"Edmond is in the school. I have already contacted Maverick." Hendrix sat on the sofa with a rare silence, "I'll get the driver to pick him up. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Don't go to work anyway. Don't you want to learn painting? I've arranged a teacher for you. How about you go abroad for a while?"
Everly did not expect the opening speech to be so direct.
"Things are complicated?"
Hendrix pressed his eyebrows, "How should I put it? You know that the Lamont family is in a complicated situation now. In fact, after Maverick took down the company, he has been preparing to fight with other families. Your matter is like a fuse. The Kahl family is pursuing the victory and can't wait to deal with Maverick. I'm just afraid that you will be implicated."
Everly pursed her lips, wanting to say something.
Hendrix continued, "And you are not alone. Do you know? Edmond is also in danger. Many people in the business field are very treacherous. They can do anything."
Everly swallowed the words she was about to say.
Hendrix reached out to knock on the table and said, "As for the media, Maverick stepped forward immediately and removed all the news. However, someone is behind the scenes. This is how the current society is. Public opinion is very destructive. Moreover, at this time, you can't be too tough. It is good for you to change a place."
Everly took a deep breath, "If I run away, that means I agree with the insults of others."
"I won't run away. Even if Maverick and I are in trouble, we are both unmarried. Who has the right to say that? Is it because he has an engagement with the Kahl family? As far as I know, he never recognized it directly. I am ready to sue those people."
Hendrix was a little surprised, "Sue?"
"Yes, slander, abuse, personal attack. These are all reasons. Why should I hide? I can hide for a while. But what will Edmond think in the future? We are fair and square. Don't be afraid."
Hendrix smiled, "Very good. I am very pleased that you can think this way. It seems that being a mother is different. I am just afraid that you will feel uncomfortable and can't tide through these difficulties. Now that you have said it yourself, I am relieved."
However, Everly was concerned with something else, "I don't want you to participate in it. It's my own affair. You don't have to worry too much about it. Just like you said, I don't want you to be hurt by the fight between those families."
Hendrix smiled, "Am I that weak?"
"Anyway, you have been protecting me all these years. Now I should think for you."
"It's good that you can think for us. We are brother and sister. As a brother, I won't let anyone bully my sister."
Everly felt warmed, "Then what happened to the man five years ago?"
"I've asked someone to investigate the watch. It was limited in the world. But in fact, if someone really bought it, they wouldn't let anyone leak the information. What I knew is that it was bought in Italy by a woman. It seems that I still got nothing."
Italy?
Everything that happened before could be considered a coincidence, so was this a coincidence?
Maverick was also in Italy before. But she was not sure if the watch was really Maverick's, just like she was not sure whether that man was Maverick.
But at this time, the hope in the depths of her heart surged again.
It was just like watching reasoning TV when you were young. People often said, most of the time, you should think that the most impossible would often become the truth.
"Do you know anything about that woman?"
