The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1297

Maverick looked at Lilian, who was unconscious, with a trace of sadness in his eyes. Then, he said in a low voice, "I don't know. Maybe Lilian and Augustus are enemies now because something happened between them. Even if she let him go, she probably wasn't trying to save him. Perhaps she had some other plans in mind?"

Right now, Maverick had no affection and respect for Augustus anymore. Although he swallowed the Golden Lancehead Venom and was unconscious for quite some time, he was still clear about everything that happened. He knew how Augustus treated him then and how the latter had dealt with his injuries. Hence, he lost his trust in Augustus from that moment on.

Although Augustus raised him for the past thirty years, it seemed that he had repaid his debt. From now on, they no longer had any relationship with each other.

Meanwhile, Mango glanced at Maverick's cold expression. Maverick looked the same as how Nathaniel did a few years ago.

In fact, both of them were actually quite similar at times. For instance, they looked cold and indifferent after their loved ones had hurt

them. Despite putting on a brave front, she knew that they were actually deeply hurt inside.

Hence, Mango felt that there was something that she had to tell Maverick.

She pondered for a moment and whispered, "Maverick, there is something I think you should know."

"What is it?"

"It's about Augustus."

Mango knew that it was taboo to talk about Augustus right now, but she knew that Maverick had to deal with this problem sooner or later. Even if he wanted to avoid it, he could not escape it forever.

Therefore, Maverick was a little surprised. His gaze changed, and he said faintly, "What's the matter with him? Didn't he run away?"

"Do you know about his true identity?"

Maverick was puzzled by Mango's question.

"What do you mean?"

"I sent people to investigate Augustus Abbott's identity. Augustus passed away 30 years ago, and all his relatives disappeared overnight. But the Augustus' that we're familiar with stolen his person's identity and lived around for years. Back

then, the Internet was still not advanced, and it was difficult to track past documents. That's why there was a loophole. Now that Lilian has released Augustus, we still don't know what his real identity is. Alas! I don't have any clues at all!"

Maverick's eyes suddenly narrowed when he heard what Mango had said.

"What did you say? Are you telling to tell me that Augustus is dead?"

"Well, the real Augustus is dead, and we're not sure of the true identity of the current Augustus."

Maverick was stunned right now.

If Augustus had died thirty years ago, then who was his father?

Who was the man who raised him all these years?

Suddenly, Maverick felt that everything was ridiculous!

He had lived for thirty years with this man, but he did not even know who his father was or what the latter's true colours were.

This explained why Augustus was mean and indifferent to him. In fact, he did not care about Maverick! at all. Well, how could a person who could abandon his own identity for thirty years care about a b*stard like Maverick?

Maybe the reason why Augustus and Madeline were together back then was for the mines of Longford County. Thus, it seemed they he was just a result of unintended pregnancy, so he was also an unwanted baby.

It was a pity that Longford County had not told the secret to Augustus, so Maverick had managed to survive till now.

If that was the case, he lived his whole life just for one purpose. All he had done was to create trouble for Nathaniel. Furthermore, he had allowed Augustus to use him to unravel the secret of Longford County!

After thinking through the whole picture, Maverick suddenly felt that he was in such a ridiculous situation.

Previously, he had never been an emotional person. However, he couldn't hold it in anymore. After all, the intense pain and sorrow was slowly engulfing his soul and tearing him apart.

Was this why they had chosen to give birth to him?

If a man like Augustus could easily abandon his own child, this meant that he had quite a difficult goal to accomplish!

Well, Augustus was definitely aiming for not just the money in the mine.

Wait, why did he want that money?

Could he buy true love with money?

Nah, he couldn't even buy family relationships!

Maverick was Augustus's only son, but Augustus didn't care about him in the slightest. If he wasn't Augustus favourite child, perhaps Augustus would already have other children before meeting Madeline.

These strange thoughts suddenly surfaced into Maverick's mind, so he was stunned.

Then, he quickly suppressed the fumbling thoughts and the pouring emotions that was about to explode.
