A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 290

Especially when he saw Maverick hugging Everly, his protective behavior was different from his usual domineering aura. Levi, who only cared for benefits, would only look upon him because Maverick was indeed Kailey's son.

A calculating look flashed through his eagle-like sharp eyes, and disdain hung on his drooping lips.

People who had concerns were found soft spots.

Levi had previously felt that there was no way to control Maverick, but now seeing this scene, he had a bit of praise for Zane and a faint worry as well.

These two grandsons weren't easy to get along with. Both were ruthless.

"How could you have all elders wait for you at a time like this?" Levi lowered his voice and seized the opportunity to lecture him, "Stupid! Do you think you are a guest at the Lamont family's dinner?"

Levi liked to be held up by others and enjoyed the feeling of standing in a high place. He was playing the leading role in the Lamont family. The Kahl family and the Rice family in City C were down while the Lamont family was in the limelight. So it was inevitable that Levi would float up. Especially when they knew that he secretly planned to set Maverick up.

This was how snobbish people were. Levi ordered Maverick arrogantly.

Maverick had long seen through Levi, so he never counted on him, let alone respected him. He returned a fake smile, "Then when should I come? Come here early to wait? You are old and confused."

Glancing at Zane who was not far away, Maverick said, "This dinner is just a form of interests exchange."

"Exchanging interests"- these two words came out of Maverick's mouth with a sense of coldness and bloodthirsty.

In the current situation, Maverick seemed to be at a disadvantage for now. Zane was also not sure of victory. Compared to Maverick, he needed more power. He did not dare to completely turn against Maverick.

It was too early for Levi to be happy. He calculated in his mind that Maverick may have a backup plan. This young man had always been powerful, so he unexpectedly smiled again, "You just don't understand my painstaking efforts. I am thinking for your sake. Today, there are so many people watching. In the future, you will take over the Lamont family. Don't make others gossip."

Hypocrisy.

Maverick and Everly both thought of the same word.

He was so shameless that he was just like a fake gentleman and a real villain.

The more Everly interacted with the Lamont family, the stronger feeling she had.

Countless monsters showed up one after another, and those who have not been touched, such as the Italian forces...

Maverick's life was far more complicated than Everly imagined.

Would she be afraid?

To tell the truth, she would.

Fear was the instinct of people to avoid harm.

Everly was a simple girl, who was doted on by her parents and protected by Hendrix. Her life was also very smooth. The first shock for her was Lucas cheating on her. But because of Edmond, everything was different. She lived alone and brought up a big child in a foreign country.

People would be strong because of feelings.

Everly clenched Maverick's arm. Because she stayed by his side, the fear became faint. The love grew firm.

Maverick probably felt the slight change in Everly's heart and patted her hand.

Sorry baby for letting you see the disgusting side of these people.

At this time, Zane pushed his wheelchair over. He was a strong person. In this kind of situation, he should have someone push him to fit his status as the young master of the Lamont family. However, he insisted on doing it himself. Probably because he did not want to be looked at with sympathy, but he was sitting in a wheelchair. A poor lie revealed the truth.

"Grandpa, why are you so angry? He's already here. Calm down."

This sentence that seemed to have helped him out of a difficult situation ignited the fire in Levi's heart.

Previously, Maverick did not appear. Levi was worried that Maverick would not come to the banquet when he heard something.

A person cared about other people's opinions, did things in his way, and was also iron-blooded. His mind was even more unfathomable. He could go back on his words.

Now that he saw Maverick here, his probing eyes fell on Zane, and his words at that time rang in his ears - Maverick would come because he was not afraid of trouble.

Even if he knew there was a trap tonight, with Maverick's pride, he would not come, especially when it concerned his child - Everly's child.

Once a person had concerns, it was equivalent to exposing their weakness.
