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 are complicated?"
Hendrix pressed his eyebrows, "How should I put it? You know that the Lamont family is in a
complicated situation now. In fact, after Maverick took down the company, he has been preparing to
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.
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 place."
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, slander, 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 uncomfortable 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?" Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"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 become 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 manipulate 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 slandered 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."
