Everly was in disbelief.
In the past few days, she had been locked up by Zane and was unable to see Edmond. She did not know how abnormal Zane was.
However, everything that had happened before, including what had happened to Sarah, made Everly believe that Zane was not a good person.
Maybe Sarah was killed by him.
When she thought of this, Everly felt even more uneasy.
This kind of person did not even care about murder and arson. Moreover, he still had hatred with Maverick. If he hurt Edmond, she would fight him to the death.
So in the past few days, her mind was in a mess. She forced herself to calm down. She did not eat anything and wanted to see Zane. But today, she did not expect that he would allow her to see Edmond.
When Everly got up, her body swayed a bit. Zane took the initiative to reach out and support her.
She didn't know why he showed such sudden goodwill.
Everly was so frightened that she subconsciously stiffened and recoiled from his touch.
Zane directly grabbed her shoulder. His strength was not particularly great, but it also made Everly unable to break free.
Everly looked at him in surprise, saying, "Mr. Lamont, please behave yourself."
"Maverick and I are brothers, and there is no need to treat me as an outsider," Zane said. His tone made Everly feel creepy. She was even more terrified and uneasy. He continued, "A few days ago, we had some misunderstandings. Now, we can get back together."
"Get back together? With you?" Everly wondered.
Everly didn't know if this Zane was crazy or not. His words made her puzzled.
But no matter what, now that she could see Edmond, she didn't want to piss this unpredictable man off.
The most important thing now was to make sure of Edmond's safety first.
"Is my son alright?" Everly tried her best to remain calm. Right now, she was being held by Zane. If he did not hurt her and her son, she believed that Maverick would come to save her soon.
"What do you think?" When Zane walked, he felt a little strange.
Everly knew that this man had no legs, so he should be walking using artificial limbs.
Perhaps due to the fear in her heart, when she looked at Zane, that feeling was even stranger.
Since Zane was disabled, he naturally cared about other people's expressions. After so many years, he was used to being sensitive. The two legs that a man lost were equivalent to losing a part of his dignity. The inconvenience of living would naturally create a shadow in his heart.
However, he was already able to control his feelings of inferiority.
And these feelings of inferiority, in the end, will produce a dark side in the heart.
"Maverick must have told you about how did I lose my legs, right?" Zane spoke gently as if he was talking about other people's business.
Everly felt a little uneasy.
After careful consideration, she said, "Yes."
Everly's body trembled and she struggled. "Let me go!"
"You seem to be very afraid of me and are still pretending to be calm," Zane said confidently, "Why are you afraid of me? I won't eat you. I'm not worse than Maverick. It's just that I don't have two legs, but I have everything that a man should have. I am quite curious about why my brother is so obsessed with you? How did you sex him up?"
Everly felt that it was an insult to a woman.
She was very upset, and her previous calmness was mostly gone. She pushed Zane away.
Perhaps he was not used to using artificial limbs; after Everly pushed him, his body staggered, being humiliated. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
Everly's chest heaved, saying seriously, "Zane Lamont, I don't know what you're up to. I don't want to know, but please behave yourself! If you want to do anything, come to me. Don't hurt an innocent child. My son doesn't know anything. He's still young. Isn't you afraid of being brought to judgment?"
Zane suddenly burst into laughter.
"Bring me to judgment?" He said in a sarcastic tone. It was as if he had heard a very funny joke. His entire face looked a little sinister from that smile. "There is a complete hypocrite by your side. If you want to bring someone to judgment, then go to find him."
Everly knew that he was taking Maverick.
"What exactly do you want? Don't hurt my son. Let him go and let him go back to the Farley's. You should know that you are breaking the law by doing this!" She yelled to him.
"Everly, you are interesting. Do you not know what kind of person Maverick is? Don't pretend to be lofty in front of me."
"No matter what Maverick does, he will not do anything to hurt children. Zane, you will also become a father in the future," She said.
"Then you don't understand Maverick. Do you know? If he chose between a child and a woman, he would definitely choose a woman. Do you believe it?" He said.
