almost instantly turn red.


    Then she felt a chill creeping on her thighs and something burning on the skin of her chest, so she


    looked down and saw the coffee stain, which was only getting more noticeable.


    I mean, it couldn''t get any worse.


    What was even more upsetting was the fact that nobody around her offered any help. All she had got


    was their unfriendly stares and looks.


    Right now, Everly would give anything even if it was only a coat to cover herself with.


    But for others, she was the lucky one. Selected to be Mr. Lamont''s secretary and being the one who


    "bump Jayden from the game", she was the one every girl in thispany loved and hated.


    So it was kind of figured that the new ce wasn''t exactly treating her well. Women saw her as a


    threat, and men undermined her as less-than, someone who climbed her way up with unspeakable


    strategies.


    The door opened, and the crowd swarmed out.


    Then suddenly Everly noticed that some girls were tittering.


    She was outraged and couldn''t believe how they could be so mean.


    ''I always thought we women were supposed to help one another and back each other up, isn''t it?''


    When everyone left the elevator, Everly was still awkwardly trying to salvage this mess. With a hand


    holding down the tail of her dress, she childishly made up her mind in her head, ''I will never wear a


    dress again!''


    The elevator suddenly went down.


    Everly forgot about the whole job thing and decided to go home and change first. And as for how to


    make it back home, ''my purse might do the trick,'' she thought.


    But when the elevatornded on the ground floor and the door slowly opened, she was still struggling


    to make herself seem a little less "naked". The minute she heard the door opening and looked up, she


    saw the man standing there with his cold dark eyes that were too familiar to her.


    Everly was caught off guard and then screaming to herself, ''''I mean, just when you think it''s the shittiest


    luck you could ever get."

 Chapter 31 Possessive

    Chapter 31 Possessive


    Maverick arrived at thepany.


    Five minutes ago, he got a phone call. He held the phone with one hand and put the other one in his


    trousers pocket. He listened to someone talk on the phone for a long time in a nonchnt manner.


    And his replies were short and perfunctory.


    When the elevator door opened, he was surprised by what he saw.


    The woman in there was a total wreck.


    Despair red up to her eyes when she saw him.


    She was both abashed and helpless.


    She bit her lips and looked away to avoid his gaze.


    Maverick felt something was unleashed within him when he gazed upon her shy eyes.


    He acknowledged and said something in Italian over the phone. Everly did not understand it. Then, he


    walked into the elevator.


    She froze for a moment and then said, "Mr. Maverick, can I take half a day off today? I''ve torn my skirt."


    Maverick just darted her a nce without saying anything.


    For some reason, he felt ten pounds lighter.


    Everly watched as he pressed the button to close the elevator and couldn''t utter a sound.


    What do you mean?


    She was aplete mess. Couldn''t he just leave her alone to her rueful heart?


    What kind of boss was he?


    "Turn off the elevator surveince," he said.


    Everly drooped her head and pulled the split hem holding a coffee cup. Then, she saw the scarlet light


    in the elevator go out seconds after he finished speaking.


    She pursed her lips in shame and embarrassment.


    In fact, she knew Maverick did that as a favor.


    The elevator was packed, but no one had been willing to help her. What was she thinking? Why would


    they help her when they didn''t even know her?


    But she would help someone in distress.


    And now?


    She was surprised that annoying Maverick had actually lent her a hand.


    Nheless, what she really wanted was to take half a day off and go home to change.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    How could she go to work like this?


    While she wasining about him mentally, Maverick stepped forward and looked at her with a


    faint smile. "Secretary Everly, haven''t you noticed there is a weird vibe going on between us?"


    His eyes lingered on her exposed long legs for some time before they left.


    His tone was flirtatious, and his gaze was tinged with contempt.


    It popped into Everly''s mind that....


    When they first met in a hotel, he had just taken a bath.


    Then, when they were alone in the bathroom of the dining room, her bra straps slid off.


    Now....


    She knew what he meant. He might be thinking she was exposing herself to seduce him.


    She felt wronged. "I''m the victim. The elevator doors clenched my skirt and wouldn''t let go. It was so


    crowded, and I got pushed around. That was how it was torn. Do you think I want my skirt to be like


    this?"


    Maverick narrowed his eyes.


    It had been crowded?


    Didn''t she know the way she was covering her legs turned him on?


    And to imagine how she had been pushed around in a crowd like this!


    Maverick fell silent. Everly didn''t realize she was not shy to speak her mind to him.


    Perhaps Maverick was also yet to notice she was not intimidated by him. Actually, she had been acting


    like he was fond of her.


    But was he?


    They were both unaware of what was really going on.


    Everly felt a little ufortable being stared at by him. Moreover, the elevator was cramped, and he


    had a strong vibe. It felt like the air had been getting thinner.


    She cleared her throat and looked away, pleading, "Well..., can I be a littlete for work? I have to go


    home and change my clothes."


    If half a day wouldn''t do, she could be quick.


    "How far is your home from Lamont Group?"


    "Well, it would take 40 minutes to go there ande back. If there''s a traffic jam, it will take longer."


    "Then what makes you think as my secretary you can ask for leave in the morning? Can''t you think of a


    way to solve this?"


    Everly''s face turned cold. "Mr. Maverick, I wasn''t anybody''s secretary. It is my first time doing this."


    "I pay you to do your job. I believe your sry is more than good. You don''t get to pick what you do.


    This is not your brother''spany."


    Everly''s face turned red when she sensed the contempt in his tone.


    He was unbelievable!


    "Mr. Maverick, don''t you see I can''t go to work with my legs exposed like this? Can you please listen to


    reason?"


    "What did you say?" He found her words somewhat funny. Did she mean he was unreasonable?


    He froze and then approached her. Everly retreated, but her back soon touched the elevator wall.


    She panicked and discovered she was breathing his hormone in.


    She was distracted.


    She flustered and moved her hands from her legs. Maverick could see her thighs now.


    Those babies used to be wrapped around his waist.


    Maverick swallowed. He always thought he was a man of reason.


    And sex was just sex.


    But now, he couldn''t get that passionate night with this fox off his mind when she was right in front of


    him.


    What was worse, the shbacks he thought he had forgotten were flooding back.


    How she had moaned to his rhythm.


    However, she was staring at him with her big doe eyes, as if she didn''t remember that night.


    Not only that, but she might still be seeing Lucas.


    And perhaps the man in her phone.


    She was no Virgin Mary. But why was she acting like she didn''t have any interest in Maverick?


    He almost believed she was a good girl.


    He thought she only had a fling with him, because her clear eyes told him she was not an easy girl.


    It turned out he was wrong.


    The idea that he was her only man ignited a zing fire within him, but he didn''t understand it yet.


    It was like a puzzle. A childish one, though.


    But he couldn''t control it.


    Once he had eyes on something, he was determined to get it. He was possessive. Therefore, apart


    from his daughter, he had no one. He had lost interest in other women when he met Everly.


    But now, it felt a little different.

 Chapter 32 Have You Forgotten How You Straddled Me Last Night?

    Chapter 32 Have You Forgotten How You Straddled Me Last Night?


    He had been staring at her ... legs?


    Everly followed Maverick''s eyes to her thighs. The skirt was in a bad shape. It was not short or


    transparent. So, she was only wearing panties under it. Now, she felt so embarrassed.


    Maverick was a pervert?


    Everly was mad and quickly covered her legs.


    "Stop looking. You creep! Turn around!"


    "Did you just give me an order?" Maverick asked.


    "Yes, I did. This is my body. Who gives you the permission to look at my legs? Turn around!"


    The silky skirt only made her more delicious when being pulled. Maverick''s temples twitched. He lost


    control and grabbed her wrist, raising it high above her head.


    Then he caught a glimpse of her red underwear.


    Everly''s purse fell to the ground.


    She gaped at him in disbelief. "W-what are you doing?"


    "Secretary Everly, have you forgotten how you straddled mest night?" he threw a question instead


    with a wicked smile.


    She was astonished!


    What had he just said?


    Last night?


    What had happenedst night?


    She had been drunk then.


    But hadn''t she woken up in her own bed? Moreover, her brother had driven her home. Had something


    happened between her and Maverick before she reached home?


    Everly was a bit annoyed, because she knew very well that no matter what had happened, she couldn''t


    remember.


    She would ck out when she got drunk and forget things.


    No matter how hard she tried, she couldn''t recall a damn.


    Now Maverick had got her. She didn''t know how to argue back.


    "Well, I drank those for you, Mr. Maverick." Everly was running out of ways, so she imed credit. "You


    brought me to that party for the first time. I did you a favor and got drunk. If we did something, it must


    have been a mistake, right?"


    She actually said it had been a favor.


    She looked meek but sounded vindictive.


    Maverick sneered, "Did I ask you to do it?"


    Everly was at a loss for words.


    "Before I took you there, had I asked you how much you could drank? Or had I instructed you to drink


    for me at the table?"


    Everly''s eyes widened. "What do you mean...?"


    "You''re so smart. You can figure out on your own."


    Everly felt she must have been an idiot to do that for himst night. She was suffering from a hangover


    and a splitting headache. This morning, she had to drink coffee to sober up despite the difort in


    her stomach. So, all that was for nothing?


    "Then why didn''t you stop me?" Her face grew gloomy.


    "My dear secretary, you wanted to show your professionalism and loyalty so bad. How could I rob you


    of the chance?"


    Apparently, he was mocking her.


    Everly was furious but pursed her lips in silence.


    It was getting weird. They shouldn''t be here alone. But maybe because the elevator was shut down


    remotely, no one else showed up in the rush hour.


    She felt the air getting thinner when he had been so close to her for so long. Besides, holding half a


    coffee and the skirt hem was exhausting.


    "Would you please let me go home to change?"


    Everly pretended to be polite.


    However, he just stared at her.


    She was annoyed and wanted to say something, but he suddenly approached her and whispered in her


    ear, his hot breath tickling it, "Don''t you want to know what happenedst night?"


    She didn''t reply.


    "I drove you back." His voice got deeper with a sprinkle of lust.


    The corners of Everly''s mouth twitched, and she replied somewhat awkwardly, "I, I thought my


    brother...."


    "I had you driven to your neighborhood." He reached out and pinched her chin, his slightly rough


    fingers stroking it.


    She trembled all over.


    It was highly inappropriate.


    Moreover, she could feel he wanted her from his aura and fingers.


    Everly was flustered and wanted to push him away, but her hands weren''t free.


    He didn''t let her go. He was obsessive about two things...


    The man in her phone.


    And her past with Lucas.


    What else didn''t he know about her?


    He was dying to find out.


    "There''s no need to cover your legs. I''ve seen them before."


    Everly was silent.


    She couldn''t think straight. But did he meanst night?


    But she hadn''t been in a dress yesterday...


    "Mr. Maverick, don''t ... act like this. We are at work, and I work for you. I am not your girlfriend. Hurry


    up and let go of me now. You...."


    "Now you remember you work for me? You really forget what you did to me when I wasn''t your boss?"


    Her mind was a mess.


    She had no idea what she had donest night.


    Her voice trembled, and she felt guilty because she wasn''t sure what had really happened. Besides,


    she knew he wouldn''t lie about her taking advantage of him when she had been drunk.


    So, she exined, "Mr. Maverick, listen to me. I would ck out and forget things when I drink too


    much. Therefore, I can''t recall yesterday, really."


    "cking out?" He squinted with doubts.


    She nodded.


    But he missed it, because he had been eying her ruby lips.


    As if crazy, he remembered that night again. And the kiss from yesterday....


    It had never been enough.


    He held his breath for a moment and said, "I''ll help you remember." As soon as he finished speaking,


    he lowered his head to kiss her like a mad man.


    He wanted to know if it would taste sweet.


    In the blink of an eye, she felt his kissing.


    Her heart lurched, and she quickly turned her face away.


    His thin lips only brushed past her lip corner.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    The air seemed to freeze.


    It felt erotic.


    Her lips trembled, and her legs went limp.

 Chapter 33 What Did He Whip Her with?

    Chapter 33 What Did He Whip Her with?


    Maverick!


    Was Maverick out of his mind?


    Flirting didn''tst for long because Everly was about to lose her temper!


    Everly flushed and burst with anger and shame. It didn''t seem she was faking it.


    Maverick''s lust prevailed in what he did just now, but he sounded Everly out more or less.


    Everly seemed to be avoiding Maverick, who was somewhat irritated.


    Maverick had no intention of investigating whether there were men around Everly.


    Maverick just wanted to confirm if Everly really forgot it.


    In fact, Maverick wouldn''t believe that Everly really forgot.


    There were too many women throwing themselves on Maverick. So Maverick had every reason to think


    that Everly was to get his attention by other means.


    "Maverick, I''m just your employee. You ... you''re going too far!" However, Everly was being pressed


    against the wall and her eyes were red as if she was humiliated.


    Maverick frowned, seeing that Everly was about to cry, and became more irritated, "I didn''t even kiss


    you, but why did you react like that?"


    Everly was really furious.


    And her chest was heaving.


    Maverick pressed close to Everly.


    Maverick was enchanted by Everly.


    Everly wasn''t ignorant. She instantly came to her senses and then was even more at a loss for what to


    do. Everly couldn''t push Maverick away after trying and was exasperated. Everly''s hand, which wasn''t


    grabbed, moved slightly. Suddenly, something came into Everly''s head. Everly raised her hand and


    wanted to p Maverick in the face.


    Maverick frowned as he expected that Everly seemed to hit him.


    Maverick retreated a little.


    Everly didn''t hit Maverick''s face, but her fingernails still mercilessly scratched Maverick''s chin.


    There was a scratch on the Maverick''s jaw.


    The scratch became dark and red.


    Seeing the reddish mark, Everly sneered and calmed down a bit. When Everly spoke, her voice was


    still trembling, but in fact, she was somewhat guilty.


    Everly didn''t forget that Hendrix had told her that Maverick was very difficult to deal with and ruthless.


    Everly hadn''t been working for Maverick for long, so she didn''t know much about him. However, the


    Everly was really angry just now, so she raised her hand and hit Maverick.


    Everly was a little scared when she saw that there was blood on Maverick''s chin.


    So Everly swallowed and decided to speak first--


    "Why did you harass me? I don''t know what you''re thinking, but please behave yourself! I''m not


    interested in you. As for the ... p just now, I just taught you a lesson!"


    Everly''s p was nothing at all to Maverick.


    However, Maverick had never been hit in the face.


    Everly was really bold. It would be impossible for others to be so indulgent and arrogant in front of


    Maverick.


    Maverick reached out and pressed on the elevator button. In just several seconds, the doors opened.


    Without saying a word, Maverick directly took the cup of cold coffee in Everly''s hand and threw it in the


    trash can at the entrance of the elevator. Afterwards, he grabbed Everly''s wrist and walked out.


    Seeing that Maverick was sulky, Everly had butterflies in her stomach.


    After all, it was Maverick''s ce.


    Everly thought to herself whether Maverick would go crazy and beat her or not.


    Everly would never let herself suffer. She had strong self-esteem. But when Everly was abroad, she


    had been bullied and no one helped herself out. Since then, Everly knew that she couldn''t let herself be


    bullied.


    Everly was dragged by Maverick and was even more anxious. She wanted to struggle, "Mr. Maverick,


    what are you doing? I''m not going. Let go of me. Do you want to hit me? I just ... I didn''t hit your face


    just now. Let go of me! Don''t even think about closing the door and beating me."


    Maverick''s legs were long. Almost as soon as Everly finished speaking, Maverick pushed open the


    door of the office, pulled Everly in, and pressed her against the door.


    Maverick approached Everly so closely that she had nowhere to hide, and thenughed, "Beat you?


    What do you want me to beat you with?"


    Everly was awkward.


    Her face turned red again.


    Maverick was too evil.


    Everly looked down and didn''t dare to look into Maverick''s eyes.


    "Anyway, I didn''t do anything wrong. Are you not going to work? You''ve wasted a lot of time. You ...


    You''re doing personal business during work hours."


    "You''re right." Maverick didn''t seem to be angry at all.


    Everly looked up cautiously and just heard Maverick say, "So, we have to take care of business soon."


    "Take care of what?" Everly frowned.


    "What do you think?"


    Everly was puzzled.


    Maverick didn''t speak anymore. Everly saw that he took out his phone, seemed to send a text


    message, and then threw it aside.


    Maverick was still sulky when standing in front of Everly, staring at her without blinking with a


    condescending attitude.


    Everly was really angry and anxious while a little afraid of Maverick''s gaze.


    Maverick didn''t say a word and just stared at Everly like that.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Maverick looked temperamental. He was staring straight at Everly, who felt oppressed. Everly''s mind


    was in turmoil while she felt restless somehow. However, Maverick seemed to be able to see through


    Everly''s everything deep inside.


    That feeling frightened Everly.


    Maverick had little to do with Everly, but Everly always felt that his gaze was so sharp that he could see


    through herself.


    Everly was rattled and put her hand over Maverick''s sharp eyes.


    Seeing Everly raise her hand, Maverick thought that she was going to hit him again. Maverick frowned


    and directly held her wrist.


    Because of Maverick''s strength, Everly''s hand was smashed on the door.


    Everly felt so painful that her eyes brimmed with tears.


    "Maverick, don''t go too far. I owe you nothing." Everly made a choking noise, "Leave me alone. I just


    want to do my job."


    "Didn''t you vent your anger on me?" Maverick''s voice was deep, and his eyes lingered on Everly''s


    hand. Maverick stroked her hand gently with his thumb before saying, "What''s the big deal? Do you


    have to show how resolute you''re to defend your chastity?"


    Everly was stunned.


    Everly bit her lip and said, "I don''t know what you mean. I''m scared. I''m only here to work for Lamont


    Group, not to entertain you! You can''t do this to me. If you continue like this, I''ll ... resign."


    Maverick sneered, "Didn''t you say that the one who resigns is a coward? Do you have egg on your


    face so soon?"


    Everly couldn''t beat Maverick up about that.


    "Alright. Did I bully you?" Maverick frowned and said, "You''ve taken it out on me. Someone will bring


    you the dresster. You can go inside and change it. You''ll have half an hour to prepare the meeting


    materials."


    Everly was silent.


    "Secretary Everly, don''t look so delicate. Otherwise, I really want to whip with something else."


    Maverick took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He didn''t light it, but looked at Everly, saying word


    by word with an evil look, "Do you want to give it a try?"

 Chapter 34 Lovingly

    Chapter 34 Lovingly


    Everly stood in the lounge outside Maverick''s office and gradually calmed down.


    Actually, it wasn''t too big. It should be a ce where Maverick usually took a nap when he felt too tired.


    Everly didn''t know if anyone else had ever been here. She felt that the smell of this ce was exactly


    the same as that of Maverick.


    It didn''t smell bad.


    But it made her feel a little ufortable.


    She held the bag of clothes that someone had just delivered and sighed slightly.


    It seemed as if she had escaped into this lounge.


    As for what happened in the elevator...


    Oh God! She was really going to be crazy!


    Why could they be like this? They should be boos and secretary!


    Moreover, thinking about Maverick, she felt that he was now a little different from the first time when


    she saw him.


    Why was that?


    Everly stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom. She didn''t have much time to think about these.


    Perhaps, to Maverick, he might think she was seducing him, for her dress had been torn and her


    shoulder straps also fell.


    He was really a dull dog.


    He might think that she was trying to seduce him and create all sorts of misunderstandings. So he got


    angry and kissed her as she wanted?


    Everly thought as she changed her dress.


    In the end, after she changed her dress, she got a conclusion.


    Maverick should have misunderstood. After all, he was a president of a bigpany. It was impossible


    for him to believe that her intentions toward him were honorable.


    Anyway, she had sworn that she wouldn''t resign no matter what happened. She had entered this


    "misunderstanding".


    Everly tidied up her clothes in front of the mirror.


    She discovered that the dress she wore was actually her size.


    She found thebel and saw that the dress was not cheap. It belonged to a luxury brand and was also


    thetest style. The price was at least more than 10 thousand.


    Everly felt quite pressured. It wasn''t that she couldn''t afford it, but that she had never bought such


    expensive clothes, because it was a waste of money.


    But today it was quite special.


    Everly thought for a moment, and decided to transfer the money to Maverick.


    Then she adjusted her mood and prepared to leave. Only then did she realize that there was a set of


    special bath products beside the basin.


    The words on them should be Italian. Everly didn''t understand Italian. The milky white box was


    something that could hardly be seen in normal life.


    She suddenly remembered that every time when she approached Maverick, there was indeed a special


    smell of sea salt.


    At that time, she wondered if it was the smell of the shower gel.


    Everly was a little curious. She opened the bottle and lowered her head to smell it. The smell was


    indeed the same as Maverick.


    However,pared to the smell on Maverick''s body, this was even more intense.


    Everly frowned.


    Actually, this was very normal. Maverick, as a president, was supposed to use bath products that were


    extremely expensive.


    However, she just felt that this smell was so special that she seemed to have smelt it before, which was


    buried deep in her memory.


    She took out her phone and took a few photos of the bottle.


    She decided to check it online after she went home.


    **


    Maverick was flipping through the documents. He wore white shirt and the sleeves were rolled up,


    revealing his wheat-colored skin. His arms showed that he was a man who went to the gymnasium


    very often to keep fit.


    Everly had already learned that.


    This man was so strong. If he wanted to control her, she was unable to resist at all.


    "Mr. Maverick, thank you for the dress. How much is it? I''ll transfer it to youter." Everly stepped


    forward and put the bag back where it was. After thinking for a while, she added, "If Mr. Maverick is


    convenient, can I have your WeChat? I will transfer the money to you through WeChat."


    Maverick was writing something when he heard this and he stopped.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Actually, he seldom used WeChat. He only contacted with a few friends through WeChat.


    She wanted his WeChat?


    He knew very well that WeChat had be a necessarymunication tool for people nowadays.


    Thinking of this, he took out his phone and put it on the table.


    Everly didn''t expect him to be so straightforward.


    It seemed that what she had just thought was correct. What kind of feelings could he have for her?


    He might just be joking. For such a dress worth more than ten thousand, he would definitely want her to


    repay the money.


    But, this was fine. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed every time when she wore this dress. To


    transfer the money to him would make her feel at ease.


    "There''s no password." Maverick said.


    Everly opened WeChat and didn''t even look at the new information on the address book. She quickly


    scanned the QR code and added him before locking the screen. Then she handed the phone to


    Maverick.


    "Mr. Maverick, please tell me how much the dress is. I''ll transfer the money to you. And if there''s


    nothing else, I''ll go to work first." She paused for a moment and then said, "I was shocked by what


    happened just now, which might make you misunderstand. Anyway, I sincerely want to work with you


    and I don''t have other intentions. Mr. Maverick, you can rest assured. Everything that happened before


    was totally a misunderstanding."


    Maverick did not look up.


    Everly stood there for a while and felt embarrassed.


    She didn''t care about how Maverick would react. She just did what she should do.


    Before Maverick could reply, Everly gathered up her dress and left the office.


    She didn''t know that the moment she turned around, the man, who had been lowering his head, slowly


    looked up.


    He saw the graceful figure of the woman in front of him.


    He didn''t personally choose the dress. He sent a text message to Jayden and asked him to buy a


    dress.


    However, the waistline was measured by himself.


    He didn''t expect that it fit her well.


    Maverick''s eyes were deep and his lips were pressed together. There was only him in the office. Apart


    from the possessiveness, there was also a trace of love and affection in his eyes.


    **


    Only when Everly walked out of the office did she heave a sigh of relief.


    She patted her face. Just as she kept her legs, there came a sound of the elevator not far away.


    There must be someone who came up to meet Maverick. She started work yesterday. At present, she


    already felt a lot of pressure when dealing with the schedule works. She had never done this before.


    Therefore, she wasn''t too familiar with the employees of thepany.


    She looked up and saw the man in a tight suiting out of the elevator.


    And their eyes met.


    They were both stunned.


    Everly''s mouth twitched. She felt that the world was too small.


    However, Lucas was totally shocked.


    "Everly?"

 Chapter 35 Do You and Everly Contact Each Other Except for Work?

    Chapter 35 Do You and Everly Contact Each Other Except for Work?


    How could she meet her ex-boyfriend when she worked in the Lamont Group?


    Seeing that he wore a suit and held a document in his hand, she felt it was a little scary.


    Could it be that her ex-boyfriend was an employee of the Lamont Group?


    After Lucas approached and Everly saw the employee badge hanging on his neck, she felt a little dizzy.


    In the end, she couldn''t help but sigh.


    How could there be so many coincidences in such a small City C?


    Everything just flooded into her mind at the same time.


    "Hi, what a coincidence!" Everly forced a smile, "Mr. Lucas."


    Lucas nced at his work badge and then looked at her. "You work in the Lamont Group? Did you just


    enter thepany?" He asked.


    "We haven''t hired any employeestely. Why did youe out from my cousin''s office?"


    What?


    Everly''s smile disappeared.


    All the expressions on her face instantly disappeared and she was petrified.


    After a while, she finally came back to her sense. "What? Your cousin?"


    She was very stiff and her voice was trembling, "Excuse me, who are you talking about?"


    At this moment, the door of the CEO Room behind was opened. Then there came a deep voice of the


    man, "Me."


    Before Everly could figure out what was happening, an ointment put on her hand.


    The pleasant voice sounded again. He said word by word, "Your hand got hurt. Apply the ointment on


    your hand."


    Lucas, "..."


    Everly, "..."


    Everly held the ointment and watch the two men in front of her enter the office. She couldn''t regain her


    sense for a long time.


    What the hell was it?


    Lucas was Maverick''s nephew?


    When she was in love with Lucas, she never knew that he actually had such a rich cousin.


    She thought about it for a while, and she still felt that it was so amazing.


    She took out her phone and quickly searched the Lamont Group online. Then several names of the


    executives came into her view.


    The search engine was updated quickly. Maverick, who had be the president recently, was


    already put at the top.


    However, there was a reminder beside that. The former CEO was Will Lamont.


    Everly thought that he should be Maverick''s father.


    And the Vice President was Shirley nton.


    This woman should be the current hostess of the Lamont family, but she didn''t seem to be Maverick''s


    mother.


    Maverick was more likely the illegitimate son of the Lamont Family.


    However, it was strange. If he was really an illegitimate child, how could he be in charge of the Lamont


    Group?


    The Lamont family was a truly wealthy family which hadsted over a hundred years. It was an


    important thing for them to choose an heir. During this period of time, the Lamont Group was full of


    chaos. As an outsider, she had heard a lot about this family. The Lamonts must live a harder life than


    she imagined.


    Everly then saw another person who had a deep rtionship with Maverick.


    Zane Lamont.


    This was the eldest young master of the Lamont family. He was Maverick''s older brother. To be more


    exact, he was Maverick''s half-brother.


    There should be a daughter in the Lamont family. But because she was reading thework of the


    rtionships of the Lamont Group, these people were all former executives. Maverick was really


    powerful. He actually took over thepany form Zane, who was the former general manager!


    She soon saw Lucas, the general manager of the nning Department.


    Unbelievable! Lucas was really a general manager! This would be awkward in the future. However, as


    long as she was not in the nning Department, she didn''t have to worry too much.


    Besides, it had been so many years since they broke up with each other, so she didn''t need to worry


    too much about it.


    However, despiteforting herself, Everly still felt uneasy, as if something was stuck in her throat.


    She reached out to massage her temples. Everything was not going well after she returned from


    abroad.


    **


    After Lucas finished his report, he didn''t leave.


    Maverick was flipping through the documents and he knew that Lucas was still there. Finally he looked


    up and nced at him. "Is there anything else?"


    He sounded a little impatient.


    Lucas thought of that when he was standing at the office entrance, his cousin had personally given the


    ointment to Everly.


    He was not blind. He could tell from his cousin''s expression at that time. His cousin was not impatient


    at all.


    How could his cousin do such a thing?


    But that was not the point.


    The point was when did his cousin know Everly? And it looked like they got along well with each other.


    He met Everly at the Lamont Group today. Did it mean that she would work at the Lamont Group in the


    future?


    Didn''t she just return home?


    Lucas was filled with questions. These questions made him quite stressed. He couldn''t help but ask,


    "Well, Maverick...."


    Maverick knocked on the table.


    "Mr. Maverick. Do you and Everly contact each other? I mean, except work? Do you meet each other


    privately" He immediately changed the way he called Maverick. The question he asked was quite


    private.


    "Is this very important?"


    Lucas pondered for a moment and didn''t dare to ask any further, "Sorry, I shouldn''t have mixed life and


    work.¡±


    Then, he nodded slightly and left the office.


    When Maverick saw that the door was closed, he was a little irritated.


    God! He almost asked Lucas, ¡°What''s the rtionship between you and Everly?¡±


    Finally, he bit his words.


    Actually, it was not difficult at all for him to know the answer. And there seemed to be a vague idea in


    his mind.


    Lucas and Everly were about the same age. Maverick had read Everly''s information before. They


    should be ssmates in high school. Probably the ex-boyfriend who cheated on Everly back then was


    Lucas.


    Although Lucas was his nephew, Maverick had always been indifferent to those who he didn''t care


    about. As for a nephew, he had never paid much attention to him.


    After all, he was a Bevel. Maverick had a good impression of Lawrence. Lucas''s ability was quite


    normal. It was for the sake of Lawrence that Maverick had not demoted Lucas.


    He hadn''t paid much attention to Lucas before. But now, he made Maverick ufortable.


    *


    Everly predicted that Lucas would definitely meet her.


    After the morning conference, Lucas stopped her at the elevator once again.


    "Everly, I wanna talk to you."


    Everly nodded and said, "Fine. Let''s talk after work."


    Lucas was reluctant to let her go. He said, "Right now, at the back stairs."


    Everly thought it would just take a few minutes, so she agreed.


    She followed Lucas to the back stairs. However, she forgot that there were so many people in such a


    bigpany. What she had done in the elevator this morning already made many colleagues know


    about her. Besides, she had just be CEO''s secretary.


    All the gossips in thepany right now were about Everly.


    Many employees saw Everly and Mr. Lucas enter the back stairs. Naturally, these people who were


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    very interested in gossips were attracted here.


    Immediately, they took out their phones and took a lot of pictures of Everly and Lucas.


    Soon, the online forum exploded because of thetest news.

 Chapter 36 Everly, You Are Quite a Powerful Woman

    Chapter 36 Everly, You Are Quite a Powerful Woman


    Of course, Everly still didn''t know about the gossip.


    She stood before Lucas and sighed. She didn''t want to waste any time, so she said bluntly, "It is a bit


    exactly, with Maverick."


    After a few seconds, she continued, "You know, I really didn''t know how your family was during our


    years together, so you don''t have to think otherwise."


    Lucas was stunned, "You call my cousin ''Maverick''?"


    "Does he have another name? It''s so strange. It''s just a name, so why can''t I call him that?


    Seeing Lucas was shocked, Everly wondered why he freaked out like this.


    Lucas gave a sarcastic smile, "Are you really stupid, or are you ying dumb? Actually, I think you


    were slow of wit when you were at school. At that time, I hinted at you many times, but you didn''t seem


    to understand, and you never knew what I implied."


    "Stop catching up." Everly smiled and said, "Forget it. It has been so many years, and that''s all over.


    I''m just exining it to you seriously. I don''t know anything. When Lamont Group purchased LAL, I was


    an employee of LAL, so I''m transferred here now."


    Lucas finally figured out what happened, "I see."


    "Yes, that''s all. We will meet often in the future. And we''re still friends. I should go to work now." Everly


    said in a rxed tone.


    "Do you know? Even in the Lamont family, very few people dare to call him by his name."


    Lucas said in a low voice, and what he said echoed at the empty back staircase. He felt resentful and


    thought it was somewhat incredulous, "As to LAL, I didn''t understand why Lamont Group wants to


    purchase such a heavily indebted branch. After all, it should belong to the Rice family."


    "You''re quite a powerful woman," Lucas said.


    Everly was not stupid, so she recognized what he implied.


    "What exactly are you trying to say? Work is work. I''ve already made it clear. I really didn''t know it


    before."


    "You''re not suitable for the Lamont family." To Everly''s surprise, Lucas wanted to arrange it for her to be


    transferred again. He continued, "My cousin is not someone who you can flirt with. Just to be on the


    safe side, you should resign."


    For some reason, Lucas''s eyes fell upon on Everly''s skirt.


    His eyes were as sharp as needles, and Everly almost got hurt. He continued, "Your brother is so rich


    and SY Corp is not bad. Why do you have to stay in Lamont Group? You said you don''t know anything,


    but I don''t believe it. Everly, Maverick won''t like you. He doesn''t even like the girls of the Kahl Family,


    and he won''t be responsible for you."


    Everly''s face became livid with anger.


    Lucas didn''t stop, "This dress must be expensive. You can afford to a dress of tens of thousands, but


    how could you work here as a secretary and be gossiped about?"


    "My brother is rich. That''s right. SY Corp is a listedpany now and it is not inferior to Lamont Group.


    You''re right, I could be the princess of SY Corp. After all, my brother has always doted on me." Everly


    sneered and said angrily, "But I''m different from those who like to rely on their rtives. I like to earn


    money on my own to support myself. Mr. Lucas, since you are free to lecture me, you might as well do


    your job well. Mr. Maverick is a ruthless person and I am his secretary from now on. Don''t get criticized


    at the meeting. It''s shameful."


    Lucas got stunned.


    Everly didn''t want to talk with him anymore. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked


    out of the stairway.


    Lucas stood there, and his chest couldn''t stop heaving.


    He wasn''t a magnanimous man. If he was good, it would be impossible for him to cheat on Everly. He


    did a lot of things because of lust, so he was just a snobbish and mercenary man.


    Did he still like Everly?


    The answer was yes. She was more beautiful now than she was in school.


    They had been together for five years, but he failed to sleep with her. And now, she was back and was


    working for his cousin, so the more Lucas thought about it, the angrier he felt, and he was unwilling to


    ept it.


    He punched the wall fiercely.


    His eyes glowed, and it seemed he was plotting something.


    ...


    In the following week, Everly was manic at the office.


    That she became Maverick''s chief assistant was a depth charge in Lamont Group. It was unknown how


    Lucas got her number, and he sent her an Inte link.


    Everly wanted to ignore it, but she clicked it by instinct and saw the forum of thepany.


    There was a post on it, and it was about a secretary of Lamont Group. She knew it was talking about


    her.


    However, she was too busy with her work, so she was not in the mood, and nor did she want to pay


    attention to it.


    Because she was Maverick''s secretary, she had to work between departments, and she more or less


    noticed that the others had prejudice against her.


    However, Everly wasn''t afraid of gossip. To be honest, she was more energetic now because she


    wanted to prove herself. She was just angry with Maverick before, but now, she wanted to improve


    Lucas was wrong.


    Everly didn''t say a word about the post, so Maverick didn''t know it either.


    Actually, Maverick was very busy with his work every day. He nearly spent four to five hours on


    meetings a day.


    He was indeed quite charming when he was silent and buried in work.


    However, Everly was also busy.


    At the very beginning, she couldn''t deal with her work. As a girl who had been outside all year round


    before, how could she suddenly be the secretary of the president? She couldn''t ept it.


    After sheined to Hendrix at home, Hendrix just said, "Then if you want toe to mypany,


    I''ll tell Maverick."


    Everly refused at once, "Some people start to gossip about me. I won''t back down, and I''m not a


    deserter."


    "I agree with you. In fact, in your previous job, you had to socialize. In order to get the project, you had


    to drink with many people. There are many rules in China that are different from those in foreign


    countries. Therefore, it''s not bad for you to be Maverick''s secretary. You can learn many business skills


    from him."


    Everly agreed on this.


    Sometimes, Maverick could keep the other party''s profits to a minimum on a project, but the other party


    was made to sign a contract willingly. This is because he was capable of business.


    Therefore, Maverick was not just unpredictable.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    He was also very sinister.


    However, ever since that day, he wasn''t out-of-bounds anymore, and for the normal work, he also


    behaved himself.


    Everly was quite satisfied with this.


    On Thursday afternoon, Everly finished her work and Maverick''s schedule. And then she decided to


    ask if he had any other instructions.


    Gloria had asked her to go for a blind date many times. However, she was too busy with her work, so


    she always postponed it.


    Therefore, Gloria was very unhappy now, so Everly had to go to eat with someone today no matter


    what.


    Everly dared not to irritate her mother. In addition, Hendrix chatted with her in private these days, and


    he mentioned that they should find Edmond''s biological father.


    Since Everly gave birth to Edmond in secret, it had been five years. Therefore, she thought it was


    immoral for her to disturb that man.


    Therefore, she didn''t want to find who that man was. And she thought if she could meet the right guy


    on the blind date, she wouldn''t have to worry about this.

 Chapter 37 She Smelled of Milk

    Chapter 37 She Smelled of Milk


    Maverick''s office was on the top floor of Lamont Group.


    And Everly''s office was right across from him.


    Actually, apart from other things, she was indeed promoted, and she got her own office. Although she


    was a little busy with work,pared to before, she was more capable of it now.


    She made a phone call to Brielle yesterday. Brielle also knew that she had been transferred to Lamont


    Group and became Maverick''s chief secretary. Brielle sincerely congratted Everly and said that she


    would return home next week at least. She got a job at LAL.


    Everly was quite happy. She nced at the calendar, and thought Jack was probablying soon.


    During this period of time, she usually asked the driver to go to Edmond''s kindergarten first in the


    morning, and then they went to thepany. Although she had to get up half an hour earlier, she was


    satisfied that she could take her son to kindergarten every day.


    However, Edmond talked to her about a little girl called Candy every day.


    Moreover, he often told her that he wanted to introduce Candy''s father to her.


    Thinking of this, Everly almost freaked out.


    Why did everyone want to introduce men to her?


    When Everly was struggling in mind, Maverick came out of the office.


    He wore a flesh-colored shirt and a pair of ck trousers today, and they were very stylish. He had an


    excellent figure, and hisplexion was also perfect. All formal clothes of any color looked good and


    unique on him.


    Everly quickly got serious, stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Maverick, do you have any instructions this


    afternoon?"


    Hearing this, Maverick stopped.


    Everly saw he was fiddling with the cor of his shirt. With the ck bow tie, he looked abstinent and


    ruthless.


    When he approached her, there was a faint smell of smoke on him. Everly''s heart was at a good rate


    and she retreated a little back by instinct.


    This man was always of great aggressiveness, so she needed to keep a certain distance from him.


    Maverick constantly fiddled with that bow tie with his slender fingers, and frowned, "What?" After a few


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    seconds, he continued in a casual tone, "I have something to do. You can leave after you''re done."


    It seemed he still didn''t finish the bow tie.


    Everly saw that he was tall standing in front of her, and that bow tie might be too tightly fastened for him


    to untie it.


    She had worked with him for a week and always saw he was cold. It seemed he could handle anything


    perfectly, and he was always confident of victory.


    Everly sometimes thought that he was omnipotent.


    But now, a bow tie actually got him there.


    His eyes were always infinite and sharp, but now, they were glittering with a bit of confusion.


    With this subtle difference, Maverick looked a little cute.


    Anyway, Everly felt that it was a little funny at this moment.


    She was rxed now, so she forgot to keep a distance. She couldn''t help taking a step forward and


    reaching out.


    "Well, I think it was hooked. Let me help you with it."


    Maverick paused. Because he was tall, when she approached him, he needed to look down at her.


    The difference was close to 20 centimeters. When she stood before him, it looked she was sticking to


    his chest.


    She was so petite and soft.


    In these past few days, he had always been cold and indifferent. This was because he was certain that


    shepletely forgot about that crazy night.


    He didn''t know how to describe this feeling.


    Maverick had never had this kind of feeling before, so he quickly controlled himself and stopped further


    pondering.


    He was busy with work, and he would apany Candy when he was free.


    He just saw she worked with him every day. She usually reported to him in a soft voice and followed


    him everywhere in high heels seriously.


    Sometimes, he agreed on what she had sworn to him and admitted that she was capable of working.


    Everly stood before Maverick, but because of the difference in height, it was very difficult for her to


    stand on tiptoe.


    She raised her hands, and moved up and down.


    She knew he was tall, but when she was close to him, she found he was at least six feet tall.


    No matter what, the bow tie couldn''t be hooked. In addition, she was in high heels. With this, her whole


    body tilted. She lost her bnce, and fell into Maverick''s arms.


    The smell on him made her in a daze.


    It should be the third time for her to smell this. Everly''s heart rate increased and she wanted to retreat.


    However, her waist was grabbed by a big palm.


    She could not move, and they were stuck to each other. Through their thin clothes, their breath got


    entangled and their heartbeats echoed around their ears.


    Everly''s face flushed. She was worried that Maverick would say she was a libertine girl and she wanted


    to seduce him. Therefore, she hurriedly put her hand on his chest and tried to push him away, saying,


    "Mr. Maverick, I''m sorry. You''re too tall."


    Her waist was thin and soft, and Maverick didn''t want to let go of her.


    Unlike other women who had strong perfume smell in the workce, she had a very special fragrance.


    Because Maverick''s sister had a business of cosmetic, he could almost deduce that the smell on her


    body should be from a certain brand of bath gel.


    However, this smell was also mixed with a sweet milk fragrance.


    ''Does this woman still drink milk?''


    "I have security cameras here." Maverick said in a deep and low voice, and what she said shocked


    Everly.


    Everly was stunned, "What?"


    "Didn''t you always fear being seen by others? It has been captured by the cameras, and from this


    angle, you seemed to intentionally fall into my arms. What should we do?"


    Maverick moved closer to her, and Everly could even feel his hot breath on her ear. To her surprise, he


    asked a strange question, "Everly, do you always do this?"


    ...


    It seemed it wasn''t the first time he called her by her full name.


    However, Everly knew very well that this was the first time she had this kind of feeling.


    Thunder and lightning rumbled in the whole world, which was the omen of storm. But in the end, all


    turned into strong heartbeats.


    Then, all the noise around her disappeared.


    He was the only one who spoke in such a low voice. It was clearly soft, but it almost broke her


    eardrums.


    Everly didn''t know what he meant. What did she always do?


    On this floor, there were only two door-to-door offices.


    One was the CEO Room, and the other was the Secretary Office. Therefore, when they stood here, no


    one woulde to disturb them.


    The smell on her body permeated around Maverick, and he wore a faraway look on his face.


    In fact, he knew that he should push her away.


    However, this feeling was so good that he couldn''t let go of her.

 Chapter 38 The Smell on Him Would Permeate the Whole World

    Chapter 38 The Smell on Him Would Permeate the Whole World


    This week, Maverick wanted to see whether Everly could do this job after taking it from Jayden.


    Moreover, he was indeed very busy and didn''t have time to think about anything else.


    Now, he seemed to realize this feeling resulted from the fact that he could see she worked around him


    every day.


    What was wrong with him?


    He seemed to have never had such kind of feeling before, but it was so obvious that he couldn''t ignore


    it at all.


    Could it be because of that night five years ago?


    "I''m just helping you untie the bow tie." Everly''s weak voice interrupted Maverick''s thoughts. She said,


    "Let go of me."


    Because of the height difference, Everly was right close to Maverick''s neck. As she spoke, he could


    feel her soft and warm breath on his Adam''s apple.


    Maverick felt her breath was like a kind of electric charge which surged through every particle of his


    body.


    His eyes turned iparably gloomy as he subconsciously held onto her slender waist more tightly.


    When Everly moved, he said right away, "Don''t move."


    Everly, "..."


    "Mr. Maverick..." As she said, she tried to push him away, "Don''t do this. You''re too close."


    Maverick''s eyes lit up as he raised his hands and put his arms through Everly''s armpits. Before Everly


    could figure out what was going on, she felt her body became light, and then she found she was picked


    up.


    She cried out in rm. In the next second, she felt that she was put on a cab.


    With legs in the air, she moved her ankles by instinct.


    Her knees were pushed apart at this moment. In a daze, Everly found Maverick pushed apart her legs


    and was standing before her.


    This posture was weird.


    They were just a boss and his secretary, but what they did now looked like what a couple would do.


    Thinking of this, Everly was startled.


    She had dated men before, but it was five years ago. Actually, those kinds of things were bygones. And


    they disappeared like the dust in the wind. Therefore, although she was 26 years old, she was still as


    innocent as a young girl who only dared to hold a man''s hand when dating.


    And now ... for what Maverick was doing, she was at a loss and her face almost went brick red.


    "Do it."


    Maverick looked calm, but a closer look would reveal that his eyes were dark and glowed with green


    light. He only said a phrase.


    Everly froze, "What do you mean?"


    "Aren''t you going to help me with my bow tie?" He asked.


    Only then did Everly get what he implied. Maverick continued, "I don''t like bending over. Can you get it


    now?"


    Everly, "..."


    Well, she knew Maverick was noble and didn''t want to bow down. But wasn''t this posture weird?


    It looked they were flirting with each other.


    Everly nced at the handsome face that was close to her, and found he had fine features. His dark


    eyes and their corners were catchy, but she didn''t dare to look him in the eye.


    His eyes were like the abyss, and there was something inside that was glowing with light. If one looked


    at it for another second, he would be drowned in it and would never be able toe out.


    She tried to move her fingers, and then looked up at the bow tie. She was so eager to untie it that she


    made a mistake when she was about to seed. Therefore, she failed again.


    She didn''t dare to pull it too fiercely. If it was broken ... it would be embarrassing.


    The more anxious she was, the tighter the bow tie was.


    Moreover, the smell of Maverick was overwhelming at her nose. Everly had tried her best to adjust her


    breath several times, but she couldn''t ignore it at all.


    Two minutes passed, Everly found it was even harder to ignore the smell.


    Her palms were covered in sweat.


    Maverick was still as cool as a cucumber. However, his eyes became darker and he kept staring at her.


    Therefore, Everly felt that there were two X-rays above her head.


    Her skin was as white as snow. Looking at her from this angle, Maverick could see her white and


    tender neck. Her cor was open, and he could see more in it.


    She wore pink bra, and she had great boobs. They looked white, pink, and especially tender.


    Maverick could feel his blood was drumming in his temples, so he forced himself to look away.


    "Mr. Maverick, it''s a little troublesome." She whispered, "Well, don''t move. It''ll be fine soon."


    "Did I move?"


    "..."


    "What are you nervous about?" He gave a half smile, but Everly did not dare to look up at him. He


    whispered at her ear in a deep and low voice, "Are you afraid of me?" He never said in such kind of


    tone at meetings. Instead, he was always scrupulous.


    "No."


    "Your hands are shaking. Are you sure this won''t make it worse?"


    "No, I''m not used to being so close to a man." This was the truth. Everly cleared her throat and pressed


    her index finger hard. Finally, the hooked side of the bow tie was untied sessfully. She heaved a


    sigh of relief, "It''s done."


    Maverick''s eyes were still fixed on her face. Although she was trying to restrain herself, her ears turned


    red.


    Somehow, seeing her red ears, he was in a very good mood.


    He reached out to fiddle with that bow tie. As expected, he took it off.


    With bow tie in hand, he didn''t walk away.


    Everly wanted to go down, but she didn''t dare to move. She propped her hands on both sides of her


    body. After a long while, she whispered, "Mr. Maverick, go away, please."


    "Where should I go?"


    "I''ming down."


    Maverick looked at her and suddenly reached out. Everly felt she was hugged. Then, he carried her


    down from the cab as if she were a child.


    "What are you shaking your legs for? Stand firm." His tone was meticulous.


    "I''m not shaking." Her voice was as weak as a mosquito''s, and she even wanted to retort.


    She was anxious inside. Somewhat, it waspletely different from the feeling she had when she was


    in the elevator. She could not tell what it was, but she felt hot and dry.


    He couldn''t breathe or speak, because when he moved...


    The smell on him would permeate the whole world.


    ...


    It was in the marketing department of Lamont Group.


    A woman who was about 35 years old rushed in excitedly with cell phone in hand.


    Because she was too excited, she walked into her colleague. She couldn''t afford to apologize. Instead,


    she grabbed that female colleague on the hand and showed her the phone, "Guess what I saw just


    now? Holy shit, that secretary to the CEO is really a skank. She actually seduced Mr. Maverick


    upstairs! I took all the pictures. Oh my god! Is this the hidden rule? How scary!"


    "What are you talking about? Be careful. If Mr. Maverick hears this, you''ll be fired!"


    "Come on. Mr. Maverick doesn''t care about the gossip. Everyone talks about that skank on the forum.


    Who cares? But we can''t underestimate her. Doesn''t Mr. Maverick have a fianc¨¦e?"


    "His fianc¨¦e hasn''t been his legal wife yet. Besides, for someone like Mr. Maverick, apart from his


    fianc¨¦e or future wife, he would have more women. To be honest, I''m also willing to be Mr. Maverick''s

    lover. He''s so handsome."


    "In your dreams!"


    "However, as a libertine skank, Everly must be very good at sex."


    ...


    The people of the marketing department gathered at once.


    Only in the corner, a woman in a white shirt nced at the crowd, then frowned in disgust, and didn''t


    join them.

 Chapter 39 Who Said I Was Playing with the Secretary? I Dont Play with Wo

    Chapter 39 Who Said I Was ying with the Secretary? I Don''t y with Wo


    Maverick got out of the car and saw a familiar car.


    The cars of the Lamonts were all luxurious cars with special license tes, so they could be


    recognized at a nce in such a parking lot.


    His eyebrows slightly moved. It had been almost a month since he had seen anyone from the Lamont


    family. They probably were on the anxious bench and thus directly came to thepany''s parking lot


    for him.


    He stood motionless and soon saw the driver push the door open.


    That was the old driver of the Lamonts. He ran over and said respectfully, "Mr. Maverick, Mr. Will and


    Mr. Zane are in the car. Look..."


    Maverick pursed his thin lips in low spirits.


    In the past, Mr. Maverick was as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cer every time the old driver saw


    him.


    But now ... he felt that Mr. Maverick was in a pretty good mood before.


    So the driver boldly said, "Mr. Maverick, Mr. Will misses you. He hasn''t seen you for a long time. Mr.


    Zane is also here."


    Maverick did not say anything, but after pondering for a moment, he walked towards the car.


    When he went over, the driver bent over and helped open the door to the back seat. He stood directly


    beside the door.


    As soon as Maverick entered the carriage, he saw two men sitting in the back seat.


    Although Will was old, he was still in good health. He looked energetic, but his eyes were slightly


    withered.


    Although Maverick and Will weren''t ipatible, they were not on good terms.


    The man sitting on the side was dressed in ck, and he was like Satan. In his eyes, which were


    simr to Maverick''s, there was the abyss-like darkness that no one dared to look at him directly.


    This was Zane.


    He was Maverick''s brother, but he was two years younger than Maverick.


    Actually, the expressions of the two brothers were somewhat simr.


    However, unlike Maverick''s cold and handsome appearance, Zane had a look of determination, but his


    face was unusually pale, and even his lips were very pale.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Zane said first in a hoarse voice, "Maverick, have you been busytely? Dad and I just passed by and


    came to see you."


    Maverick ced his finger on his knee and casually tapped it twice. He answered, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Will thought that he had asked to see this brat so many times during this period.


    However, he didn''te to see him. Today, because Zane was here, he was willing to get in the car.


    At the thought of this, Will became angrier. "What do you mean? Lamont Group is in your hands now,


    so you can do whatever you want? Don''t forget, the shares you own are the same as your big


    brother''s. I can..."


    "Dad, don''t be like this. You''ll scare Maverick away." Zane said at the right time, interrupting Will.


    Maverick sneered, "What, did youe here to teach me how to do business?"


    Will was very angry, "I told you that Den wanted LAL. Why did you take it over? Now give me an


    exnation."


    Maverick frowned and said coldly, "I won''t exin any of mypany''s decisions to anyone."


    Will said, "He is your elder."


    "He is not a Lamont. How can he be my elder?"


    Will''s eyes widened and his voice grew louder, "Do you know what it means to leave some room for


    others?"


    "Those ipetent people need to leave room. I don''t need it."


    "You..."


    "If you don''t mind, I''m leaving."


    "What are you going to do?" Will was really angry. He patted the window and the driver outside locked


    the car door. He said, "You muste back to the Lamont''s with me today."


    Maverick''s face darkened.


    Zane didn''t want them to be deadlocked. At this time, he said, "Maverick, today is grandfather''s


    birthday."


    Maverick didn''t seem to be swayed, and his voice was cold, "Have I recognized him as my


    grandfather?"


    It seemed that Will would jump up in the next second and p the disobedient son.


    However, he was a paper tiger and didn''t dare to touch Maverick.


    "What are you talking about? You''ve already returned to Lamont Group. Do you feel ashamed to say


    that? What''s so important about you? You have to attend such a big party." Will was bluffing in a loud


    voice.


    "Let the driver open the door," Maverick turned a deaf ear.


    Zane asked, "Do you have anything important?"


    Maverick coldly said, "Yes."


    Will said, "I don''t need excuses. You are at least a member of the Lamont family. What did you say


    back then? Juste back and do what you have to. As a grown man, how can you be so intolerant?"


    Maverick''s expression darkenedpletely. "I am naturally not as tolerant as you, Mr. Will. What, do


    you really think you have the qualifications to teach me a lesson?"


    What he said embarrassed Will. He was so angry that he couldn''t say a word.


    Zane was still calm and rxed, and his tone was meticulous. "It''s not appropriate for you not to go


    over today. After all, you are the president of Lamont Group. On grandfather''s birthday, all the people in


    charge of cooperating with Lamont Group will be there. Maverick, do me a favor ande back. A few


    minutes will be OK."


    Maverick stretched out his hand and tugged at his cor. He looked a little irritated. "Why did you force


    me to attend the birthday party? Aren''t you afraid that I won''t give anyone face at that time?"


    Zane paused for a moment before sighing, "I heard that you''ve hired a female secretary?"


    Maverick raised his head and pursed his lips. He was clearly unhappy.


    Will sat on the side and sneered. Hisughing carried a hint of mockery, and its meaning was naturally


    self-evident.


    They were all men. Maverick disliked him having many lovers before.


    However, Maverick was the same as him now.


    Secretary? She was arranged beside him, so that it would be more convenient for him to flirt with her.


    Will finally regained some confidence and shook his cor, "Don''t take her seriously. I heard that you


    brought her with you and directly took away the Kahl''s project. You have too many enemies now, so be


    careful. Otherwise, you won''t find a way out."


    "Who said I was ying with the secretary?" Maverick didn''t want to refute this meaningless topic.


    However, for some reason, hearing Will say "don''t take her seriously", he felt extremely ufortable.


    Frowning, he said word by word, "I said, don''t question the arrangement of my work. If you are


    He wanted to get out of the car and thought of something. The moment he pushed open the car door,


    he tilted slightly and said, "Also, I don''t y with women."


    After Maverick left, Will still wore an angry face, but Zane who was sitting beside him, didn''t seem to be


    irritated.


    Will said, "I told you, he won''t cooperate. Tell your grandfather."


    Zane was thinking about something and said absent-mindedly, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Will looked at the morbid-looking son sitting beside him, and then thought about Maverick who was


    unruly and undisciplined.


    He secretly cursed in his heart. They were all his sons, but none of them could be seen through.


    ...

 Chapter 40 Blind Date

    Chapter 40 Blind Date


    Gloria kept a close watch on Hendrix all the time. He had no choice but to drive his sister to the ce


    where the blind date was arranged today.


    Before Everly got out of the car, Hendrix said thoughtfully, "If you really don''t like it, it''s okay. Just call


    me."


    "I see. You''re even more nervous than me."


    "How about your work in Lamont Group?"


    "Very good."


    Hendrix said, "I forgot to tell youst time. Your ex-boyfriend, Lucas, also works in Lamont Group. Have


    you met him?"


    Everly nodded.


    Hendrix felt relieved when he saw that his sister was calm and didn''t seem to be unhappy. "You can''t


    avoid meeting him, so I didn''t tell you in advance. He has been in Lamont Group all these years. I have


    met him asionally, but I don''t have muchmunication with him. There''s no need to waste any


    effort on such an irresponsible man."


    Back then, such things happened to Everly, so she left City C.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    Actually, Hendrix had someone secretly beat Lucas up several times, but he did not tell his sister.


    Later, Lawrence, Hendrix''s brother, came to intercede for him, so he stopped.


    When Lucas had just graduated from university, he had betrayed his girlfriend, Hendrix''s sister. Hendrix


    had also taught him a lesson. He didn''t care about who he was. Since Lucas did those things to his


    sister like that, he was by no means a good person. From an ordinary family, Hendrix reached such a


    position today. How could he possibly be a simple man?


    Later, when Lucas went to work and just started running his business, Hendrix had someone beat him


    several times.


    Lucas knew that it was Hendrix who ordered them and said that he was a rogue bandit.


    Later on, Lucas did not expect that.


    A rogue bandit, but in five years, made far more achievements than him.


    "Hendrix, are you still worried about me? Edmond is already five-year-old. To be honest, if I didn''t


    encounter him, I almost forgot about him."


    Everly looked at the time and said, "You can go back. I''ll take a taxi myselfter."


    Hendrix did have something else to do this afternoon. "You should drive on you own. I have a few cars


    in the garage. Go get your driver''s license."


    It would be convenient for her to go to and from work. So Everly answered yes.


    After getting out of the car, she nced at the restaurant.


    In order to bring Edmond out for meal, she had checked the good high-end restaurants in City C. This


    restaurant was quite expensive.


    However, Gloria said that that man ... seemed to be a young genius or something.


    Everly had some resistance to blind dates, but now, she wanted to give it a try.


    She looked around the restaurant and soon saw a man who looked simr to the photo she had seen


    at the French window. Everly used to solicit for investment and had a lot of contact with men, so she


    was quite outgoing.


    "Is that Mr. Stanley?" she went over.


    The man raised his head. He had good facial features and was rather gentle. He might be an office


    man, so he was dressed in a refined manner.


    He probably recognized Everly and quickly stood up, "Miss Everly?"


    "Hello."


    When Everly sat down, the two of them greeted each other. Stanley asked her to order first, "I heard


    that Miss Everly has just returned from the United States?"


    Everly casually ordered something to eat and replied, "Yes, I just came back not long ago."


    "Are you working for Lamont Group now?"


    It seemed that Everly''s Mother had introduce her in detail.


    Everly said, "Yes, I was at LAL before, but it was bought by Lamont Group."


    "Which department are you from?"


    Everly thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to hide. She directly said, "Secretary to


    the President."


    The man was obviously a little shocked, "You mean, Lamont Group, Maverick''s secretary?"


    The corner of Everly''s mouth twitched. "Yes," she said. She felt that everyone had overreacted when


    they heard she was Maverick''s secretary?


    No matter how capable Maverick was, he still needed a secretary.


    Very quickly, Everly felt that Stanley was very kind towards her. They ordered steak. He even helped


    her cut the steak very gentlemanly and asked her a lot about thepany.


    Halfway through her meal, Everly found the datepletely dull.


    She didn''t know why, but she always felt that this man wasn''t here for a blind date. He was asking


    about thepany most of the time.


    His topic was centered on Lamont Group.


    Then the man suggested watching a movie or something. Everly really wasn''t interested at all. She


    refused on the pretext of having to go on a business trip tomorrow.


    When Stanley heard that she was going on a business trip, he immediately asked, "Are you going on a


    business trip with Mr. Maverick?"


    Everly didn''t want to answer him.


    "I can''t say much about thepany, so I''ll leave."


    Stanley was awkward and suggested that he would drive her home. Everly didn''t want to be questioned


    along the way.


    She refused politely, and the man did not force her anymore.


    Perhaps he felt that this was the first time they had met.


    However, Everly still exchanged phone numbers with him at his request.


    She didn''t really want to save his number, but Gloria would definitely give him her number. So, she


    saved it and added a note.


    When she got home, it was still early. Gloria was ying Lego with Edmond. When she saw Everly


    "So early? Have you seen him?"


    Everly felt tired and says, "Mom, I''ll go take a shower first."


    "Hey, wait, how is he?" Gloria hurriedly chased after her and asked.


    Everly looked at her son who was focused on ying Lego and went to the kitchen to pour a ss of


    water before whispering, "Just so so."


    "You don''t like him?"


    "Mom, we just met and had a meal. It''s too early to ask me if I like him. Although I''ve been in the United


    States for five years, I''m not that open."


    "It''s fine. If you don''t like him, I will introduce others to you..."


    Gloria knew that her daughter disliked that person. She became more determined to introduce others.


    When she was about to pull out her phone, Edmond ran over and tugged at her sleeve. "Why did you


    introduce others to Mommy? I know a handsome uncle here, and no one else canpare with him."


    Gloria''s eyes lit up, "Handsome uncle? Where did you know him?"


    Edmond was small, but he was very talkative. "I knew him before. He gave me the expensive model I


    had in my room. He was handsome, and his work was very good. He was a good match for Mommy.


    Grandma, don''t introduce others to Mommy. This one is OK. If anyone wants to be my daddy, he


    should be handsome."


    Everly chocked on the water.


    Her heart pounded. Only she knew that this handsome uncle that her son was referring to was her


    immediate superior.


    Edmond wanted to say something else, but, Everly''s phone rang.


    She hurriedly put down the cup and ran out of the kitchen. When she took out her phone, the caller''s


    number was really ... It was Maverick!


    Maverick''s name was on the screen of her phone, dancing without restraint.


    Everly had to answer, "... Mr. Maverick." She lowered her voice a little, "Is there anything wrong with


    you at thiste hour?"

 Chapter 41 So He Slept with His Nephews Ex-Girlfriend

    Chapter 41 So He Slept with His Nephew''s Ex-Girlfriend


    Maverick stood at the entrance of the clubhouse, the evening breeze blowing on his body.


    He heard the soft voice of the woman on the other side of the phone. It even sounded sweet. He gritted


    his teeth and thought, "What exactly did this woman do to him?"


    What was the matter?


    It was sote...


    He was somewhat speechless.


    The wind blew past his ears, but it couldn''tpare with her voice. Through the phone, he could hear


    her breathe softly and steadily.


    The tip of Maverick''s tongue touched the corner of his mouth, and he bit back the words.


    ...


    Half an hour ago¡­


    He met Lawrence in this club.


    The Bevell family and the Lamont family were rtives.


    Lawrence was the young master of the Bevell family and Lucas''s older brother.


    ording to family rtionship, Lawrence had to call Maverick cousin. However, for Maverick,


    Lawrence and Lucas werepletely different.


    In the early years, Lawrence and Maverick had stayed in the army together.


    Lawrence had a quite special identity. He had stayed in City C for more time in these years, but as long


    as he had a mission, he would still leave as soon as possible.


    Lawrence had always risked his life, but the Bevells didn''t approve of him. Maverick knew that he had


    been risking his life to look for someone for so many years.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    This time, Lawrence returned to City C and met Maverick.


    They went to a private clubhouse frequented by them before and had some drink. Lawrence was tall


    and big. He was different from Maverick who was reserved in a straight suit. He often went out at any


    time, and sometimes he would work as an undercover agent. His skin was not as white as a person


    who worked in an office all year round.


    He was 195 feet tall, and his skin was tanned. His hair was cut very short, but his aura was as powerful


    as Maverick''s.


    If Maverick was considered cold, Lawrence was filled with darkness.


    He was a real rough guy, but he was straightforward, so his rtionship with Maverick was close, more


    like a friendship of life and death.


    "Were you injured in thest mission?" Maverick asked.


    Lawrence scratched his hair in a carefree manner. "Maverick, these past few years, without you, I''ve


    never been overtaken by others. It''s just a small matter to be injured. I was just careless."


    Maverick looked at him andughed without asking further.


    However, Lawrence was somewhat surprised by his silence.


    It was Maverick who asked him out today. Right now, the Bevells were looking for him everywhere. He


    even had to avoid the surveince cameras wherever he went. So, he managed toe here for


    Maverick''s sake. Why did he bite his lip all night?


    "Maverick, do you have something to tell me?" Lawrence always respected Maverick.


    In his opinion, Maverick was an invincible person, without any weaknesses.


    Of course, there was one weakness now.


    Five years ago, Maverick suddenly had a daughter, but he protected the child very well and not many


    people outside knew about her.


    "How long are you going to stay here this time?" Maverick questioned him.


    "I don''t know yet, but I''ve got news. If I''m sure it''s true, I might not leave." In front of him, Lawrence


    always said whatever he wanted.


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, "Have you got any news about her?"


    Lawrence nodded. His hands on his knees clenched again. The anger on his face could not be


    concealed. "Damn, I''ve been searching outside for so many years. I just heard a few days ago that that


    girl changed her name and has always been in City C. If I find her this time, I will definitely kill her."


    Maverick didn''t say anything.


    When Lawrence was a freshman, he had a first love, but that girl was a sophomore in senior high


    school.


    Lawrence was a Little Demon. That girl probably had apletely different personality from him. It was


    said that she was a mild girl. For some reason, the two of them were together.


    The second year of high school was the key to the girl, and dating seemed to have a direct impact on


    that girl.


    After that, there were a lot of misunderstandings between them. After the girl went to college, for some


    reason, they separated.


    It was said that after they separated, Lawrence couldn''t find her.


    Afterwards, Lawrence searched around the world for her, but it was said that the girl had been tricked


    into Africa.


    Lawrence performed missions everywhere so that he could find that girl.


    Maverick showed little interest, but he had a problem, like a lump in his throat¡­


    Speaking of Lawrence''s first love, the girl in high school, he changed his mind and whispered, "Your


    younger brother, did he have a girlfriend when he was studying?"


    Lawrence froze for a moment before he remembered something. "Yes, he had a girlfriend in high


    school, and they were together for several years." He stretched out his hand to stroke the back of his


    head and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that they went into a rtionship when they


    were sophomores. Later on, the two of them were admitted by the same university and were together


    until they were juniors. They were together for five years. However, Lucas was unfaithful. Later on, he


    betrayed that girl and dated her good friend who yed tricks on him. Being a two-timer, he got what


    he deserved."


    Maverick''s eyebrows twitched.


    What he wanted to know seemed to be close to him.


    But five years?


    He counted the time and found that it was indeed five years ago, when he had just met Everly, who had


    lost her love and was drunk.


    Everything matched up. However, the heavens yed tricks on people. As time went by, people who


    were supposed to meet and people who were not supposed to meet, were all involved together.


    He didn''t say anything, lit a cigarette, and blew out the smoke.


    It was quite interesting. Did he sleep with his nephew''s ex-girlfriend?


    Lawrence was not as calcting as those who did business. As soon as he started the conversation,


    he would say whatever he thought of.


    "Speaking of which, I remember that girl seems to be form the Farley family. Lucas betrayed her ...


    And, he was beaten up by Hendrix a few times, but Lucas was unable to oppose him. I could only


    mediate between them. Now that Hendrix runs a big business, don''t you have frequent contacts with


    him?"


    Maverick said, "Yes."


    The topic was started by him, but he had no desire to continue.


    It seemed that his guess was correct. It was Everly, Lucas''s ex-girlfriend.


    Lawrence said a few more words with a casual air. Then a call came before he hurriedly left.


    Before leaving, Maverick thought of something and stopped him, "Lawrence."


    "Maverick, what is it?"


    "What''s that girl''s name? Give me the information. Since she''s in City C, I can help you find her."


    Lawrence thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I''ll have to trouble you. However, even if I give


    you the information, you might not find her."


    Maverick dropped his cigarette ashes. "I can use any method you can''t use. Don''t worry, I''ll help you


    find her. I''ll definitely find her."


    ¡­


    After Lawrence left, Maverick sat alone for a while and smoked three cigarettes. His throat was full of


    nicotine, but he still couldn''t hide his anxiety.


    He shook his coat and reached out to touch his cor. Only then did he think of the bow tie.


    It was that woman who took it off for him.


    The man held the small tie and cursed inwardly when he remembered that she had pressed against his


    chest, delicate and obedient.


    After leaving the clubhouse, he didn''t get on the car.


    Then he pulled out his phone and dialed the secretary''s number.


    Everly waited for a while, but didn''t hear Maverick speak. She asked, "Mr. Maverick..."


    "Come here now. I''ll send you the address." Then, he hung up the phone.

 Chapter 42 You Say That Im Your Little Secretary

    Chapter 42 You Say That I''m Your Little Secretary


    "It''s gettingte. You need to go out?"


    Gloria noticed that Everly only had stayed at home less than half an hour. Also, it was gettingte. It


    was improper that Everly''s boss enved Everly like this.


    Besides, Hendrix was sessful. Everly didn''t need to run errands in the middle of the night!


    Gloria stood at the door and watched Everly changing her shoes. Gloria muttered, "Quit if it''s too hard.


    Everly, I hope you live an easy andfortable life. Don''t be bullied by your boss."


    Of course, Everly knew that Gloria loved her very much. Having been a single mother for all these


    years, Everly felt a bit sorry and always wanted to make it up for Gloria.


    With Hendrix''s current assets, Everly indeed could be a carefree freeloader.


    However, she was not like that. It was easy to evolve from frugality to luxury. Comfort was addictive.


    Besides, she still had a son to support.


    "Mom, I''m not tired. Besides, it''s indeed an important document. I have to go." After thinking for a while,


    Everly said to Edmond, "Go to bed early. I will take you to school tomorrow."


    Edmond nodded, "Mommy, the teacher said that parents needed to attend a meeting the day after


    tomorrow."


    The day after tomorrow....


    "What time does it start?"


    "It seems to start after school."


    Everly nodded, "OK. I see. I will go."


    Edmond was happy and said sweetly, "Mommy, be careful. Come back early."


    Everly was happy when she went out. During the half a month she stayed in China, Hendrix had been


    helpful with Edmond. Otherwise, how could Edmond find a kindergarten so easily?


    Her work was also going well.


    Most importantly, Edmond was clearly happier than when he was in America.


    It seemed that she had made the right choice.


    The Farley family did not have a driver at night. Everly''s driver''s license was not ready yet, so she


    could only take a taxi.


    Everly looked at the address that Maverick sent to her on WeChat and told the driver. After thinking for


    a while, she sent a message to Maverick.


    Everly: Mr. Maverick, it''ste. Is there something important? I''m on my way.


    After sending this message, Everly thought of something else and sent another.


    Everly: By the way, Mr. Maverick, you haven''t told me how much that dress is. I''d like to transfer the


    money to you.


    After Everly had Maverick''s WeChat, she hadn''t looked much into his ount.


    She had been too busy recently and had forgotten about it.


    Their first message was Maverick''s address.


    His profile picture was a pair of eyes. At first nce, Everly couldn''t see it clearly. She clicked it and


    found that it was a pair of children''s eyes.


    That pair of eyes were very clear and clean.


    It should be a girl. Her double eyelids were obvious. Her eyes looked clean and clear without any trace


    of impurities. Besides, she was clearly smiling at the camera.


    Everly was a little surprised. Was this Maverick''s style?


    Or perhaps he got the picture on line. Anyway, it looked nice.


    It made her think. When people who had gone out into the world and be the so-called


    sophisticated looked at these eyes, they would believe in once again the purity of souls. And they


    would be lit up and be hopeful.


    Everly was so curious that she browsed Maverick''s Moments.


    She found that he didn''t post anything on his Moments.


    ''Well, this is so Maverick.''


    She waited for a while, but Maverick didn''t reply. Then she put her phone in her bag.


    It took her 20 minutes to arrive at the destination.


    As soon as Everly got off the car, she saw Maverick standing at the door of the club.


    It was already past 9, and it waste autumn. The temperature varied between day and night. When


    Everly got off the car, she got in a draught and pulled her coat subconsciously.


    However, Maverick who was standing not far away only wore a thin shirt, and his coat was casually


    hung on his arm.


    He held a cigarette in one hand and put the other in his trouser pocket. He was thinking about


    something, and his expression was obviously somewhat serious.


    Because it waste at night, his handsome face seemed to havepletely merged into the darkness.


    His ck hair was not as wellbed as when he was in the office. A wisp of hair hung down and


    covered part of his forehead.


    When Maverick noticed her gaze, he turned around slowly.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Everly saw his eyes that were not as sharp as before, probably it was because of his bangs.


    Maverick lookedzy, charming and demonic. Her heart couldn''t help but beat faster.


    He curled his lips and it seemed that he was in a bad mood.


    Everly walked towards him. "Mr. Maverick, I''m sorry to keep you waiting. I live a little far from here."


    Maverick kept staring at her.


    Everly couldn''t stand his gaze. How should she put it? His gaze wasn''t like a boss looking at an


    employee. It was more like a man looking at a woman. That kind of possessiveness was too obvious.


    She swallowed her saliva, "Mr. Maverick, what''s the matter? It''s gettingte."


    "Don''t you want to give me the money for the dress?" Maverick finally spoke. His voice was slightly


    hoarse, but it was still sexy.


    Everly was surprised.


    For the dress?


    Maverick looked at her and said, "I never take women''s money. It was an ident. It''s yours since I


    gave it to you. If you don''t want to owe me a favor, drive me back."


    Everly was surprised. "Drive you back?"


    ''It''s sote, but he asks me here to drive him back. It''s strange.''


    ''Doesn''t he have a lot of drivers?''


    Besides, her driver''s license was only valid in America, and she hadn''t had time to change to a Chinese


    driver''s license.


    "Mr. Maverick, my driver''s license is not valid." She said honestly, "Besides, I know that skirt is


    expensive. You ask me to drive you back to pay back. It seems that I will take advantage of you."


    Maverick shook off the ashes but didn''t smoke. Instead, he moved closer to her.


    Only then did Everly smell the liquor on him.


    Did he drink?


    "You think you''re taking advantage of me?" He revealed a meaningful smile. It might be because he


    had drunk. He looked handsome, in a dazing way. His eyes weren''t as sharp as usual, and they were


    pitch ck and very bright.


    Everly''s mind went nk as she thought of his WeChat profile, that pair of eyes.


    Somehow, at this moment, his edge was missing. These eyes looked simr to those in the picture.


    As she was lost in thought, Maverick was already facing her in standing position, his hand holding the


    cigarette took an abrupt grip of her shoulder.


    "What should you do? My little secretary, do you know that you have taken advantage of me, not just a


    skirt?"


    Everly panicked and wanted to dodge.


    He tightened his grip on her shoulder with a darkened expression.


    "Don''t dodge. We''re not in thepany. I''m not your boss."


    Everly looked at him with a puzzled frown, " ... You called me here as my boss, and you just said...."


    "What?"


    "You said ... ''secretary''...."


    "I definitely said more than the word ''secretary''."


    "You said ''my little secretary''." As soon as Everly finished speaking, she wished she could bite off her


    tongue.


    Her face burned.

 Chapter 43 Were You in Love?

    Chapter 43 Were You in Love?


    It was humid in the air.


    The alley looked grim after night fell.


    It was difficult for cars to pass through such a alley, so the driver turned around and said to thedy


    sitting at the back seat, "Miss Candy, I guess we can''t go any further."


    Carolina nodded, "OK, just wait here."


    She opened the door and got off the car.


    The sound of her high heels echoed in the alley. Not far from her, there was a man in ck waiting


    there.


    The man might had been there for a while. And it was hard to see his face clearly.


    Carolina didn''t want toe into contact with people like him, but he told her that the only way to get


    the document was toe and met him in person. Since she really needed this information, so she still


    decided toe.


    As she walked closer to the man, she realized that he was wearing a hat and a mask. So, there was no


    way to recognize his face.


    Carolina was getting impatient. She felt exposed while the man waspletely hidden in the dark.


    "I''m here. Where''s the document?" She cut to the chase because she didn''t want to stay for long.


    "Once I got what I wanted, you will get the money from your ount."


    The man started to talk, "Miss Carolina, I admire your frankness. And I am also a man of my words.


    Here is what you want." He smiled and passed a folder to her. Though she couldn''t see his face, but he


    sounded gloating. "This is exclusive. You made an excellent choice when you came to us for this


    matter."


    Carolina took a deep breath and said, "This will be the only time that I show up. I will note again."


    "Miss Carolina, what are you worried about? We are professionals and we follow the rules."


    "If that''s true, then stop calling my name."


    "Miss Carolina, don''t worry. Even if someone found out what you did, you won''t take the me. You''ve


    got a little sister, remember?" The man took a pause and resumed while stroking her chin, "And let me


    tell you more about it. You''re not the only one checking on her. Your sister was also sniffing around this


    too, but she didn''t get anything yet."


    She wasn''t surprised.


    She let Karen know about Everly on purpose.


    Because Carolina knew her well and she would definitely keep digging.


    She snorted and didn''t want to stay any longer. Just as she was about to leave, the man stopped her.


    "Is there anything else?"


    "I am telling you this as a favor. The woman that you are dealing with is not an easy bone to chew on.


    Her brother has sophisticated connections. So, if you want to deal with her, you need to get rid of her


    brother first."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Did you mean Hendrix?


    Carolina didn''t care much about it.


    She got on the car and started to read the document.


    She was shocked by the information in hand. At first, she felt hard to believe in what she was reading


    about, and then she felt it was ridiculous.


    Everly was once Lucas'' girlfriend. Nice work.


    She went abroad five years ago, and had a child there.


    What was going to do this time back? To find a rich stepfather for her son?


    How dare she make a move on Maverick!


    Well yed, youngdy. Nephew and his uncle, you yed them both.


    Then, she noticed that Edmond also went to Crane Kindergarten.


    Carolina was getting furious. She felt herself being too carless and let this vulgar woman had her


    chance.


    Good job, Everly! No wonder Candy wouldn''t stop talking about a little boytely.


    The more she read about it, the angrier she got. Her fingers sped tightly to the edge of the


    document.


    She stared through the car window and the night lights from the road shed over her face. Her eyes


    were brimming with viciousness.


    **


    Everly found Maverick weird today. In fact, he was an entirely different man.


    Maverick said he had been drinking and couldn''t drive. And his driver couldn''t pick him up, so he asked


    her to drive him home.


    But she still didn''t have her driver''s license yet, so Maverick asked her to get a driver online.


    Everly couldn''t stop whining about it inwardly. Why would he call her over in the middle of the night


    when he could just get a driver himself?


    When the driver arrived, Maverick still didn''t let her go and asked her to get on the car with him.


    She checked the time and felt anxious to go, because she still had to get up early the next day.


    Everly looked impatient. Maverick curled up his lips while looking at her, and tapped his knees and


    said, "Do you know how Jayden worked before?"


    Everly paused and turned back to look at him.


    He raised his eyebrows, "You''re doing Jayden''s job now. But I am paying you much more. You will do


    as I say even if I asked you to follow me 24 hours a day. Otherwise, what do you think secretaries do?"


    Everly was speechless.


    What did they do?


    They were supposed to assist their bosses when there was real work, not toil 24 hours a day for them.


    It had nothing to do with the raise of sry.


    "From now on, don''t show me that face." He ordered.


    Everly twitched her mouth.


    "Are you in love?" He dropped this unexpected question at her.


    Everly was shocked and paused for a while. She was about to say no, but instead she said, "Do I also


    need to report to you about my personal life?"


    Maverick''s face was slightly darkened and he kept silent.


    He tightened his palms on his knees and then slowly loosened up.


    His moods were kept imperceptible.


    Somehow, Everly could still feel that he wasn''t happy.


    But she wasn''t in the mood to exin herself. The car finally had arrived at his Vi. Maverick got off


    the car and saw her had no intention to move. He knocked on the window, "Get off the car."


    Everly was speechless again.


    She rolled down the window andid over the door. With a soft tone she said, "Boss, it''ste. Can I ask


    the driver to take me home? I''ll ask someone to drive your car back tomorrow."


    Maverick''s face remained unchanged, "No."


    "..."


    "You got to stay here tonight. We will be heading to the airport at 5." He left an order in a cold voice.


    Everly didn''t see thating, "What!"


    "Do you get it? I don''t have time to repeat myself. Now, get off the car." Then he said to the driver, "You


    can go now."


    The driver took the money and left.


    Everly had no choice but to get off the car. She ran after Maverick and was trying to catch up with him.


    "Maverick!"

 Chapter 44 I Even Suspected I Had Two Children Back Then

    Chapter 44 I Even Suspected I Had Two Children Back Then


    Maverick who walked in front seemingly had no intention of waiting for her.


    So Everly sped up her steps to catch him. However, he suddenly stopped when he arrived at the door.


    Before she stood steadily, Everly bumped into his back.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She let out a little moan and covered her painful nose with her hands. Hearing it, Maverick turned


    around and saw a pair of watery and misty eyes.


    The eyes....


    They were the most special and mysterious human body parts.


    It was said one''s eyes were the windows to his soul.


    That was true.


    However, Maverick had not seen her face closely. Now he found her eyes were extremely beautiful.


    And it was never known to him before.


    In an instant, the eyes of another important person for him shed through his mind.


    He recalled his daughter''s eyes.


    Even though Everly was an adult, she had the same watery and purple eyes as her daughter''s which


    sparked as bright as diamond when she looked at him.


    Maverick''s heart skipped a beat.


    "It hurts...."


    Everly didn''t know what Maverick was thinking. She was very angry now, so she defended herself,


    "Maverick, you should have told me beforehand if you n to go on a business trip, shouldn''t you? But


    you suddenly asked me toe over and even to stay here for the night. Don''t you think it''s


    unreasonable?"


    Maverick just gazed at her and said nothing.


    In his heart, he spoke to himself, '' It''s indeed unreasonable.''


    He actually felt Candy''s eyes were the same as hers.


    Candy was his daughter. However, he still didn''t know who her mother was....


    Candy was five years old this year.


    ....


    ''No, it was impossible.'' Maverick thought.


    He was very clear about how he had the daughter.


    Even though she ... had slept one night with him five years ago, she couldn''t have anything to do with


    Candy.


    There was indeed something wrong with him tonight.


    He was too crazy to have such an illusion.


    Maverick grew restless, being unable to keep calm.


    ''Was it because I had drunk today?'' Maverick thought.


    He was not sure, but he knew clearly that he was in danger now.


    He found it hard to hide his feeling about her. It just escaped from his eyes when he looked at her.


    He had never had this emotion before.


    "I''ll have the driver take you back." He suddenly changed his mind.


    "What?" Everly was a little dumbstruck.


    She actually had thought of quite a few reasons. Of course, it was best oue for her that Maverick


    changed his mind. However ... she had a strange illusion.


    She felt that Maverick acted very strangely today. He looked upset and seemed to lose his way. Why


    would he behave like this today?


    She had never seen him stressed or preupied before.


    However, it was none of her business what he thought.


    "Then do I still have to go on a business trip tomorrow?" She actually hoped that Maverick told her not


    to because she was going to attend Edmond''s parents'' meeting. If the business tripsted too long, she


    was afraid that she couldn''te back to attend it.


    However, allowing her home was the biggest concession he could make. Maverick said coldly with a


    calm expression, "You can go back if you want. Then leave for the airport at five o''clock. Don''t bete."


    Everly said no more.


    **


    On the way back, Everly was really furious.


    However, she was seemingly doomed to run about tonight. At this moment, she received a call from


    Jack. The other side said happily, "Everly, I''m in City C now. Is it convenient for you toe out to


    meet me now?"


    Everly looked at the time. It was veryte and she had to go to the airport at five o''clock. She probably


    had no time to sleep tonight.


    But it was good that Jack came here. She had been waiting for him.


    After getting the name of the hotel where he stayed, Everly asked the driver to change the routes. Half


    an hourter, she arrived at the hotel.


    They had a very fine rtionship when she was in the United States.


    Jack was a doctor and he was her attending physician when she was pregnant. They were about the


    same age. Jack had always said that Everly was that type of Asian women who he admired. She was


    tender and graceful. And she became more attractive when she was pregnant.


    But Jack became a field doctorter and traveled around the world these years.


    Everly was also surprised that he woulde to City C this time.


    They were both very happy and rxed to meet each other again after a long time and had a little


    wine. Everly smiled and said to Jack, "I can only apany you for two hours. I have to go hometer


    because I''m going to go on a business trip tomorrow. You can stay here for a while longer. I''ll show you


    round when Ie back."


    Jack said, smiling, "Don''t bother. You go and do your work. Ie here just to send you these


    documents that you need."


    Everly had spent five years abroad. At that time, in order to stay in America, she married Jack, a pure


    American, and became his wife in name.


    "Sign it and we''ll officially get divorced," Jack said. "But now you''re back. I''m afraid it will have a bad


    impact on you that you have been married if you want to start a new rtionship."


    Hearing it, Everly remembered that she had a blind date today and couldn''t help butugh, "It doesn''t


    matter. I may not remarry either. Come on, let''s talk about something else."


    Jack was usually a talkative person, but he was a little quiet today and was teetering on the edge of


    saying something several times.


    "What''s the matter? Is there anything you want to tell me?"


    Jack pondered for a moment and said, "Everly, I''m likely to leave soon and not sure when I''ll see you


    again. Actually ... there is one thing I didn''t tell you when you were pregnant."


    "What is it?" Everlyughed and made a joke, "You''re so serious. I even suspect that I gave birth to two


    children and lost one."


    For Everly, it was just a casual joke, but Jack opened his eyes wide in shock when he heard it.


    When Everly finished her words, she looked down and gave her ss a swirl. So, she didn''t see his


    shocked expression.


    At the same time, Jack''s phone rang.


    He picked up his phone with aplicated expression and their conversation was interrupted.


    Jack hung up his phone. When Everly was about to ask him what he wanted to say, her mother called


    her this time because she did note back sote.


    So that topic was forgotten by them.


    Everly stood up and said, "I''m leaving now. You really don''t want to stay for a few more days?"


    Everly was not sure if it had anything to do with that phone call. She found that Jack''s expression was


    a little strange now. "I''ve got urgent business to attend to, so I''m likely to leave tomorrow," Jack said.


    "Alright, let''s contactter."


    "Everly, take care of yourself. Call me that number if you need any help."


    Everly smiled, gave him a hug and then said goodbye.


    She walked out of Jack''s room and did not see that her best friend for so many years, was looking at


    her with his eyes full of guilt before the door was closed.


    Everly entered the elevator and at this time she had no idea about what was going to happen tonight at


    all.


    Just as the elevator was going to close, two hands stretched in.


    Everly looked up and opened her eyes wide when she saw that the person who was about to enter the


    elevator.


    "You...."

 Chapter 45 You Are Very Special to Mr. Maverick

    Chapter 45 You Are Very Special to Mr. Maverick


    When Everly was in high school, she had two close friends.


    In the third year of high school, after Everly became Lucas'' girlfriend, one of her good friends started to


    distance herself from Everly.


    It had nothing to do with Lukas. Something had happened to Everly''s friend''s family at that time.


    Everly had just stepped into the world of love. The pure love made it very easy for her to "value her


    boyfriend over friends".


    As time passed, Everly finally found out that her good friend had moved and left City C.


    Days passed into years in a sh.


    Everly was surprised that her friend had returned to City C.


    Although it had been many years, Everly recognized her at a nce. Everly''s friend didn''t change


    much, but was taller. And her eyes weren''t as lively as when they were students.


    "Beth?" There was no uncertainty. Everly was certain that this was Beth Carter.


    Beth was stunned for a moment. Her expression was somewhatplicated, but it then turned into


    ''expected''.


    "What a coincidence to see you here."


    "It''s really you!" Everly was a little excited. "Beth, where have you been all these years? Why did you


    Everly was genuinely happy.


    Back then, she had two best friends. Everly was closer to Beth. Later, Beth left without saying a word


    after something happened to her family. Then Everly got closer to the other one.


    Then at college, that girl went onto close terms with her boyfriend.


    This was a fatal blow to Everly.


    Afterwards, after escaping from the country, Everly did not make any friends of simr age.


    Beth smiled and said, "Everly, I know you''re back. I was going to contact you." She paused, looked at


    the surveince camera, and then directly buckled her cap on her face, "Let''s go in and talk."


    Only then did Everly notice that Beth was dressed in pure ck. Beth was wearing a hat and with


    sunsses in her hand.


    Beth was avoiding the camera.


    Everly did not know what exactly happened to Beth. It was gettingte now. She was heading home,


    but now, she wanted to talk to Beth.


    Everly texted Gloria and told Gloria that she might be back homete and have to go on a business trip


    tomorrow.


    Gloria thought that Everly''s boss made her daughter work overtime, so she kept asking around on the


    phone.


    Everly thought of that her mother knew Beth and liked Beth. So Everly told Gloria that she had


    identally met Beth.


    Only then did Gloria believe Everly and told Everly that she would pack the luggage for Everly''s


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    business trip.


    Everly put away her phone and followed Beth into the hotel room where she was staying.


    Everly discovered that Beth should have lived here for some time.


    Although the hotel room was cleaned every day, one could see at a nce at the door that Beth''s stuff


    was everywhere.


    Beth used to leave her stuff around in the room, which would pile up into a mess.


    The Carter family was quite rich before. Beth had a twin sister, Miriam Carter.


    The two sisters looked different and had different personalities.


    "Beth, have you been staying in a hotel all the time?"


    Everly sat down and saw that Beth had already taken off her ck coat and ck hat. Only then did


    Everly realize that Beth''s short hair was a wig. With the wig off, she revealed her long linen hair.


    Beth looked pretty beautiful. Her beauty was hidden by ck just now.


    Now the ck clothes on her body had been taken off, and she looked much brighter.


    "Who are you hiding from?" Everly smiled.


    After thinking for a long time, Everly suddenly said, "After these years, have you still kept in touch with


    that ...? His name?"


    Everly couldn''t call out that name for a moment. Back then, they weren''t ssmates. That boy was


    several years ahead of them in school. Everly didn''t know how he got to know Beth. He was Beth''s


    boyfriend for some time.


    Beth had told Everly that her boyfriend was too possessive and wanted to break up.


    Everly knew nothing about what happenedter.


    "Yes." Beth admitted, "Lawrence. He has been looking for me for years, but I don''t want to see him. I''ve


    been hiding all the time."


    Everly remembered that the name of that boy was Lawrence Bevell. It happened that Lawrence had


    the same surname as her scum ex-boyfriend.


    "Then have you been in City C all these years?"


    "No. I wasn''t in the country before, but I found it harder to hide abroad. Lawrence looked for me all over


    the world. Later on, I felt that it was better to stay in the country. The most dangerous ce was the


    safest ce." Beth smiled, "Lawrence definitely wouldn''t know that I work in Maverick''spany."


    Everly was shocked, "You''re in the Lamont Group?"


    "Yes."


    "Which department are you in?"


    "Marketing." Beth thought of the gossips in the marketing department. They talked about Everly every


    day. Beth wanted to keep her identity a secret. Otherwise, she would have torn their mouths apart.


    "Actually, I wasn''t going to see you until a few dayster. I know that you are Maverick''s secretary.


    Recently, people just can''t stop gossiping about you."


    Everly didn''t know about the gossip forum and thought what Beth said was the gossip in people''s


    mouths.


    "I heard that Maverick didn''t hire female secretaries in the past." She exined awkwardly, "Maybe it''s


    because of this."


    "You''re very special to Mr. Maverick." Beth said with a faint smile.


    Everly''s expression changed slightly. She said, "Since you are also in the Lamont Group, you must


    know that Lucas is Maverick''s nephew. What a strange twist of fate it is!"


    Beth smiled, "That''s right. I''ve seen Lucas several times. And..."


    "Lawrence and Lucas are brothers, so Lawrence is also Maverick''s nephew." Beth dropped a


    bombshell.


    Everly waspletely dumbfounded.


    Damn it. The world was too small!


    "You can''t hide for the rest of your life, can you? What happened to your family back then? Why didn''t


    you rent a house, but stay in a hotel...?"


    "It is troublesome. I don''t n to stay in City C for a long time. I will work here for a short time." Beth


    said indifferently, "I was going to meet you secretly in the future. Today is unexpected. I might leave


    City C soon."


    Everly frowned, "Beth, do you want to keep moving just to avoid a man? I think you can solve it face to


    face no matter what the problem is."


    Everly felt that Beth had changed a lot.


    Beth may seem a free soul on the outside, but there was deep sorrow in her eyes.


    Everly felt a pity for Beth, so she stayed to chat with Beth. They talked a lot.


    Beth also talked with Everly about Sarah.


    Sarah was Lucas'' girlfriend at college. She was also Everly''s best friend in high school.


    Beth said disdainfully, "Sarah has been kept by a wealthy businessman for the past few years. She has


    been a mistress. Do you know that?"


    ...


    Sarah had tried her best to steal Everly''s boyfriend, Lucas. It looked that she never changed.


    It was dawn, four o''clock.


    Everly went home and took her luggage. She left a note for her son and hurriedly went to the airport


    without waking up her family who were sleeping.

 Chapter 46 He Snatched the Phone from Her

    Chapter 46 He Snatched the Phone from Her


    Beth told Everly that thepany had an online forum.


    So when she was on her way to the airport, she took out her phone to search it.


    The post at the top was really ring.


    The title read: What Sets a Female Secretary Apart from a Male Assistant? Check out This Bitch at


    Lamont Group!


    She had a hunch that this post should be the one Beth had mentioned.


    She clicked it.


    After a seconds ofwork dy, a few photos popped up.


    Everly swiped the screen, wide-eyed. She nearly let the phone slip from her hand.


    ''Isn''t that me adjusting Maverick''s tie?''


    She could not believe that pictures of her and Maverick had been taken when he put her on the


    cab. Of course, mosaic was added on their faces, but that could never make things better.


    It was her and Maverick.


    She scrolled down. Most of thements were attacks against her.


    Moreover, these people were really resourceful. They dug up her background.


    Some guys even gave a vivid and borate ount of her rtionship with Lucas.


    However, Lamont Group was headquartered in City B. Therefore, many University C graduates chose


    to work here. As soon as a topic like this came up, they woulde toment under anonymity.


    The forum of this kind ofpany was used by the employees to ease pressure from work, where they


    can gossip or simply chitchat.


    That exined why many people were anonymous, and she did not know who they were. Anyway, the


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Since Lucas was her ex, the way those trolls talked about her was like she hadmitted incest.


    She couldn''t bear to see more after reading dozens of thements. Nobody can be immune to such


    vilification. She felt hurt.


    What the hell?


    ''Are those guys idle nuts? Even though I seemed indecent in those pictures, they can''t give such hurtful


    speeches.''


    Everly had never encountered such kind of things when she was in the United States.


    She had the urge several times to register another ount and argue with them. However, on second


    thought, this might be what they wanted--to make her angry. They would be overjoyed to see her


    getting enraged.


    In the end, she looked terrible when she arrived at the airport as she did not rest well and was pissed


    off by this shit early in the morning.


    The good news was that Jayden would be around on this business trip.


    Everly didn''t know where they were going, so she entrusted her ID card to Jayden so that he could her


    get the air ticket.


    She didn''t see Maverick. And she hadn''t eaten much that day, so she found a ce to take a bite.


    It was about five o''clock when Maverick arrived.


    Everly was sitting in a chair with coffee in her hands after she filled her belly with food. She had got


    dark circles and was in low spirits. When a dark shadow enveloped her, she did not notice that and was


    about to yawn.


    It was when she opened her mouth really big that she saw Maverick standing in front of her.


    Contrary to her low spirits, Mr. Maverick looked great. Maybe because he got up early, it looked even


    chillier between his eyebrows.


    And at the moment, he was looking down at her.


    She froze there for a second, and her hand holding the coffee gave a sudden jerk, and then she quickly


    shut her mouth.


    In front of the opposite sex, women would, more or less, try to look good.


    "Good morning, Mr. Maverick." She stood up.


    Although she was told to take the business trip on such a short notice and the departure time was so


    early,


    Everly did notin as it was her job.


    Besides, he was there on time.


    "Didn''t sleep well?" Maverick frowned and his gaze fell on her coffee. He saw the ck circles around


    her eyes.


    ''I did not sleep at all,'' she thought to herself.


    However, she just shook her head.


    Then Jayden approached them and reminded them that they could pass the security check now.


    Everly drank up the coffee in one gulp, and threw the cup away before following them to the security


    check.


    They did not queue as they can use the VIP boarding service.


    Everly did not know where they were going until she checked the ticket. The destination was Weirdale.


    It was three hours away from City C.


    After hearing Jayden report to Maverick about the situation in Weirdale, she realized that it was about a


    project Maverick developed after he got this position.


    No wonder he took it so seriously.


    However, Everly knew that as she was new to being Maverick''s secretary and the business, so Jayden


    was in theirpany.


    By 6 o''clock, they were on the ne.


    Everly was arranged to sit next to Maverick, while Jayden was in the next row.


    As Jayden had been at LAL Branch recently and the he was called to take this trip on a short notice, so


    he had to report his work now.


    Sleepy, Everly tried to listen and felt a little guilty when Jayden seemed such a professional.


    ''I need to learn the ropes as soon as possible.''


    Then airline stewardess came to remind the passengers to turn off their phones.


    When Everly took out her phone and was about to turn it off, a call came in.


    Perhaps because the bell rang abruptly, Maverick, who sat next to her, turned to her.


    The name appeared on the screen was "Babe," and the profile photo was the man that Maverick saw


    when she was drunkst time.


    Maverick''s face became extremely grim.


    Jayden, who had been reporting for a while, looked up when he did not get any responses from Mr.


    Maverick, only to see his boss snatching Everly''s phone.


    Before Everly could say anything, the man hung up the call and said coldly, "Have you ever been


    listening to Jayden? This is a trip for business, not for fun. Jayden is doing the job for you."


    Everly was furious.


    To be honest, she didn''t know anything. She was informed of the trip toote to make much


    preparations.


    It was her fault that she stayed up all night, which affected her spirits now.


    On thought of all those nonsense on the forum,


    and her son''s parent-teacher meeting, she felt on the verge of breaking her promise.


    She was kind of moody and felt strained and tired.


    And now this man hung up her son''s call!


    Even though he was the boss, he didn''t have the right to do so, did he?


    Besides, couldn''t he tell her about this trip earlier?


    She was a human being, not a machine. It was impossible for her to sort out all the materials with just a


    few keystrokes.


    "Sorry, Mr. Maverick." She clenched her fists tightly. She had never thought that she could get germs


    for job, but what was the grievance about at the moment?


    Her eyes turned red.


    She bit her lips.


    "I will try my best to take everything over from Jayden." After thinking for seconds, she stood up and


    said, "How about Jayden and I changing our seats? So that you can talk. I can also go through all the


    materials at the same time."

 Chapter 47 He Could not Control His Actions and Emotions

    Chapter 47 He Could not Control His Actions and Emotions


    In fact, Everly did that partly out of anger.


    Despite that she also felt that she was in no position to be like this.


    It was all about business. Besides, he was the boss, so she should to do what he told her to do as long


    as it was reasonable.


    However, she failed to control her feelings.


    She tried to gain the control w through reasoning, but in the end, the feelings grew stronger. The harder


    she tried, the stronger it got.


    Before Maverick could say anything, she directly went to ask Jayden to change seats.


    Jayden felt a little embarrassed.


    Perhaps the two of them didn''t notice that, but ... as a bystander, why did he feel that Mr. Maverick and


    Everly were mad at each other?


    Although no one had ever dared to talk to Mr. Maverick like her, it seemed that Mr. Maverick also had


    never directly snatched another''s phone to stop them from answering the phone, regardless of his


    image.


    Then it dawned on Jayden.


    He was somewhat disappointed when Mr. Maverick let Everly be his secretary at first.


    After all, he had worked for him for so many years.


    Well, it seemed that there was something between them.


    But didn''t this woman had a son?


    Jayden''s imagination began to run wild. A drama had already been produced in his mind. He


    remembered the little boy who had met Mr. Maverick many times in a day, and thought about Everly


    who was working beside Mr. Maverick ...


    Wasn''t this their game?


    Jayden hesitated.


    Actually, he himself did not like gossiping about other people''s privacy.


    He had seen Everly''s r¨¦sum¨¦ at LAL. When she was in the US, she did not mention that she was


    married. That was to say that she did not want to let people know the existence of her child.


    Sometimes, men thought differently from women.


    Women may be eager to gossip, but men weren''t.


    Jayden was an upright man, so he hesitated for a moment whether he should tell Mr. Maverick about


    it?


    Or ... he should keep his mouth shut?


    However, after he took the seat, Jayden could clearly feel that Mr. Maverick was in a dark mood.


    And most importantly, the work was slowed down.


    This was the first time Jayden felt that getting involved in a silent fight between a couple was thest


    thing he would do.


    Maverick had been not in the mood. He knew very well what he had done was gratuitous.


    He just lost control when he saw the call.


    And he felt even more upset when that woman tried to master her rage and put up with it.


    The flight would take over three hours.


    Although Everly said that she wanted to sort out the materials, her head and body wanted to take a


    rest. And especially after the mood swing, sleep quickly rolled over her as she gradually calmed down.


    She didn''t know when she fell asleep.


    She even didn''t wake up when the nended.


    Thus, when Jayden and Maverick were about to leave, they discovered that the woman sitting behind


    them was holding a stack of documents and sleeping soundly.


    Jayden wanted to wake Everly up, but Maverick stopped him.


    After that, Jayden had saw a scene with an expression of disbelief -- Maverick took off his coat, put it


    on Everly, then bent down to pick up the sleeping woman and got off the ne.


    Jayden followed him, feeling as if he was stepping on the clouds.


    What was his boss doing?


    Mr. Maverick ... he was actually willing to take the initiative to hold a woman?


    He even covered his coat on a woman?


    It was Maverick Lamont.


    He had been working for Mr. Maverick for years. Mr. Maverick had barely taken the two Kahl girls or


    even the Italian girl serious. But now, there was this secretary...


    Jayden once again started to ruminate whether he should tell Mr. Maverick about it or not.


    However, he had to find a chance to bring it up.


    In fact, Everly felt that Maverick intended to make things hard for her through going on a business trip


    without informing her in advance.


    Actually, it was not.


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    There was a situation in Weirdale. Maverick needed to be there in the flesh.


    Jayden had been around him every time he went on a business trip. And it was no exception this time.


    Of course, Everly didn''t know that at the moment.


    She was still in sound sleep.


    Jayden sat in the passenger seat and peeked at the rear seat through the rear-view mirror several


    times.


    He had forgotten what shock meant.


    He just found it unbelievable.


    Mr. Maverick carried the woman off the ne, out of the airport, and got into the car.


    Right now, she was still sleeping on Mr. Maverick''s thigh.


    Mr. Maverick was kind of a cleaner freak. A major feature was that he hated physical contact with


    people, except Candy.


    It seemed that this secretary was no normal people to him.


    "Have you contacted the suppliers?" Maverick suddenly asked.


    Jayden hurriedly withdrew his gaze and felt awkward. So he said quickly, "I''ll contact them


    immediately."


    Maverick frowned. He was probably a little unhappy that Jayden hadn''t make contact in advance, but


    then he remembered that this trip was not arranged in advance too.


    He simply waved his hand and said, "Let''s go to the hotel first. Since we''ve been here, these few hours


    would not cause any trouble. Make appointment for tonight and do as I told you before."


    Jayden nodded. "Mr. Maverick, do we need to contact Mr. Byron?"


    Maverick pondered for a moment. "Although Weirdale is not my territory, things are under control right


    now. There is no need to bother him."


    The Puth family was not peaceful now. Byron was currently dealing with his elder brother. He didn''t


    want to trouble him with such a small matter at this time.


    Jayden got it.


    They arrived at the hotel soon, but Everly did not wake up.


    When the car stopped, Maverick said to Jayden, "You go and get the rooms ready."


    For some reason, when Jayden got off the car, he felt that Mr. Maverick was nning to let Everly


    continue sleeping.


    The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. Was Mr. Maverick really that patient?


    In fact, Maverick did have the n.


    He knew she probably hadn''t rested well yesterday when he saw her at the airport this morning.


    He wanted to give her time for some good rest when they were on the ne.


    But a phone call destroyed that.


    He didn''t know what came over him at that moment. But when he saw her red eyes, he felt as if his


    heart had been held tight by her little hand.


    That bitter feeling defied description.


    It was bitterness mixed with pain and sorrow.


    Maverick had never felt this way before. He had been distracted along the way as Jayden went on


    about the project.


    Deep down in his heart, there was a voice constantly telling him that things might get off the track, and


    beyond his control.


    But even though he knew it, he still could not control his actions and emotions.


    ...


    ...


    At least for now, he seemed to have experienced the emotions he had never experienced in the past


    30 years.


    Everly.


    As the driver left the car for them, Maverick looked directly at the women in his arms. The emotions in


    his eyes were thinly veiled.


    It was possibly because of the intensity of his emotion,


    The person who had been sleeping soundly suddenly groaned.


    It was a very special, female groan.


    It had nothing to do with sensual desire.


    However, when Maverick heard this, he felt as if a fire had been ignited in him in an instant.


    His blood raced in the vessels and his breathing became harder. He found it difficult to restrain himself.

 Chapter 48 If You Want to Tell Mr. Maverick That I Have a Son Please Go Ah

    Chapter 48 If You Want to Tell Mr. Maverick That I Have a Son Please Go Ah


    One side of Everly''s cheek was closely attached to the man''sp.


    Everly had just woken up, being a little unconscious. She felt a little ufortable for her face was


    against something, so she couldn''t help but rub it.


    Before this moment, Maverick had never seen himself as a lustful man. At least for so many years, with


    his power and wealth, women would kill for a spot beside him, and when they dide close, he would


    remain indifferent.


    Men''s desires weren''t that hard to restrain like others imed.


    As long as you don''t want to, and weren''t interested, you wouldn''t have any desire.


    But he did now.


    Moreover, it came at a speed that he was unable to control at all.


    Everly didn''t know what the man was thinking and was still moving.


    Maverick''s eyes were filled with emotions that couldn''t fade away easily.


    ''This woman, does she know what she is doing?''


    If he continued to do nothing about this, he wouldpletely lose control because of her. Then


    Maverick reached out and pinched her chin, and asked in a suppressed tone of voice, "What are you


    doing?"


    The sudden male voice suddenly broke the silence in the car.


    Everly''s mind went nk for a moment before she suddenly remembered something and sat up.


    Her gaze instantly met the unusually enthusiastic look in Maverick''s eyes.


    A rumbling sound.


    It seemed a shocking bolt of lightning had struck down from above.


    Her face blushed scarlet out of embarrassment.


    ''What is going on?''


    Everly hastily shifted her gaze away, and her body moved a little to the side, by a distance barely


    noticeable.


    Everly wanted to say something as she did find such a Maverick too way out of line, almost like a


    hooligan.


    But on second thought, she recalled that she was the one who slept on hisp.


    She quickly figured out the current situation and concluded that all of this was her fault.


    Everly''s mind was in a mess. She had a tendency to get up the wrong side of the bed. In addition, she


    was still a little upset about what happened on the ne. But now this...


    Her head was bombarded with all her own thoughts and she didn''t know what to say when she opened


    her mouth.


    Maverick felt so hot and thirst in lust.


    If he stayed in such a small space with her any longer, he could not guarantee that he wouldn''t do


    anything.


    The man took a deep breath and remained silent for two minutes before the awkwardness dissipated.


    At the same time, Everly shrank herself to the side, burying her head in the sand.


    When Maverick pushed open the car door and got off, Everly heaved a sigh of relief.


    She hurriedly got out of the car as well.


    Looking around again, Everly then finally realized that they had arrived at the hotel.


    Everly reached out and pinched her slightly painful temples. Then she followed behind Maverick with


    her suitcase, at a distance of five meters, and went into the hotel.


    Jayden had already checked in for them, and Maverick was used to presidential suites.


    The rooms for Everly and Jayden were beneath Maverick''s. The three of them would meet at 9 a. m.


    But there wasn''t much time for Maverick and Everly.


    Maverick answered one phone call and instructed Jayden to postpone the meeting until evening.


    Everly went to her room and tidied up her things. When she finished, she remembered that her phone


    was still in Maverick''s hand. Reluctant toe to his door, she chose to call him through the phone of


    the hotel.


    However, she didn''t know which room Maverick stayed. After thinking for a while, Everly knocked on


    Jayden''s door next door.


    Jayden was probably also sorting out his luggage. When he opened the door, Everly stood at the door


    and asked, "Do you know Mr. Maverick''s room number?"


    Jayden''s expression changed slightly.


    Seeing this, Everly was sure that there was a sh of disdain in Jayden''s eyes. After all Jaydan had


    been aloof when handing over his job to her.


    Everly thought for a moment and concluded that he might have misunderstood her.


    But she didn''t feel the need to exin to him. So she said briefly, "My phone is with Mr. Maverick. I


    want to text my family since I''ve got the time."


    Jayden looked at Everly and asked, "Secretary Everly, may I ask you some personal questions?"


    Everly had already guessed what he wanted to ask and nodded, "Yes."


    Jayden had rehearsed this in his brain before blurting it out. Maybe it was because all the


    embarrassing words in the forum of Lamont Group that she saw before, Everly had mentally prepared


    herself for what Jayden might say.


    As for Jayden, he was very considerate and careful with his choice of words.


    "Secretary Everly, I''ve been Mr. Maverick''s assistant for many years. However, what between Mr.


    Maverick and you is still new to me. I don''t know what kind of rtionship you have, but you shouldn''t


    forget what happened at the hotel and the airport as well I sending your son away."


    It was indeed this matter.


    Everly nodded generously, "I won''t forget. Is this rted to my work?"


    "No." Jayden paused for a moment and said, "At first, I felt that your son was intentionally approaching


    Mr. Maverick. And I still have the same belief."


    Everly smiled and said, "Assistant Jayden, bing Mr. Maverick''s secretary is not what I wanted. But


    Mr. Maverick and I did have some conflicts before. Others might be eager to win his favor due to his


    status. However, I really don''t. I really don''t see Mr. Maverick that way. As for the matter concerning my


    son, I''m sorry I don''t know the details. He only mentioned that he met a man. If you need to report to


    Mr. Maverick that I have a son, please go ahead. I never intend to hide it."


    After she finished speaking, Everly prepared to leave. But she added a few words, "Assistant Jayden, if


    you can, you can also transfer me to another department. In that case, I would be extremely grateful."


    Everly waved her hands and said helplessly, "As you can see, this is who I am. I may not be the best


    one for this job. But I have my own difficulty so I can''t resign now. To be honest, I don''t really want to


    work with Maverick that much."


    Then Everly walked towards the elevator entrance.


    Before going in, herst sentence was, "Assistant Jayden, if possible, can you get my phone from Mr.


    Maverick? It''s not appropriate for me to go to his room by myself."


    After Everly returned to her room, her face darkened.


    She had had enough!


    Everyone suspected that she had her agenda with Maverick.


    Heh, they were thinking the wrong way.


    From the way they interacted with each other, if one of them really had an agenda, it must be Maverick!


    She had never done anything out of line to him, but Maverick ... had even forcefully kissed her!


    Without a cell phone, she could only use the hotelndline to call Hendrix.


    But Hendrix didn''t answer the phone. Everly thought that maybe her brother wouldn''t answer a


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    stranger''s call.


    Then she wanted to call her son, but he was probably at school at the moment.


    Just as Everly was about to spend some time on the materials, thendline in the room rang.


    Everly thought for a moment and picked it up.


    The deep male voice over there did not surprise her at all. "Your phone is with me. There is only one


    room on the VIP floor. Come here."

 Chapter 49 You Got the Nerve to be Angry with Me

    Chapter 49 You Got the Nerve to be Angry with Me


    Everly didn''t know if Jayden had said anything to Maverick.


    However, she still chose to go upstairs because she was really anxious to get her phone back.


    She knew that they had to go out at night. When Maverick came to open the door, his hair was still wet.


    It seemed that he had just finished his shower.


    It was precisely because of this that Everly was sensitively aware of the scent on Maverick when she


    approached.


    It was the smell of sea salt.


    The smell was quite refreshing and unique, easy to be noticed this time. Perhaps it was because he


    didn''t smoke or drink.


    Everly suddenly remembered that she forgot to check what brand of shampoo Maverick used since she


    had clearly taken a picture of it in his office suitest time. However, she had been too busy.


    Everly still had no clue why she was so sensitive to this smell alone.


    The smell was so familiar to her that she knew she had met it before.


    However, she was still unable to figure out what it was.


    Maverick wasn''t in his usual suit. He wore some casual clothes when he opened the door for her. But


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    he said nothing about the phone or inviting her her in.


    Earlier in the car, there was something embarrassing between them. And now ... what did he ask her


    here for?


    Also Everly didn''t want to go in.


    She stood at the door and said awkwardly, "Mr. Maverick, where is my phone? Well, I have a lot of


    materials to readter. And I have to be out with you tonight. I think I need my phone to do that."


    At this time, Maverick had walked into the entrance.


    Everly''s voice wasn''t low. She was sure that Maverick could hear her, so she just held the door with


    one hand, standing there and waiting. She still didn''t want to go in.


    Five minutes has passed and there was still no sign of Maverick. He didn''te out again to give her


    back the phone.


    Everly was a little embarrassed. But she couldn''t shout at the president and ask him to bring out her


    phone, so she finally mustered the courage and set her foot in.


    This room waspletely different from the one she lived in. It was as big as the three rooms


    downstairsbined.


    After Everly entered, she found Maverick sitting behind a table in a room to the side.


    He was concentrated on theputer in front of him. It looked like he was working.


    Everly noticed with her sharp eyes that her cell phone was right next to the man''s hand.


    Thinking for a while, Everly walked to that direction.


    So far she didn''t receive any new orders from Maverick. Now she was really hungry as they left quite


    early. But Maverick had no intention of telling her what to do next, she''d better take her phone back


    first.


    However, her hand was suddenly pressed down by the man.


    His big and warm palm directly pressed down on the back of her hand.


    The feeling of their skin touching made Everly''s heartbeat beat like crazy. What happened before in the


    car immediately shed through her mind.


    Everly wasn''t some teenager girl anymore who didn''t know anything.


    Actually, she should be partly responsible for the situation at that time. The reason that Maverick felt


    something was because of her.


    Even though she acted with a clear conscience in front of Jayden, Everly herself knew very well that


    when she was alone with Maverick, their rtionship was somewhat shady.


    Therefore, she felt a little guilty about the rumors posted on thepany forums.


    Did she like Maverick?!


    No, of course not.


    However, she seemed to be unable to restrain herself every time. Just like now, her heartbeat went


    erratic and her eyes were flinching from his.


    This was something that had never happened before.


    She had a lot of male friends. When she was abroad, her foreign friends were open and often hugged


    her, about which she was never nervous.


    Everly shook off Maverick''s hand as if she had been electrocuted.


    Incidentally, she grabbed her phone and took two steps back.


    " ... If there''s nothing else, I''ll leave first."


    "Are you still angry?" The man behind her suddenly spoke.


    At this moment, Everly''s back was facing him.


    Angry?


    Everly stopped in her track.


    She was still in her morning suit, a shirt. Probably because she had slept all the way, the back of the


    shirt was slightly wrinkled.


    Her long hair was tied up, revealing her delicate and fair-skinned ears. There were a few strands of


    loose hair behind her ears, which rose and fell slightly to the rhythm of breathing.


    It was clearly something about her.


    Something that was sweeping through his heart.


    What kind of magic did she have?


    Maverick''s fingers on the table tightened slightly as if he could still feel the delicacy and softness of the


    back of her hand.


    He swallowed a bit. Gentleman?


    He was just a man.


    ...


    Everly only felt a cold aura approaching her from behind.


    She knew that it was Maverick, so she turned around to ask him what else he needed while still being


    panicking. However, she didn''t expect that the moment she turned around, she fell into the man''s


    chest.


    He had already been standing behind her back closely.


    Everly let out a slight sound and wanted to retreat while Maverick prohibited her.


    Maverick reached out and grabbed her shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Look at me. Now tell me, how


    you got the nerve to be angry with me all day long?"


    Every word he said was clearly pronounced.


    Alone, each of the words was nothing extraordinary. Together, they struck their audience as faintly


    flirtatious and romantic.


    Everly''s heart trembled.


    ''What did he mean by ... confidence?''


    Everly was a little flustered, "I didn''t ... Mr. Maverick, this is inappropriate. Let go of me, please."


    "Answer my question." As she struggled, his grip on her became even stronger, filled with


    possessiveness.


    "I''m your subordinate. We''re on a business trip now..."


    Maverick was still in the same tone, "Then do you think I''m being selfish for my own gain?"


    Everly swallowed her saliva and boldly said, "I think Mr. Maverick should be very clear about this..."


    "I''m not." Maverick''s eyesnded on her tiny earlobe. Seeing how tender and soft it was, he really


    wanted to reach out and rub it.


    As soon as this thought shed through his mind, he lost control and made his move.


    The man''s thumb and index finger reached out, grabbing Everly''s earlobe and rubbing it slightly.


    Everly felt as if she had been struck by an electric current, and her entire body trembled.


    She was a little flustered, but she also raised her head in disbelief.


    At this moment, Maverick reached out and grabbed her waist. He lowered his head and held onto her


    lips. "This is being selfish."


    He ... kissed her...


    Everly felt as if someone had fiercely punched her in the face and she couldn''t tell this kind feeling was


    being painful or numbed.


    Last time in the elevator ... he was also bold enough to kiss her. But it was a quick one, a superficial


    touching of her lips.


    However, this was the first time that he gave her a solid lips-against-lips kiss.


    Unknown to Everly, Maverick had already touched her lips the time she was drunk.


    But that time Maverick still did not pry open her teeth and held her tongue.


    It turned out that it was so soft and sweet.


    This had been a long-drawn and unfulfilled longing lingering in Maverick''s heart.


    His depression of the morning was finally dismissed by this kiss.

 Chapter 50 They Were Sober But Did Something Crazy

    Chapter 50 They Were Sober But Did Something Crazy


    Everly had never been kissed by anyone like this when she was sober. Plus it was a French kiss.


    She was nonplussed.


    She had just rified to others that there was nothing romantic about Maverick and her, but now, they


    were necking.


    She could feel her lips numb while thinking to herself how a p in the face this was.


    Thinking of this, Everly was aware of that she couldn''t continue anymore.


    She couldn''t let Maverick do whatever he wanted and thus she began to resist.


    But it was hard for a woman to win a man in terms of the strength. Maverick''s muscr arm caught a


    hold of her waist, so it was no use struggling.


    Everly even hurt her palms.


    Everly didn''t know what to do. When she was in a trance, Maverick rushed in. He reached out the other


    hand and held the back of her head.


    Maverick moved forward and Everly leaned back.


    Step by step, she leaned against the wall in the end. However, Maverick had already propped her back


    up against his hand to protect her from aching.


    Maverick''s kisses flooded in with aggressiveness. He literally took every opportunity to invade Everly''s


    mouth and drove her senses away.


    At the beginning, Everly could make some noise, butter on, all of her voice was swallowed by the


    man.


    Maverick was like a hungry beast that had just been released from a cage and caught its prey.


    Everly was not a good kisser.


    But she knew that this kiss dripped sexual desires.


    Everly didn''te to her senses even when the doorbell rang. It took about ten seconds for her to


    react. The buzzing sound around her ears faded and she could clearly hear the tinkle of the doorbell.


    Finally, she felt she could take a breath of fresh air which brought her back to her senses.


    Again, Everly took all her strength to push the man away from her.


    Maverick seemed to have calmed down this time.


    Everly seeded. Although she did not push him away after a second try, at least he did not hold her


    so tight anymore and stopped kissing.


    However, Maverick still clung to her body and Everly could even feel his breath.


    Back to her senses, Everly felt more embarrassed than the moment they were kissing.


    They were both sober, but they had done something crazy.


    With his forehead against hers, Maverick breathed in and out, spraying his unique masculine hormone


    onto her face.


    She took a breath but didn''t dare to draw a deep one like him.


    As a result, Everly went short of breath.


    She was annoyed, ''Did he have any idea what he was doing?


    Did he know it was inappropriate for them to be like this?


    Did he really want to sleep with her?''


    " ... You..."


    "Don''t move." Maverick interrupted her while she was ready to speak. It was a husky voice with obvious


    sexual desires. Everly could feel her heart pounding in her chest.


    She didn''t know why, at this moment, it was as if she was controlled. She stood still as she was told.


    Her mind was in a turmoil and she couldn''t find a way out.


    The doorbell rang three times and finally stopped.


    Everly thought that it should be Jayden.


    ...


    They stood in the position for a long time. When Everly felt that her palms started to perspire, she knew


    she had to say something.


    They were adults.


    She actually felt good just now.


    After all, the man who kissed her was Maverick, a handsome and sessful guy.


    Nevertheless, they shouldn''t have done it.


    They were not a couple. He was her boss. They went too far.


    She took efforts to pull herself together and said, "Mr. Maverick, did you ... did you just ... did you..."


    "What?" Maverick looked down at Everly, who was still in his arms.


    For all his look with exhaustion, his eyes were bright and his face blushed. He looked charming.


    In a good mood, Maverick said gently, "It was my fault. I was impulsive. I am so sorry."


    Everly was stunned.


    It was hard to get it.


    She wanted to talk to him about the kiss, but he apologized.


    Impulsive?


    What did he mean by this?


    Everly was bashful, but now she was disappointed.


    Her boss said sorry to kiss her out of impulsiveness.


    She should feel relieved, shouldn''t she?


    But she still considered that it was just a pretext of an asshole.


    Apparently, he took advantage of her.


    "Well, fine."


    Having cursed him in her mind, Everly looked extremely calm. However, anyone could sense a hint of


    sarcasm in her voice. "It doesn''t matter. Anyway, we are grown-ups. It''s fine. I even cried and groaned I


    was having a sex with you as you asked. It is just a kiss this time. It means nothing."


    "What are you talking about?" Maverick was angry at the moment.


    What?


    Was she annoyed?


    It was really so hard to please her!


    Everly pushed him away and strode towards the table beside. She took out two napkins and wiped her


    mouth fiercely in front of Maverick. Then, she threw them into the garbage directly.


    Perhaps bucked up by her own reaction, Everly was more assertive when she talked to him again.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    "I thought you got what I mean. You said you were impulsive to kiss me. Why can''t I say the kiss is


    nothing to me. I was in the United States for years. A kiss on the cheek for me is just etiquette." She


    straightened her back and added, "I am open-minded. I won''t take it too seriously."


    She was about to leave after saying that.


    Maverick looked furious at this moment. It seemed like a storm wasing.


    "Maybe you think you are smart, but in fact you look stupid."


    Everly thought "screw you" in her mind.


    He was taking advantage of her and calling her stupid.


    Her phone rang before she could argued him back.


    The phone call alleviated the tension between them.


    Everly answered the phone without seeing the number on the screen.


    She just wanted to leave this room. Yet Maverick, who was tall, stood right in front of her. She wanted


    to take another look at the number now, but felt that it was not proper because Maverick was staring at


    her. Anyway she felt ufortable to do anything now.


    She simply put it to her ear and said, "Hello?"


    It was a man. Everly didn''t recognize his voice.


    "Everly?"


    "Yes, this is her. Who is this?"


    Everly wasn''t sure who that was, so she took the phone down to see the number.


    It was the man who had been on a blind date with her before.


    Before she could put her phone back to her ear, the man''s voice came from the receiver. "Didn''t you


    save my number? Or did you delete me? I''m Stanley. Are you at leisure? I got two movie tickets for


    today. Would you like to go with me?"


    Maverick was just standing in front of her.


    So he almost heard all of it.

 Chapter 51 Candy Accidentally Took Rat Poison

    Chapter 51 Candy identally Took Rat Poison


    Everly felt flustered for no reason.


    She could feel that the man beside her fell utterly cold and that coldness could freeze her in a second.


    Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly.


    But soon, a voice rang in her heart, "What''s there to be afraid of?"


    "You are just his subordinate."


    He had just told her that the kiss was the result of impulse.


    Thinking about it, Everly said to the man on her phone, "I''m on a business trip now, so I can''t watch the


    movie with you."


    As she spoke, she walked towards the door.


    When her hand touched the handle of the door and was to open it, Maverick pressed it down. Everly


    was stunned and looked at him in confusion.


    When Stanley heard that she was on a business trip, he asked, "Are you on a business trip with


    Maverick?"


    Everly gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."


    Sometimes, she had to suspect that if Stanley worshipped Maverick. Upon mentioning Maverick, he


    would be filled with excitement.


    "Well, then, get back to work. Contact me when youe back, okay?"


    At this time, Everly couldn''t say no, so she agreed, "I have things to do now, so I have to go."


    "Okay. Wish you well. Goodbye."


    Everly put away her phone and looked at Maverick.


    Perhaps it was because she had answered a phone call, the amorousness and embarrassment from


    earlier had almost disappeared by now.


    She pursed her lips and whispered, "Maverick, what do you mean?"


    "The impulse I''m talking about isn''t about me kissing you. It''s about me taking your phone on the


    ne." Maverick''s face darkened. Although he was exining, his tone was a bit annoyed. "But Everly,


    I don''t regret it because I really want to smash your phone. How many men do you have good terms


    with?"


    The impulse he was talking about wasn''t the kiss.


    ...


    Everly was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks quickly burned.


    But now that she had passed that point, she was very calm, and she could think clearly.


    "I don''t care about what happened on the ne, but you should really pay attention to emotion


    management. I''m your secretary, not your scapegoat. Also, I don''t need to report to you about my


    friends, right?"


    She paused for a moment and then quickly said, "But what happened just now... I think it was just an


    impulse. We are single and alone in the same room. We are both adults, and I won''t ... care much


    about it. An exnation will do, I...!"


    Before she could finish, Maverick pulled her into his embrace.


    The strong smell of sea salt from his body covered her face, and she was in a trance again.


    "I will only say this once."


    "I don''t have much time to find an excuse for kissing you, and you don''t have to remind me that you''re


    my subordinate, Everly..."


    He called her by her name.


    His deep and sexy voice was no longer as lustful as before.


    However, for some reason, the word "Everly" would always sound arousing as long as spoken by him.


    He said, "When I look at you, you are just a woman."


    "Think again, and answer my first question. With what dare you y bossy in front of me?"


    ...


    City C.


    When Carolina came out of the vi, a servant followed nervously.


    When she arrived at the garage and opened the car door to enter, the servant hurriedly followed her


    and said, "Miss Carolina, I have to inform Mr. Maverick. After all, it is not a small matter."


    "I told you that I''ll notify him." Carolina couldn''t help but feel annoyed. After mming the car door, she


    thought for a moment and then opened the car window. She said to the servant with a cold face,


    "Before I know what is going on, I will let someone tear your mouth if you dare to tell Maverick. Do you


    understand?"


    The servant was shocked, but she learned that Carolina was not what the outsiders said.


    Things like being sensible, virtuous, and gentle were not hers.


    Maverick had rarely been here, so she was like the hostess and upied this vi.


    She was also domineering towards the servants, but towards Candy, she did not dare to lose her


    temper.


    But this time, Candy had an ident at kindergarten, and Carolina didn''t let her tell Maverick...


    On second thought, perhaps the teacher had gone too far on the phone. Anyway, since Carolina had


    gone to check the situation, the servant thought that she should do her job.


    Carolina had just received a call.


    Candy had an ident at school. She ate something and she was puking and suffering from diarrhea.


    Not many people knew that she was Maverick''s daughter, but the teachers in the kindergarten did.


    When Maverick sent Candy to this kindergarten, he wished to double its area. He had invested a lot of


    money to let Candy live a normal life inside and also to shut teachers up. They mustn''t reveal any


    information about Candy.


    Carolina seldom picked Candy up.


    Actually, she did not understand Maverick''s actions.


    What kind of person was he?


    Even if the rumors said that he was the illegitimate son of the Lamont family, he would never rify


    anything. In fact, he was the real young master of the Lamont family.


    Five years ago, he suddenly had a daughter. After confirming that she was his, he didn''t say anything


    and epted Candy. He included her on the Lamont family''s household register.


    He didn''t even know who the child''s mother was.


    Even though the child was born abroad...


    Therefore, Carolina knew about this matter when Candy was five months old.


    It was clear that Maverick had never intended to hide the existence of Candy from the people around


    him.


    However, he did not announce it, nor did he investigate it.


    What Carolina couldn''t understand was why he did this.


    He was afraid that Candy''s mother would have indiscriminate thoughts towards him?


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    He wasn''t worried, but Carolina was. If his daughter''s mother appeared one day, she would feel


    dangerous as they were connected.


    Therefore, she had investigated it but found nothing.


    She always felt that there was a force behind Maverick.


    Carolina didn''t dare to specte on whether or not he was afraid.


    When she was 15 years old, she nced at him and was determined that she would be Mrs.


    Lamont in this life at a family banquet in the Lamont''s.


    So she was willing to be nice to Candy, and of course, it was the "nice" in her dictionary.


    Carolina didn''t immediately tell Maverick that Candy was sick. After arriving at the kindergarten, she


    found out that Candy vomited very badly. Carolina immediately took her to the hospital for an


    examination.


    The result showed that she identally took some rat poison.

 Chapter 52 The Special Treatment He Had for Her

    Chapter 52 The Special Treatment He Had for Her


    Although it didn''t cause a disaster, it was rat poison, and it might be fatal.


    Not to mention that the target was Candy.


    Carolina panicked.


    She wasn''t stupid. She didn''t let the servant inform Maverick because she felt that she could handle


    such a small matter. If she couldn''t, how would she be Candy''s mother?


    A few years ago, Candy wasn''t just staying in the country. At that time, she spent more time with


    Maverick and there were people responsible for taking care of her when she was abroad.


    Later, because Maverick agreed to give Candy a domestic education, he brought her back.


    So she had the chance to stay by Candy''s side.


    She had been trying to be the best.


    She just wanted Maverick to ept her.


    Now, something like this had happened.


    Carolina thought that someone was either targeting Candy or her.


    Almost immediately, she locked the suspect. She let the hospital and the kindergarten have a news


    ckout and went to find Miley.


    Though without her rtionship with Maverick, the Kahl family was influential in City C. Carolina was


    the eldest young miss and she had the ability to initiate a ckout.


    Carolina suspected Miley.


    Because other than her, no one else would do such a thing.


    Miley probably didn''t know anything about the woman called Everly. Before Carolina could do anything,


    something had happened to Candy. Who else could it be if it wasn''t Miley?


    But why did her sister make a fuss?


    They had always been at odds ever since they were young. If one had something, the other would also


    want it, and they would be jealous of each other.


    So, for the sake of this outstanding man Maverick...


    They were on head-on fighting.


    "Even if you don''t like me, if you want to fight for Maverick, you can''t use Candy." Carolina smashed the


    document in front of Miley. "I''m telling you, I won''t cover this up for you. Do you think Maverick can''t


    find out when he knows about Candy''s suffering?"


    Miley was having a spa at the beauty salon, but Carolina rushed in angrily and threw a diagnosis at her


    face.


    Miley did not panic in the slightest. She patted her cheek with both hands to promote the absorption of


    the skin care product.


    She then looked up at Carolina and sneered, "Carolina, you are really interesting. Look at how nervous


    you are about others'' kid. Isn''t it good for Candy to die?"


    Carolina knew that Miley was impulsive.


    Otherwise, Carolina wouldn''t have told Miley about Everly at that time.


    She did want to use Miley to hurt others.


    But her target was not Candy.


    "Are you crazy? Do you believe that I will record your words and send them to Maverick?"


    "You won''t."


    "Don''t think too highly of yourself."


    "I don''t think highly of myself, but my surname. I think highly of our father. I know you don''t like me and


    don''t want me, but you''re afraid of our father, so you won''t do this." Miley said confidently, "Don''t you


    just think that I am brainless? You want me to deal with Everly so that you can take the benefit?"


    Carolina took a deep breath and pointed at Miley. "I don''t care what you want to do, but I''m telling you,


    don''t cross my bottom line. You''re sick. Do you know what kind of person Maverick is? If you want to


    get yourself killed by offending Candy, fine, but don''t involve our family!"


    "Why being emotional? Who said I offended Candy?" Miley rolled her eyes. "Dad said you''re smarter


    than me? How funny. Why don''t you investigate it? The person who harmed Candy was not me, but


    Everly''s son."


    Carolina was stunned and couldn''t believe it, "You, how did you know that..."


    "Carolina, do you think you are the only one doing the investigation? I learned it from you."


    Actually, Miley was lucky. She bribed Carolina''s driver for the part of Carolina''s investigation, so she


    knew what Carolina had found out immediately.


    Everly was Hendrix''s younger sister. Originally, it would be difficult to deal with her, but Miley didn''t


    expect this woman to have a son.


    She was married to a foreign doctor?


    The child was not a mixed-race at first nce. She didn''t know whose bastard he was, but he definitely


    wasn''t a good boy.


    He was actually in the same kindergarten as Candy?


    Miley believed that Everly approached Maverick with an intention.


    Since Everly had so many thoughts, she might as well help her.


    Miley smiled and said, "Carolina, I will give you a chance to see a good show for free. After all, we


    won''t give an outsider what we can''t get. I know that Everly is Hendrix''s younger sister and is hard to


    deal with, so we can start with the child. Don''t worry, I made it perfectly. This time, Everly can''t conceal


    Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    her intentions. How dare a bitch like her covet Maverick?"


    Carolina saw determination and viciousness in Miley''s eyes.


    She trembled.


    She had always felt that Miley was unscrupulous and brainless.


    But dad did have some preference for her.


    Now that she thought about it, she didn''t seem to know her well.


    At the very least, after she had obtained Everly''s information, she had been wondering where to start.


    While she was hesitating, Miley had started with Candy.


    Miley was more malicious than herself.


    Carolina realized that she could no longer underestimate Miley.


    ...


    The ck curtains were so thick that they blocked the light.


    The room was dark. However, this darkness did not give off much of an oppressive feeling. This was


    because in this pitch-ck environment, there were arousing breathings and moans.


    Everly felt that she was about to die.


    It was like the feeling of drowning.


    She wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she felt something soft getting into her


    mouth and wandering in it.


    It was a disgusting move, but she trembled.


    She could not speak, and she heard a hoarse voice filled with lust, "Do you know now? What are you


    relying on?"


    ...


    Her heart was beating like crazy, making her restless.


    But what was even more terrifying was that she was familiar with the scent containing the smell of sea


    salt from the man. There was also the odor of tobo. The male hormone was about to knock her out.


    Her mind went nk.


    Relying on what...


    The special treatment he had for her?

 Chapter 53 He Is in Her Dreams Whenever She Closes Her Eyes

    Chapter 53 He Is in Her Dreams Whenever She Closes Her Eyes


    The schedule of the business trip was tight.


    To Everly, she was eager to arrive today, deal with those things and return to City C the next day.


    She had always been concerned about her son''s parents'' meeting. After all, this was the first time since


    her son came to this kindergarten. She did not want Edmond to be disappointed.


    However, Maverick did not give an exact time. Moreover, after that kiss, their rtionship caused


    Everly to go crazy.


    After she woke up from that dream, Everly wanted to explode on the spot.


    She reached out and hugged her forehead. Her palms were covered in sweat and she was wet all over.


    Although five years ago, that experience was hard to understand, she knew that she had been


    abnormaltely.


    She had another wet dream.


    And Maverick was in it.


    Not to mention the feelings, his face was in front of her and his hoarse speech made when he was on


    top of her turned her on.


    She felt that she was going crazy.


    When Jayden called her and told her that they would meet in the parking lot half an hourter, Everly


    was seriously considering whether she should continue to stay by Maverick''s side as the so-called


    secretary.


    She didn''t know what Maverick was thinking, but she wasn''t an ignorant child.


    She felt that Maverick was special.


    She was even thinking that if it was another man, would her heart beat violently? Would she elerate


    her breathing and have that man''s face in her dreams?


    Everly shook her head. She wasn''t sure, but she was 80% sure that she would despise that guy.


    Was it just because it was Maverick?


    Because he was such a brilliant man?


    He was in her dreams whenever she closed her eyes.


    But she didn''t dare to tell him.


    And she couldn''t.


    ...


    She felt that she was trapped in a quagmire. She could not stay but should leave.


    Everly washed her face and looked at the time. It was already dusk. She took out her phone. There


    were a few calls from Hendrix.


    Everly drank a mouthful of water and moistened her throat before calling back.


    The call was picked up soon.


    "Everly, you and Maverick are on a business trip?" It seemed that Hendrix already knew.


    "Yes, I''m in Weirdale."


    "Weirdale?" Hendrix thought of something and replied, "Lamont Group has a project in Weirdale. It was


    promoted by Maverick after he took over. There seems to be something wrong with it. At present,


    Maverick may have had a news ckout."


    Hearing this, Everly asked out of curiosity, "Is it serious?"


    "Maverick went there personally. He will definitely be able to handle it." Hendrix said, "It is the Puth


    family''s territory and its second young master is close to Maverick. But why did he bring you there?"


    "I am the secretary." Everly was stunned.


    "There''s no need to bring the secretary along." After Hendrix said this, he did not continue. He only


    asked, "When will you be back? Edmond said that there is a parents'' meeting, and you agreed to go.


    Can you make it?"


    Everly had a headache. "I know. The business trip was decided on an ad hoc basis. I didn''t expect it at


    that time. Where''s Edmond?"


    "I''m not home. Mom insisted on following the driver to pick Edmond up these days. Since you are not


    here, she was the one who drove Edmond this morning."


    "I''ll confirm the time tonight," Everly said, "If I can make it, I''ll definitely hurry back."


    Hendrix received a phone call and only answered perfunctorily. He obviously had something to say, but


    he was hesitant.


    "You have things to do?"


    "It''s about that man five years ago." Hendrix''s words came to a halt. "Forget it. I can''t exin it on the


    phone. I''ll talk to you when you are back."


    When Everly heard him say "five years ago", her heart skipped a beat.


    However, he couldn''t tell a clear story on the phone, and she didn''t have much time.


    After hanging up and tidying up, Everly went to the parking lot.


    While standing in the elevator, Everly was somewhat dazed as she thought of Hendrix''s words.


    "There''s no need to bring the secretary along."


    Her gazended on the face reflected on the interior of the elevator.


    Almost instinctively, she reached out to pinch her face, smiled, and then pursed her lips.


    Actually, she had ordinary facial features, didn''t she?


    Her temperament wasn''t bad, but it wasn''tparable to those richdies''.


    She was indeed good-looking, but she was definitely not the kind that could overwhelm every man in


    the country.


    So, on what?


    Because he was suddenly interested in her?


    After all, rich people''s tastes often changed. They would have a sumptuous meal yesterday but in


    food on the next day.


    Everly sighed. She had to admit that she herself was part of those "in food".


    As soon as the elevator door opened, she gathered herself and walked out.


    Jayden was waiting for her by the car.


    Everly stepped forward and Jayden said to her, "Maverick will bring you over. He will discuss some


    details with the supplier. I have prepared all the documents for you."


    As he spoke, he handed her a blue folder.


    Everly took it and asked, "You are not going?"


    "I have other things to attend to." Jayden nodded and left without turning his head.


    Everly nced at the ck car window, but she couldn''t see anything from outside.


    However, she always felt that Maverick was sitting right there. Even if they were separated by the


    window, she could still feel the pressure brought by him.


    She gripped the folder, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat in.


    As expected, the moment she entered, she felt the oppressive atmosphere.


    Just as the driver was about to start the car, the man sitting behind suddenly said, "Who told you to sit


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    in the front? Sit over here."


    Everly was speechless.


    Just as the driver was about to start the engine, Maverick spoke. He stopped and carefully looked at


    the female secretary in the passenger seat.


    He wasn''t Maverick''s chauffer in City C, so he didn''t know that this secretary had a rtionship with


    Maverick.


    Everly felt a little displeased in her heart. Shouldn''t the secretary be sitting in the passenger seat?


    But when she thought of what he said. On what?


    She wanted to retort, and it was already on her lips yet she held back. She obediently opened the car


    door and replied softly, "Alright, Mr. Maverick."


    Then, she pulled open the door to the back seat and got in.


    Maverick seeded in letting her sit beside him, but he started to feel a little anxious.


    The driver began driving.


    He nced at the woman sitting beside him and coldly curved his lips.


    She was sitting so close to the door. How repulsive was he?


    Just as he was about to say something, he received a call. It was the ringtone set for Candy.


    Maverick''s expression changed slightly. He almost subconsciously turned to look at Everly.

 Chapter 54 Ask Her If He Can Answer the Phone

    Chapter 54 Ask Her If He Can Answer the Phone


    Everly sensed the gaze from Maverick.


    As she turned around, she met his eyes.


    She was a little surprised, but not because of the awkwardness that their eyes met.


    It was the way he looked at her. It was like something she had never seen before.


    It was neither possession, deepness nor coldness. It was ... hesitation.


    The phone in his hand kept ringing, but his eyes were like asking if he could answer the phone.


    Everly thought that maybe she was thinking too much.


    Recently she had been quite abnormal. Why did she keep thinking about these things?


    To Maverick, surely he wouldn''t hang up his daughter''s call.


    Quickly retracted his gaze, he picked up the phone.


    Since the space in the car was limited, even though she couldn''t hear clearly, Everly could vaguely tell


    that the voice was from a girl.


    Having no intention of eavesdropping, she buried herself in the documents when Maverick answered


    the phone.


    She thought that she couldn''t hear what he talked about if she focused on her work.


    However, she still inevitably noticed something. Hearing his voice, Everly paused.


    She could not tell what kind of feeling it was to hear Maverick talking to another girl in such a gentle


    voice.


    Nevertheless, the sense of the unstoppable loss was just too strong that it was unable for her to ignore


    it. It was like her heart to be wrung by a knife.


    She must calm herself down!


    ''Stop it, Everly.''


    ''Maybe he can afford it, but you can''t.''


    "What''s wrong? Why did you change your phone number? ... If it goes well, it will take about two days."


    As Maverick spoke, a girl''s muffled voice came out from his phone.


    At the moment, an idea just hit Everly''s mind. Maverick was engaged with someone from the Kahl


    family!


    Would it be his fianc¨¦e?


    Tightly grabbing the document folder, she was frustrated and found it hard to breathe in such a small


    space.


    Maverick responded in a low voice as he heard of something from the other end of the phone, "I didn''t


    see it, that''s why I missed the call. I''ll find her as soon as I am back. Is she behaving herself? ... OK. I


    gotta go. "


    Maverick hung up the phone as the other end did.


    With her lips slightly pursed, Everly tried her best to restrain her emotion.


    She found herself quite pathetic.


    What the hell was this strange feeling?


    Why did she have such a feeling towards Maverick?


    Could it be that she really had a crush on him during his time after time approaches with unknown


    purpose?


    If that was the case, she must cut it off as soon as possible!


    After that, Maverick did not say anything else. Everly was happy to see that since she really needed to


    focus and take a good look at the data at hand. For now, her priority was to do a good job.


    Hendrix had mentioned that Maverick was here because something had happened.


    After reading the data, Everly came to realize that the problemy in the supply.


    If they did notmunicate properly in time, it would probably hurt Lamont Group''s image, since the


    volume of goods was rtivelyrge. Obviously, someone wanted to make things difficult for him as


    Maverick had just ascended to the top.


    Everly had a rough understanding of what had happened after reading the material carefully. But she


    still had no idea why she was here. As for other procedures likemunication and so on, apparently


    Maverick would do it himself.


    It was said that powerful outsiders could hardly afford to neglect local bullies. Although Lamont Group


    was a famous listedpany, Weirdale was not Maverick''s territory.


    The list of suppliers from Jayden was not easy to deal with.


    Even Maverick came out himself this time, she still had no idea about how far they could go.


    Time was money. The construction needed to be continued. They had no time to waste.


    Their hooliganism was just unfair to the Lamont Group.


    At the time they got off the car, Maverick threw Everly his coat.


    He wasn''t over-dressed up in a formal suit. Leaving the cor unbuttoned, his sexy corboney


    under the grey shirt, with the seductive Adam''s apple bobbed in his throat.


    Standing at the entrance of the clubhouse, he looked down at Everly and said in a low voice, "You don''t


    have to drink. Just follow me and listen to me only no matter what they say. Understood?"


    His words reminded her of the memory that she took his ce on drinkingst time. Speaking of which,


    she could still remember the difort in her stomach, to which he would never do that again.


    While as a matter of fact, he seemed not to be as cruel as he looked. At the very least, he told her not


    to drink.


    She nodded immediately.


    They didn''t know here well as City C. Weirdale was also a big city, but this area wasplicated.


    ording to the data from Jayden, the supplier seemed to have something to do with the Rice family.


    The Rices, the Kahls, the Lamonts, and the Crokes were all wealthy families belonging to the same


    sector in City C.


    It was just that the Lamonts had gained more fame in the past two years.


    The Rice family was the new blood between them. There were many officials in their family, except for


    Den, who went into business and had done quite well in that field.


    Everly only knew a little about these things after she became Maverick''s secretary.


    This time, the supplier seemed to have a connection with the Rice family.


    Following Maverick, she walked into the clubhouse, where she felt extremely strange and cold. She


    was puzzled to have this feeling, maybe it was because they weren''t in City C.


    Led by the waiter, they soon arrived at the private room on the second floor.


    When the door opened, a table full of people was in sight.


    Standing behind Maverick, Everly took a peep at the inside of the room and was shocked at what she


    saw.


    People sitting there were obviously not nice. They all looked tall and big with rascal temperament.


    In total, they were more like gang members.


    She wasn''t sure why Maverick woulde to such an asion personally.


    His appearance in such a ce was just like a square peg in a round hole.


    Perhaps Everly did not even realize it. No matter how sheined about Maverick, her first


    impression of him was deeply ingrained.


    The Maverick she knew was themander who always dressed in formal and stood high above the


    masses, one would never frown no matter what happened.


    Someone burst intoughter, which was as ear-piercing as if a chair shing across the floor.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Mr. Maverick, it''s a great pleasure to meet you! I didn''t expect to see you in person. Come on, take a


    seat!"


    What a hooligan!

 Chapter 55 I Am Very Protective

    Chapter 55 I Am Very Protective


    Everly could tell that the dinner tonight was more or less up to no good.


    There must be a reason for Mavericking here with willingness.


    Sometimes, she did not even realize that although she had only known this man for less than a month,


    his way of doing things and the boldness of vision were quite to her liking.


    For example, right now, if it was someone else, she would probably be scared.


    They were just discussing business, but these people were like going to war. Their eyes were filled with


    contempt and fierceness. As a girl, how could she not be afraid?


    However, with Maverick right beside her, she felt inexplicably calm.


    The man in chief was sitting right in the center. With the bald head and the loose suit pants he wearing,


    the fat on his waist was exposed once he stood up. The suit on him was just out of ce.


    "Mr. Maverick,e here, take a seat."


    He said politely, but his tone wasn''t so polite.


    The expression on Maverick''s face did not change at all. He walked over and sat down, letting Everly


    sit beside him.


    She still had his suit jacket held in both her arms.


    With Maverick around, she would only be seen as an assistant or something like that and these people


    wouldn''t ce eyes on her right the first time.


    Smart as she did, Everly could tell something from the scene.


    This bald guy who looked like a ruffian was the leader. There might be someone behind him since he


    was acting so arrogant. Would it be the Rice family?


    Maverick didn''t seem to be scared of the Rice family. He must have weighed all the interests before he


    came here today.


    What she thought was exactly correct.


    But Maverick had his measurement.


    As for why she came with him, she couldn''t figure out why.


    Maverick didn''t want to waste much time in such a ce. He just came here for a formality. As


    someone wanted to see him do this, he could cooperate.


    After all, he couldn''t go too far in many things since he hadn''t got what he wanted.


    Seeing him sping his fingers against the wall of the cup, the bald guy paused as he was about to


    pour the wine for him.


    Maverick didn''t have many expressions on his face since he came in. Only then did he slowly raise his


    head. Having cast an indifferent nce at the bald, he said as if something had juste to his mind,


    "Mr... Chace, right?"


    "Mr. Maverick, my surname is Sumner, Chace Sumner. Something''s wrong indeed. I''m sorry to have


    youe in person this time." Chace nodded with a smile.


    Maverick rubbed his long finger on the rim of the cup and said in a deep voice, "It is true that business


    has give-and-take. We all should take responsibility if things go wrong. Mr. Sumner, just say it if you


    have any requests."


    Chace chuckled, "Mr. Maverick, I believe two percentage is far too less than you care."


    "The more I care about money, the richer I am. Isn''t it?"


    "Hey,e on. Back then, when we signed the contract, the price was rtively low. Right? But the


    price increased a lot in the past two years. It''s not easy for us though."


    "It doesn''t mean that you can break the rules."


    "Mr. Maverick, rules can be properly amended. Besides, you should know that in the entire Weirdale,


    only I, have so many goods."


    Maverick sneered, "Mr. Sumner, I know where you are from. But as for now, you are something of a


    celebrity. It is not very nice of you to act like this."


    That really wasn''t a polite manner of speaking.


    Everly was amazed hearing these. Obviously, Maverick did not treat this person as a real opponent


    from the beginning. Every word from him was just impolite.


    Especially thest sentence.


    Not surprisingly, Chace''s face changed.


    Others at the table began to mor.


    "What the fuck are you talking about? Don''t you dare talk to my boss like this! You are in Weirdale, not


    at home. We can totally take you down without a sound!" said some with ill-temper.


    Everly couldn''t help shrink her neck. In such cases, she instinctively approached Maverick.


    Damn, these people were so scary.


    She knew that she needed to be wise and make herself safe since those people were acting like they


    would bite her or something. Under such circumstances, the best way was to stay close to Maverick.


    However, hearing them talking like that, Maverick just kept his countenance.


    He didn''t even take a look at the person who had spoken so fiercely.


    At this time, someone turned to Everly and said, "And you brought a fucking girl here? Are you looking


    down on us? Or she''s the gift to Mr. Chace?"


    The others burst intoughter.


    "She looks pretty good. Mr. Chace is so lucky! Mr. Maverick wanted to share his girlfriend with our


    boss!"


    "Mr. Maverick has said that business has give-and-take. We are all candid people and we don''t know


    the twists and turns. But we know what kind of business is worth doing."


    "Mr. Maverick, and you?"


    Maverick said nothing.


    Those people began toughsciviously.


    Everly was dumbfounded.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    When she finally realized that she had been humiliated by words, her face was went red with anger.


    Beneath the table, Maverick pinched her hand gently.


    Everly froze for a moment before she subconsciously raised her head and bumped into Maverick''s


    deep eyes.


    His expression was faint, but his eyes were very bright.


    She could tell that he was trying to tell her not to be afraid. She had to do nothing, just to believe him.


    Her heart was miraculously calmed by the action.


    For the first time, she did not break free as Maverick pinched her hand. His palm was hot and dry


    meantime a little rough. The heat from his hand was constantly flowing in, making her feel even more


    at ease.


    She thought that he would never let them say that without a cost. They were humiliating both of them.


    He remained silent for a moment. Sitting as stable as a mountain, he was like a king on the throne.


    As a matter of fact, he was by no means in the same ss as these gangsters. If he was like a


    sovereign, then these people wouldn''t even make the cut to stand in front of him.


    Everly saw him lit a cigarette.


    With his long legs slightly crossed, he narrowed his eyes and took a drag on his cigarette. He held the


    jacket in his arm, leaving the cor of his shirt unbuttoned. Only then did Everly feel that behind the evil


    charm on this man was ruthlessness.


    Everly remembered what Hendrix had said to her all out of a sudden--


    "Don''t provoke Maverick."


    "Why?"


    "Too ruthless."


    "To what extent?"


    --


    "In business, it''s not the level of education that matters. Most of the time, you need to have the


    discernment."


    After smoking for a few rounds, Maverick knocked on the table twice, with the cigarette remained in his


    hand. He said in an indifferent but incisive tone, "You haven''t heard of me before? I am very


    protective."

 Chapter 56 Well, Its Up to You

    Chapter 56 Well, It''s Up to You


    Everly froze and looked at Maverick in surprise.


    Was he saying this because of her?


    Although these people''s words made her a little angry, she didn''t expect that he would put her in front.


    Chace was also dumbfounded for a moment.


    Maverick had a strong aura. Even if they were just rough fellows, they could still feel it.


    Even so, he was just obeying orders from Mr. Den.


    He should give him a lesson.


    No matter how great Lamont Group was in City C, in Weirdale, they should be obedient! Previously,


    when they first came to Weirdale, they aimed at thend in the north, where they nned to build a


    resort.


    While Chace was the local know-it-all. Most often, social connections were necessary when it came to


    doing business.


    Plus he had the Rice family behind him. In no way could Maverick get what he wanted easily.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Someone wanted to see him stumble.


    He should learn that when it came to doing business, there was an order. Outsides had to show


    respect to the locals.


    In fact, Maverick was like the airborne force to the entire domestic businessmunity for the past two


    years. He had made great achievements abroad, but as for the old fogeys in the domestic business, no


    one would believe that his ways of doing business abroad would also work in the domestic.


    "Mr. Maverick, since you know that connections are important in business, undoubtedly you understand


    that all kinds of rtionships are intricate. You do others a favor today, they will pay you back in the


    future."


    Chace remained unconscious about the situation and thought that he was in control of everything. He


    kept being arrogant when he spoke, "My fellows are ineloquent. You can just ignore them. And she''s


    right beside you safe and sound, right? You are not going to be as stupid as letting the girl ruin the


    business, aren''t you?"


    With these words, he was taunting Maverick tantly.


    Everly felt very ufortable listening to these.


    However, neither Maverick''s face changed nor did he say anything at the moment.


    He held the rest half of the cigarette between his fingers and smoked most of it quietly. For the


    remaining one-third, he left it unfinished, as he always did.


    Then he directly crushed it and threw it on the bone te beside him.


    He didn''t even take the slightest nce at Chace.


    The others at the table were fidgeting since they thought that Maverick was way too putting on airs.


    Maverick kept pinching Everly''s hand gently, to which he enjoyed very much obviously. She looked so


    obedient and soft that he couldn''t take his eyes off of her.


    The girl was slightly shocked.


    The way he looked at her was very possessive.


    What the hell was he doing?


    Everly knew that he wouldn''t allow these people to act like that without a cost, even at the very least.


    After another silence of fewer than two minutes, someone finally lost their patience.


    As Maverick knew that they arranged this dinner for a purpose, he still didn''t hold back a little and fired


    on full power. Someone standing next to Chace, which probably had a good rtionship with him,


    whispered into his ear all of a sudden.


    Chace frowned. He had the body of a man and the mind of a child.


    He seemed to agree with what the man said.


    "Maverick, cards on the table. Since you''vee to Weirdale in person, I am going to teach you a


    lesson tonight. Your projects are all up to me. I am the one to call the shots. And all the suppliers are at


    my disposal. If you want them, just make me your best apology, or you may not be able to walk out of


    this door," Chace smote the table and said. The simper on his face was long gone as if it didn''t even


    appear.


    Everly was astonished. How could someone be so arrogant and high-handed when doing business in


    the civilized world?


    However, Maverick did not pay attention to him at all and moreover, he didn''t even look at him.


    He turned to Everly and saw the expression on her face changed. It was not difficult for him to figure


    out what she thought from her face.


    After all, she was young.


    He brought her to the first dinner party because he wanted her to gain more experience.


    Of course, he also wanted her to know more about the real Maverick.


    "What do you think?" He suddenly opened his mouth and inquired in a low voice. The simple words


    were totally different from the sarcasm and coldness just now as if he was really asking.


    But the person he inquired was Everly.


    She felt that there was hot air haunting her ear. It was him talking to her.


    She blinked, "What?"


    "Does he make sense?" Maverick still spoke in that tone, as if he didn''t understand what he should do


    for real and was asking her opinion about it.


    Everly twitched her lips slightly and thought that such kind of question ... It seemed that she was not


    the right one to answer it.


    However, he looked extremely serious with his eyes fixed on her.


    "Huh?" He kept rubbing the back of her hand again and again, "Say whatever you want. Just tell me."


    In his bright eyes, she saw herself.


    They were like mirrors that with them, she could see through him meantime have a direct vision on


    herself.


    At this moment, she seemed to have been bewitched.


    " ... I don''t think they are making sense. They are like robbers. Plus I don''t think you need toe


    personally for this. Actually..."


    "Motherfucker, what the hell are you talking about?!"


    Everly''s words were interrupted by a man in the room. He was irritated to discover that this girl was


    seeing his boss as less important than that toy boy Maverick!


    Didn''t need toe personally? They didn''t make sense?


    Everly was stiffened by the mor.


    Maverick immediately threw a cold nce at him. The man who was just yelling subconsciously


    trembled--


    While Maverick kept pinching her fingers as he looked down at her again. At the same time, he raised


    his eyebrows, "Well, it''s up to you."


    The gentle words were filled with indulgence if carefully distinguished.


    Maverick looked up again and tapped his phone before he threw it onto the table. He put on an


    indifferent face and his eyes were like covering with coldness.


    "This is the end of the farce. There are plenty of suppliers that want to do business with Lamont Group.


    How about listening to this?"


    Then, a sharp cry came from the speaker, along with the sound simr to the wailing of the police siren-


    -


    On the other side of the phone was clearly in chaos, but they could vaguely hear someone shouting,


    "The warehouse is on fire. Where''s Mr. Chace? Tell him right now. Damn it, the police areing. Stop


    them, or we''ll stay in prison for the rest of our lives ..."


    Then the sound from the phone became unclear.


    After a while, it came Jayden''s voice.


    He said respectfully, "Mr. Maverick, everything is done."


    Maverick brushed the wall of the cup casually with his slender fingers. As he pursed the thin lips


    slightly, seemingly he was about to hang up the phone. But he didn''t. He said to Jayden as if something


    had juste to his mind, "Bring a few people here."


    At this time, Chace''s face turned deathly pale.


    He stood up suddenly and said with disbelief, "Holy shit, you are destroying my business at my ce!


    You''re obviously tired of living! The Rices won''t touch you, but I will! You are already here. And never


    expect to get out of here alive."


    He seemed to be really mad.


    Of course, he had no idea about what Jayden said from the other side of the phone.


    Foamed with rage, he shed down the table with his palm.


    Therefore it was instantly torn apart.


    Everly was just sitting next to him. What he did scared her into a scream.


    In the next second, a familiar masculine scent caught her smell.


    He whispered in her ear, "Don''t be afraid."

 Chapter 57 If Youre Not Blind, You Can Tell She Is My Girlfriend

    Chapter 57 If You''re Not Blind, You Can Tell She Is My Girlfriend


    Don''t be afraid.


    These simple words were like magic at the moment. They pierced through the eardrums and hit


    Everly''s heart directly.


    Right, the nerve endings as well. Every cell in her body seemed to have beenforted.


    As a matter of fact, she hadn''t met with many things that she could handle since she was born.


    Including being cheated, getting drunk and having a one-night stand, and then getting pregnant...


    She might be a little panicked at the very beginning, but she could calm down very quickly.


    She could make up her mind and confirmed that she wanted that child.


    Of course, it was Hendrix that had been always protecting her all these years.


    But now, Maverick was standing beside her as a protector. Thinking of this, Everly didn''t know what to


    do.


    She gradually came to realize why he would bring her to this dinner.


    Not many people knew what kind of man he was.


    By doing this, he was showing her the real Maverick?


    But she never thought of this. She didn''t even think about the possibility that they could be together.


    After beingforted, her heart started beating fast again.


    She wasn''t scared, but she was also scared.


    She struggled for a moment, wanting to push Maverick away. He could feel the dodging from her eyes.


    Smart as he was, he knew what that meant.


    But who was he?


    It was Maverick Lamont we were talking about.


    The things he decided would never have a chance to change. He would definitely get what he wanted.


    Since he had brought her here today, he would not give her the chance to retreat, nor would he allow


    her to do so.


    His eyes lit up as he stretched out his hand and grabbed her shoulder. Even though the surroundings


    were bustling with noise, his eyes seemed to only be able to see her.


    "You can''t hide now."


    Hearing this, Everly panicked, " ... I don''t know what you''re talking about, Mr. Maverick, you ... things


    here..."


    "Don''t worry about others. Just look at me."


    Everly couldn''t say a word.


    Maverick sneered when he saw that she was unwilling to look at him again.


    What he wanted was basically in hand. He didn''t want to stay in this dirty ce anymore. With Everly in


    his arm, he stood up directly.


    Along with his movement, Everly had to stand up unsteadily. She was almost lifted all by him.


    She was wearing high heels. Even though it was not high enough, she still staggered.


    Her body leaned against Maverick subconsciously.


    His scorching chest was just right next to her ear, which had broiled her entire body. She had never


    thought that she would be working like this.


    She was a little panicked, and at the same time confused.


    Never had she met with this before, she tended to reject it deep in her heart.


    They were not in the same world. She did not even know much about him. Moreover, her situation was


    different from that of an ordinary girl. How was it possible for a lofty man to ept a girl who already


    had a marriage and a five-year-old child?


    People should admit that some girls were rational at the critical moment.


    What she was considering were not the momentary emotion, romance, or ambiguity in front of her...


    It was the future.


    But where was the future ... between them?


    Everly didn''t even dare to think about it. The first reaction she had was to resist.


    Chace had never been humiliated like this before. Maverick ruined his base without a sound and now


    he was even flirting with his little secretary in front of him.


    Was he seeing him as a nobody?


    Mr. Den had instructed him that he could teach Maverick a lesson but not to hurt him. However, this


    son of a bitch had gone too far. He just couldn''t stand it.


    Seeing that Maverick was about to leave with Everly in his arms, he immediately winked.


    They actually came out with weapons.


    Chace put his hands in the pockets and unsurprisingly saw dozens of fellows blocking the door with


    either knives or guns.


    He stepped forward and pointed at the gun his people holding and teased, "Maverick, have you seen


    this before? You''re still too young for the business world. Never expect to leave this room safe and


    sound today."


    Having a look at the ck muzzle of the guns, Everly froze.


    She said nothing.


    Even in the United States, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.


    Chace had gone too far.


    Were these people risking their lives?


    Instead of another move, she stretched out her hand to drag Maverick''s shirt tightly, almost instinctively.


    Maverick was just about to say something before he got to feel that Everly was leaning against him


    subconsciously. The feeling of beingpletely relied on brought him great pleasure and thus he bit


    back the words.


    Nevertheless, this ce was too dangerous for them to stay any longer.


    He only dialed a number and didn''t say a word. In just ten seconds, a loud bang came from the door


    which was then pushed open forcefully.


    Obviously, Chace had arranged quite a few people at the entrance, but at this moment, it was the


    police who rushed in. They were holding guns in their hands and shouting at the people inside--


    "Don''t move!"


    Maverick remained indifferent on his face while Chace was somewhat stunned.

    He didn''t expect things to be like this. This seemed to be nothing but a very simple n. Now that he


    thought about it, he realized that Maverick was counterplotting in his own game.


    Maverick was provoking them to bring out the weapons so that the police could catch him red-handed.


    In such cases, he would definitely not get off while Maverick could escape unscathed on the contrary.


    And all of this just took ce in an hour.


    Slightly adjusted the cor of the shirt, Maverick walked to the door without any obstruction meanwhile


    had quick eye contact with the man leading the team.


    Everly followed him out, together with her gaze on Maverick.


    If we say Chace was dumbfounded now, Everly was no better.


    To her, what happened just now was like riding a roller coaster.


    It was by then did she found that the leading police was ''a walking hormone''. That he was as tall as


    Maverick with a well-featured face and a buzz cut.


    Probably the only difference was that this man looked a little rougher.


    But it was not hard to tell that he shared an extraordinary rtionship with Maverick.


    As expected, the man left the room with Maverick after all the gangsters were controlled.


    With Everly still standing aside, Maverick said, "I need some of them."


    Lawrence paused and tittered, "What? This goes against the rules, Maverick."


    "You are talking about rules?"


    "Yeah, why not?" Lawrence taunted, "I am formal police now, okay? Don''t make it difficult for me."


    "I won''t cause any trouble or what, but some of them need to be taken ''good'' care of."


    Lawrence raised his eyebrows and said, "Damn, what did they do to you? Look at you. "


    "Nothing, just being impolite."


    By then, Everly seemed to have understood something gradually, but her heart was still beating


    irregrly that she didn''t deeply about it.


    Seeing Everly standing beside Maverick, Lawrence said with yfulness, "Alright, I got you. I''ll take


    good care of them as you wish."


    Everly kept the silence.


    "Who is this girl?" Lawrence''s gaze fell on her bluntly and put Everly at a loss.


    She just thought maybe she should introduce herself.


    At this time, Maverick hugged her shoulder and said, "If you are not blind, you can tell."


    "She is my girlfriend."


    Everly fell silent again.

    City C.


    The Rice''s mansion.


    Even though the mansion of the Rice family was in the ss with the Lamont''s, it was also located in


    the prime area of the city. It was priceless in terms of the current market price.


    However, this area was not Den''s favorite.


    He firmly believed in geomantic omen. Previously, a geomancer had told him in private that this


    mansion did not do good to him.


    Where was the best ce?


    The Lamont''s mansion.


    Den always thought that one day, he would be the owner of that mansion.


    Den was already in his early 50s this year.


    But he was the youngest among them. Even now, as Will and Jenson were already semi-retired, he


    was still working on the frontlines.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    This was all because of his indomitable spirit. Naturally, he was unwilling to surrender to Maverick.


    Back then, when he was struggling with Will, Maverick wasn''t even one of the Lamonts. But now, this


    suckling was not only suppressing his business but also stealing his things halfway on purpose.


    What a good boy!


    Now that he came to Weirdale, he just got into a fight with them directly.


    After Den heard about the reports on the phone, he threw it away.


    Damn it, he had underestimated Maverick.


    Fine.


    This man knew how to borrow water to sail a boat.


    Pretended to be unprepared and went to the dinner directly, he had someone mopped up Chace''s base


    secretly.


    Of course, it was not that Maverick''s appearance at the dinner that gained Den''s trust, but that he


    had rushed directly to Weirdale at the first possible moment. It was even an early flight.


    He told Jayden to contact Chace for the very first time.


    He counted every minute as if he was telling everyone who was paying close attention to this that he


    was worried from the moment it happened.


    He acted like he was deeply concerned about this supply source and that his throat was clutched.


    While most ironically, he was just offering cooperation in a show. Under the table, he had already found


    a way out effortless.


    Den was originally nning to teach Maverick a lesson. Back then, he had hinted to this guy that he


    wanted to take the LAL branch.


    If the Lamonts wanted LAL, they could just tell him.


    He had lost arge amount of money because of Maverick, who had said nothing but cut off his project


    halfway.


    Except for the money, he was also mad at feeling embarrassed.


    People were watching!


    He was humiliated by a junior! He just couldn''t ept it.


    But now looking back, everything he had done was more like a clown in Maverick''s eyes. This man


    actually made him a fool again and again!


    The more Den thought about it, the more he hated it. He just couldn''t let go. He would not leave the


    matter at that.


    Walking around the room, his eyes turned cold as he finally thought of something.


    Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.


    ...


    To Everly, it had been like a dream in the past two days.


    Last night, it was Maverick who brought her back to the hotel. She was a little dumbfounded all the


    way.


    What had happened was way too much for her to think it over. What exactly was the specific meaning


    of it?


    Even then, she could still figure out something. She was more or less clear that Maverick should have


    stalled for a bit yesterday. In the end, he had turned things over and handed those people to the police.


    It seemed that he was well-prepared, but the data had shown that as for the suppliers, they followed


    Chace''s lead indeed.


    What about the project? He was not worried?


    As they went back to the hotel at night, Maverick didn''t say anything. After telling her not to go out in


    the evening, he disappeared as if he had something else to do.


    Tired as she was, she didn''t go to sleep when she got back to the hotel room. Instead, she took a bath


    before checking on some information about Mr. Den, the one they talked about in the private room.


    Later she fell asleep on the desk and it was already midnight when she woke up.


    She picked up the phone and found that there were a few missed calls.


    Some belonged to Hendrix, while the other was Edmond''s.


    Everly frowned. Not knowing why, she felt somehow unsettled. She definitely wouldn''t be able to go to


    the parent-teacher meeting in time. She sent a message to Hendrix since it was obviously improper to


    call back at midnight. Then she went to bed after a small tidying up.


    It was the phone that woke her up again.


    Everly answered the phone with a drowsy look when Hendrix called. She muffled, "Hendrix, what''s up


    so early?"


    It was just past seven as she took a nce at the clock just now.


    Hendrix sighed slightly and said in a heavy tone, "Everly, how are things going?"


    Before Everly could reply, he quickly continued, "You need toe back no matter what. Something


    has happened to Edmond."


    Everly''s heart sunk. Hendrix wouldn''t say so for no reason. In other words, if it was just a small


    problem, he wouldn''t call her so early in the morning.


    Everly suddenly became conscious.


    "What is it?"


    --


    At the same time.


    City C, Kahl''s Mansion.


    At the breakfast time, all the Kahls were here.


    It was surprising that Miley, the bad-tempered andzy little sister in the Kahl n, was at the table


    today. Probably knew that Jenson was at home, she came down early for breakfast.


    Carolina also happened to stay at the Kahl''s mansion yesterday.


    Jenson flipped through the newspaper and turned to Carolina as he thought of something, "Have you


    seen Mavericktely?"


    Carolina tightened her grip on the cup and shook her head, "Dad, he is probably going on a business


    trip recently."


    "Probably?" Jenson sneered, "You''re such an interesting fianc¨¦e."


    Carolina''s face stiffened.


    Miley coquettishly changed her posture and sneered like her father, "Dad, everybody knows she has


    always been like this. Take it easy, you have me."


    "You?" Jenson nced sideways at his younger daughter and said angrily, "Can you give it a rest?


    Stop the stupid quarrel with each other, OK? A woman is circling around Mavericktely. Do you know


    who she is? I need you to team up and deal with it first. You have only two months. If you can''t handle


    it, don''t bring up the marriage with the Lamonts again. Don''t forget that they are not the only wealthy


    ns in City C. Yesterday Den had contacted me. His son ising back from abroad. "


    Den''s son?


    Miley and Carolina finally became unanimous to each other, on changing the face.

 Chapter 59 Its a Girl

    Chapter 59 It''s a Girl


    After breakfast, Jenson went to work with his briefcase.


    Carolina had no appetite. After Jenson left, she prepared to go to the hospital.


    Candy was still in the hospital. There had been no news from Mavericktely. Yesterday, she tried to


    contact him but he was unconnected. She knew that Maverick had been fooling around with the


    secretary recently. He told her he was on a business trip, but who knew what he was doing.


    She had someone follow him to Weirdale but didn''t hear anything from him afterward.


    Since Carolina had been together with Maverick for so many years, she knew it might be true that


    Maverick wasn''t in the country as he often went to Italy and out of contact.


    Thinking of this, Carolina was somewhat disappointed.


    After so many years, she thought she had known Maverick the best. But she was wrong.


    She was taking good care of Candy, but what was the use of that?


    When she saw him being gentle to Candy, it made her believe that she would be able to seize his heart


    as long as she had Candy with her. But when he cut off contact with everyone in the country, she knew


    that he was a cruel man who would be willing to lose anyone even Candy.


    Who would believe that such a cold-blooded man suddenly had a female secretary?


    Just the mere thought of that made Carolina feel hatred instead of sorrow.


    It was Everly!


    "Seriously, don''t you feel aggrieved? Let me make myself clear first. I won''t marry the dude from the


    Rice family! If you can''t handle Maverick, leave him to me."


    Miley raised her eyebrows and walked over. She might probably have guessed what Carolina was


    thinking about, so she provoked her intentionally. "Everyone thinks you''re Maverick''s fianc¨¦e, but you


    know it very well. You don''t even know what your fianc¨¦ is thinking. You don''t even dare to mess with


    his secretary."


    Carolina became angrier as what Miley had said was right.


    However, unlike Miley, she could stay calm.


    She could stay expressionless even if her heart was churning with rage.


    "You''re so capable, and you''re even using Candy. If anything happens, I won''t help you to carry it."


    "You''re so anxious for something to happen to me. I won''t count on you to carry anything for me." Miley


    shrugged her shoulders in disapproval. "But it''s fine. I''m generous and don''t fuss about it with you.


    What our father said makes sense. Are you going to have something to do with Candy? Don''t forget


    that our father is a man who will go to any lengths."


    Carolina nced at Miley.


    The truth was that Miley and Jenson were more alike. Speaking of being unscrupulous, Miley was more


    than Carolina.


    However, Carolina was a deep person who hid all her evil thoughts in her heart. Miley was different


    who would show all her emotions.


    She was extremely arrogant and reckless.


    Carolina asked Miley as she suddenly thought of something, "Did you do something to Candy?"


    Miley raised her eyebrows. There must be something she needed Carolina''s cooperation. Otherwise,


    she wouldn''t be so thorough. "Just watch a good show. Also, don''t talk too much when the timees.


    If you don''t want anything to happen to our family, then follow my instructions."


    Carolina snorted, but she partly agreed with what Miley had said.


    She knew Miley was right. She hadn''t received any response from Maverick although she had done


    everything she could. She was kind to Candy, but Candy always talked about Ms. Everly. She knew it


    was Everly Farley.


    She had been taking care of Candy for many years, but she didn''t expect that Candy could be so


    ungrateful.


    ''Forget it. Why do I take it seriously?'' she thought.


    People needed to be taught to grow up. She had to go through something to know who could win her


    trust.


    ...


    Everly got off the ne with a haggard expression on her face.


    She didn''t have a good rest. She wasn''t sure if things happened in Weirdale had an end. She could


    only hand some work over to Jayden as she couldn''t contact Maverick.


    Jayden didn''t tell her where Maverick was. But Jayden knew that Everly had a son.


    Everly told Jayden that she had to go back to City C for something had happened to her son. Jayden


    agreed with that.


    When she walked out of the airport, she felt it was colder in City C. so she pulled up the cor.


    It was raining, and the air smelt damp.


    Everly stopped a taxi and went straight to the hospital with pain in her temples.


    Along the way, what was echoing in her head was what Hendrix had told her.


    "Something had happened to Edmond."


    "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s said that he identally ate rat poison at school. It''s not very serious, and he also had his stomach


    washed. More importantly, it involved another child. You need toe back, and I''ll exin it to you in


    detail."


    ...


    Everly turned her head to look at the scenery flying past outside the window. She was anxious.


    Back in the days when she was in America, she reflected on herself when Edmond asionally felt


    ufortable. She often wished she could quit her job and devote herself to her son.


    But how would she be the breadwinner if she didn''t have a job?


    More often than not, she also wondered if she should find the biological father of Edmond, or marry


    another man to support her family.


    Edmond was considerate, but deep in his heart, he was also eager to have a father to love him.


    ''identally ate rat poison?''


    Thinking of this, Everly''s heart beat faster. She became more uneasy.


    After half an hour, she finally arrived at the hospital. After confirming the ward number with Hendrix,


    she immediately ran to the ward.


    Hendrix was in the ward, two ck-clothed bodyguards standing at the door.


    This was the first time Everly had truly experienced that Hendrix was different from before. He was now


    also a ruler standing at the top of the pyramid.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    When Hendrix saw Everly running over, he stood up and apologized to her, "It''s my fault. I''ve been


    busytely, and you''re not at home. Mom has been worried since Dad underwent heart bypass surgery,


    so no one could pay close attention to Edmond. But don''t worry, he''s fine now."


    Everly''s heart was still beating fast. She nced at her sleeping son on the bed, and her eyes couldn''t


    help but turn red.


    With her brother around, she didn''t have to restrain her emotions.


    She lumped in her throat. "Hendrix, it''s not your fault. It''s mine. I''m not a qualified mother."


    "Don''t me yourself. No one wants this. You''ve already done a good job."


    Everly sniffed. "Tell me everything."


    "Edmond didn''t get along with his ssmates. I have sent someone to get the security footage. I felt


    that he was set up. They told me that Edmond gave the water with rat poison to a kid and caused the


    kid to ill. The school kept it under control. Later Edmond was excluded by other kids. To prove he was


    innocent, he drank the water he gave the kid the other day. Only then did I know it."


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat as she heard what Hendrix said.


    ''They''re only five years old, and they already have groups?'' she wondered.


    Edmond was a transfer student, so it would be understandable that he didn''t get along with his


    ssmates. But she would never believe that Edmond had poisoned other kids.


    "Who is the kid? Is there any other problem? Is he or she also in this hospital?"


    The kids in the Crane Kindergarten either came from powerful or rich families.


    Everly always felt that this matter shouldn''t be as simple as it looked.


    "I don''t know which hospital it is, but it''s a girl," Hendrix said.

 Chapter 60 I Dont Do This to My Secretary

    Chapter 60 I Don''t Do This to My Secretary


    What did the five-year-old kids know?


    The so-called exclusion or malicious spection was only the most direct way after they heard the


    rumors.


    Edmond had always gotten along with Candy.


    Everly didn''t know but Edmond knew it well that Candy had a handsome father. Candy told him that


    she didn''t have a mother nor father. They all felt that they could stay with their parents.


    Candy liked to be with Edmond.


    The kids in the kindergarten didn''t know Candy was the daughter of Maverick, but the teachers knew.


    They had been told by Carolina that if something happened to Candy, they must inform her.


    The teachers and the dean could dare to offend the Lamont family or the Kahl family.


    After some days'' observation, they found that Edmond was something.


    He made Candy defend him in everything.


    Candy behaved well in kindergarten. Some kids didn''t like Edmond as he was a transfer student.


    In such a kindergarten, the kids all came from either powerful or rich families.


    It seemed that no one knew about Edmond''s family background. But the kids were shrewd. They could


    guess a kid''s background by seeing what his parents looked like or what kind of cars they drove.


    Edmond was unwilling to talk to those kids.


    He had always been arrogant from a young age, and it was precisely because of the arrogance that he


    seemed to be less sociable.


    When the incident happened, the teacher said that Candy took Edmond''s cup to drink water. Later she


    said that Candy identally ate rat poison, vomited, and was sent to the hospital. It scared Carolina so


    much.


    However, Carolina told the school to keep it quiet before they investigated what was going on exactly.


    Therefore, it was dyed two days, and the teachers med it on Edmond.


    As he didn''t get along with the kids, the teachers thought that he was gloomy, and it was most likely


    that he would do such a thing.


    No one cared where the rat poison came from.


    How could a kid know that?


    Now that something happened to Candy, the kindergarten immediately found a scapegoat as they


    dared to offend the Lamont family or the Kahl family.


    Therefore, in the afternoon the next day, Edmond was "convicted".


    Everly was in Weirdale and knew nothing about it.


    Her son was deemed to be gloomy and have an anti-social personality or something like that.


    Edmond was a strong boy. Although he hadn''t lived with his father since he was born, when he was in


    America, when the kids taller than him mocked him for not having a father, he could clench his teeth


    and pouched them to shut up. But now...


    He clenched his fists. Thinking about Candy''s big eyes and the pain she was suffering, he decided to


    take the so-called "evidence of a crime" in his hand and drank the water.


    "I didn''t do it," he said to the teacher word by word, "Candy is my best friend, and I won''t hurt her! If you


    don''t believe me, I can prove myself."


    Hendrix said to Everly, "Before Edmond passed out, he said ''I''m not sick. Even if I don''t have a father, I


    still have a great mother!''"


    ...


    Everly''s heart ached.


    Edmond was her beloved son, who never had suffered such grievances.


    Now he was treated in this way, and she was thest one to know.


    Thinking of this, she med herself even more.


    She would fight with the person behind the ident if she knew who he was.


    "Don''t worry. He''s fine now. The ident is under control now." If Hendrix had known it earlier, things


    would have be less serious.


    "To be honest, I suspect that the person behind might know who Edmond is. Otherwise, he wouldn''t


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    have asked the kindergarten to keep it quiet at the beginning. Why bullying a child?"


    Hendrix felt angry about the kindergarten''s attitude as he was a big figure too.


    The person behind the ident shouldn''t be a pushover.


    "Who is that girl?" Everly asked Hendrix.


    Hendrix shook his head and whispered, "I don''t know at the moment. The kindergarten said that he


    refused to disclose information due to his special identity."


    "Special identity?" Everly muttered.


    "Indeed, the Crane Kindergarten is different than other ordinary kindergartens. The kids are special."


    Hendrix rubbed his chin and thought for a while. "He should be some big figure as he could keep the


    ident quiet. But we don''t need to think too much as we haven''t known who he is yet. Don''t worry. I


    won''t let it worse. They will talk to us. Just wait."


    Although Hendrix said so, Everly was still worried.


    They didn''t know who he was.


    Although it could only be considered a small fight between kids, it involved personal safety.


    However, Hendrix had no choice, nor did Everly.


    Everly stayed in the hospital.


    Hendrix went back to hispany for a meeting. But he let his bodyguard stay in the hospital.


    Everly spent the entire afternoon in the ward with Edmond. Edmond hadn''t woken up but the doctor


    told her that he was fine and just needed more rest.


    Everly decided to call Jayden.


    She heard Jayden say, "Everly, I''vee back to City C. You don''t have to contact Mr. Maverick as he


    has something important to deal with. He will be back in City C in three days. The project of Weirdale


    has been confirmed. We are going to acquire the Ring Vige at the west of the city. The vigers are


    difficult to deal with, so you need to prepare the information required before Mr. Maverickes back."


    Everly remembered what she was told in her mind and hung up the phone.


    He can''t be contacted through cell phone?


    Where the hell did he go?


    Thinking about the night they met in the hotel of Weirdale before they departed, Everly suddenly felt


    emotional.


    It had been two days but it was too long for her.


    When they arrived at the hotel the other day, she couldn''t help but say those words.


    She recalled what she had said. She remembered it vividly.


    "Mr. Maverick, I don''t want this happen to again in case it would cause misunderstanding. As your


    secretary, I''d like to cooperate with you today."


    "What did I do?" he said with a faint smile.


    Everly felt a headache. "Business is business. Could you not do anything intimate to me? You''re my


    boss, and that''s all."


    He stared at her coldly, reached out to pinch her chin, and lifted it forcefully. She could even recall how


    his eyes look like.


    He said, "Are you sure?"


    "Sure!"


    "Then I''m sorry. I don''t do this to my secretary."

 Chapter 61 Her Heart Seems to Be Cut Through by a Knife

    Chapter 61 Her Heart Seems to Be Cut Through by a Knife


    "I don''t do this to my secretary."


    Maverick''s words echoed in Everly''s mind.


    Everly sighed heavily.


    She felt her world was falling apart.


    Why not just quit?


    Actually, the nature of the work now was somewhat different.


    Could she still face Maverick calmly?


    It turned out that she would asionally think of him when he wasn''t in her sight.


    In contrast, when she was in the United States, her immediate superior Brielle was a woman, who was


    also very kind to her. After Everly returned home, Brielle always said that she wanted to be recalled


    back to China. But did ever she miss Brielle?


    Obviously, she treated different people differently.


    Everly stood at the window of the ward with her phone in her hand. She was a person who had many


    random thoughts when she calmed down. Now, she was woolgathering, with her thumb slowly rubbing


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    the screen of her phone.


    Only after hearing Edmond''s voice from behind did Everly suddenlye back to earth.


    "Mommy."


    Edmond woke up.


    Everly finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Edmond was still very weak. He suffered a lot when


    washing his stomach. His face was slightly pale and his lips were dry.


    Everly''s heart ached, "Edmond, is there anything else ufortable?"


    Edmond shook his head.


    In the next second, Everly felt a grip on her heart. From birth until now, Edmond had been calmer and


    more active than herself. Even in the years when he was a baby, he would not cry like others. Besides,


    he had never wet his bed since he was young.


    However, his eyes were now red, and his purple-grape-like pupils were filled with grievances.


    And his skin was white and full of water.


    That was why he looked even more delicate and touching when his eyes and nose turned red.


    Everly had alreadyposed her mind. But seeing Edmond''s expression, she had an itch to revenge


    on the people who had hurt him. Her face was filled with guilt as she reached out to touch Edmond''s


    pale little face.


    "Edmond, it''s all my fault. I shouldn''t be too absorbed in my work. I''m sorry to have wronged you."


    Edmond said stubbornly, "I didn''t harm Candy."


    Everly was stunned and then realized Candy should be the protagonist of the incident.


    "Of course, I trust you."


    Everly thought for a moment and asked, "Do you still remember what happened?"


    Edmond said, "Mommy, I won''t frame other children. And Candy, I like her a lot. She is that


    handsome..."


    Edmond hadn''t finished his words. Probably because he had said a lot in one breath, he was stuck at


    this critical juncture and couldn''t help but cough.


    It urred to Everly that Edmond had just woken up, so he shouldn''t say too much.


    She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, let''s talk about this next time. Do you want some


    water?"


    Edmond nodded. Surely he felt ufortable. How could a child be like an adult, hiding his feelings in


    his heart? The corner of his mouth slightly pressed down, indicating that he was unhappy.


    Everly poured some water for her son, and Edmond took two sips, feeling better.


    He continued, "Mommy, I knew Candy before I went to kindergarten."


    Everly was stunned. "You knew her before? We just returned to China not long ago. When did you


    meet her?"


    Edmond was straightforward. His ultimate goal was to make that handsome uncle his daddy.


    Mommy had him, and the handsome uncle had Candy. They were the most matched.


    "Because Candy is that handsome uncle''s daughter," he said directly.


    Everly was lost for words.


    Her brain seemed to have been stuck for a few seconds.


    Those few seconds seemed to have been torn apart again, and then infinitely prolonged as if one


    second was turned into ten seconds.


    She was dumbfounded.


    Then she got her wits together. There was a chain in her mind, and every opening had a hook. One


    hook after another, they were all connected.


    That handsome uncle was Maverick.


    She knew this a long time ago.


    But Candy was Maverick''s daughter.


    She just knew it.


    Then, it was not strange for Edmond to say that he had known Candy before he went to kindergarten.


    He probably saw Candy beside Maverick.


    So ... Maverick had a daughter?


    Candy was the ssmate of Edmond, so she was either five or six years old.


    This was astonishing news for Everly.


    In fact, she could not tell why she felt so guilty and unnatural.


    Yes, she admitted that her feeling at this moment was not anything else, but guilty.


    So, Maverick''s daughter had already grown to this age?


    And she also had a son of simr age.


    But she seemed to know the difference between Maverick and her.


    For example, she had a son, but this would never be the source of her inferiority because she felt that it


    was not a big deal that she was a single mother. She did not have any emotional entanglements with


    any men, nor did she have an ex-husband.


    Oh, no, she had an ex-husband.


    Actually, she was also a bad guy, right?


    However, no matter what, she never took the initiative to flirt with a man.


    Now, however, she had learned an incredible piece of news.


    Maverick had a daughter. ording to his daughter''s age and his status, he was supposed to have a


    wife.


    Was that Miss Carolina of the Kahl family?


    They have already married at an early age, right?


    Then, why was Maverick so close to her? Was it really because of the business? Or was it because he


    wanted to have an affair on a whim?


    Maverick''s husky and alluring voice rang in her ears once again.


    "I''m sorry, I don''t do this to my secretary."


    Therefore, the reason was thetter one.


    She didn''t know why Maverick fell in love with her. But she knew he really had some interest in her.


    So, what did she be?


    Everly trembled. She had always felt disgusted about the words "home wrecker" and "mistress". And


    she also looked down on such a person. That was why she had never thought of looking for Edmond''s


    biological father in the past five years.


    What she did not expect was that she would actually be the home wrecker in Maverick''s


    marriage.


    No, maybe she wasn''t.


    Maybe Maverick just yed with her. Rick guys did that.


    Everly sneered.


    Her fingers that were holding the sheets were pale white.


    And her heart seemed to be cut through by a knife.

 Chapter 62 They Are Cruel People

    Chapter 62 They Are Cruel People


    Maverick was in Sicily, Italy.


    The ind lied in South Italy and in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, like a triangle.


    The temperature here was warm and humid in winter and dry in summer.


    And the weather was rtivelyfortable recently.


    Maverick hade back less and less often. In the past, he hade back once a month, but now, he


    had onlye back once a year.


    Actually, his sudden arrival was also due to the emergency of her mother.


    Maverick didn''t have time to exin it to Jayden, but he was sure that Jayden would understand it


    since he had followed him for many years.


    Maverick had already been here for three days. He took his daughter away from this ce back then.


    Now that he came here, he wouldn''t have any connection with home.


    The temperature here was different from City C. Maverick only wore a T-shirt and a pair of loose linen


    trousers. His figure was perfect. In fact, his clothes were quite ordinary, but they were still unable to


    conceal his energetic vibe.


    Even his back was so tempting.


    This was a castle that had been handed down since the 18th century. It was roughly 10 years ago that


    he bought it in the name of Maverick Lamont.


    The person living here was Maverick''s another close rtive in this world: his mother Kailey Waller.


    ...


    Actually, Kailey was only 55 years old, instead of seventy or eighty years old as people expected.


    Coupled with her luxurious maintenance, she looked like in her early forties. And her outstanding


    temperament also showed her superiority.


    She was gorgeous when she was young, and at this age, she had shaped a unique temperament over


    the past years.


    Therefore, in those days, two brothers from the famous family in Sicily could turn into enemies because


    of her, a down-and-out woman with a son.


    "When will you return?"


    Kailey stepped forward and asked Maverick, who had been standing in the courtyard for more than ten


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    minutes. She was not as strong as before. And due to the car ident a few years ago, she had been


    sitting in a wheelchair when she didn''t have to walk.


    However, walking on both legs would not be a problem. It would only be slightly slower than normal


    people.


    "After I came back, I find that you are a little absent-minded. Do I disturb your work?"


    Kailey was always gentle.


    Maverick raised his trouser leg and squatted in front of her. It was rare for him to have a soft expression


    on his serious face. "No, you don''t, Mom. But I''ll leave in the afternoon."


    "You are in a hurry," Kailey seemed to have thought of something and she smiled faintly, "Is it because


    something happened?"


    Maverick frowned slightly, "Something happened to you this time. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have rushed


    back."


    "Sorry, I have worried you."


    Maverick shook his head. "It''s time for me to visit you. How do you feel recently?"


    "Pretty good." Kailey hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Maverick, tell me honestly. Pira has been


    keeping an eye on you. She told me that if you don''te back, she won''t give me medicine anymore.


    She was so nervous and kept saying you had another woman at home. I''m afraid that she would make


    a big fuss."


    Pira was not a pure Italian girl, but she was the only daughter in the Kamo family.


    Her mother was also an Asian woman, so she was a mixed-blood. Her mother had passed away early,


    since then, she was particrly favored in the family.


    Several years ago, the Kamo family enjoyed a great reputation throughout Europe.


    Afterward, due to some domestic conflicts, they began to split up. Then, some of them were moved to


    Sicily.


    When Maverick and Kailey escaped to Italy, they were rescued by the Kamo Family.


    After that, so many things happened, and Maverick grew up slowly. Pira, rather than Carolina of the


    Kahl family, deserved to be called Maverick''s childhood sweetheart.


    Pira was an arrogant and willful person. Maverick had a desire to repay the kindness of the Kamo


    family and to avenge the forces at home. Therefore, he had always stood on both sides of the scale


    and maintained the situation, since he knew what he wanted.


    Moreover, the Kamo family was gradually disintegrating due to many contradictions.


    As for Pira, she only wanted Maverick''s attention.


    Ever since Maverick returned home, she had been investigating him, who was outstanding in every


    aspect.


    Her ultimate goal in life was to be his wife.


    However, she found him spend a lot of time with a woman recently.


    Several of Pira''s brothers had been using Kailey to control Maverick.


    In the early years, his daughter was also in their power.


    However, Maverick was indeed very capable.


    Three years ago, he brought his 2-year-old daughter out of here aboveboard. Now, only Kailey was left.


    "Mom, don''t worry about these things anymore. I''m already nning." Obviously, Maverick didn''t want


    to mention the woman at home.


    Kailey knew her son quite well.


    To put it bluntly, he was too much like her. In terms of emotions, it was very easy for him to get stuck.


    "You don''t want to talk about it, and I know you have your reasons. But I hope you understand that the


    people here treat others ruthlessly and cruelly. You have to be careful." When Kailey spoke to him, a


    servant came up and told her that it was time to take the medicine. Kailey sighed and said to Maverick,


    "Don''t worry, I''m fine. Is Candy all right?"


    Maverick only nodded.


    The sound of a car engine came. Then, he heard some messy footstepsing from afar.


    Kailey had a headache. "I went upstairs to rest. It should be Piraing back," she said.


    Maverick''s expression did not change. He bent down slightly and hugged Kailey who was in the


    wheelchair. In this position, he whispered in his mother''s ear, "Mom, everything is going well. Don''t


    worry."


    The sound of high-heeled shoes knocking on the floor immediately came from the door. Just like the


    person who came, the sound of footsteps was extremely arrogant.


    Maverick knew who the person was.


    However, the expression on his face was rather indifferent. He only raised his wrist and looked at his


    watch. It was time to leave for the airport.


    Pira didn''t even look at Maverick when she saw him.


    She thought of the photos she had seen, in which Maverick whispered to a woman. She didn''t even


    know that those gentle expressions could be disyed so vividly in the photos.


    She was so jealous that she almost went crazy.


    "Maverick."


    Pira stood in front of Maverick and raised her chin.


    She was a mixed-blood, but still much shorter than Maverick.


    "Are you angry?"


    Pira was smart, so she said in a soft tone, "I''m sorry, I know I shouldn''t have used Auntie to threaten


    you, but I miss you so much, and I will never hurt her."


    She spoke Chinese very well since her mother was Chinese.


    However, she had the passion of the Europeans. When she spoke, she almost leaned her body on


    Maverick.


    But Maverick retreated without a trace. He looked down at her and said coldly, "There will be no next


    time."

 Chapter 63 Is Maverick Backing You Up?

    Chapter 63 Is Maverick Backing You Up?


    Hendrix and Edmond both found something serious.


    Everly was in a strange mood.


    Hendrix knew her very well. She could not easily conceal her emotions, especially when she was


    sulking.


    No matter who spoke to her, she didn''t bother to answer.


    And she might even hurt herself.


    It was early in the morning. She served Edmond a ss of water. Lost in thought, she didn''t even


    notice she had filled the ss so full that the boiling water overflowed. She was scalded. With a shake


    of her hand, the ss slipped down and was broken into pieces.


    She wanted to pick up the pieces, but in a panic, her finger was scratched identally.


    Although the wound wasn''t deep, it was enough to show how absent-minded she was.


    Back then, Hendrix wasn''t there, and Edmond saw the whole process.


    Just as he was about to say something, Parrish and Gloria came to the hospital to see him, only to find


    their daughter''s fingers bleeding.


    "Are you too tired?" Gloria was worried.


    Thinking it over, she nodded again. Everly had gone to Weirdale before, and after rushing back, she


    had been apanying Edmond in the hospital these days. For sure, she was tired.


    Gloria had retired, but she used to work in the hospital. She immediatelyforted Everly, "Everly,


    don''t worry. Edmond will be fine. Hendrix is taking care of the stuff in the school. You look so pale. Go


    back and have a good rest. Your father and I will stay in the hospital today."


    Parrish had been arrogant and tender. Since Everly was absent-minded, it was rare for him to say


    softly, "Go back and rest. In such a sorry state, you might scare Edmond into cryingter."


    Everly was lost for words.


    ''Is it that serious?''


    ''Although I am a little depressed, I won''t scare Edmond into crying, will I?''


    Edmond recovered quite well. As for those messes at the school, Hendrix helped handle them. Everly


    had just returned yesterday, and only one day passed. She would probably have to wait a bit longer.


    Everly was indeed unable to do anything. After her parents hade and said that, she looked at


    Edmond, feeling that the way he looked at her was somewhat strange.


    Everly cleared her throat and whispered, "Then I''ll go."


    Holding her purse, Everly kissed Edmond and said gently, "Have a good rest. Mommy will go home and


    take a bath. I wille to see youter."


    Edmond was considerate. "Mommy, have a good rest. You have to workter. Don''t worry about me."


    After thinking for a while, he added seriously, "But if Uncle finds something, Mommy, you must tell me.


    Also, how is Candy? Can you help me ask?"


    Everly''s peaceful mood immediately stirred up.


    She thought about what had happened between her and Maverick. She suddenly didn''t know how to


    face the innocent Edmond.


    After a few more words with Edmond, Everly left.


    However, Gloria chased after her and asked, "Everly,st time you were on a blind date. What do you


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    think of that guy?"


    Everly was stunned. It hadn''t been a few days. Stanley hadn''t called in these past few days, but his


    WeChat messages kepting. It was just that Everly didn''t take him seriously. asionally, she just


    replied with simple words.


    She didn''t expect that Gloria would mention him.


    Everly could only say, "We have some contact."


    "See what happened to Edmond this time. You are a woman. How can you have the energy to take


    care of the child and work at the same time?"


    "Mom, don''t mention that. I know what to do."


    "Anyway, since you''re back, we must consider Edmond''s physical and mental health. What if those bad


    children gossip about him again?"


    "I know..."


    Everly was not as tough as before, because she thought that what her mother said might be right.


    In China, although there were lots of single mothers and single fathers, they knew who their partners


    were.


    Edmond, on the other hand, did not know who his biological father was.


    Everly began to agree with Hendrix. At least, she should find out who Edmond''s father was.


    Only in this way could she confirm whether she could let that man take on the role of a father. If it was a


    terrible guy, she would hide it from him forever and marry another man, who was good to Edmond.


    ...


    When Everly left the hospital, her mind was filled with these things.


    She had too many things to do these two days and felt exhausted. She reached out and pinched her


    sore temples. Just as she was about to contact the driver that Hendrix had arranged for her, a pair of


    ck leather shoes suddenly came into her sight.


    She subconsciously raised her head, but when she saw the person ahead of her, she frowned.


    "Everly?" That man was surprised. Soon enough, he turned to be joyful.


    It was Neil, the manager of LAL Branch.


    Everly didn''t have a good impression of him, so she wasn''t in a good mood when seeing him.


    But she had to greet out of politeness, "Mr. Neil, what a coincidence."


    "Are you unwell? Did youe to the hospital to have a check-up?" Neil asked with concern and


    deliberately approached her.


    Everly pursed her lips and took two steps back. She got impatient. "No, my rtive is here."


    "Your rtive? Is he all right?"


    "He''s fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Neil."


    "Your face is pale. Are you tired?"


    "I''m fine."


    "Have you eaten?"


    Everly didn''t want to talk to him.


    However, Neil did not seem to feel Everly''s resistance and unnaturalness. Without waiting for her to


    reply, he said to himself, "It''s almost time for dinner. What about this? Let''s have dinner together."


    Everly forced a smile and rejected, "Thank you, Mr. Neil, but I have something to do."


    Neil kept a smile on his face. Everly felt ufortable looking at him. However, Neil didn''t let go of her.


    "That''s right. You''re his secretary now, and I don''t have the power to ask you out. But I''m so excited to


    see you here. Let''s just eat something in the restaurant nearby. I have something to tell you."


    Everly had been in a bad mood, and Neil kept pestering her.


    She was even more annoyed, and she stiffly spat out the words of rejection, "No."


    Neil didn''t expect her to refuse so straightforwardly. He felt awkward and couldn''t help retorting, "Everly,


    since you became Maverick''s secretary, you changed."


    How could Everly not be angry about such a hint?


    She felt angry, as well as a bit of indescribable shame.


    She blurted out, "Stop saying those words with stings!"


    When Neil saw her expression, he guessed something, ''I am right. Isn''t she angry from


    embarrassment?''


    He should have been promoted at LAL, but after Jayden came, Neil felt as if he had been


    overwhelmed.


    Then he thought about Maverick''s attitude towards Everly. He sighed inwardly, ''What a calcting


    woman!''


    She looked pure but was actually dissolute.


    He wondered how she satisfied Maverick in bed. Or how could she rece Jayden and be


    Maverick''s secretary?


    "You knew the Lamont Group has a forum, right? Now you''re so aloof to me because you have Mr.


    Maverick backing you up?"


    As Everly heard that, the color drained from her face.


    She clenched the purse tightly, and as she was about to refute, a husky voice came from behind her,


    extremely oppressive.


    "Since you know that I''m backing her up, how dare you say that to her?"

 Chapter 64 Experience All Emotions in an Instant

    Chapter 64 Experience All Emotions in an Instant


    Not to mention Neil, Everly was also frozen.


    Maverick was so close that his voice was right beside her ears.


    She came to her senses. They hadn''t seen each other for almost four days. She didn''t know when he


    had left. Even before he went on the business tour, he had been saying those sweet talks to her.


    Now he returned and reappeared without any warning.


    Everly didn''t feel many grievances when she was forced by Neil. She was just angry.


    And now, the familiar masculine aura with the smell of the ocean surrounded her again, and she felt a


    lump in her throat.


    Everly thought she was being too pretentious.


    However, there was nothing she could do. She was unable to control her emotions. She didn''t know


    why she would be like this.


    Neil did not expect that Maverick would appear so suddenly.


    This disrupted his n.


    He had been working in the LAL Branch. He didn''t do his job well, but nobody could drag him down


    from the position as the general manager.


    After all, he was backed by the Rice family.


    Den wanted to merge LAL early on, and he bought off Neil.


    Naturally, few people knew about this.


    Back then, Den had promised Neil that as long as the merging n finished, he would be promoted.


    Unexpectedly, Maverick came and interfered.


    Neil did have some feelings for Everly. A few days ago, someone contacted him and offered to help


    him fulfill his wish.


    He knew it was a Kahl.


    Neil was born and bred in City C. Even if he didn''t pay attention to the gossips about the wealthy


    families, he knew a little about the grudges among them.


    For example, Maverick took Everly away with him once he showed up. And they had been inseparable


    for the past few days. How could Carolina, the miss from the Kahl family, not feel anxious?


    That was the reason she bribed him and offered to help. Therefore, he just epted it and wouldn''t


    consider anything else.


    Most of the time, when a man had some feelings for a woman, he just wanted to take her to bed.


    Neil felt that no matter how Maverick liked Everly, he would not fall out with the Kahl family and the


    Rice family because of a woman. With a powerful family backing him up, Neil wasn''t afraid of offending


    Everly.


    He came here with an ulterior motive.


    Everly refused to go with him just now. If she had agreed, he would have had the chance to drug her.


    Before, he had taken his pet to the hospital and got the animal aphrodisiac.


    He grabbed the bag of animal aphrodisiac in his pocket tightly, and a hypocritical smile immediately


    appeared on his face. "Mr. Maverick, what a coincidence."


    He subconsciously nced at Everly.


    She was behind Maverick. The man in front of her emitted a dominating aura,pletely in a


    protective posture.


    Neil felt nervous.


    But on the other side, there was also a voice lingering in his brain. ''Everly should be my woman. I have


    been interested in her since I ran into her in the US. It''s me who took a fancy to her first.''


    ''Now that Maverick cares so much about her, it means I have a good eye for women.''


    ''If she is just an ordinary woman, how can Maverick be attracted by her?''


    ''It''s nothing. Maverick hasn''t lost his interest in this woman yet. I can wait.''


    Neil wanted to run away. "I have other things to do. I''ll leave. See you, Mr. Maverick."


    Maverick was displeased with Neil.


    He had got a problem with Neil when seeing him in LAL for the first time.


    However, this was not the time to settle ounts.


    Maverick didn''t say anything more, but he already kept it in his mind.


    After Neil left, Maverick was about to ask Everly why she was in the hospital. However, Everly turned


    around and walked towards the entrance without greeting him.


    Maverick frowned and looked at her back. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders. Its end floated


    while she was walking. She looked gentle.


    However, the aura emanating from her body was rather resolute.


    Maverick hadnded for less than two hours, and he rushed to the hospital as soon as possible. He


    didn''t expect to meet Everly here.


    He raised his wrist and looked at the time. Then he took two steps forward and grabbed Everly''s wrist.


    She struggled.


    Maverick could see Everly''s bad mood. He had made her stay beside him during this period. Although


    he hadn''t been with her all the time, he did have spent a lot of time with her, so he knew her well.


    She seemed to be weak, but in fact, she was a stubborn and determined woman.


    Probably because of this, Maverick had never seen her feeling extremely depressed.


    He wondered what had happened to her.


    Maverick didn''t know how to break the silence. He remained silent for a long time and finally said,


    "Raise your head. Why do you keep silent in front of me? Say something. How many men are chasing


    after you? You''re weed so much."


    Everly had been uneasy.


    Moreover, she was guilty, feeling that she had done something wrong.


    Right now, she just wanted to stay alone and calm herself.


    But Maverick pulled her and refused to let go of her.


    What''s worse, he said those words.


    He was so cruel.


    Everly thought to herself, ''There are so many peopleing and going in front of the entrance of the


    hospital and watching.''


    ''Doesn''t he care at all?''


    ''Oh, right. He doesn''t need to care.''


    ''Who dares toin about him?''


    ''Those people would only say it is me who seduced him, the president of the Lamont Group.''


    The more she thought, the more grievances and unwillingness she felt.


    Maverick suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.


    When Maverick looked into Everly''s eyes, he experienced all emotions in an instant.


    The moment their eyes met, Everly''s eyes turned red.


    Stubborn, she forced herself to calm down.


    At this moment, she was so pitiful.


    His heart sank.


    In the end, he felt heartbroken.


    He had never felt this kind of feeling before. It was so ufortable, but he was willing to suffer it for


    Everly.


    "What happened?"


    Maverick asked, his tone not as cold as before.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Meanwhile, he thought, ''Did that man upset her?''


    As Maverick hade over just now, he saw Everly and Neil standing at the door, one pressing


    forward step by step, the other with a gloomy face.


    Maverick''s eyes darkened, and he asked, "What did that man do to you?"


    Everly almost copsed.


    She reached out and pped off Maverick''s hand that was holding her chin.


    She didn''t even know how she made her voice. In short, she knew it was extremely unpleasant to hear.


    With a trembling voice, she forced herself to enunciate every word, "Mr. Maverick, thank you for your


    concern, but it''s not the working time. Please, let go of me."


    With that, she pushed away Maverick''s hand, which was holding her wrist, and did not look at him any


    longer. She trotted out of the hospital''s entrance.

 Chapter 65 Who Told You Carolina Is the Mother of Mavericks Daughter?

    Chapter 65 Who Told You Carolina Is the Mother of Maverick''s Daughter?


    Carolina walked out at this time on purpose.


    For sure, she watched Maverick pulling Everly.


    Things hade to this point, and Candy had been implicated in it. Carolina felt somewhat guilty.


    However, after seeing how Maverick was concerned about Everly, she forced herself to throw all her


    guilt out of her mind.


    ''Miley is right. Candy won''t die. I''m too indecisive,'' she thought.


    Maverick wanted to catch up with Everly. Carolina''s heart sank. She hurriedly took out her phone and


    dialed Maverick''s number before pretending to rush over.


    The moment the call was connected, she gently said, "Maverick."


    Maverick stopped.


    At this moment, Everly, who had just left the entrance of the hospital and was about to call a taxi,


    happened to hear a woman gently calling Maverick.


    She couldn''t help but turn around to take a look. After doing this, she med herself for being cheap.


    However, she couldn''t help do that. She turned her head and saw the woman standing beside


    Maverick.


    That woman had a perfect figure and wore a blue coat, in which her skin looked fair and tender. Her


    ck hair was tied up to her head. Her face was fair and clean. All in all, she was elegant.


    It was the eldest young miss from the Kahl family, Carolina.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Everly felt as if her heart had been tightly pinched, making her unable to breathe.


    She sneered at herself inwardly, ''I''m so useless.''


    ''It is not a big deal. I shouldn''t have met and pestered him. I have digested it for two days. How can I


    deceive myself any longer?''


    ''Right now, the most important thing is to calm down and maintain a certain distance from him.''


    Everly withdrew her gaze, but something suddenly shed through her mind.


    ''Why did Mavericke to this hospital?''


    ''Why is Carolina also here?''


    ''So, Maverick''s daughter is also here!''


    Now that Edmond had been wronged and mistreated by the school, Everly was eager to find out the


    truth.


    However, when she turned back, she couldn''t see Maverick and Carolina at the door.


    She didn''t want to spin around and look for them, so she held back her anxiety and thought carefully.


    Even Hendrix didn''t know where Cindy was. Even if she went to inquire about it now, the staff in the


    hospital would not say anything.


    Therefore, she contacted Hendrix at once.


    "I saw Maverick and Carolina in the hospital, where Edmond was staying. Their daughter should be


    here as well. Do you have time now? You and Maverick are good friends. Can youe? I want to


    settle this matter as soon as possible."


    Hendrix was surprised. After a few seconds, he asked in a low voice, "Everly, who told you Carolina is


    the mother of Maverick''s daughter?"


    Everly was also taken aback.


    "Isn''t she that girl''s mother?"


    "Of course not." Hendrix answered, "I didn''t know about Maverick''s personal affairs before. But we can''t


    take those gossips too seriously. However, I am certain that he did have a daughter when I deal with


    Edmond''s matter this time. As for who that girl''s mother was, no one knows, but it can''t be Carolina."


    Everly moved her lips, not knowing what to say.


    At that moment, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart once again, but she felt exhausted.


    She shouldn''t be too attentive to it.


    He had a daughter, and she had a son...


    "Is that so? I thought ... but forget it. That''s not the point. Will youe?"


    Everly''s tone sounded strange. Hendrix vaguely guessed something and paused for a moment before


    saying, "Father contacted me and said that you have been tired. Come home first. I will contact


    Maverick privately about Edmond and then tell you everything I know. Don''t be anxious."


    Everly thought for a moment and agreed.


    She was indeed tired, and her heart was in a mess, so she decided to go home and rest.


    She called a taxi and went straight home.


    After that, she took a bath, dried her hair,y t on the bed, and slowly closed her eyes.


    At first, it was difficult to fall asleep. She thought of something. Then she picked up her phone and


    entered thepany forum. After looking at it a few times, her mood became even worse.


    She regretted looking at it.


    Afterward, she fell asleep somehow.


    She wasn''t dreaming, but she was tired from sleeping.


    Asleep, she felt someone was chasing her. She ran and ran, but when she looked down, she found her


    legs were stuck in the mud.


    All of sudden, she woke up in shock.


    Only then did shee to her senses. The WeChat rms constantly sounded from the mobile phone.


    Everly was in a hot temper once she woke up. Now, she felt more furious, her body ufortable all


    over.


    She took her phone and looked at it. Several people texted her on WeChat.


    There were also some SMSs from Jack.


    She suppressed the irritation welling up just now and ignored the WeChat messages. She only read


    the text messages.


    J: [Everly, something happened to me recently. Don''t contact me for now.]


    It was sent 40 minutes ago. She should still be asleep.


    And 35 minutes ago, there was another text.


    J: [If a strangeres looking for you, don''t tell him anything. I remember you telling me that your


    brother is a very powerful man in City C. Ask him to protect you well.]


    After that, there were a few more messages, and the interval between them wasn''t very long.


    J: [No matter what happens, don''t tell anyone the real date of birth of your child. Everly, I''ll exin the


    reason to you in detailter. You have to listen to me for your son''s safety.]


    J: [There is one more thing. I have destroyed all of your childbearing records abroad. It may not be


    convenient for you to arrange matters for your son in China. I''m sorry, but please believe me. I just


    want to protect you. If possible, ask your brother to help you.]


    J: [Everly, wait for me for half a year. If I can''t solve these problems,e to the ce where we first


    met. I have something for you.]


    Everly looked at the contents and sobered up.


    She had a hunch that something must have happened to Jack. Every word in his text messages


    conveyed some information of danger.


    She didn''t know what had happened, but Jack had taken good care of her in the past few years in the


    US. Without him, she wouldn''t have been able to give birth to Edmond so smoothly.


    Everly dialed Jack''s number right away.


    However, the number was no longer in service.


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat, and her eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.


    What''s worse, she didn''t know what to do in such a situation.


    She calmed herself down and identally touched the screen of her mobile phone, just in time to click


    on the WeChat app.


    The message that popped out was from Maverick.


    His avatar was a pair of eyes.


    Everly pinched her phone. She remembered that when she saw these eyes, she felt like there was a


    sea of stars hidden inside. Now she thought over it and realized that they should be his daughter''s


    eyes.


    Maverick: [Answer the phone]


    It was a simple order, and there were even no punctuation marks on his text. His domineering and cold


    aura was conveyed from the screen.


    The next second, her phone rang.

 Chapter 66 Maverick, Do You Know That Everly Has a Five-Year-Old Son?

    Chapter 66 Maverick, Do You Know That Everly Has a Five-Year-Old Son?


    It was from Maverick.


    Everly held her phone tightly as if she was holding a hot potato.


    However, there were some things that she still had to face on her own. So she took a deep breath and


    quickly picked up the phone.


    "Mr. Maverick," She opened her mouth first and said in a very calm tone. "Sorry, I''ve been too tired


    these past two days because of some things. I just fell asleep and didn''t see any messages."


    She knew that today was a working day, and she had asked Jayden for leave these few days.


    Maverick was back now. Before she officially resigned, she should really work hard. But the child...


    Now she felt distressed when Jack suddenly sent a few messages at such a time.


    She was also at a loss.


    "Mr. Maverick, what can I do for you? I asked for leave today..."


    "Have you asked me for leave?" Maverick interrupted her coldly.


    Everly calmed herself down and said, "Mr. Maverick, I can''t contact you these days."


    "Did I ever tell you that you could email me?"


    "You did not tell me that."


    Maverick knew that Everly had a quick tongue. She usually liked to be arrogant in front of him for she


    knew that he wasn''t willing to do anything to her. At this moment, every word she said was against him.


    Heughed angrily. "So you rely on only one mouth for all your years of work experience?"


    Everly didn''t want to waste her time arguing with him. She had made up her mind and said, "Mr.


    Maverick, I will send you an email. I did exaggerate too much before, and I think too highly of myself.


    I''m afraid that I''m not qualified for your position as chief secretary. I will hand over my resignation. You


    can arrange for a sessor. When all the work is handed over, I will officially resign."

    ...


    Maverick was in the hospital ward.


    It was the VIP ward on the highest floor in the hospital.


    When Carolina and Miley entered, Maverick wore a long face. Candy on the bed was already asleep.


    Carolina nced at Miley, and then stepped forward and said to Maverick, "Maverick, don''t worry.


    Candy is fine now. However ... I''m sorry, I should have told you immediately. You were on a business


    trip, but I couldn''t contact you at that time. I..."


    "Carolina, what does it have to do with you?" At this time, Miley stepped forward and interrupted


    Carolina. The two sisters seemed to be united in their enmity, which was a rare situation. "Although I


    always felt that you couldn''t take good care of Candy, I think you''ve done a good job this time."


    Maverick stretched out his hand and tugged at the cor of his shirt, without a word.


    No one knew if he was listening.


    He casually threw his phone on the table and sat down with his legs folded.


    Smoking was not allowed in the ward. Maverick was just leaning on the sofa. The warm yellow light


    above his head illuminated his cold features, leaving some shadows. He was charming now.


    However, his expression was extremely cold. It was obvious that he didn''t want to see anyone.


    The two sisters were standing right in front of him. He didn''t know if he could hear their conversation,


    but he hadn''t lifted his head to look at them when they came in.


    Miley had informed Carolina. At this time, she would do a whole thing.


    After so many words, she should reveal a secret.


    "Maverick, there are some things that I don''t know if I should say. It''s just..."


    Miley hesitated.


    Maverick finally lifted his eyelids and looked at her quickly. He said coldly, "If you don''t want to say, I


    won''t force you. I don''t want to listen to you guys right now. Get out."


    Miley''s expression turned awkward.


    Carolina felt a little happy. Although they were currently had the same interest, she admitted that she


    was very happy to see that Maverick did not like Miley.


    So Carolina said gently, "Maverick, I know there are some things you don''t like to hear, but for the sake


    of Candy, you have to believe that we''re not lying. It''s about the secretary next to you."


    Maverick''s fingers, which were originally knocking on the table, suddenly stopped.


    Finally, the two women saw a change in his expression.


    Carolina and Miley almost exploded with jealousy.


    Carolina continued calmly, "It''s about Everly. I didn''t investigate her on purpose. I found out that


    Candy''s ident was rted to her. Then I discovered that she had just be your secretary and


    was on a business trip with you. It was at this time when Candy had an ident."


    Maverick clenched his fist and said word by word in a cold tone, "What do you want to say? Exin it


    all at once."


    Carolina said, "I was lucky to have Miley this time. She told me that Everly has a son who is in the


    same ss as Candy. The rat poison Candy ate this time was given by Everly''s son."


    After she heard this, Miley''s expression suddenly changed.


    She thought to herself, "Carolina, you are really ying a good trick. You deliberately bring me down at


    the critical moment. What do you mean that I told you all?"


    Wasn''t it obvious that it would be her problem if something happened?


    Unfortunately, when Miley wanted to exin, Carolina took the lead and immediately said, "It


    concerned your secretary, so I wanted to investigate from the beginning ... I''m sorry, I made my own


    decision. Now, it seems that Hendrix is interfering in this matter. The surveince system of the school


    has probably been destroyed by them. There''s no evidence anyway. The child drank the water himself


    to prove his innocence..."


    Maverick suddenly stood up.


    Carolina swallowed her following words.


    Miley wanted to say something more so that she could get rid of the me, but it was obvious that she


    was not smarter than Carolina. For a moment, she red fiercely at Carolina.


    Carolina pretended not to see anything.


    She took out a document from her bag and added, "Maverick, this is what Miley investigated before.


    Take a look. This woman called Everly used to be in the United States. Her identity was quite special.


    She got married and divorced after returning to the country. The problem is that her husband or exactly


    her ex-husband is missing."


    Miley looked at the document and couldn''t help but say, "Carolina, this isn''t me..."


    "Miley, you did a good job this time. Thank you. If it weren''t for your care, Maverick and I wouldn''t have


    thought that a female secretary beside us yed so many tricks."


    Carolina turned around and said to Maverick, "This is all true. It seems that all of Everly''s information in


    the United States was destroyed by someone. Maverick, you really should have taken a good look. She


    even wanted to hurt Candy."


    ...

 Chapter 67 Come Out! Im Downstairs

    Chapter 67 Come Out! I''m Downstairs


    "Carolina, you actually didn''t do as we discussed!"


    Miley left the ward, went into the room next door, and shouted at Carolina, "You didn''t do anything and


    even cheat me! If you don''t cooperate, I''ll fight back!"


    Miley and Carolina went out because Maverick was with Candy in the ward and Maverick was about to


    fly into a rage.


    But Carolina didn''t feel relieved.


    Miley and Carolina had prepared a lot. They investigated Everly''s background. Miley nned the


    setup. Now they deliberately came here to tell Maverick the truth. Everything went well as if god were


    helping them.


    Everly got married in the United States but divorced after returning. Her ex-husband hadn''t been heard


    ever since. And Everly had a son. These were the truth and weren''t caused by Miley and Carolina.


    Everly''s son had met Maverick several times before she became Maverick''s secretary.


    Even a fool could tell that Everly approached Maverick for a purpose.


    Other women could only seduce a man. But Everly was very cunning.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She was different. Perhaps Everly knew that Maverick had a daughter of simr age to her son. So,


    she used her son to get Maverick''s attention.


    She seeded.


    But Everly didn''t expect to be caught so soon.


    However, Carolina just couldn''t understand.


    There was so much evidence, but Maverick just didn''t want to take a look at the papers.


    When Miley and Carolina left, Maverick said coldly, "Take the papers away."


    Nothing else could Carolina do. Maverick would investigate Everly and find out the truth himself.


    "Don''t shout!" Carolina was unhappy and dropped the papers on the floor. "We are in a ward, not


    home. People can hear you."


    Miley fell silent.


    She was still angry and said, "You just used me!"


    But she said in a low voice.


    Carolina sneered, "You like to show off very much, so I just gave you a chance. Everything I told


    Maverick was true. What are you afraid of?"


    Miley said furiously, "I underestimated you. You are wicked. Do you think Maverick will believe you? If


    he doesn''t, I will be the one to me. I won''t let you get away with it."


    Carolina thought for a moment. It was not a good time to fight against each other.


    She said gently, "Miley, we''re on the same side."


    "I don''t think so. Maybe you wish I were dead right now."


    "Of course not. You''re overthinking." Carolina tried tofort Miley, "We told him the facts. Maverick


    will make his own judgments. We have done everything we can do. Don''t worry. I won''t let anything


    happen to you. We are on the same side."


    Miley wanted to say something because she still felt aggrieved.


    But Jenson called. She snorted and answered the phone as if she got a backer.


    "Dad."


    Carolina became gloomy. Dad favored Miley more these days. He always called Miley.


    Miley nced at Carolina proudly and raised her eyebrows. "Yes. We are in the hospital and we have


    told Maverick the truth ... Maverick? I don''t know. He didn''t say anything. But I think that Everly can no


    longer stay at the Lamont Group."


    Jenson said something and Miley kept silent for a while.


    She was no longer proud. Instead, she became serious. A momentter, Miley said "Yes. Got it."


    Miley hung up the phone, but Carolina didn''t ask her what happened.


    Miley said, "Dad asked us to collect detailed information about the project Maverick started in


    Weirdale."


    "Daddy told you because he trusted you more. Don''t talk about it with me. You are more capable. You


    can handle it." Carolina didn''t want to get involved.


    And of course, it was not easy to collect the data.


    However, Miley said, "Dad has told me how to do it. We only need to work together again and then


    frame Everly. Even if Maverick notices, it will be Everly who reveals the information. And maybe Everly


    will be put into prison."


    "Don''t forget that Everly is Hendrix''s younger sister."


    "So what? Is the Farley Family as powerful as our Kahl family?" Miley wasn''t worried. "Dad said that


    Maverick offended Den in Weirdale and he also robbed thend in the north of the cityst time. So


    Dad wanted to cooperate with Den."


    Carolina just set Miley up and now Miley became angrier, "Daddy said that Maverick was an ingrate.


    He didn''t even care about the Lamont family. If you wanted to catch him, you had to break his legs


    first."


    Carolina fell silent.


    Meanwhile, she received a message. She read it and became more anxious.


    It was Neil. He texted, "n failed."


    Carolina cursed in her heart, ''What a man! You can''tplete anything.''


    Then she received another message, "I failed because Maverick suddenly appeared. Please give me


    another chance. I will definitely seed. Then you can name your request."


    Carolina sneered and replied, "It''s up to you. I am busy now. I will fulfill your request if you seed. All


    I need is a video. Delete my number and don''t contact me anymore!"


    Then Carolina blocked Neil.


    She was extremely angry and nervous.


    Carolina pinched her palm hard and gnashed her teeth.


    ''I don''t believe I can''t defeat Everly!''


    --


    Everly was upset today.


    She felt that something was about to happen.


    The ce between eyes twitched a few times. Everly took out her phone several times, read the


    messages Jack sent to her and became more restless.


    Thinking for a moment, Everly screenshot all Jack''s messages before deleting them and locked the


    photo album. Then she felt a little relieved.


    Jack hesitated to tell her something when they met before. Did anything serious really happen?


    Or was he going to tell Everly something?


    Everly was pouring water when her phone suddenly rang. She was shocked and scalded her hand


    again.


    She hurriedly put down the cup and shook her hand hard. It was not serious. The hand was only a little


    red.


    Seeing the number on the screen, Everly became more anxious.


    The bell rang for a while and then stopped. Two secondster, Everly received a WeChat message.


    Everly picked up the phone and took a look.


    It was Maverick, "Come out. I''m downstairs."


    There were punctuation marks this time, but he was as bossy as before.

 Chapter 68 Everly, Why Did You Come to the Hospital?

    Chapter 68 Everly, Why Did You Come to the Hospital?


    Everly never thought that she and Maverick would get long like this.


    It was strange.


    They had no rtionships. No. Maverick was the boss and Everly was his subordinate.


    But now Everly felt that they were like a couple who had a quarrel.


    The boy gave in first and drove to his girl''s home.


    Everly was shocked by her idea. She found herself crazy.


    When Maverick called Everly earlier, Everly was tired and she just told him that she wanted to resign.


    She hung up before Maverick could say anything.


    And now Maverick came to her.


    Everly held her phone and looked at the messages. She felt her heart beating faster.


    Everly didn''t reply. She just held the phone, doing nothing.


    It looked as if Everly was thinking. But actually, her mind was nk.


    Soon, the phone vibrated again.


    Everly unlocked her phone subconsciously and the WeChat messages popped up automatically.


    "Everly,e out now. I have some questions for you."


    "I know how to enter your house. Do you want toe out or shall Ie in?"


    "If you want to resign, you have to tell me the reason face to face. I have never treated you only as a


    secretary."


    "Come out. I don''t have much patience."


    ...


    When Everly read the messages, her heart beat even faster.


    Everly knew the source of the problem very well.


    If they didn''t have a crush on each other, she wouldn''t be so upset.


    It was no use escaping, and it was also shameful.


    Everly thought that Maverick was right. She resigned because she wanted to escape. But she still


    needed to face him.


    She finished a ss of water and went out.


    The Farleys lived in a neighborhood. Everly walked for a while before she saw Maverick''s car at the


    entrance.


    Everly didn''t give herself a chance to hesitate and walked forward quickly.


    Maverick saw her from afar. When Everly arrived at the car door, he lowered the window and said


    coldly, "Get in the car."


    Maverick was sitting in the driver''s seat, so there was nobody else in the car.


    However, it was not convenient to talk at the entrance of the neighborhood.


    Everly went around the car, hesitated, and took the passenger seat.


    Maverick locked the car the moment Everly sat down. Everly was shocked and turned to Maverick, "Mr.


    Maverick, what are you going to say?"


    Everly was upset.


    Maverick looked stern and was depressed. The carriage was so small. Everly had no idea what


    Maverick was going to do. She wondered if she had done something wrong.


    Maverick seemed to be in a bad mood but Everly couldn''t tell if he was angry.


    Noticing the downward twists of his mouth and his eyes, Everly knew that Maverick was controlling


    himself.


    Maverick started the car.


    Everly buckled up. They needed to find a ce to talk.


    Everly was silent all the way.


    It seemed that Maverick didn''t want to talk, either.


    After ten minutes, Everly realized that they were going to the hospital.


    After taking a turn at the crossing, she would see the hospital.


    Everly asked, "Why did you bring me to the hospital?"


    Maybe because Maverick didn''t drive very often, he drove very fast on the way to the hospital,


    regardless of the heavy traffic. He didn''t even slow down when he took a turn.


    Everly was scared.


    When Everly was in the United States, she got into an ident on the way to meet an investor.


    Because she drove too fast. And now she was still in shock.


    Maverick braked and the car stopped at the intersection of the hospital.


    Everly held the safety belt tightly and her face was extremely pale.


    Maverick finally looked at Everly.


    She was pale and tender. If Miley and Carolina hadn''t told him, he couldn''t believe that she had been


    married and had a son.


    Everly wasn''t good at hiding her feelings, so Maverick could easily tell that she was terrified.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Maverick sized up Everly and then fixed his eyes on her hands. She was holding the safety belt on her


    chest.


    Maverick could also notice her nervousness and upset from her hands. The safety belt was distorted.


    Was Everly at a loss because she was brought to the hospital?


    Was it true that Everly approached Maverick for a purpose?


    By using her son?


    Everly could y tricks. But wasn''t she worried that she would be caught one day?


    Would Everly be as silly to drug Maverick''s daughter?


    Maverick knew that Everly wouldn''t.


    It didn''t matter whether Everly deliberately seduced Maverick or not. She would never use her son to


    hurt Maverick''s daughter.


    Nobody would be so stupid.


    So Maverick was sure that Miley and Carolina drew up the story.


    Maverick wasn''t in the mood to me Miley and Carolina because he cared more about something


    else.


    He didn''t expect that Everly had been married and even had a child.


    But Maverick was reasonable. He has a daughter, so he could ept Everly''s son.


    But ... damn it! It was different.


    If what Miley and Carolina said was true, everything would be different.


    "Are you nervous?" Maverick suddenly said in a low voice. Everly was stunned.


    "What?" Everly subconsciously answered. Then she recovered from the shock, adjusted her breath,


    and answered, "Mr. Maverick, you drove too fast. I..."


    "Is it because I brought you to the hospital?" Maverick interrupted her, "I met you at the entrance of the


    hospital before. What were you doing here?"


    Everly pursed her lips. She wanted to answer but didn''t know what to say.


    What was she doing here?


    "Did you feel sick?" Maverick didn''t give her time to think of an excuse. "Look into my eyes and answer


    me."


    Everly''s lips twitched. She felt that Maverick was like a wolf.


    If her answer wasn''t satisfying, Maverick would kill her at once.

 Chapter 69 Your Son Had Met Me on the First Day You Returned Home

    Chapter 69 Your Son Had Met Me on the First Day You Returned Home


    What the hell?


    He seemed particrly nervous about the reason why she came to the hospital.


    The outsiders might think that she was pregnant with his child and came to the hospital to have an


    abortion without letting him know it...


    Thinking of that, Everly rxed a little from pressure.


    She frowned and whispered, "Mr. Maverick, you came to my ce and drove me to the hospital just to


    ask this question?"


    Maverick remained cold and serious as he replied, "Answer me."


    Everly did not know why he was so persistent.


    She was about to blurt out that her son was in the hospital.


    To Everly, she couldn''t tell anyone that she had a son, Edmond.


    But she suddenly wondered why she had to tell Maverick that she had a son?


    It was not out of the demand in work, which had nothing to with her son at all. She was eager to exin


    to Maverick as if she couldn''t wait to tell him her current situation.


    She shouldn''t do so.


    Moreover, she prepared to quit her job.


    Of course, the most important thing was that she still had a lot of uncertainties.


    There were the messages that Jack sent her, the fact that Maverick had a daughter, and the questions


    between her son and his daughter.


    She wondered if there was a misunderstanding between them.


    She was in a mess, failing to figure out what was going on.


    When Everly was unsure of something, she would have reservations when facing it.


    So she said after contemtion, "I have family in the hospital."


    It wasn''t a lie, and it was just riding off on side issues.


    When Maverick heard this, he had read apletely different meaning.


    All he did was give her a chance to confess to him.


    He might not believe what Carolina and Miley said. As for the document, he was toozy to read it.


    After Carolina finished speaking, the only thing Maverick caught in his chaotic thoughts was that Everly


    had used her son to get close to him, who had seen him at the airport. So ... was her son the child who


    was going to introduce his mother to him?


    At that time, he asked Jayden to send the child back.


    Maverick immediately contacted Jayden.


    Jayden had just returned from Weirdale when he got off the ne and received a call from his boss. He


    knew that Mr. Maverick had returned home. However, as soon as he put it through, Mr. Maverick asked


    with a cold tone.


    "Everly has a son?"


    ...


    Jayden had thought about whether he should tell Mr. Maverick about Secretary Everly''s affair or not.


    After all, Mr. Maverick hadn''t asked him to investigate anything. In addition, Everly seemed not to be


    that kind of woman who tried to seduce men.


    Therefore, Jayden didn''t say anything. But, beyond his expectation, Mr. Maverick came to ask about it


    personally.


    "What family?" Maverick asked her with a serious face.


    Everly''s lips twitched. She wanted to say something, but she felt as if words had failed her.


    She frowned, trying to calm down. Probably that way, she could organize her scattered thoughts.


    Did Maverick know anything?


    That was fine, so she didn''t have to hide it like it was a skeleton in the closet. On the other hand, they


    were the parents, so they should have a good conversation.


    Everly took a deep breath. Just as she was about to say something, someone knocked on the car


    window twice.


    Her thought was interrupted.


    As she looked over, she saw a man standing outside the car window on Maverick''s side.


    However, she couldn''t see his face. That man bent down slightly and tapped on the ss window with


    his fingers.


    Maverick looked impatient.


    Everly could tell that judging from his domineering personality, he didn''t care about the man knocking


    on the window. Indeed, Maverick stared at her motionlessly. After waiting for a few seconds, he said in


    a deep voice, "Everly, answer my question. I told you before I didn''t have much patience."


    "Now, answer my question." His face was gloomy. He reached out and raised Everly''s chin. "Look into


    my eyes and answer it," he said word by word.


    Everly was almost sure that he knew it.


    He cared about it.


    The atmosphere seemed to be subtle all of a sudden.


    She could have said it calmly, but she was held there somehow.


    In her mind, she kept recalling Jack''s text message, but in her heart, there was another voice saying,


    "It''s not a big deal to tell Maverick. Moreover, you can''t hide it, so just tell him."


    That voice was the God of Courage, urging her not to retreat.


    She opened her mouth and paused. Finally, she said, "It''s my son."


    ...


    In this cramped space, even the air seemed to have thinned out the moment she blurted out.


    Everly felt that this was the truth and that she didn''t mean to hide it.


    But somehow, she was extremely nervous at this moment, especially with the way Maverick looked at


    her.


    He had a sullen face and his eyes were as cold as ice.


    Everly quickly felt the chill creeping up her spine.


    She thought for a moment and said, "I didn''t know that this matter would implicate your daughter, Mr.


    Maverick. Actually, this is the first time that I''ve known that my son and your daughter are in the same


    ss. I...."


    "Are you sure this is the first time you have known it?"


    Maverick looked at her. He had just pinched her chin with one hand, but he was now supporting the


    passenger seat. At this moment, as he spoke, his long, well-defined fingers slowly circled her.


    He pressed down on her shoulder.


    His fingers were clean and slender, and his thumb pressed down on her shoulder. He was controlling


    her with his four fingers.


    Everly wore a low-necked dress today.


    His slightly cold finger abdomen just happened to stick to the back of her neck.


    Everly trembled inexplicably due to this skin-to-skin contact.


    Maverick''s expression was no longer as cold as before. Instead, it was filled with ridicule. "Everly, your


    son had met me the first day you returned home. Did you know that?"


    Everly was not stupid. She had even been abroad for several years, constantly negotiating with rich


    people to win their investment. She was quite watchful.


    So now she could almost read a little bit of information from the Maverick''s expression--


    He felt that she had used her son to get close to him.


    How dare he?


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Why did he think that she was trying to get close to him? And even used her son?


    Everly felt as if she was taking a roller coaster. But in the end, she kept falling as if the roller coaster


    didn''t work. Then she fell into a bottomless abyss, shattering her bones.


    She remembered that saying.


    It went that better the devil you know than the devil you don''t.


    Everly felt terrible.


    She wanted to exin, but she felt that what was done couldn''t be undone. She didn''t have to please


    him since he looked down upon her.


    She rxed as well, ignoring the stinging pain in her heart. She nodded calmly, "I guess I know it."


    "You seem to have given my son an expensive model. I forgot to say thank you," she said after a


    pause.

 Chapter 70 Well See If You Have Feelings for Me

    Chapter 70 We''ll See If You Have Feelings for Me


    Such a calm tone made Maverick even more frantic.


    ''That''s right.''


    He thought to himself.


    ''If she is so nervous that she doesn''t know what to do, does it mean that she has feelings for me?''


    As soon as this thought shed through his mind, Maverick subconsciously tightened his grip on her


    shoulder.


    He couldn''t breathe as if a hand was gripping his heart.


    Even at this moment, he still couldn''t calm down and think of anything else. There were too many


    questions, and he only wanted to hear her tell him personally.


    Then Maverick asked, "Have you ever been married?"


    Everly was stunned for a moment and then heaved a sigh. ''Forget it. Perhaps what has happened is


    the will of heaven.''


    She became calmer and nodded, "Yes."


    "When?"


    "Five years ago."


    "In America?"


    "Yes."


    "Who is he?"


    "A man."


    "So, your son was born after you went to the United States and married another man?"


    "Yes."


    ''My son is the oue of my one-night stand with a strange man. Even now I still don''t know who he


    is. I was wasted that night.''


    Everly would only say such words to herself, and she couldn''t say it out loud.


    Moreover, what kind of stance should she use to say it?


    She no longer had much strength to think about it. Maverick seemed to care about it. Perhaps there


    were many things that she did not want to face.


    ''Just gone with the wind like a falling leaf in autumn.''


    "Why didn''t you say it before?" Maverick looked at her with a long face as if he was very sensitive


    about her having a child.


    When Everly thought of this, she felt a little disgusted.


    ''Why does He mind so much that I had a child?''


    ''Does he think that I''m just a big girl waiting for his favor? Female secretary? A follower? In his eyes,


    I''m just like what they said in thepany forum.''


    ''Skank!''


    ''Men all like enchanting women.''


    ''But now?''


    ''Knowing that I had a child and was married, he changes.''


    ''A typical man.''


    "Why do you ask me that? Mr. Maverick, yourpany doesn''t have such a regtion, right? Besides,


    you haven''t asked me if I''ve ever been married before. I used to be an employee of LAL acquired by


    the Lamont Group. My information is authentic. I used to be in the Marketing Department. When I was


    in the US Headquarters, no one cared about these things." Everly felt angry and her tone became


    harsher.


    Maverick narrowed his eyes, "Then, did you know that I was also in the airport on the day you


    returned?"


    Everly was stunned as if she had been shot at the heart.


    She felt blood was oozed from her heart.


    That was the feeling of a broken heart.


    But she became more stubborn, "I said I didn''t know. Will you believe me?"


    She regained her breath and said coldly, "Actually, you already have the answer. You think that I must


    have been the one who instructed my son to meet you several times. However, I will not admit anything


    that I have never done. I love my son very much, and I will not let him do such a thing. Besides, I don''t


    have any improper thoughts about you. Don''t tter yourself, because you always feel that someone is


    approaching you with ill intentions."


    Everly''s words were like a torrent of rain as if she was going to let out all her grievances these days.


    ''I don''t care who this guy is.''


    ''He is the culprit.''


    ''How can he think of me and my son like this?''


    ''My Edmond is such an attentive and cute boy. How can he suspect that Edmond approaches him with


    ill intentions?''


    "Mr. Maverick, you should be grateful for your appearance. I don''t deny that you look very handsome.


    That''s why my son will rush to you once seeing you. However, he is still a child. You don''t need to take


    it to your heart."


    "Also, your daughter." Everly''s eyes suddenly changed as she spoke. Maverick kept silent. He only


    looked at her moving lips, from which the words he disliked came.


    The space between his eyebrows was beating all the time.


    Then he heard her saying, "Your daughter."


    His heart trembled slightly.


    Then he saw this woman with disdain in her eyes and said word by word, "I believe my son will never


    do anything to harm your daughter. I will let my brother investigate the matter about rat poison. Of


    course, if you insist that my son did it on purpose, we can''t do anything about you. But we are all


    parents. You should offer us mercy, right? Give us some time. I think there is a misunderstanding."


    ...


    It finally quieted down in the car.


    Everly felt much relieved after saying it all out.


    In these past few days, messy things had troubled her much. Now, it was better, since she had let out


    her annoyance. Things should not be stuffed in the heart.


    However, the man beside her changed into a darkplexion.


    ...


    Only now did Maverick realize that instead of the child she had, he cared more about the other


    sentence she said, "I don''t have any improper thoughts about you."


    It was the same as telling him that Everly didn''t like him and she had no feelings for him.


    ...


    ...


    His expression was cold, with obvious aggressiveness.


    The man pursed his lips. He was filled with a bleak air in silence.


    Everly looked at his approaching face. She leaned back and found that she had no way to retreat in


    such a small room.


    She raised her eyes again and looked into Maverick''s deep eyes.


    Emotions were simmering inside his eyes, what feared Everly a lot.


    As she swallowed her saliva and was about to say something, she felt her chin was pinched by


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    someone.


    She snorted, "Maverick."


    "Done?" His voice was depressed and a little hoarse as if he was suppressing an extreme emotion that


    was about to burst forth.


    Before Everly could think of anything else, his handsome face once again appeared in front of her.


    She took a deep breath, "You, what are you doing? Don''t."


    "You''re so noisy." His thumb pressed against her lips, and Everly''s eyes were wide open. She kept her


    mouth shut, for fear that his fingers might poke into it.


    ''What is he doing?''


    "You are always two-faced. I wonder if you really have no feelings for me." He sneered and his eyes


    darkened, "We''ll see."


    As soon as he finished speaking, his thin lips instantly pressed against Everly''.

 Chapter 71 Im a Woman with Feelings

    Chapter 71 I''m a Woman with Feelings


    This kiss was not gentle from the beginning.


    His eagerness to own Everly was reflected in her lips.


    Maverick was like a general marching towards Everly''s rampart.


    Everly felt that all the air in her lungs had been squeezed out. She wanted to resist, but she found that


    she had lost her strength.


    She felt that her body, along with her rationality, was splitting apart inch by inch.


    Such a strong feeling, apanied by traces of excitement, never appeared before.


    As for Maverick, his moves of lips were too intense for Everly.


    She didn''t know what to do, and her mind gradually went nk.


    Her fingers, bending, unconsciously scratched against Maverick''s chest.


    But Maverick was the one whose feeling had been magnified infinitely.


    Though his previous attempt seemed to be unsatisfactory, he was impulsive and very powerful this


    time.


    He was in ecstasy. He eventually knew how it felt to kiss Everly recklessly.


    His disappointment and anger seemed to be gradually dissipating along with it.


    Time psed. Everly eventually opened the gate to her rampart. She found that Maverick''s kiss was


    not only fierce and domineering but also intoxicating. She knew that some reactions were happening to


    her body.


    This terrifying thought, like the morality hidden deep within her heart, was quickly overthrown.


    The knocking sound of the car window seemed to be even louder. It was obvious that the person


    outside was getting impatient.


    It had been more than ten minutes since he knocked on the car window for the first time.


    Maverick turned a deaf ear, but Everly was awakened by the noise from outside.


    When she opened her eyes, she discovered that Maverick''s deep and dark eyes were staring at her


    without blinking.


    He didn''t close his eyes at the very first.


    Instead, she seemed to have surrendered to his kiss and she somewhat closed her eyes.


    That meant he had all seen her subtle expressions.


    ...


    Though Everly didn''t know what kind of expression she had just had, she was extremely embarrassed


    now.


    Herplexion instantly darkened, but he was still so calm.


    Everly couldn''t help but feel fear because her heartbeat was fast.


    It was as if it was going to jump out of her throat and slip into Maverick''s body.


    The back window of the car gave another few bangs.


    It was obvious that the people outside had run out of patience. He no longer knocked, but directly


    pped on it with his hands.


    Vaguely, Everly heard someone shouting outside, "Excuse me? Is there anyone? You are so


    domineering that you take up two parking spaces. Hurry up and move. Hey! Get off! Being rich doesn''t


    mean that you can ignore the rules."


    Inside the cramped car, the hot air of their panting intertwined together.


    But Everly was almost sober.


    The people outside were still nattering. Her ears were buzzing, and she didn''t know what she should do


    now.


    Maverick, on the other hand, didn''t press on her as forcefully as he just now.


    But his lips were still on hers.


    He suddenly put out his tongue and drew a circle around her lips, regardless of the sound outside.


    Everly''s body was trembling extremely.


    He wasn''t as condescending as before. Instead, he looked at Everly with a half-smile, "You''re not only


    blushing, but also your entire body is turning red, and you''re even trembling. Don''t you have feelings for


    my kiss?"


    Everly didn''t want to respond to it.


    But on second thought, if she didn''t say anything, Maverick would not let her off.


    She admitted that she had felt something,


    The kiss was not that good.


    It was a violent kiss. Their teeth met several times, and it hurt much.


    However, she could not deceive herself and said she didn''t feel anything.


    She trembled indecently for just a kiss. Moreover, the intoxication that rose from the depths of her heart


    would not deceive her.


    "I''m a woman ... with normal feelings."


    She stuck her neck and opened her mouth. Her voice was intoxicating like a soft cloud with pink


    bubbles on it.


    Maverick''s Adam''s apple rolled.


    He seemed to have heard a voice in the depths of his heart mocking him.


    ''You''re finished.''


    The people outside knocked on the car window again, and this time they heard him say, "If you don''t


    get down, I can only call security."


    Everly finally became sober. ''What if passers-by peoplee watching us in a while?''


    She also didn''t know how she and Maverick, who were at loggerheads just now, were under this


    situation now.


    However, she quickly reached out and pushed Maverick, "You, quickly leave. The people outside have


    knocked for a long time. Drive the car away."


    Maverick was also extremely annoyed.


    But he did not get out of the car. He hesitated for a moment before leaving Everly''s body. Then, he


    directly stepped on the elerator. The car quickly turned around and reversed into one of the parking


    spaces.


    The people outside definitely did not expect that the car would suddenly move.


    Just now, he was standing at the window of the car. If it weren''t for his quick movements, he might


    have been crashed.


    Stanley felt that he was unlucky today and was not in a hurry to park the car. He ran over to find the


    owner of the car to argue with.


    ''You won''t get out of the car, will you?''


    ''What''s there to be ashamed of?''


    He simply ran straight to the windshield. Just as he was about to say something, he identally


    discovered that a man and a woman were sitting in the car.


    His first attention was the woman in the passenger seat whose face was flushed.


    Because he knew her.


    Everly.


    His blind date.


    He had been in contact with her these past few days, and he had a good impression of her.


    Stanley''s heart skipped a beat as he turned to the man in the driver''s seat.


    Maverick?


    In the blink of an eye, he thought he was cheated, but he quickly felt that he should be worrying too


    much.


    The man was Maverick!


    He hurriedly waved his hand at Everly and shouted her name, "Everly, it''s me."


    No matter how effective the sound instion of the car was, Everly could hear it.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Everly''s expression turned dark.


    Because she saw the man standing in front of the windshield.


    So did Maverick.


    Maverick subconsciously narrowed his eyes and nced at the nervous woman sitting beside him. He


    vaguely thought of something, and then the fire on his chest began to burst out again.


    Everly''s ethereal feelings for him made him look gloomy.


    "You know him?" Maverick tapped the steering wheel with his finger and said in a deep voice.


    Everly could not exin why she was so embarrassed. She nodded her head and said, "Yes. Open the


    car door, I want to get out."

 Chapter 72 Did He See Us Kissing in the Car?

    Chapter 72 Did He See Us Kissing in the Car?


    ''You still want to get off?''


    Maverick, however, remained motionless, his long, knotted fingers still knocking on the steering wheel.


    Perhaps it was because it was so quiet inside the car that even the slightest noise became clear.


    He didn''t open the door, but the man in front of the windshield was still there. He could tell from the


    shape of his mouth that he was saying "Everly".


    Maverick remembered that Lucas seemed to call her the same.


    Everly...


    It hurt him much thinking about this. He felt like he was tormented by a nightmare.


    It was the feeling of jealousy.


    Maverick hated this feeling. His expression became even darker, and his tone became colder, "Who is


    he?"


    His question was extremely unreasonable.


    Moreover, he spoke in a cold tone.


    Thinking about their conversation and that disrespectful kiss, Everly still felt distressed.


    "What does it have to do with you? Hurry up and open the car door."


    "What do you mean?" Maverick sneered, but he no longer looked at the man in front of the car. He


    turned to look at Everly and said, "Do you think the shadow on the window was dark enough? What if


    he saw us kissing intensely?"


    Everly''s ears turned red, but she was irritated out of embarrassment, "Maverick, don''t go too far! Who


    kissed you? It was you forced a kiss on me."


    "It''s all the same. It matters that you have reactions." He seemed to have thought of something. After


    sweeping his gaze around her, his eyesnded beneath her lower part and paused. Suddenly, he came


    closer to her. The scorching air of Maverick''s breathing was oozed around her neck. "Your legs are


    shaking all the time. Then you say you have no reaction."


    It took Everly a minute to understand thest sentence.


    With her heart pumping intensely, she felt aggrieved.


    It was as if her grievances were stuffed inside her.


    She was the kind of person that she would flinch when encountering great difficulties.


    Perhaps it was a kind of shamelessness that was tempered in the business world these past few years.


    Therefore, Everly immediately said, "Whatever you say. But Mr. Maverick, don''t forget that you are the


    one who provoked me first."


    "What?"


    "Whatever. Open the car door."


    She was probably anxious, so she pped the window and thudded.


    It hurt actually. Everly''s palm shrank a bit, and a trace of endurance shed across her face.


    Maverick frowned and discovered that her palm turned red.


    His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he suddenly fell silent.


    Everly thought that he would say something else since he would not be defeated just like that.


    However, she didn''t expect that he would open the door.


    Everly couldn''t wait to get out of the car. The moment the door was unlocked, she pushed open the


    door and jumped out.


    As soon as Stanley saw Everly, he immediately greeted her, "Everly."


    Everly''s look wasn''t very good. She felt somewhat helpless about Stanley''s warm greeting.


    ''We are not too familiar with each other, are we?''


    ''He calls me Everly.''


    This intimate greeting made her somewhat unustomed to it.


    Everly quickly said, deliberately entuating the word. "Mr. Ford."


    ''He is that kind of person like Mr. Neil that I can''t get along well with.''


    "Everly, what a coincidence. You''re back from a business trip?" Stanleypletely ignored what Everly


    called him just now and was still very enthusiastic. However, as he greeted Everly, his gazended on


    the car behind him.


    "Is that Mr. Maverick? I''m sorry just now since he used two parking spaces, so I can''t park."


    Stanley said to himself, "Did I disturb you?"


    Everly''s expression was extremely unnatural.


    Maverick''s words reminded her.


    ''Is this car''s window so shadowy that anything can''t be seen from outside?''


    In turn, if Stanley saw it, no matter how much he admired Maverick, he probably wouldn''t be so


    enthusiastic.


    Everly was still a little stiff. After a while, she nodded her head and said, "I just came back not long


    ago."


    "What are you doing in the hospital?"


    "There are rtives in the hospital."


    Stanley knew that she had a son. After all, when they went on a blind date, both parties must know well


    each other.


    Stanley asked, "Is your family hospitalized? Is it serious?"


    "It''s my son. It''s fine." She thought for a moment and said.


    Stanley was expressionless, "Shall I go see your sonter? I wanted to say thatst time, I like children


    quite a bit. Although we haven''t been dating for many days, I feel that there is fate. I meet you today


    when I am going to visit my cousin..."


    The car beside him suddenly let out a loud sound, which interrupted Stanley''s words.


    ...


    Everly was also shocked by the sound of the horn.


    They looked over. It was Maverick who honked. Three pairs of eyes met through the windshield.


    Maverick''s gaze was fixed on Everly.


    He held a cigarette in one hand, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he held the steering wheel in the


    other. His expression was ambiguous, but there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.


    A momentter, he honked again, then raised the hand with a cigarette gesturing them to move aside.


    Maverick meant they were in his way.


    Everly felt that he did it on purpose.


    She controlled her temper and said to Stanley, "He should be leaving now. Let''s move aside."


    Stanley followed Everly to the side and said, "I''ve read a few reports about Mr. Maverick and it is said


    that he''s rather cold. Looks like it''s true. Are you tired from working for him?"


    "No."


    ''Cold?''


    ''He now acts like a wayward kid.''


    ''Besides, he is so unreasonable. He also likes to tease his female subordinates. Such a person, who is


    in charge of apany, is a beast in human clothing. But few people really know about him.''


    The car quickly brushed past them.


    Only then did Everly see that Maverick lowered the window.


    Her heart trembled slightly as she frowned. ''He must have heard what I said to Stanley.''


    This thought shed through his mind, and the car flew away. The tail gas from the car rushed against


    their faces.


    It showed the arrogance of the car''s owner.


    Everly couldn''t help but cough twice.


    Stanley''s expression wasn''t too good either.


    ...


    Maverick did hear everything.


    ''A blind date? Did she go on a blind date?''


    ''Son? What did the man say? He likes her son right?''


    ''So everyone else knows about it.''


    ''Great.''


    ''I''m thest man on the earth knowing this.''


    Thoughts shed through his mind one by one, and he stepped on the elerator even harder.


    The car was in the business district, but it seemed to be driving on a highway. Its speed soared to 120


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    yards.


    It was as if he wanted to die.

 Chapter 73 Cant You See? I Like You Very Much

    Chapter 73 Can''t You See? I Like You Very Much


    Hendrix saw Everly and a man standing at the entrance of the hospital from afar.


    He was still on the phone and saw his sister looks a little angry.


    He asked the driver to stop the car at the next intersection and said to the person on the other side of


    the phone, "Let''s talk about itter."


    He hung up the phone and got out of the car.


    From here he can take a clear look at the man standing in front of Everly. He felt that he knew this man,


    and then he remembered that he was the guy from the blind date his mother had arranged for Everly.


    He had seen the photos, and it wasn''t too long ago, so he naturally had some impressions.


    At this moment, he just happened to hear the man talking.


    "Everly, I didn''t even say hello to Mr. Maverick just now. Ourpany is going to have a bidding project


    that is linked to the Lamont Group. Do you have any news?"


    Hendrix frowned.


    Wasn''t this just asking his sister to reveal some business information to him?


    Was he crazy?


    What kind of person his mom found for his sister?


    Sure enough, he soon heard Everly say unpleasantly, "I can''t reveal anything about my work, and I..."


    She paused for a moment.


    It seemed that she had quickly cut off what she wanted to say.


    Everly wanted to say that she wasn''t going to continue working for the Lamont Group, but she thought


    for a moment. Why did she tell him that?


    She didn''t want to exin, "My son is upstairs. I''m going to see him."


    Stanley could tell that she seemed to be a little impatient with him. He thought for a moment and felt


    that he was indeed a little too anxious. So, he said, "I''ll go up with you. I wanted to tell youst time that


    I would take you and your son out some other day. It happens that your son is in the hospital. I should


    go up and check on him."


    Everly didn''t want Stanley to go up.


    But now that they were at the entrance of the hospital, if she refused directly, it would seem to be very


    impolite.


    "It''s just that I didn''t bring anything." Stanley said, "How about that I go buy something for your son. Oh,


    right, your son''s name is Edmond Farley, right? She showed me a picture. He looks very handsome.


    What food does he like?"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Everly wriggled her lips, but before she could say anything, Hendrix''s voice came from behind.


    "There''s no need to bother. Edmond can''t eat any snacks now. Let''s directly go up."


    "Hendrix." Everly heaved a sigh of relief, which was rare. Actually, her heart was in a mess right now,


    so she didn''t have the energy to entertain guests.


    "Yes." Hendrix nodded and looked at Stanley. Stanley clearly knew him, and he looked very polite.


    "Hello, I''m Everly''s brother."


    "I know. I''ve heard a lot about you!" Stanley was really excited. "Hello, Mr. Hendrix. I''m Stanley. I met


    Everly on a blind date. Nice to meet you today."


    He stretched out his hand. Hendrix hesitated for a moment, but he still stretched out his hand and


    shook hands with Stanley for a moment before withdrawing his hand.


    "Let''s go up." Hendrix said to Everly, "I just happen to drop by to check on Edmond. There''s something


    I need to talk to you about."


    They looked as if no one else was around.


    Stanley, however, did not feel embarrassed at all. He watched them walk towards the hospital entrance


    and followed happily.


    When his aunt got him a blind date, he heard that his date had a five-year-old son. He even scolded his


    aunt for being insane.


    He was a bachelor. What kind of girl couldn''t he get? Why on earth would he find someone with a kid?


    As a result, after his aunt showed him the details of this woman, Stanley felt that nothing was


    uneptable.


    He was from the countryside, so it was not easy for him to establish himself in such a big city.


    He lived in a rented house. If he could really get Everly to marry him, though she had a son... Still,


    Stanley felt that he could ept it as well.


    Everly was young, and to be honest, she was very beautiful. She could still give birth to his own


    children in the future. Most importantly, she was Hendrix''s younger sister.


    Of course, it was only when they were on a blind date that he found out that she was actually


    Maverick''s secretary.


    She was the Chief Female Secret of the Lamont Group and the younger sister of SY Corp''s CEO. Who


    cared if she had a son?


    Therefore, Stanley was intensely pursuing Everly.


    After entering the elevator, Hendrix was still talking to Everly, but the conversation was all about


    Edmond.


    Stanley was even more certain that the rtionship between the siblings was extremely good.


    "You don''t look well. Have you had enough rest?" Hendrix asked.


    Everly looked at the changing elevator numbers and recalled his pretty face.


    She recalled that pair of deep and sharp eyes which were staring at her without blinking for a moment.


    She still couldn''t calm down.


    ...


    Fortunately, she did not have heart problems. Otherwise, with her heart beating at this pace all day, she


    might have to undergo a bypass operation just like Parrish.


    "Nothing," Everly shook her head.


    Hendrix didn''t ask any further questions.


    When they exited the elevator, Hendrix happened to have a phone call. He nced at Stanley and then


    said to Everly, "You guys go in."


    Everly agreed and walked to the door of the ward with Stanley. After thinking for a while, she said, "Mr.


    Stanley, my son is ... well, he has his own ideas. Don''t talk about our rtionshipter." Everly felt that


    this statement was not correct, so she said, "I mean, just say we are ordinary friends. My son grew up


    in the United States, so he might be a little precocious."


    Stanley smiled and said, "I understand. Everly, don''t worry, I will cooperate with you."


    Everly frowned, "How about you calling me Everly?"


    Only then did Stanley seem a little embarrassed, "Do you not like me?"


    "We''ve only known each other for a few days," Everly said awkwardly.


    Stanley took a step forward and said, "Time and age will not be a problem. Everly, can''t you see? I like


    you very much and I''m serious about us."


    Everly was lost for words.


    She really couldn''t see it.


    But now was not the time to say this, "Go in first."


    Stanley was really inexperienced with children. He had just said that age was not a problem.


    Everly was only a few months older than him. They could be considered to be of the same age, but


    how could a man of this age have any experience dealing with children?


    Upon seeing Edmond Farley, Stanley was at a loss.


    He just felt that this child looked pretty good. He was young but indifferent. As a bystander, Stanley


    always felt that there was something special about this child.


    However, he couldn''t figure out why this child looked special. He just felt that the child was a little cold.


    "Mommy."


    Edmond only greeted Everly. He was only five-year-old yet he could generate aplete phrase.


    Although he grew up in the United States, there was no problem with hisnguage. He had a slight


    American ent, which made his voice sound a little textured.


    "Didn''t I tell you to go back and have a good rest? I''m fine now." This was actually said by a five-year-


    old child?


    Stanley felt somewhat incredulous and didn''t even notice that he was neglected by them.


    Edmond added, "Have you checked on Candy for me? I have her father''s contact information. Can you


    call him for me?"

 Chapter 74 I Am Smart

    Chapter 74 I Am Smart


    Hearing Maverick''s name again, Everly looked even more unnatural.


    She felt her lips swollen.


    She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth.


    "Mommy and uncle will help you figure out all these things. Anyway, we all believe in you. Don''t think


    too much."


    Everly didn''t want to talk about Candy a lot in front of Stanley.


    After all, very few people knew that Maverick had a daughter.


    She quickly changed the topic. "Edmond, say hello to Stanley. As Mommy''s friend, he came to see


    you."


    "Just call him Stanley," Everly said.


    Stanley took two steps forward. Probably he had expected a five-year-old child to be innocent.


    So, when he found Edmond''s calmness and rity of speech, he was somewhat overwhelmed.


    "Everly, your son looks very smart." Stanley smiled and greeted Edmond, "As your mother said, you


    can call me Stanley. Nice to meet you."


    Edmond looked calm.


    He looked Stanley over from head to bottom. He dared not to disobey Everly, so he reluctantly said,


    "Nice to meet you, Stanley."


    Everly felt satisfied to hear this.


    This is the most basic courtesy that Edmond should follow.


    However, Edmond soon added, "I don''t look smart. I''m smart."


    Stanley didn''t know what to say.


    Everly rubbed her nose. "Edmond!"


    "Isn''t that so?" Edmond pursed his lips, "Did you meet Stanley on yourst blind date, Mommy?"


    Stanley was even more speechless.


    Stanley was surprised just now, but at this moment he was a little shocked.


    Perhaps all children nowadays were so sensible and premature.


    Thinking of this, he tried to treat Edmond as an older child. "Yes, we meet on a blind date. Edmond,


    can I call you that? From now on, let''s get along well with each other."


    Edmond, on the other hand, didn''t show him much respect. "But mommy has had a crush on


    somebody else."


    Everly felt embarrassed.


    She didn''t know what to say. Although she didn''t like Stanley, Edmond shouldn''t have said such


    unpleasant words. She red at him and said, "Edmond, don''t talk nonsense."


    However, Stanley said with a smile, "It''s alright. He was just a kid. I won''t take it seriously."


    Edmond said grimly, "You have to take it seriously. There is another handsome guy who would be the


    perfect dad for me. Stanley, you are not bad, but you are not suitable to be my daddy. So, you don''t


    have any chance here."


    There was a sudden silence.


    Hendrix just opened the door. Hearing this, he couldn''t help but curve his lips.


    He felt awkward.


    Everly didn''t know what to say. Stanley didn''t lookfortable, either.


    Therefore, Everly tried to get Stanley out of here. She walked over and said, "Stanley, let''s go down to


    have a drink."


    Stanley nodded.


    Before Everly left, she said, "Hendrix, wait for me for a while."


    Whether Stanley was a friend or a blind date of Everly, it was Everly''s personal affairs, so Hendrix


    wouldn''t interfere too much.


    Everly and Stanley went to the coffee shop opposite the hospital and got seated. Everly didn''t have the


    mood to drink, so she casually ordered atte.


    "Mr. Ford, I think we should rify something between us," Everly said straightforwardly, "Previously, I


    was forced by my mother to have a blind date. As for myself, I still want to focus on my career now."


    Stanley was not stupid. He knew that Everly was rejecting him.


    He thought about it carefully. ''We had a good conversation on WeChat. So, perhaps Everly was doing


    this now for Edmond.''


    ''After all, single mothers nowadays are concerned about whether their children can ept their new


    partner.''


    He immediately said, "Everly, you don''t have to reject me so quickly. It takes time for two people to get


    to know each other. I feel so good about you. We can just be friends first."


    "No, Stanley, I..."


    "Come on. I just want to be your friend. You just got back from America, right? It''s not bad for you to


    make another friend."


    Everly wanted to say something else, but Stanley received a call.


    It might be a call about his work. Stanley suddenly stood up and said, "I almost forgot. I have


    something important to do today, so I need to go now. Let''s keep in touch."


    Everly still wanted to say something.


    But before she had a chance to speak, Stanley hurriedly left.


    Everly drank more than half a cup oftte by herself. She felt bitter and tasteless.


    She had something in mind, so she felt that she shouldn''t sit there and drink coffee. She had to face


    her problem.


    She sorted out her emotions and went back to the ward.


    Hendrix was busy with his work. He had probablye to tell Everly something today and had been


    waiting for her in the ward.


    When Everly returned, Edmond had fallen asleep.


    Everly and Hendrix went to the next room. After they sat down, Hendrix asked, "Did Stanley leave?"


    Everly replied with a "yes" while thinking of something else. "Hendrix, how''s the investigation going?"


    "The school''s surveince camera must have been tampered with. At present, it''s a bit difficult to prove


    that Edmond had nothing to do with the rat poison. However, I think Maverick would believe Edmond.


    Although I didn''t know that Maverick had a daughter, we still developed a good friendship. So, I know


    him."


    Hendrix paused and looked at Everly. "Have you been staying together with Maverick all the time


    recently? You don''t want to leave him for a single moment, right?"


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat.


    She felt that she was seen through.


    However, she frowned and retorted, "Hendrix, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to suggest


    something?"


    "I suspect that someone designed all this for letting Maverick know that you have a son." Hendrix


    sounded confident. "The Mansions were so calcting. Since you reced Jayden as Maverick''s


    assistant, someone has gone to America to collect your information. It was a famous hacker called KA.


    So, your information waspletely leaked. After that, this incident happened."


    Everly had expected part of this.


    "The Mansions?"


    "Didn''t you think that Carolina was Candy''s birth mother? I told you, neither of the Mansions was


    Candy''s birth mother. However, both of them tried hard to be her stepmother." Hendrix sneered,


    "Actually, I think Maverick and the Mansions have the simr reasoning with me. What the Mansions


    want to do is to let Maverick know that you have a son, so they designed all this to let Edmond and you


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    take the me."


    Hendrix paused for a moment and sighed. "With their strong backing, they know that as long as they


    don''t go too far, Maverick won''t do anything to them right now."


    "Well, those bitches!" Hendrix concluded, "They are not tired of doing such things."


    Everly felt surprised, "I don''t expect you to know so much."


    "I also know that Maverick treats you differently." Hendrix''s eyes became ambiguous, "Tell me what


    happened between you two."

 Chapter 75 I Want to Find Edmonds Biological Father

    Chapter 75 I Want to Find Edmond''s Biological Father


    Everly''s eyes flickered with embarrassment.


    It was easy for her to blush. She looked shy, which proved there was something between Maverick and


    her.


    Everly didn''t know what to do. She knew that she could never manage to deceive Hendrix. After all,


    they grew up together.


    Besides, Hendrix knew everything about her.


    "... Hendrix, it''s not what you think."


    "The rtionship between Maverick and I is not like what you think. There are some


    misunderstandings. Anyway, I''m going to resign."


    "You are going to resign?" Hendrixughed.


    "Yes."


    "Because of your rtionship?" Hendrix said bluntly, "I know you very well. You always have a strong


    sense of self-esteem. You would never resign easily for something that didn''t happen. So, the reason


    could only be your rtionship."


    Everly couldn''te up with anything to refute him. She felt panic as if someone had firmly pointed out


    her weakness.


    But she felt unwilling to admit it.


    "Of course not."


    "Really?"


    "Hendrix, why would you be evil, too?"


    "Too?" Hendrixughed, "Everly, what evil thing did Maverick do to you?"


    Everly was speechless.


    Alright, she finally knew what capitalists were like. They had operated their insidious skills of


    negotiation on her. She didn''t feel herself eloquent anymore. She could only be dumb in front of


    Hendrix. If Hendrix continued to ask her like this, she was afraid that she would say out her true


    feelings.


    However, there was something that she was unwilling to admit, nor did she dare to admit it.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore. I can solve my problems by myself." She took a deep breath and


    said, "Didn''t you mention finding Edmond''s biological fatherst time?"


    Hendrix raised his eyebrows, "You want to do it now?"


    "Yes."


    "Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Hendrix exchanged his ovepping legs and looked at


    Everly. "You''ve always resisted finding Edmond''s biological father."


    "I''ve thought it through. Edmond will eventually grow up. Even if he doesn''t want to admit his biological


    father, he should know who his father is. I can''t be too selfish. Sooner orter, I need to face these


    problems. It''s my problem to avoid it all the time, not Edmond''s."


    Hendrix felt surprised. "Well, it seems that you have learned something from Maverick. He does have


    the ability to change one''s mind.


    Everly didn''t agree with him. "Hendrix, don''t make fun of me and don''t think too highly of Maverick, OK?


    It has nothing to do with him. It''s because of what happened to Edmond this time that I changed my


    mind. If you make fun of me again, I''ll go away right now."


    Hendrix tried hard to repress his smile. "But if it were not for Maverick''s daughter, Edmond wouldn''t


    have experienced this."


    "Hendrix!"


    "Alright, alright, I''ll stop. However, there is one thing I still have to say." Hendrix then stopped being


    slightly arrogant and cynical. He said seriously, "Whatever your rtionship is right now, as your


    brother, I suggest you not fall in love with him."


    Everly''s heart sank slightly.


    Of course, Hendrix, who knew how to read faces, had captured all her subtle expressions.


    Hendrix sighed in his heart, too.


    He hadn''t been worried about this problem before, so it seemed that he had been too careless?


    But Everly had just worked for Maverick for a short period. Why would she...?


    Everly wasn''t the kind of woman who would easily fall in love with someone.


    But when he thought of Maverick who was so attractive, he felt that it was reasonable.


    "Everly, I don''t think you''re not a match for him. You are the best in the world. It''s just that Maverick is


    different. He''s not as perfect as he looks. He needs to burden a lot, sometimes stifling. I don''t want you


    to live aplex life like him."


    ...


    Everly didn''t know what the "burden" meant.


    But at this moment, she felt that Maverick had thought too much.


    ''How could I develop any rtionship with Maverick?''


    ''We lead different lives.''


    ''Even though we have kissed each other before, that''s because we are all adults. It''s normal for us to


    be impulsive sometimes, but it has nothing to do with love.''


    ''Yeah, that''s all.''


    ''And it''s better for me to stay away from him.''


    ''The Mansions have treated me like this just because I work for Maverick."


    ''What would they do to my son if I get closer to Maverick?''


    ''So, I should keep away from him.''


    ¡­


    Carolina had waited anxiously at home for 24 hours.


    However, she still didn''t receive the news she wanted.


    Thest call was from Miley. Miley sounded jealousy and unsatisfied. She said, "Carolina, we have


    underestimated Everly''s ability. Maverick did have our information checked and knew it was true. But


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    he didn''t say anything nor did he do anything to Everly."


    Unlike Miley, Carolina never said everything out.


    She knew how to suppress her feelings.


    But that just made her more ufortable, almost suffocating.


    ''Why?''


    ''Why would Maverick defend a bitch with an unbearable past?''


    ''Because of her, Candy is now in hospital.''


    ''Besides, it''s easy to tell that she is taking advantage of her son to get closer to Maverick. Why would


    he be OK with all this?''


    ''I don''t understand. Doesn''t Maverick care about Candy most?''


    Carolina had sat for hours as if she was possessed.


    She still felt furious. She suddenly thought of something. She took out her phone and changed her


    number before making a call.


    As soon as the call went through, Carolina instructed, "There''s no need to wait any longer. I''ll have


    things arranged. I want you to get things done for me tonight. As a reward, I''ll let you work in my


    father''spany, but I have another condition."


    There seemed to be a moment of silence, "What''s your condition?"


    Carolina''s eyes shed with malice, "After you get everything done, find a few sick men to teach her a


    lesson. You know what I mean."


    ...


    Hendrix had a dinner party at night.


    After he finished his work, he intended to contact Maverick. He felt that it was necessary to have a talk


    with Maverick about Edmond and Candy.


    To his surprise, he met Maverick at the Glory Club.


    Maverick must havee here for fun because together with him were many other rich young men.

 Chapter 76 Who Is Everlys Ex-Husband?

    Chapter 76 Who Is Everly''s Ex-Husband?


    Maverick hardly went out at the request of others.


    He was actually quite aloof.


    Hendrix wasn''t very sure whether the popr word "hypocrite" could describe him.


    But this was his personal opinion.


    He and Maverick didn''t grow up together. In recent years, they both had started their own business, so


    they were in the same circle. He didn''t know much about Maverick.


    But what man thought of another man was like that of a woman''s about her peer.


    Actually, women weren''t the only ones with intuition.


    Hendrix probably knew something about Maverick.


    The Lamont family had been on a good term with the Kahl family before, and in the early years, Will


    had a big problem with his marriage.


    Will and Maverick''s personalities werepletely different. How could Will have such courage when he


    was young?


    He relied on his dad to have an extravagant and indulgent life, and naturally, he was controlled by him.


    Back then, the Waller family and the Lamont family might have been the most prominent alliance.


    After that, something happened.


    Actually, everyone in the circle knew that Maverick''s mother was Kailey.


    Kailey had disappeared for many years.


    A few years ago, Maverick suddenly returned to City C and began to infiltrate the Lamont Group.


    At that time, Hendrix had just started his career.


    Maverick had infiltrated the Lamont Group at the same time and had acquired quite a few shares.


    After that, people rumored that he was anxious to control the Lamont Group for a reason.


    Hendrix still felt that the burden on Maverick''s shoulders had something to do with the Waller family.


    Maverick''s mother no longer appeared in front of everyone, and many people knew that the Waller


    family was almost wiped out and the story was taboo in the circle.


    With Maverick''s revengeful personality, he couldn''t let go.


    Maverick had just seen Hendrix.


    The surroundings were noisy, and their gazes met. Hendrix didn''t know what Maverick was thinking,


    but after a while, Maverick stood up.


    He took the initiative to sit beside Hendrix.


    Hendrix was sensible. He picked up his ss and the two toasted symbolically. The environment was


    too noisy and he said to Maverick, "Let''s talk outside."


    The two got up. Someone in the private room noticed them and asked, "Where are you going?"


    "We have things to do," Maverick said this and then followed Hendrix out of the room.


    The person in the room muttered, "I managed to ask Maverick out with great difficulty, but in the end,


    he ran away with Hendrix."


    Someone sitting in a dark corner sneered, "Didn''t you see that Maverick is in a bad state today?"


    "Hayden, your eyes are the sharpest. I also know that he''s in a bad mood. Don''t tell me it''s rted to


    Hendrix. Damn it, I just worked with SY Corpst month. It''s embarrassing to me." The one speaking


    was the youngest son of the Croke family, Tyrese.


    Normally, he was just a yboy, but in private, he was quite close to Maverick and was very good at


    paying lip service.


    Hayden was not a native of City C.


    Hayden Livingston was one of the big shots in City A. Recently, he came to live here because he had


    business in City C.


    Hayden and Maverick got along well. In the views of others, they were of the same type. They were


    both sinister and cunning.


    Therefore, Hayden was the one who knew Maverick better.


    Hayden reached out to touch his chin andughed, "It has nothing to do with Hendrix, but it should be


    rted to someone surnamed Farley."


    "Why was it?" Someone approached, gossiping.


    "Hendrix has a sister. I heard that she has be Maverick''s secretary."


    "You bet. I heard my uncle talking about this before. I thought they were mistaken. Maverick never has


    a woman around him."


    Hayden raised his eyebrows, looking like he had seen through everything.


    Tyrese chuckled and said, "In that case, the Kahl family ... Holy shit, if I had known earlier, I wouldn''t


    havepromised to the Kahl family on that project. Also, my little sister seemed to have quarreled


    with Miley in the mall for a limited edition bag."


    Hayden did not say anything further.


    Tyrese was still chattering, but Hayden was more thoughtful than them.


    Maverick did not need to use Hendrix''s younger sister to achieve anything, so the only exnation was


    that he definitely had something to do with her.


    He came in and out openly and let them know the news. It was obvious that he had started to prepare


    and wanted to take action.


    However, Hendrix was implicated, so, what stance would he take when the time came?


    It was interesting.


    ...


    Actually, Hendrix could think of the things that were on Hayden''s mind.


    Therefore, Hendrix thought differently from Everly. In fact, he was thinking too much.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    It was inconvenient for them to stand on the aisle outside the private room. They found an empty room


    and turned on the lights. Then, they sat on a sofa and faced each other.


    Maverick had been smoking, and his brows had always been knitted together.


    It could be seen that he was in a bad mood.


    Hendrix took the initiative to speak, "About your daughter..."


    He paused for a moment and chuckled, "Speaking of which, you''re really good at hiding. If it weren''t for


    the ident, I wouldn''t have known that you have such a big daughter."


    Maverick remained calm and dusted off the cigarette ashes. "I have a reason. It''s to protect her."


    "This matter is a misunderstanding, although I don''t have much evidence."


    "I believe you." Maverick''s eyes flickered. "Children don''t have that many bad intentions."


    His meaning was self-evident.


    He was simply saying that those with bad intentions were adults.


    Maverick didn''t want to admit it. When he came into contact with Edmond, though he wasn''t confident


    in his ability to read people, he knew that those eyes wouldn''t lie.


    Sometimes, he would feel that Edmond''s eyes were simr to his daughter''s.


    Since Maverick had said that, Hendrix felt that there was no need for him to exin Edmond''s matter.


    He cleared his throat and went straight to the main topic, "Maverick, you know that I have a short fuse


    and I''ll say whatever I want to say. I know that you and the Kahl family are not that simple. My sister


    told me that she is going to resign. To be honest, you''ve been taking her around recently. There are


    already a lot of rumors, and you should at least consider her situation."


    Maverick remained silent.


    He looked down, his long fingers holding a cigarette between them.


    In a recreational clubhouse like this, the lights in the private rooms were all spotted. When they were all


    turned on, the lights were bright, outlining the Maverick''s facial features, making them even stronger.


    But it was hard to discern his emotions and thoughts.


    Hendrix wasn''t in a hurry and was about to light a cigarette for himself.


    Just as he put the cigarette in his mouth, he heard Maverick speak.


    He was startled and the cigarette almost fell to the ground.


    "Who is Everly''s ex? That child of hers was born in the United States? He doesn''t look like a mixed-


    race. Is that ex a Chinese?"

 Chapter 77 Fall in Love at First Sight

    Chapter 77 Fall in Love at First Sight


    Hendrix was doubtful about the rtionship between Maverick and Everly before. But now he was sure


    that Maverick had a crush on Everly because Maverick asked this question.


    Maverick wouldn''t say anything about whatever he didn''t care about.


    Instead of lighting his cigarette, Hendrix yed with it and asked, "Do you like Everly?"


    Maverick looked up.


    Maverick and Hendrix looked at each other, calm and restrained.


    Maverick didn''t want to exin, but Hendrix was Everly''s elder brother. So Maverick admitted, "It''s what


    you think."


    Hendrix was very angry butughed, "Do you have a crush on my sister?"


    Maverick didn''t answer.


    He kept silent.


    Hendrix had mixed feelings. For a brother like Hendrix, whose sister was liked by a man like Hendrix,


    he would sure feel regretful and angry.


    But Hendrix knew that if Maverick insisted, he couldn''t stop Maverick.


    However, didn''t Maverick care about the problems hindering their love?


    Hendrix pondered for a moment and said before Maverick could answer, "Then I''ll get straight to it. I


    don''t know much about you. But I know Everly well. She is innocent. She seems to be independent, but


    she isn''t. She isn''t a strong woman. She is honest, frank, proud, emotional, and stubborn."


    Hendrix lit the cigarette and started to smoke. He said worriedly, "I don''t think you and Everly will be a


    great couple. But I know I can''t stop you and I won''t. I just hope that you can think carefully about it"


    Maverick remained silent.


    Hendrix didn''t care, "You have an engagement to Carolina or Miley. It''s hard to break off the


    engagement. If you fall in love with Everly, the Kahl family will think that you and I are aligned. I don''t


    care. But Everly is innocent. Someone hurt Edmond and Candy this time. I''m not sure if Everly will be


    the next target. I warn you. If anything happens to Everly, I definitely won''t let you go."


    Hendrix was about to leave.


    Maverick remained silent for a long time. But he started to talk when Hendrix was at the door.


    His voice was a little hoarse, "Believe it or not, I won''t allow anyone to hurt Everly."


    Maverick didn''t believe him.


    "Sometimes I just underestimated my influence." Maverick sighed gently as if he had figured out many


    things. He said in a low voice, "Sometimes you have to do it. You won''t understand it."


    You don''t know how it feels to be uncontroble.


    Maverick fell in love the moment he saw Everly.


    ...


    Everly took a shower in the evening. She came out of the bathroom and checked the time. It was just a


    little after eight o''clock.


    Everly was almost free in the afternoon, but she didn''t want to go to thepany. She had handed in


    her resignation. But out of work ethic, she was supposed to continue to work until Maverick had a new


    secretary.


    For at least half a month.


    Everly sat on the bed and dried her hair. Suddenly, she thought of something and touched her lips.


    Maverick kissed Everly so hard that Everly felt as if his smell was still on the lips.


    Everly browsed the Movements idly.


    Suddenly something urred to her. She opened the photo album and found the picture of the shower


    gel in Maverick''s office.


    She thought for a moment and sent the photo to Beth.


    "Do you understand Italian, Beth? I remember that you told me once. Could you please tell me what


    this means?"


    Everly sent the picture.


    But Everly didn''t receive a reply. She thought that Beth was busy, so she put her phone aside.


    Everly wanted to look for a hairdryer.


    Her phone rang.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Everly hurriedly picked it up. It wasn''t Beth. It was Garry.


    Everly and Garry hadn''t contacted each other since Everly left the LAL. She thought that Garry was in


    trouble, so she answered the phone immediately.


    "Garry?" Everly found the hairdryer and put it aside while answering the phone.


    "Everly, do you have a minute?"


    Everly was stunned, "What''s wrong?"


    "It''s a little tricky. I have to disturb you."


    "What is it?"


    "Do you still remember that I gave you a file about an investor when you came back to workst time?"


    "Yes." Everly thought for a moment and said, "But I sorted all the files and gave them to you before I


    got transferred."


    "I''m at the WEE Hotel right now. The investor said that you contacted him first, so he wanted to meet


    you."


    Before Everly could say something, Garry pleaded, "Everly, I don''t do my job well this month. I have to


    take this project. The investor is picky. Can you help me? You just need toe over and say a good


    word for me. I will pay for the fare. "


    Everly didn''t want to be nice this time.


    But it wasmon to help each other at work. And ording to what Garry said, Everly felt that the


    investor deliberately made trouble for Garry.


    It didn''t matter if she didn''t go there. But Garry was nice, and she was the first colleague Everly met


    when Everly came back.


    It was still early, so Everly agreed.


    Everly got the address. She changed into a new set of clothes, blow-dried her hair a little, and went out.


    Arriving at the WEE Hotel, Everly couldn''t see Garry. So she sent a message.


    Garry quickly replied. Everly received the room number and a voice message.


    Everly listened to the voice message.


    Garry said, "Everly, just go upstairs."


    Everly felt uneasy.


    But Everly had a good rtionship with Garry, so Garry had no reason to hurt her. She might be too


    cautious.


    And since Everly had already arrived, why not go up?


    However, Everly became careful after working as a secretary for many years.


    She sent a WeChat message to Hendrix when she got into the elevator.


    "I''m in room 8802 at the WEE Hotel. Call me in half an hour."

 Chapter 78 Ive Been Thinking About It for a Long Time, Everly

    Chapter 78 I''ve Been Thinking About It for a Long Time, Everly


    Everly reached the door and rang the doorbell.


    At the same time, she took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Garry. Suddenly, she thought


    of something and dialed his number instead.


    However, the line was busy.


    Everly thought something was wrong, so she stopped ringing the bell.


    She quickly opened WeChat and sent a message to Garry.


    Everly: "Garry, I''m at the door of your room. Where are you? Come out. I won''t get in if I don''t see you."


    After thinking for a while, she felt thetter half of her sentence was a bit abrupt, so she sent another


    message.


    Everly: "It is probably not very appropriate that I volunteer to meet the investor you want to contact. But


    your line is busy, so where are you?"


    Everly was worried.


    After sending that message, Everly stood at the door of the room.


    She stared long at the dialog box. As long as Garry opened his WeChat, the word "typing ..." would be


    disyed.


    She had waited for a long time, yet that didn''t happen.


    Was he still on the phone?


    Everly bit her lips and thought, "Maybe I should call him again. If I can''t get through, then I''ll leave."


    However this time she could only hear that "Sorry, the number you dialed is power off!"


    Everly felt confused.


    She immediately felt that there was something wrong.


    Anyway, no matter what, she couldn''t stay here anymore.


    Perhaps it was because of what happened to Edmond that she had a persecutionplex.


    Yet, to be honest, it was a good thing to have that kind of mentality right now. Love your neighbor, yet


    not pull down your fence.


    Everly quickly walked back to the elevator. As she walked, she sent Garry a message out of courtesy.


    Everly: "I''m going back since I can''t get in touch with you. If there''s anything else, we can talk about it


    tomorrow."


    She put away her phone and stood at the entrance of the elevator. Just as she was about to press the


    button on the elevator, a figure suddenly shed across the reflective interior of the elevator.


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat, and she had been badly upset.


    However, before she could make any movements, she could feel the person behind her quickly


    stretching out his hand.


    The man had grabbed her waist. Before Everly could scream, the man had covered her mouth with a


    white cloth.


    She was shocked and everything became more and fuzzier in her eyes.


    There was something on that cloth and its smell was very strange. Before shepletely fainted,


    Everly only had one thought in her heart.


    She was done for.


    The feeling of suffocation became more and more obvious as she tried to grab her phone.


    She didn''t know till the end if she had unlocked it with her fingerprints, or if she had made any phone


    calls.


    However, she thought in a daze that the first person in her phone records was Garry.


    If it had anything to do with Garry, the call would have been in vain.


    However, something happened indeed.


    Who could save her?


    ...


    When Hendrix received Everly''s message, he had juste out of the private room of the clubhouse.


    He nced at it and raised his eyebrows.


    After thinking for a while, he gave Everly a reply and asked her why she was going to the hotel at night.


    However, there was no reply to his message.


    Hendrix only met Maverick after dinner.


    He was free at this moment, so he nned to go back. He was quite concerned about Edmond.


    Maverick had his considerations, but he didn''t.


    If he knew that Carolina dared to hurt his nephew, he would definitely revenge.


    He walked to the parking lot and took out the car keys. After thinking for a while, he was a little worried,


    so he took out his phone.


    He nced at WeChat again and there was no reply.


    Then he dialed Everly''s number.


    Almost as soon as the call was made, it was connected.


    Hendrix couldn''t even react because it was connected so quickly. He said "hello" and mistakenly


    thought that he hadn''t rung.


    He took it down and saw that he was in the middle of a call.


    Hendrix frowned and put it in his ear again, "Hello? Everly?"


    There was no sound on the other side of the phone, but the sound of something being dragged could


    be heard.


    Hendrix was puzzled.


    Yet he didn''t hang up.


    He shouted twice and raised his head to see another personing out of the elevator.


    Maverick walked out of the elevator with his hands in his pockets, followed by two men.


    It was Tyrese and Hayden.


    Maverick stood in the middle and those two were chatting, which made him look even colder.


    Hendrix hadn''t hung up yet, but there was still no sound from his phone.


    He was more suspicious.


    Everly was not that impetuous. Furthermore, she had sent him a WeChat message just now. Was there


    something wrong with the hotel?


    His expression was somewhat solemn.


    He held his phone for a moment and didn''t say anything. Instead, he held his breath and listened to the


    He directly opened the car door but it was not convenient for him to say hello to them. As he bent down


    and prepared to sit in, he only simply greeted the three men.


    Maverick stopped.


    Tyrese, who was standing beside him, was a chatterbox. When he saw that Hendrix was about to


    leave, he was unhappy since Hendrix just stayed for a while. So he stepped forward and stopped


    Hendrix from closing the car door. "Hey, why did you leave the moment you saw me? What the hell is


    going on? Who are you calling?"


    Hendrix made a "shush" gesture.


    He happened to hear a faint voiceing from the phone. It wasn''t so clear, but he could tell that it


    was a man''s voice.


    "You can''t escape today. I''ve been thinking about it for a long time, Everly."


    Hendrix paused.


    All of a sudden, he thought of something.


    He almost threw his phone at the dashboard and said to Maverick, who was standing outside the car,


    "Get in!"


    Tyrese was shocked by Hendrix. He even jumped and exaggeratedly patted his chest. "What the hell?


    What happened to Hendrix today?"


    Hendrix ignored Tyrese and looked at Maverick. He gritted his teeth and said, "I guess that something


    has happened to Everly. Maverick, get in the car!"


    If someone would harm Everly, it must be the sisters of the Kahl family. Only they would do this at this


    critical time.


    However, this was not the most important reason why Hendrix let Maverick get in the car.


    Because he knew that the WEE hotel Everly was talking about was a five-star hotel owned by the


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Lamont family. In other words, with Maverick around, he could get in.


    Tyrese, who was standing beside him, and Hayden, who hadn''t spoken the entire time, didn''t know


    what was going on. At this moment, they saw Maverick, who had been in a bad mood all night, frowned


    as he got into the car.


    The two only got a mouthful of exhaust.


    Tyrese coughed twice, "Damn it, what are they doing? What happened?"


    Hayden also cleared his throat, "Didn''t you hear just now? It seems that something has happened to


    Hendrix''s sister."


    "Then why is Maverick so nervous?" Tyrese thought of something and shivered, "I feel that something


    is wrong. If Maverick is with Hendrix''s sister, then it is easy for us to have conflicts. Jenson and my


    father have always been close. What do you think I should do?"


    Hayden seemed to have considered it very seriously and patted his shoulder, "Then do you think your


    father can defeat Maverick?"


    "It''s hard to say," Tyrese replied seriously. "Actually, I always thought that Maverick was very sinister."


    Hayden smiled and said, "Well, good luck."


    ...

 Chapter 79 He Was a Pervert!

    Chapter 79 He Was a Pervert!


    Everly thought that she must be in a nightmare.


    She felt clearer. It was as if she had sleeping paralysis because she felt heavy and extremely


    ufortable all over.


    She wanted to catch her breath because she felt someone strangling her.


    Then, she felt that something was down her throat until it reached the depths of her body.


    That made her nauseating.


    She finally struggled violently.


    Previously, she had been knocked out by someone. With the intense stimtion, she quickly opened


    her eyes.


    However, the moment she opened her eyes, she was frightened to cough violently. Only then did she


    realize that something had slipped into her throat.


    The man on her body was pressing down on her, pouring something into her mouth.


    When she woke up, Everly would naturally struggle.


    She was about to struggle, but the man was probably prepared. He used his legs to press down on


    Everly, and then raised both of her hands high above her head with one hand.


    There was a huge disparity in strength between men and women. Even if Everly exerted most of her


    strength, she would not be able to shake off the man on her body.


    He was still pouring that thing into her mouth.


    She didn''t know what it was, and she just felt panicked.


    She shook her head hard and the liquid was all over her face, "Let me go, oh, please let go ... don''t ...


    oh."


    Her voice was rather weak.


    Two-thirds of the liquid in the bottle had disappeared.


    Everly thought desperately. No matter what it was, she had probably taken a lot of it.


    She had never been so scared like this before, and her eyes were filled with panic, unable to conceal it.


    The man on her body was probably satisfied. He no longer forced her to drink it. Instead, he threw the


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    bottle to the side and sat on Everly''s body, still sping her hands tightly.


    "I have told you. You should be published.


    You make me do this. How is it? Do you feel it?"


    At this moment, Everly was iparably sober.


    Looking at the man sitting on her body, Everly felt that he was different from usual. He did not wear


    sses. When he went to work, his hair was neatly done with wax. Now his hair was hanging in front of


    his forehead.


    Perhaps it was because she had never seen this face carefully before, Everly did not know that his


    eyes were filled with nauseating desire.


    His desire was clear and frightening.


    He was like an addict that would be crazy and no one would know what he would do to himself.


    Everly felt that he was probably a little distorted.


    So she trembled and said, "Mr. Neil, I don''t care what you are thinking about. Please don''t be


    impulsive. What you did is against thew."


    It was Neil.


    She had no idea when she had offended this man.


    Even though he had some interest in her at the beginning, she had never given him any hope, had


    she?


    She had always kept a distance from him, yet he did such a thing instead.


    Everly''s heart was beating in disbelief.


    She didn''t even know the man''s full name.


    "Mr. Neil, if I did something wrong, you could tell me. It is wrong for you to do this, and you will pay the


    price." Everly calmed herself down and tried her best to convince him, "Mr. Neil, calm down. Is there a


    misunderstanding between us?"


    "What misunderstanding? Everly, I have told you I liked your face a lot. Didn''t you know that I was very


    interested in you?" The man on her body smiled perversely when he saw the panic in her eyes.


    Everly pursed her lips and remained silent.


    The man continued, "Actually, I respect you from the beginning and I hope that we can get into a


    rtionship step by step. I also think that you are a good woman. You said that you are not married


    and have a son, but I have taken a fancy to you. Why do you still reject me? Think about it, how many


    times have you rejected me?"


    "Is that why you kidnapped me? Are you crazy?" Everly asked in disbelief, "I''ve informed my brother


    and he wille. You should leave now. There is still time."


    Maybe thatst sentence reminded Neil.


    He thought of something and immediately went to look for Everly''s bag.


    When he entered the room, he casually threw it aside.


    At this moment, he opened it and searched everywhere. But he couldn''t find her phone.


    When Neil went down, Everly had moved quickly. She wanted to escape, but it was toote. Neil turned


    around and saw that she had gotten out of bed and was standing on the floor with one foot.


    He sneered, which made him like a pervert. He reached out and grabbed Everly''s long hair, fiercely


    pulling it.


    Everly''s eyes turned red from the pain, and she couldn''t help but snort.


    The man leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "Do you know why I divorced my ex-wife?"


    "Let go of me, you pervert. I don''t want to know!"


    In fact, Everly had learned some defensive techniques before. But she felt that her body was weak.


    Moreover, the rising heat made her quickly think that the medicine that had just been poured into her


    mouth might be some kind of medicine.


    "Of course not. You need to know, so you can be mentally prepared."


    The manager was a pervert. He took out several photos from somewhere and threw them on the


    ground. Everly''s gaze swept down and she saw the contents of the photos.


    Immediately, her face turned deathly pale.


    Neil pulled her hair and reached into her pocket for her phone. When he took it out and was about to


    throw it away, he discovered that the call was still on.


    The person on the phone was "Brother."


    Neil knew that Everly had an older brother, Hendrix.


    His expression instantly changed. He smashed her phone and pped Everly''s face.


    Everly did not expect that he would suddenly beat her but she could not resist.


    Her face was swollen because of the p. She was so angry that at the same time she was thrown out,


    she gritted her teeth and got up. It was unknown if it was because of the pain and humiliation that she


    had some strength. Then she rushed over and bit the man''s shoulder fiercely.


    She dug the man everywhere.


    It was as if she identally dug the man''s eyes.


    Neil immediately screamed.


    "Bastard, how dare hit me!" Everly said angrily.


    Everly used all her strength and shouted, but her sound was still low. She had just gathered her


    strength. Now, Neil kicked her in pain, and Everly could only feel that her chest hurt. She was kicked


    out, and her forehead had touched the corner of the cab beside her. She even felt a little bit dizzy.


    "You bitch!"


    The man''s eyes seemed to be bloodshot. He couldn''t stand the pain and kicked and punched Everly.


    During this process, there was obvious excitement on his face. Based on the photos she had just seen,


    Everly was almost certain that Neil was not a gentleman as he seemed to be.


    He was a pervert!


    He was the kind of super pervert that had a preference for sexual abuse.


    Why did his ex-wife divorce him?


    This was the only reason.


    "I will destroy you today."

 Chapter 80 Picking up Everly with Extreme Care

    Chapter 80 Picking up Everly with Extreme Care


    Everly had little strength to resist, not to mention that she was injured.


    Everly felt dizzy after she bumped her forehead. It hurt badly.


    Her injury made Neil even more excited.


    The man stood in front of Everly and looked down at her.


    His eyes were scarlet red with abnormal excitement. Smiling mischievously, he raised his foot and


    stepped on Everly''s chest with his shoe on.


    She couldn''t stand the pain and her eyes finally turned red.


    It felt too painful.


    This man was a lunatic though he usually looked normal. It was hard to truly understand a person.


    "It hurts... Let go of me..." Everly choked. She grabbed the man''s ankle with difficulty. She wanted to


    move but failed. "Let go of me... Unless you kill me today, you''ll get punished. Let go of me... Let go of


    me now and I''ll forgive you."


    Neil turned a deaf ear and began to unbutton the belt.


    To be honest, Everly felt disgusted and humiliated.


    She had never been treated like this before. She even wanted to die.


    She hoped that her brother would soone to rescue her.


    She needed him.


    If something really happened, she didn''t know how mad she would be. Perhaps she wouldn''t even


    Thinking of this, she calmed down.


    She no longer panicked or felt helpless. She began to calm down.


    Perverted sadists were probably fond of seeing how frightened the victims were when they were being


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    tortured. This would make them feel as excited as an addict who suddenly smoked marijuana.


    Many women pursued Neil in thepany because he was rich and handsome.


    But he had a crush on Everly a long time ago.


    He was indeed a little mentally ill. He would target women with particr traits.


    When Everly first met Neil, she smiled at him out of courtesy.


    She had an adorable bucktooth and a cute dimple.


    She looked like an innocent teenage girl.


    Neil was fond of this kind of woman.


    That was why Everly had long been targeted.


    Neil was part of the reason why Everly participated in the investment project when she returned to


    China. But many things happened beyond his expectation.


    Even without the Kahl family backing him up.


    He was going to possess this woman.


    He would possess her in the way he liked the most.


    The metal button snapped open.


    Everly bit her lips and refused to lift her head. However, Neil did not allow this. He pinched her chin and


    raised it arrogantly. He pulled out the belt and tied her hands together.


    "You pervert, let go of me." She struggled.


    Neilughed, "That''s right. The more you scold me, the more excited I''ll be. Everly, I''m going to


    torture you to death."


    "Do you know how long I''ve been thinking about this moment? You shameless bitch. I''ll burn you with a


    cigarette buttter. Now calm down. Wait a moment, and you can enjoy yourself."


    He tied up his belt and confirmed that Everly could not escape. He left to fetch something.


    In less than two minutes, he staggered over with a DV and a lit cigarette.


    "Haven''t your got high yet? I just gave you a lot. You''ll feel betterter." He said evilly.


    Everly noticed that the veins on the back of his hand were bulging. He looked calm, but he was trying


    to hold down his excitement. He was not normal at all.


    Was he high on drugs?


    She knew whatever she did and said was useless. She managed to calm herself down. Her brother


    woulde to save her.


    She didn''t want to see Neil again. He was disgusting.


    She simply closed her eyes.


    The man raised his cigarette and walked over. He saw how calm she was as if she didn''t fear death at


    all. He did not like it when his victim wasn''t afraid. He immediately pped her fiercely.


    Everly opened her eyes in pain.


    Neil smiled evilly, "Aren''t you afraid? It seemed that you can handle pressure well. You are worthy of


    being my woman. It''s fine. You''ll soon get excited."


    He pressed down the scarlet cigarette butt on the back of Everly''s hand.


    Everly''s eyes widened in an instant. She was so painful that she couldn''t even shout or cry. She was in


    a daze.


    Neilughed out loud, "How do you like it? There''s more toe. Don''t worry. I''ll make a documentary.


    You won''t forget the moment for the rest of your life."


    Everly could no longer speak. She felt dizzy the moment she saw the man setting the digital video. It


    really hurt. She nced at the back of her hand. It was red and she couldn''t even breathe smoothly.


    She was desperate.


    At the helpless moment, she thought of Maverick.


    What if he knew what she was going through now?


    Maverick...


    She didn''t know why she thought of him. Full of doubt, she couldn''t believe what happened to her at


    this moment. Did it have something to do with the Kahl sisters?


    She had to pay the price for Maverick''s affairs. She felt aggrieved.


    She didn''t think of her beloved son when she almost died.


    She thought of Maverick''s face.


    ...


    Maverick...


    Her hand and forehead hurt like hell. Her entire body felt ufortable and everything in her eyes


    started to blur.


    She snorted and muttered, "Maverick ... you are so annoying..."


    But why couldn''t she get rid of him?


    The door was suddenly mmed open.


    Two figures showed up the instant Neil started filming.


    They hit Neil hard with three punches.


    Neil was unable to stand. He was knocked down and strangled by the neck.


    Neil then found that the attacker was Hendrix.


    Before Neil could breathe, he was hit again and passed out.


    ...


    The man beat him and cursed.


    In contrast, Maverick held Everly tight when he rushed into the room.


    He took off his coat and wrapped it around Everly.


    He frowned with fury and his expression became more and more frightening.


    However, he picked up Everly with extreme care.

 Chapter 81 Let Her Stay in the Position Closest to His Heart

    Chapter 81 Let Her Stay in the Position Closest to His Heart


    Hendrix was really mad with anger.


    With some lingering fear, he wondered what Everly would have suffered if he had been a few minutes


    But even if she wasn''t sexually assaulted, her mind had suffered a certain degree of trauma. Moreover,


    this damned man even burned her with a butt.


    When Hendrix thought of this, his temples started to throb.


    They arrived at the hospital immediately. Hendrix did not dare to tell his parents this. Edmond was still


    in the hospital. Now, Everly was also in the hospital.


    The doctor came out and told them that Everly wasn''t in a good condition.


    Just as Hendrix was about to ask, Maverick, who had been silent all this time, moved faster than him.


    Maverick took two steps forward and asked coldly, "What do you mean by wasn''t in a good condition?"


    Maverick was not a person who was easy to get along with. Now, he looked annoyed and he was filled


    withbativeness. That was so scary.


    Maverick personally contacted the doctor on the way to the hospital. At this time, it was a little


    unnatural for the doctor to talk when seeing Maverick''s terrifying look, not to mention how stressful it


    was to face Hendrix and Maverick.


    "Well, Maverick, the patient must have been drugged with a lot of aphrodisiacs. This thing ... anyway, it


    is quite troublesome. Now we have to do the analysis of blood and then we can prescribe the right


    medicine."


    In fact, he had expected it.


    On the way to the hospital, Hendrix drove.


    Of course, Hendrix didn''t want Maverick to hold his sister in the first ce. He wanted to take his sister


    from Maverick.


    As a result, Maverick directly turned his body to the side with a cold face, holding a fainted woman like


    holding a treasure.


    His cold aura waspletely unleashed, an unweing aura. Hendrix was somewhat unhappy.


    He was calm. It was impossible for him not to know. How could today''s matter be a coincidence?


    It was highly likely that it was done by the Kahl family!


    But he also knew that it was a waste of time to argue about who would hold Everly at that time.


    Therefore, Everly, who was almost unconscious, was carried by Maverick.


    He sat in the back seat.


    Hendrix really thought that his sister had fainted.


    Only Maverick knew that she was actually not.


    She had always been restless and did not make any sound. However, her body was boiling hot and her


    forehead was constantly sweating. Later, he could felt that her body was also sweating.


    This was secondary. She was still constantly moving her body. Maverick had guessed at that time that


    she was probably drugged.


    At that time, Hendrix was focused on driving. On the way, Maverick only said two words, "Hurry up."


    When he was not paying attention, she leaned against his chest. He stretched out his hand, wanting to


    push her away. When his finger reached over, she actually opened her mouth and held onto his finger.


    The soft tongue hooked onto his finger and boldly sucked.


    Maverick felt that he was also being drugged. His whole body was numb.


    He wanted to pull out his finger, but she snorted and was not happy. Her teeth gently bit. How could he


    feel pain?


    There was only itchiness.


    There was a part of his body erected, but he was still holding her. He was not feeling better than her.


    His finger was sucked all the way. Maverick''s scalp was numb and his temples were beating very fast.


    Perhaps it was because she had been holding his fingers all the time, but she didn''t make much sound


    However, his mind was filled with imagination and he couldn''t help but think that this small mouth and


    her tongue werepletely random, but they were enough to make people go crazy.


    He would find a ce to let her suck.


    "Will it affect my sister''s health?" Hendrix asked the doctor with a frown.


    The doctor answered in a proper manner, "Young people now are ying like crazy. These things are


    not rare. Of course, there must be side effects. After all, it can make people''s adrenaline surge. And


    today, Miss Everly should take much of it. She hasn''t woken up yet and has been tortured in her


    dreams. It''s not a good idea. For her safety, we will definitely deal with it."


    Hendrix cursed in a low voice.


    Maverick continued, "Please ensure her safety."


    The doctor added, "The back of Miss Jiang''s hand has been burned by a cigarette butt. The area is not


    small. It is estimated that when she was just burned, she touched something else. It is a little infected.


    The wound on the back of her hand will be very obvious. She may need a skin grafting."


    When Hendrix heard this, his eyebrows twitched.


    "Let''s solve the serious problem first," Maverick suppressed his anger.


    The doctor nodded.


    After they left, Hendrix could no longer restrain himself and punched the wall. He lost control of his


    strength and his hand turned red.


    However, he waspletely oblivious to it. After a moment''s meditation, he finally whispered, "Damn, if


    I find out that it has something to do with the Kahl family, I will not let them off easily."


    Maverick nced at him, pondered for a moment, and finally said in a low voice, "I''m sorry, it was my


    fault."


    Hendrix was stunned.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    In fact, it wasn''t true.


    After all, everyone knew what it meant to be easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard


    against a hidden arrow.


    Moreover, such a proud person like Maverick actually took the initiative to apologize to him.


    Hendrix paused and asked, "You... really like my sister?"


    Like?


    Maverick''s throat moved. Something kept rolling in his heart. The feeling of soreness was like flour


    fermentation. It continued to expand and expand...


    He found it difficult to restrain himself as he stretched out his hand and pressed it against his chest.


    A man like him was always sessful in business, but now he was a little powerless to think about the


    question. Perhaps he could use his hand to press it down and slow it down a little.


    God knows how scared he was the moment he rushed into the hotel room.


    In fact, he didn''t know if he really liked her.


    However, he knew that in all these dark years, he had never paid attention to anyone who appeared


    beside him. She was the exception.


    What was the exception?


    He wanted to write her name on the cigarette and suck it in his lungs.


    Let her stay in the position closest to his heart.


    The only thing he could think of was these two sentences.


    He didn''t know when it started, or maybe it was the first time he saw her five years ago, or maybe it


    was five yearster that he saw her again...


    Didn''t he already make it clear from the moment he felt that she approached him with a purpose?


    If it was someone else, could he, Maverick, spend so much effort to think about it?


    But it was because he didn''t want to treat them equally...


    "Hendrix..."


    Maverick hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but the phone rang at this time.


    He took it out and nced at it. It was from Jayden.


    So he didn''t continue his words. He picked up the phone and Jayden told him, "The person is awake.


    Mr. Maverick, should we send him to the police station?"


    Jayden paused, "He is very tight-lipped. For now, he doesn''t say anything. I found out that he has a


    psychological illness, so it may not be easy to sue him. The evidence is not very sufficient."

 Chapter 82 Its You Who Was to Blame, You Have to Be Responsible

    Chapter 82 It''s You Who Was to me, You Have to Be Responsible


    "Watch over him," Maverick ordered.


    It meant that he was going to deal with the man personally.


    On the other side of the line, Jayden was stunned for a few seconds because he knew Maverick quite


    well in these aspects.


    There were many things that Maverick didn''t need to deal with personally, so he naturally didn''t want to


    waste time.


    In fact, in the two years that Jayden had been with Mr. Maverick, he had seen once when Mr. Maverick


    was violent.


    Mr. Maverick really was an Asura that hade from hell.


    But he had been less frightening than before. Maybe because he had been out of cruel things in Italian.


    Perhaps many people would feel that killing and robbing were the most frightening.


    In fact, in this world, there were still people who had been wandering in the gray zone between ck


    and white. Maverick would not really vite thew, but he was indeed not a good person.


    With such a psychopath, Maverick actually had to personally deal with him.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Moreover, this was still in the nation, but when thinking about that it seemed to be rted to Everly, it


    was expected.


    After Jayden epted the order, Maverick said, "Investigate it properly. Regardless of whether there is


    evidence or not, we will start from WEE Hotel."


    "Yes, Mr. Maverick. I will investigate it as soon as possible." Jayden responded.


    Maverick hung up and looked at Hendrix again. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "I want to


    wait for Everly to wake up before leaving. But it''ste at night and she hasn''t been home or contacted


    your family. You should inform your parents first. I will deal with it properly."


    After a pause, he continued, "I''ll let the pervert pay."


    Hendrix really wanted to personally deal with that damn pervert. However, since Maverick had already


    said so, he would listen to Maverick. "Alright, I will wait for you to inform me of the result. However, I will


    investigateter. I hate those who hurt my family. As long as I confirm it, I will definitely do anything.


    The matter between my nephew and my sister is not so easy to overturn. "


    Maverick knew that he suspected the Kahl family. Of course he has the same suspect.


    At this time, the doctor ran out in a hurry, and the expression on his face was slightly rxed. "It has


    been confirmed. There is no big problem, but her body still needs to cool down. We will take care of


    her. After that, Miss Everly can rest for a while. The injury on her hand will be treated again."


    Maverick responded with an "Ok."


    Hendrix was relieved. He raised his hand to look at the watch. It was alreadyte. He was worried that


    Edmond would contact Everly and that phone had also been broken. He specially forbade Edmond and


    Everly to stay in the same hospital so as not to be found out, so he had to get up now. "Please help me


    take care of Everly. I''ll be back in about two hours."


    Maverick wanted to stay alone with Everly for a while, hoping that Hendrix would leave quickly.


    With Hendrix''s intelligence, it was impossible for him to not see what Maverick was thinking.


    But in fact, he was not supporting Maverick to date Everly. He was too clear that if Maverick really did


    not want anything to happen, things wouldn''t be like this.


    In other words, whatever Maverick wanted to do, his words and actions would tell you and you could


    not stop him.


    Moreover, he would never interfere too much with the emotional affairs of his sister.


    At the very least, with the Kahl family''s current attitude, he was more willing to support his sister to date


    Maverick.


    The daughter of the Kahl family wanted to get a man so badly and even did not hesitate to hurt his


    sister. Then they deserved to get nothing. In the end, they had to watch others falling in love.


    ...


    The high-level VIP ward in the hospital wasparable to the suite in a hotel.


    However, the bathroom inside was definitely not good as a hotel. There was no bathtub. When


    Maverick entered, two nurses were supporting Everly, probably preparing to take a bath for her.


    Everly had already woken up. Her eyes were blurry and her nose was red.


    Maverick only nced at her and his heart was set on fire.


    Her whole body was soft, and she was leaning on the two nurses supporting her. Her clothes were a


    little wet, and he didn''t know whether it was water or her sweat.


    Maverick wanted to stick his eyes on her.


    When the two nurses saw him and were about to say something, he said in a deep voice, "You guys go


    out."


    The nurses were stunned and hesitated.


    "Can''t you hear me? Get out, I will take care of her." He was impatient.


    In the end, the nurses did not dare to stay any longer. They let Everly sit on the toilet lid on the side


    before hurriedly leaving the bathroom and closing the door.


    He was sure that her blood test results were not bad. It was just that someone had drunk her with that


    kind of medicine, so her temperature must have to be cooled down.


    He also knew that it was actually self-torture for him to be alone with her right now.


    But right now, he didn''t want others to take care of her.


    Everly saw the person who came in. When she just woke up, she knew that she should be safe.


    It was just that her body was ufortable. She had some idea of that kind of hot feeling. Thinking


    about the food that the pervert Neil gave her before, she expected that it should be aphrodisiac.


    She thought, ''Am I in heat now''


    In the past few years, she had never been in a rtionship. She had never even touched a man''s


    hand. How could she know what that feeling was like?


    However, there was something in her body that kepting out itself. She knew that this was probably


    the feeling of being unable to stop.


    She wanted to say something and do something, but in the end, she faced two young female nurses.


    To be honest, other than constantly pulling at her clothes, holding her thighs and using pain to soothe


    herself, she did not dare to make a sound.


    It was too embarrassing.


    Her mind was clear, but her reason seemed to be copsing.


    The moment Maverick entered, it seemed that there was a light enveloping his body. She did not know


    if she was dreaming, but she saw him so clearly.


    The taut strings snapped with a snap.


    She didn''t even know where she got her strength from, so she stood up and staggered and ran over.


    He did not expect her to suddenly run towards him. He subconsciously reached out and just happened


    to hold her in his arms.


    She was like a ball of fire.


    Because of the height, her breath was sprayed all over his chest, and he erected in an instant.


    "Everly." He frowned and pinched her shoulders with both hands. "Wake up and bear with it. You''ll be


    able to get through it soon."


    She finally had a chance to speak.


    She had been enduring it all along, so her eyes were red from holding it in.


    When she spoke, there were faint moans that overflowed from her throat.


    "Please, it''s hard to bear..."


    The moment she spoke, that already soft voice was softer like a glutinous rice dumpling, sticking to


    your heart, leaving you at a loss.


    He would say yes to any of her requests.


    "How do you want me to help you?" His breath sank.


    "It''s you..." She frowned and struggled to say, "It was you who was to me... I was in pain, and he


    was so fierce... He was a pervert... I was so scared... Maverick... you... It was you... You have to be


    responsible..."


    His eyes darkened a little, and thest bit of wall in his heart copsed.

 Chapter 83 She Is Mine

    Chapter 83 She Is Mine


    He felt bitter.


    There was also a bit of guilt in his heart.


    In the end, his heart ached.


    Maverick''s eyes shed. The mixed feelings surged through him. He didn''t conceal them in front of


    Everly.


    He looked down at Everly in his arms. She was rubbing against his arms. He also wanted her, but he


    couldn''t.


    He knew what she was suffering now. He was willing to suffer it together with her.


    Maverick reached out and pinched Everly''s chin. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "I won''t sleep


    with you at this time."


    Everly trembled slightly.


    She knew what she was longing for. She felt sad and ashamed, but she wanted him so much.


    Everly had never encountered such a situation.


    However, she could not deny that she wanted to sleep with this man.


    She was an adult.


    ...


    She even despairingly thought, "Anyway, it''s not my first time. I ask for nothing. I just wanted to sleep


    with you."


    Everly was not a very bashful woman. If it was Maverick, she was willing.


    Didn''t he want her?


    She felt she was a little drunk. She had been so initiative. Why did he not want her?


    Wasn''t that why he approached her?


    She lost her rationality influenced by the remaining drugs in her body. She hugged Maverick out of


    control. She whined and pouted, "Don''t you want me?"


    Maverick stiffened.


    She always said things that would surprise him. He shouldn''te here.


    She was thousands of times more enchanting now than when she was drunk.


    He sighed, picked her up, and put her on the marble tform on the side. Her clothes had been wet.


    Maverick didn''t take off her clothes. He turned on the faucet and sprayed the cold water on her body.


    His eyes were dark, but his tone was very gentle. He knew his words might be useless, but he still said


    word by word, "Not now."


    "It''s my fault that you are like this. I won''t sleep with you. Raise your hand. They are injured. You can''t


    touch the water."


    "I''ll help you. Don''t move."


    However, Everly was not obedient. She was aggrieved and enjoyed being pampered.


    She thought in a daze that Maverick would not be angry at her and should give her whatever she


    wanted.


    No matter what he said, she felt ufortable and he had to help her.


    She kept seducing Maverick.


    Maverick used cold water to cool her down, but Maverick finally realized that it was useless.


    He was also soaked and, in a mess, but her face was still flushed and showed no signs of fading.


    He took in a deep breath and looked down at Everly in his arms.


    She was in a mess, but her watery eyes were so charming that Maverick forgot to breathe. Her white


    and tender skin gradually turned red, making him want to swallow it.


    He was a little impatient. "Everly, do you know who I am?"


    Everly blinked her eyes. Her desire let her forget her body''s pain. She reached out and wrapped her


    arms around Maverick''s neck. She buried her head in his chest and said, "Maverick, you liked touching


    me before. Don''t you want me?"


    Maverick clenched his fist and punched the marble stage.


    His knuckles swelled. The pain made him a little clearer, but in the face of Everly''s constant seduction,


    he couldn''t control himself anymore.


    He threw away the shower, cupped her face, and kissed her. "Let me tell you now if I want you."


    ...


    Time passed quickly.


    Everly felt like that they were floating in the ocean, up and down. It also felt like she suddenly saw


    fireworks exploding in the dark.


    It felt like this.


    She remembered that she slept with a man five years ago. However, she was drunk then and she


    didn''t remember the details.


    In the following five years, she asionally dreamed of that night, but she never saw his face. After


    she returned to the country, she dreamed of that man once again and saw his face. It was Maverick.


    It seemed that she had never forgotten those things. At this moment, a strange feeling engulfed her.


    Everly could not help but bite Maverick''s shoulder tightly.


    She thought in a daze that it was seemed to be the same as she felt that night.


    ...


    When Hendrix returned, Everly had fallen asleep.


    Maverick had changed his clothes.


    He stood on the balcony of the ward and smoked.


    He looked lonely. The sleeves of his shirt were slightly rolled up. He held a cigarette with his fingers


    and supported himself on the balcony railing. The dim yellow light shined on him. He looked so


    handsome and sexy.


    "The smoke after sex?" Hendrix thought.


    He suddenly realized that he was a little inconsiderate.


    His sister was forced to drink those things. Maverick was a man.


    Thinking of this, Hendrix was a little annoyed. He walked to the balcony.


    Hearing the footsteps behind him, Maverick pinched off the cigarette butt and turned around. Hendrix


    was standing in front of him. He frowned and said word by word, "I shouldn''t leave, right? What did you


    do to Everly?"


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    At such a close distance, Hendrix discovered that there was a scratch on Maverick''s chin.


    It was scratched by a woman.


    He was stunned and then annoyed.


    Maverick had changed his clothes and his hair was wet. He had just taken a shower. He must have


    slept with Everly.


    "What do you think I can do to her?" Maverick sneered, "If it was not me, could you be at ease?"


    "Of course not," Hendrix answered. "Although you are sinister sometimes, I believe in you."


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, "That''s fine. I won''t hurt her. She is mine."

 Chapter 84 He Sees Hell in His Eyes

    Chapter 84 He Sees Hell in His Eyes


    She was mine?


    Hearing that, Hendrix felt a little strange.


    But he didn''t know what''s wrong.


    It was almost 11 o''clock. Time passed so slowly that there was still an hour before midnight. Maverick


    had something to deal with so he left.


    Before he left, he said to Hendrix, "If she wakes up, tell me."


    Before Hendrix could figure out what was going on, he heard that Maverick was preparing to leave. He


    pondered for a moment, chased after Maverick, and stopped him at the door of the sick room.


    "I only say this once." Hendrix said seriously, "Hendrix, I am not a good person either. But we both


    know what things we could do and what we couldn''t. I don''t know whether you are suitable for my


    sister. If you want to be with her, you can¡¯t let her be in any danger."


    "I won''t."


    He didn''t say, I promise. Maybe he didn''t like to promise others.


    He was not sure how much danger they would encounter in the future either.


    The only thing that Maverick could be sure of at this moment was that he wanted to be with Everly


    forever.


    He didn''t believe that so-called sentence, "Keep away from your beloved woman for her sake."


    He only believed that he had to get what he wanted.


    ...


    Neil''s real name was Levi.


    His families were well-educated, and his living environment was pretty good.


    However, he identally witnessed his graceful father sexually abusing his mother in his childhood. He


    had been out of his mind since then.


    He was mentally ill.


    He inherited this insanity from his family.


    He was the same as his father, who had passed away many years ago. They were polite in public, but


    they liked to sexually abuse women at night.


    The women that they loved to torment the most had little dimples on their faces. They were very cute,


    and when they smiled, their eyes would curve.


    Levi had long had his eyes on Everly.


    At that time, his wife was in a divorcewsuit with him. They did not have children. The Eades family


    was influential then, so his wife did not dare to speak that she was sexually abused. It was also a very


    shameful thing, so no one knew that he was a sadist.


    Carolina identally found it.


    Everly was suddenly sent to the country to pull investment. Carolina found that someone was behind it


    when she investigated Everly.


    Den, who was from the Rice family, had wanted LAL for a long time.


    The rtionship between the Rice family and the Kahl family was pretty good. Carolina heard that


    Den had some rtionship with Levi''s father in the past. Levi had been working in LAL for many


    years and started to help Den get LAL these years.


    Den promised Levi that he would give him the position of the CEO of the branchpany if he


    seeded in getting LAL.


    He didn''t expect Maverick to suddenly appear.


    Levi got nothing, and Maverick transferred Everly.


    Carolina didn''t know that Levi was a pervert then. She only noticed that Levi was very interested in


    Everly, so she helped him.


    Carolina contacted Levi. Levi thought that she would help him.


    Levi didn''t think that he was wrong.


    What if he was Maverick?


    He had the final say in C City. He had the evidence of Carolina bribing him. Carolina would save him.


    Nothing would happen to him.


    This was why he was still unwilling to reveal anything even now.


    Maverick asked Jayden to lock Levi in the hotel suite.


    He left the hospital and then went to the hotel in the middle of the night.


    WEE was a five-star hotel under the Lamont Group. Maverick was free going in and out of here.


    On this floor, there were more than 20 rooms. The hotel manager had transferred all the guests to


    another floor. To prevent them fromining, half of the room fees were refunded.


    Maverick came out of the elevator. This floor was very quiet.


    Several tall and strong bodyguards in ck stood at the door of the room.


    They bowed to Maverick when they saw him.


    Jayden waited for Maverick at the elevator door, and now he was behind Maverick. He stepped forward


    and said, "Mr. Maverick, he is inside. Do you need me to go in with you?"


    "No need."


    Maverick took off his coat and threw it to Jayden. He bent his head and casually rolled up the sleeves


    of his shirt, revealing his strong wheat-colored arm. "Just wait at the door. Is everything inside?"


    "Yes."


    Maverick stopped speaking. After the bodyguard pushed open the door, he walked in.


    When he first rushed into this room, his heart beat faster. He was in extreme panic and frightened.


    But he was furious now.


    Bodyguards were guarding the inside.


    Levi was beaten up. His face was injured and he looked miserable. There were even bloodstains at the


    corner of his mouth.


    Maverick looked at him coldly. He drew a stool here with his long legs and sat in front of Levi.


    The bodyguard immediately understood. He made Levi kneel in front of Maverick.


    Maverick looked down at the man in front of him and said, "I thought that you knew you couldn''t touch


    her when we were at the hospital entrance."


    His voice was deep, and there was emotion in his voice.


    Levi stiffened hearing this. A momentter, heughed, "Maverick, we are the same. You are also a


    pervert. I didn''t expect it before. Does Everly know?"


    Maverick lowered his eyes andughed, "You say I am the same as you? You''re thinking too much."


    "Do you feel ufortable looking at it? I didn''t just saw her naked body. I even touched..."


    Before Levi could finish his sentence, Maverick''s face instantly darkened. He pressed the tip of his


    shoe against Levi''s throat, causing hisst word to suddenly break. Levi''s face was pale and he could


    hardly breathe.


    Maverick pressed harder, and Levi''s face became more terrible.


    Levi could not help but let out a muffled groan, but he still did not beg for mercy, "Maverick, you don''t


    dare to kill me. I''m not afraid of you."


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "Very good." Maverick smiled, "Someone is backing you, so you dare to be so arrogant? I''m afraid that


    you don''t understand the situation. I, Maverick, will let you see who is in charge of everything."


    His handsome face looked a little evil. "Don''t worry, I won''t kill you. But I will repay you tenfold for the


    harm you have done to her."


    Levi''s heart sank. He saw hell in this man''s eyes.

 Chapter 85 Sir, Its You

    Chapter 85 Sir, It''s You


    Carolina was a little uneasy. She knew about the situation there.


    She neglected that it was the WEE hotel.


    She did not specifically tell him where to choose. Maybe Levi did not consider it either when he asked


    someone to call Everly over.


    Therefore, Hendrix and Maverick arrived there and immediately went to the room.


    They failed to do anything and Levi even got caught.


    It took Carolina a lot of effort to find out that Levi was still in the WEE hotel, and Maverick was also


    there.


    She was afraid of being exposed.


    Would Levi confess those things?


    Fortunately, she only selectively told him something. All the evidence would point at Miley.


    She felt she was somewhat sinister.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    However, Carolina knew that they would not be able to tolerate each other sooner orter no matter


    which woman Maverick was with.


    Miley was more calcting. Their father preferred Miley. She also kept ttering Maverick.


    If she didn''t act quicker, she would get in the neck.


    When Carolina thought about this, she didn''t dare to rest anymore and immediately drove to the


    hospital in the middle of the night.


    Candy was still recuperating in the hospital recently. She spent most of her time apanying her in


    the hospital, but she would go home to sleep at night.


    She didn''t like the hospital and couldn''t sleep well there. She would grow old quickly without good


    sleep.


    However, she nned to stay up all night to apany Candy.


    Carolina found that Miley''s car was in the parking lot when she arrived at the hospital.


    Carolina''s expression changed. Miley went too far now.


    When Maverick brought his daughter back to the country, Carolina was the first to go up and willingly


    bring up Candy. In those two years, Miley wasn''t so kind to Candy like now.


    It seemed that Miley had made up her mind.


    Carolina was just about to get out of the car when she suddenly thought of something. Her expression


    changed, and she decided not to go up. She restarted the car and drove back to the Kahl family.


    She wasted a lot of time on her trip.


    She changed her phone number and sent a text message to the people on standby on her phone.


    After everything was settled, Carolina smiled coldly, put on a mask, and then went to sleep.


    ...


    It was the afternoon of the next day when Everly woke up.


    She was not drunk. Everything that happened before came to her mind. Her face instantly flushed.


    She subconsciously looked around and was worried that Maverick was still here.


    She heaved a sigh of relief when she found that he wasn''t there. Just as she was about to sit up, she


    heard the sound of water. Someone seemed to be in the bathroom.


    Everly instantly thought the scene that she hugged Maverick and was pressed against the marble table


    in the bathroom. He used his hand...


    Her face reddened.


    She thought that it was Maverick in the bathroom. Without saying anything, shey down and


    pretended to sleep.


    About two minutester, she heard someone talking.


    It was Hendrix''s voice. "I have something to do in the afternoon. Are you sure you want to wait here for


    your mother to wake up?"


    Then, she heard Edmond say, "Yes."


    Was Edmond here?


    Everly thought about everything that had happened to her before and no longer dared to pretend to


    sleep. She didn''t want Edmond to worry about her.


    She opened her eyes and subconsciously moved. Hendrix acutely noticed it.


    "Edmond, your mother seems to have woken up."


    Hendrix went to Everly. Everly rubbed her eyes. She had just woken up and it was very abrupt.


    "Hendrix, Edmond..."


    She spoke but found that her voice was very hoarse.


    She seemed to cry for a long time during sexst night.


    Everly was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly. "Why are you here, Edmond?"


    "Mommy, were you bullied by bad people?" Edmond pointed at the wound on the back of Everly''s


    hand. Although it did not look as serious as it was yesterday, it was still very obvious. Edmond''s small


    handsome face was full of worry. "Which scoundrel bullied my mommy? I want to beat that scoundrel


    down!"


    Everly was moved.


    She was not fine after experiencing such a thing. She never thought that such a graceful man would be


    so perverted.


    She suffered those things and was not strong enough to not be influenced at all.


    She felt that she was reborn when she saw her son.


    She was frightened when she thought about being trapped in the hotel, not to mention what happened


    "I''m fine." Everlyforted her son. She gave Hendrix a reproachful look. How could he tell Edmond


    about this?


    Hendrix understood Everly''s meaning. He rubbed his nose and sighed. "Don''t you know what our mom


    does? I especially didn''t take you to the hospital where Edmond was, but the news still filtered through.


    Our Mom knew about it and was very worried about you. Edmond also knew it."


    Gloria used to work in the hospital. She had some interpersonal connections.


    Everly didn''t say anything more.


    Hendrix continued, "I need to sign a contract. Edmond is fine now. There''s nothing wrong with


    Maverick. Put aside the matter of the child for now. Take care of yourself. Your wound on the back of


    your hand must be treated in time. The doctor wille overter, and I wille backter."


    Everly answered, "Hendrix, do your things first. I''m fine now."


    She also wanted Edmond to go back. It was not good for a child to stay in the hospital.


    But Edmond was unwilling. He insisted on apanying her. After Hendrix left, Edmond had nothing


    to do. After all, he was only a child. He took out his phone. Everly saw that he seemed to be ying


    games.


    Edmond had a phone, but Everly''s phone was broken yesterday.


    Shey on the bed and had nothing to do. Just as she was about to turn on the TV, footsteps suddenly


    came from the door.


    Everly thought, "Hendrix won''te back so soon. Are they her parents?"


    Someone knocked on the door twice. Edmond put down his phone. "Mommy, I''m going to open the


    door."


    Everly made some preparations and was thinking about how to exin to her parents, but then she


    heard Edmond''s slightly surprised voice.


    "Sir, it''s you!"

 Chapter 86 Edmond, Please! Stop It!

    Chapter 86 Edmond, Please! Stop It!


    Handsome man?


    Everly couldn''t help trembling.


    There was only one handsome man to Edmond.


    But now, she didn''t want to see Maverick at all!


    Plus Edmond was here!


    Everly reacted almost instantly and had made an extremely stupid decision.


    Pretended to be asleep!


    At the first minute the thought slipped through her mind, her body reacted automatically. She


    straightened up and then immediatelyy down, having the quilt covered her entire face.


    She regretted it right away.


    Sometimes the more you tried to hide, the more it was exposed.


    Trying to deceive herself as well as others?


    That was what she was doing, right?


    What''s worse, Edmond knew that she had just woken up. As her son liked Maverick so much, she


    would definitely be given away in less than 30 seconds.


    But it was toote, Maverick was alreadying in with Edmond.


    It was enoughing from the door to the inside of the room in a few seconds, even though the VIP


    ward was quite big.


    Under the quilt that was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Everly felt that she had made the most


    stupid decision in the past 20 years.


    As to Maverick, he did not expect that he would meet Edmond here.


    It had been a while since theyst met at the restaurant.


    But it was just like yesterday that he was stopped by this little boy at the airport and being asked if he


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    had a girlfriend.


    Maverick knew himself well.


    He wasn''t easy-going. The only reason why Edmond could get close to him so easily twice a day was


    that he liked this little boy very much.


    Since then, he would think of Edmond asionally.


    He was busy all the time. He had gone back to Italy and went on a business trip in Weirdale this month.


    Now that Everly was with him, he hadn''t seen Candy a lot recently.


    Even so, he could still hear of Edmond from Candy most of the time.


    He might have subconsciously cleared himself of the idea that Edmond might have a rtionship with


    Everly.


    They were all surnamed Farley, but there were a lot of Farleys in the world.


    Moreover, most children were surnamed after their fathers.


    While the least impossible thing was still possible.


    He could hardly exin how he felt when he previously discovered that Edmond was Everly''s son.


    Carolina had always been trying to tell him that Everly was using her child to get close to him and


    Candy.


    But he never thought it that way.


    After going through all those things, Maverick came to realize that it was because Edmond''s face was


    so simr to Everly''s that he had never resisted this five-year-old child right from the beginning.


    Perhaps this was fate.


    He might have subconsciously given Everly green lights since five years ago.


    "Hey, Mommy? She was awake just now... Why is she asleep again?" Edmond said innocently, "Sir,


    please take a seat."


    Edmond said politely to Maverick, "I didn''t expect you to visit Mommy. I''ve always wanted to introduce


    you to each other. Sir, have you known my mommy since long ago?"


    Maverick''s gaze fell on the girl who was tightly covered by the quilt.


    His eyes involuntarily fill with softness.


    He used to think that she was a little stupid and sometimes too persistent. However, he didn''t know that


    she was also cute.


    Pretending to be asleep?


    "Well, she will not forget herself this time." He thought.


    Maverick hadn''t taken a rest for the whole night. After dealing with Levi, he had given Jayden an order


    to investigate the Kahls before going back for a shower. Since the hospital was nearer to his ce, he


    gave up the previous n of seeing Candy first.


    Seeing Everly acting like this, Maverick did nothing but directly pulled over a stool and sat beside the


    bed.


    Thanks to her outstanding sixth sense and hearing, Everly could tell that Maverick was sitting in front of


    her face to face.


    In other words, to avoid embarrassment, she could not do anything now. Otherwise, she would give


    herself away all at once.


    But... this quilt... was really smelly and disgusting!


    Then, Everly heard Maverick talking to Edmond, "There''s no need for water. Your name is Edmond,


    right?"


    "Yes, sir. What is your rtionship with my mommy?"


    Maverick stayed silent for a few seconds before answering, "What do you want it to be?"


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    Edmond seemed to worship Maverick for no reason.


    Everly couldn''t tell why. Maybe good-looking represented everything. Anyway, her son really liked him.


    To Edmond, the handsome man that he had always wanted to introduce to his mommy was asking him


    what kind of rtionship that he wanted it to be between them!


    So he replied happily at once, "Couples, of course! Sir, Candy has told me that she doesn''t have a


    mommy either. You guys are a perfect match!"


    Everly was dumbfounded.


    Edmond, please! Stop it!


    "Sir, is it because of Candy that you know my mommy?" Edmond continued to ask.


    Maverick was honest, "No."


    "Maverick, I''m counting on you. Make it a while lie, please!" thought Everly.


    However, Maverick nced at the girl in bed and curled his lips, "I''ve known her for a long time."


    Everly just wanted it to end immediately...


    "Oh, really?" Edmond was very excited that his eyes were sparkling.


    Maverick seemed to be in a good mood, "Well, I never lie."


    Everly didn''t even know how to react.


    "Sir, I am not going to make the introduction anymore since you have known my mommy for long. I told


    you my mommy was amazing. I didn''t lie to you, right?"


    "Indeed, lying is a bad habit," Maverick said with softness.


    "Yep." Edmond nodded vigorously, "Sir, you have to believe me. I didn''t do that to Candy."


    "I trust you."


    "Really?"


    "Yes."


    "Well, then. Sir, can you notugh at Mommy if she has done something stupid?"


    "What is it?"


    Edmond suddenly walked over the bed and tried to pull the quilt, "Mommy is probably shy. She has


    woken up and she has been eavesdropping. Well, Mommy,e out quickly. He won''tugh at you,"


    said Edmond in a bitter tone.


    Everly was lost of words.


    How she wished she was invisible...

 Chapter 87 How Will You Make It Up For Me?

    Chapter 87 How Will You Make It Up For Me?


    Was this her real son?


    That was what a son did to his mother?


    Right now, she was even more embarrassing!


    However, she was unwilling to lift the quilt in such a case, even though it was so hot.


    Everly remained unmoved.


    Edmond couldn''t help sigh and turned to Maverick with a faint smile, "Sir, my mommy doesn''t usually


    act like this. Please forgive her. Anyway, she is injured."


    Maverick looked at Edmond.


    He must admit that this boy was very likable.


    Was it because that he had epted Everly?


    Edmond was the child of Everly and another man. Candy was the same, wasn''t it?


    He should not be overbearing and close-minded. Men and women should be treated equally.


    "You are right." Maverick reached out his hand, wanted to touch Edmond''s head, but he didn''t really do


    it. He was still a little embarrassed.


    He used to keep a distance and therefore not many people could get close to him. Such action was


    more than natural to him if it was his daughter. While when it came to another child, it might not be


    easy.


    Edmond had no idea of the twists and turns that Maverick had.


    He was just happy to find that his mommy not only knew Uncle Handsome but they seemed to have a


    good rtionship.


    "I am young, but I am smart!" Edmond thought.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    For example, he knew that he should make time for his mommy and Uncle Handsome now.


    Furthermore, the reason why his mommy would act like that was just that she was shy.


    If Mommy liked Uncle Handsome, he should add fuel to the fire, right?


    He believed Uncle Handsome will be his daddy anyway. He should give them some private time.


    These were all learned from TV dramas.


    In those dramas, both Mommy and Daddy would sleep on the same bed, and their children would sleep


    in another room.


    Edmond thus said all at once, "Sir, can you help me take care of Mommy? I want to go to the


    bathroom."


    Everly remained silent.


    My son, you juste out from the bathroom!


    "Of course," replied Maverick.


    "Thanks, Sir. I need to solve a big problem, so it may need some time."


    "It doesn''t matter. Take your time."


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    So Edmond went to the bathroom, bringing his phone. With the door locked, Everly found that she


    could no longer go on.


    Even though she was hiding under the quilt, she could feel that someone had fixed his eyes on her.


    She couldn''t figure out what to do as her mind was in a mess. The only thing in her blurry memory was


    that she stuck to Maverick and continued to ask for sex initiatively in the bathroom.


    Everly gave herself a silent sigh.


    She wanted to disappear!


    Or just y dead?


    What exactly should she do?


    "Are you going to stay there for the rest of your life?"


    Maverick seemed to have moved closer as the stool squeaked, "Even your son can''t bear your stupid


    way of hiding. Juste out as I am asking."


    Everly was speechless.


    As he was asking?


    It was what it was, but it was all because of him, wasn''t it?


    And now, he was teasing her!


    Thinking this, Everly was angry and annoyed. Feeling really ufortable with the quilt, she finally


    came out.


    For a moment, Everly thought that she should just go ahead regardless. What happened yesterday ...


    was out of a special reason. She would be able to get over it!


    But sometimes things go contrary to wishes. At the moment she came into contact with his meaningful


    eyes, she immediately blushed.


    She held the quilt tightly with both hands.


    It was just that her hair was messy after being covered by the quilt. In addition, her face was pale white


    since she had just woken up not long ago. But as her face reddened, she somewhat looked like a sickly


    beauty.


    Maverick was resigned to realize that he found her interesting in all the way she was.


    And he wanted her so much.


    He was surprised that he had begun to take what Levi had said into serious consideration.


    He had never thought about how possessive he would be. No one had stimted the possessiveness


    deep in his heart before.


    But now he had gradually understood that he had an almost uncontroble desire for Everly.


    Otherwise, in no way would he buy LAL and appointed her to be his secretary and took her on every


    business trip.


    Everything perfectly exined that he had been longing for her to stay within his line of sight from the


    start.


    Maverick didn''t say anything but was just staring at her in a sexy way.


    Everly couldn''t help think that this man was way too much cheeky than she could be.


    She said stiffly, "What ... what are youing here for?"


    With his eyes full of affection, Maverick deliberately approached her, even though they were already


    very close at first. In such close distance, Everly deeply felt that his male hormones were putting her


    heartbeat out of control.


    "What do you think? What abouting here for... you?"


    It was not until two secondster did Everly understand that she was taken advantage of by him


    verbally. Being afraid that Edmond woulde to hear this, she gritted her teeth and said with a


    blushed face, "Maverick, don''t be a jerk!"


    "Why didn''t you say so when you used me yesterday?" He raised his hand and waved it gently in front


    of her, "You''re burning bridges, Ms. Ungrateful."


    His fingers were clean and slender.


    The joints were distinct. The sunlight just slipped through the window and perfectlynded on his


    fingers, as if they were emitting a faint light.


    Everly didn''t even know how to describe her feelings at this moment.


    His fingers... kept reminded her of something.


    Too evil.


    All she wanted now was to p his hand away, "You! Don''t you dare to mention what happened before!


    I ... I was in a special situation, and you could refuse at that time! Were you drugged? You didn''t say


    no!"


    What a fiercedy!


    Just like a kitten that had been teased excessively.


    And the ws could not even hurt anybody for real.


    Maverick looked into her eyes and couldn''t help lean slightly closer to her, "Yeah, you drugged me. So


    how will you make it up for me?"

 Chapter 88 Sir, Except for Candy, Can you Protect Mommy?

    Chapter 88 Sir, Except for Candy, Can you Protect Mommy?


    Was he ... flirting with her now?


    Everly felt that she should blow her top, or at least give him some scolding.


    But she just couldn''t spit it out when she was about to say something.


    Maverick maintained stock-still, having Everly dare not to move either.


    It was quite tiring to keep supporting that way.


    Something between them seemed to have changed.


    It was just like... they hadpletely known each other.


    This sounded weird. But as for the fact that she had a five-year-old son, he seemed not to mind it at all.


    Sometimes, Everly was confused about what Maverick was thinking.


    By the way, when was he going to let go of her?


    She couldn''t bear it anymore. Just as she was about to retreat, Maverick directly grabbed her shoulder


    to stop her from going away.


    Everly blinked her eyes.


    Maverick put on a serious face, "Pretended to be asleep and avoided my question, do you know what


    that means?"


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about. I didn''t!"


    Though she didn''t know what he meant, denying would surely be the right thing to do, she thought.


    Everly was flustered at this moment. Therefore, she deliberately avoided eye contact with Maverick.


    "You didn''t what?"


    "Whatever it was, I just didn''t."


    "You just didn''t what?"


    "Are you messing up with me? No matter what you are talking about, I just didn''t do it! Just let go of


    me! This is not what a gentleman should do." Everly tried to push away his hand that was pinching her


    shoulder.


    Maverick took advantage to grasp her hand.


    It happened to be the hand that had been burned by cigarettes. The scar was still there. He lowered his


    eyes, trying to hide the self-usation.


    "Sorry," he said suddenly, "It''s my fault. I shouldn''t have let you get hurt, I will pay attention in the


    future."


    Everly was stunned.


    Maverick seemed to realize something and immediately corrected, "No, not paying attention. Such


    things would never happen again."


    Everly didn''t know what to say. Her wandering eyes had juste to meet with Maverick''s.


    Eyes would not lie, right?


    She had made contact with Maverick for some time. Most of it, she only saw indifference in his eyes. It


    seemed that he was not interested in anything.


    But now he was staring straight at her with persistence and sincerity in his eyes.


    This was the first time that she caught different emotions in his eyes.


    Behind those emotions, there was a familiar face.


    It was her.


    Everly''s heartbeat once again went out of control. She felt she was like being hit by an electric shock or


    something.


    "Does it hurt?" Maverick suddenly asked.


    It was quite a while before she realized that he was asking about the wound on her hand.


    Did it hurt?


    Of course, it did.


    She nodded subconsciously.


    "Are you still afraid?" Maverick rubbed his thumb around her wound.


    With him standing so close to her and asking the questions in such a gentle and lingering way, Everly


    found it hard for her to keep smooth breathing.


    She would subconsciously tell the truth when he asked questions. She must have been bewitched!


    "Not... anymore."


    "Were you scared yesterday?" His fingers had secretlye to her nape and then they softly pinched


    her earlobe.


    Along with a tremble on her body, Everly said in a quivered voice, "A little bit."


    "Everything''s fine. Remember not to go out at night easily. OK?"


    "I ... I was just helping my colleague..."


    Everly suddenly became conscious as she thought of Garry.


    Right, what happenedst night was notpletely over.


    She knew that someone was trying to frame her. If it wasn''t for Garry''s request, she would not have


    gone to that hotelst night.


    It was just that she never expected that it would be Garry that did this.


    As if knowing what she was thinking, Maverick frowned and said in a low voice, "Many people are not


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    as simple as you think they are. What they care about are only the things that they want. But don''t be


    disappointed. What you have gone throughst night was painful but memorable."


    He gently patted her nape, as if he was interacting with his lover.


    However, he soon overturned what he had just said.


    "Well, it doesn''t matter if you don''t want to remember it. Now that you have me, you don''t have to worry


    about it. It won''t happen again."


    "I have never saidfort words to others. I am not sure if I can put you at ease. But you will know that


    I always keep my words. You will be well-protected from now on."


    "Just think seriously about the question and let me know your answer."


    Everly was speechless.


    The question?


    What was the question?


    Everly felt that she had lost the ability tomunicate and think normally.


    ...


    Edmond was ying mobile games in the bathroom.


    He was a little absent-minded since he wanted to know what they were talking about.


    But he did not eavesdrop since he was well-educated and knew that it was wrong to do so.


    After ying several games, there was a knock on the door.


    Hearing this, Edmond immediately jumped off the toilet lid.


    Smart as he did, he deliberately flushed the toilet before pretending to open the door after washing his


    hands.


    Seeing Maverick stood at the door with his hands in his pockets, Edmond put away his phone and


    smiled, "Sir, have you done talking with my mommy?"


    Maverick discovered that Edmond was very independent-minded.


    Strong men would always appreciate each other. Maverick could always see himself as he was little in


    Edmond.


    "Remember that no matter what happens, the most important thing is to protect yourself. You can use a


    different method to prove your innocence instead of using that way."


    Edmond blinked.


    What is he talking about?


    Was he teaching him the methods to protect himself?


    Was he talking about the rat poison?


    Edmond was too young to understand what Maverick was saying. So he tilted its head and asked in a


    low voice, "Sir, what do you mean by that way?"


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, "After Candy mistakenly took the rat poison, you tried to prove yourself


    by drinking the poisoned water. That was unwise. You might have yourself killed and in the meantime,


    did the bad guys a favor."


    Edmond seemed not fully understand. He didn''t reply but asked instead, "Sir, can you defeat the bad


    guys?"


    "I think I can."


    "Sir, except for Candy, can you protect Mommy and me? Then the bad guys won''t dare toe."

 Chapter 89 Will You Be My Daddy?

    Chapter 89 Will You Be My Daddy?


    It seemed that this little thing had been "encouraging" him to marry his Mommy since they met for the


    first time.


    But at that time, he didn''t take it seriously as it was said by a kid.


    But now he realized that Edmond really meant it.


    Edmond was only five years old, so of course he could not understand love.


    Maverick asked him, "Why do you think I can protect your Mommy? If I remember correctly, you asked


    me if I had a girlfriend when you saw me at the airport."


    Edmond remembered this. He replied very seriously, "Because I believe you."


    "What?"


    Edmond knew that Maverick wanted to know the reason.


    But he also couldn''t figure it out.


    It was just a feeling.


    It was indescribable. As a child who could only express himself by simple words, he could only show


    his affection for Maverick via his facial expressions. He could only say he believed Maverick.


    But he had no idea about the reason.


    He couldn''t express himself clearly.


    After a long while, he said, "I believe in you."


    "Believe in me?" Maverick was a little stunned, something rarely urring. Edmond didn''t know him


    very well and they were not very close. But Edmond told himself this.


    These four simple words deeply touched him.


    Even if the speaker was just a child.


    But it was probably because so that it sounded so impressive.


    As an innocent boy, he said this without any ulterior motives.


    For the first time, Maverick felt so proud to be trusted by someone.


    Maverick reached out to gently rubbed Edmond''s head, which was something he had been thinking


    about for a long time. He said, "But you can''t believe whoever you meet. You know that?"


    "But you must be trustworthy." It seemed Edmond wanted to argue with him. Edmond said word by


    word, "I grew up abroad. Kids there all have Daddy and Mommy, but I only have Mommy. They are bad


    kids. They always bully me andugh at me for not having Daddy. When they did so, I would tell them


    that my Daddy was a very powerful man in China."


    He told Maverick with emotions. Hearing this, Maverick felt sorry for him.


    Edmond was well educated and optimistic.


    Now Maverick no longer thought that Edmond was sent by someone to get close to him.


    Children''s eyes were honest. Edmond was honest because the person who brought him up had taught


    him with right values.


    "Your Daddy will be proud of you." Maverick softened.


    "Maverick, will you be my Daddy?"


    The corner of Maverick''s lips curved slightly. Just as he was about to say something, someone


    interrupted him at once, as if she couldn''t bear this conversation anymore, "Edmond, don''t talk about


    nonsense."


    This ward was big, but the poor soundproof doors enabled her to hear their conversation.


    In fact, it wasn''t soundproofed at all.


    Everly had heard all their conversation because they talked at the door of the restroom.


    Of course, she had heard what Edmond had said. In fact, she had wanted to interrupt this conversation


    a long time ago, but she gave up when Edmond talked about his life abroad. She had never known that


    he had suffered derision, she had thought it would happen, though.


    But Edmond looked happy every day. Shepletely forgot something.


    Now she finally realized that she could only be a mother. No matter how much she worked, she


    couldn''t be both his father and mother.


    "Mommy, I didn''t. You see, Maverick also likes you very much."


    Edmond began to act like a "matchmaker". He asked Maverick, "Maverick, how do you think of my


    Mommy?"


    Everly was so embarrassing. How could he ask such a question in front of her?


    She felt too awkward to look at Maverick. She grabbed Edmond and indicated Maverick to leave, "Well,


    didn''t you say you had something else to do? Just go and do it. Edmond talked nonsense. Don''t take it


    seriously."


    Edmond pursed his lips, obviously unhappy about his mother''s words.


    But he couldn''t refute because Everly was staring at him, indicating him not to talk about nonsense


    again.


    He thought to himself, ''Well, maybe Mommy is shy because Maverick is here. Fine!''


    That was why he pretended to be asleep just now.


    Anyway, Edmond felt that it was good that because at least Mommy knew Maverick. Moreover, it


    seemed they were great with each other.


    He could help her Mommy to enhance their rtionshipter.


    Maverick really had something to do. After dealing with things about Levi yesterday, he still got a lot of


    work to do in thepany. Besides, he had to see Candy. So now he had to leave.


    Maverick knew that Everly needed some time to get her mind clear about what had happened these


    two days.


    Since he had decided to marry her, he would make it.


    It was okay with him to give her some time until she said yes.


    When Maverick was leaving, he nced at Everly. Everly''s ears were still red. His eyes deepened.


    Without caring about whether Edmond could understand it or not, he said, "Remember what I said just


    now. Have a good west. I''lle to see you tomorrow."


    Before Everly could say ''You don''t have toe tomorrow'', Maverick had left without looking back.


    She was so nervous and confused. What did he mean?


    He asked her to remember what he had said. What did he just say?


    Edmond was taking a nap on the sofa when Hendrix came. Everly was covering Edmond with a thin


    nket. She gently picked up him, about to put him in bed for a while.


    But Hendrix stepped forward and carried Edmond. He said in a low voice, "I''ll do it."


    After putting Edmond in the bed, Everly said to Hendrix, "Hendrix, let''s go to another room. I have


    something to tell you."


    Hendrix thought that it was because of what had happened before.


    He was thinking of a way to tell Everly that how Levi had been tortured by Maverick.


    But he deserved it. The Eades family wasn''t that powerful. Obviously, Levi was used as a pawn.


    Perhaps Maverick wanted the Kahl family to pay a price by using Levi.


    Levi burned the back of Everly''s hand, and Maverick had someone burn his face.


    He also used cigarette butts, but it hurt Levi in a different part.


    This wound was on the surface. But judging from Levi''s situation, he must have been beaten a lot. He


    looked almost dying.


    Last night, Maverick had someone send Levi to the police station for leakingmercial secrets.


    This was amercial crime case. As a member of LAL, this crime made sense for him.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Maverick wanted to get the Kahl family involved by using this case.


    There was already news spread outside. Maybe some changes would happen in City C in the next few


    days.


    Hendrix was thinking about this, while Everly didn''t care about it.


    She closed the door of the guest room and then said, "Hendrix, when I was on a business trip in


    Weirdale, you told me that you wanted to tell me about the man five years ago. But we didn''t get a


    chance to do it because something happened."

 Chapter 90 The Man Five Years Ago

    Chapter 90 The Man Five Years Ago


    Hendrix was a little surprised, "Now you want to know his identity?"


    All these years, Hendrix had been trying to mention that in an inexplicit way. No matter what, that man


    was Edmond''s father. So Hendrix wanted to know who that man was.


    This was an exnation to Edmond.


    No one would hope he didn''t know his father.


    But Everly always refused to mention it again. Hendrix could understand her. She felt that she was very


    irresponsible back then. Later, she was pregnant. She took pains to decide whether she should give


    birth to the baby.


    It would be ruthless to have an abortion. But if she gave birth to it, it seemed like he couldn''t have


    father love.


    Soon it had been a long time. She didn''t want to know who that man was because she couldn''t face it.


    What kind of man was he? It was a question without an answer to both Edmond and her.


    "Just now..." Everly sighed at the thought of the conversation between Edmond and Maverick, "I think


    I¡¯ve ignored Edmond''s feelings. He must be dying to have a father. After all, he is still a little boy. I can''t


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    avoid that matter anymore."


    "I agree with you. And I support your decision." Hendrix nodded.


    "You told me you knew something, right?"


    "Edmond told me in private that he wanted me to help him find his father. You were so repulsive at that


    time, so I didn''t tell you the details." Hendrix continued, "You were on your business trip when Edmond


    asked me to do that. So I got someone to investigate."


    Everly was quiet for a moment before asking, "What did you get?"


    Hendrix paused for a few seconds before saying, "It''s not good news, but at least there are some clues.


    Many of the staff in that hotel had left. But some cleaners still work there. My men asked a middle-aged


    woman when they investigated it. She said she still remembered something about what happened that


    year."


    "Tell me the details."


    "She said that the woman kept pulling the man. Originally, she had thought that they were young lovers


    who were drunk. Later, they found it was not like that. Because the man looked indifferent and icy. He


    wore a pair of gold-rimmed sses, looking very gentle. At that time, the staff thought that the man


    must have the woman drink. He took her to a room. Andter, she heard the woman saying ... Well,


    You have no idea about what you said?"


    Everly''s face immediately flushed red. She was still very embarrassed even if it was Hendrix.


    "Well ... skip this. Tell me something valuable." She looked away, "You know what I look like when I''m


    drunk."


    "Anyway, judging from the staff¡¯s words, the man was at your age. Now it''s only five years, so maybe


    he is still single."


    Everly could not help but roll her eyes, "Many people get married and even have children in their


    twenties."


    "The staff had worked there for many years, so she had seen many rich people. She said that the man


    looked rich. The watch on his wrist was worth tens of millions."


    Everly frowned, "She is just a cleaner. How could she know famous watches? Maybe it''s a knockoff."


    "It seems you don''t want the man you slept with to be a handsome, rich guy." Hendrixughed.


    "Hendrix!" Everly got embarrassed. "Stop saying that. It''s very embarrassing."


    Hendrix stopped teasing her, "Fine! You are thick-skinned enough to do that. The cleaner said that her


    poor husband liked to study watches. A few years ago, their family had a business in the watch


    industry, but it seemed they declined. Anyway, she wouldn''t lie. It was a diamond watch. She wouldn''t


    mistake it. I went to find the watch she described. Five years ago, a limited edition B series watched did


    hit the market. This one should belong to that series."


    Hendrix took out his phone and showed the picture to Everly.


    "This watch is not on sale now. So I found it quickly. Moreover, only a few pieces came into the market


    back then. Anyway, I can find him."


    Hendrix put away his phone and touched his chin. He smiled and said, "He''s quite rich. To be honest, I


    wanted to buy this watch before, but it was hard to get. Everly, I''m very interested in him now. I must


    find him."


    Everly was speechless, "You are interested in him? Hendrix, pay attention to your words."


    "Hey, don''t be so mean. You want to speak for him just because I said he was a rich single man?"


    "Nonsense!" Everly was not as optimistic as Hendrix. "Things would be difficult if he is rich. There are


    only a few wealthy families in City C, so only a few men can afford such an expensive watch. Moreover,


    some of them are fops and have been engaged. Some of them even already get married and have


    children. Things would be simple if he is an ordinary man, but if he isn''t ... Don''t you worry at all?


    Edmond would be ..."


    An illegitimate boy of a wealthy family.


    Everly felt heartbreaking when she thought that Edmond would be rted to words like that.


    Hendrix didn''t think about this aspect before. But indeed, maybe this would happen.


    He thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "No matter what, we can make decisions after I make


    things clear, okay?"


    Everly nodded.


    She had already thought it over just now. Since it had happened, she couldn''t avoid this anymore.


    So, before making the final decision, she had to know who that man was.


    She told Hendrix to keep it a secret.


    ...


    In Italy.


    Kailey was out to get some sunshine with the help of her servant.


    Now she had to rely on medicine to help her with daily life. But she didn''t care about the life she had


    now.


    She didn''t feel happy.


    Despite being under surveince, she wanted to be alive to do something.


    She hade out from those hard moments, so now, it was time to make those people pay the price.


    Sounds a car engine came from the courtyard.


    Kailey turned to look at the servant who could speak Chinese. Maverick arranged this servant for her.


    The servant bowed and said respectfully, "Madam, it should be Pira."


    Kailey was not surprised, but she frowned slightly.


    The sound of the engine disappeared and soon she heard footsteps approaching from afar.


    Kailey ordered the servants, "Go get the medicine. Come and tell me to take it and have a rest about


    five minutester."


    The servant understood and immediately left.


    From afar, Pira saw Kailey sitting on a wheelchair with her eyes closed, as if she was basking in the


    sun.


    There was a hint of contempt in her eyes. But she put on a sweet smile when she came over. She


    greeted in Chinese, "Kailey."


    Her parents were Chinese and Italian, and she spoke Chinese very well. She knew Maverickter.


    She worked hard to learn Chinese because Maverick didn''t like to speak Italian. Now she was very


    fluent in Chinese.


    "Afternoon." Kailey slowly opened her eyes and smiled at Pira, "How are you these days? Are you


    busy?"


    As she spoke, she raised her wrist to look at her watch. "I''m getting old and dense now. Indeed,


    Maverick is supposed to be back now. But he told me yesterday he couldn''te over. He is busy with


    things in China."

 Chapter 91 MD Zender Hospital

    Chapter 91 MD Zender Hospital


    But Pira didn''t seem to be disappointed. She felt that she had condescended to talk to Kailey, an old


    woman.


    "Kailey, I came to see you. I''m sorry about what happenedst time."


    Her apology sounded hard to ept. Kailey also smiled, "Pira, don''t be. I am just an old woman. How


    can you say sorry to me?"


    An old woman...


    Pira was embarrassed, her makeup still exquisite.


    She thought in her heart, ''Who told this old woman about what I had said. What a gossipmonger!''


    However, her family had provided her aplex environment and enabled her to deal with such an


    awkward situation.


    She stood still, "Kailey, is there any misunderstanding? I''m really sorry about that. I missed Maverick


    too much. You know my feeling for him. But he has seldome back since he brought that boy back


    to China. Aren''t you worried? Maybe he won¡¯te back."


    "He is my son. As his mother, it is reasonable for me to sacrifice myself for him. Even if he leaves me


    here alone, I''m okay with that. After all, I''m just an old woman" Kailey repeated.


    Pira couldn''t hold on.


    She was still less experienced than Kailey.


    When Kailey was her age, she had experienced a lot, instead of just scheming other girls.


    So soon Pira took out a folder.


    She stopped smiling, her voice not sweet at all, "This is thetest news about Maverick. He has not


    done anything under the agreement we made. I''m wondering whether I should tell my father."


    Kailey didn''t see what was inside.


    But she could roughly guess something from Pira''s expression. She sneered, "You want me to have


    Mavericke back by using the same tricks? As an old woman like me, I have a quick piece of


    advice for you."


    Pira pursed her lips.


    Kailey continued with a smile, "What you''ve done won''t work if you want to reach his heart. I think you


    also know my son well. Do you really think he knows nothing about your investigation? Back then, he


    wished that he could leave the Kamo family, despite the cost of getting hurt. Now the financial market in


    Europe and America is under his control. If your father and brother can find his weaknesses, you don''t


    need to use an old woman like me."


    Pira''s face was very ugly.


    Kailey continued, "I will support whatever he does. I stay here only because I am willing to do so."


    At this time, the servant came with the medicine and asked Kailey to take it and have a rest.


    Kailey nodded, then nced at Pira and pointed at the folder, "But I will take a look at this. You see, I


    am old and can''t live for long. I''m wondering how much your brothers would lose if their lifesaver dies. I


    think you''d better note to provoke me frequently. If I die, you would also suffer."


    "You!"


    Pira was furious, but she did not dare to say anything else.


    After all, Kailey was Maverick''s mother.


    She didn''t dare to confront her directly.


    Kailey didn''t give her any nce. She then asked the servant to push her in.


    But her expression changed when she turned around.


    She said that like she didn''t care about the Kamo family.


    But if they really served the tie, Maverick could not deal with them alone without any damage.


    Back then, they had nothing and she was sick. Maverick helped them do a lot of things. Now, the Kamo


    family had something on them. It was just that Pira knew nothing about it.


    That was why Kailey wanted to stay in Italy.


    Of course, besides, she wanted to do more things for Maverick.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    When she was upstairs, the servant came over and told her, "Pira has left. She was furious when she


    left. It seems she won''te over for days."


    Kailey replied and rubbed her temples, "You can go out now. I want to have a rest."


    After the servant left, she took out the folder.


    Inside were photos and some personal files.


    Kailey picked a picture. In the photo, the woman standing next to Maverick ... was the one she had


    seenst time.


    She was a little shocked. She had never seen any women so close to Maverick before.


    No wonder Pira was jealous. From the picture, even she could feel that Maverick treated this woman


    differently.


    There were documents about the woman.


    With the help of the powerfulwork Pira''s family, Pira got first-hand information.


    It was very detailed.


    Kailey soon found that this woman was called Everly, 26 years old. She used to work in LAL in the


    United States, a very simple woman.


    But she had a five-year-old son.


    And he was born in the US.


    Kailey kept reading and her eyesnded on the name of a hospital.


    It was called MD Sen De Hospital.


    This hospital...


    Kailey was slightly shocked. She had seen it somewhere before, but it was very hazy to her now. She


    failed in trying to recall it.


    She calmed herself down and put this aside. Then, she continued reading.


    Following was the introduction about Everly in China, including Everly''s ex-boyfriend. Kailey''s eyes


    fixed on the information. She at first thought that she had seen the wrong name.


    Lucas?


    The son of the Bevell family?


    But Pira didn''t find out about the one-night affair between Maverick and Everly five years ago. So they


    could not figure out anything just from this information.


    Kailey did not take it seriously.


    Maverick always knew what he was doing. If that woman had a rtionship with Lucas, Maverick would


    also know it. That woman and he were not right for each other. After all, she had a son, Maverick had a


    daughter, though.


    For parents, it was okay with them if their sons had affairs or something, but they couldn''t stand it if


    their daughter-inw did.


    Kailey was just like other parents.


    But now, it was too early for thinking about this.


    She did not take it too seriously and locked the folder into a drawer.

 Chapter 92 He Develops Love for Her in Such a Short Time

    Chapter 92 He Develops Love for Her in Such a Short Time


    Maverick went to another hospital.


    It took him some time. He didn''t go to Lamont because he needed to show up and sign a contract.


    With Everly being hospitalized, Jayden came back to take over the job.


    But Maverick did not approve of Everly''s resignation. With Jaydening back, now Everly''s work had


    been done well. Jayden could do two jobs well at the same time.


    Jayden was in the passenger seat, holding a tablet. He said to Maverick, "Mr. Maverick, we only find a


    few clues. But someone used the number that Miley used before to contact Levi. Levi did not get any


    money. I think it was just his matter. He has been interested in Miss Everly before."


    "Miley?"


    "Are you sure?" Maverick frowned.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    "Someone used her number. If we follow this clue, it was indeed Miley."


    Maverick lowered his eyes, his slender fingers tapping his knees, silent.


    Jayden skipped this and added, "But Levi indeed is somewhat involved with the Rice family. Now the


    Kahl family is involved. Should we suppress this matter? About the thing happening in Weirdale, it


    seemed Den went to see Jenson before. I don''t think they would retaliate against Miss Everly. That''s


    stupid. I think it¡¯s most likely Miley and Carolina."


    Of course Jayden had thought of this.


    But no matter it was Miley or Carolina, Maverick would make them suffer.


    ...


    "That night, Everly went to the hotel because someone asked her to do so. Go investigate who this


    person is."


    Jayden nodded.


    Maverick pinched his nose bridge. Suddenly he thought of something and said, "Candy looks fine now.


    It''s time to ask Carolina to leave. She has been staying with Candy all these years."


    He pondered for a moment and added, "About what I told you before, you can start now."


    "Mr. Maverick, now?" Jayden was surprised.


    "It''s time."


    Jayden knew Maverick''s original n. Miley and Carolina were just a cover-up. No matter they stayed


    beside Maverick or not, Maverick wouldn''t be bothered.


    But for Jenson, it was different. He was reassured if they stayed beside Maverick. He thought there


    was a marriage rtionship.


    In fact, Maverick had a n.


    City C was a big city. Before he could deal with Miley and Carolina, he had to take down a family.


    Now something changed. And Jayden knew the reason.


    "Mr. Maverick, well, I''m wondering if I should say that, but ..."


    Maverick looked up at Jayden who looked hesitating. He knew what Jayden was thinking because


    Jayden had followed him for many years.


    Maverick''s eyebrows moved slightly, his voice colder. "Then don''t."


    Jayden''s expression changed and he hurriedly apologized, "I''m sorry Mr. Maverick. I shouldn''t have


    said that."


    "Mind your business."


    They arrived at the entrance of the hospital. Maverick thought of something when he got out of the car.


    He turned to the side and said to Jayden who was in the passenger seat with a somewhat annoyed


    expression, "If my mother asks you something, you know how to reply?"


    Jayden knew very well about Maverick. He immediately nodded, not daring to say anything else.


    Jayden could not help but sigh after Maverick left.


    Previously, he was wondering whether he should tell Maverick that Everly had a five-year-old son. At


    that time, he thought that Everly might have ulterior motives.


    But now it seemed he overthought it.


    Maverick had power and money.


    If he cared about what had happened to Everly, he wouldn''t allow Everly to reach his heart.


    It seemed everything had been settled.


    Maverick had known that. But so what?


    If it wasn''t Everly''s son, Maverick wouldn''t be so quiet when he saw Candy was injured.


    He even thought that there were people behind this.


    All of this was because of Everly...


    From an unknown moment, Everly had made Maverick deeply be in love with her.


    But Jayden found it strange.


    In the past, Maverick was not too close to women.


    Was Everly really that special?


    Maverick had developed strong feelings for her in less than two months.


    ...


    Candy was still in the hospital.


    She almost recovered but still had to stay in the hospital. As a little girl, she couldn''t hold on to this


    boring hospital life anymore.


    When Maverick was not here, she always tried to make noise. Miley came to see her today to pretend


    to be nice to her, but Candy was too naughty.


    Now only Candy and Miley were in the ward. Candy was jumping up and down. It seemed the rat


    medicine didn''t bother her at all now. She looked energetic, but Miley felt it was so noisy.


    She would secretly pinch Candy when Candy took no notice of her.


    At the very beginning, Candy didn''t feel the pain. But it hurt when Miley kept pinching her more times.


    So Candy began to cry.


    This further annoyed Miley. Just as she was about to scold Candy, sounds came from her phone. It


    was from her men, informing her that Maverick wasing.


    She immediately acted in a gentle way.


    "Sweetie, what''s wrong? Did you run into something? Are you hungry? I will get you something good to


    eat. Okay?"


    Candy was already a five-year-old girl. So she could tell whether one was good to her or not.


    She could tell that Miley treated her not as well as Carolina did.


    Miley asked her what was wrong after she pinched her on her arm.


    "Don''t you know it? You just hit me." Candy sneezed and cried.


    Mileyughed. "Candy, you can''t talk nonsense. How could I do that to you? You misunderstand me. I


    must have touched you too hard. I''m sorry. I will make you better, okay?"


    "Go away. Don''t hug me. I don''t like you!"


    Miley thought that Maverick must almost be at the door, so she immediately rubbed her eyes red with


    her hands, looking pitiful. She said like a good actor, "Candy, I know you don''t like me. But I like you.


    What do you want to eat? Last time, you said that you wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, right?


    So I asked your favorite chef to prepare it for you today. I even bought your favorite limited-edition


    Barbie doll."


    Hearing there was food and toy, Candy''s face changed. After all, she was still a child.


    " ... But ... Carolina said I can''t eat that now."


    "Don''t worry. What I brought was specially cooked for you. You can eat it. You see, I treat you very well,


    right?"


    Candy thought for a while and gave in, "I want to eat it."


    "Alright, I''ll get someone to send it over immediately."


    A click at the door came just as she finished speaking. Then footsteps followed in.


    Candy''s eyes shed and she quickly jumped down.


    Seeing this, Miley bent down in Candy''s direction naturally. Candy didn''t think too much about it. Soon


    she staggered and was about to fall.


    But Miley ran quickly and received Candy with her entire body.


    She even looked nervous, "Candy, are you alright?"

 Chapter 93 Edmond Is Not a Mad Child

    Chapter 93 Edmond Is Not a Mad Child


    Maverick saw this "moving" picture as he came in.


    ...


    Miley and Carolina were not very smart girls.


    But Miley was better than Carolina.


    Miley told people what she wanted through her expression.


    "Dad!"


    Seeing Maverick, Candypletely ignored Miley. She pped Miley several times on the face with


    her little hands. Then she stood up and ran to Maverick, with her cute tushy moving.


    Miley''s exquisite makeup waspletely ruined.


    But she dared not to show any anger or something else as Maverick was here.


    Carolina was stunned that Maverick didn''t praise Miley for her "care" for Candy just now.


    But to them, Maverick was always an indifferent man.


    So Miley did not try to project herself.


    She stood up and walked to Maverick. She asked out of politeness, "Is Candy okay?"


    Maverick didn''t look at her at all. He only stroked Candy''s hair, "I heard that you felt very boring here."


    Candy pouted her lips and mumbled, "Dad, can I go home? I don''t want to be in the hospital. I¡¯ve


    recovered now."


    "Okay." Maverick agreed at once, "I will take you home if the doctor says you can."


    "Really? That''s great!" Candy was very happy. She put Maverick''s face in her hand and kissed him.


    As she kissed Maverick, she saw a shallow scratch on Maverick¡¯s chin from the corner of her eye.


    Candy didn¡¯t know what caused it. One couldn''t see it if Maverick didn''t raise his head.


    Now Candy saw it clearly because Maverick raised his chin.


    Candy cried at once because she thought Maverick was injured, "Dad, what''s wrong? There is a


    scratch here. It''s bleeding."


    Maverick raised his eyebrows andforted her, "I''m fine. I identally got hurt."


    "What? But you seem to have bled. Dad, who hurt you?"


    Candy tried to figure it out, which warmed Maverick. The cause of the scratch was obvious.


    The culprit was a woman''s nails.


    And only one woman could do this to him.


    Maverick said, "I was caught by a kitten."


    When he said this, his tone was inexplicably soft.


    Candy couldn''t grasp the real meaning. She really thought it was a kitten. Her big eyes suddenly lit up,


    "kitten? Where? I like kittens so much. I want a kitten."


    Maverick broke into augh, "It''s still a stray one"


    "Then how about we get it home and raise it?"


    "Alright."


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    "When?"


    "Well, you have to wait a little longer."


    "Why?"


    Maverick thought about it and said meaningfully, "It¡¯s a little stray cat, which is hard to domesticate. It


    takes time. When it bes docile, we can bring it home."


    To Candy, her father had always been someone stronger than Superman.


    She thought what Maverick said was right.


    Moreover, the kindergarten teacher had said before that stray cats needed to be vinated. And she


    was most afraid of needles.


    She thought to herself, '' Daddy is right. I can y with it at home when it is tamed.''


    Candy smiled with her eyes curved up, "Daddy, you have to hurry up. I want to y with it."


    That pretty face urred in Maverick''s mind.


    He thought of her clean eyes. For some reason, he felt that they were very simr to Candy''s.


    Perhaps it was because ... the more he looked at them, the more pleasing they became.


    But her eyes were also stubborn, which impelled him to conquer them.


    Maverick became even more gentle. He rocked Candy in his arms gently, his eyes soft. Miley was so


    jealous when she saw this.


    Maverick was really good-looking.


    He was so attractive that Carolina and Miley, the two arrogant sisters,peted at the cost of their


    rtionship to be his wife.


    It was understandable that Maverick was gentle to his daughter.


    But why...


    Miley thought to herself, ''Why did Maverick stay together with Everly? Why can''t I be together with


    Maverick?''


    ''Kitten?''


    ''Candy couldn''t know anything. But I did.''


    ''The scratch was obviously made by a woman''s nail. And the hurting part is in the chin. It must be...''


    ''Maverick kissed Everly. ''


    Miley was so jealous she was almost mad.


    Why was it Everly?


    She could take it well if it was Carolina.


    But Everly had nothing attractive.


    Maverick was leaving with Candy in his arms. Seeing this, Miley immediately followed him without


    thinking. But someone knocked on the door when she just reached the door.


    Maverick stopped for a while. Before Miley could speak, the person outside said, "Miss Miley, the food


    you asked me to prepare is ready. Can Ie in now?"


    Miley realized that she had promised Candy to get her sweet and sour ribs.


    But she hadn''t told the chef yet.


    Why someone brought it here so quickly?


    But she thought maybe because it was lunchtime. She immediately let the person outsidee in


    when she realized Maverick was here. She said to Maverick, "Maverick, Candy just said that she


    wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. So I got the chef to prepare it. I''ve asked the doctor. Now


    Candy has almost recovered, so she can eat it."


    Maverick did not speak.


    Hearing the name of the dish, Candy was so excited. She immediately hugged Maverick''s neck and


    acted like a spoiled child, "Daddy, I want to eat it."


    "Alright." Maverick held her back to the living room in the ward.


    Miley was happy. At least she could have lunch with Maverick.


    She got someone to bring the dishes in, and she followed them into the room.


    After the three of them sat down, the delivery man put the dishes on the table. It seemed they had just


    been cooked, looking very delicious.


    Seeing all of the dishes were her favorites, Candy was very happy. She picked up her chopsticks.


    But Maverick patted her on the shoulder. "Good girl, wash your hands first."


    So Candy ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.


    Miley stroked her long hair, trying to be attractive, "Maverick, have you investigated that? I''m really


    worried. Hope that mad child won¡¯t do anything to hurt Candy anymore."


    She was talking about Edmond.


    Maverick raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say something, Candy ran over. She shouted


    angrily, with her hands on her waist, "Edmond isn''t a mad child! He is like a brother to me. I like him


    very much. I want Edmond to be my biological brother!"

 Chapter 94 Dad, Save Me

    Chapter 94 Dad, Save Me


    Miley stiffened. Candy''s words hit her face, and she was embarrassed.


    Everly seduced Maverick, and now Candy was hooked by Edmond.


    Everly and Edmond were quite scheming.


    They yed so many tricks. It was no wonder that Carolina was no match for Everly.


    Maverick gestured Candy toe.


    Candy showed a bit of displeasure on her face. As a child, Candy wore her emotions on her face.


    Candy disliked Carolina, but she didn''t hate Miley. However, because Miley had spoken ill of Edmond,


    Candy felt that it was necessary to exin it to Maverick.


    Candy ran over and reached out to circle Maverick''s neck. She sat on Maverick''s thigh and blinked,


    "Papa, I''m ill because bad people want to harm me. It is not Edmond''s fault. Don''t me him."


    Maverick felt very happy when he heard Candy say this."


    "Yes, I know. Let''s eat first."


    When Maverick said this, Miley''s heart sank. Miley had made many efforts to get Maverick. How could


    Maverick ept Everly when he knew that she had a child with another man?


    Miley couldn''t understand. The jealousy in her heart was boiling, making her unable to control her


    emotions. Miley tried to suppress her grievance but failed. Miley asked, "Maverick, do you think that


    Everly has no ill intentions? Her son, did he not deliberately approach you?"


    Maverick did not look at her, but after pondering for a moment, he asked coldly, "How do you know that


    she has ulterior motives?"


    Miley said, "Has she? Maverick, don''t be confused by her appearance. A woman with a five-year-old


    son, she is not worthy of you!"


    Candy swallowed the food in her mouth and frowned slightly.


    She felt that it tasted a little strange.


    Although it was delicious, it tasted a little different from what she had eaten before. She felt that it was


    quite strange, but she didn''t think much and said, "Miley, you can''t say that about Miley. Edmond''s


    mother is very kind."


    Miley retorted, "Candy, you are so little. How do you know that she is nice? Everly and Edmond want to


    take over your father!"


    Maverick mmed his chopsticks on the table with displeasure in his eyes. "Miss Miley, I allow you to


    be here because you are a member of the Kahl family. Why do you think you are qualified to speak ill of


    them?"


    Miley was furious.


    Why?


    Because she was a member of the Kahl family.


    All the rich and powerful families in City C were interwoven with each other.


    People like them had no right to yearn for love.


    They were all victims of the interests of their families.


    If they could choose, everyone wanted to be the most outstanding one.


    Maverick was the one standing at the top of the pyramid.


    But his foundation was family interests.


    "Maverick, I did it for you. We know each other well. I know that you are unhappy that Carolina and I


    investigated Everly, but we won''t harm you. Besides, Everly is Hendrix''s sister, a man you don''t know


    well. Haven''t you doubted that he will use Everly to take over your business?" "


    Maverick raised a brow and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer: "So you think I''m


    ipetent?"


    Miley was stunned and exined, "No, Maverick, you know that''s not what I meant."


    Maverick didn''t want to waste time on Miley, but now was not the time to punish her.


    "If you have the time to worry about me, why don''t you care more about yourself? If I remember


    correctly, I wasn''t immediately informed about Candy''s ident."


    Miley''s expression changed. "Maverick, this has nothing to do with me. I didn''t know at that time."


    "Is that so?"


    "I didn''t lie to you. I have no ill intentions towards Candy. You know, I..."


    "Dad..." Before Miley could finish her words, Candy, who was beside them, suddenly let out a muffled


    groan. The chopsticks fell to the ground with a snap. Her face was pale, and her lips almost lost all


    color in an instant. Candy was throttling her neck with her little chubby hands, and her face was full of


    pain. "Dad, I feel horrible... "


    Maverick''s expression changed.


    He seemed to understand something in an instant.


    Maverick hugged Candy. Without hesitation, he pinched Candy''s chin and reached out his hand to pick


    Candy''s throat.


    The next second, Candy, whose face was full of tears and pale, vomited.


    She spewed like she wanted to spit out all the food she had just eaten.


    However, Maverick did not stop. He immediately stood up and pressed the bell. Miley was stupefied.


    He grabbed her by the cor and threw her hard against the wall. "What did you give her?"


    Miley didn''t know it and was frightened by Candy''s situation.


    Maverick asked in a cold voice.


    Miley could not answer at once.


    However, Maverick did not waste any more time on her. He pushed her into the room at the side and


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    closed the door, locking it from the outside.


    Miley reacted and wanted to open the door, but it was futile.


    "Maverick, you have misunderstood me. I didn''t harm Candy. Open the door and listen to me."


    "Shut up. If you say another word, I will throw you out of the window right now. You''d better pray that


    Candy is fine. Otherwise, I will not let the Kahls off." Maverick''s eye expression was cold.


    The doctor rushed over.


    After Candy vomited, there was foam at the corner of her mouth. Her chubby face seemed to have


    be angr.


    But Maverick knew the reason, so when the doctor was doing the examination, Maverick suppressed


    the pain in his heart and said, "Have her stomach pumped. She should be allergic. Candy can''t eat


    tomatoes. Once she eats it, she''ll be seriously allergic."


    Candy had it once when she was very little. At that time, the allergy was so serious that her throat was


    full of blisters. She was under three years old then. At that time, she was learning how to speak and


    didn''t know that she shouldn''t speak when her throat was sore. During the convalescence, Maverick


    would stay with Candy if he wasn''t upied.


    Maverick wasn''t allergic to tomatoes.


    But Candy was very allergic to it.


    Maverick thought that perhaps Candy took it from her mother.


    Miley, who was separated by the door, heard this.


    Miley subconsciously looked at the dishes on the table. In a panic, she thought of something and took


    out her phone.


    She wanted to call Carolina, but on second thought, she decided to call Jenson.


    As soon as the call connected, Miley was about to cry. "Dad, save me, I, I am locked up, in the


    hospital... "

 Chapter 95 Edmond Has the Same Birthday as Me

    Chapter 95 Edmond Has the Same Birthday as Me


    Miley wasn''t stupid enough to think that there was a misunderstanding after such a thing happened.


    Someone was trying to frame her.


    The person that knew Candy was allergic to tomatoes could only be Carolina.


    She dared to frame her openly.


    Miley quickly realized that they did not get the best result from Everly''s matter, so Maverick might


    punish themter. Miley reckoned Carolina managed to make her a scapegoat.


    Being angry and anxious, she wanted to call Carolina immediately. However, it was indeed


    inappropriate at this time. Miley knew that in the Kahl family, her father preferred her, so he contacted


    Jenson.


    The Kahl family wouldn''t decline easily because of Maverick.


    ***


    Something that Miley could think of, Maverick would also take into consideration.


    In front of him, Miley would not give Candy something that she was allergic to. She wasn''t that stupid.


    Combined with the various problems that Everly had, Maverick easily figured out Miley was framed.


    However, it wasn''t a very smart method.


    This person knew him very well and guessed that he cared about Candy so much.


    That was correct. If someone did something to harm Candy, he would not show mercy to them.


    Previously, that person had the same idea when harming Edmond.


    However, unexpectedly, when Maverick faced Everly and Edmond, he chose to calm down first.


    And now, this person took advantage of Candy once again.


    Maverick knew that Miley and Carolina would ask Jenson for help this time, so he could handle all


    things at a time.


    However, Candy was not seriously ill.


    Fortunately, she did not eat too much. In addition, Maverick found out quickly and made her vomit


    almost all the things Candy ate. Then, her whole body had rashes.


    Of course, it was very itchy and needed some time to recover.


    This time, Candy didn''t need to go to Kindergarten, and Maverick was also worried about letting her


    stay in the hospital.


    Therefore, after checking and making sure that there were no other problems, he immediately sent her


    to the vi.


    Carolina, who had rushed over after hearing the news, wanted toe over to show her concern, but


    she didn''t expect that Maverick''s bodyguards directly shut her out.


    Carolina stood awkwardly at the door, looking at the vi. In the past, she felt that she would one day


    live in this ce and be the real mistress.


    However, it didn''t matter. She would get what she wanted.


    Now, the responsibility fell on Miley''s shoulders. Maverick must have been in a rage, and it was


    reasonable for him to treat her like this.


    Later, the Kahl family would sacrifice Miley if she and her father put pressure on Miley.


    After everything was settled, she could return to her original position.


    Thinking about this, Carolina felt better although being turned away.


    However, Candy was bored at home, so Maverick did not go to thepany and tried to apany


    his daughter.


    Although he did not leave the house, Maverick asked Jayden to prepare.


    On the third day after the incident, some tforms kept posting about the chaotic private life that Miss


    Miley had when she was studying abroad.


    It had been a few years, so the photo was not particrly clear.


    In addition, in the past few years, retouching technology continued to evolve, coupled with women''s


    makeup, so people could not tell whether it was Miley or Carolina just from the photos.


    This kind of post was like a celebrity cheating or taking drugs. In the beginning, people didn''t pay much


    attention. When more and more posts were spread, it soon became widely discussed.


    Besides, both Miss Carolina and Miss Miley were true socialitedies.


    At school, thedy of the Kahl family was so open in her twenties, changing boyfriends frequently,


    throwing parties, and inviting lots of guys.


    However, the identities of those men were not very glorious. Some of the people in the entertainment


    circle were famous for being taken over by the unspoken rules. Some of them were specialized male


    prostitutes. It was easy to imagine how bad their reputation was.


    When this post was released, Everly was just about to get out of the hospital.


    Hendrix picked up his phone, looked through something twice, and smiled meaningfully.


    Everly was still tidying up her clothes. When she saw her brother holding his phone, she didn''t know


    what he wasughing about. She asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"


    "Didn''t you y with your phone in the hospital?"


    "It is broken. I have to repair it after I leave the hospital today. The card is the same."


    Hendrix raised his eyebrow. "This time, Maverick was giving you enough face."


    Everly had not seen Maverick for several days. She was in the hospital, so she did not need to go to


    thepany. In the past few days, she had submitted her resignation report and was waiting for


    Maverick''s approval. She had started to find otherpanies to apply for a job.


    That day, the words Maverick said to her when she left were always lingering in her ears like magic.


    If it was destined to be something without good results, she did not want to waste time.


    Because for herself, it was a game that she could not afford to y.


    Suppressing the unnecessary thoughts in her mind, Everly asked inadvertently, "What do you mean by


    giving face to me?"


    "Maverick put all the me on the Kahl family for your injury this time. After all, even if Levi was


    crippled, it would not be enough to vent his anger. Moreover, we all thought that these things were


    caused by the Kahl family. I thought that he would endure it, but I did not expect that he took action so


    fast."


    Hearing this, Everly''s heart started beating faster.


    However, there were many things that the bystanders could see clearly. Hendrix felt that everything


    Maverick had done was for his sister. Previously, he was somewhat worried about whether Maverick


    treated Everly sincerely. Now, it seemed that he was thinking too much.


    It was not difficult for someone like Maverick to get a woman.


    Thus, there was no need for him to target Everly.


    Unless he truly loved her.


    "Hendrix, don''t think too much. He didn''t do it for me."


    Everly retorted in a low voice, "This time, the Kahl family hurt Maverick''s daughter. Doesn''t he treasure


    his child? I think he did all these things just for the sake of his daughter."


    Hendrix smiled. "Don''t underestimate yourself too much. You don''t know how miserable Levi is."


    "How is he now?"


    "I have told you," Hendrix put away the phone, thought for a moment, and said, "Levi''s matter is now


    handed over to the police. I am not going to sue him for rape in our name, but the crime Maverick


    used is enough for him to suffer. It may be rted to a project of Lamont Group. You are still


    Maverick''s secretary. Didn''t you follow the project of Weirdale?"


    "Weirdale?" Everly thought of that trap of banquet.


    There had been too many things that happened recently. When she heard Hendrix say this, she


    remembered, "Yes, I think it''s Den''s scheme. But in Weirdale, those people didn''t get any benefits. I


    heard Maverick called the police at that time. What''s wrong?"


    Hendrix said, "The project in Weirdale was under the charge of Maverick before. It was halfway


    through. The project was also quite big and used a lot of Lamont Group''s capital, and the interest of the


    bank loan was very high. You have seen the materials, so you should know this. At that time, the


    project was finalized by all board of directors. It was the most important project in the second half of the


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    year. I heard that Den was indeed engaged in this project. Now, he seemed to have called for a stop


    midway. The Kahl family and the Rice family had been in contact in private. This time, Maverick had put


    the two families together. At that time, City C would be in great turmoil."


    He stroked his chin and sighed, "I''m quite dissatisfied with the rich second generation. However,


    Maverick really impressed me. He is decisive in his work. I just don''t know if the Kahl family will


    interfere? I don''t think marriage will work this time."


    Everly was stunned by Hendrix''s words, but she still found the key point, "What does Weirdale''s project


    have to do with Levi? Levi is the manager of LAL."


    "Isn''t LAL a branch of Lamont Group?"


    "So what?"


    "Taking advantage of this project, Maverick might punish Levi, even the Rice family or the Kahl family."


    Everly was lost for words.


    That project was so big. Maverick did not need to do like this just because of Levi, did he?


    Although that project indeed coborated with Den, and if they did something covertly, the Rice


    family would also be unable to get any benefits from it.


    Everly felt a little worried.


    Sometimes, she felt that she was too kind.


    However, she thought no one''s money was made easily.


    After she was discharged from the hospital, she wanted to contact Maverick many times to ask about


    Levi.


    However, before she could get in touch with Maverick, Maverick''s daughter took the initiative to call.


    It was the fifth day when Everly didn''t contact Maverick. She did not go to Lamont Group either,


    because it was a weekend.


    At 2 p. m. on Sunday, Edmond held her new phone with a face full of excitement. "Mommy, Candy is


    calling. Can I go and see her? She is sick."


    Everly was sorting out some information on theputer. Her ount was also logged in, and she


    was chatting with Beth.


    Beth was still in Lamont Group at the moment, while she had been thinking about quitting before.


    "Maverick''s daughter?"


    "Yes." Edmond shoved the phone into Everly''s hand. "Mommy, Candy is cute and beautiful. I want her


    to be my little sister. And it''s too coincidental. She invited me to her birthday party next Sunday, the


    same birthday as mine!"

 Chapter 96 Do You Miss Me?

    Chapter 96 Do You Miss Me?


    The same birthday?


    Everly thought it might be fate. Her son''s birthday was the same day as Maverick''s daughter''s.


    An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.


    Sometimes the more one tried to distance herself, the more things went wrong.


    Then, she would get stuck in it.


    The phone was still on. It was not impolite not to refuse the phone. However, Everly hadn''t met this little


    girl on the other end of the line.


    Thinking about the ambivalent behaviors she had with Candy''s father, Everly''s hands trembled when


    she took the phone.


    Her heart was also trembling.


    However, Edmond was standing right in front of her. Hisrge eyes were filled with anticipation as he


    stared at her. Everly felt helpless.


    After adjusting her emotions, she answered the phone and said, "Hello." She thought that something


    was wrong and immediately changed her tone, "Is that Candy? I am Edmond''s mom."


    She felt that she had deliberately softened her voice.


    Everly wasn''t deliberately trying to gain a favorable impression, but she felt that the girl was so little that


    her tone couldn''t be too stiff.


    However, after she finished speaking, the other side was quiet and there was no response.


    Everly suspected that the signal was bad, so she checked her phone.


    What was going on?


    Didn''t the phone get through?


    She ced the phone next to her ear again and said, "Hello? Is that Candy? I am Edmond''s mother.


    Do you have something to tell me? I am listening."


    "Not Candy. I have something to tell you."


    On the other side of the line, a low male voice suddenly sounded. Everly was stunned for a moment,


    and her hand trembled. She almost dropped her phone.


    Edmond was still sitting in front of the table when a message from Beth popped up on theputer.


    However, Everly was not in the mood to see what Beth said.


    At this time, Edmond was winking at Everly and whispering, "Mommy, did Candy say anything?"


    Everly''s mouth twitched slightly. She pressed the microphone on her phone and said in a low voice,


    "It''s Mr. Maverick. Go to y."


    She did not want to lie to her son.


    Moreover, Edmond knew that she was familiar with Maverick.


    As expected, when he heard that Maverick and Everly wanted to talk, Edmond couldn''t be clever and


    ran into his room.


    Just as Everly hesitated and was about to speak, Edmond, who had just run into the room, ran out


    again.


    He moved closer to Everly and shouted at the phone, "Mr. Maverick, go out with my mommy. I am on


    your side!"


    Everly was lost for words.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She didn''t have time to hang up on her phone. Maverick must have heard Edmond''s words.


    He had never felt that his son was so biased toward outsiders before.


    Everly became embarrassed, and all kinds of emotions rushed up. She red at her son, but Edmond


    chuckled and immediately ran into the room.


    Everly could do nothing but quickly say to Maverick, "He talked nonsense. Please don''t mind."


    Maverick seemed to be silent for a moment, then said in a rather serious tone, "I am a serious person. I


    will take what others say to me seriously."


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    Her eyebrows rose in surprise. Fortunately, they were talking on the phone and could not see each


    other''s expressions. She pretended to be calm and said, "He just thinks that you are good-looking."


    "Do you think your son is like you?" Maverick suddenly asked.


    Everly was stunned and immediately said, "Of course."


    Maverick quietly set a trap for her, "You said that your son is a face-judger, so you should be the same."


    Everly was lost for words again.


    "So do you like me better than anyone else?"


    Everly could not help but ask, "Mr. Maverick, my son got along well with your daughter. You..."


    "Definitely. They seem to be quitepatible. My daughter has been defensive about outsiders for


    years, and never stood up for them like this."


    "I don''t know about that."


    Everly''s tone was a bit cold. She wasn''t indifferent, but she just thought the topic was beyond their


    rtionship.


    She wanted to stop the conversation.


    However, no matter how she answered, Maverick did not care.


    "My daughter is like me," he added, "it''s hard for me to let my defenses down."


    Everly didn''t know how to reply, and only after a while did she replied with a simple word.


    Maverick did not seem to be angry at her perfunctory answer, but his words were aggressive. "Children


    can get together. I think I will also be verypatible with you."


    Everly didn''t know how to reply.


    "Mr. Maverick, can you stop joking? If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."


    "Have you not determined?" Of course, Maverick would not give her the chance to hang up the phone.


    He seemed tough but it couldn''t be heard clearly. Everly''s heart was also in a mess and she was not


    sure about Maverick''s intention. However, his tone made mean that he was in a good mood. "On the


    day you were discharged, I happened to have something to do and did not go to pick you up. Do you


    miss me?"


    Everly said nothing.


    "Do you?"


    Everly was silent, but Maverick kept asking, "Everly, tell me, have you ever missed me, even if it was


    just a second?"


    More than a second.


    She missed him so much.


    However, she did not dare to say it and could not say.


    Maverick can have countless ways of retreat. He might just be curious about her or really interested in


    her now. There were many possibilities that she couldn''t afford.


    However, Everly only had one way to go.


    Not to mention that Maverick was Everly''s ex-boyfriend''s uncle, even for the two children''s rtion, she


    didn''t want them to be so close.


    Moreover, she didn''t know much about Maverick.


    In her current situation, she only wanted a peaceful life and raised her son well, not... However, when


    there were some gossips about Maverick and her, many people woulde over and set her up again


    and again.


    She could not afford it and take her son at risk.


    Moreover, she did not have the confidence that Maverick would marry her and announce Edmond to be


    his son.


    As for the previous one-night stand, she heard from Hendrix that that man might be a hedonistic young


    master in City C.


    There were too many possibilities which made Everly choose to retreat.


    She was a coward, and she couldn''t be willful.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t want to be with Maverick. She simply didn''t dare to think about it.


    "No." The moment she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.


    His heart was beating faster.


    The next second, a WeChat message came in.


    She couldn''t help but check the message.


    Maverick: You missed me for more than a second. I will pick you up tonight.

 Chapter 97 Insult

    Chapter 97 Insult


    She didn''t say she missed him.


    Why did Maverick think that way?


    Miss him for more than a second?


    He would also pick her up tonight.


    For what?


    Everly pondered Maverick''s intention and quickly replied.


    Everly: I didn''t say I miss you. Don''te over tonight. I won''t go out.


    Thirty secondster, Maverick replied again.


    Maverick: You haven''t resigned yet. You are still my secretary. There is a charity auction tonight. You


    have toe with me.


    Looking at the words "secretary", Everly was speechless.


    The boss always pressed his employees.


    However, Everly was responsible for her work.


    In fact, she could choose to be willful and ignore it. However, as Maverick''s secretary, she couldn''t


    refuse.


    It was just work, wasn''t it?


    Besides, regarding Levi and Weirdale, Everly felt that she should talk to Maverick peacefully.


    She specially chose a dress for the charity auction.


    Originally, she wanted to wear the dress that Maverick bought for herst time. Later, she felt that it


    was not very good. She chose an orange dress. Tall as she was, she looked very slim and pretty in that


    dress.


    Indeed, she was not like the mother of a five-year-old child.


    At the same time, on the other side of the city, Jenson was also going to leave.


    The footstepsing from the stairs made Jenson slightly twist his head.


    Jenson''s assistant was a female. The Kahl family lost their mistress in their early years. However,


    Jenson''s wife had a very powerful family. Therefore, over the years, no matter how dissolute Jenson


    was, he did not dare to neglect his two daughters and let other women enter the Kahl family.


    This female secretary was one of his lovers.


    Miley could not see a female secretary at the moment. Everyone in the Kahl family knew that this


    woman was kept by her father.


    Miley had been locked up at home for several days. Today, she learned that there was a pink diamond


    that she was longing for at the charity auction. When she knew that Jenson was leaving, so she


    hurriedly chased after him.


    "Dad..."


    Previously in the hospital, Maverick locked her in a room. It was Jenson that went over and took her


    away embarrassedly.


    In the past few days, Miley knew that she had been careless and her status in front of Jenson had


    dropped, but she had no other choice but to say, "Can I go to the auction today? I want that diamond.


    I..."


    "You still have the nerve to show up in public?" Jenson was in a bad mood. Although he was middle-


    aged, he still had the demeanor of a boss. He looked a little greasy but also very stylish.


    From his dressing, he was prepared to personally go over.


    Miley red at the secretary and sneered, "Dad, grandpa will be back in a few days. He asked me to


    stay there for a few days. These days, I have been reflecting at home. You can''t just me me for


    everything, right? That day at the hospital, I said that I was framed by Carolina. She..."


    Jenson''s expression was even darker as he interrupted his daughter, "Are you out of your mind?"


    "Dad..."


    "Alright. You stay at home and reflect. Do you know what''s going on outside? You and your sister can''t


    even defeat a female secretary. Now you still have the nerve to talk to me. Are you going to your


    grandfather to suppress me?"


    Miley realized she had said something wrong.


    All these years, Jenson was running thepany dependently.


    In fact, he wasn''t afraid of his wife and he even felt a little disgusted.


    The words Miley said just now were a little threatening.


    Miley changed her words. "Dad, I''m sorry. I didn''t mean it, but I want to go out."


    "What are you going out for? Are you making a fool of yourself? It''s said that you sisters slept with


    other men every day when you studied abroad. Don''t you know this?" Jenson sneered. He was so

    angry that he raised his leg and kicked the coffee table on the side. He then said harshly, "You''re the


    same as that dead mother. You can''t live without a man, can you?"


    Miley was scared stiff.


    In front of Jenson''s secretary, she was trembling and lost face.


    As Miley put on a sullen look, the secretary felt quite well at this moment. She was always taken over


    by the two youngdies of the Kahl family in private, now she looked at Miley with contempt.


    Miley was even more furious.


    Jenson was still angry, pointing at Miley and scolding, "Didn''t I ask you to get Maverick''smercial


    informationst time? You did nothing but keep an eye on a woman and her child. How dare you say


    that you are my daughter with such little tricks? I don''t get what I want, and you still dare to ask me for


    something. Do you know how I took you out of the hospitalst time?"


    Miley bit her lip, not daring to speak.


    At that time when Jenson arrived at the hospital, Candy''s disease had been under control.


    Maverick was usually not a person who was generous to Jenson. When Jenson arrived that day, he


    stood in the doorway and said coldly to Jenson, "In our circle, everyone will turn a blind eye to the little


    tricks if they are not big problems. However, your two daughters took advantage of my children. Do I


    look so easy to bully?"


    At that time, Jenson knew very well that he could not argue back.


    He was so embarrassed, being humiliated by a junior.


    And his daughter was still locked up inside.


    Maverick sneered, "I won''t announce it to the public to save faces for your family. Maybe you think that


    City C was ruled by these families. Each family has aplicated rtionship with each other and it is


    not so easy to break it."


    "However, Mr. Jenson, I have to tell you that was what your previous generation thought. I don''t think


    so. If you want to marry your daughter to me, I am afraid I can''t ept. Although my daughter does not


    have a mother by her side, she is still my baby. If I can''t be by her side every second, will I let a vicious


    woman by her side and constantly worry about her safety?"


    "I still leave some leeway for you. Mr. Jenson, you can officially announce it to the public. There is no


    such a marriage."


    In the end, Maverick''s tone waspletely mocking. It was like a knife cutting Jenson''s dignity. It was


    an insult to him!


    "Well, I never felt that our two families had a marriage alliance."


    This was the condition.


    Thus, Jenson took Miley away.


    Originally, the rumors of a marriage alliance needed the Kahl family to exin.


    At that time, although Jenson was irritated, Maverick was a formidable young man that he had to be


    cautious.


    At that time, he thought that if the Kahl family said that they wanted to cancel the engagement, he


    would still save some faces.


    Unexpectedly, the next day, the gossips began to spread.


    His two daughters were said to have a debauched private life.


    At this time, no matter how Jenson talked about the engagement, it was like confirming the rumor.


    Maverick was really tricky.


    Did Maverick want to confront him directly?


    He didn''t believe that an illegitimate child like Maverick would be able to cope with these


    families.

 Chapter 98 Do Something Interesting

    Chapter 98 Do Something Interesting


    Candy found that her father was handsome and gentle today.


    Maverick wore a ck suit, white shirt, and ck tie. He kept a straight face, but he was tender.


    Candy was very happy these days because Carolina and Miley had note here and her father had


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    always been by her side.


    It was about to be her birthday. And her father allowed her to invite Edmond.


    Candy made a decision.


    She and Edmond would help her father be with Edmond''s mother.


    So she and Edmond could be a real family.


    Although she hadn''te into contact with Edmond''s mother, children were the same as adults most


    of the time.


    Candy liked Edmond, so she thought that she would like his mother very much.


    Candy was looking forward to her birthday.


    ...


    "Dad, are you going to date today?" Candy wore a home dress at home. She would not be too lonely


    because she was very active and Maverick arranged professional servants to take care of her all day.


    There was a floor for fun for her in the vi.


    Maverick was surprised and thought that Candy wanted him to stay at home with her, so he squatted


    down and said to Candy, "It''s not a date, but I will go home at night. Be good and recuperate, okay?"


    Candy immediately waved, "Dad, I won''t be jealous, only if you have a date with auntie."


    "What? Which auntie?"


    "Pretty auntie," Candy said, "Edmond''s mother."


    Maverickughed, "Do you like that auntie?"


    "Because she is Edmond''s mother."


    "Why?"


    Candy asked in a serious tone, "Dad, don''t you like pretty auntie?"


    Maverick smiled but did not answer.


    Candy said, "I think Dad likes pretty auntie very much."


    "Why do you think so?" Maverick asked.


    "Because Dad''s eyes lit up whenever I talk about pretty auntie. It is said on TV that it was because of


    like."


    Maverickughed, "What are you watching?"


    "Cartoon."


    "Alright, the rashes on your body have notpletely dissipated, so you can only stay at home. If


    anything turns up, ask the servants to contact me. No one else wille. So be good. I will go home


    tonight."


    Candy blinked and giggled, "Dad, Byron called me today. He said he came to City C and brought me


    some toys. Can Byron stay with me tonight?"


    She paused for a moment and began to arrange Maverick''s schedule, "Dad, you''ve been home with


    me for a few days. I knew that you''re very busy with work, but you have to pay attention to your date.


    You could give yourself more bonding time with pretty auntie and don''t have to rush back at night."


    Maverick smiled, "Who taught you these things?"


    Candy didn''t answer because she would never betray Edmond.


    Byron dide to City C, and she missed him very much.


    Byron was Maverick''s intimate friend, and Candy liked him very much.


    When Maverick went out, he epted Candy''s request and asked Byron toe to the vi to stay


    with Candy in the evening.


    Byron was having dinner with a fresh superstar.


    The young master of the Puth family in Weirdale was also very popr in City C.


    Byron and Maverick were two different people.


    Maverick was quiet, while Byron was active.


    There was no woman around Maverick, but Byron was different.


    Byron was extremely delicate, which was different from Maverick''s masculinity.


    However, people wouldn''t think Byron was too feminine.


    Because Byron could control himself very well. In addition, he was a bohemian man. Therefore, women


    were all over him. Although Byron won''t marry them, one still felt satisfied if she could have a one-night


    stand with Byron.


    Maverick got into the car and sent a WeChat message to Everly first, telling her that he would arrive in


    15 minutes.


    Then he called Byron.


    Byron was unhappy, "I was still angry because you didn''t tell me thest time when you came to


    Weirdale."


    Maverick sat in the back seat, folded his legs, and gave a half-smile, "Do you need me tofort you?


    I knew you were busyst time, and it was just a small matter."


    Byron joked, "Is it a small matter? You are really shrewd. Den suffered a great loss this time, right?


    But it also benefited me a lot. Chace has a business rtionship with my elder brother. When Chace


    was arrested, he exposed my elder brother. The directors'' expressions were so funny. I even recorded


    a video and share it with youter."


    Maverick did notment on Byron''s behavior but said in a deep voice, "I have something to do


    tonight. Candy has allergies and stayed at home. She said that you called her and brought her some


    toys. So go and see her tonight."


    "No problem. I''m on call."


    Maverick talked a few work things with him, looked outside, and found that it would arrive in five


    minutes, so he was ready to hang up the phone.


    Byron suddenly asked, "Hey, have you been chasing a woman recently?"


    Maverick was shocked and did not reply.


    Byron added, "When Lawrence was drunk, he told me that you and a female secretary are enamored.


    But the key point was that this female secretary was the best friend of Lawrence''s girlfriend and


    Lucas''s ex-girlfriend. Damn, is your rtionship soplicated?"


    Maverick was displeased with hisst words.


    What is the ex-girlfriend?


    Even if it was the truth, Maverick was not willing to hear it.


    Maverick held the phone and said in a cold tone, "Lawrence can''t even find his girlfriend. Do you


    believe his words?"


    Was Lawrence''s girlfriend Everly''s best friend?


    Maverick suddenly thought of something.


    However, because Lawrence had bbed, Maverick decided not to tell Lawrence immediately.


    After hanging up the phone, the driver reminded Maverick that they had arrived at the Farley''s.


    From a distance, Maverick found that not far from the iron gate stood an enchanting and slim woman.


    Because it was at night-time and the light in the road was bad, Maverick had not yet found that it was


    Everly, but this thought had already shed through his mind.


    Maverick told the driver to wait here, while he opened the door and got off the car.


    When Maverick got closer, he saw Everly looking down. The wind blew and she gently brushed the hair


    behind her ear.


    It was as if she had brushed against his heart.


    Maverick breathed a bit heavier and his eyes filled with mixed feelings.


    Maverick had not seen Everly for many days. The moment he saw her, he wanted to lock her up and


    tear up her dress.


    Do something interesting.

 Chapter 99 Mr. Maverick Is Jealous

    Chapter 99 Mr. Maverick Is Jealous


    The night was tender.


    Maverick noticed that there was a moon today.


    The moonlight fell on the road gently.


    The night in the city was not as noisy as it was during the day but was silent.


    When he got closer, he found that the orange dress was ttering.


    It felt like he could encircle her waist with one hand.


    Maverick has always known how excellent her figure was.


    Under the faint yellow light, even her wavy hair was so charming.


    It was not the first time that he had seen her wear a dress.


    However, it was indeed the first time that he had seen her wearing an orange dress.


    He used to think that women were all the same, beautiful and ugly. In his opinion, there was not much


    difference.


    But now...


    Maverick finally understood that something has changed.


    In the future, there were only two kinds of women for him, Everly and the others.


    Maverick fixed his eyes on her, which made Everly''s toes curl.


    Maverick stood next to her. Because he was much taller, he looked down at her.


    He had just thought that this dress was beautiful, but when he spoke, he didn¡¯t praise her.


    "Who let you wear this kind of dress?"


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat. She waspletely confused. When she looked up at him, Maverick


    found that she even made light makeup. The outer corner of her eyes was slightly raised, revealing a


    bit of charm.


    Her eyes were big and beautiful.


    Maverick always thought that her eyes were beautiful probably because only her eyes were very simr


    to his daughter''s among different kinds of women he saw.


    This feeling was very subtle.


    He couldn''t describe it, but he wanted to get closer when he looked into her eyes.


    And now, she was looking at him with watery eyes.


    Not only did Maverick feel that he was touched, but part of his body became erect.


    He was even a little embarrassed.


    It was just a look! How disgraceful!


    "What''s wrong with my dress?" Everly said in confusion and a hint of coquetry.


    Maverick cursed himself and said briefly, "Nothing, get in the car."


    If he continued to stay, he would not be able to control himself.


    Everly was confused to see him turn around coldly and walked towards the car.


    She did not titivate in honor of tonight''s charity auction.


    But when she did not find any hint of praise or amazement in Maverick''s eyes..., she was a little


    unhappy.


    Everly reached out and pinched her thigh, thinking, "Everly, don''t be too pretentious.


    "Isn''t this good?


    "I have to refuse him and be distant.


    "If he couldn''t get what he wanted, he would give up."


    Everly took a deep breath and then followed him.


    Along the way, they did notmunicate.


    Everly thought it was right to be distant, and she could also feel that Maverick kept his distance.


    So she became sad.


    She was extremely depressed.


    When they arrived at the auction house, many rich and famous people of City C have been there.


    There were also some celebrities in the entertainment circle because their own items would be


    auctioned off for charity.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    As for Maverick, he was here to bid for some items. That money would be donated to those truly in


    need.


    Before Everly entered, she received the auction booklet.


    There was a brief introduction to these items.


    The items in the first few pages were not particrly famous. And some celebrities even took out their


    costumes, which was ... too stingy.


    There were also some diamonds, antiques, and famous paintings.


    Everly was not interested, and she thought Maverick wouldn''t take a fancy to these items.


    Why did hee here?


    When she turned thest page, she was surprised.


    It was a pink diamond.


    The Heart of the Angel.


    Everly was a little stunned. Hadn''t this diamond been lost for a long time?


    People who knew little about diamonds should have heard of the Heart of the Angel. An English count


    designed it and gifted it to his beloved wife.


    Its meaning was the only love in this life, which was very romantic in the past.


    But many merchants would sell their essories in the name of romance nowadays.


    The Heart of the Angel was indeed unique because the pink diamond was expensive and it was as big


    as a pigeon''s egg.


    Everly thought that Maverick was probably here for this pink diamond.


    Everly and Maverick walked towards the corner table. Just as they sat down, someone patted Everly


    on her shoulder.


    Everly turned her head and found that it was her blind date guy whom she had not seen for few days.


    Stanley.


    Why was he... here?


    Stanley did not think that he would meet Everly here. Everly had applied light makeup tonight, was


    wearing an orange dress, and was very eye-catching, so he felt a stirring of curiosity.


    Stanley thought, "She is my blind date girl."


    Stanley almost treated Everly as his girlfriend.


    "Everly."


    Stanley said, "What a coincidence! Why do youe here?"


    Stanley didn''t feel surprised when he discovered Maverick was beside Everly because he also


    apanied his boss here.


    Stanley thought it was because he was highly regarded by his boss.


    And Maverick thought highly of his girlfriend.


    If his girlfriend put in a good word for him, he would probably be promoted soon.


    Stanley said happily as he reached out to greet Maverick, "Mr. Maverick, that''s a coincidence. I never


    thought you will be here as well. Are there any items that you preferred?"


    Just as Maverick heard him call "Everly", he was angry.


    Maverick looked sullen and didn''t shake hands with Stanley.


    It seemed to be very awkward.


    But only Stanley felt embarrassed.


    Maverick was used to being high and mighty and would never consider other''s feelings.


    Everly felt embarrassed for Stanley.


    She could not bear it.


    No job was easy.


    To lighten the mood, Everly said, "Mr. Stanley, Ie here with Mr. Maverick. Are you here with your


    boss?"

 Chapter 100 Mavericks Face Was an Enlarged Version of Edmond

    Chapter 100 Maverick''s Face Was an Erged Version of Edmond


    Regardless of whether Everly spoke or not, Maverick was very unhappy.


    It was this man again. Maverick never took the initiative to remember other people, let alone Stanley


    who had nothing to do with him.


    However, Stanley was still fresh in Maverick''s memory.


    Because Everly went on a blind date with Stanley.


    The blind date was divided into two types, sess and failure. Maverick thought that he was so


    generous that he forgot the fact that Stanley went on a blind date with Everly. However, Stanley still


    messed with him.


    Everly even talked with him.


    This was a huge taboo for Maverick.


    Maverick put on a long face.


    And he was very angry and a little jealous.


    Stanley smiled and said to Everly, "Yes, Mr. Addison is answering a call at the door and will be here


    soon."


    Stanley wasn''t blind and could notice that Maverick put on a long face and was unapproachable.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Stanley had extended his hand, yet Maverick did not even shake with him. Therefore, he knew that


    Maverick did not want to talk to him.


    Stanley was a little resentful. However, Maverick was high and mighty. Not only Stanley but also Mr.


    Addison would have to bow low to Maverick.


    From that instant, Stanley felt level-headed and said, "Everly, I went out on business these few days


    and didn''t have time to have a meal with you. Are you avable tomorrow?"


    Stanley only wanted to show that he had a good rtionship with Everly before Maverick.


    At the very least, Stanley thought that he could give Maverick a good impression.


    Stanley thought that he wasn''t blind just now, but he was really blind right now.


    The more he acted like this, the sullener Maverick looked.


    Everly was also lost for word. She called Stanley politely, but Stanley still called her intimately.


    It was not convenient to say more, so Everly quickly said, "Let''s talk about itter."


    Stanley''s boss, Addison, happened to be here at this time.


    Addison immediately saw Maverick and his eyes lit up. Then he quickly walked up and greeted


    Maverick, "Mr. Maverick!"


    Maverick was very popr in the Lamont Group. If one could cooperate with the Lamont Group, he


    would benefit a lot.


    "Mr. Maverick, d to see you. Do you take a fancy to any items? Is it the pink diamond?" Addison was


    middle-aged, short, and stout.


    Noticing that Stanley was chatting with the beauty beside Maverick just now, Addison nudged Stanley,


    "Stanley, hurry up and introduce us."


    Maverick was extremely impatient now.


    Maverick became hardened to the ttering things around him, but he expressed his disgust at Addison


    and Stanley.


    Just as Stanley was about to speak, Maverick put his arms around Everly''s waist.


    Maverick instantly became possessive. He ignored Addison and Stanley and said to Everly, "Sit beside


    me."


    "Sit beside me."


    ...


    It was a very simple word, but it was meaningful.


    It was normal for the female secretary to sit beside the boss.


    But Maverick deliberately said it, not only to tell Everly but also to tell others.


    That he said this to a woman in a man''s manner.


    Not a boss to his subordinates.


    Stanley was shocked, while Addison nced meaningfully at Everly and Maverick.


    Everyone thought that Maverick stayed away from womanizing, but it seemed that it wasn''t necessarily


    the fact.


    Except for Maverick and Addison.


    Everly and Stanley were embarrassed.


    Stanley had mixed emotions.


    It was only then that Stanley thought of the car at the entrance of the hospital and Maverick''s long face.


    Although Everly didn''t promise him, he felt that he had been cheated by Everly.


    Maverick and Everly had sat down. Addison was sitting behind them, while Stanley was sitting behind


    Everly.


    The back of her neck was fair and soft.


    This orange dress was so ttering.


    But everything was fake.


    Stanley never thought Everly was this kind of person.


    Bitch!


    Stanley thought viciously.


    ...


    Everly could also feel Stanley''s resentful gaze.


    She felt a little innocent and was also speechless.


    However, she didn''t want to waste time at this. She did not like Stanley nor did she reject Maverick''s


    behavior just now, so she did not care what others thought.


    The auction began and the items were auctioned off one by one.


    Everly peeped at him in profile several times and found Maverick was still in a low mood.


    And it seemed that he was about to get angry.


    Everly thought, "It should have... nothing to do with me, right?"


    Finally, it was the pink diamond. If someone made an offer, Maverick would ask Everly to raise the


    bidding paddle to up his offer.


    When the price reached 20 million, Everly thought it was too high.


    There were people stillpeting with Maverick, so Everly leaned towards Maverick and said, "Mr.


    Maverick, I think... the price seems to be quite high. Do you still want to up our offer?"


    They had been here for more than half an hour, but Maverick had been angry all the time and did not


    speak to her.


    Everly took the initiative in breaking the ice.


    Maverick seemed to snort.


    It was so low and slight.


    But Everly was close to him, so she heard it.


    Everly was a little surprised because it sounded pretentious and had a sense of...


    As if what he wanted was finally ced in front of him, but he still looked cold even if he was very


    happy.


    There was a word called smoldering, which meant that having strong repressed feelings.


    Everly looked at Maverick.


    She suddenly felt that this handsome and extraordinary face was the erged version of


    Edmond.

 Chapter 101 It Will only Belong to You, just as You only Belong to Me

    Chapter 101 It Will only Belong to You, just as You only Belong to Me


    The very thought startled Everly.


    She felt that she might have gone crazy. Ever since she met Maverick, he appeared in her erotic


    dream. And she even thought her son looked like him now...


    She quickly looked away and frowned, trying to calm down.


    When the auction was over, she should make things clear.


    "What do you think of the pink diamond?" Maverick didn''t seem to see her mixed emotions but


    approached her and asked.


    Everly was a little confused.


    When the overwhelming masculine charm reached her, she suddenly remembered what happened on


    that day when she was drugged.


    Everly had been hypnotizing herself, so she would never think about what happened that night again.


    The memory could be controlled, but it could also break out suddenly.


    Every frame and every minute seemed to be clear.


    Everly wanted to back away, but other strangers sat next to her.


    So Everly could only sit there and her body was stiff. She did not know that her face flushed, and her


    ears also went red.


    Maverick''s gaze fell on her small and plump earlobe. It was red, and Maverick swallowed a bit.


    Maverick stared at her with desire and said, "Answer my question."


    Everly could only say, "It.. it''s fine."


    "If it were you, would you like it?"


    Everly felt touched and excited. The smell of sea salt on Maverick distracted her attention so that she


    could not hear clearly what he was talking to her.


    Diamond?


    Did she like it?


    It was still a pink diamond...


    Everly thought that no woman would refuse it, right?


    So she nodded subconsciously, "Yes, I might like it."


    "Might?"


    "I think it''s pretty, but... it seems that the price is very high."


    "Anyway, it''s for charity. Why not donate some money to those in need?"


    Everly was somewhat dazed as she thought, "Is Maverick so caring?"


    But whether this "excuse" was true or not, Everly felt a lot better.


    To prevent saying something to embarrass him, Everly changed the topic suddenly, "Well, I also think


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    that doing good deeds is right. There will be rewards in the future."


    "Rewards? In your opinion, what are the rewards for me?"


    Everly didn''t reply.


    "What?"


    Maverick had been whispering in Everly''s ear, but if others upped their offer, Maverick would raise


    Everly''s arm to bid.


    Everly was distracted by Maverick''s question so she didn''t know how much the offer was now.


    Maverick kept asking her, so she could only answer, "Well, it depends on what you need the most. I


    feel that everyone has his own pursuit that is hard to get."


    "One''s own pursuit that is hard to get?"


    "Yes."


    "Do you have?"


    Everly was shocked and said in a low voice, "I have a lot."


    "For example?"


    Everly was silent for a moment.


    The person on the stage suddenly shouted, "Eighty million for the second time ...st chance... sold!


    "Congrattions, eighty million sold to bidder number 65. All the funds will be donated to the charity."


    There was a great round of apuse.


    Everly was interrupted.


    The pink diamond was thest item.


    The price of the pink diamond was quite high, so it became the focus of the audience.


    Maverick did not stand up. When the spotlight was on them, he put on a long face, nodded slightly, and


    touched Everly on her waist. And then he stood up and turned to walk toward the entrance.


    Everly followed him out.


    Stanley and Addison, who were sitting behind them, witnessed everything.


    Addison sighed, "It''s really what Maverick can do. He spent eighty million for the beauty."


    Hearing that, Stanley''s face was sullen.


    Stanley thought, "Everly isn''t a female secretary but a mistress."


    When they were bidding, Maverick and Everly were still whispering to each other and exchanging


    nces. Funny. Everly even pretended to be pure and innocent before him, but how licentious she was


    in Maverick''s bed?


    The more Stanley thought about it, the more resentful he felt. Since the auction was over, he said to


    Addison, "I need to go to the bathroom, Mr. Addison."


    Addison nodded, "I still have something to do. You can go back by yourselfter."


    Stanley agreed and followed the direction that Everly had just left.


    ...


    Everly took the elevator with Maverick.


    They were probably the first to leave, and there was no one else in the elevator.


    Everly thought about the pink diamond and said, "Congrattions, Mr. Maverick."


    Maverick put his hand in his side pocket, looked into Everly''s eyes through the mirror of the elevator,


    and wore a faint smile, "What are you congratting me for?"


    "Didn''t you want that pink diamond? Congrattions, you got it."


    "That''s not what I wanted."


    Everly was stunned.


    "It''s a gift for you."


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Maverick in disbelief, while Maverick also looked at


    her and said in a softer voice, "Don''t you like it? But it is still a little small. Take it as a ring. And I will get


    someone to design it for you. It is a whole set, and there is another bigger one. I will give it to you like a


    ne next time."


    "Why?"


    Everly breathed rapidly. She immediately added, "No, I can''t take it. I don''t want that diamond."


    "Why?"


    Maverick asked her.


    Everly looked at him with clear eyes, "Why do you give me such a valuable thing?"


    "Do you think it''s valuable?"


    "Yes."


    "Because of its price?"


    "Yes."


    "But I don''t think so."


    Everly bit her lip.


    "I only feel that it only deserves you, so the price has never been the reason. I want it to be yours when


    I look at it." As Maverick spoke, he suddenly approached her and grabbed her shoulder. Everly


    subconsciously took two steps back, but Maverick had always been an aggressive attacker.


    Therefore, her back soon reached the mirror of the elevator.


    Maverick suddenly reached out and gently pressed her back.


    The fabric of her dress was very thin, while the mirror was too cold.


    She clearly felt the warmth of Maverick''s hand. Everly also felt that every hair on her body prickled. So


    she went crimson, and her eyes were watery and very attractive.


    "Just like you," he said.


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat. She was so dazed that she asked, "W... what..."


    Maverick whispered in her ear, "When I saw you, I knew that you could only belong to me."

 Chapter 102 If You Were with Me, I Would Dote on You

    Chapter 102 If You Were with Me, I Would Dote on You


    "No, you belong to me."


    "You can only belong to me."


    Everly felt that her heart was being gently pinched by someone. Then, he slowly loosened his grip and


    gently pinched it again...


    It was repeated over and over again.


    She felt that she was indeed on the verge of losing her strength.


    He hadn''t done anything to her yet, but she was on the verge of copse.


    The courage that she had to push him away before seemed to have been weakened.


    All that remained was a voice, screaming in her mind...


    "Everly, did you still refuse to admit it?


    "You have the strongest feeling for him. The one you can''t resist is him.


    "You can be touched just by one look from him."


    ...


    Everly took a deep breath. She did not dare to look at Maverick but evaded the issue quickly, "Mr.


    Maverick, I want to know about Levi... and Garry. I haven''t had the time to ask you these past few


    days."


    "Levi?" Maverick didn''t move but his voice was colder, "What do you want to know? Do you want to


    know how he died?"


    When he said the word "die", his tone sounded very t.


    It was as if they were discussing what kind of weather it was today.


    However, Everly was shocked slightly because she could feel his anger.


    Everly suddenly remembered what her brother had said and she decided that she would definitely not


    let Levi or the Kahl family escape from punishment.


    But in just a few days, Hendrix told her that he didn''t even have the chance to help her.


    Because Maverick had finished what Hendrix needed to do.


    Whether it was because Everly had thought of this, or it was because of the current atmosphere, or


    something else... Everly''s mind went nk and said, "Don''t do anything illegal. There will be retribution.


    Don''t do it because of me..."


    Everly seemed to have realized something and finally shut up.


    However, the atmosphere was even more strange.


    Maverick, which had just cooled down,ughed, "Well, are you worried about me?"


    There was really something different.


    Very different.


    Everly didn''t know how to reply, so she didn''t speak.


    However, Maverick did not intend to let her go. He reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to


    look up at him. The moment their eyes met, she saw herself in his eyes and heard him say in a low


    voice, "I''m very happy. But don''t worry, I won''t get retribution. If it were because of you, I wouldn''t shrink


    back even if there is retribution."


    Everly was lost for word.


    Was he sweet talking her?


    People said that when one loved someone, the words wouldn''te out. Sometimes, sweet words


    were for people who were not intimate...


    Maverick seemed to know what she was thinking and said word by word, "What I said isn''t just in


    words. I will take practical action to prove to you."


    He said, "Everly, I never easily make promises to others because promises are very useless. But I will


    protect you at all costs in the future."


    Everly didn''t reply.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    "If you were with me, I would dote on you, OK?"


    Everly was deeply moved.


    It turned out that she was so vulgar that she also liked to hear sweet words.


    Maverick then lowered his head and kissed her.


    He was not as gentle as before.


    Nor did he as fierce as before.


    Instead, it was as if he wasforting and testing her. Then he kissed her and his voice reached her


    ears through her tongue.


    He said, "I won''t argue with you about your blind date, but don''t do it again. And don''t look at that


    person again. Otherwise, I will kill him."


    Everly was speechless.


    "As for Levi, it won''t happen again. Don''t worry, I will handle it well." Maverick sucked on her lips,


    paused for a moment, and added, "As for Garry, don''t worry. He will be punished for what he did."


    The elevator rang.


    It was in the parking lot.


    The two doors slowly opened. Maverick pressed his forehead against hers. The kiss was over, but his


    eyes were still full of lust.


    Everly breathed heavily. She was a bit nervous and very shy.


    No one had ever... opened her heart like this.


    It was strange, but she also felt uneasy.


    Yes.


    Because she was a coward.


    But what could she do? She... was especially moved by his words that he would dote on her.


    The phone suddenly rang.


    It was Maverick''s phone. Everly came to her senses in an instant, so she pushed him and looked away.


    Maverick was a little unsatisfied. He did not lose control because he felt that this ce was


    inappropriate.


    He has been controlling himself but he felt that he could not hold on for long. Their... second time...


    well, to Everly, she should think that it was their first time.


    When they did it, Maverick was about to remind her of the night five years ago.


    He did not intend to tell her but he wanted her to tell him that.


    Maverick stepped back, pinched her cheek, and whispered, "Go out and wait for me. I need to answer


    the call."


    It might not be a work call, because Maverick asked her to go out.


    Everly respected people''s privacy, so she did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.


    She still had a lot to say, but she was messed up.


    It was sote, but Maverick still asked her to wait for him.


    Everly thought of his gaze with lingering fear. If she waited for him, she was afraid something would


    happen.


    Even though it was not the first time.


    However, she was unprepared, and she did not even know whether she could be with Maverick.


    Even though his words had moved her.


    Everly thought of this and decided to calm herself down.


    She quickly walked towards the exit of the parking lot and prepared to take a cabter, so she sent a


    message to Maverick, telling him that she was going back first.


    However, just as she reached the corner, she was stopped by someone.


    "Everly."

 Chapter 103 If It Werent for Everly, I Wouldnt Look at You

    Chapter 103 If It Weren''t for Everly, I Wouldn''t Look at You


    Hearing that voice, Everly knew who the person was.


    Everly was surprised. Did he look for her?


    She turned around and smiled at Stanley, "Mr. Stanley, are you preparing to leave as well?"


    Stanley was not as gentle as before but looked at her contemptuously.


    Everly knew what he was thinking about.


    But she didn''t want to exin.


    If she exined to him, he would think that they could be together.


    So she would rather be misunderstood.


    "Everly, I know that the matter between men and women is consensual. If you don''t like me, it''s fine but


    you can''t trick me."


    Stanley was so angry that he directly said he was tricked by Everly.


    Everly also felt innocent. She frowned, and said, "I think you might have misunderstood something. I


    never intended to trick you. Mr. Stanley, it''s veryte, and I''m a little tired. Goodbye."


    Stanley probably felt that he could not lose face.


    Stanley rushed forward and blocked her way, "Maverick is by your side, but why did youe to the


    blind date then? Is it because you can only be Maverick''s mistress so you wanted to find a back-up?"


    Everly''s face clouded over. Then she said word by word, "Please behave yourself."


    "Behave myself? Everly, you are shameless. How dare you ask me to behave myself? It''s so funning. I


    even treated you as a treasure. You and Maverick were all over each other before me several times.


    What do you think I am? How can you cuckold me?"


    Everlyughed in anger at hisst word.


    "What did you say? I cuckolded you?"


    "Isn''t that so? Just now, you were flirting with Maverick before me. Shameless!"


    "Please make it clear. Do I have anything to do with you? It is my mother who asked me to go on the


    blind date and I had no choice. Mr. Stanley, we are all adults. It shouldn''t be your first blind date, right?


    At your age, your family is indeed very anxious. But not every woman you have been on a blind date


    with was your girlfriend, OK? You think too highly of yourself!"


    Perhaps it was because Everly did not say too much to Stanley before.


    She used to be quiet, so Stanley was dumbstruck.


    Everly did not care what he was thinking.


    She was about to leave, but she was once again stopped by Stanley.


    Everly became impatient.


    She struggled but Stanley held her hand tightly and refused to let her go.


    "Do you have anything to say?"


    Everly was even more annoyed, "You can speak freely, and you don''t have to do this. I''ve had a meal


    with you, but it doesn''t mean anything. Can you be sensible?"


    Stanley also knew that Everly''s words were reasonable.


    But he was still angry.


    They went back and forth for a while, and then they were suddenly interrupted by hurried footsteps.


    Everly felt a ck shadow shed over, directly standing before her.


    Then the strength that was holding her wrist suddenly disappeared.


    Stanley was pushed by someone.


    Before he could stand still, his cor was grabbed by someone.


    Then he took a few steps back and was soon pressed against the car behind him. Perhaps because


    the force was too strong, the car seemed to shake.


    Stanley was amon office worker. And he was under a lot of pressure. Therefore, he didn''t have


    time to exercise. After a while, he felt his back ached.


    When Stanley raised his head and saw Maverick''s angry eyes.


    There were no other emotions except anger.


    As if Maverick would kill him immediately.


    Stanley woke up in an instant and did not dare to move. He trembled and said, "Mr. Maverick..."


    "Who allowed you to touch her?" Maverick was angry and said in a cold voice.


    Stanley swallowed. He never thought that Maverick would stand up for Everly.


    Moreover, he hadn''t done anything.


    Maverick looked calm, but what he did and what he said all showed that how important Everly was to


    him.


    Stanley felt both angry and wronged.


    He knew that he was not a match for Maverick, so he said, "Mr. Maverick, no offense... I can exin.


    Everly and I met on a blind date and we kept in touch before. Mr. Maverick, do you know what kind of


    woman she is? She is looking for a back-up, she..."


    "So what?"


    Maverick interrupted him impatiently.


    "As a man, but you could only attack a woman. Is there a sense of aplishment?"


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Stanley was humiliated and his face clouded over.


    Maverick directly shook off his cor, took a step back, and looked at him, "You should be d that you


    met me now because I don''t advocate violence now. But you should also thank Everly. If it weren''t for


    her, I wouldn''t look at you. Go back and advise your boss to keep that smallpany."


    After that, Maverick directly grabbed Everly''s wrist with possessiveness.


    They turned around and walked towards his car.


    Everly''s heart was still beating wildly as she was led by him.


    Stanley was terrified.


    He was no longer angry.


    How could theirpanypare to the Lamont Group?


    It wasn''t easy for him to get to where he was today. He still needed to pay his mortgage and car


    payment. If he lost the job, he wouldn''t be able to survive in the city.


    Stanley wanted to chase after them to plead for mercy, but Maverick had taken Everly into the car.


    When he ran over, the car had just left.


    After thinking about it, Stanley immediately sent a WeChat message to Everly.


    Stanley: I''m sorry for what I said just now. But we know each other. Please don''t let Mr. Maverick do


    anything to ourpany. Everly, please, I beg you. I apologize to you.


    ...


    When Everly received the message, she did not read it immediately.


    The phone was in her bag, and beside her was a man with a long face.


    Was he... angry again?

 Chapter 104 Why Cant I Let You Go?

    Chapter 104 Why Can''t I Let You Go?


    Anyway, it was all thanks to him.


    His words also showed respect for her.


    Everly thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for helping me just now."


    Maverick reached out and pulled his cor. His action was not very gentle. And he was still very


    irritable. He sneered, "Do you like this kind of man? Everly, how much do you dislike me? How can you


    insult me with such a person?"


    Everly was confused, "No, I didn''t."


    "No?"


    "Why would I insult you? Don''t you think too much?"


    "Do I think too much?" Maverick was even angrier, "I am chasing you. You are unwilling to be with me,


    but you are willing to be involved with that kind of person."


    Everly''s heart beat faster. His words were peremptory but when she heard that, she seemed to be... a


    little touched.


    "Hey, isn''t it good for you to speak ill of him behind his back?" Everly muttered.


    After saying that, she regretted it.


    It was probably because she didn''t know what to say that she said this.


    Everly felt that she talked too much and was so pretentious.


    Maverick became even angrier and snorted, "Do you think I don''t dare to say it before him?"


    "No..." What was there that he did not dare to say?


    "Don''t mention another man before me." His tone sounded like a dissatisfied man.


    Everly didn''t know how to answer. After thinking about it, she felt that whatever she said would be bad.


    She bit her lip and stopped saying.


    To prevent saying anything to embarrass him, Everly took out her phone and saw the message that


    Stanley sent to her.


    Everly sighed and bit back the words she would like to have said.


    She knew that if she said anything more, she would antagonize Maverick.


    Everly was not on friendly terms with Stanley, and Stanley was so crude just now.


    She wasn''t silly.


    She directly put Stanley on the cklist.


    Then she put her phone away.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Maverick had always been in a very low mood. Everly could not figure out what he was thinking.


    However, it was a rare opportunity for some straight talking.


    "Mr. Maverick, I have something to tell you."


    "Business?"


    "I guess so."


    Maverick nced at her and did not speak, but the meaning was probably to let her go on.


    Everly said, "I wasn''t too impulsive to resign the secretaryst time. I''m not quite capable of the job, so


    I''m going to resign."


    "Why do you think you are not capable?"


    Everly thought about it, took out her phone, and went to the online forum.


    She had always felt deeply wronged because she had been scolded as a skank without reason.


    Although she didn''t care about it, she was still affected.


    Moreover, she didn''t have to go through these alone.


    Maverick never had a female secretary before. After purchasing LAL, he appointed her as his


    secretary. No wonder that there would be gossip.


    "Mr. Maverick, this is ourpany''s forum, and these are relevant posts. I didn''t intend to tell you this


    in the beginning, but I think we might try to avert suspicion. Because... I don''t know how to say, but I


    feel that... it..."


    "What do you feel?"


    Maverick nced at the phone and saw the headlines.


    He tried not to read the posts, but his eyes filled with mixed emotions.


    It seemed that he was so kind and the well-being of these employees was also so good that they could


    gossip about their boss after work.


    Those headlines were so harsh and eye-catching that the content would be more offensive.


    Maverick never cared about what others thought of him.


    But he was on the verge of rage because of Everly.


    Maverick turned to look at her.


    It was clear that she wasining to him with evidence.


    Thinking of this, he suddenly became much better.


    "I feel that it has a bad influence." Everly didn''t know what Maverick was thinking. She exhaled and


    continued, "I don''t think it''s good to hear about the rumors between the female secretary and the boss.


    So, I n to resign."


    She had put away her phone.


    Maverick was lost in thought. After a moment, he sneered, "You are my woman. If they ndered you, I


    can go public with our rtionship."


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat. She asked, "Our rtionship?"


    She shook her head, "We have nothing to do with each other."


    "Is that so?"


    "Mr. Maverick, I am a very normal woman, and I have the same emotions and desires, but I don''t want


    people to say that I am your... your pet on a whim. You and I are different."


    "How do you know that we are different?"


    "We have always been."


    "Is it all up to you?" Maverick became serious and fixed his eyes on her, "Everly, why don''t you think


    about who you thought of when you have desires?"


    Everly didn''t reply.


    "It''s me."


    He said in a confident voice, "Did you forget how you called me by my name when you were drugged?


    Although I didn''t do it, I helped you. When you hugged me, you called my name."


    Everly blushed and looked away.


    She wanted to refute him and even wanted to scold him.


    How could he say these kinds of words tly and directly?


    However, she also knew that what he said was the truth.


    When she was drugged, she thought of Maverick.


    Maverick pinched her chin and leaned closer to her, "I''m waiting for you to willingly give it to me. But do


    you think that I have taken a fancy to you on a whim? You think too highly of yourself. If I want to y


    with a woman, why are you?"


    Everly could tell that his words were full of disdain for her.


    Everly fumed, "Yes, I am a good-for-nothing. I am not beautiful, gentle, or good. Why are you still


    unwilling to let me go? Aren''t you contradicting yourself?"


    Maverick stared at her, wishing he could see through her.


    Maverick put on a self-mocking smile, "Yes, who knows? Why don''t you tell me why I can''t let you


    go?"

 Chapter 105 Five Years Ago, Maverick Wore a Pair of Glasses

    Chapter 105 Five Years Ago, Maverick Wore a Pair of sses


    Themunication was a failure.


    When Everly was lying on the bed after taking a shower, she was thinking about what Maverick had


    said when he sent her back.


    "I hate exnation, but I am willing to exin it to you today."


    He said, "Everly, you think I regard you as a pet on a whim. If so, why didn''t I do anything to you when


    you were druggedst time?"


    ...


    That time.


    Thinking of that time, Everly felt all her strength had been suddenly sucked out from her body. She had


    no way to refute.


    In the end, she didn''t say anything. Her son and Maverick''s daughter had made an appointment to


    celebrate their birthday. She wanted to decline with an excuse.


    But now, it seemed impossible to decline.


    "What to do now?"


    "What should I do now?"


    "Why do I think of Maverick all the time?"


    She didn''t want this. However, the more she resisted thinking of Maverick, the more her mind was filled


    with his figure and words. Any subtle actions he had done to her were infinitely magnified and


    repeatedly echoing in her mind.


    She sighed.


    She rolled around on the bed. Suddenly her phone rang.


    Everly picked it up. It was Beth.


    She hurriedly answered the phone, "Beth?"


    "Everly, where are you?"


    "I''m at home."


    "Good. I''m at your door. Open it."


    Everly was surprised.


    She hung up the phone, leaped down, and ran to open the door.


    Beth had often came to Everly''s house since they were in high school, so Beth was very familiar with


    Everly''s house. The Farleys didn''t move the house all the years.


    In the night, Beth was wearing ck clothes and a ck cap.


    It looked like she was trying to avoid someone.


    Everly understood it, so she brought Beth to her room.


    After arriving at the room, Beth took off her cap. There was a bruise on the corner of her mouth. Everly


    was shocked, "What happened to you? Did someone hit you?"


    It looked like a fist or a palm.


    "I fought with someone. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have exposed my whereabouts. Everly, I have to stay at


    your house for two days. They won''t be able to find me here for the time being," Beth said indifferently.


    Everly said, "You can stay as long as you want. But are you still hiding from Lawrence?"


    "He knows I am in City C," Beth thought of something and said nastily, "I was careless. I put my


    passport in the hotel. I don''t know how he got the news but he rushed to the hotel that day. Fortunately,


    I ran away fast. But that bastard took my passport and my ID card. I can''t go anywhere except City C


    now."


    Everly was speechless. Was Lawrence so crazy?


    "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to keep avoiding him?"


    "Let''s talk about itter." Beth''s eyes were a little dark. She seemed not to rest well. Everly felt


    distressed. She sat next to Beth and patted her shoulder.


    "Don''t think too much now. Besides, there are stillws in this world. How can he always be


    unscrupulous? If you don''t want to see him and don''t want to be with him, can he put you under house


    arrest?"


    Beth sneered, "You haven''t met someone like him. He is so stubborn. He dares to do it."


    Everly looked at Beth. Although Beth said indifferently, she looked so upset.


    Everly felt Beth was telling her that she had been under house arrest by Lawrence.


    That was why she was desperate to escape that man now.


    Could love be so morbid?


    Levi was aplete pervert, but Everly had met Lawrence once or twice in the past. Would that sunny


    and upright man be morbid now?


    "Beth, do you think Lawrence loves you?"


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    "Yes, he loves me," Beth did not need to think and quickly answered, "Everly, in this world, many


    people have their ways to show love. If someone loves you, but still gives you the right to choose and


    gives you absolute freedom, you should cherish him. Because there is also someone who takes all his


    life to love you, but at the same time, he asks for your same repayment. Not everyone can ept this."


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat.


    Once again, she thought of that man.


    Maverick.


    He seemed to have given her the right to choose and certain freedom.


    "By the way,st time you asked me to investigate that shampoo brand, do you remember?" Beth took


    off her coat and changed the topic.


    "You found something?" Everly nodded.


    "It''s an Italian brand. It''s native and hasn''t been sold to foreign countries. The brand has quite a


    history," Beth said, "The Kamo family used to be powerful in Italy. Later on, the family underwent


    serious internal differentiation. Some parts of the family went to Sicily. Now, they are doing some


    legitimate business. However, their wealth origin is not very clean. There was a Chinese woman in the


    family who did skincare products. The brand you showed me is created by her. The finished product


    was created probably five years ago. It''s the name of the shower gel you showed me. It should be the


    taste of sea salt, not particrly strong but very special. There is no such thing sold in the market at


    present. After that, someone bought the technology. Then there was nothing else."


    After Everly heard this, Everly was puzzled.


    Maverick used this shampoo series by himself. ording to what Beth said, he purchased the so-


    called technology?


    Maybe he was really rich. Rich people liked to do this kind of thing, to be unique in everything.


    But based on the information Beth provided, Everly felt that this shampoo brand and the Kamo family


    should not be simple.


    So was Italy.


    Didn''t Mavericke back from Italy?


    She wanted to investigate the shampoo just because she was familiar with that smell.


    "Why did you suddenly investigate these things?" Beth asked casually.


    Everly was at a loss, "I don''t know either. The first time I smelled it on Maverick, I felt that it was


    special. After that, I saw the shower gel with this brand in his room. And then, every time I smell it, I feel


    it''s familiar."


    "Have you slept?" Beth raised her eyebrows.


    "Beth, don''t talk nonsense," Everly said awkwardly.


    "Nonsense? Don''t you know that your eyes are lightened when you mention Maverick?"


    "It''s impossible."


    "You can deceive yourself, but your eyes can''t lie," Beth was very certain, "Are you interested in


    Maverick? But it''s normal. Who won''t like a good man like Maverick?"


    Speaking of this, Beth thought of something and muttered, "Five years ago, I met Maverick. He was


    different from now. At that time, he was gentle and refined in manner. He also wore a pair of sses,


    looking innocent."


    Everly paused, "What did you say? He wore sses?"

 Chapter 106 Why Dont You Ask Maverick?

    Chapter 106 Why Don''t You Ask Maverick?


    The words "wore sses"bined with the faint taste of sea salt instantly stimted a certain


    memory of Everly.


    But soon she felt that it was without rhyme or reason.


    Maybe she was too tired recently. She felt she was a little absent-minded and was easy to think too


    much.


    She had told Maverick that she wanted to resign. Although he did not agree, he did not say she should


    go to work tomorrow.


    Everly admitted she was a little willful.


    She had a dream before. She liked drawing.


    It was just that at that time, the Farleys were not rich. After then she experienced that thing, she didn''t


    persist in her dream.


    But now, she felt that she should do something that she really wanted to do when she was young.


    In America, she had to raise her son. So it was impossible to bezy and gluttonous while you received


    financial help from your family.


    After Everly and Beth took a shower, theyy on the chairs on the balcony.


    It was slightly cold, but they wore thick pajamas.


    There were not many stars in the sky. But they feltfortable.


    "Everly, do you still remember when we were studying?"


    "When do you mean?"


    "When we first met, at that time, the air was clean, and there was no haze. We were simple at that


    time. We knew nothing about the future. We had nothing, but we didn''t fear."


    Beth said, "When I was a child, I wished I could grow up quickly. Now I am an adult. But I find it''s better


    to be a child."


    Everly agreed and asked with a smile, "Did you remember your love affairs with Lawrence in high


    school?"


    "My greatest regret is falling in love with him at that time."


    Everly was silent for a while.


    Beth did not want to talk about Lawrence anymore. She changed the topic, "You just asked me if


    Maverick wore sses. What do you mean?"


    Many things happened recently. In fact, Everly was not a person who was good at keeping everything


    to herself.


    She used to like toin to her friends.


    Now she could not control herself anymore and said, "There is one thing that I have never dared to tell


    anyone. Beth, you know that something happened to me five years ago. I do not know who that man is.


    I have asked my brother to find him, but I..."


    "What?" Beth turned to look at Everly.


    Everly bit her lips. A momentter, she said embarrassedly, "I met Maverick. Then in my dreams, I


    regarded him as that man several times. But I know the difference between him and me. To be honest,


    even if I have a good impression of him, I don''t like him. He is particrly overbearing."


    "So you asked me to investigate the shampoo brand?" Beth asked in disbelief.


    "Yes."


    "Had you truly drunk and can''t remember anything?"


    "I don''t have any impression of what had happened five years ago."


    "Has Hendrix found anything?"


    "Not at the moment. If he found, he would have told me immediately."


    Beth nodded. She suddenly thought of something and pushed Everly on the shoulder. "Everly, do you


    think your thought is crazy?"


    "Yes, it''s crazy," Everly nodded, "Hendrix told me before that the hotel staff happened to see it at that


    time and was impressed. The staff said that the man carrying me into the room was gentle and wore a


    pair of sses."


    "Wow."


    Beth became so excited. She felt she was a detective like Sherlock now. She thought for a moment


    and said, "Why don''t you ask Maverick?"


    "What?"


    "You are really stupid. Think about it, you had drunk at that time, but had that man drunk?"


    "How could I know?"


    Everly thought for a moment. Regardless of whether that man was Maverick or not, she should have


    casually chosen a man in the bar at that time.


    That man must be a drunkard. Otherwise, how could he sleep with someone easily?


    Beth knew what Everly was thinking. She asked, "Do you think men are as same as women? Most of


    the time, men only care about sex. Besides, even if you drank too much and can''t remember what


    happened. How could there be such a coincidence that Maverick drank too much and lost memory


    either? I think he should be good at drinking."


    "He is good at drinking?"


    "Of course. A man like him must have drunk a lot when he worked. Moreover, Maverick and his friends


    are born with silver spoons. They often gather together to drink and y with girls."


    "Drink? y with girls?


    Everly''s expression changed slightly.


    Beth suddenlyughed, "You said you didn''t like him. Look at yourself. Go to look at yourself in the


    mirror. As soon as I say they drink and y with girls, you look jealousy. My God, Everly, when you


    were dating Lucas in the past, you didn''t behave like this. Do you know? You are falling deep love with


    Maverick."


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    She felt that she could no longer talk with Beth.


    More importantly, Beth said she looked jealousy, which hit the nail on the head.


    Everly felt a little guilty and could not refute it.


    What was going on?


    Could it be as Beth said that she had fallen in love with Maverick?


    No, no, no, no.


    It was impossible, right?


    She had been in love before.


    She had been in love with Lucas for a few years.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    But at that time, they were young. What they thought was that improving together and entering a good


    university.


    It was totally different now. Maverick was getting entangled with her all the time.


    "I felt sleepy." Everly stood up.


    "Then go to sleep." Beth also yawned. Then, she thought of something and said, "By the way, I saw


    Sarah two days ago. She was with an old man at Store C and bought five bags. That''s how she is


    now."


    Until now Everly found that currently, she had unconcern for Sarah whom she used to hate greatly.


    ...


    Maverick coaxed his daughter to sleep in the evening.


    After Candy fell asleep, he took off his gold-rimmed sses and put down the fairy tale book.


    He pinched his nose and left the room quietly.


    As soon as he arrived at the study, the phone rang.


    Maverick looked at the number and pondered for a moment. Then he answered.


    A male voice quickly sounded, "Uncle Maverick, you must help me this time!"

 Chapter 107 I Want a One-night Stand

    Chapter 107 I Want a One-night Stand


    Maverick had two cousins, but only Lawrence dared to speak to him like this.


    Maverick knew why Lawrence called him. He looked at the watch and frowned, then asked, "It''s sote.


    Why are you calling?"


    Lawrence yelled, "Uncle Maverick, I''m sure Beth is in City C now. She had worked in yourpany


    before. Damn, I''m indeed stupid. I didn''t know that she had been working in yourpany. Can you


    help me investigate the information she registered?"


    Maverick said in a lower tone, "What did you and Byron talk about?"


    Lawrence was surprised by the question. After a moment, he reacted and immediately said, "I drank


    too much that day. But uncle, what I said is the truth."


    Maverick became serious and directly hung up the phone.


    Just a few secondster, the phone rang again. It was still Lawrence.


    Maverick kept a straight face and hung up the phone again. Then he threw his phone aside and went to


    the bathroom to take a shower.


    After taking a shower, he watched his phone. There were countless missed calls and several WeChat


    messages.


    All were from Lawrence.


    Lawrence: Uncle, I know I was wrong. Moreover, they have broken up for many years. To be honest,


    Lucas is scared of you. So he does not dare to do anything to her. Just help me this time.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Soft Lawrence: Uncle, please answer the phone."


    Lawrence: Uncle, are you have to be so narrow-minded? That''s a fact. When you married Aunt Everly


    in the future, wouldn''t everyone know about it even I didn''t mention it?


    Maverick smiled.


    He was pleased that Lawrence called Everly aunt.


    He was in a good mood. After thinking about it, he finally replied to Lawrence.


    Maverick: I will get someone to send you the information tomorrow. Besides, the woman you are


    looking for seems to be a friend of your aunt


    Lawrence quickly replied.


    Lawrence: Is it true? Thank you, uncle. I will always tter aunt Everly.


    Maverick: You call yourself. Does that mean you can''t be hard?


    No reply came.


    It seemed to hit the weak point of Lawrence. Maverick smiled and was about to put his phone down.


    But another message came in. It was not from Lawrence.


    He took a closer look and did not see it wrongly.


    It was from Everly.


    Maverick felt at this moment, he was like youth at eighteen. When he saw the WeChat message sent


    by Everly, his heart beat faster.


    Everly: Mr. Maverick, are you asleep?


    Maverick kept staring at the phone. The words were simple but he looked at them for a long time. But it


    was just Maverick thought it was long.


    In fact, only thirty seconds passed.


    He stared at it for a moment. Then something happened that left him speechless.


    That message suddenly disappeared.


    It showed Everly had withdrawn a message.


    Maverick frowned.


    Did she think he had not seen it?


    Moreover, it had shown she withdrew the massage. How was she going to exin it to him?


    He was about to reply, but another message came in.


    Everly: I''m sorry. I sent it to the wrong person. It''s not for you.


    Maverick was wordless.


    A faint sneer crossed his face.


    Maverick: Oh? Looks like someone else is also named Maverick and also happens to be your boss?


    ...


    The midnight was quiet.


    Everly had raised the phone high above her face. She was a little regretful. She failed to control herself


    and finally sent Maverick a message. Although she withdrew it quickly, the WeChat page showed she


    had withdrawn a message.


    She thought again and again and finally found an excuse. But unexpectedly, Maverick saw her


    message immediately atte night.


    Seeing Maverick''s reply, Everly was shocked that she didn''t even hold her phone properly. The phone


    pped her face.


    It hurt.


    She quickly grabbed her phone and thought about how she should exin it. Then another message


    came in.


    Maverick: What''s wrong?


    Everly thought about it, repeatedly deleting and typing. After a while, Maverick became impatient. He


    asked again.


    Maverick: What? Missing me?


    Everly felt wordless.


    Everly: Of course not.


    Maverick: You sure?


    Everly, "I don''t miss you."


    Maverick: Really? Then who are you contacting with your phone now? Isn''t it me? You don''t miss me?


    Everly: You are unreasonable.


    Maverick: You are deceiving yourself.


    Everly: I don''t.


    Everly looked at this conversation and hit her head. She didn''t know how to describe the conversation.


    It had no substantial meaning. But they continued this meaningless conversation. She felt somehow


    sweet.


    She was frightened by her thoughts. Now she couldn''t care about anything else and immediately typed.


    Everly: Mr. Maverick, I want to ask you something.


    Maverick: What?


    Everly thought about what she had just said to Beth. She tossed and turned but couldn''t fall asleep.


    She was the kind of person who couldn''t hide anything.


    Now, she was no longer in conflict with herself.


    Everly: Do you wear sses?


    Maverick: What?


    Everly: It can''t be asked?


    Maverick: If you want to know me, it''s fine. I usually wear contact lenses and only wear sses at


    home.


    Everly held her phone, her heart pounding.


    She didn''t know how to say it. Maybe it was just a coincidence.


    After all, she couldn''t confirm Maverick was that man just because he wore sses. But she could not


    control herself of getting rid of such thought.


    When she saw Maverick for the first time, he seemed to be the romantic partner in all her dreams.


    Could there be such a coincidence?


    She did not dare to think more.


    Her phone vibrated again. It was a message from Maverick.


    "What else do you want to know about me?"


    Everly decided to ask the questions to the end.


    Everly: You used to live in Italy?


    Maverick: Yes.


    Everly: When did youe back to City C?


    Maverick: I often came back a few years ago but settled down two years ago.


    Everly continued typing, "Then, did youe back five years ago? It was probably in April and May."


    She was ready to send it but thought it was inappropriate. She deleted and typed again.


    "Mr. Maverick, I want to ask a private question. Hope you won''t mind."


    But what did she want to ask?


    ''Mr. Maverick, did you sleep with a strange woman five years ago?''


    It was not proper. She could not do that.


    Besides, even if the man was Maverick, as rich and famous as he was, there must be a lot of women


    who tempted him. He might not remember whom he had slept with.


    Then asking him the one-night stand?


    Maybe a one-night stand was special?


    Thinking of this, Everly deleted the previous words and retyped, "I want a one-night stand..."


    Just as she finished this sentence, Beth, who was sleeping on the side, probably dreamed. One of her


    arms pped Everly. Everly was shocked. Then the sentence was sent.


    Everly: I want a one-night stand.


    She stared at her phone. She even forgot to withdraw it.

 Chapter 108 Just Admit It

    Chapter 108 Just Admit It


    Everly knew even if she withdrew the message, she was like covering her ears and stealing a bell.


    She quickly typed with trembling hands.


    Everly: I''m sorry. I made a mistake. I don''t mean a one-night stand.


    The more urgent you were, the more mistakes you would make. Anyway, after Everly sent the next


    message, she felt more regretful.


    She felt she merely added insult to injury.


    As expected, Maverick replied.


    When Everly saw the reply, she threw her phone on the bedside table. Her face turned red. She


    thought it was enough, so she turned off her phone. It was a temporary escape.


    But the screen notification filled her mind and made her crazy.


    Maverick replied, "If you want, I agree. No matter how many times you want, I agree."


    Everly didn''t what to do.


    Just gave her a knife.


    She wanted to kill herself.


    ...


    Everly could not fall asleep.


    So did Maverick. He felt anxious.


    Everly suddenly mentioned the one-night stand. But she would not want to do such a thing.


    Maverick was meticulous. Combined with the inexplicable questions Everly had asked him just now, he


    could guess that she would not suddenly ept him. Something must happen.


    He might not know her well.


    Even Everly was drunk and slept with him five years ago, she would never have the courage to say


    such words to him at this time.


    Did she finallye round?


    Maverick kept thinking. He became more anxious.


    Now he didn''t care what Everly had experienced and what kind of man she married in the past five


    years.


    Sometimes people might bended in a predicament.


    No matter she was good or bad and what happened to her, you were not willing to bring it up. You just


    wanted to put her deeply in your heart.


    What''s more, you wanted to give her all your love.


    He got up and went to the balcony to smoke. He was thinking about how she would face him if she


    remembered everything.


    He thought of what Everly usually acted. When facing him, she sometimes was unreasonable and


    sometimes was submissive.


    Maverick narrowed his eyes and dusted off his cigarette. His mind was full of Everly. He smiled and


    puffed out the smoke.


    He murmured to himself, ''Next time I''ll teach you a lesson in the bed, then you won''t forget it anymore.''


    ...


    Maybe influenced by the messages Maverick sent, Everly tossed and turned. When she finally fell


    asleep, she kept dreaming.


    All the dreams were about Maverick.


    Everly felt was going to be crazy.


    When she woke up the next day, she felt dizzy. She felt pain in her lower abdomen. She checked the


    date. It seemed to be the period. She went to the bathroom and took a look. She was right.


    She always felt weak on the first day.


    She had handed the resignation letter to Maverick, but he refused to approve it. Today was a normal


    working day.


    Everly thought this matter had to be resolved.


    Beth had to go to work today. When they were having breakfast, Everly said to Beth, "I''ll go to the


    Beth nced at Gloria, who was busy in the kitchen, and said in a low voice, "You decide to resign?"


    "Yes."


    "I resigned too."


    Everly was surprised, "No way! Has thepany approved?"


    "I regard these days as annual leaves. After all, I don''t care that few sries."


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Everly gave her a thumbs-up. She thought for a moment and said, "I want to go the distance. I don''t


    want to go to work anymore. I want to resign first and then take drawing lessons. I wille back to


    work after having a good rest. In that case, I don''t have to mention I was in a mess at myst


    Beth said with a smile, "It makes sense. I will apany youter. Moreover, I''vee round to the


    idea now. You are right. I can''t always hide and live in a mess."


    "Are you not afraid?"


    "In fact, I think I can''t hide anymore."


    Just as Everly was about to say something, Gloria came out with two deep-fried breadsticks. She gave


    one to Beth and said in a soft tone, "Beth, I haven''t seen you for many years. You are getting more and


    more beautiful. Where are you working now?"


    Beth said, "Auntie, I''m going to start my own business."


    Everly nced at Beth.


    "Here?" Gloria was quite happy.


    "Yes."


    "What do you n to do?"


    "I want to open a coffee shop. My father had left me some money. Anyway, I''m still young. It''s good to


    take the opportunity to do something I like."


    Gloria agreed, "That''s right. Since you don''t have a ce to stay, you can stay here. It''s not good to


    share a room with Everly. There are guest rooms. I will prepare one for you today."


    Beth thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I have an apartment in City C. I just want to see Everly so


    I came yesterday. I will live in my own apartment since today."


    Gloria did not force Beth to stay.


    After breakfast, Everly and Beth went out. Hendrix had taken Edmond to his house yesterday. So Beth


    did not see Edmond this time.


    Everly got a car from the garage and asked Beth to drive.


    After getting in the car, Everly asked Beth, "Are you really have an apartment?"


    "Of course."


    "That''s good. Don''t stay in the hotel."


    Beth said, "I just want to avoid that one. I indeed have an apartment."


    Everly, "If Lawrence really goes too far, just tell me. There arews in this world. Don''t suffer alone."


    Beth turned the steering wheel. She bantered, "Lawrence is quite afraid of Maverick. How about you


    putting in a good word for me in front of Maverick?"


    "Don''t talk nonsense." Everly couldn''t bear such words at the moment. She became strained.


    "Then why do you blush?"


    "No, I''m not."


    "Stop lying. Just admit."


    "Concentrate on driving!"


    They arrived at the Lamont Group.


    It was still early. When Everly got out of the car, Beth was parking.


    Everly stood at the door of the elevator. Many colleagues arrived at this time. Working at such a big


    Therefore, quite a number of employees arrived at the elevator entrance.


    Everly had only worked in a short time here and didn''t get familiar with her colleagues. At this time, she


    was standing at the elevator entrance. She found four or five people pointing at her and talking about


    her in a low voice.


    Everly frowned. She turned to look at them. They were all female colleagues. When they saw her


    doubtful look, they didn''t feel ashamed of backbiting.


    A bold one stepped forward and looked at Everly. She said with sarcasm, "Ms. Everly, you don''t need


    to act like you are very capable. We didn''t mention the name. Besides, we only talked in private. Isn''t it


    too disgusting for you to do that?"

 Chapter 109 Do You Believe That I Will Cut Off Your Tongues?

    Chapter 109 Do You Believe That I Will Cut Off Your Tongues?


    Everly was stunned and confused at their words.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    But she could sense their hostility.


    She could figure out the reason.


    Everly had no interest in participating in the intrigue and forming cliques among colleagues. She also


    did not want to waste her time and energy to exin or refute.


    She lookedpletely indifferent.


    Everly looked away. Just then, the elevator door opened with a ding. Everly was going to get on the


    elevator. The woman thought that Everly was arrogant when she saw Everly''s indifferent expression.


    She didn''t like Everly, and now she thought that Everly was arrogant. She wouldn''t let Everly go.


    Everly stepped forward and tripped over the woman. She was caught off guard and staggered forward.


    Her forehead almost hit the elevator door.


    Fortunately, she quickly put her hands on the door to avoid the embarrassing situations happening.


    However, Everly was not a pushover. Usually, she couldn''t be bothered to waste time arguing. The


    woman had already bullied her, so she couldn''t pretend that she didn''t hear anything.


    Everly was going to give the woman a taste of her own medicine.


    She steadied herself, and without waiting for the woman to becent, she also pushed the


    woman.


    The woman did not expect that Everly would fight back.


    She was unprepared and her head mmed into the elevator door.


    Two colleagues were standing by the side, and they were stunned.


    Everly crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, "I don''t care what you say behind my back.


    Anyway, I can''t stop you from speaking. But don''t be shameless in front of me. Don''t think that people


    are all as bad as you."


    "What a joke. A shameless woman who relies on sexual rtionships to get the promotion dares to be


    arrogant in front of us!" With Everly''s hard tone, these women couldn''t let her go easily.


    This time, the war of words waspletely triggered.


    However, Everly didn''t want to be like a shrew cursing on the streets. She didn''t want to argue with


    these women, but she definitely couldn''t hear them gossiping about her.


    How could they say that she was relying on sexual rtionships to get the promotion?


    Although she was intimate with Maverick, she was not relying on their rtionship to get the promotion.


    She had a son and Maverick also had a daughter.


    They were not married.


    In other words, today she epted Maverick. No matter they were together for a sexual rtionship or


    love, they were not unfaithful. What were they shameful about?


    Everly was not the one to be trifled with. She couldn''t stand others talking about her like this.


    She was annoyed and her face clouded over.


    "Do you have any evidence? If you don''t have any evidence, I can sue you for defamation. Now you


    could defame as long as you have a mouth, right? The cost is low. You talk nonsense when you are


    bored and not working. Now you dare to say this in front of me. Believe it or not, I can make you unable


    to work here," Everly stared at the woman and said.


    Her tone was not very harsh.


    However, she said clearly and firmly.


    These people had already been clear about Everly''s background.


    Of course, they also knew that Everly had a brother called Hendrix.


    But who was Hendrix?


    He was not born in a noble family. He used to be a gangster, but he was quite smart. Now he was a big


    boss.


    These people were resentful of sessful people like Hendrix.


    Especially in this situation, how could one control his words?


    "You make me scared. We will lose our jobs? Are you going to tell Mr. Maverick during the pillow talk? I


    have seen many shameless people. It is the first time I have seen someone as shameless as you.


    When you were in high school, you were hanging out with Mr. Lucas. You weren''t a virgin from high


    school, right? Everyone in thepany knows about your glorious deeds. The woman that Mr. Lucas


    hung out with dares to stick to Mr. Maverick. You are so dirty!" The woman said.


    "Speak of dirty, nothing can''tpare to your mouth!" Beth said.


    Beth swung the car keys. As she spoke, she pped the woman badly.


    With a bang, the situation was extremely embarrassing.


    There was a dead silence.


    Everly did not expect that Beth would quickly p the woman.


    Her eyes were twitching. This was indeed her style.


    Although her name sounded gentle, when she was in school, she acted like a little bully.


    At that time, she was spoiled by Lawrence. It was said that Lawrence was the big bully in the Bevell''s


    Mansion since childhood. Later, he fell in love with Beth. Beth was a little rebellious. At that time, the


    Carter family had a lot of troubles. When Beth was with Lawrence, she was two-faced at first. On one


    hand, she was delicate and cute. On the other hand, she acted like a bully.


    "Where did this slute from?" The corner of the woman''s mouth was swollen. How could she have


    known that she would be pped? And this woman standing beside Everly did not look familiar. She


    thought, "Was she a helper of Everly?"


    No matter who she was, after being pped, these women, who usually liked to gossip, had to fight


    back.


    However, they didn''t know that Beth had learned Sanda.


    The three women rushed over crazily. Beth pushed Everly away. She immediately kicked them and


    pped the three women.


    She knocked the three women to the ground.


    Beth pped her hands and looked down at the three women with a sneer. "You are so weak! You


    have no other abilities except for gossiping. Do you like to gossip? Do you believe that I will cut off your


    tongues?"


    One woman covered her face and said angrily, "You bitch! There are surveince cameras. You dare to


    hit people, I will call the police! You can''t leave!"


    She trembled when taking out her cell phone and was going to call the police.


    Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind them.


    Everly''s ears twitched slightly. She seemed to have identified who it was. She saw that Jayden quickly


    stood in front of her, and her wrist had been held by the other guy.


    She looked up and found that it was Maverick.


    Everly was surprised, and she felt a little embarrassed.


    It was like a child causing trouble but was caught red-handed. Why did she have this feeling?


    She struggled slightly.


    Maverick did not let go of her.


    Everly pondered for a moment and was about to speak. Maverick pushed Jayden away and ordered


    him, "Go and get the surveince videos."


    Jayden nodded and quickly left.


    The three women could not wait to get up from the ground.


    "Mr. Maverick!"


    The three women said happily. They had been in the Lamont Group for many years, but they did not


    have chances to see Maverick.

 Chapter 110 I Dont Feel Wronged

    Chapter 110 I Don''t Feel Wronged


    There''s no absolute fairness in the world.


    No matter where Maverick was, he was the most dazzling one who was superior to others.


    It was known that he was indifferent.


    In addition to the high-level managers, few employees could see Maverick.


    Why were these women so jealous of Everly that they were all going crazy?


    It was because that in their opinions, Everly was superior to the airborne forces.


    Not only could shee and leavepany together with Mr. Maverick, but she could also get close


    to him.


    When those photos were spread, these people kept abusing Everly. But they were actually admiring


    her.


    Each woman wanted to be Everly.


    It didn''t matter even if she would be scolded behind her back.


    But there was only one Everly.


    She was now being held by Maverick.


    When these women saw this, they were the only ones who knew the overwhelming jealousy in their


    hearts.


    They heard that Maverick had asked Jayden to check the surveince videos. They thought that Mr.


    Maverick would not disregard the truth. Moreover, they were the ones who had been beaten. Now they


    were even thinking that they had to tell Mr. Maverick that Everly was not a good person.


    "Mr. Maverick, Ms. Everly is too much. She dares to hit people in thepany," One woman said.


    Another woman nodded immediately, "Mr. Maverick, you must help us. We are all worked for Lamont


    Group for many years."


    The other one also had red eyes and looked pitiful, "We didn''t say anything, but Ms. Everly directly hit


    us and brought her aplices. We are all employees of Lamont Group, how can she do this to us?


    Ms. Everly also said that she couldy off us because she is your secretary. Mr. Maverick, we are all


    conscientious and work hard. How dare is this bitch speak like that!"


    ...


    The three women began to wipe their tears.


    Everly was speechless.


    Everly thought, "It is really a waste for these people to work in Lamont Group. With such good acting


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    skills and eloquence, they should be able to win a big prize if they work in the entertainment industry."


    She admitted that she had indeed argued with them.


    But if they hadn''t provoked her, she would not have bothered to argue.


    Now they acted like that she was an unpardonable criminal who threw weight around.


    She was about to speak. But she felt that Maverick kept holding her wrist tightly.


    For some reason, at this moment, she suddenly came up with an idea.


    "I don''t need to exin. Maverick doesn''t seem to take these clowns'' words seriously," Everly thought.


    She didn''t know what she was relying on, but she was getting more confident.


    One could not hide their vanity. She had to admit that at this moment, she was a little excited that


    Maverick was standing beside her.


    However, Beth was not going to keep silent. She stepped forward and sneered, "I was the one who


    beat you. If you don''t gossip and insult Everly, how would I beat you? Can''t you just focus on your


    works? Why do you meddle in others'' business? You even tried to block others. If you can''t block


    people, don''t even try it."


    Her words were ruthless and overbearing.


    The three women who had just been beaten by her did not dare to speak.


    Beth usually wore a wig and a pair of sses when she worked in Lamont Group.


    Today, she came over without any disguise. Of course, these people did not recognize her.


    It was just a farce, and Maverick did not want to waste time on it.


    Maverick had just arrived at thepany and saw that they seemed to have had a dispute. However,


    he did not know that these people even beat Everly.


    Maverick immediately examined Everly''s body and asked, "Have you been injured?"


    Everly was stunned and shook her head.


    Although they pushed Everly, she didn''t consider it as being injured.


    Maverick raised his eyebrows and looked at the three women. A glimmer of displeasure showed in his


    lips, "You guys don''t have to go to work today. HR willplete the dismissal of you tomorrow."


    After that, he pulled Everly into the elevator directly.


    Beth raised her eyebrows and secretly whistled. She thought that Maverick was really a great man.


    The three women were startled.


    The employee benefits of Lamont Group were very good. They had worked in Lamont Group for many


    years and had the chance to promote. Who would be willing to be fired just like that?


    They immediately chased up to plead.


    "Mr. Maverick, you can''t fire us. It was Everly! She provoked us first. Do you want to be a fatuous ruler,


    Mr. Maverick? We are all regr employees. We won''t ept being fired like this!"


    "You won''t ept it?" Maverick asked.


    Maverick was pressing the elevator button. He looked impatient. The woman even blocked the elevator


    doors. Maverick was annoyed. His face was gloomy and he said coldly, "Lamont Group will not keep


    the employees who only create rumors in thepany forum. It''s useless toin to me now. In


    the future, when you work in anotherpany, just learn how to recognize whom you can offend and


    whom you can''t provoke. Get out, or I''ll call the security."


    He did not speak out about everything.


    But he was protecting Everly. His intention was not obvious, but others could figure it out.


    The three women could understand his words. Beth could understand it, and so did Everly.


    He did not mention Everly and did not say that Everly was the one who could not be provoked.


    This was because he would always care about Everly''s feelings.


    Beth sighed and felt like she was witnessing the public disy affection.


    And the three women also understood at the same time that they could no longer stay in Lamont


    Group.


    Although they were extremely unwilling, they had no other choice but to leave.


    If the security came, how embarrassed would they be?


    The elevator doors slowly closed.


    Beth didn''t enter the elevator to disturb them.


    However, they all saw that the moment the door closed, the man with the cold eyes slowly turned


    around. He suddenly became gentle when looking at the woman beside him.


    "It''s my fault," Maverick waited for the elevator door to close and said in a low voice, "Have you been


    wronged?"


    Everly didn''t think she was wronged.


    Moreover, he had just fight back for her.


    However, this kind of thing was very boring for Everly. She was very clear that these rumors couldn''t be


    avoided when she was with Maverick. If one was stopped from spreading rumors, there would be


    countless people gossiping.


    Therefore, she was not particrly concerned about it.


    Everly shook her head gently, wanting Maverick to let go of her hands.


    He was like a shining spot. It was not his fault. There was no issue if they were closer to each other.


    The biggest issue was the gap between them.


    "It''s okay. Beth helped to beat them. I don''t feel wronged. Let go of my hands first."

 Chapter 111 Maverick, Do You Really Like Me?

    Chapter 111 Maverick, Do You Really Like Me?


    Maverick didn''t let go of her hands.


    Everly was very clear that he had always been domineering, and he was even unreasonable. No


    matter how she struggled, he would not change.


    After the argument with the three women, she felt a little tired.


    "I came here today for work handover," Everly said.


    Maverick looked at her, "Are you angry?"


    Everly looked up in surprise.


    He didn''t answer the question. He seemed very careful when speaking.


    Everly thought, "He is afraid that I would be angry because of what just happened?


    ...


    "He is Maverick, who will neverpromise with others. He doesn''t need to consider others'' feelings.


    He is eligible to be arrogant and self-centered.


    "He runs the business very well, and he already had a high social status and has a lot of money


    overseas.


    "But now, he is looking at me carefully, asking if I am angry,"


    Everly couldn''t say anything else. Her throat felt dry, and she shook her head, "I''m not angry."


    "I''ll get someone to clear the posts on the forum," He said.


    "As you know, these are not the root causes of the problem. The rumors of the masses can not be


    blocked," Everly said in a low voice, "But I don''t care about it."


    Others could say whatever they wanted, if she was really so concerned, how could she live peacefully?


    Perhaps it was because Maverick was warm and soft now, which was different from his face. The


    contrast made Everly feel hot and could not help but speak out her thoughts,


    "When I was 20 years old, I broke up with my boyfriend and was betrayed by my best friend," She


    paused for a moment, and her voice became a little sad, "I was very sad at that time. But now I feel


    that I''ve already ovee the biggest setback in my life. Being a single mother and living with the child


    abroad was hard. No matter how open it is abroad, there were some idle gossips. It can''t be avoided,


    so I really don''t care about it."


    Maverick suddenly asked her, "Single mother? Your ex-husband did not take care of you and your


    child?"


    Hendrix had asked someone to deliberately hide all the things rted to her. It was not that Maverick


    did not want to investigate. In the beginning, he did not pay much attention to her. When he started


    caring about her, he felt that there were many things that he could wait for her to speak out at the right


    time.


    Now that they were talking about it, Maverick asked directly. He couldn''t wait anymore.


    He asked, "Why did you go abroad? After you went abroad, why did you marry an American? To take


    revenge on your ex-boyfriend?"


    Everly was speechless when hearing his words.


    These were the things that she wanted to hide the most.


    She knew that these things could not be concealed.


    Jack was her husband in name, and now they had divorced. Edmond would never be Jack''s son


    because Edmond was not a mixed-blood.


    Everly did not know how to exin it.


    She wanted to say something, but she didn''t. She thought that there was no need for her to exin to


    him.


    With their current rtionship, they could not share secrets. Moreover, those were the secrets that


    were hidden deep within her mind. She would not easily tell others.


    Moreover, her brother was also investigating the man from back then.


    Everly was indeed suspiciousst night. But she now thought that she must be crazy.


    She swallowed her saliva and did not answer. Instead, she pointed at Maverick''s wrist, "Mr. Maverick,


    what brand is the watch you usually wear?"


    This was thest hope that slowly emerged from the depths of her heart.


    What if that man she met five years ago was him?


    Everly was nervous, but she thought that she had enough courage to tell him everything if there was at


    least one clue.


    She couldn''t confirm anything else, but she was confirmed that she had feelings for Maverick.


    It was just that she was still struggling with their rtionship.


    Maverick also did not expect that she would ask him about his watch. He seemed to be stunned for a


    moment. Then, he instinctively raised his hand. Under the sleeve of the white shirt, half of the name list


    was covered.


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat.


    She hesitated for a moment, and she felt that she was about to find out the truth.


    She took a deep breath. Maverick looked at her, and he was waiting for her to check. Everly


    unbuttoned his shirt cuffs.


    It was also a luxury watch.


    But she knew that it was definitely not the same as the one in the picture of her brother''s phone.


    Everly had fluctuating emotions. In the end, Everly was very clear that she was disappointed.


    In fact, she was not so good at hiding her emotions. A shrewd person like Maverick could figure out


    what she was thinking by her facial expression.


    Last night, she asked Maverick a few questions via WeChat.


    She also asked him about the watch.


    Maverick frowned. The moment the elevator door opened, he grabbed Everly''s wrist and pulled her into


    his office.


    Once the door closed, Everly''s back was pressed against the door.


    She was stunned by the smell of sea salt on his body. It was so familiar. Her heart was beating so fast


    that she could not control herself. She blurted out, "Maverick, have you ever had a one-night stand with


    a stranger?"


    They were extremely close to each other.


    The reflection of their eyes was the other''s face.


    He seemed to be calm and restrained. But she could see the sh of emotions in his eyes when she


    asked the question.


    Everly could not tell what she was looking forward to at this moment.


    She felt a little regretful after raising the question.


    Maverick put his hand on the corner of her mouth and said, "Why do you ask about it?"


    "I..." Everly lowered her head and wanted to avoid his aggressive gaze, but Maverick did not let her go.


    He pinched her chin. She said, "Maverick."


    "Yes?" He replied.


    "Do you really like me?" Everly asked.


    He did not answer immediately.


    In fact, her mind was in a mess, but she could not tell what she was expecting.


    Maverick felt that Everly was a little different sincest night. No matter how capable he was, even if he


    could take control of the business, he couldn''t see through others.


    In fact, he had never wasted time on women.


    Let alone trying to figure out what the woman was thinking.


    At first, he knew that she was drunk five years ago and had slept with him.


    He didn''t care about it. At that time, he had always been a little repulsed for caring for a woman.


    But now he figured out that she had always been in his heart, even if it was just a vague shadow.


    The time passed by.


    What happened five years ago was something he couldn''t say. He thought about using the same way


    to jog her memory.


    However, he was not willing to do it.


    He also considered telling her directly.


    But he didn''t want to speak out.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Maverick thought that she would recall one day.


    What''s more, what happened that night didn''t mean anything.


    But he thought that she might have some impressions of him when she asked him questions.


    Everly was more disappointed at his silence.


    If he even had to consider whether he liked her or not, then what else she expected?

 Chapter 112 Cant Help Falling In Love with Him

    Chapter 112 Can''t Help Falling In Love with Him


    A woman sometimes might be in a strange mood.


    For example, Everly had kept persuading herself that she and Maverick were not a match for each


    other.


    They were not from the same world.


    But when she realized that he had no feelings for her, she could not help but feel disappointed.


    She had a lump in her throat. She knew that it might be too emotional for her to cry in this situation.


    But for some unknown reasons, she just couldn''t collect herself.


    Seeing Everly''s eyes turn red, Maverick was surprised and lowered his head.


    Just as he was about to ask her what was going on, it suddenly came to him what she might be


    thinking.


    He then bit his tongue and asked instead, "What''s wrong? Are you unhappy?"


    Everly''s heart ached and she felt that he was asking a question whose answer he already knew.


    She red at him and replied, "Nothing. It''s just that my eyes are not feeling well. Can you let me go


    now? I came to resign today!"


    "Everly, you are so two-faced," he said, staring at her intently.


    "I''m not!"


    "You are."


    "Maverick, are you ying a trick on me out of boredom?"


    Hearing this, Maverick kissed her without any exnation, his eyes darkened.


    They had done something more intimate than this.


    Butpared to sex, kissing was more exciting and could feel a deep affinity with each other most of


    the time.


    His kisses weren''t as cold and indifferent as she had expected.


    She felt herself melting in his strong arms.


    She didn''t struggle.


    For a while, Maverick''s body was pressing against hers. He kissed her fiercely and passionately.


    She had a weakness for his touch. When his tongue got into her mouth, she could only receive it.


    The kisssted for a long time until Everly was running out of breath. The feeling of disappointment just


    now was turned into romance.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The tip of his nose was against hers.


    The two of them were breathing heavily.


    His hot breath sprayed on her face and his chest was heaving.


    Everly did not dare to move.


    Because she could feel the bulge in his pants.


    At least, he had desires for her.


    Thinking of this, she felt bitter happiness.


    They rubbed their noses intimately. He said in a hoarse and low voice, "Isn''t it obvious? I have been


    chasing after you all the time."


    Everly held her breath.


    "You''ve asked me if I liked you, and this is my answer. I haven''t touched any woman. You are the only


    one."


    Everly''s heart was pounding with excitement. Her face was red, and her eyes were wet.


    Seeing how attractive she was, Maverick felt his throat tightened.


    He wanted her.


    "I''m not ying a trick on you. I never do such a boring thing. I''ve told you before and I will say it again.


    I''m serious."


    As he spoke, he continually kissed her on the corner of her mouth. "Everly, you are such a smart girl.


    Don''t you know that I''ve tried my best to make you love me?"


    Trembling, Everly couldn''t say a word. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed him by the shirt


    near his waist. She slightly raised her neck, receiving his kisses.


    "I don''t care about your past. All I want is your present and the future."


    It would be fine by him if Everly couldn''t recognize him as the man five years ago.


    For now, all he wanted was the woman in his arms.


    "I know you have feelings for me." His hand gently stroked Everly''s nape. "What made you hesitate?


    The gossips? Or do you still have some doubts about my love?"


    Everly was speechless.


    "If I hear others talking behind your back, I will punish them so that they won''t do it again. If you think I


    am not good enough, just say it."


    Everly didn¡¯t reply.


    No woman could refuse such an outstanding man who was hugging her and having a sweet talk.


    Everly admitted that she was just an ordinary woman.


    Her heart leaped.


    "What do you like about me?"


    She asked in a soft voice. She hadn''t noticed how sweet her voice was.


    "If I can describe it, it won''t be you." Maverick kissed the corner of her lips and continued, "It''s fine if


    you don''t want to work in the Lamont Group. But I don''t want you to be someone else''s secretary if you


    don''t want to be mine. Forget about your previous job. If you want to do something else, I will support


    you."


    "I liked drawing. I want to take painting lessons."


    "OK."


    Everly remained silent for a while.


    "My daughter''s birthday ising soon. Will you bring your son along then?" Maverick asked naturally.


    They had hugged each other in the office.


    They had kissed for a long time.


    He had told her how he felt.


    She hade to enjoy his touch.


    And now he invited her and her son to his daughter''s birthday party.


    He said so naturally as if they had be a family, the four of them. It sounded that she did not need


    to worry too much about it.


    Everly did not know if they could be a family.


    And she didn''t want to think about it now.


    There was a romantic atmosphere between them.


    They were adults and it just happened naturally.


    In the past, Everly had never known that she was the kind of person who would be aroused so easily.


    It seemed that from that time when she was drugged, something had changed in her. To be specific,


    she would be aroused every time Maverick touched her.


    Like now.


    She let out a muffled groan.


    Her fingers clutching Maverick''s shirt were trembling. Maverick picked her up and threw her onto the


    sofa.


    He bent his legs and knelt in front of her.


    Well-dressed, he looked down at her with a stern expression.


    But there was a surge of desire for her in his eyes.


    He was crazy for her only.


    Everly''s heart melted.


    Looking at Maverick''s perfect jaw,


    She couldn''t help falling in love with him.

 Chapter 113 To Announce Candy Was a Member of the Lamont Family

    Chapter 113 To Announce Candy Was a Member of the Lamont Family


    Miley had a hard time these days.


    She was locked up at home by Jenson.


    She didn''t get the pink diamond, and she also had news that Maverick bought it.


    Miley knew him well, so she was clear whom he bought it for.


    After all, that woman also went to the auction.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Miley always took care to prevent her sister from approaching Maverick, but to her surprise, she lost to


    an outsider.


    Naturally, she would not give up.


    Ever since the incident at the hospitalst time, she wouldn''t believe in the so-called sister bond.


    It was all bullshit. When it was critical, people cared about nobody but themselves.


    If Miley hadn''t insisted that Candy was allergic to tomatoes, Carolina would have been in big trouble as


    well.


    Carolina set Miley up and Miley did fall for it. As a result, Miley left a bad impression on Maverick and


    Jenson.


    Miley stayed at home these days. Since that day when she embarrassed herself in front of Jenson and


    his secretary, she pretended to be obedient.


    She also saw that her father was very busy.


    It was because many of the Kahl family''s businesses were shut down by the Lamont Group midway.


    Ever since the article "The Kahl Family''s Princess Was Dissolute When Studying Abroad" was posted


    on social media, things had been tough for both Miley and Carolina. But in fact, the rumors about Miley


    might be spread by Carolina to divert the public attention.


    Every one of the Kahl family knew about this.


    Carolina was just trying to get rid of those negativements.


    In short, now that Carolina was heartless, Miley would show no mercy to her.


    This failure taught Miley a lesson that if she wanted to fight against Everly, she could not be so bold.


    Instead, she decided to start from inside the Kahl family.


    At the very least, she should teach Carolina a lesson.


    Thus, Miley began to buy off people of the Lamont Group.


    She kept pretending to be nice, so when Jenson was on a business trip, he asked the bodyguards to


    stop watching her. And she got the opportunity to go out.


    Thements online were very bad for her. Anyway, Miley knew that Carolina also stayed at home for


    the past few days.


    Then, Miley went out in disguise.


    However, when she arrived at the Lamont Group, she saw a drama through the car window.


    Everly was fighting with three female employees. In the end, Maverick appeared and took her away.


    Seeing this, Miley felt very jealous.


    But she knew she could not be a loose cannon. Otherwise, her family''s businesses would keep being


    shut down by the Lamont Group, and her father would be furious.


    Unless something unexpected happened, the Kahl family would officially announce the cancetion of


    the engagement soon.


    Miley immediately contacted those female employees.


    After beating around that bush, she figured out what had happened.


    The employees hated Everly very much. They embellished the story and made it different from the


    truth.


    As for the rtionship between Everly and them, Miley was not interested.


    She recorded all they said.


    Back at home, after consideration, she got someone to edit the records and then began to contact


    someone in the Lamont Group.


    She also got the information about Everly''s former boyfriend and some of Everly''s private life.


    Along with Hendrix''s background, Miley hired professional trolls to exaggerate the negative information


    and asked someone to secretly pass it to Carolina.


    Miley was very careful and cautious, so few people knew she was the architect of the plot.


    At the very least, when Carolina obtained this information, she did not know that it was prepared by


    Miley.


    Carolina was in a terrible state because of the embarrassingments online.


    Even the secret that she had had a little stic surgery was exposed.


    She tried to ask for help from the Kahl Group.


    But Jenson was too busy.


    There were many coborative projects between the Kahl Group and the Lamont Group in the past.


    They were shut down because of some problems with the funds. What was worse, Jenson was


    involved in some illegal businesses these years, so he was in danger now. The Kahl family was


    powerful in City C and Jenson was well-connected, so the Kahl family was not so easy to be defeated.


    However, everything happened so quickly, and Jenson would not pay attention to these trivial things.


    Carolina was anxious, and in her opinion, she could divert the attention of the public through this


    information.


    After thinking for only half a day, she began to get people to prepare.


    The Lamonts were busy as well.


    They were in a vi at the top of a mountain in City C.


    Will was going to y golf with his friends as usual.


    Zane had just finished taking his medicine. When he saw Will walking down the stairs, he called out,


    "Dad."


    "I''ll go out first." Will adjusted the cor of his clothes.


    He was in his fifties, but he was popr among women when he was young. At this age, he had fine


    features like his ancestors.


    Zane said, "Dad, I have something to tell you. Give me five minutes."


    Will stopped. "What is it?" he thought of something and said, "Has Maverick been very restless


    recently? After Den, he provokes Jenson. He has almost offended all the seniors. If you want to talk


    with me about this, I already know. Also, tell him that he must be responsible for what he did. I will not


    help him."


    Zane didn''t reply.


    Will looked very defiant.


    But in fact, he knew his sons were more capable than him. Maverick was the kind of person who could


    not be controlled at all. Compared with Maverick, Will was talentless, so what he said was only a bluff.


    As for Zane...


    Sometimes, Will felt that Zane was more sinister than Maverick.


    Will couldn''t help wondering why his sons were all weirdos.


    Perhaps they all followed their grandfather.


    Zane said, "Candy''s birthday wille soon. I want to hold a birthday banquet in the name of the


    Lamont family and officially announce that Candy is a member of our family."


    "Whose idea is it? Maverick?" Will said with a disdainful look on his face, "He said he would not want to


    Group, but now he is the president. And now, why does he want to do so?"

 Chapter 114 Edmond Betrayed Everly Again

    Chapter 114 Edmond Betrayed Everly Again


    Zane nced at Will with a cold and indifferent expression. "It is my idea."


    Willughed, "You are really a good brother. It urs to me that you are also that child''s uncle."


    Zane said, "Dad, you are her grandfather. No matter what, she is Maverick''s daughter. Although


    Maverick doesn''t say anything, we should take it seriously. She is a member of the Lamont Group.


    Grandpa held the same view."


    Will was always afraid of his father.


    Thus, he snorted but did not say anything else.


    Zane tried not to embarrass Will, so he added, "Then I will make the arrangements. Although Grandpa


    has been angry that Maverick was absent from his birthday banquet, he never mentions it. Maverick


    can exin to him at Candy''s birthday banquet. No matter what, we are family."


    Will snorted and left.


    Zane sat on the sofa, and gently pinched his legs.


    He had been crippled for many years, so he didn''t feel any pain.


    It had been a long time since thest time he recalled the past.


    He never forgot it. Every time he thought about it, he would feel miserable, even though his legs were


    numb.


    Zane kept sitting like this and didn''t move at all.


    Since he was crippled, he always remained silent.


    He waspletely different from Maverick.


    The servants also knew what kind of people he was.


    A few servants came to the living room and found that Maverick was sitting upright with a strange


    expression. They dared not approach him.


    Will had two sons and a daughter who was not at home all year round. And probably none of the new


    servants had ever seen her.


    Zane was the only one who stayed at home every day.


    It seemed that he didn''t care about anything. If he was not in the study, nobody knew what he was


    doing.


    He was so reclusive that the others all thought him unfathomable.


    The Lamont family, in the eyes of outsiders, was morous, and it had been renowned for generations.


    But a closer look would reveal that the Lamonts were all cold, indifferent, and emotionless.


    Only Zane knew what he was thinking.


    He should wait a little longer. It had been so many years.


    He reached out and gently pressed down on his chest, dropping his eyes. His long eyshes covered


    most of the emotions in his eyes.


    ...


    Everly stayed at home and did not go out for two days.


    It was Saturday, so Edmond needn''t go to kindergarten. Everly dressed up and went to his room.


    Once she entered it, she saw that Edmond was fiddling with the model that Maverick had given him.


    Everly did not know that this expensive model was from Maverick. But now, she didn''t want to see it.


    Exactly, she didn''t want to see anything that was rted to Maverick.


    She even didn''t want to think of him.


    If it were not for him, she could have gone out.


    She recalled what happened at the office that day...


    Then, she flushed. Seeing that she was standing at the door and looking down with a red face,


    Edmond thought she was ufortable. He threw the model and ran to her. "Mommy, your face is so


    red. Are you ufortable? Do you need to see a doctor?"


    Everly realized what was going on and said, "I''m fine. I just feel a little hot."


    "Really? I feel a little cold."


    "Yes, I always feel hot." Fortunately, Edmond was innocent. Everly quickly calmed down and thought


    that she could not work at the Lamont Group. She had many hickeys on her body, so she decided not


    to go out. However, she had contacted the studio to learn how to draw online. If it was essible to


    her, she would go to ss next week.


    Everly rarely got times like today, so after thinking about it, she asked, "Edmond, how about going out


    today?"


    When he heard this, he was in high spirits, "Really?"


    "Yes."


    "That''s great!" Edmond immediately raised his small hands and began to list. "Mommy, let''s watch a


    movie first. Then eat delicious food. After that, let''s go to the amusement park, okay?"


    "Silly boy, we can go to the amusement park first, and go home after watching the movie tonight."


    "Okay."


    "Then change your clothes, and so will I. We will go out in half an hour."


    She had not gone to work during this period, so her driver''s license was ready, and she could drive out


    today.


    Watching Everly leave, Edmond rolled his eyes and quickly closed the door. Then, he took out his


    phone and dialed Maverick''s number.


    Thirty minutester, Everly put on a set of sportswear because it was convenient for her to go out.


    She prepared everything and carried a backpack. When she was about to go to the garage, she saw a


    car she was very familiar with at the door.


    And the license te...


    Everly got a headache and thought it couldn''t be so coincidental.


    In the past two days ... Maverick contacted her, but she ignored it.


    That day when he was in the office ... although she was not very reluctant, he was the first to do that ...


    and she even passed out.


    She couldn''t calm down when thinking about it.


    Even though two days had passed, she was unable to face it.


    But why did Mavericke here?


    Everly was just about to go back when the back door of the car was pushed open. Then, a girl jumped


    out in a pink dress, and she said in a crisp and tender voice, "Everly! Long time no see!"


    Words failed Everly.


    She didn''t expect Maverick to bring his daughter here.


    But she had no choice but to stop.


    Candy was not shy at all and directly flew towards Everly''s arms. Everly had to reach out to catch her


    in case she fell. "Hello, Candy, why are you ... here?"


    Candy''s big eyes looked brilliant from such a close distance.


    Everly didn''t feel they were very beautiful, but they looked very amazing, which had nothing to do with


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    the so-called beauty.


    Somehow, she had a strange feeling that she felt close to Candy, even if they had only seen each other


    a few times. Furthermore, Cindy was Maverick''s daughter.


    Girls were always against everything about their boyfriends'' exe, let alone their daughter.


    However, Everly realized that she seemed to like Candy very much.


    Candy smiled and said, "Everly, Edmond called us. We will go out and y with you today."


    Hearing this, Everly calmed down and was not particrly surprised.


    Edmond liked Maverick, so it was no wonder he betrayed her.


    Everly didn''t know what to say. Not far away, Maverick bent over and got out of the car.


    When her eyes met him, her heart beat faster.

 Chapter 115 You Should Know What I Will Do if I Indulge Myself

    Chapter 115 You Should Know What I Will Do if I Indulge Myself


    Everly was very clear that she couldn''t always escape.


    Moreover, she also loved Maverick. Otherwise, she would not have made love to him in the office that


    day.


    However, she was unable to face him and felt a little awkward.


    Now that Maverick came with his daughter, Everly couldn''t drive on her own anymore, so she got into


    his car with Edmond.


    When Maverick came, he had a driver.


    But now, he asked the driver to go back, and instead, he drove the car himself. Everly sat in the back


    seat with the children.


    Candy sat on the left while Edmond sat on the right.


    When Everly stopped worrying about anything else, she found it like a family outing.


    Candy was especially happy. Along the way, she kept talking to Everly and Edmond. Her every word


    was a cuddle. With a wide smile on her face, she looked very beautiful. To be honest, nobody would


    hate such a cute girl.


    Everly was the one who raised a child out of wedlock.


    If she didn''t like children, she wouldn''t have bravely given birth to Edmond abroad when she was 20


    years old.


    When she was pregnant, she imagined what would happen if the baby was a girl.


    Everly thought she could braid her daughter''s hair, put a dress on her, and prepare all kinds of cute


    little leather shoes. Everly would love her daughter as a princess, just like when Everly was a child.


    Nevertheless, when she gave birth to Edmond, she was not disappointed.


    But when she was in her twenties, she thought it would be nice to have a daughter.


    Thus, as Candy held Everly''s hand and talked to her, Everly was surprised and happy.


    Thanks to this, she even felt less embarrassed before Maverick.


    Edmond also liked Candy very much, and they enjoyedmunicating with each other in the car.


    When Edmond was in the United States with Everly, he did not have any good friends. Therefore,


    Everly suddenly realized that he was more mature than other children of the same age because he


    could not find a ymate.


    For example, right now, when Candy talked to him in admiration, he was quite proud.


    Candy said, "Do you know? A kid is really annoying. He always pesters me. I''ve told him that I''ve had a


    brother, but he insisted he should be my brother!"


    "Which one?" Edmond raised his eyebrows.


    "The fattest one in my ss. He likes to eat hamburgers. My dad has told me we can''t eat too many


    hamburgers. They''re not healthy."


    Edmond agreed and nodded. "Yes, that''s what my mommy told me."


    "Brilliant! Edmond, my dad is perfect for your mommy."


    Words failed Everly.


    Hearing this, Maverick, who was driving the car, slowly took a nce at those in the back seat.


    His gaze fell on the woman in the middle. The conversation between the children seemed to have


    embarrassed her, so her face flushed. In the past two days, she had been avoiding him. It was the first


    time he had sex in five years, so he had had a hard time before.


    Perhaps in this world, there were many women better than her.


    They were more beautiful and more attractive than her.


    But he wanted nobody but her.


    He couldn''t help missing her these days, but she kept hiding from him.


    Maverick thought that maybe he was too rude that day, so he gave her some time. Anyhow, now that


    she already epted him, he was willing to wait.


    When receiving the call from Edmond, Maverick was ecstatic.


    Everly took her son out today, so Maverick was happy that he could see her.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    But more happily, he felt Edmond was fond of him.


    Maverick wasn''t a junior anymore, so he would consider these problems.


    ''Will Candy like Everly?''


    ''Will Edmond like me?''


    They would be a family in the future, so Maverick must take all these factors into consideration.


    Now ... it seemed that there was no need to think about it anymore because the children got along well


    with each other.


    Everly could feel someone was staring at her. She knew it was Maverick, but she didn''t raise her head.


    Instead, she looked down at her hand on her knees. And from time to time, she rubbed her fingers.


    Seeing this, Maverick smiled without saying anything.


    Soon, they arrived at their destination. He had nned to ask Jayden to empty the amusement park,


    but on second thoughts, he realized it was different now.


    To protect Candy, he had never exposed her to the outside in the past.


    Besides, she did not have a mother by her side.


    But now, he thought she could start to face the outside world head-on.


    Moreover, if it was cleared out, it would not be interesting to y here.


    When they arrived, the children got out of the car first. Edmond was carrying a ck backpack. He was


    small but looked very proud. He took out his ck baseball cap and put it on his head. Surprisingly, he


    even took out a pink one and put it on Candy''s head.


    They stood together like a brother with his younger sister.


    When Everly saw this, she was indescribably excited, even though she did not know where this kind of


    excitement came from.


    Maybe it looked too sweet.


    For a long time, she had not brought her son to y outside.


    Seeing that the children both put on their caps, Maverick took out the sunsses and a cap, gave them


    to Everly, took off the bag from her shoulders, and carried it on his own.


    The children were still talking near the car, so Maverick seized the opportunity. As the sun was shining,


    he stood close to Everly. He slightly narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were not as sharp as they used to


    be in business. Maybe they were warmed by sunshine.


    As a result, his eyes looked extremely tender.


    "Are you not going to talk to me anymore?"


    Hearing this, Everly was stunned.


    It took her a long time to calm down and face him, but what he said embarrassed her again. She


    subconsciously put on the cap and stroked the hair beside her ear with a nk look. "No..."


    Maverick''s masculine smell instantly surrounded her as he moved closer to her. He asked, "What did


    you say?"


    Everly was shy about his smell, so she wanted to retreat.


    Maverick reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her in his arms. He looked


    deeply at her and said, "Why are you running from me? We''ve slept with each other. I have given you


    enough time to calm down, but why do you always flush?"


    Hearing this, Everly got a bit shyer. Moreover, she felt she was being teased, so she straightened her


    neck and retorted, "Of course not! It''s very hot today. I''m sunburned rather than flush! Let go of me.


    You should behave yourself in public."


    Maverick wore a half smile, but he leaned close to her and whispered in her ear, "You should know


    what I will do if I indulge myself."

 Chapter 116 To Play in the Amusement Park

    Chapter 116 To y in the Amusement Park


    Maverick put an alternate meaning behind his words.


    "Don''t talk nonsense!" Everly said shyly.


    "I mean it."


    "Maverick!"


    ...


    Maverick narrowed his eyes. Although they were close to each other, he was staring down at her.


    Then, she looked up at him angrily. Her red lips looked very tender and tempting. Seeing this, he


    swallowed hard, which looked very sexy. Everly''s eyes paused and she subconsciously wanted to


    break away from his arms. But when she did it, she found she was held tightly.


    Her blush deepened and she said, "Maverick, you ... there are so many people here. Let go of me.


    What''s your problem? You shouldn''t be overwhelmed by the lust."


    Maverick thought he was wronged.


    He didn''t think about that, but wanted to kiss her.


    "Dad, Everly, hurry up! We are going to buy tickets!"


    Candy interrupted them.


    However, from where Everly stood, Candy saved her from Maverick.


    Everly could tell what Maverick was thinking from his eyes.


    However, with the children here, he had to control himself.


    Everly had never gone out with a man and two children. She held Edmond''s hand and thought that


    Candy would like to hold Maverick''s hand. But to Everly''s surprise, Candy nced at them and then


    waved to Maverick. Maverick bent down, and Candy raised up on her toes, whispering in his ear. After


    that, she ran to Everly''s left hand.


    "Everly, can you hold my hand?"


    Everly got a warm feeling in her heart and held Candy''s little hand. Then, Maverick went to line up to


    buy tickets.


    He also wore sportswear today. His cap and sunsses covered most of his face, so he was not so


    eye-catching in the crowd. However, many people''s eyes would fall on him for a few seconds.


    Everly did not know if he had ever done this with his daughter in the past.


    She held Candy and Edmond, waiting for the tickets at the gate.


    At times, she looked towards Maverick and found that many young girls were standing around him.


    A few of them even took out their phones to secretly take photos.


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    It was crazy.


    She muttered something, but there was no denying that she was upset about this.


    Somehow, she thought he should belong only to her. If other women stared at him, she would feel


    ufortable.


    Everly was startled by this thought.


    She remembered she wasn''t so possessive when she was in love with Lucas.


    Was she too young at that time?


    Maybe she didn''t love Lucas when she was dating him.


    "Everly, do you think my dad is particrly handsome?" Candy suddenly hovered over and asked with


    a smile.


    Everly was interrupted. She paused for a moment and then nodded with a red face.


    "Do you love my dad?" Candy was as frank as Edmond.


    However, she was only 5 years old. Did she know what love was?


    Everly got a headache. "Candy, you are so young. You don''t know what love is. You shouldn''t mention


    this anymore."


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    "I know," Candy said proudly. "Everly, I like you while you love my father. I understand the difference,


    and so does Edmond."


    She turned to Edmond and said, "Edmond, is that right?"


    "Yes, you are right." Edmond agreed.


    Words failed Everly.


    She realized she couldn''t win them, so she remained silent.


    However, Candy continued, "Everly, my dad has never brought me to a ce like this, and you are the


    firstdy he likes so much."


    Everly''s heart beat faster.


    Candy continued, "Miley tried hard to please my dad, but he didn''t talk to her. I know he doesn''t like


    her. But you are different. He is super nice to you."


    Edmond immediately added, "My mommy is the same. Many men were going after her. But she likes


    nobody but Maverick."


    Once again, Everly didn''t know what to say.


    "Really?" Maverick interrupted them in a low voice. He heard what Edmond said.


    He was holding a few tickets to the amusement park. He stood in front of Everly, blocking the zing


    sun.


    "Then I''m honored," he said.


    Everly looked up at him. He was standing against the sunshine, but his eyes looked clear. He was


    staring at her with affection in his eyes.


    How attractive!


    Everly trembled with excitement. She stood up, took the tickets from Maverick''s hand, and said with a


    frown, "They are spouting nonsense. Let''s go in first, or we will bete."


    Maverick smiled and looked at her. He didn''t look aggressive anymore.


    He carried Candy, held Edmond''s hand, and then entered the amusement park with Everly.


    Not far away, someone was taking photos of them.


    ...


    It was quite tiring to y in the amusement park with kids.


    It was too exhausting.


    In less than two hours, Everly was almost exhausted. The weather was not particrly hot, but her


    forehead got sweaty after she kept running around.


    Seeing that she was very tired, Maverick bought a bottle of water for her. "Go over there and rest. I will


    take them to y. It is almost time to eat something."


    Everly was thirsty and was nearly worn out, so she agreed.


    After resting for more than ten minutes, Everly felt a little better. Now that she had nothing to do, she


    took out her phone.


    After browsing through her WeChat Moments for a while, she suddenly thought of something. When


    she looked up, she saw that Maverick was holding the children and lining up for an attraction.


    It was super enjoyable to see this.


    It was ipatible with Maverick''s identity, but...


    This strange feeling moved her.


    She slowly raised her phone and took a photo of Maverick and the children.


    Hardly had Everly finish it when her phone rang. She saw that it was Beth.


    She hurriedly picked it up.

 Chapter 117 My Daughter is Very Happy, and I Also Want to Make You Happy

    Chapter 117 My Daughter is Very Happy, and I Also Want to Make You Happy


    After that day, Everly didn''t contact Beth anymore. And she didn''t go to thepany these days, so


    she doesn''t know what''s going on now.


    Beth called and told Everly where she went. Everly felt very guilty after hearing it.


    "So, the two women called the police that day? And then... Lawrence brought you out of the police


    station?"


    Maverick had never told her about this, and when she thought of what happened to her and Maverick in


    the office that day, Everly was even more upset, "Beth, I''m sorry. All these things were because of me.


    I''m sorry I forgot you."


    Beth sighed, "You don''t understand what I mean. It was Lawrence that bastard. He did it on purpose."


    "What?"


    "That two female employees did call the police, but it was Lawrence''s idea. He received the news at


    first and knew that I was in Lamont Group. After that, he was afraid that I would run away, so he


    immediately called the police and said that there was a fight. Lawrence had a certain power in City C. I


    think Mr. Maverick doesn''t know about this. After I was brought to the police station, the first person I


    met was Lawrence."


    When Everly heard this, she felt even guiltier, "If it wasn''t for me, you wouldn''t have been exposed so


    easily."


    "I don''t want to hide anymore." Beth said, "This guy knows that I''m in City C. I''ve been hiding for so


    many years and I''m very tired. Forget it, just like you said, things should be solved head-on."


    "Are you with Lawrence now?"


    "I guess so," Beth said.


    "What does it mean?"


    "He did not lock me up either. I also know his problem. This man... Since he is unwilling to give up for


    so many years, I also want to give it a try for him."


    After Everly heard this, she was slightly moved, "Beth, what do you think love is?"


    After she asked this question, her eyes were subconsciously looked for that figure.


    She thought that she might not understand love all this time, but she felt that she seems to realize the


    taste of love at this time.


    She''s just not sure.


    There was still some distance between Beth and Lawrence. Money and power were often a hindrance


    to their rtionship. However, in Everly''s opinion, she was not the one whocked money. She had no


    power. No matter how powerful the Farleys was, they could not be equal to the Lamont family.


    However, this did not seem to be within the scope of her consideration.


    It was probably because there was still an inexplicable barrier between them.


    Maybe it''s just her own psychological problem.


    She wanted to find the man from five years ago, but Maverick suddenly appeared in her life.


    "Love?" Beth seemed to ponder for a moment, then said, "Do you remember when we were students,


    whose songs we liked to listen to the most?"


    "Mayday?"


    "Random Gate."


    Everly pursed her lips and smiled, "You asked me where the most beautiful ce in the world is. The


    answer is by your side."


    This was the lyrics that both of them liked the most in that song.


    They used to go to the Mayday concert together. At that time, these two lyrics had shed across the


    big screen, making them feel sexy.


    Beth said, "I think that''s how it feels. Actually, it differs from person to person. If you ask your heart, you


    will find the answer. If you really like him, you will definitely want to be with him."


    ...


    Everly put away the phone and looked up. Maverick and two children had just finished the project and


    walked towards her.


    She felt that she was not tired anymore.


    She looked at him, then stood up and took Candy''s hand, "Let''s y a little longer. There''s a Ferris


    wheel over there."


    Edmond and Candy pped their hands happily. Edmond probably saw Everly holding Candy''s hand,


    his eyes rolled around before he ran over and held Candy''s hand, "Let''s go over first. Let''s sit together.


    Uncle Maverick, you and my mommy will sit together."


    Everly, "..."


    She wanted to take the Ferris wheel, but that was not what she meant, okay?


    Moreover, she just felt that this was the only project that she had not yed, so she could y with her


    children, not y alone with Maverick.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    At this age, who would still think of the "love story" of the Ferris wheel?


    However, Edmond had already run over with Candy. Everly and Maverick could only follow. Everly


    looked at the two children and still felt a little awkward. She said to Maverick, "Well, I didn''t mean it."


    "What?"


    "Water," a low male voice suddenly said.


    Everly turned her head to look at him. He seemed to be sweating a little. His ck hair was usually


    meticulously taken care of, but today it hung in front of his forehead and looked very casual. Because


    he was wearing a hat, those strands of hair were even closer to his forehead.


    Everly handed over a bottle of unopened water.


    Maverick directly reached out and took the other bottle.


    Everly was just about to say that she had drunk it, but Maverick had already drunk it.


    She thought, didn''t she check his information earlier?


    It said that this man was a little obsessed with cleanliness.


    "I drank it before." She still emphasized.


    "So what?" Maverick screwed the cap, "This can only be considered an indirect infection of saliva.


    Everly, you and I should be more intimate than this."


    Everly, "..."


    She stopped talking and walked forward.


    Maverick smiled. He shook the water and followed her.


    In fact, he was very averse to this kind of environment. He had mysophobia. He could not stand this


    kind of public equipment, let alone sit down.


    But today, he seemed to have forgotten about it.


    In the end, Edmond and Candy sat together. Everly and Maverick sat together.


    In fact, the Ferris wheel can hold four people, but Edmond said that he wants to personally take Candy


    to experience the Ferris wheel and let the two adults not get in the way.


    He secretly winked at Everly as if he was saying, "Mommy, I created an opportunity for you. You have


    to cherish it."


    Everly thought to herself, "I really don''t want this opportunity."


    Closing the door, the Ferris wheel began to activate slowly.


    Everly felt that at their age, and Maverick''s identity... was really not suitable for such a childish and


    boring thing like the Ferris wheel, so she took the lead to break the silence, "Well, it''s been hard for you


    today."


    Maverick was tall. He sat next to her with his long legs. He reached out and took off his hat. He


    casually stroked his short hair and looked at her sideways, "It''s fine. I have to thank you. I rarely y


    with my daughter like this."


    Everly looked at him.


    He always makes a showy disy of his ability at work, but today Everly feels he is very warm, "Then


    you must be too busy. In fact, I am the same. I rarely apany Edmond, so I feel a little guilty."


    "We will make up for it in the future." Maverick said, "Candy likes you very much. She is very happy


    today. I also want to make you happy."

 Chapter 118 The Kiss of the Ferris Wheel

    Chapter 118 The Kiss of the Ferris Wheel


    As he spoke, his voice was faint.


    However, it was already afternoon, and the sunlight was not as intense as noon. That bit of softness fell


    between his eyebrows, making one''s mind shake.


    The Ferris wheel slowly rose up, and he was sitting next to Everly.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Before Everly reacted to the sentence "I also want you to be happy", the man sitting at the side had


    already lowered his head and kissed her lips.


    She was stunned for a moment, but the man threw away the hat and water in his hand and held her


    face directly.


    In fact, she did not struggle anymore. Whether it was in vain or not, at this moment, such an


    environment and such a kiss were all things she wanted.


    Of course, what she couldn''t deny was that she still had some expectations and excitement in her


    heart.


    Women would like this romantic thing. In the Ferris wheel, she was hugged by the man she liked. He


    looked at her affectionately, then kissed her.


    Everly''s bodypletely rxed, so that she didn''t know when she was held by Maverick and sat on


    his leg.


    The entire world was also shrinking.


    What she could feel was the strong male hormones in this man. There was also the smell of sea salt


    that made her inexplicably familiar and at ease. Everly subconsciously opened her mouth to facilitate


    the man''s demands.


    Maverick could feel her initiative and was very satisfied. His slender fingers slowly touched the back of


    her neck.


    As the Ferris wheel continued to rise, the air seemed to be somewhat thin in this narrow case.


    Everly was unable to breathe, and Maverick finally let go of her lips.


    Only then did she realize that she was sitting on his thigh. Her hands were wrapped around his neck.


    Their foreheads were pressed against each other, looking extremely intimate. Just a simple kiss, but it


    seemed to ignite a fire in each other''s bodies.


    Everly was a little embarrassed. She cleared her throat and turned to look outside. She was actually a


    little afraid of heights. Now that she was in Maverick''s arms, it was rare for her to feel at ease.


    "Have you ever yed this before?" She spoke first and asked him.


    "No," Maverick said in a hoarse voice after kissing.


    "Do you feel bored?"


    Maverick''s thumb gently pressed down on her red and swollen lips that were kissed by him. He smiled,


    "That depends on who I''m with."


    Of course, Everly could tell what he meant. She felt sweet and stopped talking.


    Maverick looked at her blushing side profile and his mind was stirred. His eyes were strong. When the


    Ferris wheel reached the highest point, it began to slowly descend.


    He held her butt and bit her ear, "Come to my sideter, okay?"


    Of course, Everly knew what this meant. For a moment, she felt like she was riding a tiger and could


    not get off. She did not know how to answer.


    "Can you restrain yourself a little..."


    "Am I not restrained enough?"


    "Don''t always think about that."


    "I am a normal man. A normal man would think about what he should think in front of his woman unless


    he is impotent."


    He said confidently.


    Everlyughed in anger, "You''re twisting the truth."


    "Is that so? Then can you bear to see me suffer like this?"


    "Don''t always be like this."


    "What?"


    "I will be shy." When she said this, she really wanted to bite off her tongue.


    Maverick hugged her and kissed her face. He smiled so much that his chest kept shaking, "Well, okay, I


    won''t say it. Let''s just do it. I like you being shy."


    ...


    Everly felt that her teeth were aching.


    No, it seemed that she had eaten too much sugar and felt a little sour.


    But what should she do? She felt like she was willing to endure it.


    ...


    When they left the amusement park, it was already dusk.


    Maverick had already arranged the driver. After ying with the two children all afternoon, he asked the


    driver to pick them up.


    They were tired and hot in the amusement park. So he asked the driver to drove the two children back


    home and let the servants bathed the two children before taking them to dinner.


    Everly sighed at the fact that Maverick was quite attentive in certain aspects.


    But the clothes that Edmond had changed into were all at home. She suggested that she take Edmond


    home first.


    Maverick said directly, "I''ve got his clothes ready. Don''t worry, I will arrange everything. You cane


    with me first."


    The two children were very "considerate". They took the initiative to make space for each other''s


    parents and obediently followed the driver home first.


    Everly agreed.


    When they arrived at the restaurant, Everly went to the bathroom.


    She was actually a little tired, but when she thought of what Maverick had said, "He wanted her to go to


    his ce tonight..."


    She didn''t know whether she should agree or not, but she didn''t reject it clearly just now.


    Right now, they seemed to have confirmed their rtionship, but... Although they were both adults and


    it was normal for adults to kiss and have sex, she still felt that it would be a little too fast.


    After all, they had only known each other for more than a month.


    She thought, ''Maybe she should ask Beth?''


    It seemed that the only person who canmunicate was Beth.


    Just as she took out her phone, she heard someoneing out from another bathroom.


    It was not convenient for Everly to call now. Then she thought she could ask on WeChat. But when she


    was still hesitating on how to ask, her gaze just happened to nce at the mirror in front of her. After


    seeing the woman who came out of the bathroom cubicle, Everly''s blood all burned.


    When she came back, she thought that she would meet Lucas, so she also thought that she would


    meet her.


    When she met Lucas, Everly felt that it was too fast. But she might not have much hatred anymore, she


    could face it calmly.


    She didn''t understand until she met this woman.


    Back then, what truly broke her heart was not Lucas''s cheating, but this woman''s betrayal.


    She used to be better to her than to Beth.


    That was right, in a girl''s youth, there would definitely be such a good friend. When you have anything


    good, you would think of sharing it with her immediately.


    If she was happy, you smiled. If she was sad, you would cry with her.


    If there were three people in a friendship, there would definitely be a situation like who was better with


    whom.


    Sarah.


    Sarah was Everly''s best friend whom she believed wholeheartedly, but she cheated on her boyfriend.


    Compared to the past, Sarah was more like a prostitute.


    Everly remembered what Beth had told her. She was now a mistress. In fact, when she was a student,


    she was already a mistress. It was really hard to change her nature.


    Compared to before, Sarah could be said to be even more beautiful and charming. The corners of her


    eyes and eyebrows were full of desire.


    "Everly?"


    She also recognized Everly.

 Chapter 119 You Are the Disgusting and Hypocritical One

    Chapter 119 You Are the Disgusting and Hypocritical One


    Sometimes people are really strange.


    She had always been self-confident in the strength of her righteousness, but there were times when


    she was unconfident. Perhaps it couldn''t be described as unconfident. She was just unwilling to face


    those situations.


    However, people who had done something wrong could still be shameless after so many years, as if


    nothing had happened.


    Everly looked at Sarah in front of her. She seemed familiar but unacquainted. She suddenly felt that


    everything in the past was now at ease.


    She was neatly dressed with exquisite makeup. Those clothes were all high-ss. She was also


    wearing sparkling leather shoes, holding a limited-edition bag.


    Just these would add up to around 100, 000 or so.


    However, her face was not with happiness or satisfaction, only lust.


    "I heard that you came back before. I didn''t expect it to be true."


    Sarah came over to wash her hands, looking very reserved.


    She gently ced her bag on the side of Everly. It could be seen that she was deliberately to do so.


    Everly felt that it was funny.


    She felt emotional when she saw this woman, but now she only felt pity.


    It was easy to guess how she was doing.


    "How is everything going now?" Sarah spoke first, looking at Everly in the mirror.


    "Not bad," Everly replied to show politeness.


    What she meant was obvious, ''You can act as if nothing has happened. In fact, I will not waste time


    and energy to hate anything. It is even more impossible to chat with you like old friends.''


    After Everly replied, she prepared to walk directly into the bathroom. However, Sarah was obviously not


    willing to "meet with a nce" like this. Seeing that Everly was about to leave, she stepped forward and


    stopped her. "We haven''t seen each other for many years. Don''t you want to chat? Actually, I''ve always


    missed you."


    "Missed me? I''ve been single for the past few years. What do you miss about me?" Everly asked,


    amused.


    Sarah seemed as if she couldn''t hear the hidden meaning behind it. She remained that expression,


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Everly, what happened in the past is not all my fault. Actually, you would ask your heart when there


    was a problem in your rtionship, right? You should know very well whether that man loves you or


    not."


    "Yes, I had a problem. I was blind. It was indeed my problem." Everly said, "But I''m really sorry. I may


    have to disappoint you. I don''t want to chat with you at all. Please step aside."


    "Did you hate me?"


    "Why should I hate you?"


    "You don''t hate me, and we are acquaintances. What''s wrong with chatting? I really want to know how


    you are doing now. I heard that you were in Lamont Group." No one knew where the news Sarah got.


    "You had some tricks up your sleeves. Did you know? Lucas is a rtive of the Lamont family. Even


    after five years, aren''t you still involved with him?"


    Everly finally understood.


    Sarah probably heard the news from someone. It said that she had entered Lamont Group, and she


    must have something to do with Lucas. When she met Everly today, her sense of superiority naturally


    came out.


    The man who she had been snatched away from her, now she had got a job by the rtionship with


    him.


    In fact, Everly could not understand how she had offended her.


    She seemed to have deep resentment towards her close friend.


    "Ms. Sarah, the most important thing in life is to have self-awareness. In fact, I don''t want to talk about


    what happened in the past at all. As for me, I don''t care where you heard the news from. Entering


    Lamont Group, I can tell you openly that I am different from you. I don''t poach or betray my body.


    Everything I have today is all because of my own ability."


    Sarah''s expression did not change. Everly was naturally confident. "However, I don''t hate you. I just


    feel that you are quite bored. And if I were to be blind once, how could I possibly be blind for a second


    time? Even good dogs don''t block the path. Get out of the way!"


    After she finished speaking, she ignored Sarah and reached out to give her a push.


    Sarah seemed to be prepared. Her body rxed at once. The moment Everly pushed, she fell down.


    She was wearing high heels. With a crack, she fell to the ground.


    Everly was dumbfounded.


    What was she trying to do?


    Sarah nced at her and took out her phone to dial. Then, she ttered, "Brother Johnny,e over


    here. I was beaten up ... Who was it? She was a former ssmate who scolded me for betraying my


    body and even hit me. I sprained my ankle."


    Everly didn''t know what to say.


    She didn''t know what Everly had experienced all these years. Why did she be like this?


    Everly was not anxious either.


    When it came to the person to back up, she believed that Maverick by her side would be better than


    Johnny, John, or Johnson.


    She was just toozy to do such childish and boring things.


    But Sarah liked to y like this, didn''t she?


    Then she would apany her to the end!


    "You have a good face and such good acting skills. It''s a pity not to be a star." Everly wasn''t panic. She


    crossed her arms around her chest and looked down at Sarah. "There were some things I did not want


    to say. But now that you do not want me to leave, I will make it clear. I really do not understand what I


    did back then to make you have such a twisted mind. It has been five years, and I thought that you


    should at least feel a little guilty, right? I didn''t expect you to get worse. Sarah, if you stand up now, I


    can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I''m afraid you will regret itter."


    How could Sarah stand up so easily?


    Her eyes clearly flickered with resentment as she sat on the ground, disregarding her image and the


    expensive clothes she wore.


    "Everly, do you know? Your face is carved with the word ''hypocritical''. Do you think you are fair and


    square? You have always been the most disgusted person. Are you trying to scare me now? Just


    pretend that nothing happened? Five years ago, I only slept with your boyfriend. But today, I will let you


    return everything that you owed me back then. Regret? I am afraid that you will regret it."


    "You bumped into me today because you were unlucky."


    Everly looked at her quietly. "What did I do? Didn''t I know it?"


    Sarah did not say anything, but Everly understood her. There was a fierce emotion in her eyes that


    could not be concealed.


    She thought, ''What did I do back then?''


    Sarah really hated her.


    Although she did not have to dig it, this matter was rted to her. She couldn''t pretend to care about it.


    "Sarah, what did I do? What did I do to let you down? If you have something to say, just say it


    clearly."

 Chapter 120 Maverick Backing Her Up

    Chapter 120 Maverick Backing Her Up


    Sarah did not speak and stared at Everly.


    Everly pondered. Perhaps this woman did it on purpose. She felt that she had done nothing that could


    make her treat her like that.


    Within five minutes, someone hade to the bathroom.


    There was amotion at the door. Maybe the manager of the restaurant manager came along. Everly


    had heard from Beth that Sarah was a mistress. As a mistress, she would naturally find a man with


    dignity.


    The man in the lead, as his clothes show, should be the "Brother Johnny" Sarah mentioned.


    He didn''t seem easy to deal with. He was already middle-aged, but his suit was straight. He looked


    mature.


    However, his eyes were too naked. A scar on his forehead made him look a bit ferocious.


    Everly only nced at him once before withdrawing her gaze.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    The man walked towards Sarah, who was sitting on the ground, frowned and asked, "What''s going


    on?"


    Sarah stood up with difficulty. Tears had already appeared on her face. She looked very pitiful. She


    stood next to the man and pointed at Everly, said, "She was my former ssmate. She scolded me and


    beat me. She said that I followed you and sold my body. And you ... Johnny, I''m sorry. I know I was


    wrong. I just don''t want others to scold you. I know I''m not a good woman. I..."


    "Enough." The man''s face darkened and he interrupted Sarah. After all, she was his woman. At this


    moment, he would definitely protect her, "Who the hell dares to bully my woman?"


    He helped Sarah up and turned to Everly, "Is it you?"


    Everly felt that this person was a bit fierce. She was really fearless at this moment, because Maverick


    was there.


    People often describe these men as "arrogant because of his favor" and "bullying others with his


    power".


    At this point, she actually felt that these derogatory terms seemed cute.


    "I didn''t scold or hit anyone, but I don''t think I need to exin this to you. I don''t know you. As for Ms.


    Sarah, we used to be ssmates. But we are not very familiar with each other even now. If you want to


    act, I won''t apany."


    Everly said and turned to leave.


    The man felt that Everly didn''t respect him, and his face immediately darkened. He asked someone to


    stop the door of the bathroom.


    "You mean that my woman deliberately ndered you?" Johnny stepped forward and reached out to


    pinch Everly''s chin.


    Everly''s movements were quite fast. She raised her hand and pped the man''s hand away.


    Her eyes were sharp, causing Jonny to be stunned for a moment before he suddenlyughed, "You''re


    really hot temper. No wonder you can bully my Sarah. Fine. The stronger the horse, the more I like


    driving."


    "Watch your words!" Everly was not in a good mood. Her gaze fell on Sarah who was smug behind him


    well-satisfied. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"


    Sarah did not look at her but looked at him, "Brother, she used to bully me. This woman is very


    coquettish, especially in bed."


    These words were too suggestive.


    Johnny smiled obscenely, "Is that so? Sarah understands me. There will be rewards tonight."


    After he finished speaking, he raised his hand. Two bodyguard-look men came in from the door.


    Johnny said, "Take this woman to the car."


    Everly''s mind sank. Just as she took out her phone, it was snatched away.


    Everly thought, ''I can''t be silent at this time. She raised her foot and kicked the man who was about to


    attack her.'' She shouted, "Maverick!"


    Maverick''s name had some intimidation.


    She called out once, and the surrounding people all paused.


    Sarah''s expression changed. It seemed that she knew that Maverick was not to be trifled with.


    Seeing that no one was moving, Everly turned around and ran towards the bathroom door. She


    shouted, "Maverick, Maverick, save me!"


    Johnny was probably the first to react, "Go and catch that woman. Damn, how dare she scares me? I''ll


    kill her!"


    Sarah''s mood was a littleplicated.


    Maverick?


    Did Everly really know Maverick?


    No, it was not strange to say that they knew each other. But from the content she had shouted, it


    seemed that she had a good rtionship with Maverick.


    She had heard that after Everly entered Lamont Group, and her rtionship with Lucas was


    unfathomable. But no one had told her that Everly had already reached Maverick.


    Did she get the wrong information?


    But when she thought of what happened five years ago ... Sarah felt that she could never


    underestimate this woman.


    Because of themotion in the bathroom, many staff of the restaurant came over.


    Everly still shouted Maverick''s name.


    This time, the owner of the restaurant was rmed. This was a rtively high-end ce. The owner of


    the restaurant naturally knew people like Maverick.


    Therefore, just as Everly reached the corner, her body crashed into a man.


    Before she could stand firmly, powerful hands held her waist.


    Maverick''s familiar male scent hit her nose. He hugged her and let her stand. "What''s wrong?"


    Hearing Maverick''s voice, Everly''s courage instantly turned into a grievance.


    Her nose turned sour and she stomped her feet, "Someone bullied me."


    These three simple words caused surrounding people to be stunned.


    In fact, Everly was a little embarrassed.


    She didn''t want to use a coquettish tone to say such words. But when this man hugged her, she felt


    that she was firmly protected in the arms of a king. She felt that she was the little princess being


    pampered. She couldn''t help but want to show the special love that this man gave her.


    But thinking about it, Everly pursed her lips and adjusted her tone, "it''s just that ... I met a ssmate.


    There was a bit of conflict between us. She deliberately ndered me. They chased me and wanted to


    catch me."


    Maverick looked behind Everly. Those people were all in his field of vision.


    There was a middle-aged man in the lead. When he saw Maverick, his eyes brightened.


    "Mr. Maverick! You are Mr. Maverick. I''ve heard a lot about you. Hello, Mr. Maverick. I am Johnny


    Grant."


    "Mr. Maverick, my secretary has been contacting you all this time. I want to make an appointment with


    you to talk about a big project of mine. I didn''t expect to meet you here today. What a coincidence!"


    He saw Maverick holding Everly in a posture of absolute possession and protection.


    He thought, ''Shit, this would be bad.''

 Chapter 121 The Last One I Sent You Was the Least Impressive

    Chapter 121 The Last One I Sent You Was the Least Impressive


    When the woman called that man "Maverick," Jonny thought she was bluffing. But now, it appeared


    that she really was Maverick Lamont''s woman.


    He sighed, ''How ill-informed I am! It is said that Maverick is abstinent.''


    ''But look at him! How can he be not interested in women?''


    ''The way he looks at that woman is different.''


    ''But this woman was gorgeous. Otherwise, I couldn''t be aroused just because of Sarah''s several


    words.''


    However,pared with Johnny''s mood at the moment, Sarah was even more shocked.


    Maverick Lamont! It was Maverick Lamont!


    When Everly called his name, Sarah thought that she was ying tricks.


    Sarah had been asking what had happened back then. Now Everly had mentioned Maverick Lamont in


    front of her. Was she still unwilling to admit it?


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    ''She did everything. But now she pretends to be innocent in front of me.''


    ''This woman is pretty good at handling such a situation.''


    ''So, does she want to embarrass me this way?''


    Sarah clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she knew that she lost again, from the way Maverick


    protected Everly.


    Johnny stretched out his hand, prepared to shake with Maverick, but he awkwardly held it in the air. He


    broke off, not knowing what to do next.


    It was clear that Maverick didn''t want to shake hands with him.


    "Are these the guys who were bullying you?" Maverick looked down at the woman in his arms softly.


    Everly said, "Yeah."


    Johnny hastened to exin, "It was not bullying! She is your woman, Mr. Maverick. How dare we bully


    her? Mr. Maverick, this must be a misunderstanding. Why don''t we sit down and let me exin?"


    Everly didn''t say anything. Maverick held her waist with one hand and inserted the other into his


    trousers pocket.


    Today he took his child to the amusement park. Dressing in casual clothes, he looked less domineering


    "Do you think I''m stupid?" Maverick smiled and asked.


    Johnny was stunned, waved his hand hurriedly, and said. "Of course not, Mr. Maverick. No one is as


    brilliant as you in the business world."


    "Then I believe you must be blind."


    "Mr. Maverick, what do you mean by that?"


    "You know what I mean. Why do you think that I will believe you but not my woman?"


    "Mr. Maverick, it''s a misunderstanding."


    Maverick nced at the man standing opposite him. He had no impression of him, nor did he know


    whatpany he belonged to and what he did. But he knew the guy was not a good one.


    He raised his eyebrows. "Repeat your name." He did forget.


    "I''m Johnny, Mr. Maverick. My name is Johnny."


    "Full name."


    "Johnny Grant."


    "Where are you came from?"


    "The Grant Group." Once Johnny heard Maverick''s questions, he became excited and thought that the


    opportunity hade, "Mr. Maverick, we are a solid wood enterprise. We have been gained some


    reputation these years. I''d been looking forward to cooperating with you. I think I can supply the high-


    quality solid wood for the high-grademercial properties you developed."


    Maverick did not answer.


    He looked at Everly in his arms again and asked her, "Are you hurt?"


    "No."


    "Who was the one who made the trouble?" Maverick asked again.


    Everly nced at Sarah, who was standing behind Johnny. She looked like she was not afraid of


    anything. But Everly still thought she was bluffing. Because there was something hidden behind her


    resolution, and that was panic and nervousness.


    She suddenly felt that there was no meaning to make things difficult for her.


    She was not the Holy Mother, willing to forgive everything and everyone, nor did she want to be


    ruthless.


    If she said something now, Sarah and this man would be finished. But she did not want to.


    She didn''t say anything, not for them, but Maverick and herself. She thought they were not ones to be


    that aggressive.


    "Forget it." Everly gently tugged at Maverick''s sleeve and whispered, "Edmond and Candy areing.


    Let''s go to other restaurants."


    Maverick knew that Everly didn''t want to make a fuss about it.


    He nced at the men and women opposite to him.


    It was unlikely that he would remember their faces. But as long as he asked someone to look into them,


    he would get all the information about them. However, it was indeed not suitable to ruin the atmosphere


    today.


    "Alright, I''ll listen to you," he said as he reached out and gently pinched Everly''s hand.


    Then, he turned around, hugging Everly''s slender waist, and left.


    As soon as Johnny saw they were leaving, he tried to catch up. But he was stopped by his guys.


    Johnny still refused to give up and called out a few times. But there was no reply.


    He wasn''t stupid. He thought of something and turned to walk towards Sarah.


    Sarah sensed that something was wrong. But before she could react, Johnny raised his hand and


    pped her. Twice.


    "You bitch! Do you know how hard it''s for me to find Maverick Lamont? How dare you ask me to fuck


    his woman. Are you crazy?"


    Sarah''s mouth swelled. Only after a while did she regain her senses from the state of being stunned.


    She trembled and said, "Johnny, I''m sorry. I didn''t know she is Maverick''s woman. If I knew, I wouldn''t


    do that."


    "Shut up! Get out of my face, or I will kill you."


    Sarah reached out to cover her face. The crews of the restaurant cast unfriendly nces at them as if


    she was like a demon. Suddenly, she recalled the past.


    Five years ago.


    She had also been humiliated like this before.


    It was Everly Farley. It was all her fault!


    Sarah definitely wouldn''t just let it go like this.


    ...


    Everly was somewhat upset by this incident.


    However, the following dinner was rtively pleasant.


    With the two kids here, it was easy to enliven the atmosphere. And Candy was calling her aunt, over


    and over again. That made her feel sweet.


    She was in a good mood after that.


    When the Farleys called, Everly did not hide this. She just said that she took Edmond out to eat with


    her friend.


    Her mother did not question closely.


    After the dinner, Maverick asked Edmond, "Do you want to go to my house tonight?"


    Everly sat at the side. When she heard the man asking such a joke-like question, she immediately lifted


    her foot under the table and kicked the man.


    But it was obvious that this little bit of strength was not affected by Maverick at all.


    He was unchanged. He still looked at Edmond smilingly. "I remember that when I first met you, you said


    you like models very much. I have a lot of models. Thest one I gave you was the least


    impressive."

 Chapter 122 Stay!

    Chapter 122 Stay!


    Edmond had been very supportive of his mommy and Uncle Maverick being together.


    Spending just a night in Uncle Maverick''s house? He was all for it. And now, Uncle Maverick was even


    using models to "lure" him. Edmond felt that Uncle Maverick did not need to ask whether he wanted to


    stay a night at his house. His answer must be yes.


    Of course, it would be even better if Uncle Maverick asked.


    "That''s great! Mommy, let''s go to Uncle Maverick''s house."


    Maverick took a tissue at the side and handed it to Everly, who had been hinting at him. He said with a


    gentle and harmless, "Edmond wants to go. You wouldn''t say no to him, right?"


    Everly gritted her teeth and red at Maverick, who had seeded in his trick. But because there


    were two kids, she knew it was not good to throw a fit. She said to Edmond, "Sweetie, you forgot you


    could not sleep in a different bed."


    That was the truth, but Edmond ignored this point at this moment.


    "Mommy, I don''t. It''s a bed in Uncle Maverick''s house. I will treat it as mine."


    Everly was speechless. "Hey, kid, what you said is losing our face."


    "What is losing face? I think I''m not." Edmond blinked his eyes innocently. "Only monsters don''t have a


    face," Edmond said.


    Everly lost her words.


    Candy agitated and said, "Auntie Everly, you shoulde. So I can share my toys with Edmond


    tonight."


    Everly still wanted to decline, but Maverick didn''t give her any room to say no. He helped her decide


    directly. "The thing I bought from the auction has been prepared. I have asked someone to redesign it


    for you. Come to my ce, and I''ll give it to you." said Maverick.


    Everly knew it was the pink diamond.


    She never wanted to ept such an expensive gift.


    But Maverick''s attitude was apparent. He wanted to give it to her, and she must ept it.


    The words he said in the elevator that day still rang in her ears. Everly blushed, knowing that she had


    to go to his ce tonight.


    She no longer tried to resist and followed Maverick to his ce.


    On the way, Everly said this to her mother.


    But it was hard to say that she was taking her son to a man''s house for the night.


    After thinking about it, she still lied. She just told her mother that she wouldpany Beth. Because


    Beth had just relocated, and she would take Edmond with her.


    Gloria trusted her daughter very much and didn''t ask much.


    Everly put away her phone and found that the two kids were asleep on herp. Probably they were


    tired from ying during the day.


    Her eyes were soft and kind. She did not make too much of a move to wake them up.


    After arriving at Maverick''s vi, both of them got out of the car. Maverick knew that the kids were


    asleep, so he picked them up, holding one in each arm. It was pretty easy for him.


    The man looked thin, but Everly knew very well that his body was full of strength.


    She obediently followed behind the man and walked towards the gate of the vi.


    This was not the first time she had been here. She had driven Maverick once before home. But this


    was the first time she brought her son into his home.


    One step at a time, followed by this man, Everly had felt she entered his world.


    Everly had been a little nervous, but now she felt more natural.


    There were many things that she had to try before she knew whether it was suitable or not.


    After taking the first step, she no longer had any thoughts of retreating.


    But most of the time, things went against her wishes.


    In such a warm scene, Everly just had a feeling of being protected. Suddenly it was ruined by an


    uninvited guest.


    It was Carolina. This was the second time Everly met her.


    In Maverick''s vi.


    Everly thought, "God, can you love me for just one time? It was already an awful day; then you bring


    this woman here. What exactly do you want to do to me?"


    She had never been a generous person. It was unbearable to see such a woman, wearing pajamas,


    just taking a shower, in his vi when she found she fell in love with Maverick. What else was she


    supposed to think about the rtionship between Maverick and the woman?


    The woman just happened toe down from the stairs.


    Seeing others wereing back with Maverick, Carolina shed with a trace of surprise.


    She looked a little panicked.


    She said, subconsciously, "Maverick, I... I thought that Candy was alone at home today, so I came over.


    I identally dirtied my clothes and took a shower."


    She seemed to be very anxious to exin.


    But no matter what the truth was, whether Everly was willing to believe it, there was nothing wrong


    between Maverick and Carolina. A woman''s intuition was telling Everly that the woman in front of her,


    pretending to be delicate, just wanted to make her unhappy.


    But the truth was she did be unhappy.


    Maverick was gloomy. He did not expect Carolina was here. It seemed that all the servants in the family


    had to be reced.


    He didn''t say anything, but his thoughtful expression made everything clear.


    Carolina looked a little flustered. Her mind wentpletely nk.


    Particrly when she saw Maverick holding the boy.


    ''Maverick was the one who had released the rumors and who humiliated me in such an unbridled


    manner because he was angry that I had deliberately pretended not to have an affair with any man


    these years. But now, how could he exin that he brought another woman to his ce?''


    ''He was okay with a woman, having a man before and a five-year-old child. But why he didn''t ept


    me?''


    ''Everyone was the same. Men had yed us all.''


    ''I did dally with other men in the old days. But what this Everly did is much worse than me.''


    How could you fancy a woman like her?


    ''She even had a child with another man. But you, Maverick, chose her but not me.''


    Carolina held back her anger. She tightly gripped the handrail of the stairs, and even her fingernails


    were turning white.


    "I''ll go upstairs and get changed."


    She knew that she could not be impudent right now, so she turned around and walked towards the


    room upstairs.


    But she also knew that Everly would not be indifferent.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    It was true. But fortunately, the two kids were sleeping. If they saw this, it could be very awkward.


    Everly secretly sighed. She wanted to take her son from Maverick, but the man didn''t let her do it. He


    leaned slightly and avoided her movements.


    Everly looked up at him and said. "I''ll take Edmond home. At least you should handle these things


    carefully, right? Although your vi is big, my heart is not that big."


    "My heart is small."


    What did this mean?


    It meant that she was jealous.


    Maverick, who was gloomy, suddenly felt a little excited. He patiently exined, "I don''t know. In the


    past, she could indeede over casually. It was me who didn''t handle it well. But I won''t let you down


    again. Stay!"

 Chapter 123 Maverick, You Force Me to Do So!

    Chapter 123 Maverick, You Force Me to Do So!


    Everly felt jealousy when she heard Carolina used to have an open invitation.


    No matter what the reason was, she was very unhappy right now.


    So she insisted to leave, "Bring Edmond to me. You can have the driver send us away if you like."


    Maverick ignored Everly''s words and told the servants, "Take the child to the room that I had prepared


    this afternoon. He will rest there."


    Knowing he had arranged the room early, Everly was certain that this man already had a n.


    ''It wouldn''t have mattered so much. But now the situation is different.''


    "Maverick, I already said that I want to leave. What''s wrong with you?" she asked with a long face.


    Had no child in his hand, Maverick stepped forward and hugged Everly. She struggled in his arms for a


    while. Maverick gently pinched her nose and smiled, "Sweetie, I already said that there was nothing


    between Carolina and me. Do you want me to exin?"


    "I didn''t say there was something! Why are you in such a hurry to exin?"


    "You are still talking back to me. I know you''re upset. I apologize to you, is that okay?"


    "I don''t want you to apologize. Did you do anything wrong? Why do you need to apologize since there


    was nothing between you and her?"


    "You are finding faults with my words." Maverick reached over her waist and pinched her gently. He


    knew that Everly was sensitive to this position. Sure enough, the little cat in his arms immediately


    groaned softly and stiffened all over. He smiled, "Don''t be angry, okay? You can do whatever you want.


    Don''t go tonight. Go and take a shower. My bedroom is on the second floor."


    Everly was very annoyed. He knew which part of her body was the most sensitive. With only one move,


    he made her go weak at the knees.


    She felt herself shaking out of control.


    Now that he was blowing on her ear, she couldn''t take it anymore.


    Everly knew that after he said all these if she still insisted on leaving, he would probably use "special"


    means to keep her.


    ''Forget it, it''s not that I don''t trust him, I just feel upset.''


    Moreover, his behavior was enough to ease the difort.


    Atst, Everlypromised and went upstairs.


    Carolina could not be in Maverick''s bedroom.


    In other words, even if she could enter the vi freely, she could not have set foot in the master


    bedroom.


    Because she was not qualified.


    Carolina used to think that if she wasn''t qualified, then any woman out there was even more


    unqualified.


    She alwaysforted herself in this way.


    But now...


    She had just stood at the corner of the staircase and heard the conversation downstairs.


    The woman was haughty because of the man''s love and indulgence.


    She did not know how to describe her feelings. Jealousy? Unwillingness? Envy?


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    She had all of these feelings, and in the end, they all became resentment.


    He had never talked to her like this. She had done her best to take care of Candy for so many years


    but had not received much attention from him, let alone such a doting tone.


    Only then did Carolina realize how ridiculous she had been.


    At this moment, she realized that this man was cold by nature, but it was not that he has no human


    love.


    It was just that he gave all his gentleness and sweetness to another woman.


    She hated them so much.


    When Carolina went downstairs, Maverick was getting a drink in the kitchen room. He had already


    taken off his coat. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up, revealing his strong arms. Carolina knew exactly


    where he had been today.


    She had already got those pictures.


    The news that she had received earlier would be exposed tomorrow.


    She did not want to get things into an impasse as long as Maverick was not with Everly. But now ... she


    just wanted to use all means to kill Everly.


    "Sorry, I won''te again."


    Carolina stood at the door of the kitchen and said in a low voice.


    Perhaps at this moment, she still had a bit of hope. ''Please look at me.'' she pleaded in her heart.


    As long as he gave her one nce, she would not use all she had in the Kahl family to fight against


    him.


    Because she knew very well that if she did something and Everly had an ident, Maverick would


    suspect her.


    But if she still could not get a trace of Maverick''s favor by now, she was more willing to take Everly to


    hell together.


    That hope was devoured by the disappointment in the depths of her heart.


    The man had his back to her the whole time.


    He held the cup in one hand and ced the other on the marble countertop on the edge. He didn''t


    even look back as he replied with an "Okay."


    Like a ruthless and sharp knife, it instantly stabbed Carolina''s heart.


    Carolina''s eyes were filled with tears. "Maverick, I''ve been there for you all these years, doing


    everything I can to take care of your daughter. Have you really... never thought about me?"


    Maverick put down the cup and finally turned around to look at Carolina.


    "I know that you have been taking care of Candy all these years. I am very grateful to you, so I didn''t


    punish you hard for what you and your sister did before. You do realize I know the little tricks you and


    your sisters have done. It sounds impersonal, but... Miss Carolina, you should be well aware that all


    these years I have never indicated anything. In other words, I have always made it very clear to you


    that you are not the one for me."


    These words were just killing Carolina!


    She broke down. "Maverick, you are simply heartless!"


    Maverick''s eyes became cold.


    "Maverick, what''s so good about that woman? Do you hate that I had a boyfriend before? You should


    know you and I are the same. You also have a daughter, right? Have I ever said anything about this?


    And Everly has a child, don''t you hate that? Why?! Why you don''t love me but her?"


    His expression hardened instantly.


    He had already lost patience. He said word by word, "You wouldn''t be able to stand in front of me


    saying this if you weren''t a Kahl. Now you can leave. Besides, let me tell you one more thing. You and


    Everly are never on the same level. Don''t provoke me again. I know what you did. At present, I don''t


    want to make a woman back into a corner. Just leave."


    Carolina''s heart shattered into pieces, but her eyes were filled with resentment. "You shall be sorry!"


    She ran to the garage. After she closed the car door, she took a sh drive out of her pocket.


    It was the drive with business secrets that Jenson wanted so bad.


    There was all the information about Maverick''s previous project of Weirdale.


    Carolina''s heart was beating a little fast. She tightly held the steering wheel, but her eyes revealed a


    resolution to destroy everything.


    ''If you are so heartless, then I will not have any scruples!''


    ''Maverick, you force me to do so!''

 Chapter 124 Go to Learn and Help Me Take Care of Candy

    Chapter 124 Go to Learn and Help Me Take Care of Candy


    Everly found the bathroom in Maverick''s bedroom.


    Although her family was not poor, to tell the truth, Maverick''s bathroom was almost asrge as her


    entire room. She was a little shocked.


    She knew that the Lamont family was rich, but when she worked as Maverick''s secretary before, she


    knew that there were many deficits in the Lamont Group before, which were made up by Maverick after


    he took it over.


    In fact, in the forum of Lamont Group, in addition to gossip about some of thepany''s higher-ups,


    there was something about thepany''s performance and the profitability of various projects.


    Everly did see it in those days.


    It was said that Maverick had not only spent a lot of money to buy most of the scattered shares of


    Lamont Group, but also took the shares of the higher-ups of the Lamont family with an absolutely


    overwhelming price.


    In other words, he had been preparing for this after he returned from Italy.


    Others thought that it was easy for him to get the Lamont Group. In fact, Maverick did not have a good


    rtionship with the Lamont family, and he bought thepany withrge amounts of money.


    Everly could not help but wonder what exactly did he do for a living beyond seas?


    ''It seems to be quite mysterious. No specific details have been found when I was looking for investment


    before.''


    She stood on the edge of the bathtub and was still thinking about these things, unaware that someone


    was approaching from behind.


    When the man''s chin was on her shoulder, Everly suddenly came to her senses.


    "What are you thinking? Why do you stand here like a little fool? Aren''t you going to take a shower?"


    Maverick''s hot breath was blowing in her ear.


    Everly felt that she was probably overthinking, so his words had some hidden meaning to her.


    However, a man and a woman alone didn''t need any hints at this time.


    She struggled for a moment, but Maverick simply pulled her over. The two of them faced each other.


    Everly had nowhere to hide this time. The man sighed softly, "Still upset?"


    He was talking about Carolina.


    Everly calmed down and said very naturally, "It''s impossible to feel well, but it''s not that I don''t believe


    in you. With your status, you don''t need to lie to me."


    Hearing her word, Maverick was quite happy. "It''s good that you believe me. I''ll note that in the future."


    "Maverick."


    "Yes?"


    "If ... I mean if, Edmond''s father..." When Everly said this, she suddenly paused. How should she say?


    ''If Edmond''s father is also from City C, and you are in the same social circle...''


    ...


    What a mess.


    "Edmond''s father? And then?" Maverick asked as she broke off in the middle of a sentence.


    Everly was still hesitating about how to organize her words.


    Maverick misunderstood her, and said in a low voice, "You have your past, and so do I. Everly, I have


    always wanted to tell you that my life in Italy wasn''t as simple as you think. So, don''t always think


    you''re not good enough for me because of your past. You are the love of my life, before and after,


    forever."


    He said so much, and when he said the word "before", Everly did not hear the implication.


    But when she heard the word "Italy", she could not help but ask, "When you were in Italy, was it hard


    for you?"


    "No one could seed by ident. Everly, I have never told anyone why my rtionship with the


    Lamont family was so bad."


    "Why?"


    "Do you know that there was a Waller family in C City?"


    Everly was surprised. When she was in college, the Waller family and their group were very famous.


    However, it had indeed disappeared for many years.


    That should be nearly twenty years ago.


    Anyway, she was young then. The Waller family was the most famous business family in C City. At that


    time, Hendrix did not seed, and no one knew about the Farley family. She was not familiar with the


    upper society, not knowing what kind of family the Waller family was.


    Later, the Waller family "vanished" overnight.


    It wasn''t an exaggeration to say that it had vanished.


    At that time, the Waller family was a big cheese in the business world. However, all thepanies in


    the group were in debt overnight, and were involved in themercialwsuits. The person in charge


    of the group was reported, and several of his cousinsmitted suicide by jumping off the building.


    After that, there was no news of the Waller family in C City.


    It only took a few days for the media to report crazily about the news of the Waller family, and then it


    was obvious that someone had blocked all the information channels.


    From then on, great changes had taken ce in C City, and the Waller Family had be four


    families.


    They were the Lamont family, the Kahl family, the Rice family, and the Croke family.


    "I know the Waller family. It was many years ago." Everly thought that Maverick would not mention this


    for no reason. ''The Waller family... was rted to him?''


    "My mother is from the Waller family." Maverick''s tone was indifferent. When the Waller family went


    bankrupt, he was only in his teens, but could already distinguish between right and wrong.


    However, he didn''t have the ability to take revenge.


    "I''ll tell you about it." He was obviously not going to mention what happened in the past today, but he


    was willing to tell Everly these things. "My mother has been in Italy all these years and is fine. She has


    never been in good health. In the past few years, she had to count on medicine to maintain her health,


    and became slightly better in recent years. At the worst, she had to..."


    He paused. Everly could hear a trace of bitterness in his voice. She felt distressed for him.


    "Tell me about itter."


    It must have been very miserable.


    After all, back then, the Waller family had really caused a stir in C City. However, such a tall and


    towering tree had been uprooted. No one knew how much pain Maverick had felt as a tiny root of it in


    those years.


    Too many things had happened today, and she did not want Maverick to recall those anymore.


    "I have a purpose to keep Carolina by my side." Maverick said, "Jenson has always been eyeing the


    Lamont family covetously. In fact, C City is not as calm as it seems. The Kahl family and the Rice family


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    are currently working together, and I''m in charge of the Lamont family now. They are going to unite


    against me."


    Maverick said, "Actually, it wouldn''t be so bad if you weren''t my secretary. I remember you said that you


    wanted to learn something. Go and do it."


    "By the way, help me take care of Candy, Okay?"


    Everly muttered, "Now you want me to take care of her. It was not me before."


    "Not the same."


    "What''s the difference?"


    Maverick hugged her. He held her buttocks and walked towards the table on the side. He ced her on


    the table and squeezed his body between her legs. With one hand on the table, he gently pinched her


    waist.


    "Let me tell you now what the difference is."


    He kissed her softly.

 Chapter 125 Internet Navy

    Chapter 125 Inte Navy


    It seemed that he had suppressed his sexual desire for a long time.


    He indeed didn''t have sex for a very long time. This afternoon, Everly kept wandering in front of him.


    That hooked up his appetite. She had no idea that his desire for her body was so strong that it liked a


    me burning in his heart.


    The man''s hand moved around her body. Everly soon surrendered and let him go.


    With biting her ear, the man was saying, "Darling, you are the only one I love." His voice was not very


    clear but she still can hear it.


    ...


    The next day, when Everly woke up, she felt ached all over.


    She was woken up by her phone.


    Beth had kept calling her all the time.


    Her phone had been ringing four or five times in a row. She was exhausted. Last night, they were


    having almost all-night sex. The man was like a hungry beast, rather frisky in bed.


    She cried and begged for mercy. But the man had not enjoyed himself enough. Then, she fainted


    directly. Probably in thetter half of the night, she was carried by him to clean up her body. At that


    time, she woke up in a daze, losing her temper at the man. The only thing she could do was to be


    obedient.


    She looked at the time again. It was already afternoon.


    Everly was irritable in the getting-ups. And her mood was not particrly good now. Coupled with the


    soreness of her body, she pondered for a moment before picking up the phone.


    "Beth."


    Beth was urgent. "Shit, did you just wake up?"


    "Yes, what''s wrong?"


    "Are you asking me? Hurry up and look at the Weibo news. Something has happened."


    Everly''s heart did a flip slightly. Beth''s tone made it sound like something big had happened. She said,


    "I see." She hung up the phone. When she was about to open Weibo, she realized that the number of


    her unread private messages had already reached 999 +.


    She had received many directive messages.


    She used to spend a lot of time on Weibo when she was abroad partly due to her work. She would pay


    attention to sometest news, more or less. She was somewhat interested in gossip.


    So she registered a Weibo ount some years ago.


    But she seldom shared her life on that, nor did she have many fans, except a few zombie fans, or say,


    fake followers.


    And now, Everly knew that something was wrong.


    Her fingers trembled and she did not dare to open it.


    Because she knew that it must be a bad thing.


    For some reason, she felt very uneasy, like a storm approaching, without any means of response.


    Everly''s intuition proved that she was right.


    The moment she opened Weibo, all she could see was inexplicable malice and viciousness.


    Everly was confused about what exactly was going on. She read a few messages. All of them were


    scolding her.


    [What a shameless woman you are! You stop at nothing to get what you want. Men cheated just


    because there were too many women like you in the world.]


    [What a vicious woman! Isn''t Maverick Lamont a very smart man? How can he be seduced by a


    woman like you?]


    [How could a person like you be a mother? Do you know who your son''s father is? I''m afraid that


    there are too many.]


    [You are Hendrix Farley''s younger sister! I have always admired him. But now, thanks to you, let me


    know what kind of person your brother is.]


    [Shame on you! Bitch! Fucked your boss in his office. You''re really quite something!]


    [Shameless! No wonder I heard recently that the Lamonts and the Kahls are going to break off their


    engagement. It turned out that Maverick Lamont was cheating.]


    ...


    Everly could no longer bear to watch.


    Because there were even more mean words from those people. They said a lot of fucks. And they even


    cursed her family.


    Her hand that was holding the phone was trembling. The power of the Inte was very strong.


    Everything about the Farleys was revealed by the public.


    Not only was she suddenly attacked maliciously, but her parents and her somewhat well-known brother


    were implicated.


    What was even more uneptable to Everly was that her five-year-old son had been scolded as a


    bastard.


    She could not believe that theseizens, who did not understand the truth of the matter, could spit out


    such vicious words.


    She trembled with anger. But she had no choice but to look at the so-called "evidence" that was spread


    on the Inte.


    It indeed can be called evidence. Her face was clearly visible in thepany''s forum photos, which


    had been mosaiced before. This probably was directed at her.


    On the contrary, Maverick''s face in the photos was a little blurry.


    But anyhow, when a female secretary has an improper rtionship with her boss, it is often regarded


    as her fault but not the man''s.


    Also, her rtionship with Lucas Bevell and the fact that Lucas had been transferred to another city by


    Lamont Group, were all dug out.


    With regard to Lucas''s transfer, Everly had no idea about that.


    It was said that Everly deliberately said something to Maverick in order to avoid any contact with her


    ex-boyfriend.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    All the malicious attacks on the Inte were directed at Everly. Regarding the evaluation of Maverick,


    everyone believed that he was seduced by a female secretary who had excellent bed skills. He just


    was carried away by this woman for a while.


    Someone said she was "Cleopatra VII ".


    But not everyone thought so.


    Their reason was that Cleopatra VII was a very beautiful vixen. Everly Farley waspletely inferior to


    her. They even suspected that Everly had had stic surgery.


    Someone exposed a photo of her in high school.


    Everly had corrected her teeth before. This fact satisfied the curiosity of theizens even more.


    Everyone would have some changes in the time of ten years. That was true. But those people didn''t


    care. They cast Everly aside with no mercy.


    In high school, Everly was a bit rustic. Considering her current image, these people were even more


    convinced that Everly had had stic surgery.


    The groundless talks about Carolina before on the Inte obviously were covered up by Everly''s.


    After this wave of attacks, that person, who was employed by Carolina, began to post a message that


    Everly Farley used all means to be Maverick Lamont''s woman. The "evidence" of Carolina was


    actually fake.


    Everly got stuck. It was the first time she fell into the situation that made her beyond justification.


    In the past, no matter what happened, she would not feel so wronged that she really wanted to find


    someone to quarrel with.


    But now, she wanted to kill those people.


    She could not hold back her tears.


    She did not do anything wrong. These keyboard warriors were too vicious.


    When Maverick called, Everly was sitting on the bed, wiping tears.


    Now her biggest concern was her son. "Would anything happen to Edmond in kindergarten


    today?"

 Chapter 126 The Flown-Over Cup Lid

    Chapter 126 The Flown-Over Cup Lid


    When such gossip broke out, Everly was worried about her family.


    Adults could protect themselves, but Edmond was only five. He did not know anything.


    She looked through Weibo and then switched her phone to silent mode because there was always a


    message sound. Therefore, Everly did not receive Maverick''s phone immediately.


    She knew that there must be someone behind the scenes.


    That person targeted her.


    She felt sore all over her body the moment she flipped over the bed. The memory ofst night came at


    this time. No one would feel sweet. Instead, she felt a little ashamed.


    People were really too fragile.


    A person''s mood and state were really different from usual when he faced attacks.


    She admitted that she was also amon woman, who cared about other people''s opinions and


    After washing her face, Everly calmed down a little. The outside must be in a mess. She thought about


    it, thinking that she still needed to contact her brother.


    She picked up her phone again, only to find countless missed calls.


    In just ten minutes, Maverick made more than 10 calls. Just as Everly was about to call back, another


    call came in without stopping.


    Everly''s impetuous mood was slightly soothed.


    She picked up the phone and ced it beside her ear. Then she heard a low male voice from the other


    side, "Are you still in the vi?"


    "Yes."


    "Don''t read any online news."


    "I already saw it." Everly sighed.


    Maverick was silent for a moment, "Fine. Don''t worry about it. I''ve already asked Jayden to deal with it.


    The news will be removed soon."


    Everly thought about it and asked, "Where are Edmond and Candy?"


    "They were sent to the school by their driver in the morning." Maverick knew what she was worried


    about. Heforted her, "Don''t worry, Candy has bodyguards protecting her from the shadows.


    Nothing will happen to her, and there won''t be any reporters at the school."


    Everly trusted Maverick.


    If nothing happened to her son, she would be relieved.


    "Thank you. I''m fine, but don''t let anything happen to Edmond," she said in a hoarse voice, probably


    because she had just woken up and suddenly encountered this kind of thing.


    Maverick could hear it. His voice deepened, "Are you crying?"


    Everly had already calmed down, but Maverick''s sudden care knocked her down. She did not know


    why, but it was as if her heart was suddenly pinched. It was not pain, but bitterness.


    Those curses and insults all turned into grievances. She wanted to say she was fine and that she


    would not be easily defeated by the rumors ... It was fine if she could deceive herself. But she could not


    even pretend to be calm.


    As soon as she opened her mouth, she revealed her emotions. She had a lump in her throat, "I ...


    didn''t..."


    "Don''t pretend to be strong." Maverick felt sorry for her, "Everly, don''t go anywhere. Wait for me at


    home. I''ll be back soon, okay?"


    "I have to go home." Everly sniffed.


    Her parents and brother were worried.


    Her father must be extremely worried. Parrish had just had heart surgery. How could he be stimted


    like this?


    Everly suddenly remembered that Parrish was so angry that he fainted on the spot five years ago when


    he was suddenly told that she was pregnant. He lived his life under other''s opinions.


    Five years had passed with great difficulty, and he epted that his daughter was unmarried and had


    a child.


    Now it was this scandal again.


    Everly was very rational, "Maverick, I know that it was not a coincidence. Someone must be


    deliberately targeting me. I need to exin this to my family. And I am the only one who can do this. If


    you really want me to be at ease, take care of everything. I don''t want to face such a thing again."


    Maverick said, "I only want to see you now."


    Everly''s heart moved. After pondering for a long time, she said in a low voice, "I made the choice. No


    matter what happens, I will be responsible for my choice."


    That''s right. If she wasn''t with Maverick, she wouldn''t need to face these.


    After being with Maverick, she would need to face more of such things in the future, right?


    She did not know. She would be wronged but she would not regret it.


    ...


    After hanging up the phone, a driver came in less than ten minutes to send Everly back to the Farley''s.


    Everly stopped driving by herself under such special circumstances. She got into the car directly.


    On the way, she contacted Hendrix. Of course, Hendrix was the first to know about this. Previously, he


    had been busy dealing with the reporters who had been squatting at the entrance of the Farley''s. In


    fact, it had only been about ten hours since the incident happened. The public opinion on the Inte


    was indeed hard to control, but the negative news had been mostly withdrawn by them.


    It was just that now was the informatization era. At this time, the more you tried to suppress, the more


    people woulde and stir up public opinion.


    In addition, they all knew that the Kahl family was involved in part of this.


    The Lamont family and the Kahl family were not in a good rtionship now, and the Kahl and Rice


    families'' rtionships were a little unusual. The remaining Croke family was just watching.


    Therefore, Hendrix was now on the same side as Maverick.


    Hendrix obviously thought this matter was hard to deal with, "With the support of the Kahl Family, it was


    no longer important who released the news. The point was that Jenson and Den were already very


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    dissatisfied with Maverick. The project of Maverick in Weirdale seemed to have information leaked. He


    was likely to face an usation that he deliberately revealedmercial secrets. It''s not good for me


    to intervene in this matter right now, and I can''t interfere in it either. Your things broke out at the same


    time, so we can only stop the media."


    Hendrix paused for a moment before continuing, "Everly, let''s not talk about this. I just received some


    news today. I had some news about the man five years ago. Come back, I will tell you." Everly could


    not describe this feeling either.


    It was really like riding a rollercoaster.


    In fact, she couldn''t tell if she really wanted to know who the man was.


    When she arrived at the Farley''s, nobody was waiting there. Obviously, Hendrix had asked people to


    ''clear'' the ce. But before she hung up the phone, Hendrix also told her...


    "Everly, if you go home, talk to your father first. He is also very angry this time. I have tried my best not


    to let those unbearable remarks appear in front of him, but I can''t stop him from going to see it himself."


    Therefore, as soon as Everly entered the room, a cup lid flew over.


    Everly didn''t even manage to steady herself before she felt a p on her arm. It was very painful, and


    then the sound of ss shattering came from her feet.


    She shuddered and was startled.

 Chapter 127 What Kind of Fate Was This? Dont Be a Bad Fate!

    Chapter 127 What Kind of Fate Was This? Don''t Be a Bad Fate!


    Gloria did not expect her daughter to return at this time.


    In fact, Parrish did not deliberately throw the lid at Everly. He was just too angry.


    He was just throwing a tantrum. He didn''t expect the lid would fly out and hit Everly''s arm.


    The pain was certain.


    Everly did not know about this situation. She thought that Parrish was too angry with her, so he threw


    the lid at her.


    She did not want her father to be too emotional, so she endured the pain and exined in a low voice,


    "Dad, mom, I know you must be very angry now, but things are not what you see. Those people are


    just talking nonsense. I..."


    "What happened to you and Maverick?" Parrish nced at his daughter''s arm. It was a little swollen.


    His heart ached. He asked his wife to get the medicine box and then looked at Everly, "Tell us since


    you''re back. What exactly happened? You ... you... your brother said before that letting you work in


    anotherpany is also training you. Lamont Group is a goodpany, but you ... you really ...


    really... be with Maverick..."


    The things that exploded on the Inte were indeed very unsightly.


    Parrish couldn''t bear to say those words that insulted the Farley''s. He held it in, his face bing


    even uglier.


    Everly was worried about her father''s illness. But she could just admit it. She did not want to


    deliberately lie and hide anything.


    In fact, she was uncertain whether she should ept Maverick or not, but she never considered


    whether her parents would like him or not.


    Her parents would not hate a person like him.


    But now they had encountered such a situation... Parrish''s anger was written all over his face. Everly


    was helpless, "Dad, there are many misunderstandings in the middle. These reports are not true.


    Maverick and I are not what you see."


    "Are you guys in a rtionship?"


    Everly thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes."


    "You didn''te back yesterday. You said you were at Beth''s house, but you were actually with him?"


    "Yes."


    "He has a daughter. Do you know?"


    "I know." Everly said subconsciously, "Dad, I also have a son."


    Parrish understood what Everly said was different from what Everly had wanted to express.


    Everly just wanted to say that since everyone had children, there was no inequality.


    However, Parrish felt that her daughter was deliberately humbling herself. He did not agree her


    daughter to be pregnant before marriage. No one knew who the father of the child was. Later, she went


    abroad and really gave birth. How could Parrish really feel that her daughter was worse than others?


    His daughter had grown up under his strict guidance since she was young.


    Everly had been doing well since she was a child. They were not a wealthy family, but they had good


    upbringing. Moreover, his daughter was not ugly at all!


    Even if she was in love, she shouldn''t humble herself!


    "So you are willing to be a stepmother?"


    Parrish trembled in anger, "Everly, Dad and Mom gave birth to you and raised you, not to make you be


    a woman that the whole world despised. I don''t know if Maverick is good or not, and I don''t care if he is


    rich or not, but I will never allow you to do so to yourself! Look at you, what have you been said now?


    And Edmond, a five-year-old child, was insulted like that. Do you know that he will always live under


    the shadow?"


    Of course Everly knew.


    Her eyes were red, but she didn''t know how to exin.


    Gloria came down with the medicine box. She heard her husband''s roar. She sighed and hurried over.


    She put down the things andforted, "Alright, alright. Pay attention to your emotional management.


    You just did the surgery. Do you want to do it again?"


    "Mind your own business."


    "Mind my own business? I should better watch you die." Gloria snapped, "Alright, we are the same


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    family. Stop scolding each other. Our son will be back soon. Let''s listen to what he wants to say first.


    Moreover, it seems that the news has been removed. Don''t worry, nothing will happen."


    Parrish widened his eyes, "Isn''t that enough? Do you think I''m a fool?"


    "You are probably a corpse if you''re not a fool. Do you want to be in the operation room again? Can


    you put me at ease? Control your emotions."


    Parrish wanted to say something, but Everly, who stood not far away, was shedding tears. She said in


    a low voice, "Dad, Mom, I''m sorry. It''s all my fault. I shouldn''t make you worry about me. Sorry, don''t be


    angry. No matter what, I will find a way to resolve this matter."


    After Gloriaforted Parrish, she came to Everly, "How are you? Does your arm hurt?"


    "It''s fine."


    "I believe you. Edmond is fine. You will stay at home for the next few days. It''s lucky that your brother''s


    has connections. Don''t listen to your father. He just cares about you too much."


    "Mom, I know. It''s my fault." Everly sniffed.


    Gloria sighed. She looked at her daughter and hesitated for a moment before saying, "At that time, I


    even asked you to go on a blind date. The uncle Edmond mentioned at that time was Maverick, right?


    In fact, if you really like him, as parents, we won''t stop you although he also has a child. Is that child


    still in the same school as Edmond?"


    Everly sighed and nodded.


    "I really don''t know what kind of fate it is. Don''t be a bad fate." Gloria was worried, "Maverick doesn''t


    seem to be a simple person. Everly, you have grown up. You can make your own decisions. You have


    to take a good look yourself, understand? He is much older than you and is rich and powerful. You


    really have to take a good look."


    As a mother, she always talked a lot.


    Everly was upset at the moment. But she could only listen patiently and respond to her from time to


    time.


    By the time Hendrix returned, the situation had already stabilized.


    Parrish took some medicine and went upstairs to rest. Gloria was cleaning up the living room. After


    Hendrix greeted her, he let bring Everly upstairs.


    Everly was also uncertain.


    When she went upstairs, Maverick called.


    It was not convenient for her to pick it up. After she pressed it down, she immediately sent a message


    to him, telling him that she would contact himter and tell him that she was at her home and that she


    was fine.


    Maverick thought that she wasforting her family and quickly replied with a message.


    Maverick: [Your parents are definitely angry. I will exin it to themter. This is my responsibility.]


    Everly looked at the news, suppressing her desire to sigh. She put away the phone and entered


    Hendrix''s study.

    Chapter 128 Aren''t We Dating?


    "Edmond is in the school. I have already contacted Maverick." Hendrix sat on the sofa with a rare


    silence, "I''ll get the driver to pick him up. Don''t worry, nothing will happen. Don''t go to work anyway.


    Don''t you want to learn painting? I''ve arranged a teacher for you. How about you go abroad for a


    while?"


    Everly did not expect the opening speech to be so direct.


    "Things areplicated?"


    Hendrix pressed his eyebrows, "How should I put it? You know that the Lamont family is in a


    fight with other families. Your matter is like a fuse. The Kahl family is pursuing the victory and can''t wait


    to deal with Maverick. I''m just afraid that you will be implicated."


    Everly pursed her lips, wanting to say something.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Hendrix continued, "And you are not alone. Do you know? Edmond is also in danger. Many people in


    the business field are very treacherous. They can do anything."


    Everly swallowed the words she was about to say.


    Hendrix reached out to knock on the table and said, "As for the media, Maverick stepped forward


    immediately and removed all the news. However, someone is behind the scenes. This is how the


    current society is. Public opinion is very destructive. Moreover, at this time, you can''t be too tough. It is


    good for you to change a ce."


    Everly took a deep breath, "If I run away, that means I agree with the insults of others."


    "I won''t run away. Even if Maverick and I are in trouble, we are both unmarried. Who has the right to


    say that? Is it because he has an engagement with the Kahl family? As far as I know, he never


    recognized it directly. I am ready to sue those people."


    Hendrix was a little surprised, "Sue?"


    "Yes, nder, abuse, personal attack. These are all reasons. Why should I hide? I can hide for a while.


    But what will Edmond think in the future? We are fair and square. Don''t be afraid."


    Hendrix smiled, "Very good. I am very pleased that you can think this way. It seems that being a mother


    is different. I am just afraid that you will feel ufortable and can''t tide through these difficulties. Now


    that you have said it yourself, I am relieved."


    However, Everly was concerned with something else, "I don''t want you to participate in it. It''s my own


    affair. You don''t have to worry too much about it. Just like you said, I don''t want you to be hurt by the


    fight between those families."


    Hendrix smiled, "Am I that weak?"


    "Anyway, you have been protecting me all these years. Now I should think for you."


    "It''s good that you can think for us. We are brother and sister. As a brother, I won''t let anyone bully my


    sister."


    Everly felt warmed, "Then what happened to the man five years ago?"


    "I''ve asked someone to investigate the watch. It was limited in the world. But in fact, if someone really


    bought it, they wouldn''t let anyone leak the information. What I knew is that it was bought in Italy by a


    woman. It seems that I still got nothing."


    Italy?


    Everything that happened before could be considered a coincidence, so was this a coincidence?


    Maverick was also in Italy before. But she was not sure if the watch was really Maverick''s, just like she


    was not sure whether that man was Maverick.


    But at this time, the hope in the depths of her heart surged again.


    It was just like watching reasoning TV when you were young. People often said, most of the time, you


    should think that the most impossible would often be the truth.


    "Do you know anything about that woman?"


    Hendrix replied, "I can''t guarantee it''s true. It is a local Italian, but I have already sent someone to


    contact her."


    "If there is any news, tell me immediately."


    "Sure." After Hendrix ended the topic, he asked her, "Are you with Maverick now?"


    Everly nodded and admitted.


    Hendrix smiled, "Maverick is good. He can take my sister down so quickly. Then what do you think?


    Maverick''s daughter. Do you know anything about her?"


    Everly sighed slightly, "Why the first thing everyone thinks of is our children? There will be no problem,


    and I don''t care how the child came. Just like Maverick never asked me how Edmond came. We have


    our own past. Isn''t it good to respect each other''s past?"


    "You are very mature now. I have nothing to worry about." Hendrix was about to say something when a


    call came in.


    Hendrix changed his tone. He seemed to deal with his work. She made a gesture and then left the


    study room.


    She walked to her room.


    She closed the door and then took out her phone. After thinking for a moment, she called Maverick.


    The phone rang for a while before it was picked up. There was some noise, so Everly was sure that he


    was busy right now.


    "Are you busy now?" Said Everly.


    Maverick seemed to walk away and then he said in a low voice, "I''m fine. Are you at home?"


    "Yes."


    "How are you?"


    "I''m fine. Don''t worry." Everly thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know who did this?"


    Everly felt those people must cooperate with each other. Someone in Lamont Group provided the


    "evidence" and another group of people spent a lot of money to manipte the public opinion. She also


    felt that it was the sisters of the Kahl family who did it, but it should not be that simple.


    "The Kahl Family and the Rice Family." Maverick evaded the crucial point, "It''s not entirely for you. This


    is my own problem. Everly, I have wronged you. I will solve it as soon as possible."


    Everly said, "I felt a little wrong at first. Now that I have adjusted it, it''s actually nothing. Those people


    have nothing to do with me, so why should I care so much? But I can''t be indifferent. I am ready to


    sue."


    "Sue?"


    "Yes, they ndered me, leaked my privacy, and attacked me personally. I''m ready to sue for all this. I


    hope you can support me."


    Maverick''s reaction was probably the same as Hendrix, thinking that she could not get over the barrier.


    After all, it was impossible for her to have no emotions when she was attacked like this.


    However, she was very tough. She was ready to sue and defend her right.


    "Everly, you are right. I support you. But you have to know that if you sue, you will face more public


    opinion. In fact, I can..."


    "I''m not afraid." Everly interrupted him, "Aren''t we dating normally? Why should they say that?


    Maverick, I''m not afraid."

 Chapter 129 Live Broadcast

    Chapter 129 Live Broadcast


    When Everly said that she had decided to sue, she thought that things couldn''t get any worse than that.


    She only needed to protect her own interests. She had nothing to do with the Kahls or the Rices.


    Although she could not help Maverick, she didn''t want to be his liability. So she let him handle his


    things.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Lamont Group had a legal team.


    Hendrix also had one. In fact, she didn''t have to worry about anything. She just needed to straighten


    her back and cover her ears to believe what she was thinking.


    But Everly did not expect that after Maverick withdrew a batch of the news on the Inte, a second


    wave came soon.


    It came ferociously, instantly drawing the attention to the wrong direction.


    The Inte started to spread the gossip that Everly dated Lucas in school.


    They thought she only looked innocent. When she was with Lucas, her goal was to lure Maverick. She


    just used Lucas who was still in school at that time to get to Maverick.


    All things could be proved.


    Her close friend from high school proved the gossip was true.


    This friend was Sarah.


    She said those, no longer through a video nor a simple photo, text, but a live broadcast.


    Everly, who was at the center of public opinion was under such a direct attack, whichpletely


    aroused the curiosity of the onlookers.


    There was the inte army who led the opinions. When the live broadcast started, the tform almost


    copsed.


    It was probably equal to the effect of a superstar''s scandal.


    The Farleys now was a respectable family. Moreover, Maverick was involved.


    Everly did date Lucas. Now she had a rtionship with Maverick. In terms of morality, it could not be


    said that they would be condemned. However, Everly''s situation was different.


    She was the target.


    No matter what she said or what she did, she was wrong. What was more, she had a history with


    Lucas.


    Soon, the wholework would begin to scold her for being shameless.


    The content of the live broadcast had been nned. The insider''s face was pixted, and the voice


    was altered. But it could be confirmed that this was a woman.


    It was the question-and-answer format and the two voices were processed.


    Asked: "Are you a high school ssmate of the current protagonist of the online incident?"


    Answer: "Yes, we met when we were in high school. Later, we went to college together."


    Asked: "Can you briefly describe what kind of person she is?"


    Answer: "I believe that everyone can tell a person''s character, and I am not a person involved, so I


    won''t judge anyone. Today, I am willing to ept this live broadcast interview, not because I want to be


    famous. This has nothing to do with me. I just want everyone to know the truth. The opinions can be


    manipted. In the end, the truth might be considered as an illusion and malicious spection. After


    all, there is a powerful financial group supporting her. In the face of power, I think everyone has the


    right to know the truth."


    When Everly heard this, she was so angry that her hands were shaking.


    The Right to know the truth?


    What right did Sarah have to announce her privacy, and what right did she have to speak of the truth?


    Who allowed her?


    Everly thought she had never done the least harm in her life. Why was she condemned like this?


    How could that sneaky woman say she would make things right?


    Even if she and Maverick had an affair or she obtained him through some tricks, it was not a heinous


    crime like she killed someone.


    The live broadcast continued.


    Asked: "Then, please tell me the truth."


    Answer: "Let me make the long story short. Everyone knows Everly. As for the content that was


    forcefully removed before, I cannot say that it is the truth, but there is no smoke without fire. I can


    guarantee that what I say is true."


    "I have known her for more than 10 years. We used to be good friends. We all trusted each other. From


    high school to university, we grew up together. She did well in school. She was cute and many people


    liked her, but she had high standards. Back then, she also told us that she had to would only choose


    someone with a position of respectability. When she got together with Lucas, we didn''t know that her


    boyfriend was rted to the famous Lamont Family. Everyone was a poor student at that time. What


    did we know about the background? It was also a coincidence that we found out that the person she


    admired was not Lucas, but Maverick."


    "I think she had prepared for getting close to powerful people a long time ago. After that, she broke up


    with her boyfriend and med this on a good friend."


    "These are not the points. The point is that back then, she even ndered her friend. We said in private


    that she only pretended to be innocent in front of boys. All girls know that she is a typical example of a


    prostitute who wants to establish a memorial arch. She doesn''t care about what girls think about her.


    As long as boys think she is fabulous, that''s enough."


    Asked: "You''ve said so much. Is there anything special?"


    Answer: "Of course. Let''s talk about the rtionship between Everly and one of her good friends. Not


    many people know about this matter. Everly''s family was ordinary at that time. Her parents were both


    cultured people and she had an older brother. Her brother wasn''t very famous at that time, and not


    many people knew about it. But her brother was not a good person. He was the famous ''devil'' in high


    school. He yed an important role in this story."


    "Her brother had nothing and Everly wanted to associate with powerful people. The two had the same


    goal. When we were in college, Everly used some methods to take an internship quota and squeezed


    out her best friend. After getting that quota, she secretly mocked her friend for not being qualified. Then


    there was a cocktail party. She knew the person she wanted would be there so she gave up the quota.


    I don''t know what the result was, but she is a slut who will take advantage of her friend."

 Chapter 130 There Are Always Good Things by Your Side

    Chapter 130 There Are Always Good Things by Your Side


    The live streaming was almost over.


    Thousands of people watched it and made real-timements on it.


    The only thing those rubbernecks were interested in was spilling the tea about Everly but not seeking


    the truth.


    Everly was buried in the wave of offensive words. She felt sick.


    Although the live streamer used a voice changer, it was still possible to tell that she was Sarah.


    After what had happened in the restaurant, Sarah unmasked. Everly knew Sarah wouldn''t just let her


    off. Making use of every bit of her gossip, Sarah wanted to make things difficult for her.


    Everly was confused. She did not even know whether she was angry or incredulous.


    Inverting right and wrong in such a way, even telling everyone by streaming a live, didn''t she feel


    shame?


    Now, the gossip about her must be spreading everywhere.


    Everly was already numb to all of those endless gossips. But what she could not ept the most was


    those people were even scolding her brother.


    Edmond and Hendrix were all innocent.


    She sat in front of theputer for a long time, restlessly. Then, somehow, she yed the live


    streaming again.


    She watched the whole live streaming as if she was self-abusing.


    Compared to the first time she watched it, she was much calmer.


    She paused it, then took out her phone, ignoring all other missed calls, and directly called Beth.


    Beth was apprehensive about her. She had called her several times before. When Everly called back,


    she instantly picked up. "Everly, are you okay? You know what. The woman in the live streaming is


    Sarah. D*mn I''m going to kill the bitch!"


    When the whole world cast her aside, there were always people who never questioned her. They had


    been trying to protect her without any hesitation.


    Everly had just been so angry that she was numb. At this moment, she felt warm in her heart.


    She smiled in tears, and said, "I''m fine. It''s not worth feeling upset for someone like her. By the way, did


    you hear anything new?"


    "You''re right. It is not worthy. But I still have to say if I saw her, I would definitely kill her." Beth said in a


    bad mood.


    Suddenly, Everly faintly heard a man''s voice from the other side of the phone. The voice sounded


    angry about what Beth just said.


    Everly knew it was Lawrence.


    Beth did not block the microphone, so Lawrence''s voice was clear.


    "Beth, you pretended to be ady, when I first met you, right? You listen to what you just said. Don''t say


    that again."


    Beth was not listening to him. "Get away! I don''t have time to talk to you right now. Lawrence! I''m a


    person like this. Don''t be mean, or you sleep in the living room tonight."


    The stern voice of Lawrence suddenly softened. "Alright, calm down. Do whatever you want, okay? Is


    there anything I can help with? I knew some police officers. I think they can help investigate some


    useful information."


    "Ah, there''s no need. I can do it myself."


    "Beth Carter!"


    "Can you be quiet? I''m on the phone."


    ...


    Although the current situation was a little troublesome, Beth and Lawrence''s bicker helped Everly calm


    down. When she felt a little hopeless in such a situation, she suddenly discovered that there were


    some good things by her side. Not everyone cast her aside.


    She smiled slightly, suddenly being encouraged.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    There was nothing to be afraid of. Everly could live without anything she had gotten, and she definitely


    could not throw away her courage to live.


    Beth finally sent Lawrence away and then said to Everly, "Sorry. He is clingy."


    Everly smiled and said, "It''s good for you to be like this now. Beth, cherish him."


    "Every day, he keeps eyes on me."


    "I believe that he will change for you."


    "Forget it. What were you going to say to me just now?"


    Everly tried to calm down and said, "I also believe that the person in the live streaming is Sarah Barrett.


    I have seen her before."


    "When?"


    "The two days before the incident happened. I thought I told you. Maverick and I brought Edmond and


    Candy to the amusement park. When we went out for dinner, we happened to meet her. Also, there


    was something happened."


    Everly exined to Beth what happened that day.


    After Beth heard this, she even cursed at Sarah. She believed that Sarah was not a good one. Now


    she was getting angrier about her. "Shit! What the hell is this? It''s awful. The person in the live


    streaming must be her. She censored her image and changed her voice. Does she think everyone else


    is a fool?"


    Everly said, "But that day, she had been hinting at me that there must have been some


    misunderstandings back then. I thought she just was such that kind of person. But after I listened to her


    live streaming, especially the part about her internship, I was wondering whether there had been some


    misunderstandings back then."


    "What misunderstanding? Fuck her!"


    "I have known her for many years. She was not like this before." Everly said calmly, "You know what, I


    may not be very good at judging people, but for Sarah, I know her very well. In her junior year, she


    suddenly seemed to turn her back against me. She changed very fast. After she betrayed me, she


    didn''t stay with Lucas. Then, someone reported on the media sites that she was having an affair with


    some rich guy. After that, we ultimately broke up."


    Beth was a little disappointed. "What do you want to say? Even if there may be a misunderstanding,


    how could she be so shameless as to lie? Listen to what she said. She insulted you badly. I want to


    tear her mouth apart."


    Everly, on the other hand, was calmer because she was about to figure things out.


    She said, "I know. I don''t have any sympathy for her, nor did I forgive her. If there was a


    misunderstanding in the past, she should want to take revenge on me. I think that she is being used by


    someone this time. Why don''t we find some evidence to humiliate her?"


    Beth agreed.


    "I understand what you mean. Give me some time. I''ll go online to look into it."


    Everly said a few more words to Beth before hanging up the phone.


    Just as the call ended, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from downstairs.


    She guessed it was Edmond.


    She walked to the window and saw that it was indeed Edmond, but the person standing next to him


    was Maverick.

 Chapter 131 I Havent Agree to Marry My Daughter to You!

    Chapter 131 I Haven''t Agree to Marry My Daughter to You!


    Sending Edmond back to the Farley''s was only an excuse.


    Maverick''s purpose was to see Everly.


    The previous matter had not been solved and now he had to deal with this video. Maverick knew that


    behind these were the Kahl family and the Rice family. He had to leave tomorrow for Italy.


    That was why he hade to the Farley''s today.


    But no matter how great a man he was, in Parrish''s eyes he was no more than...


    The culprit who had let his daughter suffer all these.


    Therefore, when Parrish saw Edmond, he immediately asked Gloria to bring his grandson upstairs and


    then blocked Maverick''s way.


    They were not from the same world.


    The Farley family was different from the Lamont family, not to mention that Maverick had grown up


    abroad.


    Parrish was stubborn by nature. He now put the me on Maverick and did not disguise his hostility.


    Maverick agreed with Parrish''s "hostility" towards him.


    No matter what, he was in the wrong.


    Maverick greeted Parrish most humbly, "Hello, Uncle Parrish. I am Maverick."


    He bowed to Parrish.


    Although Parrish was stubborn, he was well cultivated.


    As the saying goes, one good turn deserved another. Parrish could not throw a tantrum for no reason.


    However, he still kept a straight face, "Don''t call me uncle. I dare not be your uncle anymore."


    Maverick said modestly, "Uncle Parrish, I came to apologize to you. I hope you can give me a chance.


    About Everly, it''s my fault and I will shoulder the responsibility."


    Parrish was surprised by his modesty, but he felt it is toote.


    The things had already happened. What could he do?


    He could not reverse the past.


    "How are you going to take responsibility?" Parrish asked him.


    Maverick did not hesitate, "If you agree, I will marry Everly. Of course, you are not familiar with me.


    Naturally, you need to consider your daughter''s marriage thoroughly. From my view, I want to solve the


    problem first and announce my rtionship with Everly to the public. We are lovers. We shouldn''t let


    people say that. As a man, I should take the responsibility."


    Parrish hesitated for a moment but then retorted with a cold face, "I haven''t considered marrying my


    daughter to you."


    At this moment, Everly came down from upstairs.


    She happened to hear it.


    She looked embarrassed and nced at Maverick. Then, she ran to Parrish, "Dad, it''s not what you


    think. Can you let me talk to him alone?"


    Parrish''s chest heaved up and down. "He just said that you were in love? When did that start?"


    Everly rubbed her temples and red at Maverick helplessly.


    Maverick shouldn''t havee to their house so abruptly. He didn''t even inform her beforehand. Parrish


    had heart disease and couldn''t get too excited.


    She avoided a straight answer, "Just not long ago... Dad, I will exin it to youter. Aren''t you going


    upstairs? Take a rest. I have grown up. I can solve my own problems."


    Parrish snorted, "You can mind your own business. But don''t influence Edmond and your brother. Do


    you think I don''t know what others say about our family? My phone has been ringing off the hook. Do


    you know how embarrassed I am? Even if you are in love, you shouldn''t make a fuss of it as if you


    want to broadcast it to the world."


    "Dad... I know I was wrong. Don''t be angry..."


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Maverick watched as Everly lowered her head and was scolded by Parrish.


    His face darkened.


    Even though Parrish was her father, Maverick could not bear anyone being so rude to his woman in


    front of him.


    His eyes darkened, but he suppressed his anger.


    Fortunately, Gloria, who was more rational and gentle, came down and pulled her husband away.


    Everly turned to Maverick and sighed, "Why are you here? Why didn''t you tell me in advance?"


    "I came to bring Edmond over." His eyes were fixed on her. He probably wanted to hug her. But her


    family was there. Maverick restrained his impulse and said in a low voice, "I''m flying to Italy tonight. It


    may take a few days. Stay at home and don''t go out. You can go to my ce. Candy is in City C."


    Everly understood what he meant and hesitated, "My dad might... I will go to your ce if possible. If I


    can''t make it, who will take care of Candy?"


    "There are servants at home, but it is best if you can go over."


    Everly said, "I will tell Dad. He has heart disease and has just undergone an operation. Don''t take what


    he just said seriously. He just has a bad temper, but actually..."


    "I don''t care what he says to me." Maverick interrupted her and held Everly''s hand. He gently pressed it


    in his palm and whispered, "But what I told him was what I think. Everly, this time is my fault. I have to


    go back to Italy. I once told you that my mother is there. When Ie back, I will tell you about the


    past."


    He took out a ck velvet box from the pocket of his coat and handed it to Everly.


    "That day in my ce, I didn''t have the opportunity to give it to you. The next day, this thing happened."


    Everly knew that this was the pink diamond that he had bought at a high price.


    Maverick said, "It''s yours. Don''t tell me you don''t want it. Keep it."


    Everly epted it in the end.


    In the past, she refused his gifts because they were not lovers. Now they were, the price of the gift was


    proportionate to the status of her boyfriend.


    He was Maverick. It''s natural that his gift is valuable.


    Maverick had proposed to marry her. Why couldn''t she take a diamond?


    She took it.


    Maverick leaned a little closer to her and looked at her passionately, "I want to hug you, and kiss you.


    But... your father seems to be watching upstairs all the time."


    Thetter half of his sentence sounded rather helpless.


    Everly couldn''t help butugh. "Go and do your own things. I can''t help you much, but at least I can


    take care of myself. As for the live broadcast, leave it to me. I know who has done it, and I know what


    to do to make the best counterattack."

 Chapter 132 Another Email From Jack!

    Chapter 132 Another Email From Jack!


    Maverick knew that Everly was a rather independent woman.


    After all, she had been abroad for five years with a son.


    He hoped that she couldpletely rely on him. But no matter what, he would back her in any case.


    "Do whatever you want to do. Don''t be afraid. If you have any problem, contact me immediately, got it?"


    Everly nodded in agreement.


    She wanted to invite Maverick in but she knew that he must have a tight schedule. Parrish was still


    looking at them from upstairs.


    Everly changed her mind and sent Maverick into the car.


    Then, she was pulled into the car by Maverick.


    As soon as the car door was closed, Maverick kissed her eagerly. He seemed to have an


    unquenchable thirst.


    Although the car window could not see through from the outside, Everly could not indulge Maverick.


    After a while, she struggled to stop him. "Maverick..."


    Maverick was breathing heavily.


    Maverick once told Everly that she is the only woman he has had.


    But Everly doubted whether he could be abstinent for years.


    She whispered, "I''m going back. Take care."


    "Everly,e with me to Italy next time and meet my mother," Maverick said while rubbing her earlobe.


    Everly felt that he would swallow her at any time.


    His desire for her was almost palpable.


    They had just been in love. Although they were in a special situation, his sudden appearance shocked


    her. She thought it was too early for them to meet each other''s parents.


    "Let''s solve the problem first. Goodbye."


    "You seem to be unwilling?" Maverick frowned.


    Everly did not know how to answer.


    "Is that so?"


    "Have you always been so impatient?" Everly asked, feeling a little helpless.


    "Am I impatient?"


    "After all, we haven''t been together for long. Besides, we have two children. Most importantly, I..."


    She wanted to confirm who the man was five years ago.


    N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    Although no matter who that man was, it would not affect their decision.


    But they could not will the problem away. They had to solve it.


    Therefore, Everly preferred to have everything done step by step. Moreover, she felt a sense of


    uneasiness but she could not tell the reason.


    "You what?"


    "It''s nothing. Let''s talk about it after this matter is settled, okay?"


    Maverick pressed his lips. He had been esteemed and sought-after in the public. But in front of Everly,


    he was more like a kid asking for candy.


    He was a little unhappy.


    "I won''t run away." Everly was a little amused andforted him.


    Maverick was now really like a giant husky, looking pitiful and being eager to get attention. Everly had a


    soft spot for him like this.


    She thought, ''How could there be such a man?''


    ''He was cold and overbearing by nature, yet he revealed such a helpless and indecisive look before


    me.''


    "Of course you won''t run away. You are mine." Maverick pinched her face. He would like to stay for a


    while and be with her. But he couldn''t leave a bad impression on the Farleys.


    Parrish was dissatisfied with him now.


    Maverick hugged Everly for a while and finally drove away under Jayden''s urging.


    She finally sent her away.


    Everly breathed a sigh of relief.


    She felt that Maverick seemed to be very clingy after they became lovers.


    He was so different from his usual image.


    She was overwhelmed by happiness. Even the video could not bother her.


    She believed it is the power of love.


    Thinking back to the years when she and Lucas were dating, she had never felt this way.


    Thinking of Lucas, Everly went back to the study and pondered for a long time. Finally, she took out her


    phone. Lucas did leave her his number before.


    She saved his number out of politeness.


    Maybe she should have a good talk with Lucas about their past.


    Moreover, her "scandal" probably had also affected Lucas.


    Just as she was about to make a call, an anonymous email popped up on her phone.


    Only a few people knew her personal email box. Even Maverick did not know.


    Beth did not know it, let alone others. She used it in America.


    Everly thought that it might be Jack, who she had not contacted for a long time.


    She hurriedly opened the email. It was anonymous, but she could be sure that it was Jack.


    They had known each other for five years. Although their marriage was not real, their rtionship was


    good. They knew each other very well. When Jack worked in Doctors Without Borders, he often contact


    her through emails. He was used to leaving some space at the beginning.


    Ever since thest time Jack left and sent her those strange messages, she had not heard from him.


    He suddenly contacted her at this critical juncture. Everly thought maybe he has heard about her


    scandal.


    The mail was in English, but Everly could naturally understand it.


    The general meaning of the emails was:


    "Everly, did you remember what I told you thest time? I don''t know why you are with Maverick. I have


    been paying attention to your news. I am not in Asia at the moment. For your and your son''s safety, I


    hope you keep a low profile. I told you that if we meet again, I have something very important to tell


    you. But at present, my own situation is ratherplicated. Please believe that I want to protect you


    and your son. Do you remember in which hospital you had given birth to your son? If someone asks


    you this question, don''t answer. Don''t tell anyone. Remember my words."


    ...


    It was the same content again.


    Jack had been constantly reminding her to keep a secret about her giving birth to Edmond.


    He had been implicating that something had happened back then and she had been kept in the dark.


    Women had a keen sixth sense.


    Everly finished the email and took a screenshot. Then, she deleted the email.


    She was unsettled.


    She sent the screenshot to Hendrix and texted him on WeChat.


    [Everly: Hendrix. Five years ago, I gave birth to Edmond in the MD Zender Hospital in America. Jack


    was my attending physician and my nominal husband. Can you help me investigate what happened at


    that time?]


    Then, without hesitation, she dialed Lucas''s number.

 Chapter 133 Sowing Discord

    Chapter 133 Sowing Discord


    Lucas had previously worked at the headquarter of the Lamont Group.


    In the past few years, he had be a manager.


    Moreover, the Bevell family and the Lamont family were rtives.


    He could not bepared to his uncle, Maverick, but he was also capable.


    When he was transferred, he knew that it was rted to Everly.


    At that time, he could not believe that Maverick could do this for a woman.


    There had been rumors in thepany about the rtionship between Everly and Maverick. Lucas


    knew that he is in the wrong for cheating Everly. But it had been five years ago. At first, he thought that


    his uncle and Everly...


    He could not believe that they would be together.


    Perhaps because Everly had once been his girlfriend, Lucas thought she is not worthy of Maverick.


    Lucas thought highly of Maverick.


    So, when he was transferred, Lucas was reluctant.


    He didn''t expect that not long after he left, there woulde such a scandal. As Everly''s ex-boyfriend,


    he was repeatedly mentioned. These days, his old ssmates, colleagues all called him and asked


    about it. Lucas felt embarrassed.


    Now, Everly contacted him.


    The feeling of inferiority in Lucas''s heart was now reced by this inexplicable feeling of superiority.


    She should have contacted him. She had brought him so much trouble!


    If the scandal was true, he was no longer on the wrong side.


    By ming Everly, Lucas had not a sense of guilt but thought the whole world owed him.


    This was the case for Lucas.


    He felt that Everly had let him down. When he picked up the phone, his tone was arrogant. "I didn''t


    expect that Miss Everly would contact me."


    Everly was stunned for a moment. Hearing the ridicule in his tone, she lost interest tomunicate


    with him. "I am also surprised that I need to contact you. Mr. Lucas, since we don''t want to contact


    each other, let''s cut to the chase. Have you seen the video?"


    Lucas was angry.


    He thought that Everly wants to ask for her help.


    But her attitude was so unfriendly.


    Was she so arrogant because Maverick was on her back?


    But Maverick had not stood up for her!


    Lucas was convinced by his fanciful thought. "I saw it. Everly, did you date me to get in touch with my


    uncle?"


    Everly was speechless.


    "I was really blind at that time. Now in the time of need, do you think of me again? But in the past few


    years, my sense of guilt has inhibited me from finding a wife. What a surprise! You turn out to be a


    bitch."


    Everly was so angry that sheughed out, "Lucas, are you crazy?"


    "How dare you scold me?"


    "If you were standing in front of me, I would also hit you!"


    "Everly!"


    "I don''t have to exin to you what kind of person I am. I don''t care what you think about me. I called to


    tell you the person in the video is Sarah. Don''t tell me you can''t recognize my best friend under her


    disguise. You cheat on me for her back then. Can''t you tell she was lying or not? When we were


    together, wasn''t Maverick abroad? Did the Lamont family think highly of your Bevell family at that time?


    You had never said in public that you were Maverick''s rtive, right? Lucas, I knew you well. Back in


    school, you were not a top student and you were impulsive. If you had a close rtionship with the


    Lamonts, why didn''t you retort when others were bragging in your face?"


    Lucas was shocked.


    Because he really didn''t recognize it.


    The person in the video was Sarah.


    He had not seen Sarah for many years. When he broke up with Everly, he didn''t be together with


    Sarah.


    Lucas was not totally on an impulse to have sexual intercourse with Sarah.


    Sarah was beautiful, and Lucas liked her very much. When he slept with Sarah, he had made the


    decision to break up with Everly.


    Unfortunately, Sarah had ignored him after that.


    Unexpectedly, the woman in the video was Sarah!


    At this point, Everly was sure that Lucas did not recognize Sarah.


    She thought about it and said, "It seems that you really don''t know. There is one thing you can judge for


    yourself. Years ago I met her in a restaurant. You can investigate what she is doing now. In addition,


    don''t you know about the internship?"


    Lucas''s heart skipped a beat.


    Everly directly hung up.


    Lucas no longer had the look of smugness. His face was ashen.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    He threw his phone on the table and re-opened the live video. He watched it again. The woman was


    Sarah.


    However, he had not watched theplete video before.


    Sarah talked about that ball during the internship...


    Lucas was very clear.


    Could it be that Sarah slept with him and leaked it out to Everly on purpose?


    Lucas received a text message. Everly sent him the contact information of Sarah''s.


    ...


    After sending the message, Everly thought she is sowing discord between them. She was sure that


    Lucas would contact Sarah.


    A knock on the door woke her up from her thoughts.


    "Mommy, let''s go find Candy," Edmond said as he ran over in his pajamas.


    Everly recalled that before Maverick left, he did tell her that Candy lived alone in the big vi.


    Although there were servants, such a young child should need thepany of her family.


    However, it was not convenient for them to go out at this moment. There were probably no reporters at


    their door, but once they left this area, there must be someone waiting outside.


    "Why don''t we wait for your uncle toe back and let him send us there?" Everly thought that it would


    be safer with Hendrix around.


    "Mommy, Candy called me just now. She was crying. She wanted me to go over and apany her,"


    said Edmond, holding his phone.


    Everly was surprised.


    "In the past, Candy didn''t want to bother us. Now we are a family. When Uncle Maverick is on a


    business trip, we should treat Candy as our family. Moreover, Uncle Maverick has a lot of models that I


    want to study."

 Chapter 134 I Will Miss You

    Chapter 134 I Will Miss You


    Everly could not help butugh. "Who taught you this?"


    "Mommy, do you think I am a three-year-old child? I am already five years old."


    Everly was rendered speechless.


    "When Maverick left, he told me the same thing. It''s not that I don''t want to go and see Candy, but your


    grandfather probably won''t agree now." When Everly thought about the innocent little girl who stayed


    alone in such a big vi, she felt very sorry for her.


    "Why is Grandpa angry?" Edmond was confused. "Forget it! I''ll go to talk with Grandpa. Grandma said


    that his heart is not in good condition and he can''t be emotional. I will try my best tofort him."


    Everlyughed.


    However, Edmond was right. He would do a better job than her.


    After all, Parrish loved his grandson more than his daughter.


    Parrish looked very proud and arrogant, but deep inside, he was very fond of children. What was more,


    he had lost five years of kinship. That was why Parrish doted on Edmond very much now.


    Sure enough, less than five minutester, Edmond ran back and said to Everly that his grandfather had


    agreed.


    Everly was about to ask whether Parrish agreed to let her and Edmond go over there.


    However, Edmond added, "Grandpa said that Candy cane to our ce."


    "Let Candye over?" Everly was stunned.


    Just as Edmond nodded, Parrish followed behind him with a sullen face. He was not in a good mood.


    "You even know how to threaten me with such a little kid now? It''s not a big deal. Since you want to


    help someone to take care of the child so much, why don''t you ask me yourself? Just bring the little girl


    here. How can youe to his ce? It''s ridiculous!"


    Everly thought to herself, ''Is it not ridiculous to bring Candy here?''


    She had no idea about what her father thought about.


    If not because of what happenedst time, Parrish wouldn''t have opposed it openly and so firmly. In


    fact, Parrish liked children very much. In the past, when Everly and her brother were still young, Parrish


    doted on them very much, but there was a certain bottom line.


    He would never spoil them.


    Parrish loved his children the most in the world. When Everly was pregnant, Parrish was so angry that


    he had a heart attack and stayed in the ICU for a long time.


    Therefore, it was easy to imagine that Parrish was moved when he heard that there was a child as old


    as Edmond staying alone at home.


    Of course, Everly believed that her son must exaggerate the story.


    Everly thought that it was not a bad idea to let Candye over, so she nned to pick up Candy


    herself.


    But it would be risky for her to go out now. Afraid that there would be reporters, she contacted Hendrix.


    However, because Hendrix had a temporary meeting, he could note over for now.


    Everly thought for a moment and called Candy.


    The little girl must be waiting for her. When she received the call, she shouted in a pitiful tone, "Everly,


    when are youing over? I''m a little scared at home alone."


    Everlyughed.


    She thought to herself, ''This little girl is really smart. How can anyone say no to her since she said so?''


    After all, Maverick was a man. No matter how much he loved his child, he still had a lot of


    responsibilities on his shoulders. He had no way to take care of Candy in every aspect.


    During the previous contact with Candy, Everly felt that the little girl was very independent.


    The reason why Candy was affectionate with Everly now was that she wanted her to apany her.


    Everly felt very touched. She smiled and said, "Shall I go over to pick you up now?"


    "Youe to pick me up?"


    "Yes! Would you like toe to my ce? Well... You can y with my parents and my brother. They


    can also apany you. And Edmond is also at home recently. If you don''t go to school, you can


    apany each other."


    Hearing this, Candy was very happy. "Really? Everly, can I really go to your ce?"


    "Sure."


    Everly couldn''t sit still when she heard the little girl''s excited tone. She really liked Candy. It was as if


    she was born to be intimate with her.


    "I will pick you up now. Wait for me at home. I''ll be there soon."


    Candy cheered. Everly hung up the phone and dressed up before going out.


    She drove the car herself. Maverick''s vi was rtively far, so it took her half an hour on the way.


    When Everly arrived at the vi, Candy was already waiting at the door. Several servants were


    standing behind her. When they saw Everly, they knew she was here to pick up Candy.


    The little girl should have told these servants who took care of her. However, nobody was allowed to


    take Candy away without Maverick''s permission.


    That was why Everly called Maverick after arriving at the vi.


    Maverick went to Italy by private ne. When Everly called him, he just finished a video conference


    and immediately picked up her call.


    "I haven''t arrived yet." The man picked up the phone and began to report his whereabouts. "I''m


    nning to tell you when I get there. You haven''t rested yet? I may arrive there in the middle of the


    night. There are still some things to deal with."


    Everly held the phone and the corners of her mouth couldn''t help but curl up slightly. Her voice was


    soft. "I''m not calling you for this. I called you to tell you something."


    "What?"


    "I''m at your house."


    "Okay."


    "My dad said that I can take Candy to my ce. I am here to pick up Candy. In the next few days, she


    can stay at my ce. Your house is too big. My parents are at home and they can be herpany. Do


    you agree with that?"


    Maverick was a little surprised. "Your father agreed to let my daughter go to your ce?"


    "Yes. My dad actually likes children." Everly said with a smile, "Candy is so cute. My dad will definitely


    like her a lot."


    Maverick''s tone carried a bit of happiness and helplessness. "I didn''t expect that one day, I would need


    to rely on my daughter to get my father-inw''s approval."


    "Don''t talk nonsense."


    "Did I say it wrong?"


    "I won''t talk to you anymore. I''ll take Candy away and I''ll take good care of her. You can do your


    business at ease. Tell the servants at home."


    Maverick certainly believed that Everly would take good care of Candy.


    "Of course, I trust you one hundred percent." He then said something else by the way, "I asked Jayden


    to deal with the negative news on the Inte. I know you want to deal with it yourself, but it''s not good


    to do nothing with it for now. I asked him to take it down first. If you can''t reach me when you want to


    take action, you cane to Jayden. He is in the country. He will help you to deal with anything."


    Everly replied, "Okay." Before hanging up the phone, she said, "Maverick, you have to be careful. Also,


    thank you."


    However, the man on the other side refused to budge. "A ''thank you'' is not what I want, you know."

    Everly looked embarrassed. There were so many people standing beside her. She was embarrassed.


    Then she said goodbye and hung up the phone.


    However, in the end, she still secretly edited a WeChat message.


    Everly: [I will miss you.]

 Chapter 135 She Was Too Much Like Everly

    Chapter 135 She Was Too Much Like Everly


    In the private ne.


    The secretary sitting opposite Maverick clearly felt that Maverick was in a very good mood.


    It was like that he was glowing.


    The secretary was the chief secretary in charge of matters in Italy. Maverick did not like foreigners to


    help him to run thepany. The employees he trusted were almost from City C.


    However, this secretary always lived in Italy.


    This time, he had specially asked the ne to pick up Maverick.


    He had worked for Maverick for many years, but he had never seen such an expression on his face.


    When he heard his boss talking on the phone, the secretary was already a little surprised. Maverick''s


    tone was gentle. He seemed to be another man the secretary did not know at all.


    And now, the big boss, who had always been an unsparing man, was holding his cell phone. It was


    unknown what he saw, and the smile on his face was very rare to see.


    The secretary was not sure if he could report the following content.


    Maverick looked at the WeChat and gentleness was written all over his face. If his friends who were


    familiar with him saw him like this, they would probably think that they might be hallucinating.


    However, the moment Maverick put away his phone, his handsome face became as cold as usual.


    He raised his hand and lightly tapped the armrest of the chair. He said in a deep voice, "Continue."


    ...


    On Everly''s side.


    After finishing the call, she did not stay there for long. She was not sure how many days Maverick


    would be on a business trip. Then she asked Candy to bring some clothes to change and drove away.


    Along the way, Everly focused on driving while Candy sat in the back seat of the car. She was very


    excited.


    Although it was a littlete, the little girl was not sleepy at all. She had talked to Everly about a lot of


    things and it could be seen that she was really happy.


    There were no problems along the way. When Everly was driving, she noticed that there had been a


    car following her. She guessed that it was the bodyguard arranged by Maverick.


    At such a tense moment, Everly didn''t care that someone was following her. It was all for the sake of


    her safety, after all.


    When they arrived at the Farley''s, Edmond was stretching out his neck and waiting for the little girl. As


    soon as he saw Candy get out of the car, Edmond ran over,pletely showing the wee of a big


    brother to his sister. The expression on his face was full of enthusiasm.


    In fact, sometimes Everly could not figure it out.


    Edmond was not a very enthusiastic child. Over the past few years, no matter where he was, he didn''t


    make any friends with his ssmates. It was understandable when he was abroad, but after he came


    back, he went to kindergarten and only got along well with Candy.


    ording to Everly''s original guess, she didn''t expect that the two children would be good friends.


    Candy was such a delicate and innocent little girl. How could Edmond like her so much?


    What was more, the little girl was also quite dependent on Edmond.


    They had only known each other for a month or two, but they were thick as thieves.


    Everly brought the two children back to the house. Gloria had juste downstairs and saw her


    daughter holding a child in each hand. At that moment, she stood at the corner of the stairs and


    seemed to be stunned.


    After the rtionship between Maverick and Everly was exposed, Gloria had specially checked it


    online.


    There was no information about Maverick''s daughter, no photos.


    It seemed that Maverick had protected the child well.


    That was why Gloria had never seen what this girl looked like.


    Gloria was really shocked when she suddenly saw Everly standing next to Candy, with Edmond on the


    other side.


    She didn''t know how to describe this picture.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    The three were like a real family.


    No, no, no! It should be said that this little girl was so simr to Everly when she was young.


    Others might not know, but it was impossible for Gloria not to know. The eyes of Candy and Everly


    were too simr.


    However, Everly had grown up and was somewhat different. As a mother, Gloria would never forget


    what her daughter looked like in her childhood.


    Shock was already not enough to describe Gloria''s feelings now.


    If it wasn''t because she felt that her thoughts were too terrifying, she would probably really think that


    this little girl was Everly''s child.


    But ... that was impossible.


    Could two people without ties of blood be such simr in the world?


    Gloria stared straight into Candy''s eyes. The feeling in her eyes was tooplicated.


    Although Candy was young, she was a smart girl. She didn''t have many social interactions in the first


    ce. And she would hold a birthday party in the near further. In the past, she would only spend her


    birthday alone with her father every year.


    This year was the most special because she was allowed to invite Edmond and Everly.


    She looked like a little princess who seemed to have everything, but it was not like that. And the


    missing part was something that money could not make up.


    She liked Edmond and Everly even more. Therefore, deep down, she really wanted to blend in with


    them. On the way here tonight, although the little girl talked a lot and was very excited, she was


    actually a little afraid.


    She was worried that Everly''s family would not like her.


    Was thatdy Edmond''s grandmother? Candy heard Edmond mentioned her once.


    Candy was a little scared when Gloria had been looking at her. Did Edmond''s grandmother not like


    her?


    Candy couldn''t help but bite her lips and subconsciously grabbed Everly''s hand.


    Everly also felt that Gloria''s gaze was a little strange. When she felt a tight grasp from her hand, she


    realized that the little girl seemed to be a little nervous and uneasy.


    Everly quickly said to Edmond, "Take Candy to your room to y. Mommy wille and find youter."


    Edmond nodded and took Candy upstairs.


    When Candy passed by Gloria, she was well-educated and bowed to Gloria as greeting, "Hi, Mrs.


    Farley. My name is Candy. Nice to meet you."


    The sweet voice made Gloriae back to her senses in an instant and quickly nodded. "Nice to meet


    you, Candy. What a pretty girl! Are you hungry? I will get you some food."


    The little girl shook her head. "Thank you, Mrs. Farley. But I''m hungry."


    "Okay! Edmond, take her upstairs to y for a while. The guest room will be ready in a while. Then she


    can take a shower and sleep."


    Edmond replied with an "Okay" and couldn''t wait to drag Candy into his room.


    Gloria was still looking at the door and she was in a daze.


    Everly felt that she was very strange and couldn''t help asking, "Mom, what happened to you? You


    looked at Candy like that just now, and your gaze was very scary."


    Gloria cleared her throat and frowned. "What? Do you feel sorry for another man''s child?"


    After thinking about it, she felt that these words were not good. Indeed, Everly''s expression was


    different.


    "That''s not what I meant..."


    But Everly said seriously, "Mom, don''t say that again. Don''t think that they are still young, but children


    nowadays are really sensitive. Candy is a very good little girl. I like her very much."

 Chapter 136 Dont You Think They Are Too Similar?

    Chapter 136 Don''t You Think They Are Too Simr?


    Gloria meant no harm.


    What she said just now was a slip of the tongue, and now she apologized, "That''s not what I meant. I


    just feel sorry for you."


    "Mom, what''s wrong with that? Don''t I have Edmond? Besides, you said that Candy is good. Don''t say


    that again."


    "Yes, she''s a good child. I won''t be mistaken," Gloria said, "but Everly, her mother...?"


    "I didn''t ask that."


    "Why didn''t you ask?"


    "Mom!"


    "Alright, alright, I won''t say it anymore." Gloria couldn''t help but mutter, "I mean, if you don''t suffer a


    loss, then no one will. But there are some things that you have to figure out sooner orter, right?"


    Everly sighed. "Mom, there are so many things to be dealt with now. Do you think I have the mood to


    worry about that? Besides, Maverick''s situation is special. As for Candy, I have not asked, but I


    probably know that she is not born in the normal way ... Anyway, you don''t have to say anything more.


    She is young. Let''s solve the current matters first."


    Gloria, on the other hand, was rmed when she heard that. "What do you mean by ''not the normal


    way''?"


    She used to be a staff of the hospital. Gloria heard the implication of her words. Her temple twitched.


    "You mean she was born another way like a test tube baby?"


    "Mom, keep your voice down!" Everly wanted to go and cover Gloria''s mouth. She lowered her voice


    and said, "Let''s not talk about this. I was just guessing."


    This was because Maverick had said that he did not have lovers.


    After they were together, they did not talk about this topic, but Everly felt something.


    For example, Maverick mentioned that his mother, Kailey, was not in good health and so on. He said


    that Candy was in Italy back then and she left recently and was brought to the country by him.


    However, it was not good for Candy to hear these words.


    Everly did not want to continue this topic.


    Gloria wanted to ask. If it was what she guessed, did it mean that her daughter and Maverick knew


    each other five years ago?


    But thinking about it again, she felt that it was impossible.


    Five years ago ... At that time, Everly was pregnant with Edmond, and it was unlikely that she would


    know Maverick.


    Gloria thought about it again and felt that she was thinking too much. The little girl might just be cute.


    She just loved her for no reason.


    She turned the page. Gloria was thinking in her heart, but she held back such outrageous words.


    On the other hand, when Parrish saw this little girl, he was somewhat surprised.


    That kind of gaze was exactly the same as when Gloria saw Candy.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    They were parents after all.


    Gloria saw her husband''s reaction and felt that she didn''t overreact.


    The couple could not help but secretly discuss it in private.


    Gloria asked, "Do you think so too?"


    Parrish had just taken his medicine. When he heard this, he nced at his wife. He saw Gloriae


    over with photos of Everly when she was young. She pointed at one of them.


    Her big round eyes were the same as Candy''s.


    How could there be such a coincidence in this world?


    Their eyes were too simr.


    "Look, don''t you think they are simr? Although Everly is not young, how could we mistake our child


    for another person? I was scared when I met Candy, but Everly did tell me that she didn''t know


    Maverick five years ago. I thought that maybe we were overthinking."


    Parrish pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, "We didn''t. Such an incredible thing


    could only be exined by fate."


    He sighed, "Candy looks like our daughter. Do you think that Maverick is with Everly because of this?"


    Gloria shook her head. "He doesn''t know what Everly looked like when she was a child. Her face has


    changed. It should be that we are thinking too much. You should rest now. Your emotions have been


    fluctuating too much in the past few days. Tomorrow, you have to go see the doctor for your heart."


    Parrish didn''t say anything more. He was a little tired and fell asleep after lying down.


    However, Gloria was more sensitive. Although Gloria said that, she felt that she was being pressed


    down by a huge rock. She tossed and turned, but she was unable to convince herself.


    She even dreamed about Everly when she was a child.


    Then that image ovepped with Candy''s face. What was even more terrifying was that Gloria


    dreamed that Candy called Everly Mama.


    ...


    Everly also dreamed.


    It was the dream five years ago again.


    After establishing the rtionship with Maverick, although it was not a long time, she seldom had this


    dream now that she had made up her mind.


    Once again, she was in a dream with the same beginning as before, but for some reason, there were a


    lot more "plots".


    That blurry face had be the face of Maverick.


    He kept thrusting on her body. The smell of salt seemed to coincide with a piece of her memories. After


    they matched, the scene in the dream suddenly changed.


    She didn''t know if it was because of what happened recently.


    She seemed to have returned to college.


    Many of the scenes seemed to have been forgotten. Now, in this dream, they began to be clear


    again.


    In her fourth year, everyone was busy looking for an internship.


    But it was not the case for Everly. The Farley family was quite well-off. When Everly was in her fourth


    year, she liked to draw. At that time, she wanted to be a painter.


    But drawing would cost a lot of money, so Everly had been looking for an opportunity.


    Later, she found out that Lamont Group had just promoted a project, and there was an exhibition that


    was specifically targeted at college students.


    After Everly learned about it, she went to inquire about the situation.


    At that time, the Lamont Group had nothing to do with Maverick.


    Maverick was rarely in the country at that time.


    Everly did not care at all back then. What she needed to see was the person in charge of the project.


    She heard that he would appear at a ball.


    ...


    Was this the truth?


    Everly suddenly opened her eyes. The scene seemed to have been frozen in an instant.


    Her breath was a bit unstable. The invitation to the ball was given to her by Lucas. But at that time, the


    ball did not seem to have much to do with Sarah. If everything wasbined, she could tell that Sarah


    had known Maverick long ago.


    Everly propped her hands up and sat up, wondering if she had met Maverick five years ago.


    Had she forgotten about it?

 Chapter 137 Candy Is Sweet

    Chapter 137 Candy Is Sweet


    Reaching out, she rubbed her temples that were aching. Someone knocked on the door, and Everly


    calmed herself down.


    Some things had been buried for too long, and it was not easy to recall them. When she thought about


    it, it seemed like she had always neglected something.


    She shook her head, put on her coat, and ran to open the door.


    It was Hendrix.


    He was in a hurry. He probably just came over. His ck hair was neatlybed. It seemed that he


    would have to go to thepany in a while.


    Everly felt a little guilty. "Hendrix, have you been busy recently because of me?"


    Hendrix smiled and rubbed her hair. "What are you thinking about?"


    "It''s my problem, and I''m thinking of a way to solve it."


    "What ways do youe up with?"


    Everly let Hendrix in and the two sat on the sofa. Everly thought about it and told Hendrix about what


    she had dreamed of.


    "So, you think what Sarah talked about in the live video is the thing you remembered?"


    Everly nodded, "I didn''t go to that ball that year. At that time, the invitation was indeed given to me by


    Lucas. I don''t know if you remember it. At that time, I didn''t go because it seemed that you were in a


    fight, and you were even taken to the police station. That day, I went to find you, so I didn''t go to that


    ball. I don''t know why, but Sarah seems to think that I robbed the opportunity that belonged to her."


    Hendrix could not remember such a thing.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    In the past, he often fought with people, and he had been taken into the police station a lot.


    "What''s your idea?" Hendrix picked the main point and asked, "Maverick did use some means to


    remove all the content, but the situation is not very good. I have contacted him. He has something to do


    in Italy and must go there. He said that you have your ns."


    "Yes," Everly said, "Hendrix, don''t worry about it. Candy and Edmond will be here soon. Find more


    people to watch over them. I have to go out in the afternoon."


    "Where are you going?"


    Everly didn''t say anything. She just said that she wanted to see a friend.


    When she went out, she specially told Edmond to take good care of Candy at home. Now, Edmond


    was like an elder brother in front of Candy.


    To Everly''s surprise, Parrish and Gloria were fond of Candy and took good care of her.


    Candy was very sweet, so she called them grandfather and grandmother along with Edmond.


    Everly was in a trance and felt that they were a family.


    "Are you leaving?" Everly changed her shoes at the entrance. Candy ran over with a thermos in her


    hand and handed it to Everly. "Take this. Dad said that you should drink more water. I will be at home


    waiting for you toe back."


    Everly could not help butugh. "Have you contacted your father?"


    "He contacted me this morning." She took out her phone from her pocket. Maverick gave it to her. She


    continued, "Dad called me and told me to be good. Am I good?"


    "Excellent."


    "Then, remember to tell Daddy that."


    "You are the cutest girl. Will you feel bored at home?"


    "No, I like your home."


    The little girl was sweet. Before Everly left, she kissed Candy. She was very happy and ran back to


    Edmond.


    She held the thermos that Candy had given her. It was very heavy. It was probably filled with hot water.


    How considerate of her.


    When she went out, Everly first called Beth and then contacted Sarah.


    She got Beth''s number with hacking.


    Sarah probably refused to pick it up because it was an unfamiliar number. Everly kept calling, and


    Sarah finally answered.


    Perhaps, the livestreaming had made her mad. The moment she picked up, she spoke harshly. She


    thought it was a sales call, "I''ve said everything I have to say. Don''t keep looking for me. Otherwise, I


    will call the police!"


    Everly sneered, "Aren''t you the one who did the livestreaming? From your tone, it seems that the gains


    cannot make up for the losses."


    Sarah was stunned.


    Everly didn''t give her time to guess and directly said her name, "I''m Everly. Sarah, I have something to


    tell you."


    Sarah asked, "How can you get my number?"


    "I have a way. Do you want me to go to your house to find you, or do you want toe out to meet


    me?"


    Everly paused for a moment before continuing, "It may be inconvenient for you to go out now. How


    about I go to your ce?"


    Sarah calmed down, "Everly, how can you have the face to see me? You scheming bitch, did you say


    something to Lucas? Haven''t you hurt me enough? You are the most hypocritical person I have ever


    seen."


    "I don''t know what happened back then. I''ve thought about what you said on the livestreaming. I think


    there is a misunderstanding." Everly turned the steering wheel and said, "But Sarah, it was a fact that


    you slept with my boyfriend back then. In fact, when our conversation reaches this point, I can


    announce to the public that the person in the livestreaming was you. Back then, you slept with my


    boyfriend Lucas. That was why I went abroad. Who do you think is the hurt one? I can openly


    announce everything with the recording. How do you think the public will see you?"


    Sarah''s voice became nervous. "Are you recording?"


    She seemed to want to hang up.


    Everly smiled and said, "It''s toote for I have recorded everything. If you hang up now, it will make you


    look guilty."


    "Everly, you are despicable!"


    "At most, I am a real viin. You are just a hypocrite. Didn''t you want to y with a game me? I don''t


    mind it. As for attacking my family, shall I expose your family background? Your mother..."


    "Shut up, Everly!"


    Sarah''s emotions were a little out of control. Everly''s heart sank slightly. She didn''t want to say this.


    But there was no other way. If she didn''t provoke Sarah now, she could do nothing else.


    "I just want to tell you that you are not the only capable one. Everyone has a dark side. I am not a good


    person, so don''t push me. Back then, you threatened me and sent me a photo of you sleeping with


    Lucas. I kept it as well as your text messages. Do you think I will make these things public?"


    Sarah''s voice was trembling. "Where are you? I''ll go see you!"


    She was probably reluctant and gritted her teeth. "It''s useless for you to keep an eye on me. Everly,


    everyone has his karma. Even if you bite me back, you will be killed."

 Chapter 138 It Was You Who Snatched the Chance That Belonged to Me

    Chapter 138 It Was You Who Snatched the Chance That Belonged to Me


    Everly did not reply and hung up.


    She had recorded everything that Sarah had said.


    However, how could she keep the things that Sarah used to demonstrate to her back then?


    At that time, she wasn''t thoughtful. She just thought that she was unlucky. She didn''t keep any


    evidence for future use. She was only bluffing.


    Sarah should be a little afraid, which was why she was in a panic.


    Anyway, she must continue ording to her original n.


    After meeting Beth...


    Beth first gave Everly a miniature recording device and ced it in her underwear. She reminded her,


    "Get to the point when talking with her. But from what you said just now, I think there must be someone


    behind Sarah. Maybe it''s the Kahl sisters. You don''t need to be too radical. Anyway, we will get the


    evidence first and then prove that we are innocent. I have investigated the Kahl family. Lawrence also


    said that it is not that simple. Your Maverick must have been dealing with the Kahl family and the Rice


    family recently. What we need to do is not offend them for now."


    Her Maverick?


    When Everly heard this, she felt a little embarrassed and could not help but pout, "What are you talking


    about? Don''t be rude."


    "Are you shy?"


    "I am not."


    "Hey, look at you." After Beth helped her set the recording device, she smiled and said to Everly,


    "Maverick is quite capable. He makes you meek. To be honest, your current state is what you should


    be like when you are in love. You even know to fight back against Sarah. It''s good. Let''s settle the


    scores with her together."


    Everly didn''t know if she was in love.


    Butpared to before, she seemed to be more courageous.


    It wasn''t a feeling of being fearless, it was just that she felt that no matter what she had done, there


    would be no consequences. In any case, Maverick was backing her up.


    When one had nothing, he would be fearless.


    But in fact, when one''s heart was filled with love, he could be fearless as well.


    By the time Everly and Sarah met, it was two hourster.


    They made an appointment to meet in a rtively hidden coffee shop, and they chose a private room.


    Everly was fully "armed" when she went out. Sarah covered her better than her. After all, her face was


    pixted during the livestreaming, but she could tell that she didn''t live a good life. She wore a hat and


    sunsses when she arrived.


    After sitting down, Everly realized thatpared to Sarah, herplexion was much better.


    Sarah seemed to have not rested well for a few days. She was haggard, and even her heavy makeup


    could not cover that.


    However, the way she looked at Everly was hostile.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Everly first took out her phone and ced it on the table. At this time, she looked calm. "I came to you


    today to rify some things. I know that you are the one in the livestreaming."


    Sarah became smarter. She nced at the phone on the table and sneered, "Everly, do you think I will


    fall for the same trap twice? You put your phone on the table to tell me that you are not recording?"


    "Otherwise? Do you want to pat down?" Everly was confident. "You should know that it doesn''t matter if


    I am recording because I have all the evidence I need. I just need to release what you have done like


    what I just told you on the phone. Isn''t it enough? Now, in this kind of special situation, anyone will be


    hunted down byizens once something negative about that guy is released."


    Sarah''s expression changed.


    "Sarah, do you know why I haven''t made any moves up until now?" Everly continued.


    "Are you trying to intimidate me?"


    "No, I just hope that there are some things that you can understand. It will be good to both of us."


    "You just want to pretend to be innocent in front of me. In fact, you know that what I said in the


    livestreaming is true. You are doing this because you want to erase your guilt! Everly, you can''t y


    dumb anymore."


    Everly looked at her in amusement. "Why do I have to? I didn''t do anything to let anyone down. It''s just


    your self-ttery."


    "My self-ttery? Everly, you are the most hypocritical person I have ever seen."


    "Is that so? I''d like to know how."


    "What I said is true, and you don''t admit it. How can you be so confident? Back then, didn''t you snatch


    the opportunity that belonged to me? If I went to the ball that day, I wouldn''t have been..."


    Sarah was a little agitated, but when she said this, she suddenly stopped.


    Her eyes were red, and she was gritting her teeth, but she couldn''t continue.


    Everly was disgusted with what she had done.


    However, it could be seen that something must have happened to Sarah back then. Though Everly did


    not feel that things that happened to Sarah were linked to her, she was unsure.


    Sarah was stubborn, so for so many years, she had always believed that it was Everly''s fault.


    She didn''t want to keep this problem any longer and only wanted to solve it as soon as possible.


    "Go ahead."


    In order to end it quickly, Everly cut to the chase, "In fact, you know it in your heart that no matter what


    happened to you back then, it has nothing to do with me. You just feel ufortable, that''s all. You


    always felt that it was my fault and shifted all the me on me. You slept with my boyfriend. Do you


    think you made no mistakes?"


    "Everly! Shut up!" Sarah lost control and growled, "If it weren''t for you, I wouldn''t have beenid. All of


    this is because of you! Do you think you treat me like a true friend? No, you always stand by my side to


    show your sympathetic superiority. I slept with your boyfriend? What a joke. Do you think it''s a woman''s


    fault that a man will have physical reactions when he sleeps with her? Lucas himself is not a sucker!"


    Everly''s eyes shed, and she happened to see a maning.


    She put her hand under the table and gently put away her phone.


    She had just shared her location.


    Now, her expression was calm. "I don''t know what happened to you, but you indeed slept with Lucas to


    take revenge on me!"

 Chapter 139 Her Eyes Are Smashed and Bleeding

    Chapter 139 Her Eyes Are Smashed and Bleeding


    This position was rtively hidden.


    There weren''t many people around, so Lucas heard every word that Everly said.


    His expression changed. And stopped walking.


    No one would like to be used.


    Sarah didn''t know that Lucas was standing not far away, but she was in the mood so she continued.


    "Yes, or why would I like a man like Lucas? He''s just a loser. He wanted to sleep with me, but he didn''t


    have the gut to bring it up. I didn''t need to seduce him. At long as I looked at him, he would pounce on


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    me like a hungry wolf. But that''s disgusting. If it wasn''t for revenge, how could I have given myself to a


    man like that? Everly, I never told you but your taste is awful. Lucas is trash, yet you treated him like a


    treasure."


    "Speaking of which, you should thank me. If I didn''t do that back then, you should be married to Lucas


    now, right? That good-for-nothing!"


    Everly didn''t look at Lucas, but one could imagine how ugly his expression would be.


    The goal was achieved.


    However, when Everly saw how excited Sarah was, she wanted to make it clear.


    "Back then, I liked drawing. You should know about it too. I have forgotten about things that happened


    back then because I had a clear conscience. When I saw the live broadcast, I remembered that there


    was such a thing. Back then, I didn''t know that you valued a ticket to a ball so much. I always felt that


    there was no need to say more about our friendship. I knew that you always needed something. I


    couldn''t give it to you, and sometimes I couldn''t agree with it. But I didn''t refute you. There was nothing


    we can''t talk about. But you slept with your best friend''s boyfriend. I won''t thank you for letting me


    recognize something, because I used to treat you as a friend. And now, everything should have


    returned to its original ce."


    She stood up and looked at Lucas.


    Lucas had aplicated expression.


    Everly suddenly felt sorry for him.


    Was he really in love with Sarah back then? Or was it just that he couldn''t deal with the loneliness?


    However, no one would stand being humiliated.


    "Sarah, that was not what you said when you seduced me back then." Lucas was not a gentleman.


    Now he was even more speechless. He couldn''t stand the fact that he had been used, fooled.


    "You''ve been using me all the time. You are incorrigible. I did get Everly''s entrance ticket for her back


    then. At that time, Lamont Group will invest in an art exhibition. A few famous masters will attend.


    Everly said that she wanted to get to know them. Do you think that she stole your chance? What


    chance did you lose? The chance to climb into a man''s bed?"


    Sarah didn''t expect Lucas to appear.


    They had not seen each other for many years.


    Sarah felt confused when she saw Lucas.


    Lucas only felt disgusted.


    "Lucas, you ... how did you..."


    "It''s all your fault!" Sarah snapped back to reality and red at Everly.


    "I just want to let the truthe to light. Who would want to be scolded like that? You schemed against


    me like that, I was just retaliating."


    Sarah was furious. "Retaliating? What can you get from that? The people who want to deal with you


    are the Kahls. Hendrix is now doing business well, but can he deal with the people of the Kahl family?


    I''m not afraid to tell you that no matter how you retaliate this time, it will be useless. If Miss Kahl wants


    to ruin your reputation, you will definitely not have a good time."


    As expected.


    Everly got all the information she needed.


    She didn''t care about the truth about the ticket.


    It was just because Sarah was too narrow-minded. She wanted the ticket as it was important for her.


    After all, they were just college students by then. However, Lucas gave the ticket to Everly. So Sarah


    hated Everly.


    Everly would not take pity on Sarah.


    She was about to leave.


    However, Sarah was obviously provoked. She stood up abruptly, picked up the cup in front of her, and


    threw it at Everly.


    She was fast. Everly didn''t expect it and was hit at the corner of her eye.


    She felt her temples buzzing, and the corners of her eyes were hot.


    Recently, cups probably had something against her.


    Previously, it was Parrish who was careless. But now it was Sarah who did it on purpose.


    She felt like her eyes were gonna break.


    Everly couldn''t react in time. Lucas was standing on the side. He saw Everly''s eyes swelling up at a


    speed visible to the naked eye. She even bled.


    He was stunned.


    It was probably because of the indifference and selfishness of human nature, he felt that he had no


    responsibility to protect her now. Moreover, she did not like him.


    To put it bluntly, no one was stupid. Today, Everly asked him toe over. She had given him Sarah''s


    contact information before. She just wanted to provoke a little conflict between them. So she would


    benefit from it.


    Thinking about this, Lucas was even angrier.


    After a cold nce, he turned and left.


    He didn''t want to get involved in this anymore.


    Sarah was not a good person, to begin with.


    ...


    Sarah, who was not a good person, was just impulsive just now.


    In fact, how should she put it? Sarah knew that she had made a mistake and she must take legal


    responsibility. She couldn''t stand any "bumps" now.


    So when she saw Everly covering her eyes and her body trembling in pain, she was also shocked.


    However, the first thing Sarah did was grab her bag and run away.


    Everly''s eyes were filled with warmth. She knew that it was bleeding, and it was extremely painful.


    She couldn''t open her eyes. Her other eye seemed to be burning with pain too.


    She wanted to make a phone call, but she couldn''t find her phone.


    Fortunately, noticing the chaos, a waiter immediately ran over.


    And the waiter called the ambnce.


    At the same time, Everly spoke with difficulty, "Help me find my phone, thank you..."


    The waiter was obviously frightened. Everly was bleeding more and more. Her fingers were all red.


    "Miss, are you okay? I called an ambnce for you. Your eyes ... Are you in pain? There''s so much


    blood. Oh my god, I have a phobia of blood. I''m dizzy..."


    Everly''s vision was blurry. And her uninjured eyes seemed as if they could not be opened.


    She could only repeatedly emphasize, "Help me get my phone."

 Chapter 140 She Said She Will Miss Him, but She Never Called or Text!

    Chapter 140 She Said She Will Miss Him, but She Never Called or Text!


    In Italy.


    Maverick first went to Sicily and after seeing Kailey, he went directly to his headquarters.


    The reason he came this time was mainly because of what happened in the country, which affected


    several projects in Italy.


    It was normal for business.


    The Kahls and the Rices were not ordinary people.


    Den had been brooding over Maverick since LAL. This time, hebined with the Kahl family, so he


    could not be underestimated.


    The travel-worn Maverick, after arriving at thepany, immediately started a meeting to deal with the


    situation.


    After all, not all of the higher-ups in Italy were Chinese.


    There were quite a lot of local Italian.


    However, Maverick required that they had tomunicate in English the entire time.


    As a senior in hispany, mastering English was just a basic requirement.


    The meetingsted for a long time. Maverick wasn''t satisfied with the ns handed to him. After all,


    they were made in a rush.


    The whole meeting room felt ice-cold because of Maverick''s satisfaction.


    Those high-level executives were even more trembling in fear, afraid that they would say something


    wrong.


    Maverick was a legend in the western business field.


    Finally, after the third n was overturned by Maverick, the entire office was dead silent.


    The man in a ck shirt had a quiet expression on his face, and his brows were filled with the kind of


    ruthlessness that he was enduring.


    He was impatient because the people sitting below were all useless.


    Alex Ben had been working on the overseas market since his early years. Den was a littleter, so


    his development would definitely not be as good as Alex''s. However, all these years, they had been


    focusing on the financial market overseas.


    But Maverick was different. He was born in the business circle overseas.


    In her early years, Kailey was good-looking and had the traditional beauty of oriental women, which


    made several men from the most prestigious family in Italy fall for her.


    Although Maverick was not willing to mention these things, he had to admit that his starting point was


    never very glorious.


    Without Kailey''s sacrifice back then, he would not be able to be who he was today.


    Sess was indeed inseparable from the person himself.


    However, the height of the starting point allowed people to walk a lot less.


    Right now, the family had already dispersed a lot of forces. It was different from before. Maverick had


    been in business for many years and had already monopolized most of the financial industry here a


    long time ago.


    Later, because he had to return to the country, the focus here was slightly off.


    The Kahl family and the Rice family took the advantage to seize it over.


    They were almost everywhere. They secretly intervened in many of the businesses that Maverick had


    handled before.


    This time, after knowing what happened in China, Alex and Den were very clear about what they


    should do. They would attack Maverick.


    Alex had already been secretly stirring up trouble a few years ago. He could not swallow the overseas


    market in one go. But they had long disliked Lamont Group in City C, which had been pressing down


    on them for the past two years.


    In fact, this kind of situation was a matter of time.


    This time, Maverick had toe to Italy in person.


    However, none of these people seemed to be able toe up with a reasonable n. Maverick had


    already spent two days and he was still paying attention to the domestic Inte situation.


    He wanted to return because there were people in the country that he cared about.


    At present, the news was removed. But there were still a lot of online trolls guiding the direction of the


    topic under many unimportant posts.


    Moreover, Maverick forcibly concealed the content. It was easy to invite all kinds of bad remarks.


    In the past two days, Jayden had been reporting all sorts of situations to him in real-time.


    As of yesterday, other than the uncontroble trolls and theizens who were really "angry", there


    were not many other problems.


    But Maverick knew that it was impossible for Everly to just watch and wait.


    He didn''t want to interfere with her. But of course, he would be worried about her. So he was constantly


    watching domestic news and gossip. No matter what she did, he had to back her up.


    The meeting had been held for three hours in a row. People were tired because of Maverick''s


    dissatisfaction.


    Maverick himself was a little absent-minded.


    For some reason, the space between his brows asionally twitch a few times, as if telling himself that


    something was about to happen.


    "Rest for 30 minutes." Maverick opened his mouth. The secretary who followed him sat on the side and


    seemed to be relieved as well.


    The people below all wanted to escape.


    Maverick added, "This afternoon, I want to see a report that satisfies me. Otherwise, you all will be


    fired."


    The group of people did not dare to have anyints. This time, let alone rest, everyone put down


    the information and continued to work.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Maverick pinched the bridge of his nose that was faintly aching. Then he got up and left the conference


    room.


    His phone rang. He thought it was Everly.


    In fact, he had been flying in the air for the past two days and did not take the initiative to contact her.


    She told him that she would miss him. However, she didn''t call or text.


    Maverick felt a little depressed. He stood at the end of the corridor and took out a cigarette from his


    pocket. He lit it and breathed in and out the clouds. After a while, he still couldn''t hold back.


    He took out his phone and dialed the number.


    In fact, just as he was about to make a phone call, he received one.


    He happened to press the answer button.


    Maverick slightly frowned, nced at the iing number, but still put it in his ear.


    A woman''s voice called out to him softly, "Maverick, you''re back in Italy?"


    "I came back for something."


    "Why didn''t you tell me anything?"


    The woman''s voice sounded a little dissatisfied, but it was obviously a little coquettish. "You didn''t tell


    me when you came back before. I have been in Sicily all this time, and I haven''t seen aunt. There were


    a lot of problems with the Kamo family, so I didn''t visit them either."


    Maverick said, "I''m back because of work. I didn''t know you were in Italy."


    "Are you at thepany now?"


    "Yes."


    "Alright, let''s have a meal together tonight?"


    Maverick pondered for a moment. The woman on the other side was indeed a little unhappy, "What''s


    wrong? Can''t we even eat together? If I didn''t ask someone to stop the news. Do you think that Pira


    won''t know you are back?"


    Maverick let out a shortugh, "You''re thinking too much. I just didn''t want to waste your precious time.


    But if it''s convenient for you, it''s fine. I''ll make the arrangements."


    "Alright, see you at 7 o''clock," the woman said happily.

 Chapter 141 To Leave a Scar

    Chapter 141 To Leave a Scar


    Maverick hung up the phone. His expression did not change much.


    He finished the cigarette between his fingers and took another look at his phone. It was dark and there


    was no news.


    He dusted the cigarette ash and threw the butt into the trash can.


    Then, he chuckled and said with a hint of doting, "You little heartless one."


    However, he epted his fate and took the initiative to dial the number.


    However, to his surprise, as he called, it showed that her phone was turned off.


    He already had a feeling of uneasiness. At first, he only thought that he was too worried. Now his


    eyebrows twitched. It was definitely not a coincidence.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    He called twice in a row, but it''s always turned off.


    He finally managed to contact Jayden.


    But Jayden did not know why he could not contact Miss Everly either.


    He was now very clear about the importance of Miss Everly to Maverick. He did not dare to dy, so


    he hung up the phone and immediately went to seek help.


    Maverick contacted Hendrix then.


    He called two or three times in a row before his future brother-inw picked up the phone. Maverick


    with his sharp insight, clearly sensed that something had happened.


    "What happened to Everly?"


    During this period of time, Hendrix also felt pressured because of their matter. But he could not vent his


    anger in front of Everly, yet this did not mean that he really had noints in his heart.


    But now, his precious little sister was directly smashed in the eye.


    The moment Parrish knew it, he directly fainted from anger.


    Even with good health, Gloria was also frightened to have her expression changed.


    Parrish''s heart condition was not good and he had just had a bridge surgery recently. During this period


    of time, all these events made him receive many notifications from the hospital, reminding him that he


    must not be too excited.


    This time, he directly fainted.


    He was still unclear about the wound at the corner of Everly''s eyes, but his heart really couldn''t bear


    the bumps that kept oning.


    These things could not all be med to Maverick. But everyone knew that it was rted to him.


    Parrish was already unsatisfied with Maverick, with this incident, he could no longer be nice to him.


    Hendrix roughly exined the situation.


    When Maverick heard that Sarah smash Everly''s eyes with a cup, he only felt that his heart was also


    smashed. He subconsciously tightened his phone, his eyes full of anxiety and violence. In the end, he


    still knew that he couldn''t instantly teleport and fly to her side.


    He endured it again and again. When he hung up the phone, he almost smashed his phone away.


    The result was obvious. Maverick immediately asked his secretary to prepare a helicopter and the


    meeting here was directly dyed.


    This gave the employees who had no idea what to do a glimmer of hope.


    Although they didn''t know what the big boss was doing, so that he dyed such an important meeting


    that already halfway through. But no matter what, it was good. It had bought them so much time, and


    they were already grateful for it in their hearts.


    ...


    Maverick returned to City C directly.


    After boarding the ne, he contacted Jayden and asked him to find Sarah no matter what method he


    used and control her.


    Then he asked about the situation at that time and learned that Everly has got the evidence.


    Jayden asked him, "Mr. Maverick, as for the thing, it should be in Mr. Hendrix''s hands now. I don''t know


    what Mr. Hendrix is nning to do. I know that they had a recording, but I did listen to it thoroughly. Yet


    I knew that Sarah has confirmed something. But Miss. Everly has considered only one of condition but


    not something more important."


    "Many of the recordings can be forged now. In fact, even in court, as evidence, it is not necessarily


    useful. Therefore, what Miss Everly considered should be just blocking the public. However, if the


    recording is released now, as long as there is someone minding it, they will continue to hold on to this


    matter. Miss Everly may not be able to get awaypletely. As far as I know, the second young master


    of the Bevell family also went there. Therefore, we can ask the second young master for the specific


    details."


    Lucas was also here?


    However, Maverick soon thought of the rtionship between the three of them.


    He thought it isn''t strange at all for him to be there.


    "Let''s talk about it when I get back. Find that woman Sarah first. Moreover, this matter must be rted


    to the Kahl family. If the people over there know about the recording, they will definitely make a move.


    You do this first. I still need some time to get there."


    Jayden epted the order.


    Maverick hung up the phone, still feeling uneasy.


    Everly''s phone was also not connected. He originally wanted to contact Candy, but he thought that


    maybe the child still did not know anything. In the end, he was so anxious that he returned to City C.


    ...


    Everly''s phone was not turned off by herself.


    When everything had happened in the coffee shop, her first thought at that time was to call Maverick.


    He knew that even if he had told him at the first moment, he would not have flown to her side.


    But after something like that happened, she was in pain, she was flustered, and the first thing she


    thought of was still that man.


    However, before she could find the phone, her eyes were blurred by blood.


    Later, she was sent directly to the hospital. Then, because her phone was out of battery, it


    automatically turned off.


    In fact, she was injured in the eyes.


    At that time, it was so painful that it was difficult to bear, and after going to the hospital for certain


    treatment, she had be a one-eyed dragon.


    The doctor said that it almost hurt the retina. Although it was a fluke, there was a certain side effect.


    Later, this eye might be a bit more blurred.


    Moreover, the corners of her eyes were most likely going to leave a scar.


    Everly was most satisfied with her eyes since she was a child.


    Her facial features were a very standard. Whenbined together, it would not be particrly stunning


    at first nce, but the more you looked at her, the morefortable you would feel she is.


    Especially that pair of eyes, which had a ratio of eight to nine points of beauty.


    There was no one who didn''t like beauty.


    Everly also paid attention to this. This time, the doctor told her this after the examination. She was in a


    very low mood.


    This was simply a disaster. Recently, things were really not going well. It was impossible for her to be in


    a good mood. And most importantly, she had always been very guilty. Because of her own problem, her


    family was implicated by theizens. Now, because of her, Parrish also fainted.


    The courage that she had gathered with great difficulty seemed to be mocking her ignorance.


    She didn''t know what to do.


    Those feelings of guilt and helplessness, as well as the negative emotions brought about by the injury


    in her eyes, made her want to calm down and think about it alone. Was she really wrong?


    There was no information about Parrish. After he fainted, he was sent directly to the hospital, the same


    one with Everly.


    It had already been four to five hours since they began the operation. There were still two children at


    home, so they temporarily hid it from them and did not let them know.


    Although Gloria did not say anything, she was obviously unhappy.


    Everly gave the content of her recording to Hendrix, and now there were still negativements about


    her outside. They were in the hospital, and Hendrix was trying his best to stop the spread of the news.


    Everly was very exhausted.

 Chapter 142 Mavericks Heart Aches

    Chapter 142 Maverick''s Heart Aches


    When Hendrix saw that Everly''s eye was like that, his heart ached.


    The Farleys were in the hospital the whole day.


    Parrish was still in surgery. Hendrix took advantage of Gloria''s absence to remind Everly. "Don''t pull a


    long face. You should have told me before you went to see Sarah. How dare you go and meet her?"


    Everly was speechless for a while before whispering, "I didn''t want to go. In fact ... I know it''s been a


    hard time for you. Should I bother you with such trifles? And I was kind of prepared to meet Sarah, but I


    didn''t think this was going to happen. I''m sorry."


    "Don''t say sorry." Hendrix frowned. "I am your brother. I''m supposed to take care of anything you need.


    But that doesn''t make any sense right now. It''s just the way it is. I just hope you won''t get stressed out."


    Everly didn''t reply.


    Hendrix paused and asked, "What do you want to do about the recording? I can do it just like you do."


    Everly said, "These are not fakes. Just publish them. I don''t want to go on like this. But..."


    "But what?"


    "It did mention the Kahls. Hendrix, I''ve thought about it. If the recording is released, the Kahls will be


    get involved. I thought you told me that Maverick and the Kahls were fighting like cats and dogs


    privately. Do you think it''s appropriate?"


    Hendrix sneered. "What does that matter? Are you too scared to admit it? The most important thing


    now is to keep Sarah, the go-to person, under control, or Alex, the old fox, will fight back."


    Hendrix paused, frowned, and muttered to himself, "It''s quite strange. I know Maverick''s been


    suppressing the press, and I''ve been trying to get some popr stars to make headlines, but it just


    doesn''t work. Alex and Den''s focus is on attacking Maverick''s overseas market. I did some digging.


    It turns out they left the country a few days earlier, and that there''s no way they could have managed


    this well back home. That''s why I always feel like there''s someone behind it.


    "Is there anyone else?" Everly asked with horror.


    "It can''t be the Croke family." Several big families were fighting each other, but the Croke family stayed


    out of the way and just didn''t want to get involved. "I can be sure of that. I don''t know who he is. He''s


    hiding it pretty well."


    "Does hee after me?"


    "I don''t think so. I think he''sing after Maverick."


    When it came to Maverick, Hendrix paused for a moment before saying, "Maverick should be back by


    now. He''ll be here in a little while."


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat. She remembered that she tried to get in touch with Maverick when the


    ident happened, but failed to do so.


    Of course, it was not Maverick''s fault. Everly was just afraid that he would be distracted.


    Besides, that was where Everly was at. So she didn''t want to see Maverick right now.


    "Did you tell Maverick?" Everly asked as she stood up.


    When Hendrix saw how concerned she was, he couldn''t help but tease, "Do you think you can hide it?


    Maverick is influential. He''s been watching you. He will find out sooner orter even if I don''t tell him."


    Everly reached out and touched her eye, which was wrapped in gauze. She must be ugly now.


    Everly thought for a moment before walking towards her ward. "Let me know when Dad gets better. I


    have a headache. I''m going to take a rest."


    "Alright. It''s not good for you to keep your eyes open for a long time. Don''t worry about the children at


    home. I have them taken care of and they''ll be all right," Hendrix said.


    "But..."


    "What?"


    "If memory serves, it seems like Maverick''s daughter''s birthday ising. I happened to meet Zane


    two days ago. By the way, do you know Zane?"


    "Yes." Everly nodded.


    "He said he wanted to hold a birthday party for Candy at the Lamont''s and announce her identity. Do


    you know that?"


    "I don''t know." Everly shook her head.


    "Zane still insists on sire bond at the very juncture. I wonder if Maverick knows about this."


    Everly thought for a moment and said, "Maverick probably doesn''t know yet. He just told me to


    celebrate Candy''s birthday without mentioning the Lamont''s."


    Hendrix didn''t say anything else. He had a few thoughts but could not say much now.


    Zane kept such a low profile for two years that everyone seemed to focus on Maverick and forget about


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    him.


    However, Zane must be up to something when he was behaving unusually.


    Hendrix reached out and touched his chin, muttering to himself...


    He bothered about the Lamont family because of Everly.


    ...


    Maverick got off the ne and went straight to the hospital.


    Jayden picked Maverick up personally and told Maverick what he investigated on the way. Of course,


    he also told Maverick that Sarah was currently in her apartment and that he had her watched.


    "What about Lucas?"


    Jayden said, "Mr. Lucas was the one who left first. I can''t get in touch with him, so I''m going to contact


    Mr. Lawrence."


    Maverick was tired from his journey.


    Maverick reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose that was faintly hurting, whispering, "I''ll call


    Lawrence. Is Hendrix in the hospital? How is Parrish now?"


    "I asked the attending doctor. Mr. Parrish had bypass surgery before, and because of the irritation, his


    condition''s a little difficult. All the Farleys are in the hospital."


    "What about the children?"


    "They are at the Farley''s. Mr. Hendrix has them taken care of while I have them watched secretly."


    "What about the press?"


    "There''s not much in the press right now. The Kahls and the Rices seem to be no longer controlling the


    tide of opinion. But there''s a certain amount of attention. And Mr. Hendrix has the recording."


    Maverick said, "I will discuss the recording with Hendrix. I need you to get all the press on standby."


    "Yes."


    It had been half an hour before Maverick arrived at the hospital.


    It was the afternoon.


    Maverick didn''t even have time to change his clothes. He knew which ward Everly was in. After arriving


    at the hospital, Maverick rushed straight to Everly''s room.


    Maverick didn''t ask how Everly was doing so far. He had been very worried.


    He knew Everly''s life would not be in danger.


    But all the while he was anxious.


    The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Everly was thirsty, sat on the bed, and poured herself


    some water.


    Her eye was injured and she was not used to the narrow views. When Everly poured the water, her


    hands trembled.


    The door was suddenly opened.

 Chapter 143 He Comforts Her

    Chapter 143 He Comforts Her


    Although it was not very loud, Everly was startled.


    Everly choked on the water she just swallowed and began to cough.


    Everly couldn''t see out of one of her eyes now. She looked towards the doorway unconsciously but she


    missed it. In any case, she was not used to seeing with one eye.


    The figure seemed to grow clearer in Everly''s eyes.


    In just a few seconds, Everly saw the man''s face clearly. All the emotions she had been storing up for


    the past two days seemed about to burst out at once.


    Everly didn''t feel aggrieved before, but now she felt indescribably bitter and felt like crying. She didn''t


    know tears coulde up so fast.


    The doctor told Everly clearly that she was not allowed to shed tears.


    But Everly couldn''t help it.


    Her vision went from clear to blurry.


    Everly bit her lip, and even bowed her head before she could reach out to wipe away her tears, which


    fell on the back of her hand.


    Everly swallowed and couldn''t exin what the overwhelming, mixed feeling was.


    Maverick was walking toward Everly. The familiar smell of him immediately reached her. Soon Everly


    felt thrust into a warm, firm chest.


    For a moment, it became more difficult for Everly to control her emotions.


    Tears quickly seeped into the chest of Maverick''s shirt.

    On the way here, Maverick was worried and anxious, but now he felt heartbroken.


    He knew very well that he had never felt such a heart-wrenching feeling before.


    "Does it hurt?"


    Maverick felt that Everly was shedding so many tears that arge part of his shirt was wet. Maverick


    did not know how tofort her. His voice was husky but sexy due to his fatigue from his all-night


    journey here. Maverick said in her ear, "I''m sorry. It''s my fault. I didn''t protect you. Does it hurt?"


    Everly really wanted to say that it hurt.


    However, the words died on her lips. Instead, Everly said, "No, it doesn''t hurt."


    Everly said in a broken voice, and it sounded like she was pretending to be strong.


    Everly didn''t want to be like that and she seemed to be hypocritical right now.


    However, Maverick was holding Everly, and she felt as if she was being embraced by the whole world,


    and the sense of lost security returned.


    As the tears welled up, it seemed that all her anxiety, hesitation, and self-reproach vanished.


    However, even though Maverick knew nothing about doctor''s advice, he was sure that Everly could not


    keep crying.


    Maverickforted her gently. "Alright. You can tell me anything you want. And I know how you feel.


    But don''t cry. Your eye''s hurt. You can''t keep crying."


    Everly grunted.


    Maverick saw Everly was aggrieved.


    When Everly nestled in his arms, his heart overflowed with tenderness.


    Maverick really wanted to be with her.


    Maverick wiped the tears from Everly''s eyes gently and sighed. "It''s my fault. It''s all my fault. Everly,


    don''t cry. Your eye''s injured. You definitely can''t continue shedding tears like this."


    Maverickforted Everly patiently. Although he didn''t say honeyed words, Everly felt very sweet.


    Over the years, plucking up the courage, Everly moved on defying all difficulties. Wasn''t she tired of


    taking care of her son all by herself?


    She just didn''t want to admit it.


    Everly had to live the life she chose, no matter what.


    Sometimes, when Everly felt wronged, she would just bear with it. Without a shoulder to rely on, Everly


    knew she couldn''t cry.


    But it was different now.


    Maverick came out of nowhere to move into her heart when she was at her weakest.


    Everly felt that she had no choice but to surrender.


    Maverickforted Everly for a while before she calmed down slowly.


    Maverick sat on the sofa with Everly in his arms. Seeing that Everly almost calmed down, Maverick


    began to ask her about something.


    "I haven''t had the time to call Hendrix. Did you record it?"


    Everly replied with a cracked voice, "Actually, Sarah''s live broadcast reminded me of something."


    "What is it?"


    "Did you start working at Lamont Group five years ago? When I was trying to get you to invest, I read a


    lot about you, but I found that a lot of your information was deliberately erased. I didn''t think much of it


    before, but now I suppose you did it on purpose, didn''t you?"


    Maverick smiled. "Didn''t I tell you things were moreplicated when I was in Italy?"


    "I was still a college student at that time, and I liked painting, but my family didn''t have much money.


    And one of my favorite masters was going to be there. I knew that and then ... told my boyfriend Lucas.


    He got me a ticket. Little did I know that Sarah had the ticket, but I think Lucas got it. So Sarah med


    me."


    Five years ago, Lamont Group, an art exhibition?


    Maverick didn''t remember much about it.


    But now that Everly said this, of course he remembered.


    Maverick was actually the one who proposed the exhibition.


    At the time, Maverick had not yet taken full control of Lamont Group. Thepany was working on a


    They invited top designers to get it done.


    The designer was on good terms with Maverick.


    The designer epted the mansion project, and hoped that Maverick would open an art exhibition for


    his brother.


    The point, of course, was not to have an exhibition, but to bring in famous masters.


    It was not too difficult for Maverick and it was a sess at the time.


    But what Maverick didn''t know was that there was such an incident in between.


    Maverick tried hard to remember, but he didn''t seem to remember ever meeting Everly.


    His first impression of her was that night.


    Maverick reached out and pinched her face. "Have you always forgotten a lot?"


    Everly was stunned. "Of course not. I might just forget something that isn''t that important."


    Maverick was helpless.


    It seems that five years ago ... he was not that important to her.


    "I''ll have someone look into what you said. Did you attend that banquet?"


    "No, something happened to Hendrix. I didn''t go there and didn''t see the person I wanted to see."


    Everly paused as if something popped into her head, and then said, "But I think I saw you at the door of


    the hotel."

 Chapter 144 I Have Seen You Before

    Chapter 144 I Have Seen You Before


    "You saw me then?"


    "Yeah, it''s not this time. If it wasn''t for this, I probably wouldn''t remember. But it hits me now. I used to


    feel like we''d met somewhere before. And perhaps I saw you back then."


    Maverick raised an eyebrow. "Tell me more about it."


    Everly was about to speak when she saw Maverick staring at her.


    She suddenly realized what her face was like.


    Everly now had one of her eyes bandaged.


    Women set great store by their appearances.


    Besides, Everly was in front of the man she loved.


    " ... You, don''t stare at me. I don''t look good right now." Everly was embarrassed and immediately


    turned her face away.


    Maverick could not help but smile. "So you thought you used to be pretty?"


    Everly answered, "I used to..." She realized that Maverick was teasing her and flew into a rage from


    shame. "Maverick, do you think I''m ugly?"


    "No, of course not."


    "Yes, you do."


    "How do you get that?"


    "What you just said means that you dislike me."


    "Honey, I remember you were the one who asked me why I was always staring at you because you


    weren''t good-looking, weren''t you?"


    Everly froze when she was called "honey" by Maverick in a low and charming voice. What Maverick


    said just now was annoying, but Everly was shy instead of getting mad. She looked like she was


    immersed in love when she clenched her fists and patted Maverick''s chest. ying the women, Everly


    said, "No, I didn''t say that."


    "Are you sure?"


    "Yeah. I didn''t say it."


    "Fine, whatever you say." Maverick smiled, his eyes full of love. "Of course you''re beautiful. You are the


    best-looking woman in the world."


    "Are you trying to cheer me up?" Everly couldn''t help butugh out loud. "I didn''t think you would


    please a woman. You''re being hypocritical."


    "Well, I see that there''s some truth to women being difficult. Everly, it seem like everything I say is


    wrong."


    "You got that right."


    "Okay, I know."


    "I... Do I look bad right now? I may have scars on my eye. I... I''m just in looking. Wouldn''t I look


    worse if I have a scar?"


    Maverick looked deep into Everly''s eyes.


    Everly was quit worried. Although modern medicine was advanced and the scar could be repaired,


    Everly felt that it was different.

    When Everly was stared by Maverick, she was uneasy.


    Just as Everly was about to avoid his eyes, Maverick reached out and held her chin. "Everly, I hope


    that all men won''t see the good in you."


    Everly blinked her unharmed eye.


    Her eyes shone like the brightest stars in the night sky to Maverick.


    Everly was awesome.


    Maverick lowered his head and kissed her lips. He said word by word, pressing his lips against hers,


    "You don''t know how good you are."


    ...


    How did ite about?


    Everly was confused.


    Probably because they were apart for a few days. And they were just straightforward about their sexual


    desires.


    Maverick wanted it a lot.


    In fact, Everly felt tired, but Maverick was in such high spirits that she could not refuse.


    Everly was notfortable making love in the ward full of disinfectant smell and even suppressed her


    moans.


    However, Maverick seemed to prove to Everly that he did not dislike her at all and to tell her that he


    would love her no matter what she became.


    Maverick did it rough. In the end, Everly even cried and begged him to hurry up. He nibbled on her ear


    and forced her to say something to please him.


    Being submissive, Everly blushed and had no strength left.


    Then she passed out.


    Therefore, Maverick ended hastily.


    Hugging Everly, Maverick cleaned up her body. Everly had been trembling with fear because she had a


    lot on her mind. But now she was sleeping soundly after making love with Maverick.


    Maverick sat by the bed and wanted to smoke, but he knew smoking was not permissible in the


    hospital.


    Finally, Maverick lowered his head and kissed Everly''s face. He looked tenderly at Everly''s bandaged


    eye.


    Maverick reached out and touched the gauze on her eye gently before getting up.


    Leaving the ward, Maverick saw Hendrix at the end of the corridor.


    Hendrix was probably waiting for Maverick. Maverick stepped forward. He had no time to change his


    wrinkled clothes, but he still looked handsome. However, Maverick was not as gentle as he was with


    Everly, but rathernguid and sexy after his lust was satisfied.


    Hendrix could not help but curse inwardly.


    Hendrix said sullenly, "What do I have to do to let it go? Seriously, if it weren''t for you, there''s no way I''d


    be standing here and talking to you nicely."


    He shook his head. "My dad just got out of the operating room. He had an operation before, and this


    time he had another one. He is aging. How could he bear such pain? I''m afraid Everly will feel guilty.


    When I first learned of it, I just went crazy."


    Maverick was always superior.


    Hendrixined at the moment.


    But Maverick didn''t retort.


    He whispered in the end, "It''s my fault. I''m sorry."


    What could Hendrix say?


    Maverick admit his mistake and it was obvious that he absolutely loved Everly.


    Hendrix said, "It''s okay with me. I''m definitely rooting for Everly. Everly''s been going through a lottely,


    and it''s going to be a bit tough for you to get my dad to say yes."


    "That willeter. For now, we have to take care of the primary concern." No matter how difficult


    Everly''s dad was, Maverick was sure that there would be nothing serious as long as he was patient


    enough. But the burning issue must be solved right now.


    Hendrix agreed.


    Therefore, Everly and Maverick talked about the recording together. Hendrix said finally, "I still think


    someone''s trying to push the issue, but he''s hiding it pretty well. But I think it can''t be the Crokes.


    Tyrese''s on good terms with me. He was the first person to contact me when this happened. He only


    told me it wasn''t the Crokes. They don''t have anything to do with this. They''re kind of neutral and don''t


    want to take sides."


    Maverick did not speak.


    Hendrix thought about it and said, "Everly gave me the recording because this happened suddenly.


    She was going to go straight. But Lucas is involved."


    Maverick said, "Give it to me and I will handle it."

 Chapter 145 Sarahs Badly Beaten

    Chapter 145 Sarah''s Badly Beaten


    Maverick said he dealt with it and was swift to act.


    Sarah was controlled by Jayden. As for Lucas, the moment Maverick contacted Lawrence, there would


    be no problem.


    However, the awkward part was that Lucas was Everly''s ex-boyfriend and Maverick''s nephew.


    But in order to get Everly out of trouble, something had to be announced.


    Maverick found the most professionalwyer and analyzed the recording. He did not intercept the


    recording to prevent others from taking advantage of it.


    Maverick had Jayden contact all the media at once. After confirming that there were no other problems,


    he lost no time in making it public.


    And he had paid Inte trolls to shape public opinion in the same way.


    ...


    Almost overnight, the Inte was in an uproar.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Compared to those stars who cheated, actresses who were pregnant, and fresh-faced young actors


    who were in love, the dramatic stories of Everly, the ordinary woman, and the young man born in the


    purple were more attractive.


    Weibo was once again about to crash and all the coverage began to deviate from what it had been.


    And the key figure changed from Everly to Sarah.


    Sometimes one had to resort to extreme measures that had nothing to do with morality.


    For example, Maverick had someone buy off Sarah''s high school and college friends. So they would


    say bad things about Sarah.


    Within hours, most of the public opinion turned against Sarah.


    After all, if a woman slept with her bestie''s boyfriend and was a two-timer, she would surely be


    despised by everyone.


    As soon as Everly woke up, it was different.


    The news reports were all about Sarah, and even Sarah''s family was found out.


    Everly looked at the news on Weibo and felt upset.


    In fact, Everly was once tracked down online before. She knew exactly what it felt like to be the target


    of public criticism.


    Sarah''s mother was really disgraceful.


    When Everly just met Sarah, she learned that Sarah''s mother was a prostitute.


    Sarah''s father was a gambler. When Sarah was in primary school, her parents often fought. In fact,


    Sarah had an unhappy childhood.


    At that time, Sarah and Everly were good friends. Everly knew about Sarah''s past. To be honest, Everly


    felt sorry for her.


    Later, Everly found out that Sarah''s father ran up a lot of gambling debts and sold Sarah and her


    mother.


    There was really such a crazy person in the world.


    Sarah''s motherter became a prostitute in a nightclub. Sarah was often molested by men who had


    sex with her mother when she was young.


    Sarah studied hard and got into a good university to avoid all this.


    When Sarah went to college, Everly friended with her and knew that Sarah''s mother was about to quit


    her job, but she had a bad reputation. They had little money, so they lived hard.


    Now that all of this was uncovered, one could imagine how much of an uproar there would be on the


    Inte.


    However, Everly didn''t feel better.


    Instead, she just knew that Sarah got what she deserved.


    Everly did not sympathize with Sarah, but she did not want to kick Sarah when she was down.


    Everly was still kind, but Sarah had nothing.


    Sarah was hated by everyone now and couldn''t order takeout, let alone go out.


    She wanted to contact her sugar daddy, but who would want anything to do with her at this point?


    Theizens started to dig up how many bosses have affairs with Sarah. All those businessmen were


    married. Anything they had to do with Sarah would be upsetting for their family, so it was very unlikely


    that they would be in touch with Sarah.


    Sarah felt as if she was thrown into hell. The only thing she could think of was to contact the Kahls.


    Carolina contacted Sarah before, saying Sarah would be paid if she did what Carolina said. Sarah


    knew that it was difficult for her to stay here under the influence of cyber bullying, so she nned to go


    abroad.


    Sarah needed money to go abroad, so she was going to call Carolina.


    However, Carolina did not pick up her call.


    So Sarah felt isted. Carolina obviously cast Sarah aside when Carolina served her purpose.


    Only then did Sarah realize that the recording did not mention anything about the Kahl family.


    If Sarah remembered correctly, her conversation with Everly brought up the Kahl Family.


    These people were ganging up on Sarah, weren''t they?


    Sarah had nothing left, and that was why she was a pushover.


    Sarah felt like she was about to get depressed. She just stayed at home for a few hours, and she was


    about to break down.


    When Sarah thought of how ruthless Carolina was, she recalled her friendship with Everly over so


    many years and considered fighting back.


    The only thing Sarah could do now was to work with Everly. Sarah had recordings of their


    conversations when Carolina called her.


    Now that Carolina backtracked, Sarah could get back at her.


    ...


    Maverick waited for less than two hours and as expected, Jayden brought words that Sarah wanted to


    see Maverick.


    Maverick was not surprised at all.


    "I''m not going to see her. You take care of it and get all the evidence we need," Maverick instructed


    Jayden.


    Maverick paused for a moment before continuing, "Carolina probably took the files on my project in


    Weirdale. Alex is getting ready to take on Carolina. If Alex gets the goods on Carolina, you can contact


    Alex who will know what to do."


    "Yes, Mr. Maverick."


    Jayden asked again, "Mr. Maverick, when are you going to Italy?"


    "Tomorrow afternoon." It was true that Maverick had to go to Italy. "This must be all settled by tomorrow


    afternoon, and I don''t want the same thing to happen again."


    "Yes, Mr. Maverick."


    Maverick rubbed his eyebrows. "Don''t call me today and just do what you''re told. Call me tomorrow


    morning."


    He was going to spend time with his daughter.


    After hanging up, Maverick received another call before he could get up to see his daughter.


    Maverick nced at the caller ID before he remembered something and frowned.


    Maverick had no choice but to pick it up, saying, "I''m sorry. I am not in Italy at the moment because I


    have some business to do at home."


    A woman''s voice came from the other side of the phone. She sounded depressed. "Is that so? You


    know that I came here for you ... When are youing back?"

 Chapter 146 Undoing

    Chapter 146 Undoing


    Maverick pondered for a moment and then whispered, "As expected, it will be tomorrow afternoon, but I


    have been very busy recently."


    "I know, I saw the news." "So ... are all the things in the news true?" the other asked, looking uncertain.


    Maverick asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"


    In fact, his question had already exined a lot of the facts.


    A person like Maverick would never waste his time and energy on trivial gossip reports. Moreover, he


    had known him for many years. When would he be involved in scandals for a woman and affect his


    career?


    He was still asking what part of it was.


    In fact, he had already made it very clear that some of it were false and some of it were true.


    "Maverick, does that mean you are really in love?" The woman could not hide her disappointment in


    her words.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Maverick frankly admitted, "That''s not strange. I''m already at this age. I should fight for it if I meet the


    right one."


    Maybe it was through the phone.


    There was no need to hide the expression on his face.


    Maverick could not see the expression on the face of the woman on the other side of the ocean, across


    the phone, was at a loss.


    "Did you really meet the right person? Congrattions, no matter what, you should introduce her to


    me, right?" She forced a smile.


    "After we settle this matter here," Maverick said.


    "Alright then." "When you''re back in Italy, we still need to have a meal together. I haven''t seen you for a


    long time," the other party said straightforwardly.


    Maverick responded with a "Yes." and did not say anything else. He only said that he would contact her


    when he got there and then hung up.


    Although he was not a love master, in fact, he did not know much about rtionships.


    Perhaps in his own world, love only belonged to Everly.


    However, it was not as if he did not feel anything. He knew that the woman was kind of liked him.


    A man of status like him naturally had plenty of women by his side. He didn''t have any thoughts, so


    what he needed to do was ignore them.


    How could he have so much time to run these "interpersonal rtionships"?


    But the woman who just called him still had a different rtionship.


    When he was abroad in his early years, he encountered a crisis of entrepreneurship. At that time, he


    almost went bankrupt. When he was struggling for every step, it was she who helped him.


    She was also Chinese. After graduating from university, she went to France and had always been a


    cosmetics major.


    After that, she began to follow the R&D team and went on. Finally, she went to Korea, Japan, and


    created her own personal brand.


    Although not many people knew her true identity, there was a high-end skincare product on the market


    that was developed by her team.


    When his business was in danger, she generously helped.


    He had always been grateful to her in his heart.


    All these years, they were not in the same ce. They were often in contact with each other once or


    twice a month, or asionally on a business trip in the same country, and they would have a meal


    together.


    The woman was three years older than him, and he sometimes regarded her as a sister.


    The most intelligent thing about her was that she knew how to control her limits and had never gone


    overboard.


    Even if he knew that she might have some thoughts about him, he was notpletely sure.


    But what he did not know was...


    The reason why she had never gone overboard was that there had never been such a special


    existence by his side.


    Therefore, if she felt that she was outstanding enough, she would definitely be able to wait.


    But it was different now.


    Everly.


    What kind of existence was this woman?


    She didn''t understand. Was she really better and was even more beautiful than her ?


    She was actually able to easily obtain the favor of Maverick, even to the point where everyone knew


    about it. And this man, even if he did not mention even half a word, still had the intention to protect her.


    The more it was like this, the more jealous she was.


    ...


    Sarah made an appointment with Jayden.


    When they went out, they were fully armed.


    She usually drove out by herself. In this special situation, Sarah was afraid that the license te


    number would be investigated. After all, manyizens were very bored and pretended to be youth


    cynic, who were actually so bored that they could do anything.


    In just a dozen or so hours, she had received countless malicious calls, as well as some sh delivery


    packages, dead rats, and things like that.


    She was about to copse.


    She thought for a moment. She couldn''t drive or take a taxi, so she wanted to contact Jayden and ask


    his people to pick him up.


    As soon as the phone was turned on, a call came in.


    Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, she did not answer.


    However, the number was still calling tirelessly. After she turned it down four or five times, a text


    message jumped in.


    It was Carolina who contacted her.


    [Answer the phone. I am Kahl. ]


    Her heart skipped a beat. It was as if he suddenly had a glimmer of hope. The feeling of being beaten


    to the ground before was gone.


    This time, the call came in and she picked it up happily.


    Thinking about how she had contacted Carolina before, and had not been able to contact her at all.


    Now that she had taken the initiative to contact her, and adding on the fact that she had been so


    cowardly angry these past few days, she felt a little happy just by cing the phone beside her ear.


    She was the first to speak. "Look what it is that reminds you to contact me."


    Carolina ignored her sarcasm and said directly, "What do you n to do?"


    "What do you mean?"


    "I know you are going to see Jayden''s assistant."


    "So what? If I don''t go to see him, can you take the initiative to contact me? You rich people really don''t


    even blink when you y with people. I have no money and no power. Now I have been beaten as a


    street rat, and even my mother is not well. What have I offended you? You have crossed the river and


    destroyed the bridge. I just want money, but I can''t?"


    For all the negative emotions that Sarah had endured in the past few days, she no longer feel it''s the


    result she brought upon herself, but the rich people that pushed her into the abyss.


    She wanted to take revenge on Everly, and she also wanted to take revenge on Carolina of the Kahl


    Family. She was now so perverted and stubborn that she felt that only she was right in the world. They


    were all wrong!


    "If you want money, I will give it to you. I have already prepared it for you. Tonight, you will take the boat


    and leave City C first. Then, you will go directly from the adjacent city to Ennd. When you arrive in


    London, someone will pick you up."


    When Sarah heard this, her tone became a little different. "Are you telling the truth?" She asked in a


    different tone.

 Chapter 147 Sarah Was Dead

    Chapter 147 Sarah Was Dead


    Carolina said, "Of course, why would I lie to you? Watch your mouth."


    She warned in a low voice, "I can afford the money you want. Before, I couldn''t contact you in time. I


    also have my problem now. Sarah, I hope you can wise up. Right now, you are just being scolded by


    theseizens. When you go abroad, this matter will slowly pass. At that time, it''s up to you whether


    you want toe back or stay abroad. But if you dare to talk nonsense now and get us involved, you


    should be very clear that you will not have a good end."


    "I''m already in a miserable state. What do you think I have to lose?" Sarah asked.


    "Then do you think that since you have hurt Everly''s eyes, Maverick will spare you?"


    Sarah suddenly remembered it in the bathroom of the restaurant that day.


    That man only looked at Everly with gentle eyes.


    At other times, his eyes were always cold. His arrogance seemed to be born with him, and he did not


    pay attention to anyone.


    This time, she was going to see Maverick, but was told that she could only see his assistant.


    Wasn''t Maverick controlling the media to aim at her?


    Sarah thought about it and fell silent.


    Carolina knew that she had almost seeded and was slightly relieved.


    As soon as Sarah''s matter was exposed, there were already people shouting that it was because of the


    Kahl family behind it.


    Carolina''s dad was very angry and ordered her to settle this matter.


    Miley crossed her legs indifferently this time.


    Carolina felt that she was not a good judge of character. Sarah was so stupid that she was actually


    recorded.


    She understood Maverick. Now he never thought of contacting her. To him, Carolina was really


    worthless.


    Since he didn''t ask, he would really attack the Kahl family without mercy.


    Moreover, she had also stolen his project information back then. Now that Alex had already started


    setting up the n, Carolina knew very well they would break off sooner orter.


    It was destined that she could not get him.


    So she decided to cooperate with her father andpletely destroy him. Even if she couldn''t destroy


    him, she couldn''t let the people around him live a good life.


    The two of them hit it off.


    Carolina said she would find someone to pick Sarah up.


    After ending the call, Sarah thought about it and sent a text message to Jayden, telling him to send


    some money to her first. Otherwise, she would not go to see him.


    She nned to get benefits from both sides.


    After leaving the country this time, she would note back again. With this money, she would take


    her mother to spend the rest of her life.


    Jayden had already prepared everything and suddenly received a text message from Sarah, asking


    him to pay first.


    It was an equal transaction for them.


    If Sarah didn''t get her money, she wouldn''t speak.


    In fact, Maverick had told him that money didn''t matter.


    As long as she could say something useful, she could get as much money as she wanted.


    However, Jayden now felt that this woman was really greedy. No wonder she had an unsightly history.


    At this juncture, she was still thinking about money.


    He despised such a woman.


    He did not pay any attention to Sarah''s message and just called her.


    He asked her toe over first. Sarah had already made up her mind not toe. She gave a lot of


    reasons to get the money first.


    Jayden was furious. "Miss Sarah, I hope you can figure out what kind of situation you are in right now.


    Don''t just think about money. Mr. Maverick has already been lenient. Otherwise, do you really think you


    can still talk to me like this?"


    Sarah was fearless. "Since you are not sincere, then forget it. I won''t go."


    Then, she hung up the phone.


    Jayden was speechless.


    He did not believe that this woman could y any other tricks.


    He nned to make thements on the Inte more intense.


    He did not believe that he couldn''t settle such a woman who only wanted money.


    However, Jayden did not know that thest call, the text message, and what he had decided to do, had


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    be a fatal point.


    No one expected that after four hours, someone called the police, saying that Sarah was dead.


    She was now the center of the event.


    Now that she had suddenly died, online discussion had intensified.


    Sarah''s death caught Maverick off guard.


    After Everly found out about this matter, she waspletely stunned.


    The first person she contacted was Maverick. After all, she couldn''t ept Sarah''s sudden death. Her


    voice was trembling, "Is this true? Is Sarah really dead? She ... Is she murdered? How could this be?


    Why...?"


    Maverick had to go to Italy in the afternoon, and it was obviously dyed.


    Naturally, he was also clueless.


    However, the police now had some inexplicable evidence of him. It seemed that there was a suspicion


    of instigating his assistant to threaten Sarah. In short, Maverick was restricted to leave the country.


    He didn''t want Everly to worry and didn''t mention this. Moreover, he believed that there was a secret


    behind Sarah''s death.


    Surprisingly, Sarah''s death not only involved them, but also the Kahl family.


    Carolina waspletely exposed. Before Sarah died, the only two people she contacted were Jayden


    and Carolina.


    Alex would definitely not be better off than him now.


    "Everly, this matter is quite sudden. Don''t read too much news first. Those are notpletely true. Wait


    for me. I will go to the hospital to find youter."


    Everly couldn''t help but cry out, "How could this be? Although I don''t like her and I think many of her


    actions aren''t good, I really don''t want to kill her. Did we go too far? This time, manyizens are


    scolding her, and her mother ... I know that it was not easy for her since she was a child. I really did not


    do it on purpose. I did not want her to die. Maverick, I feel so sad."


    It was a life.


    It was impossible for anyone to be indifferent.


    Maverick could onlyfort her in a soft voice, "Baby, be good. It''s not your fault. It has nothing to do


    with you. Wait for me to go over, okay? I''ll go over now." There came the sound of the door being


    closed. "Okay, don''t hang up the phone and talk to me, okay?"

 Chapter 148 The Message from the Death

    Chapter 148 The Message from the Death


    Everly had suffered a lot of emotional pressures recently.


    She was not emotionally stable, and now she suddenly learned that Sarah whom she had known for so


    many years was dead.


    Everly copsed and she always had the illusion that she killed Sarah to some extent.


    Therefore, she was panicked.


    Maverickforted Everly on phone all the way. When he arrived at the hospital, he met across


    Hendrix.


    Both of them knew what was happening.


    Hendrix was shocked and asked Maverick, "I thought you had controlled the situation. Why did Sarah


    suddenly die?"


    When Maverick arrived at the hospital''s parking lot, he had already hung up the phone. He was


    anxious to see Everly, but he stopped and answered Hendrix, "She died all of a sudden and I don''t


    know anything about it. The police have already investigated. I will not leave City C at the moment.


    Don''t worry, I will take good care of Everly."


    Hendrix pinched the bridge of his nose and looked upset. He said, "Do you still remember what I told


    you before? I guess that someone is undermining you except for the Kahl family and the Rice family.


    But I don''t know who the person is. Sarah suddenly died for no reason and I am even more convinced


    of my guess. Do you have any clues?"


    Maverick pondered for a moment and said, "I don''t know."


    After a pause, Maverick added, "I don''t suspect people for no reason, but if I got any convincing


    evidence, I know what to do."


    Hendrix said, "I never doubt your abilities in handling things."


    Maverick was silent.


    Hendrix said, "You go and see Everly if you are free. When my father recovers, I think it''s hard for you


    to see her. By the way, are you going to take your daughter back?"


    Maverick thought for a moment and replied, "Let her be with Edmond for the time being."


    Hendrix immediately understood what Maverick meant.


    If his daughter was in the Farley''s, it would be easier for Maverick to see Everly. After all, the aged in


    the Farley family would not reject his little daughter.


    With such a meticulous man in mind, Hendrix felt that he did not have to worry too much. Anyway, he


    just needed to protect the person he should protect.


    When Maverick arrived at the ward, Everly was sitting on the bed in a daze with a phone in her hand


    while looking out of the window with her uninjured eye. She was not in a good state.


    So many things happened again and again, which made Everly could not withstand. Maverick looked at


    her and felt that she looked much thinner than before.


    Maverick was worried about her health.


    Maverick walked over and hugged her.


    He kissed Everly''s cheek.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Only then did Everly turn around, with her eyes red.


    Maverick kissed the corner of her eyes and whispered, "Don''t worry. It has nothing to do with you and


    don''t look at anything online recently. You have pain in your eyes, and you keep shedding tears. I am


    worried about you."


    Everly choke with sobs and said, "I didn''t think that Sarah would die. I felt very uneasy when she died.


    In the past, she and I had a really good rtionship. Although she has done so many disgusting things,


    when I saw her die, I felt very uneasy. Why?"


    Maverick said, "I don''t know."


    Maverick did not hide anything on purpose. He added, "Don''t pay too much attention to thements


    online. At that time, I was going to let Sarah betray the Kahl family. This time, the Kahl family controlled


    her. But for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind. Then I got the news that she died."


    Everly wondered, "Was she murdered?"


    Maverick told her that he got the news from Lawrence that Sarah hadmitted suicide, but at


    present, the police had not announced it to the public yet because they found something suspicious.


    Everly said to Maverick, "Please tell me."


    Maverick, for the first time in his life, used all his patience tofort Everly by saying, "I can''t tell you


    too much now. I don''t even know much about it. Don''t worry. Whether Sarahmitted suicide or was


    killed by someone, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, she is a mistress all year round. This time,


    when her private life was exposed, I did have the intention to expose her, but it''s just a tit-for-tat. No


    one wanted her to die, right? And think about it, if she had not done so many bad things, she would not


    die."


    Everly knew Sarah was not a morally-decent girl.


    But she was still very uneasy.


    No one would care about it. The loss of human life was just like a stain on a piece of paper.


    People did not care who killed Sarah.


    In the past, some celebrities in the entertainment circlemitted suicide due to depression. No one


    knew why they did it.


    But when everything was revealed, people would only say that they died because of the pressure of the


    public.


    All the keyboard warriors had responsibilities for their death.


    But Everly had a son, Edmond, and she worried that someday people would tell Edmond that his


    mother was a ruthless murderer.


    After all, if one had a soft spot, it was hard to be fearless.


    Maverick asked, "Are you alright?" As Everly thought of herself, she said to Maverick in a low voice, "I


    can''t help you with anything but I''ve been making trouble for you all the time. I''m sorry."


    Maverick gently pinched her shoulder and frowned, "It''s ok. I''m d to help you."


    "But..."


    Maverick sighed and kissed the corner of her mouth. He said, "Come on, it''s not a big deal. If it weren''t


    for me, you wouldn''t have suffered this. But I won''t regret it. Even if I have one more chance, I''ll still


    choose you."


    Hearing this, Everly was almost crying and leaned into Maverick''s arms.


    There were only a few seconds of silence before her phone vibrated.


    It was the notification of a text message.


    Everly had been receiving text messages on her phone all the time since Sarah''s death, but she did not


    look at them.


    Because at that time, Everly felt so guilty and upset that she did not check the messages.


    The messages would be notified twice in a while.


    She calmed down a little and felt that there was a message on her phone, so she looked at it.


    At the same time, Maverick went out to the balcony to answer the phone that someone had called.


    Everly saw that the message was from Sarah.


    Even if Everly felt that she was innocent, she could not help but feel her heart was pounding when she


    received a text message from a person who was already dead.


    Her fingers trembled as she clicked on the message.


    After taking a closer look, Everly realized that the message was sent several hours ago.


    The message that vibrated just now was not from Sarah but others.


    Everly just happened to see this message from Sarah.


    Her heart was beating fast as she was about to read the message.

 Chapter 149 The Man Five Years Ago Was You, Maverick!

    Chapter 149 The Man Five Years Ago Was You, Maverick!


    What Everly didn''t quite understand was that Sarah and she used to be such close friends.


    However, she suddenly turned ruthless and did something that would let her down.


    What was the cause?


    Everly felt that there was definitely something that she did not know.


    And this text message with a few hundred words had just solved this doubt.


    [Everly, do you think I have let you down? No, it''s you who let me down. Even if I die, you should have


    a lifetime of shadow. Do you really think that a mere admission ticket back then could make me fall out


    with you? We''ve known each other for so many years. I know that you are a good person, but when


    you treat me as a friend, I treat you sincerely. I just didn''t expect that the person who once said that she


    would not look down on me had never respected me at all. I really wanted the entrance ticket back


    then. I knew that Maverick would attend. I always knew that Lucas was a cousin of the Lamont family.


    At that time, I also asked you about it, but you didn''t seem to know anything. Do you really think I can''t


    tell? The person I had a crush on was the man wearing sses who often appeared on Wall Street


    Journal in the United States. I know he is Lucas'' uncle. On the surface, you are with Lucas, but in


    private, you are trying to attract Maverick''s attention. Do you still not want to admit it? Opening my


    wallet, y


    ou saw the picture I had put inside that was cut from the magazine. You always knew Maverick, but you


    pretended not to know anything. When you knew that I was going to the ball, you snatched my ticket


    like crazy. That night, I lost everything, not only lost the chance to meet Maverick, I also drank too


    much and was raped. All of this is was because of you! If I die, I won''t let you go even if I be a


    ghost! ]


    ...


    Everly''s hand trembled.


    The phone snapped and fell to the floor.


    However, the screen broken was still lit.


    Maverick heard the sound inside and immediately ran in.


    As soon as he saw Everly''s pale face, he picked up the phone on the ground and quickly read the


    contents of the message.


    Maverick frowned.


    He did not know the twists and turns between these women.


    But Sarah had a crush on him?


    He didn''t know why Everly''s face was so pale, so he threw his phone on the table and asked her.


    Unexpectedly, Everly suddenly reacted and asked him with a face of disbelief, "You ... you used to


    wear sses?"


    Maverick was stunned, "You asked me and I answered that I used to wear sses."


    "Five years ago?"


    "To be exact, it was probably two years ago that I started not wearing sses. But I am myopia. What''s


    wrong?"


    "You ... Did you say that there''s a limited edition watch? It''s especially expensive. Wait a minute, I''ll


    show you the picture." Everly crawled over, took her phone, opened the photo album, found the


    preserved photo, and showed it to Maverick, "Isn''t it?"


    Her voice was trembling.


    Maverick vaguely knew what she was struggling about.


    In fact, there were some things that were not suitable for him to be honest at this critical juncture, but if


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    it was true, he was also willing to let nature take its course.


    "Yes, I have one."


    Everly''s heart almost jumped out of her throat.


    She also looked at the man in front of her in disbelief.


    Really ... could it be him?


    In fact, she did not remember clearly what Sarah told her.


    However, when it came to the photos, she did have some impression of them.


    Although Sarah was of poor birth, she had always wanted to find a powerful man. In fact, people with


    low birth all wanted to change their fate in this way. That was why she would always rely on men to live.


    She was such a woman in her bones.


    At that time, she indeed liked someone, but Everly had never taken it seriously.


    She had indeed seen the photos hidden in her wallet.


    Just like a little fan chasing superstar, liking her idol, she couldn''t possibly feel that it was such an easy


    thing.


    She had indeed said that she was whimsical.


    She admitted that when she was young, she was straightforward and said it half-jokingly.


    But at that time, she didn''t know that the person was Maverick.


    The memories were like a tide. After the valve was suddenly opened, the images that had been


    suppressed for many years rushed over.


    However, Everly herself was a little flustered.


    She seemed to have understood.


    Why did she dated a man to go to the hotel when she found out about Sarah and Lucas?


    At that time, the one she saw was Maverick.


    At that time, Maverick must have looked like the one in Sarah''s wallet.


    She didn''t know anything, but she recognized Maverick.


    She was holding a vengeful mentality.


    She was just thinking, since you slept with my boyfriend, why can''t I sleep with the person you like?


    Therefore, Everly, who had always been conservative and stubborn in front of Lucas, was able to act


    like she was drunk and randomly found a man for a night.


    ...


    So, at that time, she always felt that the smell on Maverick was very familiar.


    Because that night five years ago, it really wasn''t as if she had no impression of it.


    She had forgotten everything when she woke up, but it was as if she had remembered that feeling and


    smell.


    She had always felt that it was very strange and could not grasp the key point.


    So, at that time in the bathroom of the restaurant, when Sarah saw Maverick, she would say those


    strange words to her.


    In fact, she must have thought that in her early years, she wanted to get close to Maverick through


    Lucas, but now she got Maverick and was still pretending to be innocent.


    ...


    She didn''t know how to describe her feelings at this moment.


    Everly seemed to see the light in an extremely low mood.


    The man five years ago was Maverick.


    Edmond''s biological father was actually Maverick.


    But she soon thought of it - did Maverick know that the person at that time was her?


    That night, when she was drunk, he should have not been drunk.


    When she woke up the next day, the man beside her was gone. She was the only one on the big bed in


    the hotel.


    Even if he didn''t know at night, how could he not see her face in broad daylight?


    It seemed like that night, she put on makeup.


    But no matter what, Everly still felt that she seemed to have lost her mind. She still had vague


    memories, let alone the sober Maverick.


    She had already deviated from the main point.


    She just wondered if he knew.


    At this moment, it was as if there was a machine in her mind, and then a switch was opened by


    someone.


    Those dialogues were all swarming in.


    It was what Maverick said to her before.


    In the past, she always felt that it was nothing but ridicule. But now, she realized that it was actually not.


    Didn''t his unspoken words already hinted her when they first met at the hotel?

 Chapter 150 Now, I Want To Make You Happy

    Chapter 150 Now, I Want To Make You Happy


    Everly also did not know how to describe this feeling.


    Probably, when facing the truth, she was actually a little uncertain and cowering.


    "What''s the matter?" Maverick could not wait for her to speak for a long time, but the expression on her


    face was obvious. After several changes, Maverick still said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."


    "What about you? Did you have something that hasn''t told me yet?" Everly asked.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Maverick stared straight at her.


    He had just now felt that he had vaguely guessed that she might have thought of something.


    Now, he felt that he could be sure.


    In fact, he didn''t say anything before and didn''t mean to hide anything. He just felt that it was not an


    appropriate time.


    However, he never thought that it would be at such a time.


    Maybe sometimes, God disposed better than men.


    He also knew what she was upset about. At this time, he did not want to make any more mistakes. He


    said first, "Did you think of something?"


    They were all adults, so there was no need to be too blunt with their words. They both knew what it


    meant.


    Everly calmed down a little and stopped going around. She looked at the man opposite her. "You know,


    don''t you? That night five years ago, you and I ... you always knew?"


    He frowned a little, then whispered, "Everly, your eyes tell me that you have doubts about me in your


    heart. But I still tell you that I am not deliberately hiding anything from you. I just can''t find a suitable


    opportunity to tell you. Of course, I have to admit that I have always hoped that you can remember."


    Her heart was still suspended.


    It was hard to describe.


    At that time, even though she had some doubts, she always thought of a one in ten thousand


    possibility.


    After all, he always gave her a very familiar feeling, but she still felt that it was inconceivable.


    Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.


    "I really didn''t expect..." She smiled bitterly. "I have never dared to look for the person from back then.


    Who was it? I was just a little scared. At that time, when I thought about it, I was going to let it go if I


    really can''t remember. I never expected it."


    When he saw her like this, he felt a little ufortable. He frowned and asked, "What, why are you


    quite disappointed as you know it''s me?"


    "No..."


    Maverick reached out to hug her: "I didn''t expect you to think of something at this time, but I am really


    happy. You finally know, Everly, you are always the one. Understand?"


    Everly wanted to say that she had always had him only.


    And ... and there was something more important that Edmond was really his son.


    Everly was thrilled.


    The reason why Edmond liked Maverick so much seemed to have an exnation.


    The blood was thicker than water.


    The words that she wanted to blurt out, at this time, were stopped again.


    Sometimes, it''s hard to say what you were thinking.


    Right now, she really wanted to cry. She wasn''t sad, but satisfied.


    "If I didn''t remember, are you going to stay silent for a lifetime?" Shey in the man''s arms and asked in


    a muffled voice.


    Maverick sighed, "How is that possible? I was going to find a suitable opportunity to get you drunk and


    rey our history."


    "Are you kidding me?" Everly snapped.


    "No, what I said is true. You have no memory at all when you are drunk. Everly, you make things


    difficult for me. I can''t tell you directly for fear of scaring you."


    "When did you recognize me?"


    "This is the first time we meet."


    "When I knocked on your door?"


    "Yes."


    Everly was quiet for a moment and carefully recalled the events of that day.


    She thought of the way Maverick looked at him at that time, thought of how he was very nasty at that


    time and deliberately asked her to shout, and thought of how he mocked at that time that she could


    shouted better.


    At that time, she didn''t dare to vent her emotions, but now she need to vent them out.


    She reached out and squeezed the man''s waist.


    He obviously froze and snorted, but still indulged her.


    She was still angry, so she lowered her head and bit down hard on his chest. He only felt a burst of


    numbnessing from his back.


    "Baby, are you sure you want to keep seducing me like this?" He gritted his teeth, but he was still a little


    helpless.


    Her heart skipped a beat. "Who is trying to seduce you? I am punishing you! You always knew but you


    wouldn''t tell me. Do you know? I have been thinking about whether I should ask my brother to find this


    man. I also thought about how embarrassing it would be if it was a friend you knew. But you always


    knew and didn''t tell me."


    "Well, it''s my fault. Can you change the way of punishment?"


    How could she not understand what he meant?


    She pounded the man''s chest a few times and said hatefully, "No way! I won''t let you get it."


    "Aren''t you hugging me now?"


    "It was you who hugged me."


    "Alright, alright, alright. Baby, whatever you say is right. You have the final say and it is my fault. You


    can punish me however you want. Isn''t this fate for us?" He lowered his head and looked at her gently.


    "You are my woman. In fact, you are already mine early in the morning. So, the people who will be


    together will definitely be together, no matter how many twists and turns there are in the middle."


    She was silent for a moment.


    Shey in his arms and smelled the sea salt scent on his body that made her feel at ease.


    Then he said, "I have one more thing to tell you."


    "What?"


    "Are you ready?"


    "What is it? Is it very important?" Maverick raised an eyebrow.


    "It''s very important."


    "Say then."


    She bit her lips and raised her head from the man''s chest. Although there was only one eye outside,


    the wet eye really made people itch.


    He couldn''t help but lower his head and kiss the corner of her eyes. He smiled and asked, "What''s


    wrong? Are you trying to keep me in suspense?"


    "No?"


    "Sure."


    She didn''t have much of a temper after being coaxed by him. He didn''t deliberately hide the secret


    before, so now, she had actually stabilized her emotions. What was left was that feeling of satisfaction.


    It was good, wasn''t it?


    It really was him, there seemed to be nothing more wonderful and perfect than this in the world.


    "Maverick." She reached out to draw circles on the man''s chest and said softly, "Remember what you


    said to me when we took the two children to the amusement park?"


    "What do you mean? I said a lot. You have to tell me the details."


    "You said that Candy was very happy. You also want to make me happy."


    Heughed, "Everly, what do you want to say?"


    "Well, I''m actually quite happy now. I also want to make you happy."

 Chapter 151 Do You Want to Know?

    Chapter 151 Do You Want to Know?


    Maverick fell for it.


    Everly was being sweet!


    In fact, what Maverick was thinking was that the way she said to make him happy was the same as the


    way he wanted to make her happy.


    Maverick reached out and grabbed her hand on his chest. "Everly, you don''t need to take the initiative


    in this case. If you need it, I can make you happy anytime."


    Boys will be boys.


    Everly used to think that he was aloof and remote, and he didn''t look like a man with strong sex desire.


    Indeed, one shouldn''t judge a book by its cover.


    "What are you thinking?"


    "Don''t you feel the same way?"


    "Of course not!"


    "But you are trying to seduce me. Are you not going to take responsibility now after teasing me by


    arousing desire?" he asked in an aggrieved tone.


    Everly found that his eyes were full of desires. She knew that she could not continue teasing him.


    Otherwise, she would really help him with his desire.


    Everly decided to get down to business.


    "Just try to be normal. I really have something to say."


    Maverick felt that he was very normal, otherwise he would have forced himself upon her just now.


    However, in order to prevent him from going overboard, Everly quickly pushed him away. "Let me tell


    you about me. Didn''t you always want to know about my marriage in America and my ex-husband?"


    What Everly said really made Maverick stop. Maverick never asked about or secretly investigate


    Everly''s past, but it did not mean that he did not want to know.


    It was only due to respect.


    Now that Everly had taken the initiative to mention it, Maverick naturally wanted to listen to it.


    When Maverick knew she was the one he had a one-night stand with five years ago, he hid it from her


    for a while. Now that she had a "secret", she couldn''t help but want to string him along.


    So, Everly started talking in a roundabout way.


    "I was married in America before, but I didn''t tell you anything specific."


    Maverick nodded, "What are you going to tell me? Your ex-husband?"


    In fact, Maverick didn''t care much about the fact that Everly had married before.


    When he recognized her, he had already epted the fact that she had a son. He would not take it to


    heart.


    "Yes, tell you about my son and my ex-husband."


    Maverick now intuitively thought that she was doing it on purpose.


    Perhaps it was because he had never said anything about what happened five years ago that she


    deliberately told him about her past to make him afflictive. He would not be indifferent, but he knew that


    whether he was jealous or not, he still had to coax her in the end.


    "Alright, go ahead."


    "When I went to America five years ago, I met Jack, my ex-husband. He was a doctor. When I arrived


    in America, my brother had just started doing business. He didn''t have much money, so I spared no


    effort to make money. Then, by chance, I met Jack. I did him a big favor when he got into a medical


    dispute. Jack was almost framed at that time. I happened to helped him. He avoided the disaster. I


    thought he was nice, so we started to be friends. Later..."


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    It was because she needed to give birth to a child in America and needed an identity.


    When Everly went to America, she didn''t intend to return home in a short period of time. Therefore, she


    was married with Jack.


    "What happened afterwards?"


    "I married himter, and then I gave birth to Edmond there."


    Maverick was not stupid. This was just the time for him to ask, "As you mentioned, Jack is an


    American. I wonder why Edmond is not a mixed-blood."


    "I never say Jack is Edmond''s biological father." Everly blinked and said seriously, "Edmond is not a


    mixed-blood, because his father is Chinese."


    No matter how shrewd Maverick was, it was impossible for him to catch on that he was Edmond''s


    biological father in an instant.


    At this time, Maverick didn''t dare to think about this at all, just as Everly did not dare to think that the


    man five years ago was Maverick.


    So, when Maverick heard what Everly said, he naturally thought that she had slept with another man


    before.


    He had tried to convince himself not to care about her past, and promised to treat Edmond as his own


    son.


    But at this moment, Maverick felt impelled to be very ufortable.


    He was good at self-controlling, but he didn''t avoid it at all, directly expressing his emotions on his face.


    Everly found his eyes were cold, but she was a little proud of herself.


    He must have misunderstood it and was unhappy.


    "What''s wrong? You look a little unhappy?"


    Maverick thought to himself, "I am very unhappy, not a little bit. Who is that man?"


    It was really the first time in his life that he wanted to say it, but he couldn''t get it out and felt


    ufortable.


    Everly saw that he kept a straight face. She knew that he must be very unhappy. She smiled and said,


    "Why aren''t you talking? Do you really care it?"


    "Everly, do you want me to tell the truth?" Maverick sighed.


    "Of course."


    "Alright, listen up." Maverick pinched her hand, looked at her and said, "If I tell you that I really don''t


    care about this, it was impossible! I am a man. I care about your past. However, what I care about is


    not just your past. It is probably a pity that I should have known you earlier. Or rather, if I knew that I


    would still be with you now, I would not have just had an affair with you back then. Do you understand?


    So don''t talk about the past. Everyone has his past. I am a little jealous that I do not involve in your


    past. But I''ll be a part of your future."


    These words were very pleasant to listen to.


    However, Everly knew that he was not simply sweet talking.


    It was Maverick''s promise.


    She felt that her life could be considered to be perfect.


    "I don''t care who Candy''s mother is. I am with you and ept you. I also ept her. Don''t worry. I will


    be good to Candy in the future and treat her like my own child."


    Maverick pinched her face, "What exactly do you want to say to me? I know that after you came back,


    you divorced your ex-husband. Was he nice to you before?"


    Everly was almost done with keeping him guessing.


    Everly decided to tell him the truth.


    "Jack has always been nice to me, but we are husband and wife in name."


    "What ... in name?" Maverick''s face clouded over.


    "As I said, I needed a help back then. He married me to repay me."


    Everly paused and said, "Edmond''s father is indeed Chinese, and he is from City C. I was not sure


    before, but now I am sure. I just found out who Edmond''s father is."


    "Do you want to know who he is?" She stared at Maverick. Then she suddenly smiled as Maverick


    looked somewhat dull.

    Chapter 152 All Kinds of Feelings Well Up


    "I wasn''t sure before, but now I am. I''ve just found out who is Edmond''s biological father."


    "A Chinese, from City C."


    ...


    "Do you want to know who that man is?"


    ...


    Maverick had gone through a lot of soul-stirring moments in his life.


    For both good and bad things.


    He had experienced a lot in the past, some of which he had never told Everly.


    Over time, he had be quite indifferent.


    But at this moment, he felt that his heart was filled with something indescribable.


    He couldn''t even make a move.


    If Everly had been able to understand everything about that one-night stand at once, then at this point,


    it was impossible for Maverick not to know what she was talking about.


    A thought had juste to his mind.


    But he just could not believe it.


    Or it was better to say, it was unbelievable.


    He felt that all kinds of feelings had welled up in his heart.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    He was so shocked that he was not sure if it was real.


    How ... could it be?


    His hands kept loosening and tightening.


    He was at a loss and speechless because of the mixed emotions in his mind.


    "Everly..."


    After a long time, he could only spit out these two words with his husky voice. He stared at her with a


    burning gaze.


    "Yes." Everly nodded and said in a gentle tone, "You guessed it too, didn''t you? I can understand the


    reason why you didn''t tell me about what happened five years ago. Maybe it really was ... hard to


    speak out. Just like what I am doing now. So you know now, right?"


    Maverick felt that the self-control he had always been proud of had disappeared at this moment.


    He became so fiercely emotional that his eyes were even reddened, "Really? What you said ... is the


    same as what I thought?"


    "Yes."


    Everly said, "Edmond was born after the one-night stand between you and me."


    It seemed like the whole world had fallen silent.


    Only Everly''s soft and gentle voice left, just like the most wonderful music in the world.


    She continued, "At that time, my family didn''t agree that I had a baby out of wedlock and didn''t even


    know who the father of Edmond was. Parrish was the one that was mostly against this. He was a man


    who behaved himself and had been very strict with my education since I was a child. But at that time, I


    insisted on keeping Edmond, even though I was almost forced to have an induced abortion. It was


    Hendrix who helped me and sent me away from City C. Parrish even had a heart attack because of


    this. So all these years, I have no face toe back. I feel very sorry for my family."


    Maverick couldn''t help choked with sobs hearing this. His hands were tense and the veins on the back


    of them bulged, showing how excited he was at this moment.


    Everly continued to confide, "In fact, it was quite hard to be a single mother at the beginning, but


    Edmond is very sensible since childhood. I never regretted giving birth to him. I have never thought of


    looking for his father. Edmond had asked me about that a few times. Edmond knew a lot even though


    he was just a child. He grew up in the United States since he was born, thus I would sometimes feel


    sorry for him for owing him the kinship and even failing to provide him good living conditions. At that


    time, I..."


    Before she could finish, she was pulled into his arms.


    The next second, she was kissed on the lips.


    When Maverick came to understand everything, he couldn''t help hugging her tightly. He was overjoyed!


    Too overjoyed that he wanted to give her everything!


    The way he hugged Everly was the same as that of an adult holding a child. Afraid of falling, Everly


    reached out her arms and wrapped them around Maverick''s neck naturally.


    With this posture, she had to lower her head.


    While Maverick, on the other hand, did it very easily.


    He could just kiss her by looking up.


    And they kept wandering in the ward.


    He didn''t know what to say, so he wanted to do something. But he also didn''t know what to do, so he


    wanted to hug her tightly.


    She could stay away.


    But she had a child for him!


    How hard had she been all those years?


    She had to earn a living in the United States as a single mother!


    Thinking about this, he felt terribly sorry.


    No wonder when he first saw Edmond at the airport, he liked him a lot.


    Everything was destined.


    For the first time, he felt that he was blessed.


    When he was very little, someone had taken everything from him. So for the next few decades, he had


    not lived very well.


    But now, he was having the best in his life.


    His life was perfect!


    "Everly." Maverick''s thin lips were still pressed against hers. He ced her on the windowsill, where he


    could just look at her horizontally. He said in a husky voice, showing that he had gone through mood


    swings, "I don''t know what to say, but now I feel very good. Everything is good."


    Everly knew that he was happy and satisfied.


    She was also the same.


    "Me too," After a pause, she continued, "There are no other men. Five years ago, it was you. Now, it


    was still you. Edmond is your son. I just didn''t expect that I could find you after all these."


    "Remember?" Maverick said, "I said that the diamond I took at that time belongs to you, just like you


    have always belonged to me. Everly, thank you. Thank you for all these years. Everything''s on me


    now..."


    "Everything''s on me now."


    All the emotions were probably concentrated in these words.


    Everly believed it for sure.


    For them, it was like they had gone through a lot in this short time. But it was only between them as


    well.


    Adults could quickly digest these unbelievable facts. What about Edmond?


    Everly knew that he had always liked Maverick.


    However, when it came to telling Edmond that Maverick was his father, she felt that she had to find a


    proper opportunity.


    Maverick was quite confident about this, "There''s no need to worry that he won''t be able to ept it.


    On the contrary, Edmond will be very happy."


    This problem could be solvedter.


    Sarah''s death was a bigger problem.


    Something that could not be ignored.

 Chapter 153 People Behind This

    Chapter 153 People Behind This


    Maverick knew that Sarah''s death was not an ident.


    The police had officially announced that Sarah had notmitted suicide. Someone killed her.


    Since it was a homicide, all the people she had contacted before death were suspicious.


    Names on the contact list included the Kahls, Jayden, and ... Everly.


    The timing for Sarah''s death indicated that Everly was the most suspicious if it was indeed a homicide.


    She was the one with the motive to kill.


    Fortunately, after the forensic examination, the time of Sarah''s death was confirmed, of which Everly


    had evidence of her absence.


    Recently, her eyes had been injured. In addition, Parrish had received an operation. The Farleys had


    frequently gone to the hospital, where they were all monitored and shot by the surveince camera. At


    the time Sarah was killed, Everly was in the hospital.


    After the police confirmed that Everly''s alibi was valid, they soon stopped targeting her.


    However, even though she had only gone to the hospital recently, Everly still felt that she was being


    watched.


    She was still one of the suspects. After all, the police would also think that she could order a murder.


    Not only her but also Jayden was involved in this case.


    His suspicion was even greater than hers. The text Sarah had sent him before she died was quite


    misleading.


    What was worse, Jayden was Maverick''s closest assistant.


    Thus Maverick was also seen as a suspect.


    He could not leave the country now. But in terms of his social status as well as Lawrence''s strong


    social connections, he wasn''t detained by the police directly.


    Apart from them, Carolina waspletely exposed to the media this time.


    However, when Maverick got the data that the police controlled, he shook his head, "Carolina can''t be


    the one behind this."


    Lawrence lit a cigarette and squinted his eyes like a ruffian, "Uncle Maverick, why do you trust her so


    much? She is not so clean. She had stolen your business material before, remember? I''ll give her a


    lessonter. She has crossed the line."


    Maverick sneered, "Steal my things? She can''t. Don''t worry, I know what to do. At the very most, she


    probably paid Sarah to attack Everly in front of the media, but not to the point of killing her."


    Moreover, there was no need.


    What she only needed was to let Sarah leave. After Sarah left, she would definitely note back.


    Carolina had indeed given her a lot of money.


    Most importantly, if Carolina really wanted to kill someone, she wouldn''t be so stupid to make herself a


    suspect.


    Lawrence said, "In fact, I have also browsed these data. I agree that it wasn''t the Kahls. As for Alex,


    although he is very ambitious, he seldom did illegal things. He is very timid and most afraid of getting


    into trouble. In addition, he is quite superstitious. Every year, he contributed arge sum of money to


    the temple in the west. Such kind of people knows how to trick people, but he will never get himself


    involved. Plus they have plenty of ways to shut Sarah up rather than killing her."


    Maverick naturally agreed with this.


    "Previously, Hendrix said that other than the Kahls and the Rices, there seemed to have someone else


    aiming at me. I have a ballpark target, but I am notpletely sure as for now."


    Lawrence asked, "Uncle Maverick, you have a ballpark target? Who is it? Tell me. I''ll do some secret


    investigation. You know, Beth is a hacker. We can hack theirmunication devices directly. At that


    time, we can get everything we want."


    Maverick tapped the table and said in a serious tone, "The police are still watching you. Don''t forget


    that it''s illegal to be a hacker. Watch carefully and don''t cause any trouble."


    "Wow, I''ve never seen you being so concerned about someone. I''m a little touched," Lawrence


    ridiculed.


    Maverick nced at him indifferently, "I have met with Beth a few times. She is quite impulsive. The


    key is that Everly has a good rtionship with her. Thus I don''t want anything bad to happen to her,


    otherwise, Everly will be worried."


    Hearing this, Lawrence was lost of words.


    They were talking about serious affairs. What the hell was that?


    Lawrence could see the serious expression on Maverick''s face changed into a coquettish one in the


    blink of an eye.


    Just because he mentioned Aunt Everly.


    Jesus!


    Please stop it!


    However, about what he thought, Lawrence only dared to keep it in mind. Everyone could tell how


    much Maverick cared about Everly.


    Lawrence did not have a strong feeling of that before. But after what had happened this time, he could


    feel it.


    This topic was soon skipped. Maverick said, "Sarah''s death will go through legal procedures. I have


    investigated her family. They are not people easy to deal with, especially her father. Neither I nor the


    Kahls can get over this easily. Order someone to keep an eye on Alex. He will probably get Carolina


    away from this first with some certain connections."


    "OK," Lawrence nodded.


    "Tell Lucas to keep a low profiletely."


    Lawrence said, "Well, he is innocent about this." After all, Lucas was still his younger brother. Lawrence


    still spoke up for him, "Well, Uncle Maverick ... All that stuff''s in the past. I''ve already warned Lucas. He


    knows his ce. Could you just let it go?"


    Maverick didn''t want to keep what Lucas had done in mind at all. But Lucas'' behavior was just barely


    tolerable.


    "Do you know that he was there when Everly''s eyes were injured?"


    Hearing this, Lawrence fell silent.


    "Even if he was a passer-by, in that situation, he should have sent her to the hospital, instead of going


    away."


    "He''s narrow-minded. I''ll give him a serious lesson," Lawrence replied.


    Maverick did not continue.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Lawrence was really mad at Lucas.


    As a matter of fact, Maverick was well-known for being cold-blooded in the past. Normally he would get


    revenged, regardless of whether Lucas was his cousin or not.


    Thinking of this, Lawrence was d that he used to keep a good rtionship with Maverick. Otherwise,


    based on what Lucas had done and Maverick''s personality, Lucas would have to pay a heavy price for


    it.


    ...


    Since Maverick couldn''t go abroad, he had to have video conferences with his people in Italy for


    several hours every day.


    He got full control of his business no matter what.


    The reason why Alex was back in City C, there must be some sudden incidents.


    Den was still in Italy.


    They had tried to mess up with one of the big projects that Maverick invested in previously.


    Well when there was interest involved, there would always be a "loophole".


    Now that Alex was back, as to a person who only cared about profit like Den, he would easily be


    taken advantage of and it would surely lead to internal strife if someone fanned the mes.

 Chapter 154 Handsome and Romantic Man

    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,


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    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."

 Chapter 155 The Waller Family

    Chapter 155 The Waller Family


    Everly stood at the window at the end of the corridor and answered Maverick''s call.


    It was almost time for lunch. He asked her on the phone, "Have you eaten yet?"


    Everly hadn''t eaten yet. She didn''t eat the food from the hospital now, which was not to her liking.


    Gloria brought food over every day. Just now, she brought lunch. Everly could eat itter.


    "My mother brought it here. What about you?"


    Maverick directly told her, "I''ll have lunch with my grandfather."


    Everly knew that the rtionship between Maverick and the Lamont family was not very good. Since he


    suddenly had lunch with Levi, she naturally thought of the recent events.


    "Is it because of Sarah?"


    "No." Maverick directly denied, "He won''t take it to heart at all. It''s just a meal. Don''t think too much


    about it."


    "You told me before that your rtionship is not very good."


    "Well, this has little to do with lunch."


    "Well, are you busy in the afternoon?"


    Maverick seemed to ponder for a moment before saying, "I have to go to the police station. I have to


    follow up on Sarah''s matter at all times. If the policee to you recently, inform me immediately.


    There is no need to say too much. This matter has nothing to do with you, but they may ask you some


    questions."


    After a pause, he continued, "If you don''t want to deal with it, you can tell me. I will arrange it."


    Everly said, "There''s no need to go through so much trouble. I''m willing to cooperate with the


    necessary procedures. Now, everyone knows that she was murdered. In fact, I''m quite willing to


    cooperate with the investigation so that she can get justice."


    "You can do whatever you want, but at this critical juncture, pay attention. Can you remove the gauze


    today?"


    "Yes, the doctor will remove it for me this afternoon."


    "Don''t worry. Even if there''s a scar, it can be removed. I will help you find the best doctor."


    Everly teased him with a smile, "If I really have a scar, will you dislike me?"


    "What nonsense are you spouting?"


    "You are so eager to make me mend my scars."

    Maverick was speechless. At this time, he couldn''t find proper words.


    In the end, he said nervously, "Everly, how could I dislike you? That''s not what I meant."


    If not for Sarah''s sudden death, with Maverick''s personality, how could he let her off so easily?


    Sarah had injured Everly''s eyes, so he would definitely fight back.


    However, Sarah was dead, so it was meaningless.


    Everly was amused. Only then did Maverick realize that she was deliberately joking with him. "Are you


    kidding me?"


    "Are you really nervous?"


    "I was afraid you would be unhappy." Maverick smiled and said, "In the past, I really didn''t think that it


    was difficult to deal with women. Now, I think it was."


    "Do you think it''s difficult to deal with me?"


    "No matter how difficult it is, I still want you. Baby, I will pick you up in the evening. Take Edmond and


    Candy today. There is no one in the Farley''s now. I will talk to Edmond tonight."


    "Are you going to tell Edmond?" Everly paused, her tone serious.


    "I have to say it." Maverick considered a lot, "Didn''t I tell you before? Candy''s birthday ising. I


    thought that before Candy''s birthday, I should let Edmond know it. He is a sensible child. This is my


    responsibility. Just leave it to me."


    Everly thought of something. "Thest time you told me about Candy''s birthday, I didn''t tell you that


    actually, Edmond''s birthday is on the same day as Candy."


    "Really?" Maverick was really surprised.


    "Yes." Everly also felt that it was too much of a coincidence and said with a smile, "I thought it was


    really a coincidence before, but I have checked. They were indeed born on the same day."


    "Maybe it is destined."


    "I feel that Edmond won''t reject it too much. If you need me to cooperate, just tell me."


    "Just be a little more obedient."


    Everly''s tone was a little coquettish. "Obedient? I am not a child."


    "I hope that you are a child. I will raise you."


    She felt so sweet while she pretended toin.


    They talked on the phone for a long time. In the end, it was Gloria who asked her to hurry up and eat.


    Only then did she hang up the phone reluctantly.


    Gloria looked at her daughter and couldn''t help but mutter, "Are you in the honeymoon? You''re not


    young, but you are so affectionate. God."


    Everly was a little embarrassed by her mother''s words.


    She held at the new phone and talked back. "Mom, isn''t dating ... like this all the time? Besides, what''s


    the point of not dating like this?"


    "You even talked back. You used to be in a rtionship when you were in school, but I never saw you


    like this."


    At this point, Everly could not help but sigh. "You''re right. Lucas and I have known each other for so


    many years. At that time, it was me who chased after him. I really don''t feel this way."


    "So you have decided?"


    "What?"


    "About Maverick." Gloria nced at her daughter, thought for a moment, and said, "I''m not against you.


    Actually, about the man you choose, I only care about his character. I can see that he is a good and


    well-educated man. But, think about it carefully. There is a great distance between you two. I don''t want


    you to work too hard. I also asked around and found out that the family rtionship of the Lamont


    family is quiteplicated, and Maverick''s mother has been abroad all the time, right? I heard that she


    was the eldest daughter of the Waller family back then."


    Maverick had only roughly told her this.


    Everly said honestly, "Yes, Maverick''s mother has always been in Italy."


    "Did he tell you this?"


    "He mentioned a little."


    "The incident of the Waller family had caused a stir in City C back then. It was very tragic. However,


    what we know is only on the surface. Children who grew up in such an environment must have had a


    hard time. Don''t make it hard for yourself."


    "Mom, what are you talking about? Maverick treats me very well."


    Gloria asked, "What about Edmond''s biological father? Didn''t you ask your brother to find him? Have


    you thought about it?"


    Everly pursed her lips. Thinking about this, she should let her parents know about it sooner orter.


    She had only confirmed it yesterday and really had no time to say it today.


    Now that Gloria mentioned it, Everly gave it all and said, "I found Edmond''s biological father."


    "What? When? Who is it?"


    "It is Maverick."

 Chapter 156 I Have Never Forgotten About the Past

    Chapter 156 I Have Never Forgotten About the Past


    Parrish came out of the ward.


    Everly and Gloria had been talking outside for quite a while, and the food was getting cold, so Parrish


    came out to take a look.


    Who knew that he just heard Everly''s words.


    The couple was stunned.


    Gloria might be the cooler one. She had noticed that Edmond looked like Maverick. But she thought


    that it was impossible, and didn''t go deeper.


    The truth was out of her expectation, but reasonable. Therefore, she calmed down soon.


    On the other hand, Parrish was dumbfounded. After quite a while, he asked, "Maverick? Edmond''s


    N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    father is that Maverick?"


    Thankfully, that was not a bad thing. Otherwise, Parrish might have another heart attack. Everly went


    forward and helped her father to calm down. Then, she helped Parrish into the ward with Gloria. "Let''s


    go back to the room first," she said.


    After they went back to the room, Everly told her parents the whole story.


    When she was done, Parrish fell silent.


    Gloria sighed, "It is not Maverick''s fault. It was an ident. Now as I think about it, it might be fate that


    brings you together. But... how did it happen?"


    Everly didn''t say anything. She understood they needed some time to take this.


    Parrish, on the other hand, said in a muffled voice, "Whoever the child''s father is, Edmond is a Farley.


    No matter how powerful the Lamont family is, it can''t change this fact. Moreover, you have only


    checked the kids'' birth time now. I think you should do a DNA test to confirm it."


    Gloria agreed. She understood the elders were cautious about the bloodline. Moreover, it had already


    been five years since that night. She did need to do a DNA test to stay clear of any future troubles.


    Everly also knew what her parents were worried about.


    However, Maverick did not mention this kind of thing, how could she say it?


    ...


    At the same time, Maverick was also with his family, his grandfather. It should be the first time that Levi


    and he had a meal face to face.


    Levi was a little happy. Maverick always had a bad rtionship with them. Now that he was willing to


    have a meal with him, it meant that everything was negotiable.


    After all, he came back. No matter what, blood was thicker than water.


    Levi didn''t want to be too aggressive. He tried to speak in a tender way, "A lot of things have happened


    recently, do you want to talk about these with me?"


    Maverick sat still.


    He didn''t say anything but lit a cigarette. He took two puffs and looked at the old man in front of him.


    When he was still a child, he was afraid of this man.


    Probably only Maverick himself knew this.


    At that time, Levi was incredibly mighty.


    A single word from him could easily exclude his mother and him from the Lamonts. At that time,


    Maverick was full of resentment, but he was unable to release it.


    After all, these happened, Levi was now sitting in front of him and asking him if he had anything to talk


    about with this so-called grandfather.


    Maverick suddenly felt a little funny.


    Levi should never underestimate the power of youth.


    In the old days, he badly wanted the chance of talking with his grandfather.


    But Levi never gave him a chance.


    Now, Levi condescended to hear his thoughts, but he did not care about this anymore.


    Maverick looked aloof and cold. In the long awkward silence, Levi was getting embarrassed. He said


    crossly, "Now everyone is talking about that Sarah. I know that you have an affair with a Farley girl. And


    everyone outside said that woman used to be Lucas'' girlfriend. Is that true? You..."


    "What do you want to say?" Maverick knew what the old man would say next. He frowned and


    interrupted Levi, "If you have something to say, just say it. You are the one who asked me out here. You


    should have something to say to me. As for me, I have nothing to talk to you."


    Levi''s expression suddenly changed. His gray mustache seemed to bristle with indignation. "How dare


    you talk to me like this? I''m your grandfather!" he snapped.


    "Family does not have to be from blood," said Maverick indifferently. He dusted off his cigarette and


    snorted, "For the years of living alone, I met many kind old men who treated me as their grandson. I do


    respect them and never speak to them like this. I also treat them as my grandfather. It is not because of


    their status or age but because they also respect me."


    "Maverick, you are a Lamont. This is undeniable! True, you are now the only one in charge of the


    Lamont Group. But remember, the group belongs to the whole Lamont family. If the brunches of the


    Lamont family usurp the power, you will also be in trouble."


    "Do you think I care about the position of CEO of the Lamont Group?"


    Levi was stunned.


    "When I took over it, it was on the verge of bankruptcy. You probably don''t know about it, do you? I


    used my personal assets to pay off the group''s debts. Do you think that the Lamont Group is still the


    same greatmercial empire as it used to be?"


    "It is still among the best!"


    "So what? Do you still think that your Lamont Group is unparalleled?"


    "If you look down on the Lamont Group, don''t steal the power from your father and brother," Levi


    snorted.


    Maverick''s face was cold. "I steal the power? If your son is good at business, you wouldn''t have to work


    so hard in the past few years. If it wasn''t because I needed the Lamont Group to do something, do you


    think I will save it? Don''t worry, one Lamont Group is not enough to make me jealous. Money has never


    been my goal," he sneered.


    Levi''s face turned red. He red at Maverick and said indignantly, "So what is your goal? Under a


    woman''s dress? You are thest one who can judge your useless father. You are all the same! Let me


    tell you, it is impossible for a woman who has given birth to a child to be the mistress of the Lamont


    family. I have investigated that Everly. That Hendrix is probably a social climber and asked his sister to


    seduce you. And you..."


    "Enough!"


    Maverick couldn''t bear him anymore. With a cold look, he said word by word, "If you are looking for me


    to show off your noble family, just save it. I have never forgotten the past."


    Levi froze, the corners of his mouth twitched.

 Chapter 157 You Prepared a Birthday Party for Candy?

    Chapter 157 You Prepared a Birthday Party for Candy?


    He had never forgotten what happened in the past.


    At the age of seven, he was supposed to be the golden boy but deprived of all privileges then.


    Young and ignorant, he had no ability to resist.


    At that time, the Waller family was kind and tolerant. They thought that they just needed to care their


    own business since the two families were not in a league.


    However, some people just pretended to be kind.


    Actually, they would stop at nothing to seek benefits.


    The past memory had been buried in Maverick''s heart for many years.


    His merciless words pushed Levi away.


    In the end, who would respect an elder who never fulfilled his responsibility?


    Levi was clear about everything but always adopted a condescending manner. He would be least


    willing to admit that what he had done was dead wrong.


    But Maverick no longer cared about these.


    He hadn''t achieved what he wanted yet, so he would not care about the attitude of the Lamont family.


    As he lit the third cigarette in silence, those memories, blurring or clear, all crowded in his mind.


    He thought that he had already been numb, but still felt hatred when recalling the past.


    He called Kailey who was far away in Italy.


    Kailey was a little astonished, due to the timeg, by her son''s sudden call, since Maverick seldom


    made phone calls before. But he would fly to visit his mother once or twice a month.


    Kailey wondered if there was something wrong. She had heard about some news about what


    happened at home. "Maverick?"


    "Mom, how have you been these days?"


    "I''m pretty much the same. Don''t worry. Miss Candy is engaging in a family issue and has no time to


    bother me. Her brother seems to havee back and arranged a blind date for her."


    Maverick spoke as though he hardly heard her, "I''ve been busy with domestic business affairs for the


    past two years and seldom have time to take care of you. Despite better health, you have suffered a lot


    over the years. And you overcame all the difficulties out of worrying about me."


    Kailey said with a smile, "What''s wrong? Why are you suddenly so sad? I''m doing well, but you have


    gone through so many things recently. I understand you know what you want. Did youe back a few


    days ago?"


    "Well, I came back for some business problems. But the schedule was so tight that I hardly had time to


    eat dinner with you, mom."


    "Are you serious about... well, Miss Everly?" Kailey asked.


    Maverick thought for a moment and whispered, "I will take Everly to see you after the matter is settled."


    His meaning was very clear.


    Kailey sighed, "I used to worry that you were not interested in women. But when you are in love with


    someone, I''m a bit at a loss."


    "Mom, don''t think too much. Just take care of yourself." Maverick extinguished the cigarette in his hand


    and then whispered, "Candy''s birthday ising soon and my work will be finished then. I''ll take her


    back to Italy and celebrate her birthday with you. "


    Kailey certainly agreed.


    Maverick added, "There''s also a child."


    Kailey was stunned by his words. She knew that Everly had a five-year-old son.


    It was not difficult to find that Everly has a son and she had never deliberately concealed anything.


    Therefore, Kailey got it quickly, wondering that what Maverick mentioned was Everly''s son.


    She was very reasonable, "As long as you are determined, I won''t interfere with your choice. Although I


    have never seen her before, I believe that the person you like must be an excellent woman. And her


    son must be a good boy."


    Maverick was gonna to say yes.


    Because the boy was Kailey''s grandson.


    But then he thought, it was better to tell the secret face to face than on the phone.


    They continued talking for a while before hanging up the phone.


    Maverick looked at the untouched dishes on the table andughed grimly. The tenderness shown on


    the phone had disappeared. His eyes were cold with hatred.


    Then he took his coat and got up to leave.


    When they reached the parking lot, they unexpectedly saw Zane.


    It had been quite a while since they had met.


    Maverick saw that Zane was wheeled by a servant of the Lamont family. They got out of another


    elevator, followed by a middle-aged woman.


    The woman lowered her head and said something to Zane whose indifferent face showed a rare soft


    expression. They were not far away from him, so Maverick overheard their conversation even though


    he was reluctant to do so.


    The woman was saying, "Thank you for taking care of the Carter family for so many years. I don''t know


    what we have done to deserve it. I am overwhelmed to say... My daughter knows all your efforts and


    she will not me you anymore."


    Zane: "Auntie, take care of yourself. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."


    "I don''t need anything. Mr. Zane, you don''t need to do so much for me. Or I will feel sorry for your


    legs..."


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    "It''s fine. I''m already used to it."


    "Mr. Zane, you should take good care of yourself. Our daughter has no luck and she has let you down."


    "Auntie, don''t say that."


    ...


    The woman''s expression froze when she saw Maverick standing over there, then she quickly said, "So


    I''m just gonna go."


    Zane also saw Maverick and was not surprised. He asked someone to send the middle-aged woman


    and then wheeled himself towards Maverick.


    "What a coincidence, you''re here too!"


    Maverick was gonna to say he came here with Levi, but when the words came to his mouth, he just


    said, "Well, Ie over for a meal."


    "Alone?"


    "Yes."


    Zane looked at him. Although Zane looked very calm, his eyes revealed some inexplicable emotions.


    But Maverick didn''t take it to heart.


    Zane said, "It seems that you also remember. I was quite surprised and thought that you had forgotten


    everything."


    Maverick was stunned for a moment, but soon got it and frowned, "Zane, you are overthinking. Our


    meet today is just a coincidence. Actually, it is not urate to say I had never forgotten this matter.


    Don''t think too much about it. I wouldn''t suggest such a thing. I didn''t suggest it before. How can I


    suggest it now?"


    Zane held the arms on both sides of the wheelchair with hands clenched.


    But his expression seemed to reveal that he was gradually rxed.


    "Do you remember that person?"


    Maverick did not know how to answer, so he simply changed the topic, "I heard that you prepared a


    birthday party for Candy?"

 Chapter 158 Dont Always Think About Condemning Others to Make Yourself Bett

    Chapter 158 Don''t Always Think About Condemning Others to Make Yourself Bett


    Zane nodded.


    "Candy is already five years old. You can''t keep going on like this, right? I know that it''s a little difficult


    for you to have a good chat with our family members. Since I''m your brother, there''s a need for me to


    make a move about this matter."


    Maverick''s feelings for Zane were very strange.


    It was not much to say whether there was family affection or not.


    Maverick grew up in Italy since he was a child.


    As for Zane''s mother, to put it bluntly, she was also a home wrecker back then.


    Of course, Zane''s mother also did not end up well. However, unlike Maverick, Zane became the young


    master of the Lamont family. Regardless of whether he had real power or not, in short, he had not been


    doing too bad these years.


    Moreover, Maverick also knew that when he became the president of the Lamont Group, Zane did not


    express his disagreement, as if he was suppressed. In fact, he had his own career.


    Maverick just did not reveal it.


    Zane''s personality was more reserved than him, which had a lot to do with growing up in an


    environment like the Lamont family.


    But if you were to say whether Maverick had any doubts, then there must be.


    Zane and Maverick were both very wary people.


    However, something had indeed happened back then. When Maverick saw Zane sitting in a


    wheelchair, he could not help but feel guilty.


    Probably noticing that Maverick''s eyes were fixed on his legs, Zane smiled gently and put his hands on


    it. Then Zane whispered, "You don''t have to feel sorry for me. It has been many years. Besides, I have


    never med you. As for Candy, I really hope she can get her family name right. She is a member of


    the Lamont family anyway, but I won''t force you to do anything. Just think about it carefully. If you


    disagree with this, I will alsomunicate with grandfather."


    Maverick said nothing.


    Zane nced at him and said, "Then I will go back first."


    Maverick would not call Zane brother in private. After all, he was older than Zane. "You know that a lot


    of things have happened recently. As for Candy''s birthday, I don''t intend to make a big deal out of it."


    Maverick said.


    Zane pondered for a moment before replying, "Sure, I''ll get someone to cancel everything I''ve


    arranged."


    "I''m sorry."


    "It''s my fault for being inconsiderate," Zane said, "I should first ask you about your opinion, although I


    indeed wanted to give you a surprise."


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Maverick was silent.


    Zane noticed that Maverick was a little repulsed, so he didn''t say anything else. Just as his driver


    arrived, Zane said to Maverick before he got into the car, "You must recognize the middle-aged woman


    before. Her life is not easy now, but she and her other family members don''t have any ill intentions


    towards us. Don''t take it to heart. It has been many years, and I have forgotten about it. Maybe it''s a


    habit that every year when ites to this day, I wille over and visit them by the way."


    Maverick just remembered what day it was.


    His thin lips pressed down slightly. He originally wanted to say something, but he didn''t know if it was


    because he never mentioned what had happened. After a long time, when he faced Zane, he found it


    hard to speak.


    In the end, he only watched Zane drive away and didn''t say much.


    However, before he got into the car, he met the middle-aged woman who had just followed Zane out.


    She was obviously waiting for him. Maverick was not too surprised. It was just that he had not met her


    for many years. In fact, he was not cold-blooded. What happened back then was just an ident.


    Maverick never felt that he needed to be responsible for that ident.


    If he felt guilty, he would only feel sorry for Zane.


    "Mr. Maverick."


    The middle-aged woman said first.


    Maverick did not have a deep impression of her, but looking at this woman''s dress, she must have lived


    a general life these years and became older a lot.


    Maverick nodded.


    The woman said, "Mr. Maverick, do you still remember me?"


    "Ms. Amy," Of course, he remembered. He paused and said in a low voice, "I don''t expect to meet you


    today."


    The woman said, "I don''t expect it either. I am old, but I am notpletely out of line with society.


    Recently, there has been a lot of news about Mr. Maverick, and it has been made known. It reminds me


    of the past."


    Maverick''s eyebrows moved slightly and his voice lowered a little, "What do you want to say?"


    "Is what I want to say important? All these years, it was Mr. Zane who has been taking care of us. I


    know that you do not feel you have done anything wrong, but you were so cruel to my daughter. Don''t


    you feel a little bit guilty?"


    Maverick frowned slightly.


    "What do you want me to do? I''m sorry. There are many things between people that require mutual


    affection. If it''s something that I do not want, I will not ept it. I deeply sympathize with what


    happened to your daughter back then, but the Lamont family had already given you a lot of


    "Mr. Maverick, you are very positive. Mr. Zane''s legs have beenme for so many years, but you don''t


    seem to have any reaction." The woman said.


    Maverick felt that he was not willing to argue with a woman.


    Not to mention, she was a middle-aged woman.


    However, what Ms. Amy just said indeed disturbed Maverick to some extent.


    A trace ofpassion in his heart now disappeared. Maverick did not want to say anything else.


    Before he turned around and left, he only said coldly, "There are many things that you should think


    about whether you are wrong or not, instead of shifting the me to other shoulders, so that you can


    live a better life. I will be responsible for what I''ve done. If it is something I have never thought of, I don''t


    need to take responsibility. And Ms. Amy, I advise you to quit while you are ahead. Zane is indeed soft-


    hearted, but he is not stupid."


    After he finished speaking, he directly opened the car door and drove away.


    However, he could not help but feel a little irritated.


    Ms. Amy... today was the death anniversary of her daughter.


    If it wasn''t for the fact that he had just met Zane and Ms. Amy, Maverick would have indeed forgotten


    this day.


    He remembered Emely.


    Emely was the woman that Zane liked, but unfortunately, Emely had liked Maverick back then.


    Moreover, she had a bitter crush on Maverick and did not dare to confess. However, she wanted to get


    close to Maverick through Zane.


    Maverick was not very keen on women in the past.


    What he had experienced when he was a child made him stay in Italy all the time. He only thought


    about how to be sessful. How could he have time for romance?


    Moreover, there were a lot of women around him. At that time, Maverick did not even remember much


    of Emely''s facial features.


    So when Emely died, Maverick was basically unmoved.


    It was onlyter that he found out he was between Emely and Zane.

 Chapter 159 The Croke family is very Helpful to You

    Chapter 159 The Croke family is very Helpful to You


    Maverick was actually a little innocent about this.


    Moreover, Emely was the woman that Zane liked very much. After Emely passed away, Zane had


    never had a girlfriend. Up to now, the Lamont family has not had a hostess. Zane''s mother also died in


    that car ident in her early years, so no one urged him to get married.


    Zane''s personality was bing more and more solitary.


    Maverick thought of the recent events, Emely and thought about what he had just seen and heard.


    Then, he thought about the person he and Lawrence both suspected.


    Maverick stopped the car by the side of the road and opened the window, as his eyes became deep.


    He rested his elbow on the window, his slender fingers tapping against it sometimes.


    As for whether he suspected Zane, with Maverick''s cautious personality, he definitely doubted it.


    But now that he thought about it again, it seemed to be somewhat illusory.


    In fact, it is not absolute trust, but it is missing the so-called evidence. After all, there are many things


    that you can''t judge by your intuitions.


    Maverick lit a cigarette, took two puffs, narrowed his eyes and breathed in and out the smoke. He


    recalled many things.


    No matter what, the most important thing now was to solve Sarah''s matter.


    If the person behind this matter was Zane, then it could only mean that he had hidden himself very


    deeply, and Sarah''s matter was definitely only the beginning.


    Maverick dusted the cigarette, waited for the cigarette to burn out, then drove away.


    ...


    At the same time, Zane arrived in the Lamont''s.


    When Zane got out of the car, the servants had alreadye over and helped him fix the wheelchair.


    Then, they helped Zane sat in the wheelchair.


    When the butler pushed Zane in the house, he whispered, "Mr. Will is back. Mr. Levi is also here


    today."


    Zane''s expression paused for a moment, and then nodded.


    The butler has been taking care of Zane because Will was often not at home. In fact, the Lamont family


    was now under Zane''s care. Although there weren''t many people, the Lamont family was still a big


    family and needed to be managed by someone.


    Zane was now the head of the Lamont family.


    Of course, the butler was more inclined to Zane.


    When the butler pushed the wheelchair to the door, he leaned over and whispered in Zane''s ear, "It


    seems to have something to do with the birthday banquet that you prepared for Candy. But I saw that


    Levi was not in a good mood when he came over. From what I heard, he just had a meal with Maverick,


    and it was not very happy."


    Zane thought about how he had just met Maverick and it seemed that he was eating with grandfather.


    There was a cold glint in Zane''s eyes, but he was good at disguising himself all year round, so it was


    not easy for others to discover anything.


    "Got it. You can leave now. Have the kitchen prepare some food that Grandpa likes."


    "Yes, Mr. Zane," the butler nodded.


    "When Zane pushed his wheelchair in, he heard his father snorted coldly and said, "Maverick''s tough is


    only temporary, and our family doesn''t only have one sessor. Don''t worry, Dad, now he is young. If


    we don''t give him some suffering, how will he know what respect is? If it wasn''t for the fact that he has


    the blood of the Lamont family, I wouldn''t hand thepany to him."


    Levi''s tone waspletely disdainful. "If you have the ability, then don''t let him easily take away the


    Lamont Group. What do you think our Group is? A cabbage in the market?"


    Will had always been the weak one in the Lamont family. In other words, he could only show off his


    skills in front of others. Levi had always despised this son, but there was nothing he could do. Levi only


    had Will this son, and his daughters were all married off. It was because Maverick had nopetitors


    that he could directly became the president of the Lamont Group.

    When Levi saw Zanee in, the expression on his face was slightly restrained.


    Levi couldn''t show the arrogance of an elder on Maverick, but in front of Zane, the pride of an elder


    could be vividly disyed, so he thought he was very good to Zane.


    "It''s Zane."


    "Grandpa."


    "Come over here. How are you feeling? Today, I know it''s that girl''s death anniversary. You are a


    lovesick person. You are not young anymore. After so many years, it should be time to let it go. Now,


    the Lamont family is in trouble internally and externally. Do you want to listen to my opinions?"


    Levi just went straight to the point.


    The expression on Zane''s face remained unchanged, and he said with a gentle voice. "Grandpa, if you


    have something to say, just say it."


    "Speaking of the descendant of our family, I like you the most. I know that you don''t care about those


    fame and wealth. Seeing Maverick being so arrogant, you have always kept tolerant. But now?


    Because of a messy woman, rumors are flying everywhere outside. Grandpa really doesn''t like people


    talking about our family like this."


    Zane said, "Grandpa, I believe Maverick doesn''t like these rumors either. Moreover, this matter also


    has something to do with the Kahl and Rice families. We shouldn''t only me Maverick for it."


    "You still speak up for him!"


    Levi snorted and said furiously, "Originally, we keep a good rtionship with the Kahl and Rice families.


    It is all Zane''s fault that he had to provoke Alex and Den who are also wolves. Now that so many


    things have happened, I won''t allow him to continue doing this. I still have a portion of the Lamont


    Group shares. In addition, two years ago, I asked your father to set up anotherpany outside and it


    attracted a lot of odd lots of the Lamont Group. In short, I will transfer these to youter."


    "Grandpa, you know that I have no intention of managing thepany." Zane replied.


    Levi said, "But you are the young master of the Lamont family. Moreover, your mother also doesn''t


    want you to sit in a wheelchair every day and grow flowers in this vi."


    Zane whispered, "I don''t want to be enemies with Maverick."


    Levi asked, "How is this called being enemies? Then why didn''t he think about you when he pushed


    you down?"


    "Grandpa, give me some time to think about it." Zane answered.


    "There''s no need to think about it. It''s time to let Maverick know that our family still has better


    sessors. As his elder brother, isn''t it enough to consider him?"


    Levi said, "That''s it. I''ve already decided. I know you don''t like the daughter from the Kahl family. I have


    made an appointment for you to visit the third girl from the Croke family. She just came back from


    abroad and looks pretty. More importantly, she''s very outgoing. Remember the Croke family is very


    helpful to you now."

    Chapter 160 A Call Record Was Deleted


    Zane remained silent.


    Levi kept saying, "You should listen to my arrangements about this. I always believe that you will have


    a sessful career. You are still so young. Even though you can''t walk, you have other ways. You have


    been so depressed during the past few years. I haven''t made anyments about that. But you


    should cheer up from now on."


    Zane didn''t express his opinion, but he didn''t directly oppose Levi.


    They had dinner at the Lamont''s. It seemed that they were close. But the truth was that they were not


    intimate.


    It was awkward.


    Finally, they finished dinner. Levi didn''t stay long. Although Maverick didn''t show any respect to Levi,


    Levi regained his confidence here.


    Levi looked down on Will and thought that he was useless. In fact, they two had some things in


    As Levi left, Will pulled Zane and said, "Your grandfather came here for you."


    "Yes, I know."


    "He came for what he told you just now. I know that he went to find Maverick in the afternoon and was


    rejected."


    Zane nced at Will but did not say anything. He called the butler over to push him upstairs.


    Seeing that Zane did not take his words seriously, Will felt ufortable. As a member of the Lamont


    family, Will did notck money, but he had no power. During these days, so many things happened but


    he couldn''t say a word at all.


    He thought that Levi hade today to let him regain power.


    It was not easy to get along with Levi. They couldn''t control what Maverick did when he was abroad.


    But at home, Maverick was no match for Levi in terms of connections.


    But it didn''t happen.


    Levi didn''t consider Will. Instead, Levi wanted Zane to be in charge of power. All of them looked down


    on Will.


    The more Will thought about it, the more unwilling he felt. He mocked Zane, "You are good at acting.


    Others may not know your ideas, but I am your father and I know that you are ambitious. You can''t beat


    Maverick in a head-on fight, so you want to beat him in a roundabout way. This time, you are quite


    clever. It is good timing. Levi thought of you and wanted you to be in charge of power."


    Zane was at the corner on the second floor.


    Hearing Will''s words, he pressed his hands on the wheelchair''s wheels.


    The butler nodded and left.


    Zane sat in his wheelchair and tilted his head slightly, looking down at Will who was standing


    downstairs with a dark gaze.


    "Dad, we are a family. What are you talking about? Your words will influence our rtionship. I''m your


    son, not your enemy. You have to remember this."


    His words were like a cold wind blowing down from the stairs.


    Will chickened out a little.


    He knew very well that both of his two sons did bad things. One did it on the surface, but another did it


    in the dark.


    Will saw something in Zane''s eyes.


    That was like a cold hell.


    After Zane left for a long time, Will recovered from the shock and got goosebumps.


    He wondered, "Is Zane really my son?"


    ...


    Everly removed her stitches at the hospital in the afternoon.


    She was a little nervous. She was afraid that it would hurt. In fact, she did not hurt at all.


    She looked into the mirror and found that the scar was obvious. She had white skin, but the scar was


    red. It looked a little weird.


    She thought that she might not go out recently. If she wanted to go outter, she would have to wear


    sunsses.


    After looking at the mirror in the bathroom for a long time, she found Beth here.


    "You removed your stitches?" Beth did not go out for the past few days. Lawrence didn''t allow her to go


    out because of Sarah''s death. He was worried that Beth would be implicated.


    They argued for a few days. Finally, he agreed to let here and see Everly.


    "Well, how is it? Is it ugly?" Everly was disappointed.


    Beth smiled and said, "Not ugly. If you want to remove this scar, it is very simple. Don''t worry."


    "I have adjusted it. Besides, Sarah is already dead. Why are you here all of a sudden?" Everly sighed.


    Beth said, "I came to see you. By the way, I have something to tell you."


    "About Sarah?"


    "Yes, after her ident, I investigated her phone. But it is almost the same as the information that the


    police have. Their technology is limited, so they haven''t found that a call record was deleted in Sarah''s


    phone. I asked my friend to get it through a certain high-end technology. But we couldn''t see the


    number. However, my friend said that it is a domestic number."


    This was a huge discovery.


    Everly was surprised. She used to trust Beth very much. Now, she liked Beth even more, "Beth, it''s a


    pity that you are not a police officer."


    Beth''s eyes darkened, "I used to want to be a police officer. Do you remember? I used to have a dream


    of being a policewoman."


    Everly nodded her head.


    Because of her rtionship with Lawrence, Beth failed to fulfill her dream.


    Then, Beth started to learn about theputer program. If she wanted to know something, she could


    find it herself.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "I know that the police have announced that Sarah was murdered. The suspect seems to be Jayden.


    But he won''t kill anyone."


    Beth said, "Of course not. He is just a scapegoat. It seems that he has been detained at the police


    station."


    "Do you have a way?"


    "I can''t provide this kind of evidence. I will be in trouble. I came to tell you that you can talk to Maverick.


    Lawrence told me that Maverick also had doubts. It seemed that someone was controlling this matter.


    Sarah''s death isn''t a coincidence. What''s the purpose of that person? I don''t understand."


    Everly thought for a moment and asked, "Are theying for me?"


    "I don''t think they had to take Sarah''s life if they areing for you. You have a son and a family. If it''s


    for you, you have an alibi. They are noting for you."


    Everly''s heart beat faster, "Then it''s for Maverick."


    Beth raised her eyebrows and said, "I think so. Maybe Sarah is just a fuse. Who has the greatest


    benefit in this is the ringleader."

 Chapter 161 Sweet Talk

    Chapter 161 Sweet Talk


    It was a huge wake-up call to Everly.


    She had always med herself for Sarah''s tragedy. So she could not understand why someone


    murdered Sarah.


    She had thought that the true target was her, and the No. 1 suspects were the Kahl sisters.


    But she still had an intuition that there was something wrong. Beth''s words reminded her. Sarah''s death


    was moreplicated than she thought.


    If someone took advantage of this case to attack Maverick, the suspects would not only be the Karl


    sisters.


    The murders still could be them, but ording to what Beth said, there should be someone else


    behind.


    All of a sudden, she felt her life filled with danger.


    Everly was still pondering about this case when Maverick came over in the afternoon. When she saw


    Maverick, she immediately asked about Sarah''s case.


    "It''s still the same. Don''t worry too much about this."


    Everly told Maverick everything that she had heard from Beth and concluded, "Beth is right. Do you


    have any suspects?"


    Maverick did not know that there was a delete call. He was surprised by Beth''s techniques.


    He had suspected someone. With Beth''s help, he got closer to the truth.


    However, it was tooplicated about the Lamont family. And there was still a lot of uncertainty about


    this case. He did not want Everly to worry about it.


    "Don''t worry, Everly. I know what I am doing. Promise me to take good care of yourself. And the most


    important thing for me now is about Edmond."


    Maverick sessfully changed the topic.


    Everly said, "I get discharged now. Edmond and Candy are in the Farley''s. Let''s go pick them up."


    "The day after tomorrow is Candy''s birthday. I can''t go abroad now. I n to go to Italy after her


    birthday."


    Everly asked, "You can leave the day after tomorrow?"


    "I''ll think of a way. Don''t worry. How about bringing the twins and living with me?"


    Everly thought about it and said, "I told my parents that you''re Edmond''s father. They understood but


    still need more time to ept it. This is all happening so fast for them. My dad remains a stable


    condition. You may talk to him first."


    Maverick agreed without any hesitation, "Alright."


    But Everly was a little worried. "My dad can be tough. He has some misunderstandings about you. If he


    is out of temper, you..."


    "As my wife''smand. Don''t worry, I can handle it."


    Heat crept into Everly''s cheeks. She reached out to cover his mouth. "Who is your wife? Don''t call me


    that. My dad may beat you."


    "He should beat me up. I owe you and the kids too much. Moreover, you are your father''s baby doll and


    I am the one who made you suffer. No matter how mad he will be at me, I should suffer," Maverick said


    seriously.


    Everly also knew that Maverick med himself ever since he found out about what happened five


    years ago. He was a proud and strong person. He fell in love with her before he knew what happened


    back then. He chose to stay with her before he knew that they had a five-year-old son and knew the


    nk five years.


    After knowing all of these, he had a guilty conscience for them.


    Everly reached her arms around Maverick''s waist and whispered, "Don''t think about this. I was the one


    who insisted on having the kids. I know that you might not like to hear me say this. But at that time, I


    didn''t know who the father of the child was at all. It was just a gamble. All these years, I have never


    thought of looking for that man. I am not exactly meless in this. Besides, it was me who was drunk


    back then and pestered you. You don''t owe me anything."


    "Are youforting me?" Maverick pinched her face.


    "Can''t I speak freely now?"


    "Babe, you can say whatever you want to say. But I am a man. I should shoulder these. Alright, I will go


    to visit your father. Wait for me here, okay?"


    Everly nodded.


    They held each other close for a while. Then, Maverick went to the next ward and saw Parrish alone.


    It didn''t take long. Everly was quite worried at first. But Maverick returned in half an hour. Everly saw


    that there were no scars on his face and heaved a sigh of relief.


    Maverick knew what she was worried about and could not help butugh, "What, are you still worrying


    that your father will beat me?"


    "A little," Everly nodded. She nced at him and asked "You seem to be quite rxed. What did my


    dad say?"


    "He asked me to marry you earlier." Everly didn''t know if Maverick was kidding.


    Her heart skipped a beat. She mumbled, "I didn''t say yes. Don''t listen to my dad."


    "If you don''t marry me, who else do you want to marry?"


    "You!"


    "What? Our son is already 5 years old. Of course, you should marry me. After this case is over, let''s


    register our marriage first."


    "Did my dad really say that?" Everly was a little confused.


    "What else?"


    "It happens too fast..."


    "Too fast?" Maverick leaned to her, "I nevere too fast."


    It was only then that Everly realized that he was teasing her. She blushed and said angrily, "You are so


    annoying!"


    "You seem to like this a lot."


    The man''s voice was lower. His eyes seemed to flicker. For a moment, Everly was a little afraid. She


    hurriedly pushed his chest, almost begging for mercy, "Don''t do that... My... My waist is still very sore.


    Can you not do this in the daytime?"


    Maverick chuckled, "Everly, I didn''t say or do anything. Are you thinking too much?"


    "Maverick, you are very hateful." Everly stamped her feet. She felt that she was fooled around.


    "Alright, alright. It''s all my fault. I should never tease you like this. I just wanted to make you smile. You


    look prettier when you smile."


    "You mean I''m ugly if I don''t smile?"


    "No matter what you look like, you are always my darling?"


    Everly thought this man was trying to sweet-talk her. In the past, she always thought that he was cold


    and unapproachable. She waspletely wrong.


    But when she thought she was the only one who could see this side of him, joy danced through her


    heart.


    Maverick asked his assistant to settle the discharge formalities after they prepared. Then he drove to


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    the Farley''s to pick up the two kids.


    Although it was only two days since thest day they met, Candy badly missed her father. She was so


    d and hugged Maverick''s neck closer to kiss him.


    Edmond was also very happy to see Maverick.


    "Uncle Maverick!" he greeted Maverick happily. Maverick thought he would never be happy again with


    the title of "uncle".

 Chapter 162 Thank You for Taking Care of Your Mommy

    Chapter 162 Thank You for Taking Care of Your Mommy


    Everly chatted with Edmond for a while, and then she went upstairs to pack up some clothes for him.


    She thought that since Candy''s birthday wasing soon, she should prepare a birthday present for


    Candy.


    But Candycked for nothing and she didn''t know what she could offer Candy as a gift.


    Edmond''s birthday was also the day after tomorrow. What gift should she prepare for him?


    When she was in the US, she would present Edmond with a model he liked every year. But now,


    Maverick gave Edmond a lot as if he wanted to give all the models to Edmond at once. It was true that


    blood was thicker than water. They had the same preferences.


    Everly was a little distressed. She couldn''t take Edmond out as it was not peaceful outside now.


    Maverick was also distressed.


    It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.


    He had thought about how tomunicate with Edmond many times before. Their previous exchanges


    were pretty good so he was sure that Edmond liked him.


    However, he still couldn''t speak out some of his thought deep in his mind.


    Candy had gone to the bathroom. Maverick and Edmond were in the living room. But Maverick, who


    had always been sessful in the business world, was now a little stiff. He squeezed his hands for five


    minutes and couldn''t say a word.


    He kept looking at Maverick.


    Something suddenly urred to him. Edmond was his son. No wonder he had always felt a sense of


    familiarity before.


    Edmond looked like him much when he was young. Maverick felt warm in his heart.


    Edmond was also looking at him with his big eyes full of trust.


    Maverick was softened by Edmond''s gaze. He let Edmond sit on hisp. But Edmond was a little


    unhappy. He struggled and said, "Uncle Maverick, I''m not Candy. If you hugged me like this, I won''t


    look like a man."


    Maverickughed, "You are still young. It is normal."


    "No, I am a man. Mommy won''t hug me like this in the past."


    "Why?"


    "Because it is overprotection. I should be the one to protect Mommy."


    Hearing that, Maverick felt sad, "How is your life in the US?"


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Maverick had discussed that topic asionally before, but they had never talked about it seriously.


    However, Edmond was still young, so he couldn''t understand the deep meaning. He told the truth


    directly, "I don''t like the US, but I have lived there for five years. Mommy has to work and take care of


    me. Although there is a maid at home, Mommy is very tired. So I hope that a handsome man can marry


    and protect her."


    "Has your Mommy had admirers?"


    "Yes. Many," Edmond was proud of that. Maverick just asked casually. But Edmond''s answer made him


    a little flustered. Edmond continued, "But they are all foreigners. Mommy said that she will take me


    home in the future. She won''t marry foreigners. I don''t like them either. Mommy is so beautiful. Only


    you are worthy of her."


    Maverick was quite satisfied. But it was not the main point. He asked, "There are many admirers?"


    "Don''t have to be jealous. Mommy doesn''t like them."


    "You know what jealousy is?" Maverick raised his eyebrow.


    "You like Mommy very much, right? I know it. My Mommy is a kind person. Uncle Maverick, your taste


    is good."


    Although Maverick admitted that Everly was good, when Edmond was boasting, heughed out loud, "I


    know. I will take good care of your mommy and you in the future."


    Edmond nodded vigorously, "Then you have to work hard."


    "Can you tell me something unforgettable in America?"


    Edmond tried hard to think about it and said, "There''s nothing unforgettable. I don''t like the food, as


    well as the children there. They said that I am a bad child without a daddy and don''t y with me. They


    always take my things away without my permission. No matter if it''s a boy or a girl, they all look down


    on me. They think that I am a weakling. I will be strong and defeat them in the future."


    Maverick could sense Edmond''s unwillingness and grievance in his words.


    Tears were welling up in his eyes.


    The feeling was hard to describe.


    He wished he could travel back and tell everyone that Edmond had a father and no one could look


    down on him.


    But no time machine allowed people to travel through in reality.


    He hugged Edmond and gently kissed Edmond on the head, "You are so brave, powerful, and will be


    your mother''s pride. Thank you, Edmond. I will take care of your mother in the future. Thank you for


    being by her side all these years."


    His words were filled with emotions.


    But a child, as young as Edmond, couldn''t understandpletely. He just felt that Maverick was a little


    strange today.


    It seemed that Maverick was a little stiff.


    Edmond even reached out his hand, patted Maverick''s shoulder, andforted him, "Well, I trust you,


    Uncle Maverick."


    It was not uncle, but the father.


    But he couldn''t call Maverick father now.


    ...


    On the way back to Maverick''s vi, Everly felt that Maverick''s expression was somewhat strange.


    However, Edmond and Candy were fine.


    She guessed that Maverick did not tell them that he was their father.


    She felt it was a little funny. Even if Maverick was an omnipotent man outside, he was also an ordinary


    person at home.


    In face of two five-year-old children, Maverick would be timid.


    It seemed that she had to tell Edmond something at night.


    At the vi, things were prepared by the servants. So Edmond and Candy could quicklye back to


    their rooms and y.


    Maverick was answering the phone. Everly contacted Hendrix and told him that she would live with


    Maverick for a few days.


    But Hendrix asked, "I''ve met our parents. The man you mentioned was Maverick?"


    Everly had been busy recently. Moreover, she had just confirmed that she was going to be together


    with Maverick. She had not told Hendrix about that and felt a little embarrassed now, "I did not mean to


    hide it from you. I did not find the time to tell you."


    "I didn''t expect it to be him. Are you sure?" Hendrix asked.


    "Yes."


    "Dad hopes that you can take Edmond for a DNA test. I know what you are thinking. But Dad is right.


    The test is necessary."


    Everly thought about it and said, "Edmond doesn''t know yet. Let''s talk about itter. I know what I''m


    doing. Let''s solve the urgent problem first."

 Chapter 163 A Family of Four

    Chapter 163 A Family of Four


    The problem that Everly had to face now was indeed tricky.


    But Maverick received a piece of good news.


    He had sent people to contact Den in Italy. It seemed that Den had taken the bait.


    Alex had to deal with domestic affairs, so he had not been to Italy recently. Moreover, as Carolina had


    taken the copy documents from Maverick, Alex could not wait to attack Maverick and began to deal


    with the project of Weirdale.


    So Den didn''t know what Alex was doing.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    They didn''t trust each other, so Maverick availed himself of the opportunity.


    The assistant who called Maverick was arranged to meet Den in Italy. He was reporting the situation


    in detail.


    "ording to your instructions, we arranged a middleman and contacted Den several times. He is


    ambitious. The bait we gave him is tempting. He now has the intention to sign a contract. As long as he


    signs, he will not be able to escape."


    At this moment, Maverick was a man who stood at the top of the business world and never failed.


    He ridiculed, "Alex has always sent people to keep an eye on Italy. Den also knows that. He thinks


    that as long as he takes this big deal, Alex won''t do anything about him. Kept hanging him. Don''t let


    him return to China for the time being."


    "OK. What about the project that they messed up?"


    In the beginning, Maverick was concerned about the project. He had been to Italy for a meeting directly.


    But as he went back, the project was almost shelved. The employees were a little confused.


    Maverick answered, "Do as I told you to."


    "Boss, what do you mean?"


    "Let them continue working overtime every day and pretended to find a way to deal with it. I will be


    thereter. Don''t need to save money for me, but did things well. Understand?"


    To be Maverick''s right-hand man, the assistant was certainly capable.


    Even if he couldn''t understand the whole Maverick, then he must have understood half.


    So now, the assistant understood what Maverick meant.


    Just pretended that they were serious about dealing with the project. It was a total cover-up.


    If they didn''t care about it at all, Den and Alex, two old cunning foxes, would be suspicious. On the


    contrary, if Maverick looked battered, they would rx their vignce and Den would take the bait


    easily .


    "Yes, I understand."


    Maverick hung up the phone.


    Then he contacted Byron in Weirdale.


    Since Byron didn''t receive Maverick''s call for a long time, he teased Maverick the moment he picked up


    the phone, "How? Our Mr. Maverick should be with a beauty now. Why did you have the time to call


    me?"


    "I heard that your family recently want you to get married. I just congratte you."


    Byron immediately cursed, "You won''t let me down every time. That''s right. I don''t know what happened


    to my father. He forced me to go on a blind date."


    "Can you find a wife if you don''t go?"


    "What do you mean? You''re so annoying."


    "I''m just telling the truth. Faithful words offend the ear."


    "It seems that what has happened in City C recently is not enough to make you anxious. You are still in


    the mood toughed at me."


    Maverick turned to the point, "OK. Let''s talk business. I asked you to do something for me before. Are


    you done?"


    Byron also changed his previous sloppy attitude and said in a serious tone, "Everything has been


    arranged, but are you sure Alex will take the bait?"


    Maverick snorted, "As long as it is about me, he can''t wait to rush up directly to take it."


    "Perhaps he is getting so old and doesn''t know how to judge people. You, such a fucking cunning guy,


    won''t let his stupid daughter get the business documents so easily. He even treats the documents like a


    treasure."


    Maverick did not say a word.


    He knew Carolina had stolen the documents of the project in Weirdale. He just met trick with trick.


    Although he would suffer a great loss, the money he had at the Swiss bank were no longer his goal.


    This time, he was going to use countless money to beat thempletely.


    "I have other things to deal with recently. Help me keep an eye on Weirdale. Contact me if you have


    any news."


    Byron agreed. But before hanging up the phone, he couldn''t help but ask about Everly.


    "Are you serious? Even if you also have a child, there is no need to be the father of another child."


    Byron did not know the truth and had a prejudice.


    Maverick could not bear those words. A woman having a child would endure more prejudice than a


    man having a child. Many people would think so.


    It was a closed thought that had been passed down since ancient times.


    Byron was not the kind of pedantic person. He just did not understand what love was. When a person


    truly fell in love with another person, many things could be ignored.


    Furthermore, Maverick had had owned the best.


    He said lightly, "You don''t understand. That''s why you have to go on a blind date."


    Byron wondered, ''I have to go on a blind date and you fall in love with a woman with a son. What''s the


    connection between the two things?''


    Maverick did not tell Byron the truth that Edmond was his son.


    He did not want anyone to think that he loved Everly just because of his son.


    Time would prove everything.


    Maverick didn''t care what others said. Before hanging up the phone, he said, "You don''t know how


    good she is. It''s fine as long as I know. Bye."


    Byron couldn''t be mean to Maverick. But Maverick showed off his rtionship instead.


    He pretended to curse Maverick in mind.


    Speechless!


    ...


    Maverick finished all the things.


    Everly had helped Edmond and Candy change clothes.


    The servants had prepared food. It was time for dinner.


    The four of them went to the dining table together. Edmond and Candy was the happiest because they


    could have dinner with their father and mother at the same time.


    Candy seemed to stick to Everly all the time, but Edmond was not jealous. He liked Candy.

 Chapter 164 The Scar on Candys Arm

    Chapter 164 The Scar on Candy''s Arm


    After dinner, Everly bathed two children respectively.


    However, Edmond did not want his mother to help him take a bath. Instead, he chose to bathe with


    Maverick.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Everly really wanted to strengthen their rtionship right now, so she naturally agreed.


    Then she took Candy to take a bath.


    The little Princess said that she wanted to take a bubble bath. Everly took a look and saw that there


    was everything in the bathroom. The servants who took care of her all year round were also there. She


    happily told Everly the specific things, "Miss Candy likes bubble baths very much, just like all little girls


    like to y with bubbles. So, Mr. Maverick has always asked people to prepare these. Miss Everly, can


    I help you?"


    Everly smiled and said, "No, I can do it."


    The servant did not say more and left directly.


    Everly helped Candy get everything done and then helped the little girl take off her clothes. Only then


    did she carry Candy into the bathtub.


    This was also the first time she hade into close contact with Candy, but she suddenly found that


    this little Princess, who looked chubby and delicate, had deep marks on the veins of her arms, as if she


    had been pierced many times by some needle or something.


    Although Everly did not a doctor, her mother, Gloria, had indeed worked in the hospital before.


    When she was a child, she often went to the hospital to find her mother who had not gotten off.


    She probably knew that these scars reveal the ce where the bone marrow was extracted when she


    was young.


    But she was still uncertain because perhaps these scars were left by blood drawing rather than by


    bone marrow transntation.


    Moreover, the wound looked like it had been there for a long time. She thought, ''there must have been


    many times before, so there was an obvious scar.''


    Everly felt feel sympathy for Candy.


    She asked naturally, "Candy, when did this happen?"


    Looking at her arm, Candy shook her head in confusion and said that she did not know.


    Everly thought that Candy was only five years old now, and might not clearly remember everything.


    Moreover, no matter how smart Edmond was now, in fact, when he was a child a few years ago, he


    also did not remember what he did.


    Everly didn''t ask anymore but felt puzzled.


    Looking at the naked Candy, she felt happy for no reason. Just as the old saying means that if you love


    someone, you''ll love people and things rtive to him as well. At this moment, it seemed that Candy


    was her child.


    After carefully helping her take a bath, Everly dried her hair also.


    It waste. Candy wanted to sleep. She had already wanted to close her big eyes. But she still didn''t


    forget to hold Everly''s hand and muttered, "Everly, can you sleep with me tonight?"


    "Okay, Candy, close your eyes and go to sleep. I am here," Everly''s said softly.


    "Have breakfast with me tomorrow."


    "Alright."


    "Everly, can you tell me stories?"


    "What stories do you usually hear?" Everly was in a dilemma. She thought, '' I had told the story to


    Edmond, but I didn''t do that since Edmond was over three years old, now I don''t know how to tell the


    story.''


    Candy pointed to the drawer on the bedside table, "There is a storybook in it and you can read it to


    me."


    Everly couldn''t help but secretly let out a sigh of relief. As if he had been granted amnesty, she quickly


    found a fairy tale book and began to read it.


    Candy was probably really sleepy. Shepletely fell asleep when Everly just read half of the book.


    After sitting for a while, shey on her side leaning against the little girl''s back. Everly thought, ''Candy


    was so small, even smaller than Edmond. Her entire body was in my arms.''


    Everly felt satisfied.


    It is wonderful.


    It didn''t matter who her mother was. It didn''t matter how she came. What was important was that she


    was now in her arms. In the future, she would love her like she loved Edmond.


    Everly thought, ''I will make her have aplete childhood and let her have true maternal love.


    -


    When Everly came out of the bedroom, Maverick also came out of the small bedroom on the side.


    Maverick stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Is Candy asleep?"


    "Yes," Everly asked, "has Edmond also fallen asleep?"


    "Yes."


    "You haven''t told him yet, right?"


    Maverick couldn''t help butugh, "I always felt that nothing was difficult for me, but now it seems to be


    difficult."


    "Do you need me to help you?"


    "No, I will tell Edmond by myself," Maverick raised his eyebrows, "Edmond is a little man, and he will


    think that this is amunication between men. You can rx."


    Everlyughed, "ok."


    Maverick reached out and hugged her. He lowered his head and sniffed her neck. There was the smell


    of shower gel. Because the bathtub in the master bedroom was better, so Candy took the bath in the


    master bedroom, then Everly also took a bath in the master bedroom.


    At this moment, there was the smell of sea salt on Everly''s body.


    Maverick was satisfied because the smell that belonged to him had been imprinted on her body.


    He pinched her chin and kissed her hard, "Go back to the room."


    In fact, they just now... Everly sometimes felt that this man seemed to have endless energy. She did not


    dare to provoke him now. When she wore fewer clothes, she was afraid of his evil eyes.


    But now, she definitely could not escape.


    Maverick saw that she did not move, so he directly reached out his hand to hug Everly like a child,


    walking directly to the room.


    Everyone liked to be carried like a Princess. Every time, Maverick hugged Everly like a child.


    Everly was worried that she would fall so she hugged the man tightly with hands and foot.


    In this position, she needed to lower her head. Maverick raised his neck slightly and kissed her lips.


    They went straight to the man''s soft bed.


    Maverick, like a hungry wolf, threw her on the bed, kissed her and confined her under his body, not


    giving her any chance to breathe.


    Everly couldn''t stand his direct and forceful action.


    But Maverick had always been the leader in this matter, and she could only bear it.


    ...


    When it was over, Everly couldn''t even move her fingers. Shey limply under the nket. The man


    next to her still clung tightly to her.


    She felt ufortable. After struggling for a while, she was shocked to find that just now...


    She did not dare to move again.


    "Maverick, you... please calm down, don''t..."


    Maverick smiled and hugged her, letting her face him, "Everly, I won''t. You probably have fainted. Okay,


    don''t move around. I promise not to do it, but don''t seduce me."


    Everly thought, ''I am innocent.''


    But she didn''t want to continue this topic, so she raised her spirits and asked about Candy.


    "I just took a bath for Candy. I saw many needle-like scars on her arm and veins."

 Chapter 165 How was Candy born?

    Chapter 165 How was Candy born?


    Maverick was stunned.


    Everly clearly felt that the atmosphere around them was a little different.


    Maverick had such a great personal charisma that he could strongly influence the mood in a space. But


    now the intimate atmosphere in the room was now disappearing inch by inch.


    Everly knew that he was not angry.


    It was just that he felt upset.


    He didn''t say anything. Everly felt that it must be a bad past, but she really wanted to know.


    All was silent in the room now.


    Maverick did not speak, and Everly would not question closely.


    After a few minutes, the man behind her sighed softly. His deep voice was a little hoarse. "I have never


    told you how Candy was born."


    Everly calmed down.


    Maverick added, "Actually, you should have already guessed some of it."


    Everly had indeed guessed some of it, but she really could not ept that Candy had been through so


    much at such a young age.


    Originally, she was just very distressed about Candy, but now her heart was broken. Everly trembled,


    and some vague scenes unconsciously shed through her mind. She did not know who it was. It was


    probably her imagination.


    The little baby did not know anything, but she had to contribute a part of her body.


    Candy''s birth was not simple from the beginning.


    When Everly thought of this, her heart couldn''t help but ache.


    Maverick felt the change in her emotions, reached out and gently stroked her hair, whispering, "I didn''t


    intend to tell you this at this time. I always feel that now is not the best time. But I never think of not


    telling you. Since you have already seen it and guessed some..."


    He paused and slowly said, "Candy''s birth could be considered an ident. At the beginning, I didn''t


    know how this child was born. Later, I found out that it was arranged by the Kamo family."


    "The Kamo family?" "What does it have to do with that family?" Everly blinked and asked.


    Maverick said, "Back then, my mother was forced to leave China because of some matters in China.


    Furthermore... she was sick and was in very bad health at that time. My mother is good-looking and is


    a gentle beauty of the typical oriental temperament. After arriving in Italy, she originally wanted to work


    to earn money to support me, but she was soon targeted. My mother knew that the other party had a


    great background and could not resist. She also knew that they would made me live better."


    "Later on, because the Kamo brothers began to fight for my mother, they wanted to control me. In fact,


    I was already an adult at that time. Unfortunately, my mother was controlled by drugs, and her body


    became worse and worse. Just as the old saying goes: the best thing is what we can never get! The


    Kamo family was a big family in Italy and could get everything they wanted. A Chinese woman, on the


    other hand, wanted to make the Kamo brothers turn against each other. The eldest son of the family


    wanted to control my mother and me. He injected some medicine into my mother''s body and then...


    froze my sperm. He used my child to control me and my mother. My mother needed a matching spinal


    cord, but my spinal cord was not a match. Candy was born at that time and her spinal cord was a


    match. In that half year, there was no way but to use Candy''s spinal cord to continue my mother''s life."


    When Maverick said this, he was obviously depressive and his voice was deep.


    Everly could tell that when he told these things, it was as if he had returned to these days that he was


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    difficult to extricate himself from, wishing that he could be torn apart by the devil.


    She didn''t know what to say.


    At this moment, Candy seemed to be her own child. When she thought about that Candy didn''t know


    anything but was treated like that, she felt like she couldn''t ept it in any case.


    "There are so many people in the world. Why does it have to be you... have a child and use her to


    prolong your mother''s life? Isn''t it too cruel?"


    It was indeed too cruel.


    Maverick frowned and said in a low voice, "At that time, I have no way to resist. I bring Candy back to


    China in several years and let the Italian family split up."


    Everly pursed her lips but didn''t say anything.


    There was silence in the air. They both choked up with emotions. They didn''t know what to say.


    The intimate atmosphere in the room had long disappeared.


    Everly did not know what to say. Maverick also did not know what to say. In the silence, Everly, who


    was very tired, closed her eyes.


    However, she did not sleep well.


    That was how Candy was born. Who was the surrogate mother of the child?


    In the past, she always felt that her son had no father since he was young and was very pitiful.


    Only now did she realize that Candy was even more pitiful.


    When sleeping, she was still thinking about this matter and vowed to treat Candy better in the future.


    -


    The next day, Everly overslept.


    When she woke up, she found that Maverick had already got up. He probably woke up early in the


    morning.


    However, his mobile phone was ced on the bedside table. Everly thought that he had told her


    yesterday that he had to go to Italy this afternoon.


    She sat up and pinched her nose. She got up on the wrong side of the bed and sat quietly for more


    than ten minutes.


    Just as she adjusted her mood, the phone on the table rang with a text message notification.


    Everly did not have the habit of prying into other people''s privacy. Even if it was Maverick''s phone, she


    did not intend to look at it. However, after the text message prompt sounded, the phone immediately


    rang.


    She frowned and took a look at the caller number.


    The call was not from China, but from Italy.


    Thinking for a moment, Everly took the phone, turned over and got off the bed, ready to go downstairs


    to find Maverick.


    However, Maverick was nowhere to be seen downstairs. When the servant saw her, she was holding


    the phone that was still ringing and looking for someone. The servant smiled and said, "Mr. Maverick


    takes Candy and Edmond out early in the morning. He says that he will bring them to buy something


    and wille back for lunch at noon. We all are preparing for Candy''s birthday in the kitchen. We


    prepare what she likes to eat and a cake. Mr. Maverick says that when hees back, he will cook it


    by himself."


    Everly thought to herself that today was the birthday of two children, but she had overslept.


    She nodded. Thinking about it, she said, "I''ll make the cake. I''ve made it before."


    The servant naturally agreed.


    When Everly went upstairs to change her clothes, that guy called again?


    She had actually noticed the caller ID. It should be the name of a woman.


    And... it might not be an Italian, because the name was a Chinese name -


    Elenore.

 Chapter 166 Its Been So Many Years, And Youre Coming the Raw Pawn with Me,

    Chapter 166 It''s Been So Many Years, And You''re Coming the Raw Pawn with Me,


    Perhaps it was out of woman''s intuition, or, deeply inside, she was willing to pick up this call.


    Moreover, the caller was extremely persistent for the imcable purpose.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Everly answered it and ced it near to her ear. As soon as she spoke, the other side quickly fell silent.


    A momentter, she heard a woman''s soft and gentle voice. "Excuse me, who are you?"


    Although it was just five simple words, coupled with a puzzling tone, for some reason, Everly felt


    somewhat suffocated.


    It was probably the sensitive sixth sense of a woman.


    Everly thought for a while and replied, "Hi, this is Maverick''s phone, because he is not here now, so I


    picked it up. Is there anything important? Or, maybe you could contact himter."


    "Who are you?"The woman seemed a little aggressive. "Are you Maverick''s assistant? I heard from him


    that he has changed a female secretary."


    Everly''s breath sank a little. She did not want to deny the fact that she felt awfully ufortable when


    she heard those words especially at this moment.


    But at least, she had been struggling in the workce for a few years, so she was not that impatient.


    After all, what does Maverick mean to her?


    In the past, Maverick and Everly did not know each other. Therefore, she had no idea if there were


    other women around him. But she would choose to believe Maverick''s words. She was pretty clear that


    there were huge crowds of women chasing after him, which waspletelymon. Therefore, she


    did not need to panic.


    "I am not his secretary."


    "Then, who are you?"


    "It''s Maverick you looking for? Why are you so concerned about who I am?"


    "There are a lot of strange people around Maverick. I am just worried."


    Everly sneered, "Then you can ask himter. I am also a little strange, that is I see no need to


    introduce myself for a stranger. You can callter. And I will also retell your words to Maverick."


    The woman probably didn''t expect for the answer. She originally wanted to say something more, but


    Everly directly hung up.


    No matter how calm Everly was earlier on the phone, she felt a little unhappy now.


    Who was that woman after all? The way she spoke seemed that she knew Maverick very well. Female


    secretary and lots of strange people, was I Everly that kind of person too?


    She was not in mood. In addition, she had just woken up and had been tormented badlyst night. Now


    she was even more depressed.


    But concerning that today was the birthday of two children. Besides, the loving little girl was also born


    on the same day as her son. She thought that no matter what, there was no need to be angry on this


    asion. She went to the kitchen and began to make cake.


    About half an hourter, no sooner than the cake was put into the oven did the sound of a car engine


    arise from outside.


    Soon, from the distant came the voices of two children.


    You could vaguely hear Maverick saying a few words from time to time.


    "Miss Everly is making a cake in the kitchen," the maid said to Maverick.


    After a while, Maverick came in as expected.


    He was dressed very casually today far from the incisive posture as usual. In addition, he stood beside


    Everly, which softened his whole vibe. "The servant said you were making cake?"


    Everly nodded and pointed at the oven. "Almost done."


    Maverick came up and hugged her from behind. Just as he was about to kiss her, Everly stiffened and


    turned her face to the other side. Then she wiped her hands and pointed to the phone, saying, "There


    was a call for you, you should ring it back first. It seems to be quite urgent."


    It was impossible for a shrewd person like Maverick not to notice that there was something wrong with


    Everly.


    Call again? He smiled and asked, "Who is it?"


    "I don''t know. It''s a woman." Everly did not want to disclose it. "There are also some messages from


    her, right? But don''t worry, I didn''t read them. She kept calling and you weren''t here, so I helped you


    pick up one," Everly said honestly.


    "Are you being jealousy?" Maverick leaned towards Everly while Everly walked forward. But he quickly


    chased after her. In the end, she was forced nearby the refrigerator door. The man sounds a little


    happy: "You''re my only baby, so don''t think too much about it, okay?"


    Everly felt as if she was beingpletely controlled by him. Previously, she had always been


    suppressing her unhappiness. Moreover, she would also feel that it was just melodramatic for her


    emotion to be affected so easily. There was no reason to exin it. She had never been such a person.


    Now, she didn''t even know why.


    As a result, the emotions that she had managed to suppress were like wild fire raging in her heart when


    she heard Maverick''s words.


    "I''m not indulging myself in fancy thoughts. Ring back the phone first. She seems to be very anxious."


    Maverick saw that her face had lost color. Although he was very satisfied inwardly, it was more


    important tofort his girl at this moment. He took the phone and nced at the number. It''s no


    surprise to see the name on it.


    At this time, the one who would call him and it was a woman. It must be Elenore.


    The man then threw his phone on the table and held Everly in his arms, gazing her directly face to face.


    "Are you really angry? She is my friend. We are in a quite good rtionship. In the past, she helped me


    and can be viewed a benefactor. However, she is two years older than me. Over the years, we have


    been in contact asionally, but not that frequently."


    He thought it over and said, "In fact, you should have heard of her too. The most famous skin care


    products in the world are basically from herpany. She is a professional in this field."


    Skin care products?


    Everly remembered that Beth had helped her investigate the smell of Maverick''s shower gel and had


    told her something.


    Everly''s heart lurched. She asked, "The shampoo you''ve been using all the time, is it unavable on


    the market?"


    Maverick was stunned, but then he nodded.


    "It''s rather unique, and you''ve probably used it for many years," "Is this body lotion made by Elenore?"


    Everly said confidently.


    Maverick thought that maybe it was a bad thing, but indeed he did not want to deceive Everly. He


    sighed and said, "She gave it to me on one of my birthdays. In the beginning, she was indeed


    preparing to sell it. She just said that she wanted me to use it first. A lot of time and energy has been


    put to make the shampoo, so she gave it to me as a birthday present. I thought it was not


    uneptable, so I used it. The product was quite satisfactory. That taste made me feel quite


    about to go public, something happened and it never appear in the market again."


    "It''s been so many years, but you don''t need to use the same one all the time. So all these years, your


    shampoo are all from her, right?"


    "I kind of prefer the smell. It was true that it has always been provided by someone. Elenore has a


    form. You could just find someone to make it."


    Everly''s tone sounded a little jealousy. "It can''t be that there is a problem causing the product cannot go


    public. It''s just she wants to give you the unique one. It''s been so many years, and you areing the


    raw pawn with me, right?"

 Chapter 167 Jealous?

    Chapter 167 Jealous?


    He didn''t pretend to know nothing.


    It would be a lie to say that he didn''t feel anything.


    Maverick would observe the people around him without silently, measuring their impact.


    He knew that Elenore was interested in him, but Elenore never said it explicitly. In Italy, the daughter of


    the Kamo family also chased after him. Maverick was very disgusted with this kind of woman. However,


    Elenore and he were like friends. She treated him well in the past. Maverick could not turn a cold


    shoulder to her.


    Everly minded that. Maverick patiently exined, "There are a lot of things that I can''t control. She


    didn''t say it explicitly, and I can''t be self-sentimental, right?"


    People were sometimes unreasonable.


    Maverick felt that Everly was unhappy, but he failed to catch her subtle feelings. Everly thought that


    what Elenore had said to her on the phone was a im to possess her man.


    She could not help getting angry.


    Maverick''s words seemed to tell her that she should not be angry even if someone were interested in


    him.


    Everly couldn''t think. She felt bitter in her heart.


    She would rather hide her feelings in such circumstances, afraid of being used of being narrow-


    minded.


    She did not want to be narrow-minded.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "I understand." She breathed and said, "The cake is almost ready. You can call back. I will prepare to


    celebrate their birthday. Aren''t you going to Italy this afternoon?"


    ''That woman... is definitely in Italy too.''


    Everly could not think normally at all, and her mind was full of bitter feelings.


    "I''ll be on the ne tonight. I''ll stay with you for a while longer."


    "Then I''ll go get the cake." Her tone sounded natural.


    Maverick thought it was not a big deal. Elenore was indeed a benefactor and friend. He had no other


    feelings.


    He kissed Everly on the face and then called back.


    Maverick had never been in a rtionship before. He was proud in his bones. He did not have much


    patience talking to others. He was a natural-born king.


    He didn''t expect that he shouldn''t call back without Everly''s presence.


    To Everly, who had a strong desire to monopolize, this was heart-wrenching.


    Her heart was in turmoil.


    ...


    Maverick didn''t know Everly''s thought. He called Elenore back.


    Elenore seemed to be waiting for his call. She quickly picked up. "A woman answered the phone just


    now. I thought it was your secretary. She seemed to be a little unhappy. I don''t know what she said. I


    apologize to you. Don''t mind it. I didn''t mean it."


    Maverick frowned and asked, "What did you say to her?"


    Elenore had expected that Maverick would let it go.


    Maverick hadn''t been in a rtionship. Elenore felt that Everly could not bepared to her. Maverick


    was seeking novelty.


    Unexpectedly, he seemed to care about Everly.


    Elenore smiled and said, "I asked her if she''s your secretary. Then she was unhappy. I didn''t have time


    to apologize and she hung up, so I apologized to you first. Is it Miss Everly?"


    Maverick paused and said, "Yes. She has a good temper. She won''t be angry."


    He was defending Everly.


    Elenore felt sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood. "Are youing to Italy today?"


    "It''s a flight tonight."


    "I will be leaving in a few days. Don''t forget your promise this time."


    Maverick said, "I''m quite busy this time. I''ll contact you."


    "Okay, I''ll wait for your call."


    Maverick thought for a moment and asked, "Didn''t you call me a few times? Just for a meal? You don''t


    need to do much effort."


    "I have good news. That''s why I''m in such a hurry." Elenore kept him in suspense. "Anyway, you will be


    very happy. By the way, I remember today is Candy''s birthday, right?"


    "Thank you. I will tell her your blessings."


    "I bought Candy a birthday present. It should be delivered to your house."


    "Thank you."


    "Why are you being so polite to me? Is Candy by your side? Let me say a few words to her. I also want


    to personally say happy birthday to her."


    Maverick felt that Elenore seemed to be a little strange. With Everly''s presence, he did not intend to let


    Elenore and Candy talk. Just as he was about to reject her, Candy ran towards him and shouted, "Dad,


    Dad... Look, brother''s model is ready! Hurry up ande over. Hendrix is really smart."


    Elenore heard Candy''s loud voice.


    She also heard "brother".


    She knew that Everly had a son. ''Are they living together?''


    Elenore couldn''t believe it and felt a huge gap between her and Everly. Her face darkened.


    However, she had to endure it.


    "It''s Candy''s voice, right? Hurry up and give her the phone. I haven''t contacted her for a long time. I


    miss her."


    Maverick could only ask Candy toe over and give her the phone, then said: "It''s aunt Elenore. She


    wants to say happy birthday to you."


    Candy was slightly indifferent to the women around Maverick, but she knew Elenore was good to her.


    She knew in her heart that these women were good to her because they wanted to be with Maverick.


    But she was not willing to share Maverick with these beautiful aunts.


    Candy had always treated them with an indifferent attitude.

    Chapter 168 A Father for You Is the Best Birthday Present


    However, the little girl was polite, so she wouldn''t think too much about it.


    She nodded obediently. Then, she took the phone and said, "Ms. Elenore."


    Elenore couldn''t be more enthusiastic in an extremely gentle voice. "Little sweetie, is it your birthday


    today?"


    "Yes."


    "As I am in the other country, I can''t celebrate your birthday on the scene. Can I sing a song for you on


    the phone?"


    "What song?"


    "The song of ''Happy birthday''." As she spoke, she started humming before Candy said anything. She


    had a beautiful and soft voice.


    As a little girl, it was quite easy to please Candy.


    Elenore was a calcting person. Otherwise, how could she be an able woman today? She kept


    a low profile but her personal worth maybe no less than Maverick''s.


    After singing, she continued to tter Candy with picked topics preferred by Candy, such as exclusive


    toy collections which were very hard to buy as she always knew.


    Even adults these days might be crushed by sugar coated bullet, let alone a five-year-old child?


    In a short while, Candy''s attitude had changed a bit. Before she hung up the phone, she obediently


    kissed goodbye to Elenore speaking on the phone.


    Then, she returned the phone to Maverick. But she forgot about Elenore soon. She pulled Maverick''s


    trousers and said loudly, "Dad, let''s go to cut the cake. Ms. Everly must be waiting anxiously."


    "Ok," Maverick rubbed his daughter''s head and smiled, "You go first. Daddy will be there soon."


    Candy left. Maverick nced at his phone and found that Elenore was stil on the line. So he had to pick


    it up, "I''ll contact you when I get back. I''ll hang up first."


    Elenore knew when to persist and when to back off. She had endured for so many years that she


    would not panic because of such a trifle. She understood that it was about the time to say goodbye,


    "Ok. Have a safe journey. Please contact me when you arrive. Don''t stand me up again this time."


    Maverick responded reluctantly, seemly epting her request.


    After hung up the phone, he turned his back to see Everly standing not far behind him.


    Her expression seemed changed in an instant. But when Maverick''s gaze settled on her face, she


    looked very calm. "The cake is ready as well as the dishes. Let''s go to have dinner."


    Maverick moved his lips and wanted to say something. But as soon as he took a step, Everly already


    left.


    He was not sure before, but now he did. She had felt a little ufortable with thest sentence he


    said. At this moment, she must be lost in various fancies and conjectures.


    However, because he had to celebrate the child''s birthday, Maverick did not say much in front of the


    servants and children at home. He cut the cake for the child and sang a birthday song.


    However, Candy, the little girl, had a big mouth. When singing, she heartlessly said, "Dad, Ms. Elenore


    also sang for me. Let''s sing the Chinese version. Every year''s birthday, it was English birthday song."


    Everly, who was setting down the tes, froze slightly.


    Her eyes showed deep sadness.


    She didn''t want to admit that she was jealous before, but now she had to.


    She was so jealous that she almost went crazy.


    It was about both Maverick and Candy.


    It seemed that in the five years, Candy had got close with a lot of women adults, not only Carolina, but


    also Elenore and even others.


    She felt very ufortable.


    It felt like a fishbone stuck in her throat, but she felt that if she could not vent it out which would make


    her look narrow-minded.


    Moreover, Maverick had already exined to her that Elenore was just a friend who had helped him.


    Why was she jealous of Elenore?


    She sighed and finally set down all the cake tes, then sang a birthday song with them.


    Undeniably, the atmosphere was still very good.


    Edmond was also very happy. When they were eating, Everly asked Candy about her childhood. The


    little girl told Everly everything she could remember.


    But very few memory. Obviously, in the past five years, even if she only had one or two years memory,


    there were few happy moments that she might remember. Perhaps there was something to do with


    other women adults, although Candy did not mention that.


    Everly felt sorry for her.


    After dinner, Maverick arranged to take a group photo for the four of them.


    Everly was a little surprised. "Why taking photos?"


    "As a souvenir," Maverick said, "It is lucky for two children to have the same birthday. This is the first


    year of celebration. In the future, there will be a second, a third... even countless years. One birthday


    group photo each year. Then when they grow up, we can take a good look at these photos."


    It was a considerable idea, but there were something stuck in Everly''s heart. Even though she was a


    little ufortable, she still kept the overall situation in mind.


    So she agreed.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Maverick should have arranged it early in the morning. He asked the servants to bring the clothes for


    them to change.


    Everly really felt that it was like a wedding photo, although she was not wearing a wedding dress but


    kind of traditional chest wrapping skirt. Moreover, there was a makeup artist for her.


    Finally, they sat down with the two children standing on each side. When they faced the camera, the


    photographer smiled and said, "Mr. Maverick, Miss Everly, you really look like a married couple."


    Everly''s heart trembled slightly. And Maverick was very satisfied with the photographer''s ttery.


    The two children could also understand what husband and wife meant. Edmond asked for the first time,


    "Sir, do you think Mr. Maverick and I look like real father and son?"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the photographer happened to be facing the camera. The two faces


    of them on it were almost the same.


    Perhaps at this time, it could really prove that a bystander saw through everything. His hand just


    happened to be pressing the shutter. With a click, the photo was taken.


    Maverick heard Edmond''s words and looked at the little kid beside him with a deep look.


    Edmond was also looking at Maverick with some expectation in his eyes.


    Maverick''s heart moved. The sentence was almost on the tip of his tongue, and the atmosphere was


    suddenly pushed to the extreme.


    He stood up, picked up Edmond, and told Everly to take photos with Candy alone.


    Then, with a solemn expression, he walked towards the stairs.


    Everly knew what he was going to do. But she didn''t expect it to be at this time. However, it wasn''t an


    unsuitable time.


    Edmond really wanted a father, and he hoped that this father was Maverick.


    It was the best birthday present he could have.

 Chapter 169 Why Should I Be Angry?

    Chapter 169 Why Should I Be Angry?


    Maverick carried Edmond to the study room on the second floor.


    "Uncle Maverick, why did you bring me here?" Edmond thought, "We didn''t take a good picture just


    now, so why did wee up here? ".


    "Edmond, do you remember the first time you met me at the airport?" Maverick sat on the sofa in the


    study room and whispered to him.


    Edmond nodded, "Of course I remember. Uncle Maverick is very handsome, and I like you very much


    at first sight." In order to express his sincerity, Edmond added, "Actually, it''s not that I haven''t seen


    other uncles. It''s just that I simply like you, so I especially want you and mommy know each other."......


    "There is such magical attraction between people."


    "Uncle Maverick, what is called magical attraction?"


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, "You like me, and I also like you. It''s a weird but wonderful, like a


    destiny. Can you get it?"


    "I know what destiny means. Mommy told me before that there exists destiny between human beings.


    Predestined people are meant to meet each other in a vast sea of faces."


    Maverick nodded, "Yes, so there is destiny between us. Then are you really hoping that I am your


    dad?"


    Edmond nodded without any hesitation. "Uncle Maverick, I really hope so."


    "What if I am really your father?"


    This stunned Edmond for a moment. To him, he probably hadn''t arrived yet, yet he was able to


    discover the difference between the so-called, true, and false at once.


    Therefore, after thinking it over, Edmond said, "Uncle Maverick, do you mean that I can call you daddy


    in the future?"


    Maverick reached out and rubbed Edmond''s hair. The words he had been holding back for a long time


    finally came out, "Actually I am your real father."


    Edmond blinked his eyes.


    Maverick couldn''t help pulling his son into his arms. His voice was a bit low, "Dad is very irresponsible. I


    haven''t been by your side all these years, but I''m still very proud now. Because you have grown up


    brilliantly and I really appreciates it. These years, you have helped me take care of your mom. In the


    future, I will take care of you. Edmond, do you understand now?"


    Edmond could understand these words.


    After all, he had known that he did not have a father by his side since he was a child, and he had


    always wanted to know who his father was.


    He liked Maverick and it had been several times that he thought how wonderful it would be if he was


    really his father.


    But now, it was like themp of ddin had appeared in real life.


    Children did not have so many twists and turns. He just felt that everything had be real.


    Happiness was real. He threw his arms around Maverick''s neck, with excitement overflowing. "Really?


    Uncle... can I call you dad in the future? Are you really my dad?"


    "Yes, I am. Just like Candy is my daughter, you are my son."


    "Yay! That''s great! My dream came true. Uncle Maverick is really my dad." He couldn''t help cheering


    up. Maybe he was so cheerful that he couldn''t help but lean over and kiss Maverick''s face.


    In the end, he became a little shy. After all, he was just a little boy. At this age, his personality gave


    priority to sullenness. He chuckled, "Dad, from now on, you are my dad. I''m so happy."


    Even if Maverick had previously known that there would not be many problems in the "rtionship


    acknowledging" part.


    But at this moment, Maverick felt quite emotional. He hugged his son tightly in his arms and his eyes


    turned moist.


    In the past, he always felt that even if he had reached the peak where others ate his dust, all the


    experiences he had endured, including his own childhood and unfair treatment of his own son, brought


    imperfection to his life. Therefore, he was quite indifferent to others.


    But at this moment, he probably felt that all his resentment towards this world had been dissolved


    satisfactorily.


    "Edmond, happy birthday."


    ...


    Candy and Everly took several sets of photos downstairs, but Maverick and Edmond still didn''t show


    up.


    Everly did not think too much about it. She knew her son very well, so there should not be any


    problems.


    "Everly, why did Papa and Edmond go up for so long? Is there a secret between them?" Candy asked


    anxiously.


    Everly thought about it and pulled Candy to sit down. She said in a low voice, "Do you like Edmond?"


    "Of course."


    "What if Edmond is your real brother?"


    "Edmond is my real brother."


    "No, I mean it''s your father''s son. Just like Candy, you are both your father''s children and he is your


    elder brother. Will you like him?"


    Candy was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, "Of course, I never call someone brother


    casually. Edmond is a very nice brother. I like him best. Not only do I like Edmond, but also like you. So


    I''m very willing to share my father with you. I have always been taught that only by knowing how to


    share can we be truly happy."


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    What a cute and sensible little angel! But she was treated like that in her childhood.


    Everly couldn''t help but feel sorry for Candy again. "My baby is so lovable. I will be your mother and


    take good care of you in the future, okay?"


    "Sure, I like you the most. Others are not as good as you, and dad likes you very much."


    Everly smiled and pinched Candy''s cheeks.


    At this time, the two people upstairs, one adult and one child came down.


    Everly nced at it. Maverick hugged Edmond with one hand while Edmond wrapped his arms around


    Maverick''s neck. It seemed quite intimate instead of repulsive.


    She understood it.


    Now that everything had been clear, which has lifted a load from her mind.


    The atmosphere after that was weird. It was probably between the two adults. How could children have


    anything on their minds? They were originally willing to ept each other, so it did not affect them at


    all. Moreover, it was their birthday, so it was not to mention how happy they were.


    However, Maverick also noticed that Everly seemed to be deliberately dodging him. He was not that


    stupid and could tell that it has something to do with Elenore''s call.


    He had to go to the airport in a while. Jayden had already contacted the other side in Italy. There was


    little time left, so he wanted to exin to her before leaving.


    It took great efforts for Maverick to take Everly into the room. "What are you doing? I was ying with


    them so harmoniously." Everly said with a long face.


    Maverick suppressed a kiss on her face, "I''m leaving soon. I guess I have to go for a few days. Are you


    still angry?"


    "No." Everly said in a normal tone, "Your business is more important. You just do whatever you want


    directly. And I will help you take care of Candy. Now the public opinion is not as intense as the very


    beginning. I will first look for some drawing studios on the inte and then learn it step by step."


    Maverick gazed at her without blinking. She was still willing to tell him about her ns to learn drawing,


    maybe it was himself who was thinking too much.


    "You''re not angry?"


    "Why should I be angry?"


    "Didn''t you hear it just now? Elenore and I have known each other for many years. So she had always


    wanted to have a meal with me when she went back to Italy while I flew around all the time. Therefore,


    this time, I will have a meal with her."

 Chapter 170 Zanes Dream Lover Carry a Torch for Maverick

    Chapter 170 Zane''s Dream Lover Carry a Torch for Maverick


    Everly felt that Maverick''s exnation was no big deal and very reasonable.


    Everyone has friends. No matter what rtionships, they knew each other before meeting Everly. It


    was unreasonable to ask them not to contact each other.


    It was too unreasonable.


    It was her problem to be jealous. Didn''t Maverick exin everything to her?


    She suppressed the sigh and nodded, "I know. I am not angry. Don''t worry."


    "Kiss me."


    Maverick tapped the corner of his lips.


    Everly didn''t have any thoughts at that moment. But if she didn''t kiss Maverick, he would probably think


    that she was jealous.


    Everly adjusted her emotions and leaned over to kiss him, but it was a gentle kiss.


    Maverick was not satisfied with it. When Everly was about to retreat, he take the initiative. He didn''t let


    Everly off and became crazy.


    Everly was not interested in it at the beginning. Moreover, there was a child downstairs, and it was


    daylight. It''s really...


    Maverick felt that she was not in a good state and worked even harder. Maverick knew her feeling.


    Everly was soon begged for mercy. Maverick felt satisfied.


    ...


    It was not until evening that Jayden called for the third time. Maverick ate and drank, and changed his


    clothes. Then he left the vi.


    Everly was too tired. She could not wake up. She wanted to persuade herself to wake up several times,


    but it useless.


    Before Maverick left, he had already told servants not disturb Everly and let them take care of the child.


    So, Everly slept until midnight.


    When opened her eyes, she realized that it was already dawn.


    There was a WeChat message from Maverick half an hour ago, telling her that he had arrived.


    Everly replied: "Ok."


    There was no reply from Maverick. She thought that Maverick was busy. She threw her phone on the


    bedside table and sat quietly for a while. She couldn''t fall asleep. She got off the bed and surfed the


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Inte for a while.


    Sarah''s matter was still stuck. It was said that the police had been investigating.


    Everly just went online and found that the night owl Beth was still online.


    Beth sent a message first.


    [You''re online sote? ]


    Everly replied with a smile [You too. ]


    Beth [I''m ready offline. I was browsing the news for a while. Have you seen it? The police suddenly


    said that they had a suspect about Sarah''s case. ]


    Everly [You pay more attention than I do. I really don''t notice it. Today... ah, it should be yesterday. It


    was Edmond and Candy''s birthday. ]


    Beth [What a coincidence! They are on the same day? ]


    Everly [ Yes. ]


    Beth [This is a fate. You guys are destined to be together.]


    Everly did not reply again. She opened the web page and scrolled through the news. Sure enough,


    Beth was right. The police suddenly announced that they had a suspect. Because they were still under


    investigation, they would not announce the real identity of the suspect.


    However, it seemed that Jayden and the Zhous hadpletely escaped the suspicion.


    Everly immediately sent a WeChat message to Beth.


    Everly [Do you think there is a problem? Can you know who the police suspect? ]


    Beth [It is the fucking funny thing to say it. We know this person. He was our high school ssmate. I


    hacked the police''s information. The information they have now is that love begets hate. The man


    maybe guilt of manughter. Just wait for his confession. ]


    Everly was very surprised. [Our high school ssmate? Who is he? ]


    Beth [He is Sun Pei. Maybe you don''t know about him, but I do have an impression of him. The man


    chased after Sarah at that time.]


    Everly [Really? It''s been so many years. What about the phone call you madest time? ]


    Beth [I don''t know. I don''t think it''s simple. But Maverick haven''t tell you? The Lamont Group is in chaos


    again. I heard it asionally when I was listening to Lawrence on the phone. Zane seemed to be


    pushed by Levi of the Lamont Group to get the position. Hey, do you know that? They willpete


    each other.]


    When Everly saw thest few words, she almostughed.


    Everly [Be more polite. Your honey Lawrence will warn you.]


    Beth [No. I can control him. To be honest, Zane Lamont is a problematic man. ]


    Everly [? ]


    Beth [After Zane regained a portion of his shares, the police announced the matter of Sarah was a


    crime of passion. I told you about it before. Sarah didn''t die by ident. It must for profits, and


    Maverick was involved. Now Zane can be a shareholder of the Lamont Group openly. It is the big


    elephant in the room. He seems to be a cripple with great ambition. Moreover, I also know that there


    was a quarrel between Zane and Maverick.]


    In the middle of the night, Beth gave her too much information. Everly ''s eyes were bright.


    Everly [Why do you know so much? ]


    Beth ["Little Fairy" needs to be the first to control the information. ]


    Everly [Then tell me. ]


    Beth quickly sent a long message:


    [It has been a few years. It is so dramatic. At that time, Maverick was still in Italy. There was a girl who


    seemed to have a crush on him. I was not sure if Maverick knew about it. But Zane liked that girl. It was


    a kind of childhood sweetheart. Later, the girl died in a car ident. Zane realized that the girl liked his


    brother. In a rage, he went to find Maverick. I don''t know what happened. I heard that there was a


    dispute at that time. Then, Maverick identally pushed Zane , and his leg wereme.]


    Everly looked at the text, and her mind went nk.


    This... Maverick had never told her.


    However, Maverick had indeed hinted her that his rtionship with the Lamont Group was not good.


    But... Did Zane''sme leg have anything to do with Maverick ?


    If it was really the case, with Zane''s sinister personality, he had a certain motive for taking


    revenge.

 Chapter171 That Child Is My Son

    That Child Is My Son


    But these were just their guesses.


    After midnight, Everly could not sleep. She repeatedly thought about what Beth had said to her and


    suddenly felt upset.


    The girls around Maverick... whether it was what he wanted or not, it was true that the beginning of


    many troubles seemed to be due to emotional entanglement.


    Everly could not help sighing.


    Looking at her phone, there was still no message. Everly thought, even though there had a time


    difference, Maverick should call her now.


    She would always think of the woman called Elenore waiting for Maverick in Italy.


    So were they having dinner together?


    Everly was a little annoyed. She turned over but still could not sleep. Finally Everly awoke until dawn.


    The jealousy that she had tried to suppress turned into resentment.


    Everly did not know that Maverick, who was far away in Italy, did not mean not to contact her,


    But he had calcted Everly''s bedtime, so he naturally would not call her at midnight.


    However, this time Maverick and Elenore had a meal indeed.


    They have been good friends for many years. Maverick could see some unique qualities of women in


    Elenore, so he appreciated her.


    Though Everly had hinted to him before that there was no pure friendship between men and women.


    "I feel that it''s really difficult to have this meal with you." Although Elenore was older than Maverick, she


    worked in the skincare industry, knowing well how to keep her beauty. Elenore was sexy with slightly


    curly long hair, not very tall, but has a perfect figure. When standing beside Maverick, who was 185


    centimeters in height, she looked very petite.


    Moreover, Elenore was good-looking. Her big eyes seemed to be full of affections, which could easily


    impress a man.


    Overall, Elenore was a very intellectual beauty.


    Unfortunately, even if she had been by his side for so many years, Maverick was indifferent to her.


    Elenore looked at Everly''s photo a hundred times. Every time she would look at herself in the mirror,


    And thought that there was a chance to have Maverick for her.


    ''Everly is lovely, but how can shepare to me?''


    ''I would not give up easily.''


    "I have quite a lot of things recently," Maverick asked the waiter standing at the side to open a bottle of


    red wine, and pour it for them. He raised his ss and lowered his head to take a sip.


    "I haven''t seen you in a while. How are you doing?"


    Elenore raised his eyebrows. "It''s rare that you care about me. I''m fine. Everything is OK. As for you,


    you have had a lot of trouble recently. Can you solve them? If you need help, just tell me."


    Maverick smiled, "No problem. Such things need to be done step by step. Don''t worry, I can handle it."


    When hearing his words, Elenore naturally knew that it was meaningless to say more, but she was still


    a little sad. "Alright, if you need anything, just tell me."


    Maverick nodded and didn''t continue the topic.


    Elenore had to find a new topic to talk about. "By the way, I heard that Pira, who went after you back


    then, seems to have been on a blind date. It''s quite funny to think about it now. She probably gave up."


    Maverick remained impassive and lowered his head to cut the steak on his te. He seemed not very


    interested in this topic too,


    Only replied indifferently.


    Actually, Elenore wanted to know Maverick''s reaction. After all, everyone in the upper ss knew that


    Pira wooed Maverick.


    Maverick slightly dreaded the Kamo family at that time, so he did not refuse Pira obviously. In the past,


    Elenore often thought that Maverick was indifferent to any woman, but he could make friends with her.


    And now, she really wanted to know if he would hate her when she expressed her love and courtship to


    him.


    Elenore was cautious but uneasy.


    She still tried to show her indifference.


    "Are you sure you''re with Miss Everly now?" Elenore couldn''t help but ask.


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, "Yes". This time his answer was very clear.


    Elenore only felt that her heart was being squeezed hard. It was indescribably heartbroken.


    Even if Maverick did not belong to her, it seemed that he should not belong to any woman, let alone


    Everly who was inferior to her in any way.


    "I can tell that you like her a lot." Elenore forced a smile, but she knew how to hide her true emotions.


    Maverick was also not in the mood to figure out anything.


    "Everly is good," Maverick said in a low voice with a gentle smile, maybe thinking of something. "It


    doesn''t matter whether she is good or not. I do like her quite a lot. I will bring her over next time if you


    are also in Italy. We can have a meal together."


    Elenore felt bitter. She couldn''t hold it in anymore and said, "Do you really know her? It seems that you


    have not known each other for a long time, and I... I did not investigate anything on purpose, but


    everyone is saying that she has a son. Maverick..."


    "That child is my son." Maverick raised his eyes and stared at Elenore.


    There was also a subtle sense of oppression in his sharp eyes. Elenore saw a different Maverick for


    the first time.


    At this moment, she seemed to realize that Maverick just pretended to be approachable when talking


    with her.


    Maverick didn''t repel her, so he could talk with her airily.


    But the other side of him now belongs to another woman.


    Elenore worked in the business world and was not a fool. She was only flying a kite. She quickly put


    away the unnecessary expression on her face and smiled gently. "All I''m doing is for you. We''ve been


    friends for many years, and I''m just concerned about you. If you treat the boy as your son, I will say


    nothing."

    Maverick originally wanted to say that the child was indeed his son.


    However, he suddenly thought about that again ¡ª they would believe that he was with Everly because


    of the child.


    He didn''t want Everly to be seen like this,


    So he didn''t say anything.


    After that, it became a little awkward between them, but Elenore was very talkative. She found some


    topics, and finally, when they talked about some business strategies, Maverick''s tone returned to


    normal.


    Elenore was still unhappy.


    After they separated, she sat in the car and smoked a cigarette.


    In the end, Elenore took out her phone and called someone. When the call was answered, Elenore


    directly ordered, "Do what I said."

 Chapter172 Everly Sent the Photos to Maverick

    Everly Sent the Photos to Maverick


    Everly received a call from Maverick in the afternoon.


    In fact, Everly was wondering what Maverick was doing before the call. She was just ufortable


    and unhappy. She wanted to contact him for countless times, but she had to endure it. Finally, when


    she received a call from him, all her grievance seemed to have been stirred up.


    "Have you had lunch?" Maverick, not knowing what Everly was doing, asked in a normal tone," The two


    children didn''t make trouble at home, did they?"


    Everly kept calm and did not answer. She asked him directly, "Have you eaten?"


    "Yes." Maverick answered.


    "Did you have the meal with your friends?"


    "You mean Elenore? Yes, we had a meal together." Maverick answered in quick response.


    He was so honest that Everly had to hold her temper. Maybe she just thought too much. She couldn''t


    get angry for no reason. She couldn''t.


    She surpassed rushing grievance in her heart and then said in a low voice, "I''ve eaten. They are all


    very obedient."


    "What''s wrong? Are you unhappy?" Maverick certainly perceived Everly was kind of moody.


    "No."


    "Don''t lie to me. Tell me if you are unhappy."


    "I am not unhappy. Maybe because you weren''t here, I was a little depressed."


    These words sessfully pleased Maverick. After all, they were far away from each other. As long as


    Everly watched her tone, Maverick couldn''t tell her feeling even though he was a careful man.


    "I will go back as soon as everything was down."


    "Alright."


    Everly happened to have a phone in. She nced at the unknown number and was about to say


    something when she heard someone in the background of Maverick''s side. It seemed that someone


    was talking about the handover of work. She said, "That''s all for you. Go ahead and do your work. I''ll


    take good care of everything."


    Maverick was indeed a little busy but still told her to try to avoid going out during these days before


    hanging up the phone.


    Everly hung up the phone and checked the phone number which just called in. She didn''t know the


    number and it seemed not a local one.


    She thought there had been a lot of stuff going on recently and didn''t call back to the unknown number.


    ...


    At the same time, the caller was standing in a telephone booth on the street in City B.


    He was clothed in ck.


    Judging from the back, it seemed to be a tall man wearing a ck cap. He kept every bit of himself


    covered. Nobody knew what he looked like.


    He seemed to wait for the phone rang. But nobody called back. After waiting for a while, he felt a little


    disappointed and cast a fist on the phone. He didn''t want to give up the slightest chance. Then he


    decided to call again but he had run out of all coins.


    He, after standing there for a while, lowered his cap and looked around to ensure that nobody saw him,


    then he got out of the booth and slipped into an alley.


    He soon vanished in the alley.


    He didn''t take off his mask until he was out of the alley. It was not an Asian man.


    ...


    Everly did not know that the unknown caller was Jack who had lost contact with her for a long time.


    Something knottier is waiting for her.


    It was just about two hours after Maverick called her that Everly received an anonymous email, which


    showed that Maverick was having dinner with a woman in Italy. Judging from the dress, she concluded


    it was a recent shoot.


    If Everly was right, it proved what Maverick said. He did have a dinner with Elenore.


    She wondered what the sender''s intent was? On purpose?


    Everly''s sixth sense told her that the person who took the photo just wanted to cause


    misunderstandings between the couple. The fact is that Maverick had a dinner with a friend.


    Everly would never jump into the trap on her own.


    Anyway, she had confidence in Maverick.


    Several hours after Maverick told her about the meal, she received the message. What a childish


    behavior.


    Everly didn''t think much of it. She even took a screenshot and nned to show it to Maverick. The sixth


    sense told her that the wirepuller was extremely likely to be Elenore?


    They had been close friends for many years? Really?


    However, Everly''s confidence was etched by the following contents in seconds.


    Below were more pictures:


    This meal was just a beginning. There were more photos, which had been taken before. Everly could


    not figure out the specific time. But the contents made her extremely ufortable. Her heart was


    beating fast.


    There were still many photos which recorded Maverick''s spending with that woman. Some were


    Regardless of shooting angel, anyone who have seen these photos would be ufortable.


    However, having not yet digested these photos Everly spotted some documents.


    [Miss Everly, do you think Mr. Maverick is really loyal to you? Not really. In fact, the one in the photo is


    also Maverick''s confidante. Did he tell you about it? Many men enjoyed the feeling of have an intimate


    friend who is less than a partner. I''m just giving you a piece of advice. In terms of self-value, you can''t


    gradually he would get bored. ]


    At this moment, Everly totally lost his temper.


    The bitterness that had been suppressed before was ignited, making her lost all reason.


    She did not want hold her temper, so she immediately post everything to Maverick.


    Why should she bear all these terrible things alone?


    She was indeed nothing and owned nothing. But being humiliated like this made her very unhappy.


    After sending all the contents, Everly was still notfortable. She remembered that she had signed


    up drawing ss on the Inte. In the afternoon, after arranging the servants to take care of her two


    children, she drove directly to the studio to talk to the people.


    -


    At the same time, Maverick, who was far away in Italy, immediately went to Elenore after he saw what

    Everly sent.


    After seeing all the contents, Elenore asked in disbelief, "Maverick, do you think it was me?"

 Chapter173 Painting Room

    Painting Room


    Maverick looked at Elenore, "I hope it is not you. This kind of behavior is very childish and boring, but I


    think it is necessary for me to ask you face to face. You know that I can investigate it."


    "You just thought it was me," Elenore said with a sad face.


    She smiled bitterly, "Do you think I''m such a stupid person? If it really was me, would there be a need


    for me to be so rough? What''s more, why would I do this? Do you think I''m jealous? You... Do you think


    I have any other thoughts about you?"


    Maverick frowned.


    Elenore said, "It has been so many years. You should know that we are friends. If I really had other


    thoughts about you, why would I wait until now? I''m straightforward. There is no need to y such


    childish tricks, right?"


    Maverick did not make a sound.


    "If you think it''s me, I have nothing to say."


    She paused for a moment, but she was still unconvinced. "Maverick, we have been friends for so many


    years. Now, however you like that woman, you should suspect me like this, right?"


    Maverick finally said, "As I said, I was just asking you. Because I didn''t want to investigate you behind


    your back, that''s why I put it on the table. Isn''t your reaction a little too much?"


    Elenore''s tone became sharper. "Am I not nice enough to you? All these years, I have done my best to


    help you, right? Don''t you think I will be sad if you are like this?"


    "I will investigate it thoroughly," Maverick said with a headache.


    In the end, the two parted on bad terms.


    After he left, the aggrieved and angry expressions on Elenore''s face disappeared. There was a bit of


    stubbornness in her eyes. Then she called and said, "Follow my instructions and proceed with the


    second step."


    He did not want to make too much of a fuss with Elenore. It was mainly because she had helped him in


    the past. Moreover, they had indeed been friends for many years. Even if he was an indifferent person,


    he would not be so ungrateful.


    He sat in the car and pondered.


    Putting everything aside, even if Elenore really did this behind his back, he thought that at most, he


    would just put the proof in front of her, and from then on, the two of them should not be in contact


    anymore.


    But now, he felt that things should not be that simple.


    Therefore, he quickly sent people to investigate.


    On the other hand, he called Everly immediately, but unfortunately, no one answered.


    He kept calling her. In the end, his phone was directly hit to the point that it ran out of battery. He was a


    little helpless. He definitely did not have the mood to stay in Italy. He simply let people prepare his


    luggage and went straight back to City C.


    ...


    In fact, it was not that Everly did not want to answer the phone on purpose.


    In the afternoon, she went to the painting room and had a good experience. After all, she had not


    touched this for many years, so her mobile phone was naturally muted.


    When she was in a bad mood, she didn''t like to go on a blind alley and it would be better for her to do


    something that distracted her attention.


    So she didn''t pay extra attention to the countless phone calls in her bag.


    Today, the owner of the studio was here. Everly had checked online before. The content of the studio


    was not bad. Moreover, the owner of the studio was a new artist in the circle.


    The work mainly used color to draw attention, and each picture had its own characteristics.


    The author was a man. He was about the same age as Everly. He looked gentle and elegant. She was


    almost a green hand. This author was quite a nice person. He asked her why she wanted to learn


    painting at this age.


    She said to him, "I liked it when I was in university. At that time, I didn''t have the conditions. I struggled


    for a few years just to do what I wanted to do. I never thought of bing famous. I wanted to make


    my dreame true. Even if I could only draw for a while, I would have no regrets for the rest of my


    life."


    The author named Dean seemed to admire her mentality. He raised his eyebrows and nodded.


    "Although I am not a very famous painter, I know many masters. I can introduce you to them slowly. If


    you it is appropriate for you, you cane to sster."


    "Thank you." She was very happy.


    Therefore, she spent the entire afternoon in the drawing room. As a person fond of drawing, even if the


    painting was not that good, she was still very interested.


    She waited until evening and felt a little hungry. Only then did she remember that she had been here all


    afternoon.


    It was really good to calm down. Anyway, he had never thought of those terrible things.


    She was ready to go back to the vi. She got into the car and took out her phone to look. It was turned


    off?


    She clearly remembered that in the afternoon, her phone was full of electricity, but she also thought of


    something. She had not touched her phone for the whole afternoon. ording to Maverick''s


    personality, he would definitely want to contact her.


    Everly looked for the data cable in her bag and connected it to the USB.


    After waiting for a while, the phone was turned on again. Sure enough, once connected to the Inte,


    countless missed calls popped up one after another, all of which were Maverick''s numbers.


    Just by feeling the vibration in her palm, she felt a little numb from the shock.


    After the phone call ended, a few messages popped up. They were all from him.


    "Maverick: Answer the phone."


    "Maverick: You should listen to my exnation. I told you that I knew her before. "


    "Maverick: Everly, we are all adults. Even if you don''t believe me, you shouldn''t doubt my character.


    Everything I said to you is true. "


    "Maverick: Are you really that angry? I will investigate clearly. No matter who is behind this, I will give


    you an exnation. "


    ...


    Everly looked at the content and couldn''t help but sigh softly.


    It''s an eventful time now. Maverick has been running to Italy all the time. It''s probably quite


    troublesome. Moreover, there are so many business rivals eyeing him. Moreover, it''s possible that


    Zane is the one who plotted against him behind his back...


    Was she really acted too much?


    There are some things that can be exined calmly, right?


    She had spent the entire afternoon drawing, and she had calmed down quite a bit.


    Therefore, Everly was ready to call him back, but the notification on the other side was off.


    She was somewhat disappointed and uneasy, and she drove back to the vi first.


    When she arrived at the vi, they saw Edmond and Candy jumping on the sofa in the living room. The


    two servants on the side took care of them very hard.


    However, when Edmond saw that his mother had returned, he obediently sat down.


    Candy also obediently called out "Everly."


    "This is very dangerous, don''t you know?" Everly nced at her son.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Mommy, I will take care of my sister."


    "No," Everly shook her head. "If an ident happens, it will be toote to regret. You can''t be so willful


    in the future."


    Edmond pouted and said, "Mommy, it''s boring. We can''t go to school. My sister and I are bored at


    home every day. Can we go out to y?"


    When she heard her son''s words, she felt a little sad. Her own affairs had caused the two children to


    have to stay at home every day. "Tomorrow, I will ask your father. If it is possible, we will send you to


    school, okay?"


    As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang.


    However, it was Hendrix this time.


    Hendrix said to her over the phone, "If you have time now,e back. Dad said he has something to


    tell you."

 Chapter174 Return to the Homeland

    Return to the Homnd


    It was time for dinner.


    Hendrix said, "Didn''t Maverick go to Italy? How about take the children here for diner? Mom has made


    something delicious."


    Everly nced at the dining room where the servants had probably already prepared dinner. Thinking


    that the trip was too time-consuming, she said, "Then I''ll go back in an hour. I won''t take the children


    with me. It takes too much time. Besides, there are more rumors outside so I''d better drive there


    myself."


    "Take care of yourself," Hendrix didn''t insist.


    Everly ate a little with the two children, and after settling them down, she drove back to the Farley''s.


    By the time she arrived, the Farleys had almost finished eating.


    Parrish said that he had something to tell Everly. It was obvious that it was a serious matter, for he


    called Everly into the study.


    After closing the door of the study, Parrish spoke, "You should know the reason why I called you back."


    Everly knew. On the way here, she had already thought of this. She said, "Dad, there are still a lot of


    gossips out there. I know that you are in a hurry and might think that this is unfair to Edmond, but five


    years have already passed like this. I was thinking that no matter what, I will make the decision after


    the matter is over."


    "Back then, when you wanted to have a child, I did not agree. I was afraid that you would lose too


    much for it." Parrish was different from before. This time, he was really calm. "But you insisted. If your


    mother and I did not choose topromise, do you think you could go abroad smoothly?"


    Everly remained silent.


    Parrish sighed, "As parents, how can we really make our children live a worse life? After you told me


    about Maverick, I thought about a lot. Have you thought about it? Edmond should return to the


    homnd. This is the traditional idea of us, and I also inquired about the situation of the Lamont family.


    Everly, I am really worried that you can''t handle it. And our two families should officially sit down and


    talk about Edmond''s future, right?"


    "Dad, the child''s business is his own concern, and Maverick and I have our own business to handle. I


    don''t think there is any conflict. In fact, before I married him, I did not know about Edmond''s biological


    father."


    "Are you trying to tell me that the matter of the child is not enough to affect your rtionship?"


    "About that, I didn''t married him because of the children."


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Parrish nodded and said, "I know that you are very assertive and I know I can''t change what you think.


    DNA test doesn''t mean anything, but it is just a formality. Do you understand?"


    "I''ll talk to Maverick."


    "It is necessary for you to understand the Lamont family." Parrish seemed to want to say something but


    hesitated. He pondered for a moment and said, "The Lamont family used to have a close rtionship


    with the Kahl family, the Croke family, and the Rice family. They even destroyed the Waller family


    together. However, Maverick''s mother was Kailey, the daughter of the Waller family. Do you know all


    these?"


    ''It seemed what Maverick has said to me was just the floating part of the iceberg.


    From the looks of him, dad seems to know a lot?''


    Everly asked, "Dad, how do you know this?"


    Parrish''s eyes shed slightly. "The incident back then caused quite a stir in City C, which I know it''s


    not strange."


    "But as far as I know, there are very few people who still mentioned it now."


    "That''s because it was deliberately concealed by someone. Kailey should still be alive, and Maverick is


    now fighting with the Kahl and Rice Family, but it is his revenge."


    Everly thought about it, "I seldom ask him about it for I have thought it is his work." She told Parrish her


    decision to go back to learning painting.


    Parrish didn''t object and finally told Everly, "This time, Maverick is back. Let hime to see me again.


    He should know what I told himst time. No matter what, Edmond is now at the age when he can''t


    "I understand, Dad."


    Everly asked, "Dad, how are you recently?"


    "Don''t worry about me. What happened to the ssmate who now is dead?"


    Everly thought that those things were tooplicated, and that it was not appropriate to tell him, so


    she avoided the important things and said a few words casually.


    Then she left the study.


    Hendrix was going to send her back to the vi at night. On the way, Everly told Hendrix about the


    analysis she had with Beth.


    After Hendrix heard this, he actually did not find it strange. Perhaps he had already known about


    Zane''s specific whereabouts at the first possible moment, so he said confirmatively, "It''s purely


    because of some interests in the business world. I don''t think it''s strange that Zane wants to take the


    position. His eyes are good at concealing the very desires of his."


    He turned the steering wheel and said, "So in the past two years, he seemed to be quiet. I have always


    suspected that he was faking it. However, I just know that his legs were crippled because of Maverick.


    Who knows if it is true? Now that you mention it, if it really has something to do with his first love,


    maybe this person is plotting something."


    "Is he very dangerous?"


    Hendrix smiled and said, "Don''t worry, Maverick is also a hard nut to deal with."


    Everly pursed her lips and stopped talking.


    Hendrix thought that she was worried about Maverick, so heforted her and told her, "There should


    be some internal turmoil in the Lamont Group recently. Maverick has been in Italy during this time and


    he is also very ambitious. But speaking of which, the Kahl and Rice family are eyeing him covetously. I


    think Maverick is currently being suppressed. Do you want to ask if he needs any help? Ah, no matter


    what, he is still my brother-inw. I know that he treasures his dignity more than anyone so it is


    embarrassing for him to ask for help directly. Or do you want to mention this to him or not? I don''t want


    my sister to suffer with him in the future."


    At his words, Everly was reminded that Maverick had a girlfriend who seemed to be quite powerful.


    For a moment, she couldn''t help but ask, "Brother, have you heard of a woman named Elenore?"


    Hendrix raised his eyebrows. "Elenore? The one who makes cosmetics? Of course I know. She is a


    very sessful person, and is also from City C. However, she went abroad very early to manage a


    business. She is rtively low-key, but she has been busy with her business for these years. Maybe


    some of the cosmetics you are using are made by hispany."


    When Everly heard this, she felt even worse.


    She felt there was no need for her to inspect the cosmetics at home. She would use whatever wasn''t


    made by this woman''spany.


    But at the same time, she felt that this idea of hers was really childish.


    "This is really annoying," She thought.


    When Hendrix saw that she was silent for a long time, he suddenly thought of something, "Elenore and


    Maverick knew each other. Could this be the reason that you ask about her?"

 Chapter175 Everly, This Is What I Like About You

    Everly, This Is What I Like About You


    "Of course not. I saw something today and just asked you casually," Everly denied.


    Hendrix knew his sister very well.


    Now it seemed that his sister really cared about Maverick, not to mention the children. Hendrix thought


    that since they were family in the future, he would definitely stand on the same side as Maverick.


    The car soon arrived at the vi. It was gettingte. After Everly got off the car, Hendrix did not go up to


    see his nephew and left directly.


    The weather was pretty good today. During this season, there was still some temperature difference


    between day and night. When she had just gone out, she had put on a coat. Standing in the courtyard


    now, she did not feel cold.


    Maverick''s vi was priceless. The previous times she came here, she did not have a good look at the


    vi. It was already night and the lights in the garden were lit up. She stood quietly in the courtyard and


    actually felt that it was very beautiful.


    Maybe Candy needed it, so there was a swing in the yard.


    Everly reached out and adjusted her coat. She walked over and sat down on the swing. She suddenly


    felt a gust of cold airing from behind her.


    The familiar feeling stunned her for a moment. She wondered if it was because she missed him too


    much that she had this kind of illusion.


    But before this thought shed through her mind, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on her shoulders.


    Immediately after, she felt her body being pulled into someone''s embrace, her back pressed against


    the man''s chest.


    "Why didn''t you answer my call?" "Do you know how worried I am?" the low male voice asked, clearly


    tired.


    "You, why did you...e back?" She struggled for a moment. Maverick hugged her tighter. She did


    not dare to move around casually. She was not really stupid and whispered, "It''s not that I didn''t pick up


    your call on purpose. I had something to do in the afternoon, and I called youter, but your phone was


    turned off. I thought you were busy."


    Thinking about it now, it was estimated that he should be on the ne back then.


    "You didn''t pick up my call the whole afternoon. If I didn''te back, I wouldn''t be able to stay in Italy


    that far away." "It''s windy outside tonight. Don''t catch a cold." He picked her up and walked into the


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    room.


    After going into the house, Maverick directly brought the person upstairs. Only then did she realize that


    he was still well-dressed and his hair wasbed meticulously. He looked like he was attending a


    meeting and suddenly pulled back. She had so much resentment before, but at this moment, she felt a


    little guilty.


    "Everly, let''s have a talk." He sat face to face with her. The man gently pinched her fingers and said in a


    low voice, "First of all, no matter what happens in the future, you must pick up the phone. I will be by


    your side 24/7, but at every minute and every second, you are in my heart. You won''t know how


    nervous I am if you are not well."


    If it was the same mentality as before, she would definitely not listen to him quietly.


    Even if she knew that it was someone else who was deliberately trying to make her angry and then had


    a dispute with him.


    But women were like this. Most of the time, love made people dizzy. Even though they knew it was a


    trap, they still did not let it go.


    Moreover, the one called Elenore was so outstanding. Everly had never been a person who felt too


    inferior, but now she could not stop this kind of negative emotion.


    But it was only when he sat in front of her that she knew the problem.


    She had no sense of security and was afraid that this outstanding man would not truly belong to her.


    In the past, he always felt that his interest in her could notst for a long time. Later, she finally


    convinced herself and tried to get along with him. Then she knew that he was the man from five years


    ago. There was now a small life of them.


    For many women, this is how mother relying on child, right?


    However, only Everly herself knew that what she yearned for had always been pure feelings.


    "Sorry." She said in a low voice, "I know that my action was very willful, but I did need to be calm back


    then. Maverick, actually all these years... I never thought about trying to be together with someone


    else. Sometimes, I really feel that getting along with someone is too tiring. At the beginning, I was very


    afraid to contact you because I knew that we were people from two different worlds."


    Maverick asked, "What about now?"


    "I can''t be sure." "You are Edmond''s father, and we are destined to be together. But feelings... are too


    illusory. Sometimes, people and people will have to go through so many difficulties with just that


    feeling. I know that you have been very busy recently and have a lot of things to do. I can''t help you


    with anything, but I still want to throw a tantrum like this with you. In fact, I know that it is wrong, but I


    can''t control myself."


    "So you''re apologizing to me now?"


    Everly frowned. She didn''t know what he was trying to express.


    She apologized. She felt that she had done something wrong.


    But those that others inexplicably sent to her... she could not avoid minding that.


    "I should apologize, but you and Elenore... I''m sorry. I can''t let you continue to say that there was


    nothing between you. I am very petty and possessive. I never knew that I was such a person before. If


    you think I have a problem, I..."


    Before she could finish her words.


    The man held the back of her head with one hand. She widened her eyes. Her breath was still stuck in


    her throat, and her lips were directly kissed by him.


    The rest of the words were naturally swallowed up.


    His kiss was aggressive. She could even feel that there was a bit of unspeakable impatience between


    them. She was very discouraged and wanted to show her mature thoughts. As she spoke, she seemed


    to show her attitude and determination.


    She did not dare to struggle. When he pried open her teeth and rudely began to siege and plunder, all


    the breath in her lungs was squeezed out.


    For a moment, it was difficult to even breathe.


    Her face was even more red.


    In the end, when the man gently bit her lips, fresh air finally came.


    He slightly narrowed his eyes, reached out and pinched her chin, and said in a deep voice, "Breathe."


    Everly felt like a fish that was on the verge of death. Finally, there was a fresh water source. She


    opened her mouth and tookrge breaths.


    Seeing that she was more or less adjusted, he forced her to raise her head and meet his eyes.


    Her eyes were moist and seducing.


    He could not control the heat that was stirred up in his body, but he was still rtively calm and said,


    "You don''t have to apologize to me. If you have a temper, you can vent it on me. But I am very happy


    that you are not the person who didn''t say anything to me when things happened. Instead, you just


    threw all those things to me. Everly, this is what I like about you."

 Chapter176 I Dont Have to Wait until Now If I Like Her

    I Don''t Have to Wait until Now If I Like Her


    Everly was a little stunned.


    Maverick gently pressed the corner of her lips with his hand. His gaze was soft, "Why don''t you


    continue? You are not angry now?"


    It made Everly feel like an unreasonable child, though the man didn''t show any disgust. She asked,


    "What do you mean?"


    "You don''t have to worry about anything. You can just be yourself. You can say anything you want. You


    don''t have to beat around the bush. Because you are my girl. Do you understand?"


    These words were like chocte wrapped in colored paper.


    It was so sweet that she was deeply touched.


    "You... Don''t you think I am just a nobody?" She pursed her lips and looked at Maverick with watery


    eyes.


    Maverick was a smart person, so he immediately got what she meant.


    Actually, he felt that Everly was a proud little woman.


    When she first met him, she was just a secretary. She could endure many things just because of his


    casual words.


    The people in thepany had been gossiping about her behind her back. But she did not seem to


    care much about it.


    Because she believed that she was no worse than others. People who were inferior to her in ability and


    gossiped behind were just jealous of her.


    However, now she was somewhat uneasy.


    Maverick leaned over and kissed her forehead, saying in a gentle voice, "Silly girl, how can you be


    nobody? You are the woman I like. You are my baby. You cannotpare people in a simple way. You


    think I am good. But there are people better than me. Do you want to know anyone of them?"


    "I don''t want to."


    "That''s right. And what about me?" Maverick flicked the tip of her nose and shook his head,


    "Sometimes I think you are so smart, and sometimes I think you are silly. Elenore and I have known


    each other for many years. Perhaps you think I knew her feelings and that I still chose to be her friend,


    pretending to be blind to it. But it was just her own feelings. She helped me before. She didn''t confess


    her love so I don''t have any reason to be cold to her. Also, if I like her, why should I wait until now?


    Now you are by my side again. No matter how good she is, she can''tpare to you, not even a bit."


    No matter how good she was...


    She could notpare to you, not even a bit.


    Everly repeated those words over and over again. She carefully thought about them. Then, like soft


    bubbles, they spread and filled her heart. It was magical and she felt secure.


    She couldn''t help but smile.


    "She is not only excellent but beautiful. Don''t you think so?" She pursed her lips like a spoiled child and


    muttered, "And I think she can be of great help to you."


    "Yes. That is true." Maverick said.


    Everly was angry and said, "What do you mean? Do you really think she is prettier than me?"


    Everly realized that she was being self-contradictory. So, she added, "Right. She is prettier than me. In


    a word, she is better than me in everything."


    Maverick was amused by her being grouchy and said, "Baby, you are so cute. Alright, it doesn''t matter


    whether you are beautiful or not. Do you remember what I told you a long time ago? I said I had many


    choices if I wanted someone more beautiful than you to make fun of. But the fact is, I only want you."


    Joy shed across Everly''s eyes.


    ''It seems that I have gone too far.'' Everly thought.


    But for some reason, she felt happy. It was like riding a roller coaster and she was almost flying.


    ''So, it is true.''


    ''When women are in love, they like to hear such sweet words. They want constant affirmation from the


    men they love.''


    Everly wanted to be a better person.


    "I will work hard."


    "For what?"


    "I will work hard to be someone worthy of you."


    Maverick looked at her with his gentle eyes, "You don''t have to do that. But I need you to start working


    out."


    As he spoke, his mouth was close to the corner of her lips. He looked into her eyes with distinct desire.


    "Baby, do you know that you have fainted several times recently? Work hard to feed your man. OK?"


    Everly wanted to say something.


    But he kissed her and she could not resist.


    Everly was shocked. This man has been travelling a lot for business. But he was always in high spirits


    every time on the bed.


    ''How much energy exactly does a man have?''


    ...


    Everly and Maverick were enjoying their happiness.


    The Kahls, though in the same city, didn''t have such a harmonious atmosphere.


    Alex had been in City C recently. The Kahl family''s share prices had dropped several times due to


    Sarah. It was not yet settled so the broad impeached Alex.


    Originally, he wanted to go to Italy and take Maverick''s significant position. But what his useless


    daughter did had caused great loss before he could get any profit.


    Therefore, Alex was angry with Carolina.


    As for Miley, she had felt good these days.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    When one daughter made trouble, another one would get a better share of the father''s love.


    Carolina had been strained badly. The situation didn''t get better until she gave the temporary project to


    Alex.


    The youngdies'' expense had relied on the family''spany. Alex froze almost all of their ounts


    since the share prices fell.


    And they had just got some of the cards back.


    Carolina just finished a water massage and came back home. She saw Alex and Miley sitting in the


    living room. They seemed to be discussing something. Miley was smiling and talking sweetly, "I think


    this one is quite good. Oh, what about him? He is more suitable for Carolina. I think they have simr


    temperaments. Dad, what do you think?"


    Alex raised his eyebrows, "We may break off rtions with Den at any time now. I hope you can


    help me. You have grown up and should not keep making trouble. I hope that you can win new partners


    for ourpany by marriage. Your sister will get married soon. And the next one is you. But don''t


    worry, there are several candidates. You can choose by yourself."


    Carolina was shocked. Before Miley replied, Carolina walked up to them with anger, "Dad... You want


    me to get married?"


    Alex raised his hand and threw the photos to her. Carolina looked at them and her expression changed.


    No wonder Miley was so enthusiastic about it.


    Carolina didn''t know any of the men and they seemed to be from other countries.


    His father was marrying her to a stranger.


    She had studied abroad and met many guys.


    Although she dated some of them, she had never thought about marrying someone and leaving her


    mothend.

 Chapter177 Do You Think the Crokes Second Son Will Be Interested in You?

    Do You Think the Crokes'' Second Son Will Be Interested in You?


    Miley fanned the mes, "Carolina, you are not a child anymore. In fact, Dad is very considerate of you.


    Look at the embarrassing news about you. Who could ept your past? So don''t waste time being


    picky. Just get married and leave here."


    Carolina was already very angry. Miley was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire. With a cold face, she


    retorted, "Then why don''t you marry one of them? Why should I do that? I have nobody to rely upon


    abroad! Dad, I know you are mad at me due to what I have done. But no matter what, I don''t want to go


    abroad. Last time you talked about the Rice family... I can marry into them."


    Alex did not say anything. Miley said, "The Rice family? Carolina, you don''t know what father is worried


    about, do you? Den is foxy. We can''t form a connection with the Rice family. We should ally


    ourselves with the Croke family."


    ''The Croke family?''


    ''The Croke family also had good young men.''


    Carolina quickly searched her mind. The Crokes were not bad. She had focused on Maverick and


    ignored other people. Now that there was no hope on Maverick, Carolina would not let go of the


    second-best.


    "Dad, I know Gabriel Croke, the oldest son of the Crokes. Can I go and meet him myself?" Carolina


    said in a low voice.


    Alex nced at his daughter, "Do you think Gabriel will marry you? Besides, I heard that Gabriel is


    seeing someone. The Croke family is basically under Gabriel''s control. He had a younger brother.


    However, you are older than his brother. And Miley had been in contact with him. Do you think you


    have a chance?"


    Carolina was upset and red at Miley with some resentment.


    "Dad, I really don''t want to live abroad. Can you give me a chance?"


    Miley still wanted to say something, but Alex interrupted her. He was not that cold-blooded and


    indifferent. He probably thought of the project in City L and said, "If you can find a suitable match, I


    won''t force you to marry another man. But you have to know that mypany is the most important.


    You have obtained a lot more than other girls over the years. Now it is time for you to do something for


    me in return. Understand?"


    "Yes, Dad."


    Then Alex left.


    Carolina was furious and red at Miley, "What the hell are you doing? You hit me when I''m down.


    Aren''t you afraid of retribution!"


    "What retribution?" Miley didn''t seem to care and shrugged, "My dear sister, you have schemed against


    me many times. I have taken the me for your previous scandal, right? We are the same kind of


    people. Don''t pretend to be virtuous. You would kill me if you have the chance, wouldn''t you?"


    Carolina''s chest heaved up and down as she got irritated. But she didn''t continue to argue with her. It


    was pointless.


    "It''s me this time. The next one is you. It''s still too early for you to celebrate. Also, can you win the heart


    of the Crokes'' second son? Look at yourself. Can youpare to him? I am not looking down on you.


    But I think you know what kind of person he is."


    "Thank you for your concern. Every man likes beautiful women and just wants to sleep with them.


    Carolina, I think you have been exhausted after dating so many guys. Right? But I am still young and


    passionate. I have many opportunities. Don''t worry. The Kahl family won''t break down as long as I am


    here."


    Carolina didn''t say anything else and went upstairs with her bag.


    After entering the room, she still felt angry. She threw the cosmetics on the table away and smoked two


    cigarettes. Only then did she calm down a little.


    Why did things be like this?


    She was once a proud woman who owned a lot of things.


    It was all because of Maverick... She had been by his side for so many years. But she had got nothing


    and even ended up in such a dilemma due to him.


    She couldn''t ept it.


    She gave him her youth and love. But he refused, threw them on the ground and stomped on it.


    ''Maverick...''


    ''You are cold-blooded.''

    Looking back on the past years, Carolina felt she had treated Candy wholeheartedly. But what had


    Candy done for her?


    She was ungrateful and even more ruthless than Maverick.


    The more Carolina thought about it, the angrier she became. Her chest was filled by the fire of anger.


    ...


    Edmond and Candy saw Maverick the next morning.


    The children were extremely happy.


    Edmond held Maverick and kept asking when he could go to school.


    Edmond was closer to his mother when he was abroad. Now that he came back home and spent more


    time with his father, they became intimate.


    Maverick had breakfast with his children. Edmond asked again, "Dad, when can we go to school? It''s


    boring at home. I want to y with my ssmates."


    "I''ll get someone to send you thereter. But if there is any problem at school, tell me at once. OK?"


    When Edmond heard that he could finally go to kindergarten, he was very happy, "Really? OK. OK.


    And I will take care of my sister."


    Maverick thought for a moment and said to his son softly, "Dad and Mom''s identities are a little special.


    So, Edmond, don''t tell anyone about us in school. Keep your identity a secret at the kindergarten for


    now."


    Everly heard it.


    It reminded her of something that her father mentioned before.


    Edmond didn''t haveplicated thoughts and would just listen to his father. He immediately agreed.


    Maverick asked the driver to send them to the kindergarten. And he also asked Jayden to arrange


    bodyguards to follow them all day.


    "When are we going to Italy?" Everly asked Maverick after the children left.


    Maverick answered, "It depends on the situation. There is a problem with Lamont Group now. I need to


    deal with it and will stay here for the next few days."


    Everly thought of what Hendrix had told her before and was a little worried, "Is it your big brother... I


    mean Zane. I have heard something."


    Maverick rubbed Everly''s long hair, "Don''t worry. I know what I''m doing."


    "In fact, Beth told me something about Zane and you..."


    "What is it?"


    "Well... It''s about Zane''s first love. Actually... I didn''t mean to inquire about your past, but I think it is not


    a coincidence that so many things happened recently. Maverick, don''t you feel something strange


    about Zane? I know that your grandpa''s resources have been handed to Zane due to Sarah''s death.


    He has got the most benefit in this incident."

 Chapter178 I Am Glad That Your Brother Is Willing to Help Me

    I Am d That Your Brother Is Willing to Help Me


    After listening to what Everly said, Maverick told her everything in the past.


    "I didn''t take those things seriously, because I felt that it had nothing to do with me. But now I think


    maybe I was the only one who thought that way. I owed Zane, but it was true that I didn''t have much


    connection with that woman."


    He paused and fixed the cor of his shirt before continuing, "In fact, I don''t even remember what that


    woman looked like. She was close to Zane and often visited the Lamont''s. When I was little, I went


    abroad with my mother and rarely came back. After I grew up, I returned to the country frequently. It


    was for my mother and also for myself. Because I never really let go of everything here. I have told you


    something about the Waller family. My mother is a Waller. My purpose is to make people return what


    they took from the Waller family."


    "Maybe that woman has seen me at that time. I remember she was young at that time, and Zane liked


    her very much. She might also know that. Zane was the heir of the Lamont family. The Lamont family


    was moving into top gear and didn''t need to gain business through marriage. Zane did say to his family


    that he wanted to marry that woman."


    Maverick said, "I think her name is Tracy Guzman. I can''t remember what she exactly looks like now.


    But she is quite pretty. Zane really likes her. And one day, when I was in Italy, Zane suddenly called me


    and asked me toe back. I thought there was something urgent. In fact, I always feel connected to


    Zane and I understand him. So, I didn''t me him for anything. His early experience was no better


    than me and he had always been restrained by the Lamont family. He was very amiable to me. But his


    tone on the phone was a little different, so I came back."


    "And then?" Everly thought what Beth said was probably true. It was at that time that Zane''s leg got


    Maverick said, "When I came back, I heard that Tracy had died in an ident. Zane seemed to have


    gone crazy. He felt that it was my fault. He said that Tracy had died due to my promise. I did not know


    what I had promised her. It turned out that when I was still in the country. Tracy confirmed something


    through my assistant and said that she wanted to meet me. I didn''t know what she wanted to say to


    me. It was probably about Zane so I agreed. Later, I went to Italy because I had something to handle


    there. She had a car ident on the way to see me. When Zane arrived, she had died. There was a


    diary in her relic. Young girls like to write diaries. Her diary is all about me. Only then did Zane realize


    that Tracy didn''t like him. He was angry. However, Tracy had died and he could not vent his anger.


    When I came back, he took me to the scene of Tracy''s car ident. I did not think that I was wrong


    because I waspletely unaware of her feelings. We had a dispute. When we were pushing back


    and forth, he was hit by


    a car. His leg gotme. And that''s why I have felt sorry to him."


    Everly sighed as Maverick finished telling the whole story.


    It was not Maverick''s fault.


    And those were idents.


    Seeing that Maverick was silent, Everly asked in a low voice, "So, you know about it. Right? Does Zane


    have anything to do with Sarah''s death?"


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    "He is not a simple person." Maverick concluded, "I don''t believe him. It is because when I take over


    Lamont Group, it had lost at least eighty million. Zane knew well about the problem. He also knew that


    Will had left a mess. He didn''t have the ability to deal with it. That was why he did me the favor and


    gave the position to me. He wanted me to feel uneasy. And he also knew my purpose."


    "Then why didn''t you tell people about what he did?"


    "There''s nothing to say about this. He took what he needed. So did I." Maverick raised his eyebrows, "It


    was also a chance for me to return him a little favor. He really liked Tracy. For so many years, he had


    never forgotten her. At that time, I also needed Lamont Group as a backup. I brought back my capital in


    Italy through it. And now, Zane felt it was good timing for him. I guessed he was using Sarah''s


    incidence to weaken me and win himself Levi''s trust."


    "That is really tricky." Everly shook her head. No wonder he looked gloomy.


    Maverick said, "Well, you don''t have to worry about these things. I will solve them. Didn''t you say


    yesterday that you have to go to the studio today?"


    Everly nodded, "It''s fine. I just need to be there by one o''clock in the afternoon."


    "I will go with youter."


    "You are avable?"


    Maverick nodded.


    He wanted to find out which studio she was going to.


    Everly saw him receive many calls. They should be about thepany. She had worked there before,


    so she knew a little of the business. And recently there has been a project about City L. Everly saw


    some news that it had been taken by the Kahl Group.


    She thought of the business trip when they ran into the local viins. They got the project atst. But


    why was the project proposal stolen now?


    Maverick said, "Just do as I said before." Everly didn''t know who he was talking with.


    "Yes. He will find out the problem within a week."


    ...


    Then, to Everly''s surprise, he smiled. His expression was very rxed and even carried a bit of joy.


    And he replied, "I am taking it as apliment. Bye."


    When Maverick hung up the phone, Everly was also ready to go out. When they arrived at the garage,


    the driver had been waiting there.


    Everly got in the car and asked Maverick, "Are you really alright? My brother told me that you are now


    surrounded by many enemies. Maybe my brother can..."


    Maverick held her hand and said in a deep voice, "You don''t believe in your man? If I am justmon,


    how could I be where I am today? I am d that your brother is willing to help me. But I am fine now."

 Chapter179 Husband and Wife

    Husband and Wife


    Since Maverick had said so, Everly would not mention it.


    The driver had sent her to the studio yesterday, so he knew the way.


    Sitting in the back seat, Maverick was busy answering the phone. Everly vaguely heard something


    about the Lamont Group.


    Zane was different now. Previously, he kept a low profile. But this time, under the influence of Levi, he


    returned. In addition to some negative news about Maverick, the Lamont Group was now in turmoil.


    There was a problem with the project in City L, and it was taken away by the Kahl Group.


    Even if Maverick was a major shareholder of the Lamont Group, if the banks withdrew their funds from


    most of the projects, he would be at risk.


    He seemed not to be affected, so she guessed that his working ability was not as simple as she had


    seen. Since he asked her not to worry and she could not help much, she might as well not ask more. It


    should be best if she was good.


    When they arrived at the entrance of the studio, Dean was standing at the door making a call.


    After Everly and Maverick got out of the car, Dean greeted, "Everly, you came quite early today."


    They had exchanged names yesterday, so he called her names directly. However, Everly still called out


    with a respectful attitude, "Mr. Dean."


    Dean smiled and recognized Maverick standing next to Everly. To a certain extent, people who drew


    would have contact with the upper ss. Besides, Maverick had been on the headlines recently.


    Dean stretched out his hand, "Mr. Maverick. d to meet you. You and Miss Everly are..."Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    "Husband and wife." Maverick gently touched Dean''s hand, which was kind enough.


    Dean was surprised. "Is Miss Everly married?" He recalled the basic conversation yesterday. Everly


    said that she was single.


    But she suddenly had a husband, and it was Maverick.


    Everly wanted to exin, but she resisted the desire to exin at the sight of Maverick''s jealousy.


    Anyway, it was the same no matter what he said. Moreover, she had a sweet sense of security deep in


    her heart.


    Maverick admitted her in front of outsiders. Nothing was more reassuring than this.


    Everly nodded casually and Dean didn''t ask anymore. Then, Everly turned to Maverick and said, "Go


    and do what you need to do. I''ll be here for an afternoon."


    Maverick helped herb her hair and raised his eyebrows, "Call me when you''re done." Then he


    looked at Dean, "Sir if there is a problem, you can contact me at any time."


    He gave Dean his business card as if he was her parent.


    Maverick''s business card was not something that anyone could get. Dean needed to get to know the


    upper-ss people, so he was overjoyed. He felt good for Maverick''s wife was his student.


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Maverick. I will take good care of your wife."


    This pleased Maverick, who left with smiling eyes.


    Sometimes, Everly would feel that Maverick who was omnipotent outside was like a childish kid with


    her.


    After Maverick left, she went to ss. She had previously applied for a separate course, so it was


    usually Dean who tutored her at this time. Everly liked to draw and had basic skills, so for her, it was


    not too difficult to start drawing.


    The afternoon ss ended quickly, but she was a little tired after sitting for a long time.


    When the ss was over, she moved her muscles. Just as she was about to leave, Dean asked her,


    "Do you want to have a meal together? Didn''t you say that you wanted to meet Master Lucus before?"


    Everly''s eyes lit up. "Master Lucus? Is it Master Lucus I was talking about?"


    "Of course. Will there be a second one?"


    Dean took out his phone and showed her a WeChat message. It was indeed Lucus''s private ount.


    He said, "I won''t lie to you. He contacted me in the afternoon and said that he would pass by City C at


    night, so I will have a meal with him. I know that you really want to meet him. How about you go with


    me?"


    It was such a good opportunity and she was not the only one in the studio. Lucus was Dean''s teacher


    who had won countless awards over the years and was also aloof and proud.


    Lucus passed by City C and had a meal with his student, but Dean intended to introduce her. Everly


    was smart, so she knew Dean left such a good opportunity to her because of Maverick.


    Everly thought about it carefully and nodded.


    When she set off, she called Maverick, but no one picked up. Everly thought he might be busy.


    Originally, she wanted to say this matter, but then she simply sent him a message.


    Because it was a message, she said in short that she had something to do at night and would go back


    Since she could not contact Maverick, Everly contacted the driver at home to pick up the children.


    Today was the first day they went to kindergarten after the incident, and she did not want anything to


    happen.


    Reassuringly, the driver said that he and the children were on their way back.


    Everly asked the driver to give the phone to Edmond, said a few words to Edmond, and then talked


    with Candy. Only then was she satisfied.


    Feeling relieved, she surfed the Inte to find some news about the Lamont Group, but the news had


    been reced by the tidbits of some stars.


    She vaguely felt that it should be because of Maverick''s return. He must have covered the news.


    Because they almost arrived at the restaurant, Everly stopped holding her phone. Thinking that she


    would see Lucus who she admired very muchter, Everly turned her cell phone to vibrate mode.


    After driving for a while, they arrived at the destination.


    At the same time, at the entrance of the private club, another car stopped.


    The people in the two cars almost came out together, face to face.


    Even at night, Everly could see Carolina at a nce for they were so close.


    Everly thought about it carefully. This could be her second time meeting Carolina.

 Chapter180 If You Cant Get Him, You Would Rather Destroy Him

    If You Can''t Get Him, You Would Rather Destroy Him


    Everly knew all the sordid things that Carolina did behind her back.


    The situation didn''t get worse and Maverick had made Carolina pay the price. Therefore, Everly


    decided to move on.


    She didn''t want to get involved in the mess.


    Today, she met Carolina. And there was an imposing man beside her.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Everly recognized him. It was Gabriel Croke, the oldest son of the Crokes.


    She used to seek sponsorship in thepany so she knew many famous people in this field. And


    Gabriel was among one of them.


    Gabriel was a very famous and outstanding young businessman in the country. He had his own skills in


    doing business.


    Different from Maverick, he only did domestic business. And unlike Den and Alex, he was clear


    about what he wanted so he had developed arge enterprise and was influential in the country.


    Everly knew that other than the Rice family and the Kahl family, the Croke family also had huge power


    in City C. The Croke family was not rted to the issues about Maverick. However, Carolina had been


    seeing Gabriel. What did this mean?


    She was a little worried. Maverick was already exhausted now. If the Croke family also went against


    him, he would have to fight the three great families.


    Everly stared at Carolina and Gabriel. She was not good at hiding her emotions. People could tell her


    real thoughts through her expression.


    Carolina did not expect to see Everly here. However, she felt superior with Gabriel beside her. She


    looked at Everly and sneered. It was provocative though she didn''t say anything.


    Gabriel was handsome and extraordinary. He also saw Everly. Gabriel knew her because there had


    been many gossips about Everly.


    He only took a nce and quickly looked away. He walked towards the entrance of the club. The


    manager hade out to wee him. Carolina followed behind him, swaying her hips.


    They didn''t seem to be intimate. But would two strangerse to this ce together? Their


    rtionship was self-evident.


    Everly was really worried.


    "Isn''t that the oldest son of the Crokes?" Dean came over.


    Everly recover from worry and said, "What?"


    Dean asked, "Don''t you know him?"


    "No."


    Dean was surprised and said, "I think he should be a friend of your husband''s. I have heard people


    saying that the rtionship between the Kahl family and the Lamont family is not good. Isn''t that Miss


    Kahl?"


    Everly thought that as an artist, Dean should be cold and arrogant. And he should not be interested in


    rumors. But as he asked those questions, his image in Everly''s mind totally changed. It was too


    unexpected to her.


    It was probably human nature.


    He was not a person of importance to her, so Everly didn''t think much and didn''t want to tell him the


    things behind it. She replied casually, "I don''t pay much attention to these things. I won''t have time to


    learn painting if I work on those business issues."


    Dean wasn''t stupid. He could tell that Everly didn''t want to talk about it. He smiled and nodded, "With


    Mr. Maverick as your backing, you can do whatever you want. Everly, you are lucky. I can tell that he


    loves you very much."


    Everly epted his ttery and smiled.


    Then they entered the club directly.


    Lucus hadn''te so they sat down to wait. However, half an hourter. Dean apologetically told her


    that Lucus had something else to do and was noting.


    Although Everly was a little disappointed, she could understand.


    They were a bit hungry now. Since Lucus was noting, Dean suggested that they went to have


    some food. Everly failed to find an excuse and thus agreed.


    During the meal, Dean went to answer a call. Everly took her handbag and went out for a bathroom.


    By coincidence, when she found the bathroom, she heard Carolina talking on the phone. Carolina


    probably didn''t notice Everly and said, "I know. I am trying. Don''t expect sess overnight. She can do


    it. So can I. And..."


    Carolina felt someone was standing behind her. She suddenly turned around and saw Everly. She was


    shocked and her eyes widened.


    Carolina hurriedly said to the person on the phone, "I have to go now. Bye."


    "Everly, how can you eavesdrop on my call? Shame on you!" Carolina put away her phone and red


    at Everly.


    Everly was irritated due to the sudden scold. She said with a cold face, "This is a public bathroom. And


    you were talking too loudly. I am not eavesdropping on you. Should people cover their ears when they


    see you on your phone? I am not interested in your conversation. You don''t need to be so nervous."


    Carolina sneered, "You are not interested in it? I''m afraid that you are already worried to death because


    Maverick has been surrounded by enemies. Do you think you can remain so cocky after I get married


    to Gabriel?"


    "Why should I be cocky in front of someone who only knows ying tricks? If you think I am annoying,


    maybe it is because you have low self-esteem. And I fear I can''t help you on that."


    "Everly, stop bragging. Maverick is almost over."


    "If you can''t get him, you would rather destroy him. Right?"


    "Right. I have been by his side for so many years." Carolina became upset as she spoke, "I helped him


    take care of his daughter and didn''t ask for any promise. Everly, do you really think that he is a good


    man? Don''t be silly! Maverick is selfish and self-centered. He only cares about himself. You won''t be


    better than me. You should be careful. Besides, you have a child. Do you think a man like Maverick can


    be loyal to one woman for a lifetime?"


    Everly was stunned due to this question.


    What Carolina said was women''s biggest concern in a rtionship.


    But no matter how much Everly cared about it, she would not show it on her face.


    She suddenly felt bored. Carolina had a happy life. Why would she get herself into trouble? What did


    she want?


    She was probably mad.


    Everly didn''t want to argue with her and turned around to leave. But Carolina didn''t want to let her go.


    She stepped forward and blocked her way, "You are worried about it, aren''t you? There are many


    outstanding women around Maverick. How can you be sure that you are the one for him?"

 Chapter181 You Are No Match for Everly

    You Are No Match for Everly


    Everly said impatiently, "Miss Carolina, please have some self-respect. It is your business no matter


    you are doing good or not. No one owes you anything. You should know that no matter how many


    years you have been with Maverick, it is your choice. You should know better than me what happened


    between you two. I don''t understand why you regret it now. You know that Maverick was using you but


    you still chose to be with him. So, please stopining!"


    These words hurt Carolina.


    She was furious but she noticed that scar on the corner of Everly''s eyes.


    The scar was new because it had not been very long after what happened to Sarah. Carolina was


    tickled off again and she had to find herself an outlet.


    She sneered and pointed at Everly''s scar, mocking, "Have you forgotten the scar on your face? Don''t


    you have anything to do with Sarah''s death? If I were you, I would not be able to sleep at night


    because I will feel guilty! Sarah would not die without you. You killed her!"


    Everly didn''t want to argue with Carolina anymore. It could only upset her.


    Everly said coldly, "Whatever you think, I am not guilty. You should ask yourself why Sarah would do a


    live stream? Aren''t you who told her to do so? I don''t want to bring it out because everyone knows it. I


    am not afraid of you but I just believe that you gain what you sowed. I don''t want to have anything to do


    with you."


    Everly pushed Carolina away but she pushed too hard so Carolina''s wrist hit the door frame. Carolina


    felt aggrieved so she wanted to hit Everly.


    Everly was agile so she dodged. Carolina hit nothing.


    The expression of Carolina was awful. Everly felt that Carolina wanted to eat her alive.


    What happened to Sarah taught Everly a lesson so she didn''t want to be disfigured. The scar on the


    corner of her eyes was a warning. Everly wanted to leave as soon as possible.


    However, Carolina was following behind Everly so Everly thought that Carolina was insane.


    When Everly walked to the corner, she hit someone identally.


    Everly groaned and nearly tripped. But she was held by someone''s arm. After she stood still, she


    looked up and realized that the man she hit was Gabriel.


    Gabriel looked manly and he shared the same kind of hormone as Maverick though they were different.


    Everly felt awkward because she was not familiar with Gabriel. She stepped back and said, "I am sorry,


    Mr. Gabriel."


    People outside called him Mr. Gabriel so Everly called him so.


    Gabriel looked cold so Everly found that Maverick and he had something inmon.


    Everly had gotten used to Maverick''s cold look so she was not afraid of Gabriel.


    "Miss Everly, what''s wrong?" Gabriel said in a toneless voice but he was being polite. He looked over


    Everly''s shoulder and saw Carolina who had calmed down.


    Carolina rushed over and called, "Gabriel." Her voice was different now because she looked elegant


    but she was mean when she was talking with Everly. She said, "I was chatting with Miss Everly."


    Everly didn''t like to tell on anyone.


    She didn''t know what kind of person Gabriel was so she would not talk too much. It was Gabriel, not


    Maverick who Everly could trust.


    Everly thought that she didn''t lose just now.


    Everly smiled and said, "Mr. Gabriel, my friend is waiting for me so I have to leave now. I am so sorry


    about what happened just now."


    She was not being mean nor belittling herself.


    Everly could tell Gabriel what happened just now when he asked her. Other women would have told


    him when he asked.


    But Everly had Maverick behind her.


    She didn''t deny it when Carolina said that they were chatting. She had done Carolina a favor by not


    telling the truth.


    What Everly said was just to maintain her decency.


    Everly was decent and generous, which could be seen in her talk and behaviors. After she left, Gabriel


    said, "I finally know why after you have known Maverick for so many years, you still lose to Everly."


    The expression on Carolina''s face was hard to describe.


    Gabriel pulled his coat and said, "I have said what I want to say when I was having dinner with you. If


    you agree, please contact me. But Miss Carolina, you have to be smart and don''t mess up with


    Maverick''s woman when you are no match for her. What should I do if you cause any trouble?"


    Gabriel looked intimidating.


    Carolina was terrified of him and Gabriel''s expression reminded her of Maverick who had this


    expression in front of her many times before.


    She tightened her grip on the bag in her hand and said after a while, "Mr. Gabriel, you don''t have to be


    so mean. I am still the miss of the Kahl family!"


    "Miss Carolina, if you were your father''s favorite daughter, you would note to me. You used to be


    confident so you thought that only Maverick was worthy of you. But now you and your sister want to


    sacrifice your body to help your father?" Gabriel said.


    Carolina blushed and was rendered speechless.


    She was still arrogant so she retorted, "What about you, Mr. Gabriel? Why are you being so mean? I


    am still the miss of the Kahl family, which will never change! Mr. Gabriel should know that people like


    us are determined to sacrifice our marriage and love."


    Gabriel was pissed off but the anger in his eyes faded quickly so Carolina didn''t notice it.


    Before he left, he said, "Miss Caroline, contact me if you thought it through."


    ...


    Everly came back to the room and Dean was paying the check.


    "Mr. Dean, please allow me." Everly ran over.


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Dean said with a smile, "I would not let you. It is my treat this time. We still have a chance to dine


    together. I am sorry because Lucus didn''t show up. Next time I will invite him over again."

 Chapter182 I Had a Crush on Lawrence First

    I Had a Crush on Lawrence First


    Then Everly stepped back and let Dean pay the check. Her phone rang and it was Maverick.


    "Everly, I was hosting a meeting just now so I missed your call. Are you home?" Everly could tell that


    Maverick was still in the office.


    She replied, "I am ready to go home. How about you?"


    "Where are you? Tell me and I will go and pick you up," Maverick said.


    Everly thought that Maverick had been busy all day and he must have not had a meal. She wanted to


    go back by herself but she was afraid that Dean would offer to drive her back. So, Everly told Maverick


    where she was now.


    "Wait for me there. I will here soon," Maverick said.


    Everly hung up and Dean seemed to have heard their conversation. Dean said, "How about I wait here


    with you until Mr. Maverickes over? It iste now."


    "You don''t have to, Mr. Dean. I am alright so you can leave first," Everly refused.


    Dean insisted on waiting with her at first. But Everly was determined to wait alone so he left after they


    said goodbye.


    When Everly was waiting for Maverick outside, she saw a familiar figure who she had not seen for


    years.


    It was Miriam.


    Miriam was the sister of Beth!


    Everly knew what Beth looked like so she would not forget Miriam.


    Beth and Miriam were twins.


    They didn''t look quite alike but their figures and dressing styles were the same. After so many years,


    Miriam didn''t change the way she was dressed. Everly used to hang out with Beth so she got along


    well with Miriam, too. They used to talk a lot. Miriam''s hair was still short and her look didn''t change


    even after so many years.


    But what surprised Everly was that Miriam was with Lawrence.


    Everly couldn''t believe her eyes but she was sure that the man with Miriam was indeed Lawrence.


    What stunned Everly more was that Miriam was in Lawrence''s arms. Miriam and Lawrence were


    standing against Everly, Everly could observe them without being noticed by them.


    Everly was angry because Beth was her best friend and the boyfriend of her best friend was cheating


    on her.


    Everly felt as if the man who was cheating on Beth was her boyfriend.


    Beth hadpromised and stayed in City C for Lawrence. But Lawrence cheated on her and the


    woman was Beth''s sister...


    Everly wanted to greet them. But Lawrence seemed to have noticed Everly''s re so he turned


    around.


    Both of them felt awkward now.


    Everly calmed down and thought that Lawrence and Miriam should feel awkward and guilty. She was


    just a witness.


    Lawrence was surprised to see Everly. Everly was his aunt and she was also Beth''s best friend. But


    now Everly had seen him and Miriam.


    He lowered his head and said something to Miriam. Then Miriam turned around and looked at Everly.


    They knew each other so Miriam felt more than awkward.


    Lawrence wanted to let Miriam leave first but Miriam didn''t listen to him. Instead, she walked to Everly.


    Lawrence frowned and followed her.


    "Everly? It has been so long since thest time we met. You are back?" Miriam greeted naturally.


    Everly didn''t want to be mean but in Everly''s heart, Beth was her best friend. Although she and Miriam


    were friends, Everly wanted to defend Beth. She said coldly, "It has been years since thest time we


    saw each other. When did youe to City C? Does Beth know it?"


    Everly mentioned Beth on purpose because she wanted to see their reaction when they heard Beth''s


    name.


    After all, she had experienced it years before when her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend.


    But the different part was that Miriam was Beth''s sister.


    Lawrence felt embarrassed.


    However, Miriam looked calm and she said with a smile, "I was here recently so she doesn''t know."


    Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.


    Everly was half-smiling.


    Lawrence thought about it for a while and said, "Miriam has something to do here so she came over.


    Well, aunt..."


    Everly looked at Lawrence immediately when she heard "aunt".


    Lawrence nearly bit his tongue and said, "Uncle told me to call you this."


    Everly did not say anything.


    Miriam said, "Everly, can I talk to you?"


    "Sure." Everly nodded.


    Lawrence knew that he had to tell Beth at once or she would make a fuss. He wanted to exin but


    Everly would not listen to him now.


    Everly didn''t care what Lawrence was thinking about. The reason she didn''t tell Beth it at once was that


    she wanted to listen to Miriam''s exnation.


    They two walked to the other side outside the club.


    Miriam said first, "I know that you are Beth''s best friend. Now you have seen everything so you want to


    me me, right?"


    Everly said, "Miriam, we were not that close before but we were still friends. I always thought that you


    are a decent girl. Am I wrong?"


    Miriam knew that Everly was mocking her because she slept with her sister''s boyfriend.


    Miriam was pissed off so she said, "Please don''t mock me like that. You know nothing so why do you


    think that I steal Beth''s boyfriend? Lawrence is always mine. Who do you think that Lawrence has been


    with after all these years when Beth disappeared? Iforted Lawrence when Beth was away but she


    took away Lawrence when she came back. Isn''t she who is the indecent one? She left without telling


    anyone and my parents died because of her. But she was not guilty and spent my parents'' money as


    she liked. What do you think of her? You know nothing so please shut up!!"


    Everly didn''t know what Miriam just said because Beth didn''t tell her.


    However, Everly believed that Beth was not the kind of person.


    "I don''t care what happened between you, but I know that Lawrence loves Beth. You shouldn''te


    between them," Everly said.


    "Me? I had a crush on Lawrence first and it was also me who pursued him first. Beth wanted to take


    revenge on me so she pursued Lawrence, too." Miriam sneered.

 Chapter183 Are You Trying To Settle Scores?

    Are You Trying To Settle Scores?


    Everly was not interested in knowing the grudges between them.


    ording to Everly''s protective mentality, the first thing she thought of was that even if she was


    informed, Beth should be the one who told her.


    "You don''t have to say this. I think what you did was unreasonable." Everly calmed down for a moment


    and said very pertinently, "Miriam, you are Beth''s sister. I used to call you sister, too. I actually don''t


    have the right to tell you what happened between the two of you. But Beth is my friend. I can''t watch


    her being kept in the dark. So, I think you should tell her yourself."


    Miriamughed, "Don''t you know what kind of person my sister is? She won''t see me."


    "That''s your problem. I won''t speak up for anyone, but Beth is a good girl, and she will never cause


    trouble without a reason."


    Miriam was probably not convinced.


    Miriam did not say anything. Maverick came and Lawrence did not leave.


    Lawrence thought, ''In the middle of the night, Aunt Everly was here alone. She must be waiting for


    Uncle Maverick to pick her up. Lucas left because Aunt Everly''s got hurt, but now...


    She was quite miserable.


    Uncle Maverick contacted the people from the Bevell family. Lucas had his cards all stopped, not to


    mention his work was gone. Lucas didn''t spend much money, but it was like he was ced under


    house arrest. His father had always respected Uncle Maverick very much. After Uncle Maverick said


    that Lucas had a w in his work and needed to make improvements. Lucas''s father had already


    arranged for him to go abroad in the next half year.''


    It was terrifying just thinking about it.


    Lucas''s trip would take at least three years, or at most five years.


    Although Lawrence could not agree with what Lucas did, Lucas was still his younger brother. Lawrence


    still felt sympathy for him.


    Therefore, with the precedent, he didn''t dare to leave just like that.


    Indeed, after waiting for a while, he saw Uncle Maverick''s caring.


    Lawrence did not say much. A person like Uncle Maverick would definitely not be interested in such


    things. As expected, Uncle Maverick walked towards Aunt Everly the moment he got out of the car.


    "Everly." Maverick did not know Miriam. At this time, he stood next to Everly. He reached out and


    hugged the woman''s waist with possessiveness and looked at Miriam with scrutiny.


    This man was a bit cold, and his love and softness in the depths of his heart were given to Everly.


    His standing in front of anyone would make one feel a bit fearful.


    Miriam knew Maverick. Now that he was actually standing in front of her, she was at a loss for what to


    do.


    Lawrence stepped forward at this time and said to Maverick, "Uncle Maverick, take Aunt Everly home


    first. This is my friend, and I will send her back."


    Maverick only responded with a faint "Okay" and nced at Everly, asking her for her assent.


    Everly thought that she had said what she needed to say. Her gaze settled on Lawrence''s face. After a


    pause, she walked towards the car with Maverick.


    When they were far away, Lawrence sighed. He was troubled about how should he exin to Beth


    when he went back?


    Miriam looked at Lawrence and asked, "You lied. Are you with Beth now?"


    Lawrence knew that he couldn''t hide it any longer. Everly must have said something to her just now. He


    didn''t want to hide anything. Then he said, "I''m with Beth now. I didn''t tell you not because of you, but


    because of Beth."


    "Lawrence, you jerk. I have been by your side all these years." Miriam''s expression turned cold.


    "Miriam, I''ve been running around the world all these years. When have you been by my side? Can you


    please calm down? Don''t do this again..."


    "I liked you first. You also liked me back then. You are just deceived by Beth. Why don''t you believe


    me? At that time, I was the one who saved you. It was me, Miriam, not Beth. Her name was Beth, but


    her heart was harder than stone. Don''t you know that? Lawrence, you''re crazy that you should be with


    her again."


    Lawrence looked at Miriam and said in a low voice, "You are wrong. I have never left her. Miriam,


    everything you think of is wrong. There was no me and you, I have always liked Beth."


    Miriam was stunned and she almost lost her bnce.


    "I''m going to send you back to the hotel. It''ste." Lawrence was unwilling to continue talking about this


    in the middle of the night.


    Miriam didn''t say anything. Lawrence didn''t care and just pulled her into the car and drove directly to


    the hotel she was staying in.


    -


    Everly sat in the passenger seat and was still thinking about what had just happened.


    "What''s wrong?" Maverick reached out and pinched the back of her hand.


    "It''s nothing," Everly said,ing back to her senses.


    She thought of something more important and said, "I met Carolina tonight."


    "Did anything happen?" Maverick turned his face and his eyebrows became a little cold.


    Seeing that she was unharmed, Maverick asked simply.


    Everly smiled and shook her head, "No, I''m not a porcin doll. She wouldn''t do anything to me in


    public. But I saw her with Gabriel."


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, "I know that the two daughters of the Kahl family have been trying to


    build a rtionship with the Croke family recently. This is Alex''s favorite method, but as far as I know,


    Gabriel has a high taste."


    He was indicating that Carolina was not good enough for Gabriel.


    Everly knew that Gabriel was simple. The Croke family, including itspany, were all controlled by


    Gabriel. How could such a man agree to a business marriage with the Kahl family?


    Carolina was probably thinking too naively.


    However, when he said this, Everly could not help but tease Maverick, "You don''t like Carolina this


    much. Didn''t you let her be by your side at that time?"


    "You want to settle scores with me?"


    "You started it."


    Maverick reached out and pinched her little ear, then he answered seriously, "I never wanted any


    woman to stay by my side, except for you. Whether it was abroad or in the country, sometimes I was


    helpless, but Carolina indeed had her reason. At that time, she was so focused on getting close to me


    and of course, I knew. I asked her to take care of Candy and I had asked someone to keep an eye on


    her. It was also to rx Alex''s vignce."


    Everly asked, "You''ve always wanted to deal with the Kahl family?"


    "Not just the Kahl family, but also the Rice family and the Croke family." Maverick''s eyes darkened as


    he enunciated each word.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

 Chapter184 Ran a Paternity Test

    Ran a Paternity Test


    Everly had never asked Maverick about these things in detail.


    However, she had a rough idea of what had happened before. The three families, including the Lamont


    family, must have had some rtionship with the Waller family back then.


    She felt that when Maverick reached a certain point, he would tell her. Some things were hard to forget


    for him. It must be memories of pain. If he felt that the time was not right, Everly would not take the


    initiative to ask him about it.


    This must be rted to the currentyout of the business.


    Everly thought for a moment and expressed her own opinion.


    "I think Gabriel is not simple. I have probably seen some recent news. At present, the Kahl family and


    the Rice family are opposing you. The Croke family maintains a neutral attitude. However, Carolina has


    gotten close to Gabriel, but he did not push her away. He said that he was neutral, but the Croke family


    is also ambitious."


    Maverick''s eyes were soft and he smiled at Everly, "Everly, love, you analyzed it very well."


    "Speak properly."


    "Of course I did." Maverick also restrained a bit of his yful mood and said, "The Croke family has


    been keeping a low profile all these years. Gabriel is different from his father. Even if he avoids me, he


    will not just give up benefits that can be easily made."


    "Isn''t his target the Lamont Group?"


    "The Lamont Group?" Maverick raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "Baby, then you only see one


    of them. You can''t see what''s more. The Lamont Group is not something that the Croke family can


    have. It will kill him."


    "What does he want?" Everly suddenly thought of something and widened her eyes, "Could it be that


    Gabriel wants to trick Alex?"


    Maverick did not say anything more. He reached out and rubbed Everly''s hair, "No matter what he


    wants. That is his business. I''m sure that he would not provoke me. Last time I told you not to


    underestimate me. In a few days, the situation will change. You just have to watch."


    Everly knew that Maverick would not simply use meaningless words tofort her, so it was probably


    the third day after his words, and indeed, there was a change.


    The entire incident had undergone an earth-shaking change. The first change was the case of Sarah''s


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    death had been solved by the police.


    The suspect had been confirmed by the police.


    The matter of Sarah came to an end.


    No matter how the keyboard warriors dissed this incident, it would slowly be forgotten over time.


    Everly soon felt that her life had be normal. Candy and Edmond could go to kindergarten every


    day without being too afraid.


    However, this matter was only covered up on the surface. Everly and Maverick knew the real reason for


    Sarah''s death. It was not that simple.


    This was only the beginning. Once the case was confirmed and solved, many things began to change


    rapidly.


    For example, the Lamont Group started a mass employee recement.


    Maverick was the absolute man in charge of the Lamont Group before and had the most stocks, but the


    Lamont Group had a lot of loose shares. Some elder shareholders had them, after being persuaded by


    Levi, they began to support Zane.


    The war between the two brothers was once again pushed to the stage.


    Zane didn''t say anything in public. On the other hand, Levi held a very obvious attitude. He even


    epted an interview, showing that he was supporting Zane.


    There were even more rumors outside. In addition, there was a project in City L that had been


    intercepted by the Kahl Group. In three days, all the negative news had made Maverick the target.


    Although Everly felt that they couldn''t meet the dead end, the current situation made her very worried.


    It was just that Maverick still ate and slept like usual. He even had time to apany kids, not taking


    that news to heart.


    Everly resisted the urge to ask. It was the fourth day. She saw Maverick pick up a phone early in the


    morning and then go to the cloakroom to change clothes. He came over with a tie and handed it to


    Everly, "Help me with this."


    She tiptoed and helped Maverick tie his tie. She could not help but ask, "Is there a turning point? I think


    you haven''t been paying much attention to it these days, but I''m actually worried."


    "What''s there to worry about?" The man leaned down a little, lest Everly was tired from holding her


    hands high all the time. His voice was low, and there was still a bit of sexiness and hoarseness in his


    voice when he just woke up in the morning, "I told you, don''t worry. Just watch."


    "But..."


    "No buts. Aren''t you going to the art studio today?"


    "I am." As Everly thought about it, he didn''t say much and still kept her in suspense without any


    exnation.


    However, Maverick said, "Take a leave with the studio today. When Ie back tonight, I''ll take you to


    see someone. You can stay at home this afternoon." After she tied his tie, the man reached out and


    gently stroked it, "You haven''t been home to see your parents for a few days, have you? You have


    nothing to do this afternoon so you go back and see them."


    "Is there something important today?" Everly asked after some thought.


    "It''s nothing important, but I have something to deal with and want you to stay at home."


    Everly bit her lips and nodded obediently. When it came to her parents, she thought of Parrish''s


    suggestion. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Maverick, I want to talk with you about something."


    "Yes?"


    In any case, she had to say it. Everly had thought about it over the past few days. Parrish''s suggestion


    was not excessive no matter to their children or them. After all, they had been separated for five years


    before meeting again. Some verification would be indeed necessary.


    After all, the Lamont family and the Lamont Group were all so powerful, and now the brothers were


    broken. If anything happened, Edmond could get hurt.


    Therefore, Everly didn''t continue to stutter and said directly, "My dad has always hoped that you can


    run a paternity test with Edmond. I know that you believe me, but I have thought about it. It is still


    necessary."


    Maverick replied, "If it is your father''s wish, I willply."


    Everly was overjoyed. She was worried that Maverick would feel bad about it.


    He said, "From his point of view, the whole thing is different from ours. Now that you mention it, I can


    understand what your father means. After everything is done, I will do the paternity test. But Edmond is


    not small anymore, I think we should talk to him about it."


    Everly said, "I''ll go talk to him. Go and do your job."


    Maverick kissed her on the forehead and ate breakfast together before leaving.


    Everly did not go to the studio. She always felt that something would happen today. As expected, there


    was news in the afternoon.

 Chapter185 Maverick Easily Won

    Maverick Easily Won


    At that time, when Carolina and Maverickpletely broke up, she stole an important project on City L


    of Maverick in his study.


    After it was taken away, it was in Alex''s hands. The project was soon overtaken by the Kahl Group and


    the Lamont Group waspletely passive.


    It made Zane being able to ascend to the top easier.


    Everything came one after the other.


    Thus, things began to crack one after the other.


    The first news that broke out in the afternoon was about the project of the Kahl Group in City L. It was


    suddenly told that the government had issued a new policy. The funds that the Kahl Group had


    invested in before were all locked up. There was also the possibility that the Kahl Group would be


    cleaned up.


    How would Alex know that he would face such a problem?


    Alex had investigated a lot before. He knew that Maverick had always been enthusiastic about such a


    Later, because of the project information that Alex''s daughter stole, Alex felt that it was destined. As


    soon as the project was taken down, the Kahl Group would definitely secure the position of a real


    estate boss in City L.


    After the project waspleted, the Kahl Group''s stock price would rise.


    However, Alex did not expect that the government would suddenly issue a new policy, which turned all


    his previous investment into nothing.


    Alex was too old to bear such a blow.


    In the beginning, he didn''t believe it to be true, but after asking around, he confirmed it was true.


    Moreover, at this critical juncture, Alex finally understood that the news had already started circting


    in the circle, but he had been trying not to believe it.


    Alex was more aware of one thing that the project had always been problematic.


    Maverick tricked Alex and pretended to be beaten by Alex, but in fact, Maverick was running a long-


    term n. Alex was now the one who waspletely defeated.


    How could Alex ept such a failure?


    It was like in a second, that Alex had fallen from heaven to hell. The Kahl family had a deep foundation.


    However, this time, if he wanted to make aeback, he had to find someone to invest in him, which


    meant that he had to give his ownpany up.


    While Alex was in a terrible situation, Den was also in a bad mood.


    Something had also happened in Italy.


    The person who had contacted Den before suddenly lost contact. The letter of intent he had signed


    had also turned into scrap paper.


    However,pared to Alex, Den would be at most made fun of. Den was already at this age, yet


    he got tricked because of his greed.


    What happened to Alex was soon spread out.


    Den lost some money which didn''t mean much to him, but he had lost all his face.


    Den thought that he couldn''t make Maverick lose everything in Italy this time or almost everything.


    However, Maverick barely lost anything. Den, in the end, had to hide all the news and came back


    home, tail between his legs.


    It just so happened that someone was against him. At the airport, arge number of reporters were


    waiting for him at the entrance.


    Den was surrounded soon.


    Before he could say anything, questions after questions were thrown over.


    Den and Alex had a good rtionship in public. Now that something had happened to Alex, all the


    media interviews were stopped, so the reporters turned to ask Den instead.


    Den had already seen the news on his way back.


    After being bombarded with questions by these reporters one after another, the expression on his face


    was terrible. It was a tough task for him to get out of the airport.


    In the end, when he was about to get in the car, someone pushed him. He was old and his waist was


    suddenly twisted with his forehead hitting the door heavily.


    Den was such a person who cared a lot about his face, so after he was put into an awkward


    situation, he was very irritated.


    ...


    This series of events was like broadcast live. Everything that happened to the celebrities and all kinds


    of gossip about them were overshadowed by these two leaders from two big families.


    At the same time, Maverick, whom the Kahl family and the Rice family worked together to deal with,


    was also pushed to the edge of the storm.


    The result of this time was different.


    Because everyone could see that this time, Maverick was able to calm down. For such a long time, he


    didn''t make a sound, but in the end, he easily won and made a beautiful turnaround.


    The business was like a war field.


    Others wouldn''t care about the schemes, nor the process, but the result only.


    This result was that a man beat Alex within a few days, with the most strategic strategy.


    The board of the Lamont Group could not wait to rece the members.


    The stock price of the Lamont Group also began to rise steadily.


    At this time, the people who could not calm down, and Levi Lamont from the Lamont family.


    Levi had opposed Maverick and supported Zane. After what happened this time, Levi felt he was


    pped in the face.


    However, Maverick did not care about what Levi was thinking. After things were settled, the first person


    Maverick wanted to meet with was Zane.


    Something should be discussed now.


    Zane attended the appointment. He was still in a wheelchair. Perhaps it was because of the power of


    media. He was somewhat affected now. His face was slightly pale and he was wearing sunsses. He


    looked very thin.


    The moment he took off his sunsses, Maverick saw his eagle-like sharp eyes.


    Maverick sneered in his heart thinking that Zane would not pretend anymore.


    "Actually, I don''t think it surprising." Zane reached out and gently fiddled with the cup in front of him. His


    gaze was sharp. His voice was indifferent, "How can Alex beat you who grew up in an environment


    where was terrible and cruel?"


    Maverick looked at the man in front of him, paused, and asked, "All these years, you have never


    forgotten what happened back then? You pretended to have forgotten about it, but you are still ming


    me."


    "What am I ming you for?" Zane smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes, "Maverick, you and I


    both know that Tracy''s death back then had nothing to do with you. Tracy liked you but you didn''t. You


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    are outstanding and have many suitors. You let her and you looked down on her, but she still wanted to


    stick to you. She was the one who humiliated herself."

 Chapter186 You Cant Hide Your Past Anyway

    You Can''t Hide Your Past Anyway


    It seemed that Zane didn''t me Maverick, but actually he did.


    Maverick knew it.


    Maverick lit a cigarette and said, "Ie to exin it to you. I''ll be direct. I never think that I am


    responsible for Tracy''s death. I can''t control how she regarded me in the past. But I feel sorry for you. I


    took the Lamont Group from you for some reason. But if you need it, I will absolutely return it to you.


    You should be clear that the Lamont Group is never my target."


    Zane looked at Maverick and suddenly said, "Do you mean that you want to be a benefactor and give


    the Lamont Group back to me? If so, why did you take it from me?"


    Maverick dusted the cigarette and looked at Zane.


    It was obvious that he hated Maverick.


    Maverick suddenly realized that many things had happened to him before. He suspected that it was


    Zane. But he didn''t want to believe it.


    Zane had lost quite a lot, including his legs. He was so proud. How could he ept it with a smile?


    Maverick was not used to exining too much to others.


    After thinking for a while, Maverick said in a low voice, "I can''t control what you think. I am partly


    responsible for your legs, so I will definitely return the Lamont Group to you. You and I know very well


    who our father is. I know that you are capable and have many things to do. I don''t want to embarrass


    us."


    But Zane misunderstood Maverick.


    Zane thought that Maverick was showing off. Maverick was telling him that he was the one who


    seeded. And Zane was the loser and could only be dominated.


    Zane was distorted because of the feeling of being dominated.


    Maverick wasn''t guilty for Tracy''s death.


    Although Maverick said that he felt very sorry for Zane''s legs. But Zane didn''t believe it. And he thought


    that Maverick just kept taking away his things.


    "Should I thank you for being so generous?"


    Maverick put out the cigarette and stood up. He said, "I know that you are angry. But nobody can stop


    me. I also know that you have something to do with Sarah''s death. If you really want to deal with me,


    please target me instead of others. I don''t mind your method, but keep in mind that it''s against thew


    to kill people."


    Zane''s face darkened and he said, "Are you using me of killing? Are you recording? And you will


    make it public when it''s the time."


    "If you think of me like this, I don''t know how to exin."


    "Are you exining? You have never exined anything to me, Maverick. You just came to inform me.


    You said that you came to give me a choice. Do you really give me the chance to make a choice?"


    Maverick didn''t answer.


    Zane smashed the ss in front of him. There was a loud sound and the ss broke into pieces.


    Maverick kept silent.


    Zane could no longer stand up, so he was short in momentum. However, he was extremely angry now.


    He had long been suppressed and wanted to fight.


    Zane was dissatisfied. He had secretly done a lot of things these years, but there were still no


    consequences. So Maverick always thought of himself as a winner.


    "You never gave me the chance to make a choice. You will do whatever you want and ignore how


    others feel. We can be considered half-siblings. You are condescending and look noble just because of


    your mother. She is from the Waller family. But don''t forget that there is no Waller family now."


    Hearing about the Waller family, Maverick changed his face.


    He just came to remind Zane and wanted to leave.


    But Maverick stopped, looked at Zane, and said, "I''ve never touched your nerve, Zane. Do you think


    that I have no idea how your mother married into the Lamont family? All these years, the people


    outside all think that you are Will''s elder son and I didn''t say anything about this. How dare you mention


    the Waller family?"


    Zane suddenly smiled and said, "You are angered just because I mentioned the Waller family. Can''t


    you stand it? You feel heartbroken about what Kailey has been through. What about my mother?


    Maverick, you are as selfish as Kailey."


    Maverick''s pupils contracted and he said coldly, "Shut up now if you are clever enough."


    Zane thought to himself, "How high and mighty Maverick was! Nothing could anger him."


    When Zane just came back, Will always forced him to go to beg Maverick. But no matter what he said,


    Maverick still looked arrogant.


    In the past, Zane considered Maverick hypocritical and sinister.


    And now he thought the same.


    But Maverick also had weaknesses.


    The Waller family was Maverick''s weakness.


    He changed his face the moment he heard it.


    After all, it was a sad past that Maverick could not face.


    So, Zane insisted on saying, "Why should I shut up? Even if you stopped all the people in City C from


    talking about the Waller family, there are still people who know Kailey. You always pretend to be noble


    and arrogant just to hide your weakness and terrible past. Why did you do so? No matter how much


    money you have and no matter how powerful you are, you still can''t hide some of your past or wipe it


    off. I know everything clearly. Your mother, she...


    "Zane!"


    Maverick was at the end of his tender. He looked sharply at Zane and strode towards him. Maverick


    grabbed Zane by the cor and wanted to lift him up from the wheelchair.


    However, when he saw Zane''s legs, Maverick stopped.


    He secretly took a deep breath and let Zane go. Then he said coldly, "This is yourst chance. I forgive


    you about everything you did before. I consider it as mypensation since you insist that I am partly


    responsible for the car ident in the past. But I also have a bottom line. If you continue to provoke me


    in the future, I will not let you go easily."


    If it wasn''t for the phone call, Maverick would not have left in a hurry.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    It was the investigator he sent to find out who sent Everly the photos. There must be some news.

 Chapter187 Do You Know How Malicious Maverick Is?

    Do You Know How Malicious Maverick Is?


    Maverick answered the phone after getting on the car.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    The driver was driving in the front, so he raised the soundproof ss.


    The car seemed to be a little more depressing. Maverick was listening to the report on the phone.


    But the investigator was a little hesitant.


    Maverick suspected that it had something to do with Elenore.


    The investigator stammered. Maverick was more confused. He said in a low voice, "Everyone knows


    that I don''t like those who can''t say clearly. Just tell me what you find. I want evidence."


    The investigator kept silent for a moment. He sounded reluctant but still told Maverick everything.


    "I can be sure that everything I have found is true. So it is very strange. But I hope that you can believe


    me. It''s rted to Miss Everly herself."


    Maverick frowned and said, "Tell me the details."


    "Miss Everly put on a show. We have investigated all the details thoroughly. The ount where the


    money was transferred was deliberately erased. An expert recovered the phone call record. We were


    sure that Miss Everly asked someone to follow you and take the photos."


    Maverick became cold and asked, "Are you sure?"


    "Yes. And it turns out that it was Miss Everly who bought the photos of you and Miss Elenore."


    Of course Maverick could not believe it.


    However, the investigator sent the evidence to him. There were some records of transactions. It was


    obvious that Everly did this.


    Maverick looked at the evidence, frowning.


    It was evening. The car sped along the road and the scenery outside went back. Maverick propped his


    elbow against the window and his eyes fell on his face in the mirror.


    Something suddenly urred to him.


    Who did you think couldn''t see what you look like clearly?


    It was yourself.


    The mirror could also lie. You might not look like what was in the mirror.


    ...


    In Italy.


    Elenore just finished a video conference and someone knocked on the door.


    She closed theputer and took off her sses. She looked sharp.


    The assistant came in, followed by an enchanting woman.


    Elenore changed her face slightly, but she kept calm and asked the assistant to go out first. When the


    door was closed, Elenore changed her face and asked indifferently, "What do youe here for?"


    Pira sneered and asked, "I helped you, and do you just forget it?"


    "Really?"


    "I know you well, Elenore. I pursue Maverick in public but you have a crush on him. But you looked


    down on me in the past and didn''t consider me as a threat. You pretended to be generous and even


    became Maverick''s friend. What about now?"


    Pira smiled, "However, I can forget all of it. I helped you set Everly up this time. What about your


    promise?"


    Elenore paused and then said with a cold face, "I will keep my promise, but you should note to


    me. You are not afraid of Maverick, but I am."


    "Don''t worry, Elenore. We are in Italy, the home of the Kamo family. And you are much better at ying


    tricks than Maverick. You can do whatever you want."


    "Stop talking and leave here. I will soon keep my promise."


    Pnd raised her eyebrows and started to go out. However, before she left, she seemed to have


    thought of something and stood at the door. She said with a smile, "Your n is thorough. However, I


    have to remind you in advance. Perhaps you do not know much Maverick. He has stayed with the


    Kamo family for many years, so I know him very well. He seems to be decent and indifferent to


    everything. But actually, he is far more malicious than you can imagine."


    Elenore frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"


    "Maverick is quite possessive. In the past, he didn''t allow others to touch his things, even if it was only


    a tie. So I think that your method of setting up Everly may not work."


    Elenore looked pale. Pira smiled and said, "I''m sorry to tell you now. Do you think that he can stay


    innocent after going through so many things? Of course not. Maverick is not simple. Sometimes, crazy


    and rational people have a lot inmon."


    Just like heaven and hell.


    ...


    Everly had dinner with her two children and then watched cartoons with them.


    Candy blinked her eyes and was a little sleepy. Edmond and Candy were always together recently.


    They went to school and went back home together every day. They became closer.


    Children didn''t know what siblings were. But for Edmond, Candy was his little sister.


    "Mom, I am going to go to bed with Candy now. Are you going to wait for Dad?" Edmond asked.


    Because Candy called Everly Mom, so Edmond started to call her Mom too.


    Everly looked at the clock and thought that Maverick was about toe back.


    "Don''t you need me?"


    "No. Dad buys many story books and I read stories to Candy every night. I think my Chinese has


    improved a lot," Edmond was happy and looked eager.


    Everly touched Edmond''s hair and said, "Okay. You go to bed first."


    After they went up, Maverick came back.


    There was a lot of news and rumors today. It seemed that the Lamont Group belongs to Maverick


    again. Everly was waiting and wanted to ask Maverick what happened personally.


    Everly ran to the yard and saw Maverick getting out of the car.


    His white shirt was particrly eye-catching against the darkness of the night. He was tall and straight.


    Everly stopped. She found Maverick strange from his back.

 Chapter188 All Belongs To You

    All Belongs To You


    Everly knew Maverick''s aura well that he gave people the impression that he was hard to get on.


    But he would be better around me.


    Today, Everly could feel that Maverick was different.


    From the beginning, he was gloomy. However, after interacting with him, you realized that he was


    warm-hearted or that he might have been sunny.


    Maverick was both dark and bright.


    Maverick also was unpredictable.


    His indifference was a disguise.


    The current him was the real him.


    Everly was moved. When she was not with Maverick, she was afraid of him.


    After epting him, Everly did not feel that Maverick was cold-blooded, cruel, and overbearing.


    And now...


    Maverick probably felt that someone was staring at him from behind and slowly turned around.


    In that instant, when catching his eyes, Everly was shocked.


    In the darkness was he outlined by light, highlighting his dark eyes.


    Everly sensed that his eyes were deep all the time.


    But they were different today.


    His eyes were like the ckest stones in the world and full of breathtaking possessiveness.


    Everly was stiffened and took two steps back.


    She was scared.


    Maverick was smart and felt the change in Everly. Then he realized that he hade back with a bad


    attitude.


    The attitude revealed his aura.


    He knew his impulse suppressed for many years in the deepest part of his heart. And it was restless


    and uncontrolled now.


    He didn''t know what kind of "devil" lived in his heart. Because of a bad childhood, Maverick had had


    little sense of security. So he had a dire possessiveness and hoped that Everly belonged to him alone.


    Since asking her to be his secretary, Maverick knew very well that he wanted her to stay with him when


    he recognized Everly.


    Then he could see her every moment.


    But he felt that it was not enough.


    From these photos and the final investigation, people might think that Everly was aggressive, but


    Maverick felt happy.


    Was she the same as him?


    Because of the same possessiveness, she could do so.


    Maverick was happy about what did Everly do because they had the same possessiveness and cared


    about each other the most.


    Maverick was excited.


    He walked towards Everly, holding her into his arms urgently.


    The strength was so great that Everly felt a dull pain in her chest.


    She didn''t know what had happened, but she felt that Maverick was different.


    In the next second, Everly was kissed fiercely by Maverick.


    Maverick seemed to want to integrate Everly into his body.


    Everly couldn''t resist, even dare.


    She could feel his strong desire.


    She started to push him when Maverick directly gave her a tongue kiss, then said in a low voice, "Don''t


    move."


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Then, he kissed her again. "Baby, I miss you."


    ...


    Suddenly, Everly was picked up and walked directly to the door.


    At this time, there might be servants who had not rested. Maverick''s lust scared Everly that she would


    be embarrassed if someone saw them.


    However, Maverick didn''t care about this, hugging Everly and going upstairs to the master bedroom.


    He kicked open the door.


    Before Everly said something, the door was closed. In just a few seconds, she was thrown onto the


    sofa.


    "Maverick!"


    His eyes were bright and filled with desire. At this moment, Everly feared.


    What did the hell happen?


    He used to be like a wolf.


    Now, his desire made him a wolf.


    "Maverick, what happened to you?"


    She held her body up, but her legs were pinched by the man. Everly took a deep breath, "Maverick..."


    "Yes, call me by my name." He tore his tie away and threw it on the floor. Maverick closed to Everly and


    said, "Baby, why didn''t you tell me that you need me? I''m happy about what you have done. You don''t


    need to do that at all. I am yours. I will prove to you that I belong to you."

 Chapter189 Everything You Do Is Right

    Everything You Do Is Right


    Everly didn''t know what was going on with Maverick.


    However, he had never been so strong and overbearing like this.


    She felt that she couldn''t bear such strong feelings.


    Maverick went crazy to have sex.


    Everly felt that Maverick went crazy.


    After that, Everly was exhausted.


    Maverick had spent several hours.


    He was energetic.


    Everly was about to fall asleep, and Maverick came up again.


    She was shocked and subconsciously dodged to the side.


    Maverick held her in his arms nakedly.


    However, Maverick didn''t continue and hugged her because of feeling her resistance, whispering,


    "What are you afraid of? I know you are tired. I won''t continue. Don''t move around."


    Everly heaved a sigh of relief.


    After a pause, she asked, "Maverick, you are strange today."


    "How am I strange?"


    "Did something happen to you?" Everly asked.


    Maverick pulled her over to face him, and Everly was in a daze.


    Maverick was fascinated by her.


    He seemed in charge of everything, but Everly was the lead.


    Maverick was willing to give her the lead.


    "What do you think can happen?" Maverick gently pinched her earlobe, "It''s is a good day today. I


    obtained everything I wanted. It''s the beginning, and I believe there will be more excitement in the


    future, and everything is under my control. I found my soul mate."


    Everly felt that Maverick was bloodcurdling.


    He was like Satan, with two ck wings on his back, was cold and terrifying.


    He said that he found his soul mate.


    These words scared Everly.


    Everly was certain that something must have happened.


    She didn''t dare to move and let him hug her, stroke her long hair, but she calmly asked, "What


    happened? You can tell me that."


    "But I don''t think it''s enough." Maverick suddenly said.


    Everly was confused. "What?"


    "I want to put you in my pocket sometimes." Maverick suddenly hugged her tightly and sighed softly. He


    continued, "I am afraid that my possessiveness will frighten you, so I have been restraining myself. But


    I hope that you will stay with me all the time. I didn''t have such possessiveness to people, but some


    items. Later, I read the psychological tutorial book, saying that it is a twisted possessiveness that can


    be relieved through some methods. I tried to relieve with work, social intercourse because I felt that no


    one would like me having such possessiveness."


    Everly had never heard Maverick say this before, so she was frightened.


    But it was reasonable.


    Everly thought that Maverick''s lust was obvious.


    So he had been restraining.


    From the moment they officially got together, he had remained calm and allowed her to be under his


    control.


    Now that many things had happened, Maverick had been looking for someone to protect her secretly.


    Everly did not show rejection.


    But ordinary people didn''t like it.


    Everly was terrified at this time.


    And Maverick suddenly said, "I didn''t expect you to be the same as me, baby. You don''t need to do that


    again. I''m yours forever. But I am happy."


    Everly wondered, ''What is he saying?


    Did I do anything?''


    "I''ve been at home all day, and I haven''t done anything special," Everly pondered for a moment and


    asked, "Maverick, did you misunderstand something?"


    "I didn''t misunderstand. I am happy."


    Everly became more and more uneasy. "Tell me what happened."


    Maverick insisted, "If you don''t want to admit it, I won''t say it. Baby, everything you do is right."


    Everly was sure that something had happened. She pushed Maverick away and sat up. "What


    happened? You are so strange and say something baffling."


    Maverick took the trousers and put them on. Then he took out a stack of photos from his pocket and


    handed them to Everly.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Everly became more and more confused when she looked at the photos.


    "Why are you showing me these?"


    Someone anonymously sent these photos to her before.


    They were close photos of Maverick and Elenore. But Everly was confused why he showed them to


    her.

 Chapter 190 Are You Questioning My Character?

    Chapter 190 Are You Questioning My Character?


    Maverick was topless, he stood by the bed with a perfect figure and a loose pair of pants.


    Even though they had been intimated with each other many times, Everly was still a little


    unustomed to this scene.


    Everly frowned slightly and transferred her gaze from Maverick''s body. Then said in a low voice, "I don''t


    quite understand what you are talking about. You... put on your clothes first."


    Maverick turned a deaf ear and seemed to be more concerned about the contents of the photos.


    "How can''t you? You can deny it, but you don''t need to suppress it. I hope that you can tell me


    everything directly. Everly, everything you do is right. In my ce, you don''t need to deliberately find


    someone to do this." Maverick said.


    Everly felt a p of thunder above her head.


    At this moment, Everly was a little stunned.


    Then she looked down at the photos in front of her,bined with what Maverick had done today, and


    what he said, Everly still had a little confusion. What on earth did Maverick mean?


    However, Everly could vaguely understand what Maverick meant.


    But, when Everly thought of those vague things, Everly still felt disbelief.


    ''I hope I was wrong. No matter what, Maverick shouldn''t think that these things... were done by me.


    ''Was it because I had sent that anonymous email to Maverick for the first time?


    ''But at that time, I just did not want that kind of thing to affect our rtionship.


    ''I was not a person who would swallow my anger, so why did it seem like the meaning had changed


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    when things came to Maverick now?'' Everly thought.


    Everly found it hard to understand.


    "What are you talking about? What do you mean by I asked someone to do these things? What did I


    do?" Everly asked.


    Maverick saw that the expression on Everly''s face was not fake at all. He was a little disappointed. He


    sat next to Everly and looked at the photo then said calmly, "These, didn''t you ask someone to take


    these and then do the other thingster?"


    "Of course not! Maverick, what are you thinking? Why do you think I would do this? Am I crazy?"


    "You are not crazy. It is normal for you to do this."


    "I didn''t!"


    "Everly, even if you do it, it is not an embarrassing thing. I know that you just want me."


    Everly shook her head and said excitedly, "This is not a matter of whether it is embarrassing or not, but


    why should I do such a thing?"


    Everly seemed to have just found the point, "Why do you suspect that I would do such a thing? I don''t


    know who told you that I did these things, but this is not to say whether I want you or not, but you


    should think about it. How could I possibly do these things? Isn''t this a matter of character? Why should


    I do these things?"


    Maverick was sure that this matter was done by Everly.


    That meant that Everly actually had a stronger possessive desire than him in her heart.


    They were a match made in heaven, but now, Everly denied it.


    Before Maverick could say anything, Everly was a little angry. She turned her face away and said, "I


    don''t know where you got the news from. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. You directly


    confirmed that I did it. You are insulting my character. I am not so free to do these things."


    Whether it was Everly or not was not important to Maverick. What was important was that he felt that


    the devil in his soul could be epted by Everly, so Maverick was so excited.


    But now, Everly''s direct denial made Maverick believe that there might be some misunderstanding


    between this matter.


    Of course, the misunderstanding was not the most important thing now.


    It was because Maverick soon realized that Everly was angry and the consequences were serious.


    After that day, Maverick had no chance to talk to Everly at all. If it wasn''t for the child, Everly would treat


    him badly.


    Most importantly, Edmond and Everly did not return to the vi the next afternoon. Only Candy was


    sent back. Later, the driver told Maverick that Miss Everly had brought Young Master Edmond back to


    the Farley''s.


    Maverick was helpless.


    Of course, at this time, Maverick still couldn''t understand why Everly was so angry. Even if she really


    did do it, he had already made it clear that he wouldn''t care at all.


    What Maverick did not know was that the point of Everly''s anger was that the whole thing, inexplicably,


    why did it alle to her?


    Even if they hadn''t known each other for too long, they could still be considered to know each other.


    Why did Maverick feel that she could do something like that?


    Everly thought she could not ept that her character was questioned by the person she liked.


    Therefore, when Everly was angry, she also contacted Beth. Everly wanted to find out everything. How


    could she take the me for no reason?


    Ever since Everly met Miriam that day, Everly had not contacted Beth. However, Everly felt that


    Lawrence would say something to Beth.


    Everly had made an appointment with Beth after dinner.


    People would forget about those bad things eventually, but the issue of the Lamont Group was now in


    an uproar. Everly was involved in it, so it was still too ostentatious for her to go out in the day.


    Everly didn''t go to any public ces with Beth. She drove to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the


    night breeze.


    Beth looked fine, but there was still some worry hidden between her brows.


    When Everly saw Beth, she thought of what Miriam had told her that day. She wanted to find a suitable


    topic to start with, but Beth had spoken first.


    "Did you see Miriam that day?"


    Everly was stunned. It seemed that Lawrence was quite honest. He had told Beth everything, "Well, I


    have been busy these two days. I don''t know how to tell you, so I didn''t mention that."


    "It doesn''t matter, but I thought about it. Lawrence told me when he came back."


    "I talked to Miriam in private. Is she still in City C?"


    "Yes, she is," Beth lowered her eyes and sneered, "Since she''s already here, she won''t leave so easily.


    Let''s not talk about this. Didn''t you look for me today for something? Do you know there was a car


    following behind you on the way here? What happened between you and Maverick?"


    Everly didn''t know that there was a car following her when she drove over.


    It must be Maverick''s men.


    It might have been understandable in the past, but now it was simply adding fuel to the fire.


    "I want you to investigate something for me," Everly directly told Beth about the photos and what


    happened afterward.


    "Actually, from your description of this matter, it makes me feel that your Maverick loves you very much.


    I used to think that the way he looked at you was so direct that no one dared to ignore it. But in fact, the


    stronger a man is, the softer his heart will be. To be honest, are you really not curious about what


    happened in the Waller family?" Beth said.

 Chapter 191 Edmond Was Missing

    Chapter 191 Edmond Was Missing


    This was not the first time someone had mentioned the Waller family to Everly.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Everly knew Beth''s ability, it was easy for her to find out what the Waller family was like back then.


    But it was already like this, Everly actually did not need to know this through the third person.


    ''Perhaps I should talk to Maverick about the matter of the Waller family back then?'' Everly thought.


    Seeing that Everly was like this, Beth knew that Everly would not force her to investigate anything.


    The two good friends had not seen each other for a while, and it was rare for them to rx. They


    thought of some things from before and chatted for a while.


    Beth said, "I heard that Lucas was sent abroad. Have you ever thought that it was Maverick who did all


    this?"


    Everly didn''t care what Lucas was doing. They were like strangers now. Moreover, it was awkward to


    mention Lucas when she and Maverick were in such a situation.


    However, Beth''s words still reminded Everly -


    Some rtionships were destined.


    One day, the Lamont family would let Edmond acknowledge their ancestors. It was a fact that she and


    Lucas had a history. The ties of blood were the most tenacious and wonderful existence in the world.


    What a mess.


    Everly avoided the topic and just said, "Sometimes, I also feel that Maverick is a bit paranoid. But I


    think that maybe people with too much personality are like this. I need you to help me to investigate


    what that woman who called Elenore exactly did. As for the other things, leave it to me, I will talk to


    Maverick."


    "Sure," Beth raised an eyebrow.


    "Sometimes, I feel that you are worthy of my admiration," Beth said with a sigh.


    "What is it?" Everly asked.


    "Themunication between people is not as simple as it says. In my life, the most difficult thing is


    how tomunicate with people. Everly, I''m thinking, should I alsomunicate with Miriam?"


    In the end, they were sisters, sisters who came out of their mother''s womb. No matter what


    misunderstandings there were, blood rtions couldn''t be separated.


    "If you are willing to, I think you should give each other a chance. If there are any problems, just tell


    me." Everly said.


    ...


    The wind at night seemed to have be gentle.


    The two of themy on the hood of the car, looking at the few stars in the sky.


    They hummed the song they liked the most when they were in school,pletely rxed. They only


    left the mountain after more than two hours.


    There was a saying, extreme joy brings sorrow.


    Although Everly had not reached a state of extreme joy, she was suddenly told that Edmond was


    missing after she returned home. Everly got the sorrow part.


    Gloria and Parrish had already gone crazy from anxiety. After all, the child had been lost under their


    watch.


    Everly left after dinner. At that time, Edmond was watching TV in the living room. When Everly left,


    Edmond even kissed her and very sensibly told Everly to be careful on the way as usual.


    Although it was a littlete for Everly to go home now, it had only been three hours since Everly left,


    how could Edmond just have disappeared.


    "Everly, it''s all my fault. If it wasn''t because I didn''t look after Edmond well, he wouldn''t have... It was


    my fault. What should I do now?" Gloria said with swollen eyes.


    "It''s our fault, you haven''t been living here for the past few days. We missed Edmond a lot. He said that


    he wanted to eat ice cream. And there was nothing left in the refrigerator, so I asked your mother to buy


    some. But Edmond said that he wanted to go, so your mother took him out. Who knew..." Parrish said


    with guiltiness. It was rare for him, who usually wanted to save face, to be so humble at this time.


    When Everly heard this, she had probably guessed it as well.


    It was probably when Gloria took Edmond to buy ice cream that Edmond had disappeared.


    ording to Edmond''s personality, he couldn''t run around randomly. Moreover, the residential area


    here was very safe. There was a convenience store across the road, not to mention... Everly was


    certain that Maverick had sent someone to follow her and Edmond.


    When Everly thought of this, her heart thumped.


    ''Could it be that because I had just left the Farley''s, those people who were secretly following us had


    followed me to the top of the mountain?


    ''It could exin why Edmond would suddenly disappear, and Maverick doesn''t know until now.


    "Dad and Mom, don''t be anxious. Let Hendrix know first," Everly knew that at this time, she can''t find


    her son in the fastest way. Moreover, this was a big matter. This little bit of calmness she had now was


    all faked. Otherwise, her parents would be more worried and guilty.


    Moreover, Parrish was ill repeatedly, so Everly had to calm down.


    Only Everly herself knew that she was trembling all over for just standing. If it wasn''t because she was


    stuck to the sofa, her legs might have gone strengthless.


    Ever since Edmond was born, even in the US, the City of Crime, such a situation had never happened.


    Moreover, Edmond had always been very sensible and well-behaved. His sudden disappearance must


    have been kidnapped.


    At this critical moment, the one who could kidnap Edmond could be guessed.


    A person who was not extremely vicious could do vicious things.


    Hendrix had been contacted by Parrish, and Everly had contacted Maverick directly.


    Everly knew very well that she had to tell Maverick about this.


    As expected, Maverick indeed still did not know that his son had suddenly disappeared.


    At first, Everly thought that she could control her emotions. At least when she talked to her parents, she


    was still very calm and spoke clearly.


    But at this moment, once Everly heard the low voice from the man on the other side of the line, Everly


    felt that she was extremely fragile. The emotions that were suppressed in her chest rolled and surged.


    It turned into a lump of bitterness, grievance, and helplessness. Then, the tears rushed up to her eyes.


    Her world suddenly became blurry. She wanted to open her mouth to say something, but she choked


    up the moment she opened her mouth.


    Maverick probably heard her voice and instantly became nervous, "What''s wrong?"


    Everly''s tears fell like pearls with broken strings. She wanted to say something, but her voice was


    broken, "Edmond, Edmond..."


    "Baby, if you have something to say, calm down and say it slowly," Everly wanted to say that Edmond


    was missing, but she couldn''t say it. Maverick didn''t hear it clearly and thought that it was the previous


    incident that made Everly feel very wronged. At this time, Maverick couldn''t care about anything else.


    He just apologized, "It''s my fault. I didn''t question you about anything. Everly, I was just a little happy at


    that time. I will exin this to youter. Today, I''ll let you calm down and pick you up tomorrow..."


    "No, Edmond... is missing," Everly took a deep breath and choked, "It''s not me. Edmond is missing...


    Our son is missing..."

 Chapter 192 The Fingerprint on The Phone

    Chapter 192 The Fingerprint on The Phone


    Twenty minutester, Maverick arrived at the Farley''s with Hendrix.


    On the way, Maverick had already gotten to know everything.


    Edmond''s sudden disappearance was not a coincidence. Everly had guessed correctly before.


    Because of what happened yesterday, Maverick did not send too many people to follow Everly and


    Edmond today.


    Besides, Sarah''s matter hade to an end before. Now it was an internal problem of Lamont Group.


    And the media would not be too exaggerated.


    That''s why Maverick did not send too many people to protect them.


    When Everly left, the bodyguards followed her out secretly.


    So, when Edmond was taken out to buy ice cream, he disappeared just like that. Nobody could find any


    clues.


    Hendrix and Maverick had already sent people out to search. Maverick directly contacted Lawrence.


    Lawrence had many friends working in the police station. Lawrence was also doing the same work. It


    was more convenient for Lawrence to find Edmond.


    After doing all of this, it seemed like they could only sit and wait.


    Maverick was restless.


    Maverick was not sure who was behind this, but there weren''t many people he could suspect.


    Hendrix and Maverick were waiting in the study room. Because they were too impatient, they smoked


    one cigarette after another.


    The entire study was shrouded in smoke, and their expressions were solemn.


    When Everly came in with red eyes, the ashtray beside Maverick was already filled with cigarette butts.


    "Any news?" It was already midnight. Parrish and Gloria were in the room, and they probably couldn''t


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    sleep either. Everly wasn''t sleepy though she was really tired, she came in to ask for news.


    Maverick got up and walked in front of her, "Didn''t I ask you to go and rest? If there is any news, I will


    tell you immediately."


    Hendrix also sighed, "Yes, Everly, it''s not good for you to just wait like this. The two of us were enough.


    Don''t worry, we''re already been searching inch-by-inch. In such a short time, nobody can bring


    Edmond out of City C. Edmond must still be there."


    When Hendrix said this, Everly was even more scared.


    Everly''s voice was hoarse, "Edmond has never experienced such a thing. He is only five years old. I


    am really scared. It is all my fault. It is all my fault..."


    Seeing her like this, Maverick felt even more guilty. He held Everly in his arms and gentlyforted


    her, "It''s not your fault. I will find our son. If it is someone''s fault, it must be me. You go and rest first. Be


    good. It will be bad if your body copses first when Edmond is back. I promise you, no matter what, I


    will let our sones back safely."


    Maverick was swearing to himself, promising himself.


    Everly knew that Maverick was a man with courage.


    Maverick had his aura.


    If he said so, he would make it happen.


    And, Everly was more willing to believe that Maverick would do it.


    "Edmond can''t lose half a hair, make sure hees back safely," Everly requested in a low voice.


    "Okay, I promise."


    Everly also knew that if she continues staying here, Maverick and Hendrix had to constantlyfort


    her, and then at most, tell her to go to rest.


    Everly returned to her room. Her eyes were dry as shey on the bed, she could not sleep.


    In the study room, Hendrix still voiced out his doubts, "Have you thought about it? Who did it?"


    Maverick can''t measure how many cigarettes he smoked tonight. His throat is a bit painful, so his voice


    was hoarse, "I thought about it, but without evidence. I can''t act rashly."


    "They didn''te for you, right? It feels like they came for Everly."


    "You mean, if theye for me, they can kidnap Candy?"


    "That is what I think."


    "Candy is with me. They can''t kidnap her, that''s why they made a move against Edmond. That person


    already knew that Edmond is my son. If he didn''t know about this, he wouldn''t have so brazenly made


    a move against Edmond. It''s nothing more than that," Maverick said with certainty.


    "So?" Hendrix stretched out his hand and tilted the armrest of the sofa, looking at Maverick, "The


    person you are thinking of should be the same person like me, right?"


    "I did look for him before."


    What Maverick said and Hendrix were thinking of was Zane.


    However, Maverick also felt that even for Zane, it was too tant to do this now.


    "There is some misunderstanding between Zane and me. But Zane is the one who understands me the


    best in City C. However, Zane is a very smart person. At this time, even if he knows something and has


    the intention to do it, he should not easily make a move."


    Hendrix touched his chin and agreed, "Zane is quite a sinister person. Now that you mention it, I think it


    makes sense too. What about the others?"


    Maverick thought about it and said, "Let''s talk about it after we''ve confirmed it. I don''t want to make wild


    guesses."


    Hendrix knew a little about Maverick''s "romantic debts" which caused his Everly to care a lot.


    Now that they had sat together, Hendrix could not help but say, "My sister asked me about Elenore a


    few days ago. Have you been in contact with Elenore recently?"


    Maverick had a headache when he heard the name of Elenore.


    Everly was angry about what happened in the photo. She felt that she was not the one who did it. Even


    if Maverick felt that she did it and was happy because of it, when he thought about Everly''s attitude, he


    thought that he believed it wrong.


    If the evidence was like a nail on a metal te, but Everly insisted that she hadn''t done it, Maverick


    would still believe in Everly.


    Maverick had a stubborn and perverted possessiveness, but he had always been restraining himself,


    and this possessiveness would not affect his usual judgment and thoughts, nor would it affect him in


    any way.


    The way that Maverick released his strong emotional that night was to have sex.


    "Elenore and I are just business partners. We are friends. There is no need to care too much,"


    Maverick did not intend to say more. His subordinates did their best. Jayden called at this time, and this


    topic was turned over.


    Maverick immediately picked up the phone.


    Jayden said: "Mr. Maverick, I have already sent people to investigate the surveince cameras that can


    be investigated. It is confirmed that there is no trace of young master Edmond, so I deduced that the


    suspect should be a very experienced person and especially avoided the surveince cameras."


    This was not good news.


    Maverick''s face was solemn, "What else is there?"


    "The police have also begun to investigate. The news we just received is that on the road opposite the


    convenience store, there is a mobile phone. It is confirmed that the young master often used it to


    contact family, so it should be deliberately thrown away by the suspect."


    Then, Jayden finally sent out a piece of good news, "There is a fingerprint on the phone. Other than the


    young master, there is another person."

 Chapter 193 Let Me Be Clear, Not Me

    Chapter 193 Let Me Be Clear, Not Me


    At present, there was only a little news, but it was better than to wait.


    Maverick asked Lawrence to contact the police to quicklypare the fingerprints. But the news they


    got was that there was nothing topare in the police fingerprint library.


    Now a five-year-old child was suddenly taken away by someone.


    Every second Maverick was torture.


    Maverick couldn''t sit there. Almost all the forces that could be used in the country had been contacted


    by him. It was about 4 a. m. when he contacted the people in Italy.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Except Zane was the first person to suspect Edmond, Maverick could think of the people who could


    attack Edmond now, was Pira and Elenore.


    But Maverick still thought that Pira looked very probable.


    Maverick didn''t want to think Elenore was such a woman. After all, Elenore has been around maverick


    for many years. Elenore once helped maverick generously without asking for interest when maverick


    needed help most. Maverick was not heartless.


    However, the recent events had indeed made Maverick suspicious.


    Maverick had people investigate the two women.


    However, as soon as he sent the order, Elenore called him.


    Maverick looked at the phone, paused, and picked it up.


    Elenore said directly, "Let me be clear, not me!"


    Maverick said, "You know?"


    "I know," Elenore said straightforward, "I''m not afraid to tell you. Because of the photos, I have been


    paying attention to domestic affairs. You know, if I want to know something, it is not difficult. I just found


    out that Miss Everly''s son is missing. I think you might suspect that I did it."


    Elenore seemed a little sad when she said, "Maverick, we have known each other for many years. You


    should know what kind of person I am. So, I want to tell you that I didn''t do it."


    Maverick didn''t say anything.


    Elenore didn''t say anything else. She was able to achieve this position today, of course, she wasn''t a


    pushover.


    Just said what Elenore should say. In front of Maverick, more words are just superfluous.


    Before Elenore hung up, she said, "I hope everything is fine for you. I will help you find him."


    Then, Elenore hung up.


    ...


    Hendrix had a catnap for a while when Hendrix heard some movements from Maverick. Hendrix


    thought that there was some news and woke up just in time to see Maverick put away his phone.


    Hendrix rubbed his aching temple, asking, "Any news?"


    Maverick shook his head and suddenly stood up.


    It seemed like he was pondering something.


    Hendrix looked at him and asked in surprise, "What''s wrong?"


    Maverick said, "I need to go to Italy."


    Hendrix said, "What? Is it about Edmond?"


    "If it weren''t for Lu Zane and Elenore, there would be only one person I could think of who could take


    Edmond under my nose," Maverick tightened his hands around his body and then slowly released.


    Maverick seemed to sigh softly, "Some things need to be resolved. It is not convenient for me to bring


    Everly along. Help me take care of Everly for the next few days."


    Hendrix did not know much about what happened to Maverick in those years.


    The Waller family matter was the only trigger for Maverick to develop in Italy and reach where he was


    today.


    Hendrix could think that many simr things would happen in the future, which was closely rted to


    Maverick''s past.


    But if Edmond was not Maverick''s son, maybe Hendrix could stand in the position of being good for his


    sister, enlightened Everly, or let Maverick stay away from Everly.


    But now...


    Hendrix was very helpless. Some things had already been involved in the past few years. Now, it was


    inevitable that they would not be able to get rid of it. Moreover, with Everly''s personality, she was not


    the kind of person who would go away when Maverick''s number was up.


    "My father has always wanted you and Edmond to do a paternity test. He did not have any other


    intentions. He just wanted the child to live a more upright life," Hendrix shook his head and said, "You


    know, right? If I could choose, I would reject you."


    The corners of Maverick''s eyes twitched slightly, and he looked at Hendrix with a hint of warning.


    Hendrix said with a smile, "It''s no choice for me right now. Besides, I don''t usually interfere with Everly''s


    decision, but you can''t let them get hurt."


    "I will bring the child back safely," Maverick promised.


    ...


    Maverick asked Jayden to prepare a private ne. Two hourster, Maverick would fly directly to Italy.


    It was 4 o''clock.


    Before Maverick left, he would go to see Everly.


    Maverick expected that she would not be able to sleep. When he opened the door, he saw her sitting


    on the bed. A petite woman sat in the middle of the two meters big bed, holding her knees.


    Maverick stood at the door; he had a heartache.


    Everything that happened to Everly now was all because of Maverick. The innocent Edmond was the


    same.


    Maverick even dared not go there. No matter how manyforting words he said, it was useless. He


    was not sure where Edmond was.


    Maverick stood at the entrance for a long time and finally, Everly found out.


    Everly looked up from her knees. Her eyes were swollen. When she saw the man standing at the door,


    for a moment, she probably felt that she had seen him wrongly. She blinked again. Maverick walked


    towards her.


    Everly had a move. Maverick knelt on one knee on the bed. He reached out to take her into his arms


    and kissed her hair, "Haven''t you rested all night? What can I say about you?"


    All the misunderstandings werepletely disappeared.


    Maverick''s embrace, at least, allowed her emotions to stabilize. She leaned against Maverick''s chest,


    her tears still flowing uncontrobly, "I am afraid..."


    Everly trembled and choked, "For a long time, I felt sorry for Edmond. I gave birth to him without


    hesitation, and I didn''t ask him if he wanted to be a child of a single-parent family. To prove myself, I


    often let him live alone at home all these years. I thought I was a very qualified mother, but it wasn''t. I


    was very afraid, I can''t lose Edmond, Maverick, please, don''t let him have an ident, and don''t hide


    me. Tell me any news."


    It seemed that Everly had never cried so helplessly in Maverick''s arms.


    Maverick was distressed.


    Maverick hugged her tightly, "I promise you, Everly, trust me! Nothing will happen. I will find our son.


    Nothing will happen to him."


    After a while, Everly calmed down. Maverick said, "I need to go to Italy."


    Everly suddenly realized something, "Are you suspecting that Edmond has been taken there?" she


    suddenly sat up straight, "I''ll go with you!"

 Chapter 194 You Are Willing

    Chapter 194 You Are Willing


    Maverick was not surprised that Everly wanted to follow.


    Maverick also wanted to bring Everly wherever he went, but it was indeed inappropriate now.


    In the hope of keeping Everly by his side all the time,pared with her safety, Maverick would choose


    thetter.


    "I can''t be sure now, so I can''t take you there," Maverick gently wiped Everly''s swollen eyes. He was


    distressed, "You know how much I me myself for you? So, take care of yourself and don''t think too


    much. I will bring Edmond back. If anything happens to you again, I will go crazy."


    Everly said, "But..."


    Maverick interrupted, "No buts. Two hourster, I will fly directly to Italy. I promise you that I will tell you


    anything."


    Everly calmed down and felt that what Maverick said was reasonable.


    Moreover, what could Everly do?


    At this time, Everly felt that she was useless and couldn''t help anything. If she had any more idents,


    it would cause more trouble.


    Everly was very depressed.


    Therefore, it could always be seen that what others said about two people dating should be evenly


    matched.


    "I''ll tell you about the Waller family after Ie back," Maverick kissed her. He didn''t know what Everly


    was thinking. No matter how haggard Everly looked, Maverick thought Everly was worried about her


    son. Many things were involved, "This time, Zane should not have done it. As for the Kahl family and


    the Rice family, their possibilities have been ruled out by me. The rest I can think of is the people in


    Italy. Anyway, I believe my son is safe now, so we should find him as soon as possible. You should


    have a good rest and eat well. Don''t have an ident. Be good."


    Everly also wanted to be good and have a good rest.


    But when Everly closed her eyes and was full of Edmond.


    People who had never experienced this kind of thing could never feel it.


    Everly also knew that she must calm down. There were old people in her family. If she fell ill, the


    situation would get out of control


    Maverick apanied her for more than an hour. Although this time was not very good, Maverick still


    patiently told her the questions before.


    Maverick said, "I have a lot of questions about myself. I haven''t been able to tell you all this time. When


    the thing is over, I will tell you everything. It is not that I don''t believe you, it is my problem."


    Everly knew that he was talking about the picture.


    Everly did not want to talk about this issue now, but since Maverick took the initiative to mention it,


    Everly still insisted, her tone was somewhat aggrieved, "That matter, I am not in the mood to discuss it


    with you now, but you have said it here, I just said a few words. I did not do it. It must not be me. I don''t


    know what you are thinking. No matter what you think I am doing right or wrong, I think that people


    should have the most basic morals."


    It was true that there was no specific target for Everly''s words.


    However, Everly''s words ''moral values'' were like a tiny needle that pierced into Maverick''s heart.


    Maverick''s eyes flickered. If it wasn''t because he was about to leave. If it wasn''t because he was at this


    critical juncture now...


    Therefore, Everly did not realize that what she had said made Maverick very concerned.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    Maverick had been very silent on the ne.


    Although this trip to Italy was only a few days away from the previous one, the meaning was different.


    Jayden had personally apanied Maverick.


    There were a lot of things that Jayden wanted to tell Mr. Maverick, but he found that Mr. Maverick had


    been looking out of the window, Maverick''s expression unfathomable, but also deep. It was unknown


    what Maverick was thinking.


    Jayden was the person who had followed Maverick for the longest time, so Jayden naturally


    understood Maverick better.


    Such a thing happened was to rub it in.


    The situation of Lamont Group had just been alleviated, but the realpetition had just begun.


    Right now, Zane wanted topete with Maverick for Lamont Group.


    Maverick had a lot to do next. Maverick must firmly grasp Lamont Group in his hand. Therefore, he


    can''t rx at all from now on.


    But at this time, Edmond suddenly disappeared.


    To Lamont Group, it was very irrational to let go of everything in the country and go to Italy.


    But there was no other way. Jayden was very clear that there could be no power status in the world


    that could affect the position of those people in Maverick''s mind.


    Jayden did not disturb Maverick either.


    Unexpectedly, Maverick suddenly turned his face and asked him, "Doctor Refix, how long has it been


    since youst contacted him?"


    Jayden was stunned.


    Doctor Refix?


    This doctor should be a psychologist that Mr. Maverick had seen a few years ago.


    But it had been a long time since theyst contacted each other, right?


    Doctor Refix and Maverick had a lot of history.


    Maverick didn''t like to admit that he had psychological problems, but which 10-year-old child could


    grow up healthy after seeing what had happened to his biological mother?


    It was extremely difficult for Maverick to walk a fine line in the Kamo family.


    At that time, Maverick met doctor Refix in a foreign country. It was said that the two fought. Later,


    Maverick slowly adjusted himself under the constant persuasion of doctor Refix.


    Maverick didn''t have any serious problems. It was just that sometimes, he would have some more


    paranoid thoughts and different possessiveness from ordinary people.


    "We haven''t contacted each other for a long time," Jayden thought about it and asked, "Mr. Maverick, is


    there anything you need? We should be able to contact each other."


    Maverick was silent.


    Jayden couldn''t keep asking questions but was quiet.


    After a few minutes, Maverick said in a low voice, probably because he had smoked too much before,


    he was a bit of hoarseness, "If therees a day when you don''t care about anything and keep people


    by your side, wouldn''t it be in line with what many people think now?"


    Jayden was stunned.


    This question...


    He was a little embarrassed, but he vaguely felt that this question should have something to do with


    Everly.


    Therefore, Jayden boldly said, "Mr. Maverick, you treat Miss Everly very well and will never hurt Miss


    Everly. As for what happened to you before, what you have experienced now, what you must face in


    the future... Forgive my ignorance, but I don''t know how to describe it. I think that if Mr. Maverick you


    can meet someone you like, you should stay with her. Miss Everly..."


    Jayden continued, "Miss Everly is the most suitable woman for you, Mr. Maverick."


    "Why?" Maverick''s eyes shed.


    Maverick asked, "Why is she most suitable for me?"


    Jayden thought for a moment before saying, "Because Mr. Maverick you are willing."

 Chapter 195 Helping Others to Raise Their Son

    Chapter 195 Helping Others to Raise Their Son


    Who was Maverick? If it was not what Maverick wanted, no one could approach Maverick.


    It was as outstanding as Elenore.


    Or the daughter of the Kamo family, Pira.


    There were even more socialites anddies.


    It was not important whether a person was down or not. What was important was the aura that he had.


    His eyes, his words, and his actions were all trustworthy. He was a man who would stand in a high


    position.


    Many women wanted to go to Maverick''s bed.


    Everly was the only one who didn''t need any schemes.


    It was all because...


    Even if Everly was nothing, she was still a treasure in Maverick''s mind.


    So, it was Maverick who was willing, if he was willing, everything else was not the key.


    Until the nended, Jayden didn''t know what Maverick was bothering about on the journey.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    However, during thetter half of the flight, Maverick''s mood was improving.


    By the time Maverick reached his destination, he had already adjusted his mentality.


    They got off the ne. There were already dozens of ck cars waiting outside because they had


    been contacted before.


    Beside each car stood a tall and robust man in ck.


    Upon seeing Maverick, they nodded in unison.


    Jayden sighed; he had never seen such a scene in so many years.


    At that time, the Kamo family was naturally even more glorious than now.


    Though the factions were divided into two parts, the rules were kept.


    When Maverick got into the car, his phone was turned on. No matter who was following him, he


    contacted Everly immediately.


    Although there was a time difference, Maverick knew that he must report his safety to her now.


    Sure enough, Everly picked it up at once. Maverick spoke, "I just arrived. I will contact you if there is


    any news."


    Maverick asked her very gently, "Have you eaten?"


    Everly''s tone was still a bit low, but it could be heard that she was barely holding back a bit of alive, "I


    had a little. You didn''t rest all night. Since it has already happened, you must take care of yourself."


    "I''m fine," Maverick untied the button of his suit. Now the bodyguard opened the door, Maverick was


    about to sit in, but Maverick found that there was someone in the rear seat of the car. Maverick stopped


    and his tone remained unchanged, "I''ll deal with some things. When I have news, I''ll tell you the first


    time. Take good care of yourself and don''t let me worry."


    Everly said softly, "Alright."


    Maverick said, "I''m hanging up."


    Maverick put away his phone and sat in the car. Next to Maverick was a man who was more than ten


    years older than him. The man was pure Italian. The man had a high nose bridge and deep eyes. The


    man had slightly curly yellow hair and a pair of sses on his nose. The man looked very gentle.


    Although the man was a middle-aged man, he was clean and refreshing. Probably because the sses


    covered part of his eyes, you would only think that he might be a gentle and literate man when you first


    saw this man.


    Literate man?


    Maverick thought that when he saw the man for the first time, Maverick also thought the same thing.


    Simple.


    Therefore, one should not judge a book by its cover.


    The most innocent people you had ever seen might be a superviin.


    The man you saw was gentle and elegant. He did the dirtiest things, earned the dirtiest money, killed


    people without blinking an eye, looked at everything bloody with a smile, and even fought against his


    brother and killed his father.


    Who was the person that Maverick hated the most in his life?


    It could be said that they were the old men rted to Maverick in City C.


    But if there had someone whom Maverick was afraid of.


    It was this man.


    It was Amor.


    This person could speak fluent Chinese which Maverick taught him when he was here.


    Amor was extremely smart. After Amor learned Chinese, hemunicated with Maverick in Chinese.


    Amor said, "We have not seen each other for a long time, Maverick."


    The expression on Maverick''s face did not change and only responded, "You should know why I came."


    Amor said, "I used to envy you for having a daughter. Now I should envy your son."


    Maverick did not say a word.


    Amor didn''t say a word and handed him a cigarette.


    Maverick took it and yed with it between his fingers.


    A momentter, Amor asked, "Is it not yours?"


    Maverick knew that this person was fighting with him in psychological warfare.


    Regarding Edmond''s background, Maverick had onlypared it with Everly when Maverick was in


    the country and confirmed that Edmond was his son.


    That''s right, if it was anyone else, they would think that this kind of thing had to be done with a certain


    paternity test.


    That was what Parrish thought.


    However, Maverick knew that there was no mistake.


    The first reason was that he believed in it. The second reason was that he was worried that some


    people would keep watching his everything.


    Candy''s freedom was exchanged for the rest of his mother''s life.


    Maverick did not intend to announce Edmond to the public before hepletely ended these matters.


    In addition to the problem between Maverick and Everly, Maverick was at most suspicious. Amor


    should think that a person like him could not be a stepdad. Thus, Amor had investigated the details of


    Everly''s pregnancy. It was possible that he would be suspicious, but he could not bepletely sure.


    If it was Amor who took Edmond away, Amor would need a process to determine if that was Maverick''s


    child.


    But now that Amor asked, Maverick was relieved but also worried.


    It was not Amor. Although Amor knew that he lost a child, Amor was not sure if it was Maverick''s child.


    Moreover, ording to Amor''s personality, Amor would not beat around the bush when Amor caught


    Edmond.


    Who was it that took Edmond?


    Maverick was flustered.


    This was the first time he had ever faced such a mood. He subconsciously squeezed the cigarette


    between his fingers, and the cigarette body was immediately crushed.


    Maverick realized that his actions were a little too much.


    But Amor saw it and his eyes shed.


    Amor smiled and said, "Should I apologize? In those years, you told me what true love is like. I think


    you might have met true love, so you don''t care about what the woman''s past is like at all."


    As if Amor was talking to himself, he couldn''t help but sigh, "It reminds me of my father. He was just like


    you. He was an infatuated person. If it wasn''t because he was too infatuated, you and I wouldn''t be


    sitting here chatting about this."


    Maverick steadied his emotions and asked, "You don''t know where the child is?"


    "If I wanted to know, I would know. But now, I am thinking whether I need to know," Amos said,


    "Maverick, I thought that it was your son. Now it seems that it is not. You are helping others to raise


    their son. Why are you so concerned?"

 Chapter 196 Uncle Jack

    Chapter 196 Uncle Jack


    Maverick fell silent for a moment, He seemed to beposed towards "helping others to raise their


    son".


    He was a calm person, which Amor knew for sure.


    Of course, the child was not in his hands. If so, he would not y a seemingly active but actually


    passive role today.


    He also wanted to know what had happened at that time. The child should have been under his control.


    However, another person appeared and now he didn''t know what to do.


    Amor was chewing the cud.


    So was Maverick.


    What he convinced now was that the child was no longer in Amor''s hands, but Amor had thought of it


    before.


    Otherwise, he couldn''t know so much.


    He had spared no effort to escape from his family. However, his family began to split apart. Amor was


    no longer as exalted as when he was in the ascendant. Maverick was very clear that Amor had been


    watching him all these years.


    Therefore, Amor was unlikely to know anything about what had happened in the country. On the


    contrary, he must have known it clearly.


    Maverick had never wanted to have anything to do with them, but he knew he had no other choice now.


    At least he had to know where Edmond was.


    "I know that you are still in control of the private mercenaries. Help me find out Edmond. I owe you a


    favor."


    "Is he your biological son?" Amor asked in surprise.


    "I love that woman very much," Maverick said calmly.


    Amor raised his eyebrows. "So does ite from a Chinese idiom - Love me, love my dog?"


    "Think as you like."


    "I can help you find your son, but this favor is not easy to pay back."


    "I know what you want. I promised to pay you back. But I want him toe back safe and sound."


    Amor smiled, "Sure, but I hope you can also show your attitude to my younger brother. We are the


    ones on the same boat."


    Maverick did not say anything. Amor and his brother had struggled for power for so many years.


    He did not want to involve in it.


    Amor noticed his hesitation and raised his eyebrows. "Do you think he is such a friendly person? As far


    as I know, ever since you have a girl you love, he has been watching you. You should know that he


    does not have any other hobbies, but to steal others'' beloved, especially yours. You know that he is


    particrly interested in you, Maverick."


    Maverick suddenly put on a serious face.


    Amor smiled more triumphantly, "Maverick, we used to be on the same boat. Now, we should


    cooperate. I have no interest in women. But my younger brother wants topete with me by takingText property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    advantage of his marriage with Pira. You know that Pira is fond of you, so I hope you can put on a y


    with me."


    "I can only promise you one thing." Maverick turned his head to look at the man.


    "What if I don''t agree?"


    Maverick sneered, "Don''t expect to get too much from me. I don''t owe you anything. When you used


    my mother''s life to threaten me, we had already known each other''s bottom line. Though I specially


    came here today, it doesn''t mean that this is my only choice."


    "Maverick, do you know what your weakness is? You never lower your head."


    "Because I don''t have to." Maverick raised his eyebrows.


    "Aren''t you afraid that the five-year-old boy will be hurt?"


    "Someone came for me wanted to take him away. They haven''t achieved their goal, so my son won''t be


    hurt."


    "Are you sure?"


    "If you were the one holding him, I would be even more certain. But if it was someone else, I don''t think


    there would be anyone more cold-blooded than you."


    When Amor heard the word "cold-blooded", his eyes behind the lenses gleamed and he burst into


    Maverick ignored him. Before getting off the car, he said coldly, "Five hours."


    Amor was still in control of the private mercenary group.


    It was the most well-trained killing group and intelligence group in the world.


    In the early days, the Kamo family started its business from this group.


    At that time, the one in charge of the business was Amor''s father, a very contradictory person.


    He was very cold-blooded to others, except for Amor''s mother, his beloved.


    Maverick was unwilling to recall the past.


    Amor got along well with Maverick before. Theypletely fell out after his father passed away and


    most family properties were left to Kailey and Maverick.


    As for the Kamo family...


    Maverick could not tell whether he was hateful or grateful towards this family.


    ...


    At the same time, on the other side of the earth.


    It was afternoon.


    The abandoned factory had the smell of decay. Probably because of the rain, the smell was even more


    pungent.


    A guy in ck suit and a ck cap came into the factory with a bottle in one hand. It could tell from his


    size that this guy was a man.


    In the empty factory, there was only a small bed with all kinds of cotton on it. It looked very dirty.


    However, a child lying on it.


    Her small body was slightly bent and looked pitiful.


    The man sat on the small bed. The bed was made of iron, so it immediately let out a series of cracking


    sounds.


    The little child seemed to be frightened and woke up all of a sudden.


    The man took off the mask and looked at the little boy.


    "Don''t be afraid, it''s me."


    He spoke in English, but because Edmond grew up in America, they could easilymunicate with


    each other.


    Edmond was able to recognize who it was at first sight.


    He held the bedboard with his small hands and failed to hide his fear, "... Uncle Jack?"


    It was Uncle Jack.


    Of course, Edmond knew Uncle Jack. When he was in America, Uncle Jack was with his mother most


    of the time. Uncle Jack was a very nice guy. He would often buy him delicious food and toys. Uncle


    Jack would personally drive Edmond to school when he had time.


    Uncle Jack was a doctor.


    But wasn''t he always in America?


    How could he... How could he be like this?


    Young as he was, Edmond was acute.


    Uncle Jack had many scars on his face, and his chin was full of stubble. He was not as energetic as he


    was in America, and his legs seemed to be injured.


    Only at this time did Edmond recover from the shock. After all, he was a little boy and couldn''t help to


    cry out, "Uncle Jack, why did you bring me here? Please help contact my mother. I miss her and she


    would worry about me. Why did you arrest me? You... You are not the Uncle Jack that I


    know."

 Chapter 197 A Burly Man in Black

    Chapter 197 A Burly Man in ck


    Jack had not met Edmond for a long time.


    During this time, Jack had been hiding everywhere. In Edmond''s heart, there was a world of difference


    between the Uncle Jack in front of him and the one in the past.


    The feeling of a child was the same as that of an adult, and it was also somewhat different.


    A child was straightforward, or perhaps it could be said that a child would naturally show his fears.


    Because a child did not know how to control his emotions.


    The panic in Edmond''s heart waspletely exposed to Jack''s eyes.


    Jack was a native American. He had not shaved for a few days and was like a kiwi. His eyes were


    deep like an ocean. Now he was staring at Edmond, which made Edmond quite unnerving.


    "Uncle Jack..."


    Jack finally said, "I won''t hurt you, but you have to be obedient. You know, I like obedient children. You


    used to be a good boy and just keep on, okay?"


    Edmond was about to cry, "No... I want my mom. I want my dad. Uncle Jack, please let me go. Let me


    go... I''m afraid."


    "Dad?" Jack seemed to have grasped the key point. His thick dark eyebrows suddenly frowned. "He


    has already been your dad? He must have already known. No wonder..."


    "No wonder they are all looking for you now. Don''t be afraid, Edmond. I am protecting you. Do you


    know that? If uncle hadn''t taken you away at that time, you wouldn''t be in America now. Instead, you


    are in a country called Italy," he said to himself.


    How could Edmond understand Jack''s words? Edmond would only feel that Jack had be so


    terrifying that he was gonna swallow Edmond at any time.


    He was too scared to cry.


    "Don''t cry anymore. I''ve already said that I won''t hurt you, but you have to follow me." Jack seemed to


    lose his temper.


    Regardless of whether Edmond understood or not, he continued to speak to himself, "Am I willing to do


    that? I am also threatened by others. Why do you refuse to listen to my words? If your mom could have


    cooperated with me, we wouldn''t be here today. Do you understand? It''s not my fault, but yours. I''m


    also very tired and regretful."


    "Why?"


    "I have always been threatened. I don''t want to do that either... Don''t cry anymore!"


    "I''ve told you not to cry anymore! Shut up! Shut up!"


    Jack suddenly threw the bottle of water out. The bottle fell on the floor, and let out a very harsh sound,


    which couldn''t be covered by Edmond''s crying.


    Edmond was more sensible than other kids in his age.


    Scared as he was, he could perceive that Jack was angry.


    He rubbed his eyes, looking at Jack through his misty eyes. Only at this time did Edmond realize that


    this guy was no longer the Uncle Jack he knew before.


    He thought of the anime he had watched. The protagonist would be quite calm when facing the bad


    guys. If the protagonist encountered difficulties, he couldn''t behave in a panic. Thus, tears could not


    solve any problems.


    He thought of the anime he had always been watching and the character that he liked very much.


    Edmond finally stopped crying. Perhaps he was afraid that Jack would go crazy and hurt him.


    He made an apology.


    "Uncle Jack, I was wrong. I won''t cry, but don''t be so fierce. I''m afraid."


    Edmond took after Everly very much. During this time, Jack had been threatened to get mad but he


    had always felt guilty towards Everly. Because of that, Jack had never hurt Everly.


    Apart from that incident back then.


    Looking at Edmond, he calmed down a little and thought of Everly.


    Taking a deep breath, he let go of his tightly clenched fists and finally said, "Be good. I won''t hurt you,


    but you have to be with me. I will protect you."


    Edmond did not know what this so-called protection meant.


    But Jack has told Edmond that he wouldn''t be hurt more than one time.


    In fact, he also had some feelings for Jack. Edmond did not know that Jack was his delivery doctor.


    Jack was somewhat ying an important role in Edmond''s growth path.


    Jack also had an affection for Edmond.


    Such affection would make it easier for them to get along with each other.


    For example, now Edmond would subconsciously believe what Jack said and he could calm himself


    down as well.


    Edmond said to Jack, "I''m hungry."


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Jack nced at the bottle of water on the ground and murmured to himself, then said, "Wait for me, I''ll


    go buy you something to eat. But, Edmond, don''t run away. I''ll lock the door and this is the only time I


    can believe you. If you move or want to escape, then from now on, you will have to starve,


    understand?"


    Edmond pursed his lips and remained silent.


    Jack narrowed his eyes, "Or do you want to starve now?"


    Edmond''s stomach was growling. He had no other choices but said, "Uncle Jack, I won''t run away. I''m


    hungry and I want to eat."


    Jack nodded. Before he left, he pointed at his own eyes and then the surveince camera in the corner,


    which meant that Edmond was being watched.


    Hearing the sound of locking the factory''s big iron gate, the five-year-old Edmond was frightened again.


    ...


    Everly knew she was dreaming again.


    She''d had nightmares these few days.


    She had dreamt of Edmond being thrown out of the car or being shot. What''s worse, she would dream


    that Edmond got lost and she couldn''t find him day after day, so finally, she got mad.


    Waking up from the nightmare, her whole body ached and her head became dizzy, which was hard to


    describe how ufortable she was.


    Everly touched her cheek and realized that she was crying.


    Edmond, where are you?


    She reached for her phone. There were a few missed calls and WeChat messages.


    They were from Maverick.


    Everly could only fall asleep when she took the sleeping pills. She hadn''t had a good rest for a long


    time but didn''t want her body to copse.


    Though she felt dizzy, she managed to regain her spirit. The message from Maverick said, "There will


    be clues soon."


    Everly was still worried. Just as she was about to make a call, there was a knock on the door. Then,


    she heard Gloria''s voice, "Everly, are you awake? Can mom go in?"


    Everly patted her cheek to cheer herself up. She quickly got out of bed and went to open the door.


    Gloria had also been haggard these days. She''d already been getting aged and had been carefree in


    her twilight years. Other than worrying about Parrish''s health, herter years of life should have been


    very happy.


    But now, because of Edmond, she was deadly shocked. What''s worse, Gloria always thought that it


    was her responsibility that she didn''t take good care of Edmond.


    "Mom, didn''t you go to sleep?"


    "How can I sleep?" Gloria sighed and pulled Everly''s hand, almost shedding tears, "Everly, these days,


    I have been thinking about what happened that day. I haven''t had dementia and remember it clearly. I


    tried very hard to recall that there was indeed a person at that time. The guy dressed up bizarrely. I


    think he must be the one who took Edmond away."


    "Mom, don''t think too much. Maverick told me that Edmond will be found soon."


    "No, Everly, listen to me. Now I can clearly memorize it. At that time, a man wearing a very strange


    outfit passed by me. He was dressed in ck and even his cap was ck. He was also wearing a


    mask, tall and strong, and looked quite burly."

 Chapter 198 An Italian Who Also Looked for Jack

    Chapter 198 An Italian Who Also Looked for Jack


    Gloria was quite sure about what she saw that day and kept telling Everly.


    "I was too nervous at that time and memorized some details. But I have been thinking these two days


    that the man in ck is the key to finding Edmond. Hurry up to tell your brother or Maverick."


    Everly thought that Gloria was just thinking too much.


    But at this critical moment, she also believes that she could not let go of any clues.


    Everly wanted to call Maverick first. However, it was dark in Maverick''s time zone. Maverick was busy


    these days and must be tired, so she called Hendrix first.


    Hendrix and Maverick had carried out a full-scale scout in the country, but there was still no clue except


    for the fingerprint.


    Therefore, hearing what Gloria had said, Hendrix contacted the police right away.


    However, it was hard to find out the so-called man in ck.


    Gloria seemed to trigger her memories at this time. In the next few hours, she told Everly more than


    once, "I am sure that person is not Chinese. He was heavily muscled, which is different from the


    Chinese. Maverick has gone abroad to find Edmond. Have you made enemies abroad?"


    ...


    But they were all Gloria''s consumptions.


    She could not memorize who would take Edmond away now.


    All she could do was trying to recall from her blurry memory.


    Though her words sound unreasonable, it reminded Everly of something.


    She thought of the most crucial guy, Jack.


    She didn''t pay much attention to Jack''s text messages and his words even at thest time they met.


    But now it seemed to have some rtions to Edmond''s loss. Was it just a coincidence?


    At that time, Jack had told her more than once.


    Although she couldn''t memorize his words clearly and all the text messages had been deleted, Everly


    could still remember the general meaning of not telling others about Edmond.


    Thinking of this, Everly immediately took out her phone. She called the phone number in which she


    contacted Jackst time but it was no longer in service.


    Everly was a little nervous and confused. She might have forgotten about Jack for a long time and


    didn''t know what he was doing right now.


    Everly had an American phone number of Jack''s working ce. She called the number and asked


    about Jack''s current situation.


    She used to be Jack''s Chinese wife in name because at that time she had to stay in America with


    Edmond.


    Jack was kind and got along well with his colleague, who knew Everly as well. They had not contacted


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    each other for a long time and were stunned when receiving the call from her. The other side of the


    phone said, "He has been away for a long time."


    Everly knew that Jack was a member of Doctors Without Borders and had to travel around the world.


    However, they were couples in name. In fact, they seldom talked much about privacy and respected


    each other. Everly could not find any other clues, so she could only ask his former colleagues.


    "Has anyone met him recently?"


    The other side said with a smile, "I haven''t seen him for two years. I heard that he had joined in the


    Doctors Without Borders."


    There was another one on the other side said, "Someone looked for Jack before."


    Everly immediately asked, "Who?"


    The phone was taken by that guy, "Hi, Everly. Remember who I am? I used to be on duty with Jack.


    Yes, someone did look for Jackst month. An Italian. But we didn''t know where Jack was. We''ve


    seldom gotten in touch with him since he left two years ago. By the way,e back to see us when


    you have time and have dinner together."


    She didn''t get any useful information, but she became alert that there was an Italian looking for Jack.


    She exchanged a few words with these people and hung up the phone.


    She could not make up her mind on this matter.


    Everly told Hendrix all these things as soon as Hendrix came back.


    Hendrix, who had been busy these days, touched his chin and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I


    have neglected such an important clue. Did Jack give you some documents for the divorce? His


    personal information must be on it. Give them to me. I will get someone to find out more details."


    Everly rummaged through the boxes and cabs and quickly found the documents and gave them all


    to Hendrix. Only then did Everly think of calling Maverick.


    However, it happened that Maverick called her at this time.


    Everly hurriedly picked up the phone.


    She wanted to tell him about Jack as soon as possible, but Maverick spoke first, "Everly, how are you


    feeling? We will get some clues soon."


    It seemed that he didn''t get more information.


    However, Everly had a very strong feeling that Edmond''s getting lost might have something to do with


    Jack and the words he had said before.


    "I''m fine." Everly''s voice was a little hoarse but became much calmer, "Today, I suddenly thought of a


    guy... Well, my husband in name when I was in America. He came to C City to bring me some


    documents and said something strange to me."


    Everly said briefly about Jack and concluded, "I was wondering if he has some rtions with this


    matter since you believe that it has nothing to do with Zane, the Kahl family, and the Rice family. I''ve


    just contacted Jack''s colleagues in America. They said that some time ago, an Italian went there to


    look for Jack. Now that you are in Italy, I don''t think it''s a coincidence.


    Maverick fell silent for a long time.


    However, Everly felt that it was quite reasonable, "Maverick, find Jack. I have already asked Hendrix to


    look for him."

 Chapter 199 They Were in the Same Hospital

    Chapter 199 They Were in the Same Hospital


    ording to what Everly had said, Maverick only had the attitude of giving it a try and investigated this


    Jack.


    However, what surprised him was that Amos had indeed given him a detailed document during the time


    he was given.


    It was something that even the police could not investigate. Even if there were no surveince


    cameras, Amos still could do so. It could be known that the person who took Edmond away was a man


    in ck.


    It was a man in ck again. It seemed to match what Everly said.


    Previously, he had thought that Everly was overthinking. But now, Maverick naturally took it seriously.


    Amos only sent him the only vague screenshot of the surveince. There was no trace of Edmond.


    However, the person was the only one who appeared there when Edmond disappeared.


    Maverick knew that Amos must still have a way out. Amos could not tell him everything.


    Fortunately, Everly also had such news. It made him even more certain that Edmond''s disappearance


    should have nothing to do with Amos. Or rather, Amos might want to do something to Edmond. But


    Edmond would never be in his hands.


    He prepared to leave Italy the next day.


    Before leaving, he received a call from Kailey.


    Maverick had been busy during this period. He came to Italy a few times, but he was also busy with his


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    things and the troublesome matters. He did not want to bother Kailey.


    "Maverick, are you in Italy?" It seemed that Kailey knew what happened. She said, "Do you have time?


    Come and find me."


    It was not a negotiation tone. Maverick knew that Kailey must have received some news. He thought


    for a moment and took the time to go to visit Kailey.


    Kailey looked no different from a normal person now. However, in fact, the ce where she lived was


    always looked at by people.


    When Maverick got out of the car, he had already noticed that the number of people here had


    increased a lot because of the recent events.


    When he entered, the servant who apanied Kailey all year round weed him with a smile, "Mr.


    Maverick, Madam is waiting for you inside. Have you eaten? I''ll prepare some food for you."


    "No need." Maverick took off his coat, casually hung it on his arm, and walked upstairs.


    Kailey had just taken her medicine. She was sitting on the sofa, looking down at something.


    Hearing the footsteps at the door, she looked up. There were still some emotions in her eyes. Maverick


    clearly saw the guilt and frustration in her eyes.


    It was rare for her body to be controlled well over the past few years. Her emotions could not be


    changed a lot.


    Maverick was more certain that it was she was touched because of what happened to the child.


    "Mom." Maverick stepped forward and squatted in front of Kailey. He reached out and patted the back


    of her hand. Sure enough, he found that she was holding a photo of Candy.


    "I asked someone to investigate Everly." Kailey said, "Maverick, don''t me me. I did it for you.


    Sometimes I feel that you are very simr to me. I hope that you will not be as miserable as me. We


    don''tck money. We all know we never attach great importance to money. What weck is still


    feelings, so I am worried that you will fall into it and be unable to extricate yourself."


    Maverick did not say anything.


    Kailey couldn''t help but sigh, "All along, I have been sorry for Candy. Now, I don''t dare to face her. After


    I found out that you were with Everly, I learned that she had a child five years ago."


    Maverick had to say, "Mom, I wanted to talk to you after everything has been confirmed. That child is


    my son. Five years ago, I had met Everly. Of course, it was confirmed some time ago. You know, our


    current situation is still veryplicated. I don''t want to announce anything to the public."


    "So, are you sure that the child is your son?"


    "Yes."


    "Since you''re so sure, how could the two people of the Kamo family not know?"


    Maverick pondered for a moment, but in the end, he still avoided the important part. He said, "They


    probably don''t know. The child who was brought back was Candy. Edmond was brought up by Everly. It


    was something I couldn''t even think of before. They can''t have such extraordinary abilities. And


    Edmond''s disappearance has nothing to do with them."


    Amos should have thought about it before, or else he wouldn''t know it so well.


    Five hours was enough to get some clues, but he did not know where Edmond was now.


    In fact, Maverick was now basically certain that Edmond''s disappearance should be rted to the man


    in ck in this photo. Besides, the man in ck was very likely to be Jack that Everly mentioned.


    Currently, he knew nothing about Jack. He needed to investigate him to be confirmed.


    Kailey was experienced. Now, she was still able to keep her cool about the matter. She said, "I asked


    you toe here today not only because of the child. I believe you can handle it. But there is one thing


    that I felt a little strange before. You say that the child is your child. Then, I have to tell you something.


    Maverick, have you asked that what hospital was Everly in when she gave birth?"


    Maverick was stunned.


    He had never asked Everly about this.


    From the time he confirmed that Edmond was his son to now, it had only been a few days.


    Recently, he had to care about thepany and deal with what happened in Italy. He had no time to


    think about it.


    "Mom, what do you want to say?"


    Kailey nced at Maverick and handed him a folder. She said, "Maybe it''s just my momentary


    sensitivity. In short, when I saw these things at that time, I felt that it was quite strange. You should also


    take a look. I''m not suspecting anything, but this is not a small matter. You have to figure it out. In


    addition, Maverick, I do not object to you dating any woman. Actually, I agree with Miss Elenore who


    was by your side back then. I don''t object to you dating Everly. But I won''t let a woman with ulterior


    motives stay by your side."


    Maverick frowned, "Mom, is there any misunderstanding? Everly is not a woman with ulterior motives.


    It has always been me who wanted to be with her. She knows nothing."


    Kailey suddenly said, "She is Parrish''s daughter."


    Maverick was stunned, "Mom, you know Parrish?"


    Even though the Farley family had made great achievements in their business, they couldn''t be on the


    same line as the Waller family.


    It seemed that it was not only as simple as knowing Parrish for Kailey.

 Chapter 200 He Missed Everly

    Chapter 200 He Missed Everly


    Maverick felt that it was troublesome.


    There were too many problems waiting for him to solve. If his mother and Parrish had any conflicts,


    then it would be even more difficult for him to be with Everly.


    "Yes." Kailey looked at Maverick and asked, "You have been together with Everly. Then you must have


    seen her family, right?"


    Maverick said, "Yes."


    "What is her father''s attitude towards you?"


    Maverick frowned slightly, but he had to tell the truth, "It''s normal. Mom, is there any past?"


    Kailey seemed to sneer. All these years, she had been controlling her emotions very well because of


    her body. However, Maverick noticed that she was cynical about that. Therefore, Maverick could be


    sure that there was some conflict between Kailey and Parrish.


    He knew that his mother was not a narrow-minded person. If she was still brooding over it after so


    many years, it would not be a small matter.


    Maverick felt even more helpless. It seemed that Kailey was not willing to say more.


    It was almost time for him to rush back, so he couldn''t stay any longer. However, before he left,


    Maverick still said to Kailey, "Mom, no matter what person Parrish is, I will be with Everly forever. It is


    impossible for us to be separated. Our fate is destined. Besides, there is Edmond between us. I will


    bring Edmond to see you next time. You will like him."


    Kailey didn''t express much about it. When Maverick left, he took the information Kailey gave him.


    On the ne, he opened it to take a look. It was some specific information about Everly''s pregnancy


    and giving birth.


    What surprised Maverick was that Everly used to give birth to Edmond in the MD Zender Hospital.


    No wonder his mother was so concerned. Although she did not directly express that she would keep


    objecting to Everly, she still showed a certain attitude in her actions.


    She probably had some sort of conflict with Parrish, so she had some concern for Everly.


    However, all of this was secondary.


    MD Zender Hospital was also the hospital that Candy was born in.


    The only thing Maverick could think of now was that in Kailey''s opinion, all of this seemed to be


    intentional.


    However, he thought that it was fate for him to meet someone again after five years.


    He did not take it seriously. Now, he wanted to know where Jack was.


    After returning to City C from Italy, Maverick immediately went to the Farley family.


    Perhaps it was because Kailey had mentioned Parrish to him, on the way, Maverick thought for a long


    time and asked Jayden to investigate Parrish in private.


    When he arrived at the Farley family home, it was already evening. There was Hendrix''s car in the


    garage. Hendrix had been at the Farley family recently.


    Gloria had juste out when she saw Mavericke back. She was immediately happy and thought


    that there was news about Edmond. She rushed up and asked, "Maverick, is there any news about


    Edmond?"


    Maverick did not want to disappoint her too much, so when he answered gently, "There is some good


    news. I will find him soon. He must be safe for now. Don''t worry."


    Gloria was not stupid. She knew that Maverick wasforting her. Her face immediately copsed.


    But before she could ask a few more questions, she heard footstepsing from behind. It was


    Parrish.


    Parrish''s attitude towards Maverick was not very good, but it was not very bad either.


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    After this incident, Parrish felt that it happened because of them. Therefore, his attitude towards


    Maverick improved a lot.


    He asked, "Is there any news?"


    Maverick repeated what he said. Parrish could not help but sigh, "We have to find him quickly. Edmond


    is too young. He will be frightened."


    "I know."


    Maverick asked, "Everly..."


    When he was about to ask that where Everly was, he saw Everly running out of the door.


    Perhaps she did not rest well because of what happened to Edmond these past two days. From a


    distance, it could be seen that herplexion was not particrly good. Her lips were a little pale.


    However, when she suddenly saw Maverick, her eyes were a little spirited, which made Maverick


    unable to help but feel a little excited.


    It seemed that after the incident with the photos, he wanted to have her at all times.


    Just like now, when Everly ran towards him, Maverick did not care whether there were other people


    around him. He reached out and held her in his arms. It seemed that they were glued to each other.


    Parrish could not help but cough. However, it didn''t work. He shook his head. Naturally, he didn''t want


    to bother them.


    However, when he turned to leave, he could not help but nce at Maverick.


    It was obvious that he wanted to say something to Maverick.


    Parrish had his hands behind his back. He was pondering in his heart. After all, it had happened many


    years ago. In fact, the Waller family had disappeared. Kailey probably couldn''te back. In the end,


    what happened back then...


    Perhaps he should not stop his daughter''s happiness.


    Moreover, Edmond was Maverick''s son, so what right did he have to stop them?


    ...


    Everly brought Maverick upstairs.


    As soon as they entered the room, Maverick directly picked her up. He seemed to particrly like


    holding Everly.


    She couldn''t help but stretch out her legs to grab his waist and mutter, "Put me down first and get down


    to business. Is there any news?"


    Maverick did not let her go. He missed her. They had only been apart for about twenty hours, but now


    he only wanted to stick to her and smell the scent on her body to ease his yearning for her.


    "I''ll tell you."


    Maverick hugged her and sat directly on the bed. He reached out and gently stroked her long hair.


    Looking at her face up close, he felt that the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious. Maverick


    felt heart aching for her. He said, "Didn''t I tell you not to think too much? I am very distressed for you."


    Everly''s heart trembled when she heard what he said.


    "If I can''t find Edmond, how can I have a good rest? Is there any news?"


    "Yes."


    Everly asked, with her heart in her throat, "How is it?"


    "The one you told me, your ex-husband..." He knew that she had no other choice about what had


    happened back then. Moreover, at that time, they didn''t know each other. However, when Maverick


    mentioned her ex-husband, he was jealous, "What I suspect now is that he took Edmond


    away."

 Chapter 201 He Spoiled Her

    Chapter 201 He Spoiled Her


    Everly indeed felt that Jack was a little strange.


    But she still couldn''t believe that he would kidnap Edmond.


    "But, I don''t think that Jack will hurt Edmond. He was my doctor when Edmond was born. And I helped


    him back then..."


    Everly paused for a moment, feeling that Maverick was a little unhappy.


    Although Beth still hadn''t given Everly any evidence regarding the photos, Everly was certain that it


    was Elenore who did it.


    Through that incident, she could feel that Maverick had strong possessiveness. He would feel that it


    would be harmless even if he did it.


    Now that his face was filled with unhappiness and jealousy with her past because of that she


    mentioned Jack.


    Everly ignored the past and emphasized, "In short, Jack and I are very good friends. He also likes


    Edmond. He will not do anything to hurt Edmond."


    Maverick raised his eyebrows, but his tone was low, "Are you so sure?"


    Everly had always been very insistent on what she could confirm. This could also be considered her


    temper, so she nodded seriously, "I''m not suspicious. I just feel that it might have something to do with


    Jack, but I still don''t want to believe that he will take Edmond away. But indeed, he said a lot of strange


    things to me before. Thest time we met, he also said some things to me, telling me not to admit that I


    have a son. So I think it might be a clue when I told you."


    Maverick took the vague screenshot of the video and gave it to Everly.


    "Since you are very familiar with each other, can you recognize this back?"


    When Everly saw it, she almost immediately recognized it.


    It was Jack.


    In fact, there is no special characteristic. However, if she had known someone for five years, who was


    once her nominal husband, a good friend of her in reality, she would recognize him at a nce.


    Everly nodded, "It is indeed Jack."


    "He appeared when Edmond disappeared." Maverick asked directly, "He used to be a doctor at the MD


    Zender Hospital?"


    Everly nodded, "Yes. But he resigned two years ago and has always been a member of Doctors


    Without Borders."


    "Thest time you met him in City C?"


    "Yeah, it wasn''t too long. He sent me a text message after that. I always felt that his words were a little


    strange."


    "Is the message still there?"


    "It has already been deleted. He asked me to delete it after I read it."


    Maverick pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you received any strange calls recently?"


    Everly tried hard to recall. There were definitely phone calls every day, including some marketing, credit


    cards, and so on. But when she thought about it specifically, she couldn''t be able to think of it carefully.


    She couldn''t recall any strange call.


    When she had to recall if there was a number that she didn''t know, she definitely couldn''t remember.


    Therefore, Everly had indeed forgotten that there had been an unfamiliar missed call.


    "No."


    Maverick reached out and patted her back gently. He said, "Now, I can confirm that there will be results


    soon. So, don''t worry anymore. I believe what you said. Jack won''t casually hurt Edmond. As for why


    he took Edmond away, we will ask when we find him."


    Everly bit her lip and asked, "Is it really Jack?"


    "I believe in my judgment."


    Everly did not say anything else. There was no point in saying anything else now.


    Maverick asked her, "Have you eaten?"


    Everly shook her head. She said, "I don''t have much appetite."


    "You have to eat, don''t you? I''m calmer than you now because I think Edmond will be fine. Besides, it


    doesn''t work even if you don''t eat, drink, or sleep. Believe me, Edmond wille back safely."


    He wasforting her when Edmond didn''te back safely.


    Everly didn''t have much confidence. But Maverick insisted on letting her eat something. The Farley


    family had already prepared dinner downstairs. Gloria and Parrish saw that Everly and Maverick went


    upstairs, so they went upstairs after having dinner.


    Maverick went to the kitchen and personally prepared some food for Everly. He even fed her in person.


    Her expression was not very good. Maverick was distressed about her worried look.


    After letting Everly eat half a bowl of rice, he stuck to her and coaxed her to sleep.


    Perhaps it was because Maverick was by her side that Everly fell asleep.


    Maverick was sure that she was asleep. The soft expression on her face seemed to disappear.


    Finally, he reached out and gently brushed her eyshes. After confirming that she waspletely


    asleep, he stood up with a cold face.


    He quietly took out a red bag from his pocket, put it on his nose, and sniffed it. The smell was almost


    gone. He could not help sighing.


    It was the medicine prescribed before. He knew that Everly must not have been able to sleep well. One


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    of the Farley family''s servants told him that Everly had taken sleeping pills these two days.


    Therefore, Maverick found a doctor to get some sachet that could make her sleep well.


    He opened the drawer and put the red sachet in. He leaned over and sniffed her forehead, carefully


    covered her with the quilt, and then went out.


    As soon as he left the bedroom, he saw Hendrix standing at the door.


    Hendrix was about to knock on the door, but when he saw Mavericke out, he raised his eyebrows


    and asked, "Does Everly fall asleep?"


    Maverick nodded and quickly closed the door.


    Hendrix smiled and said, "You can persuade her. She had never slept in the past few days. She only


    slept after taking sleeping pillsst night. I was worried about her."


    Maverick frowned, "Is there any news?"


    "He should have changed his name. It''s not easy to find him now. Fortunately, there are photos and


    some useful identity information. He will be found soon. I am mainly worried that he will hurt Edmond


    when the timees."


    Maverick said, "I can think of it, so you have to move quickly. After you find him, don''t force him. I can


    be sure that it is him."


    "Why?"


    "Did Everly give birth to Edmond in the MD Zender Hospital?"


    Hendrix was stunned, "Yes. Is it rted?"


    Maverick originally wanted to say that his daughter was also born in that hospital, but for some reason,


    when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back and changed his words. He said, "It''s nothing.


    Maybe it has something to do with me. I will tell you the detailster. In short, I am confident that it is


    Jack who took Edmond away."


    Hendrix did not understand. He said, "Actually when Everly told me about it at the beginning, I thought


    that there might be a connection. But Jack... How should I put it? I have seen Jack before. He was a


    doctor. When Everly gave birth to Edmond, he took good care of them. Logically speaking, he would


    not have kidnapped Edmond, right?"

 Chapter 202 Edmond Was Found

    Chapter 202 Edmond Was Found


    "Then why do you think he appeared around Edmond at this time? He is an American who used to be a


    member of Doctors Without Borders. Do you think it is really such a coincidence?"


    Maverick lit a cigarette. He narrowed his eyes and took two puffs. He breathed and looked at Hendrix,


    "Everly just doesn''t want to ept the truth. But I suspect that this matter is not simple. Not only does


    Jack want to kidnap Edmond, but he also wants to get some benefits. Candy was brought back from


    MD Zender Hospital. I suspect that someone in Italy wants to confirm something."


    Hendrix fell silent.


    What Maverick said naturally had a reason.


    Everly was different. She was the one who had the closest rtionship with Jack, so she would not


    think that Jack would hurt Edmond.


    But in fact, how could Everly know what happened to Jack?


    Maverick and Hendrix were bystanders. Maverick would analyze it in the calmest mind.

    "As long as he is in the country, he will be found soon." Hendrix said, "Let''s talk about it when we find


    him."


    It had only been a few hours when there was indeed news.


    Hendrix knew about Jack earlier than Maverick. He had already asked people to look for Jack. When


    the news came, Jayden also had news.


    Hendrix''s assistant told him, "This American called Jack did have information about entering the


    country a while ago. But it has been almost a month since he entered the country, and he has never


    left. He is certainly in the country."


    Of course, Jayden also found out about this. He had more detail. He said, "Jack left after staying in City


    C for a few days. After that, he should have gone to Weirdale. It seems that he has been chased all the


    time. He is hiding from people. I asked Mr. Byron to help me. Mr. Byron quickly responded. This was all


    the surveince data that he could see in Weirdale before. Jack indeed left Weirdale and returned to


    Weirdale two days after Edmond disappeared. Therefore, it is certain that if Edmond was currently


    kidnapped by Jack, he is in Weirdale."


    This news was undoubtedly the best news he had heard in the past two days.


    Maverick and Hendrix did not think about anything else and immediately prepared to go to Weirdale.


    It happened in just a few hours. Maverick thought about it. Before leaving, he went to find Everly.


    She slept well. The sachet that helped her sleep was quite useful.


    Maverick sat by the bed and stared at her. He originally wanted to wake her up. If they didn''t go to Italy,


    Maverick was more inclined to take her to Weirdale.


    But when he saw that she was sleeping so well, Maverick could not bear to wake her up.


    After sitting for more than ten minutes, he still did not wake her up.


    Before he left, Maverick kissed her forehead.


    When Everly woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. She slept too deeply and did not


    dream. Instead, she felt much morefortable. It was just that she had a headache.


    The first thing she did was to find Maverick, but she was told that Maverick and Hendrix went to


    Weirdale together.


    Everly''s heart skipped a beat. She thought that they should go there to find Edmond.


    She contacted Maverick immediately andined, "You said you would tell me if you had news.


    Why didn''t you tell me when you went to Weirdale?"


    Maverick said softly, "I have arranged for someone. When you wake up, they will bring you to


    Weirdale."


    He paused and breathed a sigh of relief, "Everly, I have found our son."


    ...


    Edmond didn''t like the food in front of him.


    It made him feel that he had no appetite.


    He was a child. He showed his love and hate directly.


    He still had some temper. Moreover, the "kidnapper" in front of him was his Uncle Jack, so Edmond


    pushed the food box in front of him. He said, "Uncle Jack, I don''t want to eat this."


    Jack raised his head, "There is no other choice. Hurry up and finish it. We will set off."


    Edmond said, "But I don''t like it. Mom said that this kind of food is not healthy. I don''t want to eat fast


    food."


    When Jack heard what Edmond said, he naturally thought that Edmond was different from the past.


    Now Edmond was Maverick''s son. Although he had never officially met Maverick, he knew that


    Maverick had a huge impact on his entire life.


    He thought of the past, thought of how he was still eating these things which were disliked by a child,


    his emotions quickly stirred.


    "I said, eat it. Otherwise, you will starve."


    Edmond''s eyes reddened. He said, "But Uncle Jack, I don''t like it. Can I change it?"


    "No."


    "Uncle..."


    "Shut up! Why are you so talkative? Do you know that I don''t need to be like this at all if it wasn''t for


    you? Why are you still so picky? Do you need me to feed you?"


    His fiendish look frightened Edmond.


    The mouth of Edmond curled up. He picked up his chopsticks and barely ate a few mouthfuls. He really


    couldn''t eat anymore.


    He began to talk to Jack, "Uncle Jack, why do you say it''s because of me? You were a good friend of


    my mom, weren''t you? Mom will worry me if you take me away like this."


    "That''s because your mommy is disobedient." Jack said fiercely, "I don''t want to hurt anyone. I also


    think your mommy is a good person. I have told her many times, but she doesn''t listen to me."


    "Can you send me home? My dad is a very powerful person. If you are in trouble, I will ask dad to help


    you."


    Jack looked at the innocent eyes in front of him and suddenly sneered, "That''s right. Your father is a


    very powerful person. He doesn''t need to do anything to make me look so miserable. I can''t go back


    home and can''t do my work. Do you know what it means?"


    Edmond shrank his neck in fear, "Why are you so irritable now? You were not such a person before."


    "Shut up. Don''t let me knock you out!"


    Jack frowned as he warned Edmond.


    However, Edmond understood that although Uncle Jack was fierce, he did not really do anything to hurt


    him, except for these unptable foods.


    He was thinking about whether he should try to persuade Uncle Jack again. Jack suddenly saw the


    surveince camera installed at the factory door sh.


    It was clear that someone hade.


    Jack''s face changed dramatically. He almost pushed the table in front of him away and grabbed


    Edmond''s hand without any exnation. He only had time to hurriedly take away the pistol that he had


    been protecting himself. Then he was about to leave through the back door.

 Chapter 203 I Asked You to be a Good Person

    Chapter 203 I Asked You to be a Good Person


    Edmond saw it too.


    Although he was young, he could distinguish right from wrong.


    Jack just caught Edmond and said that he wouldn''t hurt Edmond. But he refused to take Edmond to


    see his parents. He wanted to run away when he saw that there were security cameras. What did this


    mean?


    Edmond thought that Jack was doing something bad now!


    Edmond subconsciously wanted to resist.


    However, his small body was iparable to a strong man. Feeling Edmond moved a little, Jack was


    very impatient. He picked Edmond up to his shoulder, leaving the abandoned factory through the back


    door.


    Jack did not expect that he would be discovered.


    Jack felt regret when much evidence could not be destroyed.


    As long as he was discovered, people would know that he had lived here, which was equivalent to


    exposing his whereabouts. But he had been very cautious recently. How could he be so easily


    discovered?


    In fact, Jack knew that the people in Italy had been looking for him.


    The reason why he hid in China was only that their hands were not stretched so long. He was safe in


    China during this period.


    Only Asia was a ce where those people were temporarily unable to stretch their "fists and legs".


    Jack was very smart. He suspected the reason why he was discovered now was taking Edmond away.


    It was indeed not difficult for Maverick or Hendrix to find him here.


    Jack carried Edmond and walked faster.


    Edmond wanted to struggle. He knew Jack wanted to escape with nervousness because his father


    would save him!


    In Edmond''s heart, Maverick was a god.


    Regardless of whether Maverick was Edmond''s father or not, Edmond had a kind of inexplicable


    worship from the first time he saw Maverick.


    He contacted Maverick many times and felt that Maverick was his father. However, he did not know


    This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    what did father and ethnicity mean.


    He still believed in Maverick.


    This trust was the highest.


    He thought his father was the most powerful person to save him so quickly. Edmond was being held by


    Jack, struggling. Jack was anxious because of the struggling of this little fellow. He held Edmond tightly


    and he frowned to warn him, "If you move again, I will throw you out!"


    As soon as Edmond heard that he was going to throw himself out, he moved more fiercely and


    shouted, "Jack, you should surrender. You are not as powerful as my father. I can say something good


    to my father because you did not really hurt me. Put me down quickly."


    Jack was annoyed, "Shut up! Edmond, my patience is limited. Don''t anger me again."


    "Jack, where can you take me? There will be persons bonded to my father everywhere."


    "You don''t need to worry. You need to be obedient. You are a child. Why are you so talkative?"


    "I want you to be a good person. It is illegal for you to capture me."


    "You know about thew? Little child, shut up. I didn''t capture you, I am saving you. Do you know if I


    hadn''t taken the risk to take you away that day, you would probably be gone?"


    Edmond thought about it seriously and said, "So, Jack, bring me to my father. My father will definitely


    listen to you for the reason. You were my Jack forever."


    Jack stopped his steps.


    Edmond thought that he was the one who said it and let this Jack listen to it. He kept saying, "Jack,


    weren''t you a doctor before? Mom told me that I was delivered by you. Although you pursued Mom


    before, I didn''t particrly like you at that time. I thought that Mom shouldn''t marry a foreigner. I don''t


    hate you, I..."


    "I told you to shut up!"


    Jack growled in a low voice.


    He was tall and sturdy like other typical European and Americans. His low roar startled Edmond.


    Jack covered Edmond''s mouth.


    Edmond was carried all the way here by him. They run from the abandoned factory to the back of the


    mountain.


    This ce was in the middle of nowhere. There were little trees at the foot of the mountain. After


    bypassing a mountain, there was a graveyard.


    Very few people woulde to this remote ce.


    The road was not t.


    The man covered Edmond''s mouth and nose with his palm powerfully. Edmond was hard to breathe.


    Edmond kept patting the man''s shoulder and cried.


    Jack listened to the sound around him carefully.


    He had some self-defense skills because he had been hiding for so long. He was sure that those


    people had followed him here.


    At the moment, he only felt that the child in his arms was a burden. He thought if he didn''t knock the


    child out, the child won''t stop screaming.


    Jack frowned. He knocked the back of Edmond''s neck with the hand covering Edmond''s mouth.


    Before Edmond could catch his breath, he fainted.


    Jack held him firmly and quickened his pace, walking towards the top of the mountain from the back.


    ...


    At the same time.


    Byron jumped down from his jeep. He was handsome in white clothes, ck pants, and a pair of ck


    leather boots.


    Byron from the Puth family was very noble. When he stood at the entrance of the factory, he frowned


    and waved his hand in front of him, "Wow, can such a ce have residents? It''s incredible. Who do you


    think forced him to be here?"


    He hit his stride as he wittered. He followed the indifferent man in ck and entered the factory.


    He said a few words but did not get a response.


    Byron did not care at all and continued to witter.


    "I think you have to thank me. How could you have found him so quickly without me? Right? Did this


    American guy escape? Sure, there are surveince cameras everywhere. It seems that he already


    knew when we came in."


    Maverick observed the surroundings for a while.


    He found a sock on the bed soon.


    He felt nervous. He quickly stepped forward to pick up the sock. He confirm the sock belonged to


    Edmond.


    Damn it, his spection was correct!


    Edmond was taken away by Jack.


    Byron e looked at the back door of the factory again and the door wasn''t actually closed.


    Byron whispered, "Jack runs quite fast, but this ce is very remote. It''s hard for him to walk without a


    car. We can seal all the exits at the foot of the mountain."

    Chapter 204 The Rest 20% Needed Everly to Help


    "He won''t go down the mountain now. He should be up the mountain."


    Maverick stood at the back door and gently kicked the door. Looking outside, there are marks of


    several steps.


    He nced at the road and confirmed.


    "We need to go up the mountain to look for Jack. He won''t be able to escape in such a short time."


    Maverick thought about it and felt that something was wrong, "I will go by myself. Byron, don''t find Jack


    now."


    Byron stepped forward, "Why?"


    Maverick said, "He only took Edmond away. I can''t say what''s his purpose now. But I am sure that he


    didn''t hurt Edmond. If too many people attack him at once, I''m afraid that he will be fierce."


    Byron thought about it and felt that it made sense.


    He only wanted to go up the mountain with Maverick.


    Maverick originally did not intend to let Byron follow him, but this guy determined, "You also rarely ask


    me for help. I did a good job to solve the problem of Denst time, didn''t I? You don''t even know that


    he was angry when finding himself in a trap. I made a video of him when he was angry. I feel that you


    will use it in the future."


    Maverick sneered, "You are considerate."


    "What that old fox cares about the most is his face. He need to hide for a while because he was losing


    face this time. You can do your work without disturbance.


    Byron nced at the man beside him. He walked up the mountain and observed the situation around


    him carefully.


    The road was not t at all.


    Byron took two steps and cursed in silence. He wanted to quit.


    Maverick suddenly said, "Don''t talkter. He should be here. Do you know about this area?"


    "Why do I know about this ce!"


    Maverick said, "It will be more dangerous if there are cliffs. I asked you to help me investigate the


    information about Jack these years. Do you have any news?"


    "Damn it, do you still need me to help you investigate an American? Why don''t you use the force from


    Italy?"


    "I don''t want to be involved anymore."


    "So you give your private mercenaries to Amos?" Mr. Byron looked indignant, "He shouldn''t have had


    the private mercenaries."


    "I would like to move all of my forces here. I wouldn''t have gone there if my mother could leave Italy."


    "Then you will give your Lamont Group to Zane?"


    Maverick smiled, "There is no such word in my life dictionary. If he is really capable, I don''t mind


    ying with him."


    Byron smiled meaningfully, "This is the Maverick I know, but I..."


    "Silent."


    Maverick suddenly made a gesture of silence. Then he shook his head and interrupted Byron.


    He had been in the special forces.


    Byron knew that Maverick was absolutely first-ss in surveying after running his business for many


    years.


    The surroundings suddenly became quiet.


    Although Byron was usually very talkative, he focused on the crucial moment.


    They felt too silent when they stop talking at the top of the mountain. The only sound that could be


    heard was that the wind passing by their ears.


    Maverick''s hair in front of his forehead was blown up by the wind, but it could not hide the sharpness in


    his eyes.


    He was standing right in the middle of the mountain peak, and he could observe everything around


    him.


    Byron stood on the side and looked around with Maverick. He could not feel anything. He noticed that


    Maverick''s attention was focused.


    After about two minutes, Byron finally couldn''t take it anymore. He gently tugged at Maverick''s sleeve.


    Just as he was about to say something, he heard Maverick take a step faster than him. He faced the


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    northwest and said in a deep voice, "I know you are here. I have found you. It is not good for you to be


    here. I promise you that as long as you give me the child, I will let you leave safely."


    Byron thought, "What the hell is going on? Is one person there?"


    He also thought, "There is nothing to hide. There is indeed a slope. If there is really someone lying


    there, it should not be able to be seen, right?"


    He didn''t believe it.


    He turned to look at Maverick, "Are you sure that you are not talking to the air?"


    Maverick was almost certain that Jack was behind the slope in the northwest direction.


    He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He''s here and didn''t jump off the cliff. He doesn''t want to die. He


    even hid with Edmond and waited for me to take the initiative to speak. I''ll give him a chance and he''ll


    "Maverick, do you have a 100% chance of winning this psychological battle?"


    "80%." Maverick seemed to answer seriously, "The remaining 20% may need the help of Everly."


    Everly...


    Byron was a man who changed girlfriends faster than changing clothes. He could not understand


    Maverick who wasn''t so into women. Maverick was a man who can get anything he wanted. He looked


    for the woman seriously. They experienced a lot. Maverick could bear all of his news and incidents. He


    was so into Everly.


    Now he called Everly intimately...


    Byron could only feel goosebumps all over his body.


    Maverick did not care what Byron was thinking. He thought there could not be the slightest difference.


    He said, "Jack, Everly is on her way here. You were the one who personally delivered Edmond back


    then, right? As an attending doctor for Everly, I believe that you always treat your patients as your best


    friends or rtives."


    Maverick spoke in fluent English and continued, "If you are in trouble, I will help you. But you can''t hurt


    the person who you brought to the world."


    Byron felt that his surroundings were still empty.


    He elbowed Maverick and whispered, "I think I can get all my subordinates toe up, he can''t


    escape."


    Maverick shook his head.


    "Everly hasn''t been sleeping well these past few days. She told me that you have always reminded her


    what she should pay attention to. However, she said that she was too stupid to figure out what you


    mean. Jack, why don''t you talk to me face to face? The child is innocent, and you have worked in


    Doctors Without Borders. I believe that you are a kind person."

 Chapter 205 Everly Is Innocent

    Chapter 205 Everly Is Innocent


    Byron knew that Maverick wanted to impress Jack with emotion.


    It turned out that Maverick had collected a lot of information about Jack beforeing here.


    Therefore, the person that Byron admired the most in his life was Maverick.


    Maverick had suffered a lot, and to this day, no one can do so well like him.


    He said, "I know you took Edmond away to protect him. If you want to hurt him, you don''t have to wait


    until today. You cannot solve the root of the problem. I can help you, Jack. I will not have any


    Byron thought, ''Well done. Act tough and talk softly.''


    Byron estimated that this American dude would not be able to hold on for long. After all, it was true that


    there was no other choice.


    There was a man behind the small slope.


    Jack had a serious expression.


    He had heard everything that Maverick said. It was difficult for him to make a decision.


    After being chased for a long time and living a life of hiding, Jack had already lost trust in the people


    around him. He looked down at Edmond who had been knocked unconscious by him. He seemed to


    have thought for a long time.


    That''s right. He delivered the baby himself. Deep down in his heart, there were still flowing with the


    spirit of being a doctor and people-oriented.


    For such a long time, he had always regretted the decision he had made back then, even if he had no


    choice at that time.


    Perhaps, this was all retribution.


    The indignation in Jack''s heart seemed to be slowly eliminated under his selffort.


    After ten minutes of stalemate, Jack finally moved his body. Then, he carried Edmond and stood up


    from the slope.


    Byron saw Jacking out from the back of the slope, holding a child in his arms, and the child


    fainted.


    He elbowed Maverick and said, "Well, he is persuaded by you. Do I need to let someonee up?"


    Just as Maverick was about to say something, there was a dull sound in the air.


    His brain tightened at the same time.


    In fact, Maverick discovered the sound of a silenced sniper rifle at the first moment. No one knew


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    where the shot was fired. This ce was too empty, surrounded by hills.


    Maverick realized that something was wrong. When Byron instinctively wanted to lie down, Maverick


    held his breath and rushed to Jack.


    That was right.


    The person who was shot was Jack, but Edmond was still in Jack''s arms. The shot did not hit the vital


    point. Jack vomited blood and slowly fell to the ground.


    When Maverick rushed over, the first thing he did was to hold his son in his arms and protect him.


    "Jack?" Maverick called him, only to find that the bullet had hit his abdomen, so he was bleeding.


    He immediately turned to look at Byron. "Hurry up! Take him away!"


    Byron had been pampered since he was young. He was different from Maverick. He was not familiar


    with these gunfights. At this moment, he was shocked, but his reaction was quick. He quickly stood up


    and ran over.


    Maverick immediately gave Edmond to Byron, "Take Edmond down first and let the people below go to


    the opposite hill as soon as possible. Someone wants to kill Jack."


    "Then you..."


    "I will be fine!" Maverick said calmly, "Help me take care of my son. I will be grateful to you for the rest


    of my life,"


    The corners of Byron''s mouth twitched. At this moment, he felt that he wasden with heavy


    responsibility.


    Byron knew that at this critical juncture, Maverick would rather let him have an ident than let the


    child have an ident. So he did not waste any more time and carried Edmond to the foot of the


    mountain.


    Maverick was notpletely at ease, but at this time, he had no choice. He could sure that the person


    who just shot was aimed at Jack. The others were safe for the time being.


    Maverick asked, "How are you?"


    Maverick checked the wound on his abdomen. The blood flow was veryrge. Even if he was not sent


    to a hospital, his life would be in danger.


    Jack closed his eyes and said nothing.


    Maverick seemed to understand something. He frowned, "Do you know something? Who just shot


    you? Do you know?"


    Jack was still indifferent.


    Maverick was even more certain, "You know that someone has been chasing you, so you hid in China.


    Who are these people? Is it rted to me?"


    He thought this idea was terrible. But it was very reasonable. He had never seen Jack. None of the


    other possibilities were enough to make him get involved with Jack.


    Maverick wondered, ''Unless it is the power of Italy.''


    ''But what is the bond between them?''


    "Jack?" Maverick took a deep breath and was about to say something, but found that there was a red


    dot on the back of Jack''s head.


    That was the aiming point of the sniper rifle.


    Maverick thought, ''That man is so arrogant!''


    It seemed that the shot just now was intentional.


    ''But now, he is warning me that he can take Jack''s life at any time.''


    Maverick''s eyes instantly turned cold and looked at Jack, "If you are not willing to say anything, I can


    also find a way to investigate. But now, if you still want to live, listen to me and do it, okay?"


    The man whose breath was extremely weak finally opened his eyes.


    Despair flowed in those deep blue eyes.


    Maverick''s heart tightened.


    Jack opened his mouth at this time, and his voice was extremely weak, "I don''t want to live anymore,


    I''m especially tired. I''ve been hiding all the time. I thought I could do it. It seems that I was too naive.


    Their power is too great. They can kill me at any time. Maverick, you have to protect Everly. She is the


    most innocent person. Also, when I was a doctor at MD Zender Hospital, I delivered the baby, but at


    that time, she was pregnant..."


    Maverick heard a noise.


    There was another gunshot.


    Even the silencer gun could be heard.


    They were very close. The moment Jack was shot, hot blood spilled.


    Maverick''s pupils contracted.


    He watched helplessly as Jack fell in front of him, with no chance of survival.


    His world was full of the smell of blood.


    However, Maverick did not show any fear. He only became more and more certain that this person was


    doing it on purpose.


    He thought, ''That person may be able to read lips, so he knows what Jack is talking about. And what


    was Jack''sst sentence that didn''t have time to say?''


    ''ying with me, right?''

 Chapter 206 The Backstage Manipulator

    Chapter 206 The Backstage Maniptor


    There was an ancient castle in Italy with a history of over a hundred years.


    Even at night, it was still bright.


    In the study, a tall man sat by the window. The door of the study was knocked at this time. The man


    was still holding half a cigar in his hand. Hearing the sound of high heels knocking on the floor, he


    subconsciously frowned.


    He heard a slightly sharp female voice behind him. "Brother, did you do it on purpose? You know that I


    hate that man. Do you want me to marry him? Oh, no! I absolutely can''t ept it! It''s so unappetizing!"


    As soon as Pira came in, she was full ofints.


    Aonzo was formerly the elder brother of the Kamo family. At that time, the patriarch of the Kamo family


    was their father. But now it is divided into two groups of forces.


    Most of the forces of the Kamo family have been upied by Amor.


    In the past, Maverick controlled private mercenaries. However, Maverick might want topletely get


    rid of the rtions in Italy. He has received the news that private mercenaries will be taken over by


    Amor.


    Naturally, this was uneptable for Aonzo.


    At that time, he would not have any chips in hand.


    He wanted to get a marriage alliance to help him consolidate a certain power, but Pira didn''t cooperate


    with this.


    There were three children in his family. Pira and Aonzo were born to the same mother.


    Amos was born to his father''s second wife of the East.


    Their father loved eastern. So they all had half of the blood of the Eastern people. They were mixed


    blood.


    Aonzo said impatiently, "You should know what''s going on right now. Couldn''t you bear it?" If it weren''t


    for the fact that she had some use for him now, he didn''t want to give her unlimited cards every month.


    Aonzo added, "You should think about your situation when you spend money. You have to understand


    that if I am defeated by Amor, you will not be treated well. So, you have to seize the opportunity."


    Pira said, "Why must I choose that man? I can handle Maverick!"


    "Are you sure?" Aonzo was full of disdain. "In the past, when Maverick was still under the control of our


    family, you couldn''t deal with him. Now you say that you can handle him?" Pira, you have grown up.


    Don''t let me worry about you."


    "Brother!"


    "Honey, be good. It''s just a business. You can kill him after getting his help. Anyway, you often do this


    kind of thing."


    Killing people seemed to be as simple as amon urrence among them.


    Pira said disgustingly, "But I don''t want to bear it for a day."


    Aonzo''s eyes narrowed. "It''s enough! I still have something to do. If you just want to act coquettishly


    with me, I think you can use this on that man. Pira, I have investigated. Apart from being a little


    perverted in bed, he should be pretty good. Besides, aren''t you very fond of being perverted in bed?"


    Pira said with a snort, "Brother, you''ve gone too far."


    Aonzo replied, "There is a saying in Chinese. Faithful words offend the ear but are good for improving


    one''s conduct."


    "This doesn''t match."


    "I don''t have the time to chat with you."


    Aonzo was driving her away. Pira knew that she couldn''t bear his angry.


    Amor was crazy. Aonzo was sinister and cunning.


    The three siblings didn''t trust each other. They were using each other.


    Stop at the right time. Pira knew her brother. To make her obedient, Aonzo would ask his assistant to


    send her a gold card after she left.


    Pira left quickly.


    However, before she left the study, Aonzo said, "You can visit Kailey frequently. Although she hates you


    very much, you have to remind her, understand?"


    "OK."


    After Pira left, Aonzo picked up thendline on the side.


    As soon as the call connected, the person on the other side said directly, "Sir, everything has been


    done."


    "Well, have you left the evidence?"


    "Yes."


    "Well done. From now on, go to the Philippines and stay for half a year. I will arrange everything for


    your family. You are not allowed to return without my instructions."


    "Yes."


    After hanging up the phone, an arrogant smile shed across the face of Aonzo.


    He thought of something and took out a document from the drawer. There were a few bright words on


    it.


    It was the MD Zender Hospital.


    He smiled mysteriously, and a hint of coldness shed through his eyes.


    Aonzo thought, ''Maverick, you took everything from me back then, and now, our battle officially begins.''


    ''You did a lot for the enmity of the Waller family, and you returned to City C. Do you think it''s over?''


    ''No, that is just the dish before the meal.''


    ''I will make you pay back ten times.''


    Aonzo locked the document in the drawer and took out a brand-new phone. After opening it, the battery


    was full. This phone was rarely used, but it was turned on 24 hours a day.


    There were unread messages on it.


    He clicked a message and began to check it.


    Zane: [This time, Maverick did not lose his rights in the Lamont Group. I can''t wait any longer. If you


    can''t cooperate with me, I will take care of everything myself. ]


    A cold and disdainful expression appeared on Aonzo''s face.


    He thought, ''Maverick is nobody. To consolidate my power, I established contact with Maverick back


    then. Otherwise, I won''t cooperate with him at all. In addition, Maverick is more suitable to be my


    ''But now, I have arranged everything. Next, I could let Zane ''stir things up''.''


    ...


    It was just nightfall in City C.


    When Everly got off the ne, she had already heard thetest and most shocking news.


    Jack was dead.


    She could not believe it at all. Although there was good news that Edmond had been safely rescued


    and it was indeed brought away by Jack. Lucky, Edmond was fine.


    Everly thought that Edmond wouldn''t be scared by Jack.


    She was shocked by Jack''s death.


    Everly wanted to contact Maverick but only to be told that he was now in the police station.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Byron came to pick up Everly. To be honest, it was the first time they met each other. Byron tried his


    best to make the atmosphere lighter, so he smiled and said, "Maverick is a good legal citizen. It''s


    normal to make a transcript. Miss Everly, don''t worry, he will be back soon."

 Chapter 207 She Is Mavericks Girlfriend!

    Chapter 207 She Is Maverick''s Girlfriend!


    Everly still had no idea what''s going on. Now she heard that Jack was dead. She really couldn''t ept


    it. He used to be very close with her for the past five years.


    She was so grieving but could not shed a single tear.


    She felt so oppressed. It''s like there was a huge rock stuck in her chest. She was awfully suffocating.


    How did it happen after all?


    Everly even had a hunch that Jack''s sudden death might have something to do with her.


    She wasn''t a pessimistic person. Perhaps she shouldn''t be too kind. She always felt that something


    bad happened to others was rted to her.


    First, it was Sarah, then Jack.


    They both died. She always felt that this was a trap. And she was the bait. Even if these people died


    not because of her, it had something to do with her.


    She suddenly felt chilled, a freezing coldness.


    ''When I was in America, it was a hard time. He always gave a hand to me. He was a good and gentle


    doctor. He was always pleasant to others. You would always feel at ease with him...'' Everly thought.


    Perhaps it''s quitemon to have a chat with him in the past. However, when you suddenly lost him


    and everything changed. Those ordinary stuff was actually the most precious.


    He was dead!


    Byron noticed that Maverick''s face was extremely pale and his body was still a little stiff.


    Byron murmured to himself, "We''re in trouble now."


    When investigating Jack, Byron probably had already known that he was a bosom friend to Everly in


    America. They used to be couples. If Everly hadn''t married Jack and obtained the Permanent Resident


    Card, she wouldn''t have given birth to Edmond in such a messy American hospital.


    Now that her bosom friend suddenly passed away in China, it must be a fatal blow to her.


    Besides, Maverick cared about Everly so much. Byron couldn''t help flinging himself into it.


    "Miss Everly, are you alright? You look pale. Why not sit down and have a rest for a while?"


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Byron picked her up in person. His car was in the parking lot. Now they were at the exit of the airport.


    Everly should have read some news on the airne. Someone was suddenly killed at the top of the


    mountain and the celebrated Byron and Maverick were both involved into it. Those media exposed the


    news immediately. Byron tried to prevent it at the first time. But it was such breaking news, there were


    still some reports on the Inte.


    Everly read the news, then she knew about it.


    The moment she got off the ne, she instantly asked him about the ident. Byron decided to tell her


    the truth.


    He was worried that she wouldn''t bear it in such a short time. So he thought for a while and said, "Why


    don''t you wait for a while? I''ll get the car. Then let''s talk about it."


    "It doesn''t matter. I''m fine. Could you take me to the police station?" Everly, who had been trembling


    just now, looked determined and calm.


    It seemed that something had juste to her mind, then she shook her head. "Hum, is Edmond with


    you? I want to see him first."


    Byron immediately overruled what he had just thought. She was calm and determined?


    Absolutely not! She was hiding her true feelings.


    She must be very anxious now.


    No wonder Maverick liked her so much. In fact, at first nce, she was verymon. But she was


    indeed quite charming when you got to know more about her.


    It''s hard to tell, but she was exactly a little different.


    "Yes, Edmond is with me. I''ve asked someone to take good care of him. He is fine. Think about it


    clearly. Whoever you want to see first, I will take you there."


    Everly suddenly lowered her eyes, as if she was talking to herself, "... I know that he will be fine. Jack


    liked him very much and would never hurt him."


    "I want to see Edmond first. Thank you very much, Byron," she said, raising her head.


    Seeing how helpless and shocked she was, he couldn''t help pitying on her.


    So he tried to chat with her several times to cheer her up. But when he noticed the sorrows revealed on


    her face, which she tried to suppress, Byron chose to remain silent.


    Forget it. Let Maverickfort her afterwards.


    When they arrived at the Puth family, Everly believed that Byron was indeed rich.


    In fact, she was not in the mood to guess his identity. Moreover, this was the Puth family of Lunfield.


    She had a vague impression of it. They were of higher rank and quite nobler. Their mansion was even


    guarded by someone. Edmond was definitely safe here.


    When Byron entered, all the guards saluted him.


    Everly followed him and arrived at the main hall. She saw a grey-haired old man sitting on the sofa in


    the living room.


    It seemed that he was over seventy years old. But his eyes were very bright and full of energy. When


    he saw Byron, he raised the cane in his hand and tried to rush over.


    Byron moved swiftly and dodged to the side.


    It was only then that Levi saw Everly. He had no time to react and it was quite embarrassing with his


    aggressive look.


    "You brought your girlfriend home? Why didn''t you tell me in advance?"


    Levi sounded a little angry, but he kept gazing at Everly. After that, he seemed to be very satisfied and


    immediately changed his tone, "Miss, I''m his grandpa. Sorry, did I scare you just now? You are the first


    girl he brought home..."


    "Grandpa, this is Maverick''s girlfriend. Stop talking nonsense. If you keep saying like that, see what


    Maverick will do."


    Levi was stunned for a moment. A trace of disappointment appeared on his aged face. Then, he said,


    "Well, you are Maverick''s girlfriend..."


    He sounded extremely disappointed. Then, he red at his Byron and snapped, "Don''t you have any


    sense of crisis? Maverick already has his girlfriend. What are you doing? You are being sloppy all day


    long. Are you feeling ashamed of yourself for causing such a big trouble?"


    Byron cried out, "It''s all about Maverick. What does it have to do with me?"


    "You even couldn''t handle it well in Lunfield?"


    Byron, "..."


    Everly could tell that they were talking about Jack, and she felt even more guilty. Just as she was about


    to say something, a childish voice came from the stairs.


    "Mummy! Mummy!"

 Chapter 208 Mr. Byron, Who Had Witnessed PDA

    Chapter 208 Mr. Byron, Who Had Witnessed PDA


    Everly felt a burst of bitterness in her heart as if she had been holding back her tears for a long time,


    and she burst out crying immediately.


    When she looked over, she saw his son, whom she had not seen for a few days, standing at the


    entrance of the stairs.


    When Byron brought Edmond back, Edmond had been in aa and had never changed his clothes.


    Now Everly saw him, and he still wore the same clothes he wore when shest saw him.


    He was shabby.


    There were still some stains on Edmond''s face, and his eyes were a little swollen.


    Everly was extremely distressed. When Edmond ran over to her, she hurriedly reached out and hugged


    her son.


    "Mom, I miss you." Edmond sobbed.


    After all, he was still a child. At this moment, hepletely showed his helplessness and panic, lying in


    Everly''s arms and hugging her tightly.


    Everly''s heart was in pain. After a while, she choked up, "It''s Mom who didn''t take good care of


    Edmond. Baby, it''s okay. It''s okay. Mom will take good care of you in the future and won''t let anything


    happen to you again."


    Edmond burst into tears and wet Everly''s cor.


    The mother and son yed a y of reunion.


    Levi and Byron, who were "watching the y" in the living room, had their own thoughts.


    For a man like Byron who insisted on not marrying, who changed woman frequently, he naturally would


    not feel the same way.


    But Levi was different.


    How long had he thought about having a grandson?


    He had just returned and didn''t know that there was such a cute child hiding upstairs. How good would


    it be if his grandson brought the child back?


    After all, his girlfriend was Maverick''s, and this child was most likely also Maverick''s.


    Levi felt sad. He was already so old. His grandson was clearly at the same age as Maverick. Compared


    with Maverick, Byron was really disappointing.


    ...


    Byron seemed to feel the deep disdain from Levi.


    He coughed lightly, and only after a long while did he manage to save his dignity. "It''s Miss Everly''s


    son. As for whether he is Maverick''s son, this... I''m not too sure."


    "So what? If you can have such a cute great-grandson. I''ll give you whatever you want," he said in a


    low voice. Levi naturally heard it. He still snorted coldly.


    "Grandpa..."


    "Don''t call me. I can''t stand it anymore. The more I see him, the more I like him. Unfortunately, he was


    not born in the Puth family." Levi sighed.


    Byron fell silent.


    ...


    Not long after staying in the Puth family, Everly could now confirm that her son was safe and intact, but


    Edmond asked immediately, "How is Uncle Jack? I feel that he has changed a lot. I almost couldn''t


    recognize him. But Mom, Uncle Jack didn''t hurt me, either. He has always been saying that he was


    trying to protect me."


    Everly carefully asked Edmond about the incident. After confirming that he was not affected by it


    physically and mentally, she heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, he did not dare to tell the child that Uncle Jack had died.


    Death was a terrifying word that even Everly could not ept, let alone Edmond.


    Maverick had settled everything in the police station. When he came out, he saw Everly wear a white


    shirt and light blue jeans. She had her arms around her chest and looked helpless. She stood at the


    door, waiting for him.


    "Maverick."


    As soon as Everly saw Mavericking out, she ran towards him.


    The man''s broad chest seemed to be able to give her a powerfulfort at this time.


    She could not believe that Jack had died just like that. Now that Maverick was holding her in his arms,


    Everly could not help but cry, "... How did he die? I can''t believe it."


    Maverick reached out to smooth her hair and said in a gentle tone, "Get in the car first. It''s not


    convenient to talk here. I''ll tell you when you get in the car, okay?"


    Everly nodded. She almost got in the car with Maverick''s half hug.


    They were still in Lunfield, so it was Mr. Byron who personally treated them. Mr. Byron was very


    considerate and even drove the car personally.


    He had witnessed PDA in the air.


    Through the window, he could see the two kissing each other. The sour smell of love filled the air.


    Although he had closed the window, he could still felt it.


    Not to mention now, in the narrow space, the two were already flirting with each other on the back seat.


    When Byron was driving, he looked at Maverick in the rearview mirror several times.


    To tell the truth, Byron felt that he should check his eyes.


    Was Maverick, who was as tender as water, really the one that he knew?


    Didn''t he always show many emotions on his cold face?


    Moreover, the way he hugged a woman was extremely gentle as if he was holding a national treasure


    in case it would break. He was so careful.


    Damn it, Byron felt that his values had been changed.


    Maverick... was this man Maverick?


    However, there was another fact that shocked him even more, and it was Maverick who was speaking.


    He was constantly coaxing the woman who was shedding tears, calling her darling, without caring


    about anything.


    He was still alive?


    When had he ever seen Maverick be so patient?


    Didn''t he think that it was most troublesome when women cried? But now he had changed.


    Byron felt that he couldn''t continue watching. He almost didn''t know Maverick, but he finally silently


    raised the soundproof ss.


    "For now, I am notpletely sure whether all the details are different from what I think, but Jack


    should know that he is destined to death this time." Maverick tried tomunicate with Everly with soft


    words as much as possible, "He has been hiding for a long time, you know?"


    Everly sniffed. "I probably know a little. I might not care too much about him. In fact, when he came to


    City C toe to me and settled our divorce procedures, I should have noticed that he was somewhat


    weird when he handed the divorce certificate to me."


    She paused for a moment before continuing, "At that time, I always felt that it was weird for him to talk


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    to me. I didn''t expect that it was because he was in trouble. Was it because of me?"


    Maverick pinched her finger and whispered, "No, if I''m not wrong, it should be because of me."


    "You?"


    "I''ve assigned people to investigate it. Some Italian forces have investigated Jack. This time, they could


    kill him right under my watch. It must be the forces."


    "Italy... Italy again, Maverick. What exactly happened in the past? You refused to tell me anything. I feel


    very uneasy." Everly was terrified when heard that.


    Maverick: "Baby, why wouldn''t I tell you? Before, I thought it was not the right time, and it was


    unnecessary. If you want to know, I will tell you everything, but you are in bad mood now. Take a rest


    first, okay? Let''s take our son back to City C first."

 Chapter 209 Another Way to Make Her Fall Asleep

    Chapter 209 Another Way to Make Her Fall Asleep


    Maverick considered returning to City C first because Mr. Parrish must be very worried about Edmond.


    More importantly, Jack had died in Lunfield, and Everly had been staying here all the time, which would


    definitely affect her.


    In fact, Maverick just wanted them to stay away from these disputes.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Even though he knew that it was impossible.


    But Jack''s death was still a blow to Everly.


    Everly did not rest well these days. Maverick first asked Byron to drive them to the hotel. Mr. Byron said


    that they could live in any property in the Puth family, but Maverick refused.


    "We''ll leave tomorrow at the earliest. it won''t trouble you too much. As for Edmond, please send him


    over."


    Byron did not force him.


    After sending them to the best hotel in Lunfield, he arranged everything. When he left, he said to


    Maverick, "In fact, you are still living in my territory. This hotel belongs to the Puth family."


    Maverick did not reply to him, but as for the incident, he was still very grateful to him. He just told Byron


    that there would be a lot of problems in the future that Byron needed to deal with.


    Byron smiled and patted Maverick''s shoulder, said seriously, "In fact, this ident happened in


    Lunfield. I have some responsibility. I didn''t help you to control the situation well in my own territory. It''s


    too much for you to thank me."


    "We can''t look down on the forces of Italy. I am not sure who did this. I will investigate it as soon as


    possible. In these days, please cooperate with the police here and do the follow-up."


    "Don''t worry, I will." Byron nodded.


    After Byron left, Maverick entered the room and found Everly sitting on the sofa with her head hidden in


    her knees, looking weak and helpless.


    "What''s wrong? Do you still feel ufortable?" he asked, tugging at his cor and walking forward


    with light steps. He then pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the rim of her eyebrows.


    Everly shook her head and said gloomily, "I am thinking about something."


    "What?"


    "Jack told me several times before that I should not casually admit that I have a child with others. I


    never understood why. Now he suddenly died, I wondered if it had something to do with Edmond."


    Maverick asked, "Why do you think that way?"


    "I have never offended anyone before. When we were in America, I thought that he was very normal.


    He was abnormal after I came back here, right? He reminded me several times. It was what he meant.


    He told me not to admit that I had a child. Now he suddenly died, didn''t it mean anything?"


    She didn''t know what the key to the problem was.


    In the past few hours, Everly had been in unstable mood, which was more violent than riding a roller


    coaster. And her head was in a mess.


    The only thing she could think of was this "circle". She did not seem to be able to grasp what was


    outside the circle.


    In fact, Maverick could have thought of what Everly could.


    Butpared to what he had thought, he thought it might be much moreplicated.


    Seeing how ufortable Everly was now, he was very distressed. He did not want to tell her too


    much about things that had not been confirmed. There were a lot of things involved, so he


    subconsciously reached out to help her massage her temples. He wanted to distract her attraction


    gradually.


    "Everly, no matter what the truth was, I will figure it out. Jack is already dead, so don''t me yourself


    anymore. It has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"


    Everly did not say anything.


    Maverick knew that she would be stubborn at this time, so he simply used his wrist to pick her up and


    let her sit on hisp. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her.


    Everly''s body was soft. When Maverick suddenly kissed her, she seemed to be stunned for a moment.


    Then, she groaned and seemed to want to struggle. Maverick held the back of her head and bit the rim


    of her mouth. He said in a low voice, "Can''t we do it now?"


    "... I, I don''t really want to..."


    "You can''t fall asleep. Do something that can make you sleep, and..." His hand reached in, and his tone


    was already tinged with obvious desire. "Baby, I miss you very much. I miss you very much."


    ...


    The feeling of losing something in his heart would make him want to have it especially.


    Maverick was domineering and did not give himself any other choice. Everly knew that she was also


    doomed.


    This time, the man was a bit violent. In the beginning, Everly could still react a little. But then, there was


    no room for anything else in her mind. Everything was under his control.


    But this man seemed to have endless energy in sex every time.


    In the end, she knew she could only ck out.


    Maverick also helped her bathe. Lying on the bed, she found it difficult to move her fingers. She


    probably heard the gentle voice of the hairdryer. He should be helping her dry the hair. Everly had no


    energy to think about anything else. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.


    Maverick was sure that she had fallen asleep. Only then did he put down the hairdryer in his hand and


    then covered her with the quilt. He checked the time and it was already midnight.


    Just now, Byron called him and said that Levi liked Edmond very much. Tonight, they were still


    watching cartoons together. Edmond''s mood was not affected, so Byron nned to send her tomorrow.


    In the end, Byron couldn''t help butin, "You had Everly give birth to Edmond five years ago. It


    was too unkind of you. When my grandpa saw Edmond, he would scold me. My life is even worse."


    Maverick only asked him to send Edmond over on time tomorrow and hung up.


    He went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette and waited until his phone rang again before he put out


    the cigarette and picked it up.


    Jayden was already in Italy, so he had gained something from this journey. "Mr. Lamont, there are


    indeed clues right now. That sniper was previously hired by the mercenaries under your management,


    but at that time, he seemed to have been rejected. This time, we can confirm that he personally went to


    Lunfield. Jack should have been killed by him."


    "Who ordered him?" Maverick frowned.


    Jayden said, "If there is no problem with his identity, then it might be Amor. But I feel that someone is


    deliberately guiding this clue. Moreover, the matter of Jack taking Edmond away was also a clue given


    by Amor. He should not be so stupid to do such a thing again."


    Maverick did not answer.


    Jayden added, "Previously, someone had specially gone to the MD Zender Hospital to investigate Jack.


    I had someone investigate him as well, but the result was rather unexpected. It wasn''t from Amos, nor


    was it from Aonzo."


    "Who is it?" Maverick.


    Jayden pondered for a moment before saying, "It''s Mrs. Lamont."

 Chapter 210 The Origin of Candy

    Chapter 210 The Origin of Candy


    Maverick was surprised.


    ''Is it my mother?''


    However, when he thought of the information Kailey had given him before, he repressed his doubts.


    ''There''s something beneath the surface of Jack''s death. What I can be sure of is that someone wanted


    to take Edmond away previously. Jack probably knew who that person was, so he stopped it and took


    Edmond away. He didn''t hurt Edmond, but it seemed to remind him that everything he experienced was


    rted to Edmond.'' In the end, Maverick talked to himself, "Candy and Edmond were both born in MD


    Zender Hospital. Perhaps Jack knew something secret and was killed for that. The person behind all


    these things must know that I value all of this. He deliberately made Jack die in front of me without


    saying anything."


    Jayden asked, "Mr. Maverick, do you need me for something?"


    "Come back first."


    "What about Madam..."


    "I will contact her."


    "Yes."


    Jayden hung up the phone. Maverick threw the phone on the edge of the table. He held the railing and


    looked at the night sky with a calm gaze.


    ''Is it rted to the child?''


    ''Is there someone who knows that Edmond is my son all the time?''


    ''But what does it have to do with Everly giving birth to a child in MD Zender Hospital?''


    Candy was brought back from MD Zender Hospital.


    Maverick didn''t want to face the past full of bitterness that he was driven away with his mother at a


    young age, more reluctant to face the fact that Candy was born.


    He was unwilling to tell Everly because he couldn''t face it.


    At that time, his mother was not well, and he couldn''t give up easily.


    In this context, Kailey couldn''t die. The person in power of the Kamo family, Kailey''s admirer, Andrew


    forced him to have a child by artificial insemination and surrogacy.


    Candy was born to save Kailey.


    In those years, Candy was not well. Back then, Maverick didn''t know how he managed to persevere.


    He could only see Candy once a month. Although he didn''t love Candy''s mother, Candy was his


    daughter. He didn''t even know who the surrogate mother was.


    He tried to get rid of the Kamo family and took Candy away out of guilt.


    After Andrew passed away, his sons turned against each other for the family property.


    But Andrew had transferred power to Maverick before with conditions.


    At that time, Andrew with an oxygen tube was dying, but he still had confidence in controlling the whole


    situation.


    Andrew was dying, but he looked purposed and self-assured. Maverick thought that he would never


    forget that.


    In Maverick''s life, he hated Andrew, but he also worshipped Andrew.


    He still remembered what Andrew had said at the very end.


    "I love your mother very much. Maybe no one can understand it, but I know what I want. Just as an old


    Chinese saying goes, love me, love my dog. I appreciate you. If you are my son, I will feel no regrets if I


    die now. As you can see, if my two good-for-nothing sons take over this family, it won''tst more than


    five years. So, Maverick, it''s time for you to repay me. You can bnce them. Your mother must stay in


    Italy. You can take your child away. I promise you that as long as you agree, no one can interfere with


    anything about that little girl in the future. You know I''m a man of my word. If you agree, you can take


    the child away immediately."


    ...


    Maverick had no choice.


    It was just like that he had no choice whether he would have a child to save Kailey.


    That time, he also had no choice.


    Without hesitation, he took Candy away from Italy and returned to China.


    After that, some experts nursed Candy for a long time, so she could recover. In addition, Candy was


    still young and she had no idea what she had experienced.


    Maverick had never investigated that deeply.


    Things about Jack seemed to remind him of something.

    Maverick was not sure whether there was something in the hospital that he didn''t know about.


    He stood on the balcony for a long time and recalled a lot.


    Maverick returned to the room after midnight.


    Seeing the woman lying on the bed, Maverick softened.


    He went to take a shower before lying down, wishing he could get closer to Everly.


    Everly hadn''t had a good rest these days. She didn''t fall asleep until Maverick felt satisfied. She slept


    until the afternoon of the next day.


    Everly was woken up by Edmond.


    When Everly opened her eyes, she saw Edmond sitting by the bed. Everly felt as if she was dreaming


    and realized what happened after a while.


    She immediately hugged Edmond.


    Edmond said, "Mom, you are holding me too tightly. I''m fine. Don''t be afraid."


    After beingforted by Edmond, Everly couldn''t help butugh. "Who taught you this? You scared


    me. Do you still dare to go out at night?"


    "No, I will only go out with Dad and Mom. Dad said that he will protect me."


    Everly wanted to get up, but she was worried that something embarrassing would happen. However,


    after moving her body, she realized that she was thinking too much. Maverick had already helped her


    put on her clothes.


    Then she got up.


    Edmond said, "Dad just went downstairs and said that he had something to deal with. Mom, are you


    hungry? Let''s go down and eat."


    It was already afternoon. Everly was indeed hungry. She guessed that Edmond hadn''t eaten before.


    She immediately turned over and got out of bed. She went to wash up with her feeble legs. Then she


    went downstairs with Edmond.


    However, she didn''t expect to meet Alex and Den the moment she stepped out of the elevator.


    They were probably here for business, with several assistants standing beside. Everly knew that they


    had an issue with Maverick. It was awkward to meet them at the


    elevator. lightnoveldaily

    Chapter 211 My Father Will Not Let You Off


    Everly felt that no matter what happened between them and Maverick, it had nothing to do with her.


    In the past, she worked to deliver her son a better life. But now, she wanted to focus on drawing


    instead of the business.


    But Alex and Den didn''t think so.


    Alex and Den originally didn''t know of Everly.


    Many things about Maverick caused an uproar, which betrayed Everly by his side. Moreover, Alex''s two


    daughters had mentioned Everly many times in front of him.


    Alex had never seen Everly before.


    This time they happened to meet at the elevator.


    Den was not as shocked as Alex.


    Den came here for work, so he didn''t want to waste time.


    Alex had a grudge against Maverick. Seeing Everly with a child, he disdained them.


    Everly pulled Edmond to stand to the side. She didn''t want too much involvement. It was bad for


    Edmond to know that.


    But Alex didn''t think so.


    Den had entered the elevator while Alex was standing outside. He looked at Everly with disdain. It


    was unknown what he was thinking.


    Everly noticed his scorn.


    She was not a submissive person. On the contrary, her temper was not good.


    Everly thought they were funny. They were old, but they still wanted to bully her.


    Alex had problems in business, so he rolled his eyes when meeting Everly, which was impolite.


    Everly thought there was no need to say more, so she pulled Edmond and left.


    Alex greeted them, and the two bodyguards in ck immediately blocked Everly.


    Seeing that, Den raised his eyebrows and said, "Alex, I''ll wait for you upstairs."


    Alex didn''t speak.


    Then Den pressed the button to close the door and went up.


    However, when the elevator rose, Den immediately took out his phone, thought for a while, and


    called Maverick.


    To Den''s surprise, no one answered.


    He originally wanted to make mischief between them. However, Maverick didn''t answer the phone,


    which means he was ignored. Den thought that he had lost face and lost a lot of money during this


    period.


    Den was so angry.


    ''Maverick, you are shameless.''


    ''It''s only Lamont Group.''


    ''Zane is in Lamont Group.''


    ''Ingrate. Don''t me us for being ruthless to you.''


    ...


    Looking at the two tall and robust men blocking her way, Everly subconsciously protected her son


    behind her. Her eyes were vignt. "Mr. Alex, what do you want to do?"


    "Miss Everly? Is this your son?" Alex asked with indifference.


    "Mr. Alex, don''t beat about the bush. Pleasee to the point. I''m not familiar with you. Your behavior


    may cause misunderstandings." Everly paused for a moment and added, "Here is the public. Mr. Alex


    is somebody..."


    "Are you afraid?" Alex interrupted Everly and sneered. "I heard that you bullied my daughter. Now, are


    This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    you afraid in front of me?"


    "Mr. Alex, I didn''t bully your daughter."


    "How many years has my daughter been with Maverick? The young are consistent with the cast.


    Maverick is into you and dumped my daughter. How long do you think you can stay with him with a


    child? Now it seems that you won everything, but this is the beginning of your loss."


    Everly felt that this man was strange. He even said that Edmond was a burden!


    "Please respect!" My son is not a burden. I''m different from you. You only care about your interests.


    Moreover, what I do has nothing to do with you.


    You''d better discipline your daughters in case they cause troubles one day."


    That was very impolite.


    Alex was a snake person.


    Having encountered setbacks because of Maverick, he wanted to vent his anger on Everly.


    However, he didn''t expect that Everly was eloquent and came to the point. Alex immediately flew into a


    rage.


    His face darkened. "Everly, don''t be proud because you have Maverick backing you. Maverick will fall


    off a cliff one day."


    "Thank you for your advice, but I don''t care."


    "You don''t care? You are just interested in his money. I heard that you had an older brother who does


    business from scratch. Now you leaned on a moneybag. Are you good in bed?"


    Everly''s eyes were cold as she reached out to cover Edmond''s ears.


    But unexpectedly, Edmond moved faster than Everly. He hid behind Everly, and he noticed that this old


    man had been humiliating his mother all along.


    Without a word, Edmond jumped out. He kicked towards Alex''s thigh.


    No one expected that.


    Alex didn''t expect that. Although Edmond was not strong, Alex shook and sprained his ankle out of


    scare.


    The two bodyguards were shocked and quickly went to support Alex.


    "Sir, are you alright?"


    Edmond pointed at Alex andughed. "You can hardly stand and you still dare to humiliate my mother.


    If you want to bully my mother, you have to ask me first! You are so old. Can''t you talk politely? Dad


    taught me that this is called uneducated and you will pay for it!"


    ...


    Everly pulled Edmond back and said in a low voice, "Edmond, go to find Dad."


    She was worried that Alex would harm them due to rage.


    Everly was right. When Alex heard that, his face darkened. "Like father, like son. You dare to shout at


    me! Since you attacked me, no one can leave!" lightnoveldaily

 Chapter 212 Something About Your Mother

    Chapter 212 Something About Your Mother


    Everly felt very ufortable listening to those words.


    She thought, ''A sessful businessman, middle-aged man, don''t know how to respect people at all.''


    ''You lost to Maverick. Is that the reason why you harm me and my son?''


    She was really angry.


    "We won''t leave."


    Everly was confident. She had a strong character and was not afraid at all. Edmond was insulted.


    Everly wouldn''t let the matter go.


    She took out her phone and pressed the bottom.


    "Like father, like son. You dare to shout at me!"


    Everly recorded what Alex had said, and omitted thest sentence.


    She sneered, "Mr. Alex, you are a person of status. I don''t understand why you are targeting me and


    my son. We haven''t offended you before, but you are insulting us. I believe you will feel ashamed if you


    were to be sued, right? I feel that the people of the Kahl family all have amon characteristic, that


    is, you won''t feel ashamed."


    Alex didn''t expect her to dare to record.


    He immediately grabbed the phone.


    Everly''s heart sank. She wanted to protect her son while protecting her phone. When they fought,


    Everly was pushed into a wall and her forehead hurt.


    Edmond shouted, "Mom, do you hurt?"


    His face was full of anger. He pointed at Alex and said, "You bad guy! You bully my mother. My father


    will not let you go!"


    Alex sneered, "You are just a burden. Maverick is not your father. The Lamont family won''t ept you."


    Everly was so angry that her head hurt.


    Edmond retorted loudly, "It''s my father! You''re a bad guy. I hate you. I will tell my father that you bullied


    my mother."


    "Silence him and bring them upstairs. Then get the hotel staff to offer the surveince tape. I wonder


    how Maverick will exin this to me!"


    Everly wanted to call Maverick, but the two bodyguards pped her. The phone fell to the ground, and


    her wrist was hurt.


    It hurt a lot.


    ...


    Maverick went downstairs early.


    After answering the call, he went out again and saw Den standing outside.


    Maverick frowned. He knew that Den had contacted him just now, but he didn''t expect that Den


    knew which room he lived in.


    "Maverick, you are more and more able now. You even didn''t answer my phone." Den hid a dagger


    behind his smiles.


    "I''m sorry. I didn''t check the phone just now. I was about to call you back."


    "No. I''m already here. Why don''t we sit down and have a chat?"


    Maverick looked at his watch, looking a little embarrassed. "Sorry, can we talkter? I have something


    to do now."


    "What worried you so much?" Den knew that Alex wouldn''t let Everly and Edmond off.


    Den originally wanted to tell Maverick, but he didn''t know good from the bad. The more time he


    wasted, the more pain they would suffer. And that would make the rtionship between Alex and


    Maverick worse.


    Alex said with false enthusiasm, "Maverick, I knew that you met some troubles in Lunfield. We have


    done business for years. We''d better avoid infighting caused by outsiders, right? Don''t worry. I support


    you."


    Maverick said calmly, "Thank you, Uncle Den."


    "You''re wee. I know that some people of Lamont Group are supporting Zane now. What can he do


    with a bag leg? I support you."


    "Uncle Den, you are not a shareholder of Lamont Group. I ept your emotional support."


    "Don''t speak too soon. Your father had been in charge of thepany for a while. At that time, he was


    short of money and asked me for help. Do you know that there are some odd lots outside? I can help


    you."


    Maverick reached out to fiddle with his sleeve and raised his eyebrows. "Thank you. If I can''t handle


    this, I can''t control the entire Lamont Group. Did youe to Lunfield because you were set upst


    time? Uncle Den, one must yield to age."


    Den was refuted and his face changed greatly.


    He said, "It was Alex who had been set up.


    "


    Maverick seemed to understand and said, "I''m sorry. I''m mistaken. You seemed to be got yed in


    Italy. Uncle Den, you should tell me earlier. After all, I lived in Italy for some time. If there is anything,


    I can help you."


    Den felt so embarrassed.


    Den looked dreadful. He paused for a long time and then forced a sentence, "Maverick, you are too


    arrogant now!"


    "No. I''m just telling the truth. One should act ording to his ability."


    "How dare you look down on me?"


    "You are elder. I''m ttered."


    "One who can give up anything for a woman can''t be considered a sessful person. Didn''t you do so


    much just for the Waller family?" Den became confident when mentioning that. In fact, they had


    never mentioned those things, nor did they dare to mention that. But now, Den lost his mind


    because of being humiliated. He spoke angrily, "What''s the point of you doing so much? Your mother


    was stupid. It was love that defeated her. You two are alike. Maverick, your mother was bullied by many


    people. No matter how much you do, you can''t change it. You..."

    Before Den stopped, he felt almost suffocated.


    Den staggered. He was raised high and then fell fiercely with pain in his back.


    Then he was pushed against the wall.


    Maverick looked fierce, and his eyes were cold.


    He didn''t know how cruel he could be.


    He had experienced too much when he was a child, so he couldn''t be innocent.


    Maverick had done and seen many sinful things except to kill people and set fires in person.


    Den was not afraid of death, daring to say that in front of Maverick. Maverick was so


    angry. lightnoveldaily
