"Lilian Becham!"
Mango rushed forward and grabbed Lilian's arm before asking angrily, "You! Did you let Augustus go?"
"That's right."
Lilian confessed everything immediately.
She admitted her actions so calmly in front of many people, so Mango was stunned.
"Do you realise what you're saying? What on earth are you trying to do? Lilian, you are Maverick's wife! Why did you do this? Wait, who ordered you to do this? Maverick is still in a coma, so don't you dare harm him."
Mango exclaimed as she couldn't understand Lilian's intentions.
If Lilian was working for Augustus, she wouldn't have treated Maverick that well a few years ago. Furthermore, why didn't she tell Augustus to attack Nathaniel and Mango when they were in the ancestral hall?
As long as she reported their whereabouts to Augustus, the latter could catch them immediately, and both Nathaniel and Mango would have no chance to escape!
Wait, perhaps Lilian didn't do so at that time because they wanted to use them as bait to find out where Morgan was?
Mango's heart skipped a beat at this thought.
If that was the case, Lilian was too cunning! What about Maverick? Did he know about Lilian's true colours?
The questions ran through Mango's mind, but she couldn't find an exact answer.
Meanwhile, Lilian remained calm and indifferent as she replied emotionlessly, "Take me back."
Mango was speechless when she heard this.
"Lilian, if you're facing any struggles, you can tell me about them."
"No, I'm not."
Lilian's responded calmly. However, Mango was very irritated by her nonchalant attitude.
After all, Lilian was the one Maverick cared the most about, so that latter had specifically asked Nathaniel to take care of him. However, it seemed that she had changed drastically.
Mango was depressed, but there was nothing she could do. Then, she said to the person beside her, "Bring her back. Be careful not to hurt her."
"Lilian Becham, this way please."
The bodyguards looked at Lilian in a different light as they said this.
Meanwhile, Lilian walked past Mango as if she didn't see her.
"Where did you send Augustus to?"
Mango wanted to salvage the situation, so she couldn't help but ask.
However, Lilian replied faintly, "I don't know. I was just responsible for sending him out of the village, and I'm not involved in other things."
After hearing that, Mango looked at Lilian's calm expression and let out a depressed sigh. Then, she waved her hand and ordered someone to bring Lilian back.
However, she did not lock Lilian up in the cave. Instead, the latter was imprisoned in Maverick's room.
Mango wanted to prevent Lilian from doing anything crazy, so she took away all of the sharp weapons in this place. In fact, she didn't even leave a single pillow behind.
After that, the house immediately became silent again.
Maverick was still asleep, and no one knew when he would wake up. However, his complexion was healthy, and he looked much more handsome.
Then, Lilian sat down beside him with mixed emotions in her eyes.
After that, she reached out and gently stroked Maverick face while whispering, "You're blaming me for doing this, don't you? After all, you think that I'm working for Augustus, right? Alas! Maverick, when will you wake up? I hope that you regain consciousness soon, but I'm afraid of that too. Heh. Maybe I shouldn't have fallen in love with you. Falling in love with you was a mistake, and I have thought about leaving you, too. But you'd be even depressed without me. After all, I am your only family."
Lilian's eyes turned a little teary as she spoke.
