For her, Maverick was impossible to be on the line with extreme coldness and ruthlessness.
However, what he had just heard was completely reverse.
In fact, Everly was not a saint. She would not measure anyone with her own standards, but she still felt that breaking the law was not allowed.
At this time, perhaps she would really understand why Maverick had such an attitude because of the photo.
Perhaps in his heart, that was the standard.
Whether it was right or wrong, he had his own standards in his heart, as long as he felt that it was right, then whatever you did, it was right.
People with money and power would indeed have this kind of superiority, but as human beings, they should still insist on correct values and morals.
Everly was lost in her own thoughts. Maverick had already hung up the phone. When he turned around, he saw a thoughtful look on her face. Standing at the door, he was sure that she must have heard something.
The coldness on his face had not been retracted yet. Fortunately, Everly had lowered her head and did not see it.
"Why are you standing here?" Everly asked as she shook the cigarette between her fingers.
The sudden voice stunned Everly for a moment. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and suddenly looked up. When she saw Maverick, she seemed to instinctively move back a little.
Maverick was such a domineering person, of course he could feel it.
The expression on his face immediately sank. "What?"
Everly also felt that she might have acted a little too excessively.
Moreover... shouldn't the two of them communicate with each other when they were together?
They were all adults, so it was not necessarily a good thing to hide.
She sighed and stepped forward, gently grabbing Maverick's hand and saying, "You just called me. I accidentally heard it."
"What?"
"How... are you going to deal with those two?"
As a shrewd person, Maverick narrowed his eyes and asked, "Didn't you hear everything?"
Everly was keenly aware that there was something wrong with his mood today.
Under those cold emotions, he seemed to be deliberately covering up the pain.
In fact, she was not particularly sure whether what she felt was right or not.
"Did anything happen?" After thinking about it, it was Alex who had hurt her with his words. Everly comforted him, "Actually, Alex did not get any benefits just now. I do not object to you making them fail in terms of commercial means. But Maverick... do not do anything illegal."
"What is illegal, and what is not illegal?" Maverick looked straight at Everly, "In this world, there are not only black and white. Do you know the gray zone?"
For the first time, Everly felt that she actually did not know this man at all.
"I know about the Gray Zone, but when you do things, you have to be honest, right?"
Maverick seemed to sneer, "Conscience? Many people's consciences have been eaten by dogs. Everly, do you know why I have never told you about the Waller family?"
Everly pursed her lips and shook her head.
Maverick looked at her: "I can tell you, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to take it. For the Waller family in the past and me now, as well as what I was like in the past ten years, you won't know how I came over. In fact, I don't have a conscience. In the past, I always felt that my heart had already died, but later I found that when I met you, it was still beating."
He had always felt that he had forgotten the past. Even if not, he would not be mentioned again. However, Declan's words had easily evoked the root of the devil in his heart.
Therefore, he knew that there were some things that would be useless even if you used all methods to zip everyone's lips. This was because those who knew about it would always know about it. Moreover, they would not speak about it in front of themselves and spread it behind his back.
Just now, he had just instructed his subordinates to stop Declan from speaking again. Even Everly had this kind of reaction.
In that instant, he already knew that if one day, everything he had done was known to her, she might be even more unbearable.
But he could not lose her.
Just thinking about it made him extremely irritable.
It was even more impossible for him to face everything like this.
Maverick was like this. He had strong possessiveness, and only he knew that he was close to a pervert.
He could not bear the risk, so now he began to gain sympathy in front of Everly and gave her a preview.
In the past, the Waller family was the most prosperous family in City C. My mother was the daughter of the Waller family. Now, not many people in this City know about this family. But at that time, the Waller family was the combination of the Lamont Family, the Rice Family, the Kahl Family, and the Croke Family.
This was the first time Maverick mentioned this to Everly.
It was impossible for Everly to know what Maverick was really thinking, but she knew that what Maverick told her would not be false.
It's true, but Maverick never wanted to mention it.
"How could it be so easy to throw down such a big family? It's just a pity that my mother is the only child of such a big family."
