A Pigeon Pair: Sweetheart, Let's Get Married novel Chapter 58

City C.

The Rice's mansion.

Even though the mansion of the Rice family was in the class with the Lamont's, it was also located in the prime area of the city. It was priceless in terms of the current market price.

However, this area was not Declan's favorite.

He firmly believed in geomantic omen. Previously, a geomancer had told him in private that this mansion did not do good to him.

Where was the best place?

The Lamont's mansion.

Declan always thought that one day, he would be the owner of that mansion.

Declan was already in his early 50s this year.

But he was the youngest among them. Even now, as Will and Jenson were already semi-retired, he was still working on the frontlines.

This was all because of his indomitable spirit. Naturally, he was unwilling to surrender to Maverick.

Back then, when he was struggling with Will, Maverick wasn't even one of the Lamonts. But now, this suckling was not only suppressing his business but also stealing his things halfway on purpose.

What a good boy!

Now that he came to Weirdale, he just got into a fight with them directly.

After Declan heard about the reports on the phone, he threw it away.

Damn it, he had underestimated Maverick.

Fine.

This man knew how to borrow water to sail a boat.

Pretended to be unprepared and went to the dinner directly, he had someone mopped up Chace's base secretly.

Of course, it was not that Maverick's appearance at the dinner that gained Declan's trust, but that he had rushed directly to Weirdale at the first possible moment. It was even an early flight.

He told Jayden to contact Chace for the very first time.

He counted every minute as if he was telling everyone who was paying close attention to this that he was worried from the moment it happened.

He acted like he was deeply concerned about this supply source and that his throat was clutched.

While most ironically, he was just offering cooperation in a show. Under the table, he had already found a way out effortless.

Declan was originally planning to teach Maverick a lesson. Back then, he had hinted to this guy that he wanted to take the LAL branch.

If the Lamonts wanted LAL, they could just tell him.

He had lost a large amount of money because of Maverick, who had said nothing but cut off his project halfway.

Except for the money, he was also mad at feeling embarrassed.

People were watching!

He was humiliated by a junior! He just couldn't accept it.

But now looking back, everything he had done was more like a clown in Maverick's eyes. This man actually made him a fool again and again!

The more Declan thought about it, the more he hated it. He just couldn't let go. He would not leave the matter at that.

Walking around the room, his eyes turned cold as he finally thought of something.

Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

...

To Everly, it had been like a dream in the past two days.

Last night, it was Maverick who brought her back to the hotel. She was a little dumbfounded all the way.

What had happened was way too much for her to think it over. What exactly was the specific meaning of it?

Even then, she could still figure out something. She was more or less clear that Maverick should have stalled for a bit yesterday. In the end, he had turned things over and handed those people to the police. It seemed that he was well-prepared, but the data had shown that as for the suppliers, they followed Chace's lead indeed.

What about the project? He was not worried?

As they went back to the hotel at night, Maverick didn't say anything. After telling her not to go out in the evening, he disappeared as if he had something else to do.

Tired as she was, she didn't go to sleep when she got back to the hotel room. Instead, she took a bath before checking on some information about Mr. Declan, the one they talked about in the private room.

Later she fell asleep on the desk and it was already midnight when she woke up.

She picked up the phone and found that there were a few missed calls.

Some belonged to Hendrix, while the other was Edmond's.

Everly frowned. Not knowing why, she felt somehow unsettled. She definitely wouldn't be able to go to the parent-teacher meeting in time. She sent a message to Hendrix since it was obviously improper to call back at midnight. Then she went to bed after a small tidying up.

It was the phone that woke her up again.

Everly answered the phone with a drowsy look when Hendrix called. She muffled, "Hendrix, what's up so early?"

It was just past seven as she took a glance at the clock just now.

Hendrix sighed slightly and said in a heavy tone, "Everly, how are things going?"

Before Everly could reply, he quickly continued, "You need to come back no matter what. Something has happened to Edmond."

Everly's heart sunk. Hendrix wouldn't say so for no reason. In other words, if it was just a small problem, he wouldn't call her so early in the morning.

Everly suddenly became conscious.

"What is it?"

--

At the same time.

City C, Kahl's Mansion.

At the breakfast time, all the Kahls were here.

It was surprising that Miley, the bad-tempered and lazy little sister in the Kahl clan, was at the table today. Probably knew that Jenson was at home, she came down early for breakfast.

Carolina also happened to stay at the Kahl's mansion yesterday.

Jenson flipped through the newspaper and turned to Carolina as he thought of something, "Have you seen Maverick lately?"

Carolina tightened her grip on the cup and shook her head, "Dad, he is probably going on a business trip recently."

"Probably?" Jenson sneered, "You're such an interesting fiancée."

Carolina's face stiffened.

Miley coquettishly changed her posture and sneered like her father, "Dad, everybody knows she has always been like this. Take it easy, you have me."

"You?" Jenson glanced sideways at his younger daughter and said angrily, "Can you give it a rest? Stop the stupid quarrel with each other, OK? A woman is circling around Maverick lately. Do you know who she is? I need you to team up and deal with it first. You have only two months. If you can't handle it, don't bring up the marriage with the Lamonts again. Don't forget that they are not the only wealthy clans in City C. Yesterday Declan had contacted me. His son is coming back from abroad. "

Declan's son?

Miley and Carolina finally became unanimous to each other, on changing the face.
