The police car was always eye-catching among the traffic.
Everly held the steering wheel with both hands. Even if she was side by side with the police car, she only glanced over there. Her mind had already drifted far away.
After Hendrix hung up the phone, Everly's short life of seclusion ended early.
After leaving the hospital, Everly dropped the brush and drove to Maverick's villa.
Along the way, she had been dialing Maverick's phone number. She couldn't remember how many phone calls she made. The phone was turned off, but she wouldn't give up.
"Maverick! Please answer the phone! Turn on the phone and answer my phone call!"
Where the hell did you go?
Anxiety, confusion, and that feeling of uneasiness surged like a tide. Everly was trapped inside and could not move at all. She completely forgot that she was driving now and was waiting for the traffic lights on the street. She threw herself forward in frustration. It was not very painful when she hit the steering wheel, but the sudden sound of a horn scared her quite a bit.
If it hadn't been for the seat belt, she would have hit the roof of the car and got a bump on her head.
Everly was really on the verge of going crazy.
She never needed much effort to find him. Even, most of the time, it was Maverick who took the initiative to call. Sometimes she felt that he was too clingy and took up too much of her energy.
The person she thought that she could not escape from suddenly lost news. Everly felt like she had been abandoned, wronged and afraid, confused and panicked.
Everly let her breath out slowly and gave up on calling Maverick.
At this time, she could not panic and lose all sense of propriety.
Beth.
Perhaps she could help.
Thinking of this, Everly lowered the window. The heat outside almost immediately invaded.
However, Everly felt a cold light shoot over. She looked next to the police car she was ignoring but could see nothing. But the light was coming from that car.
At this time, The traffic lights were on amber.
Everly did not come back to her senses immediately until the police car started and drove out first. In the back seat, a man turned around and glanced at her.
It was as if he had cast a spell. Everly was immobilized
How could it be Zane?
Why was he in the police car?
The frenzied honks of cars protested behind her, and Everly immediately drove away after she realized it.
She did not immediately call Beth but called Hendrix back.
Hendrix had just received a piece of shocking news. His first reaction was that his sister Everly would be worried if she knew about this.
But the next second, Everly called in.
Hendrix glanced at Byron. Byron also saw the name on the phone, and very wisely found an excuse to leave all the mess to Hendrix.
"Hendrix."
Everly did not ask Hendrix why he just picked up the phone. She even forgot to ask him if it was convenient to talk now and got straight to the point, " I just saw Zane sitting in the police car."
The police were efficient.
Hendrix had a headache. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "I don't know. I'll get someone to investigate."
"Alright." Everly did not immediately hang up the phone, "If something happened to Maverick, it must be Zane who did it."
Everly's fair face was reflected in the rearview mirror. Her originally gentle temperament suddenly became a little fierce because of this sentence.
"Hendrix, nothing will happen to Maverick, right?" When Everly asked this question, her hands were trembling. The hand holding the steering wheel was so hard that the veins were bulging out. Only then did she barely stabilize it.
"The situation is unclear," Hendrix sighed, "Perhaps no news is the best news."
When is no news would be the best news?
The situation was extremely dangerous.
Let bygones be bygones, no matter what Kailey thought, the Farleys no longer owed her anything.
After all, Kailey was also helpless.
Kailey was not angry. Instead, she stared at Everly, "Then what are you doing here?"
Could she have detected something?
The moment this thought came out, it was immediately denied.
Everly would not know.
"Where's Maverick?" Everly clenched her fists and felt a little thirsty. This was not a good idea. Even if Kailey knew the whereabouts of Maverick, she would not tell her.
Kailey acted as if was Everly thinking. She closed her eyes and ignored her.
"The Lamont Group is in trouble now, but no one can find Maverick."
Before she could finish, her phone rang and interrupted her.
Everly remained silent and hung up the phone, not saying a word.
"I..."
"No more of that. I don't care if Lamont Group lives or dies." Kailey interrupted as if she had expected what she was going to say. Look, the fox tail was exposed. She just wants Maverick's money.
Just like back then...
"You don't care about Maverick's living or death?" Everly said coldly.
Kailey opened her eyes and seemed to be touched, but as soon as she saw Everly, she looked away. And it was unbearable to look at her for a second.
"I received a report this morning. Maverick's car was found in a reservoir in the south of the city."
Everly suddenly spoke very slowly, as if she did not have the strength to support her to finish the rest of the words, "Maverick, he is missing."
