The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1298

On the other hand, Mango was shocked to hear this news, and she couldn't believe it.

They had been investigating for so long because they thought that Benny Powell was their only clue. However, Benny had actually been dead for more than 20 years.

How was this possible?

But, she didn't think that Maverick needed to lie to her.

Hence, Mango couldn't help but miss Nathaniel even more.

Well, perhaps Nathaniel could help out with this confusion if he was here?

On the other hand, Maverick was also thinking about his own problems. When he turned around and saw Mango, he paused for a moment before asking, "Has Nathaniel not returned yet?"

"No, Angela seems to be hiding something from us."

After that, Mango told Maverick the whole story.

She was very worried about Nathaniel and Rita. However, just as Barnes' wife had said, Angela had no reason to go against Morgan. So why did

Angela do this?

"Perhaps she did this to confuse the people outside. Maybe she wanted Morgan to think that there was a spy around him so that they could lure out the real mastermind."

Mango had definitely thought about what Maverick said. However, she still couldn't figure it out.

"If that's the case, Nathan and the others would have sent us a message. But we only received one from the vermin, and it asked us to sit and wait. I didn't know if the news was true, so I was a little worried and sceptical about it."

Mango's furrowed her brows tightly when she thought about this.

Then, Maverick said faintly, "If you want to know whether it's true or not, should we ask Lilian to bring us there and find out more about it?"

"As you've seen, Lilian's condition is unstable, and we don't know when she will wake up. Even if she does, we can't guarantee that she will be willing to help us. Maverick, I don't understand the fued between Lilian and Augustus. But I saw how determined she was when she committed suicide, so I'm afraid..."

Mango did not say continue her sentence.

After all, love was the most complicated problem

in this world.

However, Maverick glanced at Lilian, who was still lying unconsciously on the bed, and whispered, "She will wake up soon, so you should go back first. I will call you when she awakes. Take good care of yourself during this period of time. Otherwise, Nathaniel will worry about you.

Mango could be wrong, but she could definitely feel that Maverick's mood had improved a little.

But wasn't he affected by the truth behind Augustus identity?

Why did he look happy instead?

"Are you all right, Maverick?"

Mango asked concernedly.

"I'm fine, so you can go back first."

Maverick directly ordered her to leave. Thus, Mango understood and leave immediately.

After she walked out of the ward, Maverick closed the door directly. Hence, Mango was kind of displeased by his behaviour.

Did he hate her that much?

After that, only both Maverick and Lilian were left in the room. THen, Maverick looked at Lilian, who was lying on the bed, with affection in his eyes.

"When will you stop pretending to be asleep? Heh, I can see that your eyelids are twitching. You've been with me for so long, but you still so bad at disguising yourself. Lilian, what have you learnt from me all these years?"

Maverick teased herdotingly.

On the other hand, Lilian had no choice but to open her eyes as Maverick had exposed her disguise. However, she was stunned when she saw Maverick smiling at her.

Even after twelve years together, she still could not resist his charm.

Alas! She had fallen head over heel for him once again just by looking at his smile! In fact, she would do anything for him right now!

However, Lilian was annoyed at herself for acting this way.

At this thought, she quickly turned her head away. She wanted to ignore the fact that the person in front of her was actually Augustus's son, so he was her enemy!

Maverick had been smiling at first, but his eyes darkened when he noticed that Lilian was trying to avoid him.

"Look, can you stop making such a big fuss? Enough is enough!"

Maverick ordered coldly as he was furious.

On the other hand, Lilian was a little scared when she heard this, and she bit her lower lip without saying a word.

Then, Maverick rushed forward and grabbed her chin before forcing her to look into his fury eyes.

"Answer me now! Are you done making a fuss?"

"Yes! Alright! Let me go!"

Lilian said in a hoarse voice, but she was determined.

After all, her jaw hurt badly.

Maverick had rarely treated her violently for the past twelve years they had been together. The one time he had done so was when he was mad at her when they had first got together. Therefore, Maverick treated her well all along. However, this was the first time she felt terrified when she saw Maverick's bloodshot eyes and burning anger.

Then, she told herself that the man in front of her was her enemy's son. Therefore, she couldn't allow him to betwitch her and influence her anymore! Despite that, she didn't have the courage to act so. Hence, she reacted as if she had done something wrong instead.

Did she owe him anything?

Of course, she did!

After all, she had personally killed their child.

Maybe Maverick already knew about this too, right?

Well, he liked and adored children so much. But still, perhaps Maverick would never forgive her for this even if she paid for this mistake with her life, right?

On the other hand, Lilian always knew that Maverick was not a kind person. After all, she knew how ruthless he could be more than anyone else.

Over the past twelve years, she had witnessed how cruel and brutal he was. Although he had killed and harmed many people, he had never directed these hatred and violence to her.
