A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 280

Maverick was lost in thought.

Previously, Byron planned to use the cooperation project at the port to investigate Sarah's death.

Maverick might not be able to find convincing evidence that could hold Zane liable for what he did.

Zane was trying his best to get to the top. Once he got involved in a lawsuit, his reputation would be damaged.

However, Zane was quite careful when he was on to something. It could be difficult for Maverick to get the goods on Zane. Maverick also contacted the person who took the fall for Zane and was sent to prison. Zane used to threaten this scapegoat that his family would be in danger if he said something else. Therefore, it was not so easy for Maverick to get something from this poor prisoner.

Maverick underestimated Zane. Zane had built up his own connections over the years. That was why Maverick had a feeling that Zane became powerful all of a sudden and that he couldn't get a handle on everything now.

Maverick was also in a difficult situation now. Zane had controlled Maverick's children. Therefore, Maverick's hands were tied.

"I get it." Maverick had some clues now. Zane suspected the cooperation between Byron and Maverick. Maverick just wondered why Zane still signed the contract.

Levi called Maverick to have a chat before. Maverick thought that he might know something else if he met Levi.

He could make a wide guess now.

...

No wonder Maverick couldn't find anything about Sarah's death.

It seemed that Zane was fully prepared.

"Don't worry about this. I will pay attention to it." Maverick knew that Everly was going back to the Farley's later. He thought that he had to meet Levi in a while. He took a step back and said, "I can't go to the Farley's with you, but I will send someone to protect you all the time. You have to remember to listen to the bodyguards."

Everly nodded.

Maverick hugged Everly and whispered, "You don't have to think about anything else now. You can just stay with me."

Everly also put her hand around his waist and responded softly, "Okay."

...

Maverick and Everly went to different places when they left the villa.

Perhaps it was because they had been together for the past two days. Everly felt somewhat uncomfortable when they suddenly separated.

However, she did not know that Maverick had been staring at her as she got into the car and left. He then put on a straight face and asked someone to prepare the car for him.

The driver was scared when he was with Maverick.

The driver even did not dare to breathe.

Jayden, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was used to Maverick's cold face. He remained calm and continued to talk about what he found.

"At present, our people have not been able to find the whereabouts of your son. We are sure that Miss Candy and Mrs. Lamont are not in danger in Italy, but they are closely monitored by Zane. I have already contacted Mrs. Lamont. She said that we don't have to worry about them. Miss Candy is fine now."

Jayden paused for a moment before continuing, "I think it must be Zane who told Mr. Levi to ask you to go back. Zane hasn't contacted Italy recently. It is also possible that we missed it when they contacted before." Jayden immediately apologized when realizing that he said something useless, "I'm sorry, Mr. Maverick. I will ask someone to keep an eye on what happens in Italy."

Maverick thought for a while before he suddenly asked, "Do you hear anything from Elenore?"

Jayden: "Because of what happened in the United States, Elenore went back to France and never returned to Italy."

"You are also punctual." Maverick stood there with a condescending look.

Zane slightly raised his head. He really didn't like to look up at someone.

However, Zane had to look up at Maverick all these years.

But Zane believed that Maverick would lose to him soon. If that was the case, Maverick could never look down upon Zane whatever happened.

"We can walk in now," Zane said, "Grandpa will be anxious if he waits for us for a long time. I wonder if you can help me push my wheelchair here."

Maverick did not move.

Zane sat still, too.

Maverick said after a while, "Actually, both you and I know that I have to come here because of you. Why don't you just tell me what you want before sending Edmond back?"

Zane raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Maverick, I am your big brother. I have saved your wife and your child in the US. It was really dangerous back then. I just didn't have the time to tell you. After all, you were shot and stayed in the hospital in America."

"I'm not interested in listening to your sweet talk. Tell me what you want."

"It is inappropriate for us to talk about this at the door. A lot of people pay special attention to us. I don't want to make the headline because other people think that we are not getting along well with each other. Lamont Group is in danger now."

"You want to protect Lamont Group?"

Or what do you think?"
