Chapter 614
Hearing this, Xavier's mind went blank. Theodore knew about it?
How could he allow such a thing to happen?
Maverick knew what he was thinking when he saw Xavier's dazed expression. He sighed softly and continued, "Your brother did it for the sake of the Godfrey family. He just wanted Wilson to leave Godfrey Group completely. This way, you can have your own chance to consolidate your power. Godfrey Group is already in a mess and many things are controlled by Wilson. You are still young. You will be the only one suffering if you want to fight against him head-on."
"He will take over the control of Godfrey Group again?" Xavier asked in a deep voice, with a cold look in his gloomy eyes.
Maverick nodded. Although he had never dealt with Wilson, he felt that that man was not a kind person. How could he be a good father when he hurt his two children like this?
"Then why are you here?"
"I knew that you would come to me to take back those shares, but I'm telling you now that I will not give them to you. When things are over, you can take them back. As long as the shares are in the hands of outsiders, Wilson can be at ease and carry out his own plans because you will be busy trying to get the shares back," Maverick explained.
Xavier was silent for a moment and didn't say anything else.
Maverick sighed. "In fact, Theodore clearly has a better way to control his company, but he gave up everything for your sake. Perhaps what he wanted to achieve isn't here, but he has no choice either."
Of course, Xavier knew this. What Theodore wanted the most was to enter the government ranks. Unfortunately, his hopes had been dashed a few years ago. He had no choice but to return to manage the company.
The two brothers ended up in this state because of Wilson.
His dreams were all ruined by him just like that.
"Thank you, Mr. Laneigh."
"You're welcome. Your brother and I have known each other for a long time anyway. The reason why I came is to tell you is that I hope you will not always be entangled in this matter and concentrate on the bigger picture so that your father can be brought to justice as soon as possible." Maverick knew that it was not appropriate to say this, but it was the truth.
Xavier lowered his gaze and sighed. "If that's the case, I can only follow my brother's wishes."
"You're lucky to have such a good brother." Hearing his words, Maverick replied calmly.
Hearing this, Xavier couldn't help but laugh. "Don't you also have an elder brother? I heard that he has already gotten married for your sake."
Maverick snorted. It was easy for him to say so, but the Laneigh family was the only one who was clear about the arranged marriage. He didn't want to argue with Xavier anymore, so he stood up and walked out.
Xavier looked at his retreating back and shook his head. He was given a chance now.
Yantsey walked in and asked, "How is it going, Mr. Godfrey?"
"Everything's fine, go back to work," Xavier replied in a deep voice.
Yantsey saw that he didn't want to talk, so he didn't force him. He turned around and went out.
After leaving Godfrey Group, Maverick wandered around the streets. It had been a long time since he came to Ocpeace City.
Many things had changed.
Feeling tired, Maverick walked into a cafe and had a cup of coffee. As soon as he took a seat, he saw
Ysabelle coming in from outside.
His lips curled into a smile. She came when he was just thinking that there was no one to keep him company.
"Miss Meyer."
Meanwhile, Ysabelle came for coffee. When she heard someone calling for her, she looked back. Seeing Maverick there, she was a little shocked. "Mr. Laneigh, why are you here?"
"I'm quite free, so I came over to have a drink." He chuckled and waved as he gestured for her to take a seat and rest for a while.
She didn't say anything and walked over before she sat directly in front of him.
He looked at her carefully. It was said that the daughters of the Meyer family were famed ice queens, and they were also the most powerful experts in their workplaces.
That day, he trusted what they said.
Ysabelle knew that he was looking at her. She said in a crisp voice slowly, "Is there any dirt on my face, Mr. Laneigh?"
"No, I'm just wondering if all the daughters of the Meyer family are as cold and aloof as you." He did not feel that he had lost his poise because of his actions earlier. On the contrary, he spoke out his doubts in a natural and unrestrained manner.
She laughed suddenly. "You are also a businessman. Don't you know?"
"Yes, but all the men are rejected by you. You're obviously an ice queen. Who would dare to approach you?" He pretended to be joking.
She didn't care. She was used to it.
As for who she liked or who liked her, she didn't care about it anymore.
"Ysabelle." Christopher called out suddenly. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Maverick and Ysabelle looked over and saw Christopher and Erine standing at the side. They looked at them in surprise.
Erine, in particular, stared at Maverick.
He saw her too. The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
"Why are you here?" Ysabelle asked in confusion. Shouldn't he be at work in the hospital?
"I took Erine out for a drink. Everleigh is keeping watch on the patients at the hospital. Ysabelle, who is this person?" Christopher had never seen him before and did not know who he was.
It was only after hearing his question that they remembered that Maverick was there. "Hello, Mr. Meyer. My name is Maverick Laneigh."
Hearing his words, Erine's heart nearly stopped and panic flashed across her eyes.
However, none of them saw this.
When Christopher heard that he was from the Laneigh family, he felt that it sounded a little familiar but he couldn't remember it.
Maverick, on the other hand, shifted his eyes slightly and fixed them on Erine.
"Miss Harrison, we've known each other for a long time. Why don't you say something?"
His words made both the Meyer siblings look at Erine.
Her face turned a little red. She said awkwardly, "Mr. Laneigh, we are not familiar with each other."
"Really? Your family wants you to marry into the Laneigh family. How could we not know each other?"
As soon as Maverick's words left his mouth, Christopher and Ysabelle came to a realization instantly. They had heard from the Harrison family that Erine was going to have an arranged marriage with the Laneigh family. They didn't really care which Laneigh family they were talking about, but they didn't expect that this person was Maverick.
When Erine heard his words, she burst into anger instantly. "Mr. Laneigh, what you said is wrong. Even if it is an arranged marriage, that will be to the real daughter of the Harrison family, not me."
He raised his eyebrows. "Do you mean that you are not a member of the Harrison family?"
"I'm not. Meredith ran away with someone else so her responsibility fell on me. How could you not know about this, Mr. Laneigh?" Erine asked coldly, completely ignoring the fact that she was airing her family's dirty laundry.
She had not experienced the glory as a member of the Harrison family, so she definitely would not take the blame for their disgrace.
She had always held onto her own principles. Otherwise, she didn't know what other confidence she had to show up in front of everyone.
However, she didn't expect to meet Maverick here. She hadn't heard of him coming back.
Then, Christopher held Erine's hand gently.
