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 Declan didn't think so.
Alex and Declan 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.
Declan was not as shocked as Alex.
Declan 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.
Declan 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 black immediately blocked Everly.
Seeing that, Declan raised his eyebrows and said, "Alex, I'll wait for you upstairs."
Alex didn't speak.
Then Declan pressed the button to close the door and went up.
However, when the elevator rose, Declan immediately took out his phone, thought for a while, and called Maverick.
To Declan'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. Declan thought that he had lost face and lost a lot of money during this period.
Declan was so angry.
'Maverick, you are shameless.'
'It's only Lamont Group.'
'Zane is in Lamont Group.'
"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 and laughed. "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!"
